- 0:17Speaker 1: Guys, welcome to Brief Recess. I'm Michael Foot, I'm Melissa Albrand.
- 0:27Speaker 1: And then we're going to be talking about soup, transracialism.
- 0:30Speaker 1: I set the airport Secret Lives of Mormon Wives that time.
- 0:33Speaker 1: I was crying on the floor Melissa's office. We have
- 0:37Speaker 1: a wild interview with doctor Leslie Dobson talking about Jeffrey
- 0:40Speaker 1: Epstein conspiracies. And I'm going to answer all your questions
- 0:43Speaker 1: from the DM, so stick around. I was in Jupiter.
- 0:50Speaker 1: I don't and so I'm texting Charmaine and I'm like,
- 0:52Speaker 1: where did you get this edible from? She gave it
- 0:54Speaker 1: to me, Where did she get it from? We don't
- 0:56Speaker 1: know where it came from. We can't figure out where
- 0:59Speaker 1: the edible came from that I took. We don't know
- 1:02Speaker 1: the provenance, you.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Don't know the origin story. No, and now took it?
- 1:06Speaker 1: Are things that bad? Where I'm just eating drugs that
- 1:10Speaker 1: I thought.
- 1:11Speaker 2: I was like, I just buy it in her bag
- 1:14Speaker 2: had lints on it.
- 1:14Speaker 1: So she did find it in her bag and she
- 1:16Speaker 1: came to me, but it was in a little dime bag. No,
- 1:18Speaker 1: there was no lint on it, but it was in
- 1:21Speaker 1: a little dime bag. And so she gave it to me.
- 1:23Speaker 1: But it was like a year ago, so it's just
- 1:25Speaker 1: been in the cabinet, in the cupboard, and I'm like.
- 1:28Speaker 3: This is like the equivalent of when you were, like,
- 1:30Speaker 3: you know, when you were a kid and your grandma
- 1:32Speaker 3: had like a candy in her purse.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, And like literally was I think I was
- 1:37Speaker 1: in a toy Star with Charmaine. We were shopping, yeah,
- 1:40Speaker 1: and she was like, oh, do you want the edible?
- 1:42Speaker 1: My friend gave it to me or something, and so
- 1:45Speaker 1: but I was I was truly seeing sounds. I'm hearing colors.
- 1:52Speaker 2: I don't like that.
- 1:52Speaker 1: And I texted her, I was like, where did you
- 1:54Speaker 1: get this?
- 1:54Speaker 2: Because you want another one?
- 1:55Speaker 1: She was like, let me text my friend and find out.
- 1:57Speaker 1: And then he couldn't remember. So now we've got a
- 1:59Speaker 1: whole chain going around looking up for the origin story. Anyway,
- 2:04Speaker 1: how is your weekend, gorgeous, look at you? A vision?
- 2:07Speaker 1: A vision.
- 2:12Speaker 2: There was something I wanted to say to you, and
- 2:14Speaker 2: I can't remember what it is.
- 2:15Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, Okay, was it a slur?
- 2:18Speaker 2: Maybe?
- 2:18Speaker 1: As usual as usual? Actually this weekend someone yelled at me,
- 2:23Speaker 1: did you have a coming? I was going to d C.
- 2:26Speaker 1: So I was headed to d C.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Why are we going to d C?
- 2:29Speaker 1: Amtrack? I spoke at an event, okay, and so I
- 2:34Speaker 1: had to take miss amtrack okay. And since the airports
- 2:38Speaker 1: are cocked, truly a hot mess in America right now. Uh,
- 2:45Speaker 1: Amtrak has really taken a brunting as well.
- 2:49Speaker 3: I mean an Amtrak already. The infrastructure is not terrific, right.
- 2:53Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, it's hanging on by a thread. You're
- 2:56Speaker 1: lucky if you have two rails for the train. So
- 2:59Speaker 1: it's about, I want to say, a throng of two
- 3:01Speaker 1: hundred people waiting for the actual track to be announced, right,
- 3:06Speaker 1: because everyone waits for the track, and it's all New
- 3:09Speaker 1: York DC types. So people are just like standing there
- 3:11Speaker 1: on their phones, very bored, waiting waiting for the track
- 3:13Speaker 1: to be announced. I hear someone yell hey, everyone stops
- 3:20Speaker 1: and turns because there's nothing else going on in the
- 3:22Speaker 1: train station, and I turn and this guy's looking right
- 3:26Speaker 1: at me, locked.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Eyes eyes, and he goes because, yeah.
- 3:31Speaker 1: My wife loves your videos. So now everyone on the
- 3:35Speaker 1: platform turns looks right at me.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Maybe he's got an only fan.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Who is this guy?
- 3:41Speaker 2: I'm this guy?
- 3:42Speaker 1: I'm No one else knows who I am except this
- 3:45Speaker 1: one man who he doesn't even know who I am?
- 3:47Speaker 2: So how did he notice shout you out?
- 3:49Speaker 1: He must have seen something, but he was like my wife,
- 3:53Speaker 1: not even me.
- 3:55Speaker 3: I could give a shit about you, but my fucking
- 3:57Speaker 3: wife never shuts up about you.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Everyone's stereop. I'm red, I'm in like jeans, T shirt,
- 4:03Speaker 1: hat like, I'm not really dressed. I don't look I'm
- 4:05Speaker 1: not in the Michael foot drag. I'm not in a suit.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I don't actually look like what do you mean like
- 4:10Speaker 1: the way that people would recognize me?
- 4:12Speaker 3: Wait, do you mean to tell me that you fancy
- 4:18Speaker 3: yourself to be this unrecognizable pird?
- 4:22Speaker 1: No one would ever catch it, no one would ever
- 4:24Speaker 1: clock it.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Totally random thing about being recognizable. I remember so before
- 4:28Speaker 3: I had weight loss surgerios, I was looking at a
- 4:31Speaker 3: picture and had showed it to a friend of mine
- 4:33Speaker 3: who didn't know me before, and she was like, you
- 4:35Speaker 3: don't even look like yourself. And I reject that so much,
- 4:39Speaker 3: like this idea that I am a completely different.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Person you look not that, not that you don't. It
- 4:47Speaker 1: looks like a different version of yourself.
- 4:49Speaker 2: But not like who's that person?
- 4:50Speaker 1: Honestly. The thing that's like more alarming when I see
- 4:53Speaker 1: those photos your hair is it's like different. Yes, it's colored,
- 4:57Speaker 1: it's straightened, or it's treated. It's treated, it's treated. I
- 5:01Speaker 1: don't know that I'm a bald ass bitch. I don't
- 5:03Speaker 1: know what the term. And so I'm sorry, I'm all
- 5:05Speaker 1: blow it out, Yeah, blow it out. Okay, wait, so
- 5:08Speaker 1: back to you.
- 5:09Speaker 2: I'm sorry. This is not about me.
- 5:10Speaker 3: So do you really do you think that people think
- 5:13Speaker 3: that you look very different in person than I just not.
- 5:17Speaker 1: It doesn't so when if I'm at the courthouse and
- 5:20Speaker 1: the juries are getting out, multiple people, oh my god,
- 5:23Speaker 1: I love your videos, Michael. Yeah, people recognize me there
- 5:26Speaker 1: because I'm like in the context where if someone sees
- 5:28Speaker 1: my video then I'm like within the context, okay, but
- 5:31Speaker 1: here I really was like I think I was like
- 5:33Speaker 1: kind of hung over from that out of bawle. I'm
- 5:36Speaker 1: in my gym and like jeans and t like I'm waiting.
- 5:38Speaker 1: I'm on an Amtrak platform. I don't know. For some reason,
- 5:40Speaker 1: I just didn't think I wasn't ready for it. So
- 5:43Speaker 1: then he says, can I take your photo? I said sure,
- 5:47Speaker 1: so I go. I go to lean in for a
- 5:48Speaker 1: selfie and he just takes a photo of me standing
- 5:50Speaker 1: there with.
- 5:51Speaker 4: My dogs so close you're leaning.
- 5:55Speaker 5: In likes like, hey high.
- 6:01Speaker 1: But I think I really made I hopefully made her day.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Maybe you are You are the spouse of the man
- 6:09Speaker 3: I saw Michael on the Amtrak platform.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Could you please reach out to him?
- 6:14Speaker 1: She was, he was. Everyone was very nice in the situation.
- 6:17Speaker 1: I'm so alarming.
- 6:18Speaker 2: No no, no, no, but but reach out to him. It'll
- 6:20Speaker 2: make him feel better.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Everyone on the Amtrak was like staring the whole time.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Well, they want to know what kind of videos that
- 6:26Speaker 2: you're making? Yeah, did you see that?
- 6:28Speaker 3: I just just saw this that the CEO of Only
- 6:32Speaker 3: Fans bought it?
- 6:34Speaker 2: What he died? He bought it?
- 6:38Speaker 3: Oh he died? He Okay, he's no longer with us.
- 6:42Speaker 3: I don't know what happened, like.
- 6:43Speaker 1: An autoerotic asphyxiation, thing.
- 6:45Speaker 2: I don't know. Let's google it and find Yeah, let's go.
- 6:48Speaker 1: We're gonna get c J.
- 6:49Speaker 6: C J.
- 6:50Speaker 1: If you could just search only fans on your work
- 6:52Speaker 1: computer and let us know what comes up.
- 6:55Speaker 2: We promised nothing will happen.
- 6:56Speaker 1: I'll give you my credit card. Just what comes up,
- 7:00Speaker 1: We'll give you Karen Kilgriff's credit card, and you let
- 7:03Speaker 1: us know. One comes up, and we're free.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Curious, We're just curious, curious.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:07Speaker 2: I used to have an esthetician who had an OnlyFans page.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Really was it like poor, like like zip popping?
- 7:14Speaker 2: Oh no, she was.
- 7:15Speaker 3: She was my waxing and stuff. Oh her only No, sorry.
- 7:20Speaker 1: I thought that she was putting on for waxing people.
- 7:23Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, it was her. She had said
- 7:25Speaker 3: to me, She's like, guess what, I have an only
- 7:27Speaker 3: fans page.
- 7:27Speaker 2: I was like, you do? And I was so deeply curious. No, no, no,
- 7:34Speaker 2: it wasn't.
- 7:34Speaker 3: It wasn't it was but I never signed up for it,
- 7:38Speaker 3: but I really wanted to.
- 7:40Speaker 2: But I felt like.
- 7:41Speaker 3: If I would be, it would be like a breach
- 7:43Speaker 3: of some kind. I mean, if she's telling you about it,
- 7:45Speaker 3: I feel And I asked, I'm like, what do you
- 7:47Speaker 3: do on it, and she was just like she said
- 7:49Speaker 3: to me, but she couldn't believe were the things that,
- 7:53Speaker 3: in her case, it was men paying her to do whatever,
- 7:56Speaker 3: that the things that men would pay for. Somebody gave
- 7:58Speaker 3: her five hundred dollars for her to sit there in
- 8:01Speaker 3: her bra and underwear eating soup. And I was like,
- 8:04Speaker 3: that's it.
- 8:04Speaker 2: And she was like, that's it.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Oh honey, I'm doing that for free? What I'm doing
- 8:08Speaker 1: that on live right?
- 8:09Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 8:09Speaker 2: I know.
- 8:11Speaker 1: I gotta start ticketing these events. This is unbelievable to.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Eat soup underwear on her bed.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite super I love soup.
- 8:19Speaker 2: I could eat soup everything.
- 8:20Speaker 1: I could eat soup. Oh my god.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Right now, my favorite soup is wipe being and es girl.
- 8:25Speaker 2: I love it. Beautiful, so good.
- 8:27Speaker 1: And any of those greens, they're all in season right now.
- 8:30Speaker 1: It's like late winter. This is the best time to
- 8:33Speaker 1: be doing all under soup.
- 8:35Speaker 2: So it's a problem.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Really he is.
- 8:38Speaker 3: He's a particular eater. He likes what he likes, okay,
- 8:40Speaker 3: and he doesn't love soup. He does like, bisk make
- 8:45Speaker 3: me a lobster bisk okay, big yeah, yeah, yeah, My
- 8:48Speaker 3: bougie ass.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Man bride can make. Bride can make corn chowder, and
- 8:52Speaker 1: his grandfather taught him how to make it.
- 8:54Speaker 2: I love corn chowder. It's really it's so good.
- 8:56Speaker 1: It's very good.
- 8:57Speaker 2: The problem for me, there's a lot of dairy.
- 9:00Speaker 1: I don't need three gallons of corn chowder and a
- 9:02Speaker 1: household of two people. Nope, because now I'm eating corn
- 9:06Speaker 1: chowder for two weeks straight.
- 9:07Speaker 2: No, and now you hate it?
- 9:08Speaker 1: And that is so can we make a ration, like,
- 9:12Speaker 1: let's ration the corn chowder?
- 9:14Speaker 2: Why did you just have the recipe?
- 9:15Speaker 1: I'm not it. I can't. I can't give input in
- 9:18Speaker 1: the kitchen if he's cooking, okay, I don't have standing
- 9:21Speaker 1: to litigate. Why not in that courtroom? We we have
- 9:25Speaker 1: a division of powers in the house like it is
- 9:27Speaker 1: by Cameralism. There is the house, there is, and never
- 9:33Speaker 1: the twain shall meet. I can't be given him because
- 9:36Speaker 1: then he'll be in here trying to tell me how
- 9:37Speaker 1: to slice a shallotte, and that is I'm holding I'm
- 9:39Speaker 1: already holding a knife. Let's not Yeah, let's duck by mandolin. Yeah,
- 9:47Speaker 1: let's do a sidebar. I know we wanted to revisit
- 9:50Speaker 1: transracialism because we really just dropped that in the common section,
- 9:53Speaker 1: like it was hot and I knew nothing about it,
- 9:57Speaker 1: and you found out live here on the scene. I
- 10:00Speaker 1: knew about transracialism.
- 10:01Speaker 3: Was nothing zero. Admittedly, I also know very little about it.
- 10:05Speaker 3: I just sort of fell into it and was just like,
- 10:07Speaker 3: what is this?
- 10:07Speaker 1: But that's the point of the algorithm, right, It just
- 10:10Speaker 1: it just drops you into that burke and.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Then before you know what, you're in a next rabbit hole.
- 10:15Speaker 1: I'm texting the lady at the Birken store and I
- 10:17Speaker 1: don't even want one. Okay, tell me about transracialism.
- 10:21Speaker 2: Okay.
- 10:22Speaker 3: So I got a text message from someone that I know.
- 10:25Speaker 3: They have asked that I keep their privacy, so I
- 10:28Speaker 3: will do that, And this is what they said to me. Hi, Melissa,
- 10:32Speaker 3: I listened to your most recent episode and was interested
- 10:35Speaker 3: by your and Michael conversation on transracialism and being transgender.
- 10:40Speaker 2: I wanted to give you my thoughts on it. First.
- 10:42Speaker 3: I'll start by saying that I am speaking from a
- 10:44Speaker 3: biased perspective on the matter, but I do think there
- 10:47Speaker 3: is an important difference between the two. Both gender and
- 10:50Speaker 3: race are essentially made up social constructs that don't even
- 10:53Speaker 3: have the same different definitions from culture to culture and
- 10:57Speaker 3: even from person to person. But to me, what makes
- 11:01Speaker 3: being trans different than being transracial is in the actions
- 11:05Speaker 3: and decisions in the people and the two communities are making. Okay,
- 11:09Speaker 3: when someone like Rachel Dozeal decides to become a black
- 11:13Speaker 3: woman and takes up a position as president of the
- 11:16Speaker 3: Spoken and the blaci P chapter, that comes at the
- 11:20Speaker 3: expense of a community that she does not belong to.
- 11:23Speaker 3: On the other hand, the transgender community is not doing
- 11:27Speaker 3: things like that. We are not speaking on behalf of
- 11:30Speaker 3: CIS women or CIS men, And I've personally never heard
- 11:33Speaker 3: of a trans person who argues that they are trans people.
- 11:36Speaker 3: For the most sparks speak only on behalf of other
- 11:39Speaker 3: trans people. This is where I see the difference. But
- 11:42Speaker 3: I always have more to learn, and perhaps there's a
- 11:45Speaker 3: perspective that I have overlooked. Even if you don't read
- 11:48Speaker 3: this at all, I wanted to share my thoughts. I
- 11:50Speaker 3: absolutely read this, and to the person when they know
- 11:54Speaker 3: who they are, I adore you completely and thank you
- 11:58Speaker 3: so much for listen, Thank you so much for participating.
- 12:02Speaker 3: And our plan is we really have to really get
- 12:06Speaker 3: into this. We're looking for some experts. If anybody out
- 12:09Speaker 3: there knows anyone by all means, please shoot us an email, because,
- 12:15Speaker 3: like Michael said, this sort of came into my algorithm randomly.
- 12:19Speaker 2: I fell into like a rabbit hole over it.
- 12:22Speaker 3: But I am no expert, and I think that it's
- 12:25Speaker 3: a it could be a really interesting conversation for us
- 12:28Speaker 3: to have.
- 12:28Speaker 1: I think so. And I think I think that's interesting
- 12:31Speaker 1: because it's about behavior, right, It's not about it's almost
- 12:35Speaker 1: not about identity. It's what you do with that identity. Right,
- 12:38Speaker 1: So this person was making the comparison between like trans
- 12:42Speaker 1: people are just transliving thriving, and then some transracial people
- 12:47Speaker 1: like Rachel Doll's dole as all are then usurping areas
- 12:52Speaker 1: that of.
- 12:53Speaker 2: The think that's a huge that's the big people of.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Color communities, right. Interesting Okay, because it's.
- 12:58Speaker 3: Not just that she decided Richard does al decided to
- 13:02Speaker 3: live her life as a black woman, but she went
- 13:05Speaker 3: into what has has been a historically black space and
- 13:09Speaker 3: was like I'm the expert and took a spot, yeah,
- 13:12Speaker 3: and took a spot that did not belong to her.
- 13:14Speaker 1: And also I think was like speaking on behalf of
- 13:17Speaker 1: right because she was like.
- 13:18Speaker 2: It's me right, she was speaking I told you like.
- 13:21Speaker 3: The thing about her hair transition really really bothered me
- 13:25Speaker 3: because of somebody who went through it.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Sure, I was just like, how dare you? How dare you?
- 13:32Speaker 1: This is your algorithm is showing this is what's going
- 13:34Speaker 1: on in our news feed, in our tiktoks, our instagram reels,
- 13:38Speaker 1: what is happening. So you were taking a break from
- 13:42Speaker 1: the newspeed, from the algorithm.
- 13:43Speaker 2: I was, are you back, I'm kind of back.
- 13:48Speaker 1: The little beat a little bit.
- 13:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I am back.
- 13:53Speaker 3: It's hard, you know, it's one of those things where
- 13:56Speaker 3: you take a break to sort of preserve your sanity,
- 14:01Speaker 3: and the news is always it always feels so everything
- 14:05Speaker 3: just feels so dire, right, So you take a break,
- 14:08Speaker 3: But then you're walking around into the world and you
- 14:11Speaker 3: don't know what's going on.
- 14:12Speaker 2: And I also don't love that feeling.
- 14:15Speaker 3: Not that I'm an expert in anything, but you know,
- 14:17Speaker 3: being relatively informed I think is important.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Well, last night I was getting into bed and something
- 14:24Speaker 1: within me said, you should.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Open Instagram right now, Something within me.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Something with me, the demon in me, said open Instagram.
- 14:31Speaker 2: And I did, and you did.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Brad's already passed out. The dogs talked away in his
- 14:36Speaker 1: bed and there I was, and I open it and
- 14:40Speaker 1: it says updated one minute ago. Okay, the Air Canada
- 14:46Speaker 1: and the stairs collision. So now I'm seeing it and
- 14:51Speaker 1: it's the worst thing that can happen to an influencer.
- 14:54Speaker 1: I'm seeing it and everyone's asleep, and I can't talk
- 14:57Speaker 1: to anyone about it.
- 14:58Speaker 2: So what did you do?
- 14:59Speaker 1: I went, Okay, but it was unbelievable. What I was like,
- 15:06Speaker 1: this is crazy. I need to talk to someone about this.
- 15:10Speaker 1: So I guess the plane was landing, yeah, and there
- 15:12Speaker 1: was already an emergency at LaGuardia, correct, and so they
- 15:16Speaker 1: shut it down. Yes, And so the stairs were headed
- 15:19Speaker 1: to some other emergency and the Air Canada plane hit
- 15:23Speaker 1: the stairs. Okay, both pilots.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Pilots died. I know. That's that's awful. I know awful.
- 15:29Speaker 2: I mean, and it's and it's obviously, you know, any.
- 15:32Speaker 3: Loss of life is terrible, right, but it's not just that.
- 15:36Speaker 3: It's also the repercussions of this accident. So I had
- 15:40Speaker 3: a colleague who's supposed to fly in from somewhere. Now
- 15:42Speaker 3: they're stuck where they are, and yeah, and they won't
- 15:45Speaker 3: be able to get back in until tomorrow. And I
- 15:47Speaker 3: mean and it's it's I think it also shows us
- 15:52Speaker 3: how fragile our infrastructure is for everything.
- 15:55Speaker 1: And how reliable it is upon the federal government, right,
- 15:58Speaker 1: Like exact planes at LaGuardia, Yeah, and their success at
- 16:02Speaker 1: landing are directly connected to whether or not the federal
- 16:07Speaker 1: government has funding, right, Like, we can't just sort of
- 16:11Speaker 1: like break these pieces.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Apart now you can't.
- 16:13Speaker 1: They're at an airport is directly due to the funding
- 16:18Speaker 1: bill being right paused. So I thought that was interesting.
- 16:21Speaker 1: I mean TSA and ICE agents today. Today's we record
- 16:24Speaker 1: on Monday. So I've already made a couple of videos
- 16:26Speaker 1: today if you want to check them out online about
- 16:28Speaker 1: what's going on in airports. I've been reposting this is
- 16:31Speaker 1: very much breaking news. But TSA agents are not getting paid.
- 16:37Speaker 1: Some of them are still at airports in America. But
- 16:39Speaker 1: ICE agents are now going to be in American airports
- 16:43Speaker 1: as of today Monday right now.
- 16:45Speaker 2: Is the idea behind that to take the place of
- 16:48Speaker 2: the TSA agents that are not there, or is it
- 16:50Speaker 2: some other role that they're no going on?
- 16:53Speaker 1: Fucking knows what they're supposed to be doing and what
- 16:56Speaker 1: they're doing there because they're supposed to I guess this
- 16:59Speaker 1: is be stop gap for staffing. I don't even think
- 17:03Speaker 1: the president could say why he has ICE agents in airports.
- 17:08Speaker 1: They're supposed to be serving as TSA agents, but literally
- 17:11Speaker 1: it's the first day they're there, and we're already seeing
- 17:14Speaker 1: them arresting migrants in airports as he masked. Some are masks,
- 17:18Speaker 1: a lot of them are not. And so there's videos
- 17:21Speaker 1: of them running away from photographers at the airport because
- 17:26Speaker 1: they don't want to be photographed. Gee, it's almost like
- 17:29Speaker 1: you're doing something they're not supposed to do that you
- 17:32Speaker 1: have to run away from a photographer. If you're running
- 17:34Speaker 1: away from a photographer, maybe you're not doing the wrong
- 17:38Speaker 1: doing the wrong thing.
- 17:39Speaker 2: You're doing the wrong thing.
- 17:40Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and you know, couldn't happen to better people
- 17:44Speaker 3: as far as I'm concerned.
- 17:45Speaker 1: And the thing is is that I made a video
- 17:47Speaker 1: and about this is what if you're anyone other than
- 17:51Speaker 1: a US citizen, don't travel at least for a week
- 17:54Speaker 1: or two, see what happens. Let's just like we already
- 17:57Speaker 1: know every time these people in air quotes, people are
- 18:02Speaker 1: deployed to a city, that they do something they're not
- 18:07Speaker 1: supposed to do. Right, we already know. They don't care
- 18:09Speaker 1: about the Constitution. They don't care about the Fourth Amendment,
- 18:11Speaker 1: they don't care about anyway. They don't care about your
- 18:14Speaker 1: First Amendment right. They can and will detain you if
- 18:19Speaker 1: you are just a person of color. They don't care.
- 18:23Speaker 1: So everyone freaked out when I made that video, and
- 18:25Speaker 1: they were like, well, what about my trip? And I'm
- 18:27Speaker 1: on a contract and I'm supposed to go on a
- 18:29Speaker 1: cruise and my sister's cousin has to is on a
- 18:33Speaker 1: has to travel for work. I meant what I said, hmm,
- 18:37Speaker 1: do not travel. I will, and I said it. I
- 18:40Speaker 1: will always be the most careful of the opinions of
- 18:44Speaker 1: the voices in this space. My job is to keep
- 18:47Speaker 1: you out of removal proceedings. Once we're there, it's a
- 18:50Speaker 1: lot harder for me to help you. Right. There are
- 18:53Speaker 1: plenty of things I can do in immigration court and
- 18:55Speaker 1: help you in a removal proceeding, but let's not let
- 18:58Speaker 1: it get there. Canceled the trip.
- 19:00Speaker 6: Right.
- 19:01Speaker 1: There's a difference between like being taking a precaution and
- 19:06Speaker 1: being safe and having to like claw back and like
- 19:10Speaker 1: figure out, let's avoid an emergency situation if possible, no
- 19:14Speaker 1: matter how convenient so that is still what I suggest
- 19:17Speaker 1: people do, despite the overwhelming number of people who reached
- 19:21Speaker 1: out asking me about their specific situation.
- 19:24Speaker 2: Are you sure I am.
- 19:25Speaker 1: I'm gonna me, I'm gonna I'm gonna double down. I'm
- 19:28Speaker 1: gonna tend toes down on this one and say, wait
- 19:30Speaker 1: two weeks and see what they're doing. It's day one
- 19:34Speaker 1: and I'm already watching a woman being tackled in Oakland,
- 19:37Speaker 1: so let's like take let's wait, let's wait. I want
- 19:40Speaker 1: to keep you safe. Sure, that is like where I'm
- 19:42Speaker 1: coming from here. So that was the one thing that
- 19:46Speaker 1: was really all over my feed today. Yeah, Pam BONDI
- 19:50Speaker 1: though subpoena, good subpoena, good by Robert Garcia and good
- 19:55Speaker 1: She's like, I'm not doing it, which means eventually, if
- 19:59Speaker 1: you avoid subpoena, is enough a warrant for your.
- 20:03Speaker 3: You get arrested. So you know what, don't go, Pam,
- 20:05Speaker 3: don't go. I would love to see that photo. Now,
- 20:09Speaker 3: wait to see this woman with no extensions, no filler
- 20:12Speaker 3: in an orange jumps out.
- 20:13Speaker 1: I've got a spot for you on my lock screen
- 20:15Speaker 1: when you're ready, when we get that photo, I would
- 20:19Speaker 1: love for that.
- 20:20Speaker 2: You're going to take Jack off your screen for Pam.
- 20:23Speaker 1: For Pam Bondy getting purp walked into. Absolutely, I would
- 20:27Speaker 1: take anyone. No one in my life is more important
- 20:29Speaker 1: than that visual. My husband will tell you, he'll agree.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Speaking of spouses, have you followed the Secret Lives of
- 20:41Speaker 1: Mormon Lives Trauma this weekend?
- 20:43Speaker 2: Oh it's not the chick who the bachelorette?
- 20:46Speaker 1: Yeah? Throwing stools and taking names. So we've got what's
- 20:50Speaker 1: her name, Taylor Frankie Green.
- 20:52Speaker 3: So these are not things that I watch right Like,
- 20:55Speaker 3: I'm I'm not a bachelorette person. I'm not a Secret
- 20:59Speaker 3: Housewives or anybody person, the secret house.
- 21:02Speaker 2: Of whatever it is. I this is just don't tell anyone.
- 21:06Speaker 1: I'm a stay at homest.
- 21:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think are not things that I'm interested in.
- 21:10Speaker 3: But again, if you're on social media, it came across
- 21:13Speaker 3: and I did. When I saw her throw in the stool,
- 21:15Speaker 3: I went back to look at this little thing, like,
- 21:18Speaker 3: what is happening here?
- 21:19Speaker 2: You know what I wonder?
- 21:21Speaker 3: I I wonder because think about this is a huge franchise.
- 21:26Speaker 3: It makes a ton of money, yes, and I wonder
- 21:31Speaker 3: who's going to lose their job over this?
- 21:33Speaker 2: Because the person was not vetted.
- 21:35Speaker 1: We found out it was Taylor Frankie Green because they
- 21:38Speaker 1: canceled The.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Bachelor, Right, but do you know what I'm saying?
- 21:40Speaker 3: Like they you know, like I always wonder about that,
- 21:44Speaker 3: like what what is the vetting process?
- 21:46Speaker 2: What are the questions that are asked or not asked?
- 21:49Speaker 1: No one is Yeah, yeah, well because no one's more
- 21:52Speaker 1: dangerous than a white woman on reality TV, Like that
- 21:55Speaker 1: is going to be the most treacherous person you're.
- 21:59Speaker 2: Going to meet, unless it's a white woman at your
- 22:01Speaker 2: job who's crying. Go ahead.
- 22:05Speaker 1: That it's really real, you feel do you You seemed
- 22:09Speaker 1: like you had more to say on that something. No,
- 22:11Speaker 1: that's all white women. I kyk, You've told me a
- 22:15Speaker 1: bit about these situations. Yeah, white women cry at work
- 22:20Speaker 1: and say that black women were being mean to them, or.
- 22:24Speaker 3: They just cry like there's nothing like I mean, I've
- 22:27Speaker 3: had people crying my well, yeah, I've had people crying
- 22:30Speaker 3: my office. But they're crying in my office. But it
- 22:33Speaker 3: was me, Yeah, it was Michael. Michael was crying in
- 22:37Speaker 3: my office because he put what did you do?
- 22:40Speaker 1: I got a migraine? I had a really bad migraine.
- 22:43Speaker 2: But what did you do?
- 22:44Speaker 1: So we went to Alyssa, that's what right, And she
- 22:48Speaker 1: I was like, Alyssa, what do I take for migraines?
- 22:50Speaker 1: Because she's a migraine girl all the time. And she
- 22:52Speaker 1: was like oh, and she opens up her purse and
- 22:57Speaker 1: she gave my four no four like Bob have now
- 23:00Speaker 1: polished tumble out along with like a couple of things
- 23:03Speaker 1: of like CBD right of like topical. And she's like,
- 23:06Speaker 1: so you put them here, here, here and here they
- 23:09Speaker 1: were highly mentilated.
- 23:10Speaker 3: Yes, it was peppermint oral or something, and Michael somehow
- 23:15Speaker 3: gets into his arm.
- 23:16Speaker 2: I put it on and then I rubbed my eyes.
- 23:20Speaker 4: And now he's crying in my office on the floor.
- 23:24Speaker 4: I'm looking at ling on the floor and I'm like,
- 23:26Speaker 4: what Michael says, help me? So this is what I did.
- 23:34Speaker 4: This is what I did, and I'm gonna sell you
- 23:36Speaker 4: how I knew what to do.
- 23:37Speaker 3: But I I bring over my garbage pails and I
- 23:41Speaker 3: open a bottle of water.
- 23:43Speaker 2: And now I'm waterboarding and I.

- 24:05Speaker 3: how do you know how to?
- 24:08Speaker 2: And everybody and my family knows this story.
- 24:10Speaker 3: When my brother was about five years old, my brother
- 24:13Speaker 3: crazy glued his eye shut.
- 24:15Speaker 1: No, this's a plot point on season two of The Pit.
- 24:18Speaker 1: This happened did episode one.
- 24:20Speaker 3: Yeah, my brother crazy glued his eye shut and my
- 24:25Speaker 3: mother my father was at work and my mother at
- 24:28Speaker 3: the time was in graduate school and she was doing
- 24:32Speaker 3: like her last thing and my and my brother comes
- 24:35Speaker 3: out and he's crying with one eye shut like this
- 24:40Speaker 3: bigger and then my mom looked at him and looked
- 24:44Speaker 3: at me, and she said to me, Melissa, fix you on.
- 24:49Speaker 3: So I had to take my brother. So my brother
- 24:52Speaker 3: was like five, so I must have been like sixteen
- 24:54Speaker 3: years old. Tay my brother into the bathroom, and I
- 24:58Speaker 3: probably scalded the shit out of him because now I've
- 25:01Speaker 3: got his eye under hot water and I'm putting vaciline
- 25:04Speaker 3: on it, and I took a paper clip.
- 25:08Speaker 2: To like pick off, but you know what, he's fine,
- 25:12Speaker 2: can see again? He could see again.
- 25:14Speaker 1: That's like full treo, is this is actually? Nurse Jackie like,
- 25:19Speaker 1: this is.
- 25:19Speaker 3: I remember I remember once just talking to a therapist,
- 25:24Speaker 3: but I wasn't talking about this because I was fine, right,
- 25:28Speaker 3: But he was like, Melissa, that sounds very traumatizing, and
- 25:32Speaker 3: I'm like, is it?
- 25:33Speaker 1: This is like, this is like your jury story from
- 25:36Speaker 1: last week. You were underreacting to life babe and your
- 25:38Speaker 1: jury story last week. You were like, yeah, so yeah, anyway,
- 25:42Speaker 1: the mob stuffed this guy in a trunk and dragged
- 25:44Speaker 1: him across.

- 26:01Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. What was what it was? For me?
- 26:03Speaker 3: What was boring was the process, right. It was lengthy,
- 26:07Speaker 3: and nobody was like, I object. It was none of that.
- 26:10Speaker 1: It was just like, oh, they were like and what
- 26:13Speaker 1: was he wearing? Any stuffed do in the trunk of

- 26:19Speaker 3: Anyway, that's how I knew how to save Michael's eyes.
- 26:21Speaker 3: So if you have an eye problem, I'm your girl.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Chief of Optalmology a brief Recess at iHeart Studios, Melissa Malbranches.
- 26:31Speaker 2: Anyway, Oh good, all.
- 26:32Speaker 1: Right, we'll be right back. Let's take a break. I
- 26:35Speaker 1: do now my eye itches. As you say, a welcome
- 26:41Speaker 1: back to Brief resays, this is under oath. We're going
- 26:43Speaker 1: to do a deep dive. We've got an incredible guest
- 26:47Speaker 1: on today's show. We have doctor Leslie Dobson. She's a
- 26:49Speaker 1: forensic clinical psychologist. She's worked with individuals and maximum security
- 26:54Speaker 1: suffering from severe mental illnesses. She does forensic evaluations, assesses
- 26:58Speaker 1: sexual abuse allegations, and focuses on the validity of post
- 27:01Speaker 1: injury emotional, cognitive, and behavioral functioning. Thank you for joining us,
- 27:06Speaker 1: doctor Dobson. I thought it would be great to have
- 27:09Speaker 1: you on the show today to talk a bit about
- 27:11Speaker 1: the Epstein files and what we've sort of seen happening
- 27:15Speaker 1: with the case in America. I know that you have
- 27:19Speaker 1: done a few of these interviews sort of talking about
- 27:22Speaker 1: is Epstein alive, what's happening with this autopsy? I would
- 27:27Speaker 1: love to just sort of get into it with you.
- 27:29Speaker 1: Melissa and I talk about this a lot, so this
- 27:32Speaker 1: is really an area of interest, especially as everyone is
- 27:36Speaker 1: learning more and more about these files as we sort
- 27:39Speaker 1: of dig into the actual documents.
- 27:41Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean my opinion would be now, I think
- 27:45Speaker 6: I would even testify to this that I opine to
- 27:48Speaker 6: the fact that he is still alive.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And I think what's so interesting, right, There
- 27:55Speaker 1: are a lot of people on the internet who are
- 27:57Speaker 1: saying that, but I think you're one of the few
- 28:00Speaker 1: people who is drawing upon what I know from cross
- 28:04Speaker 1: examining and examining doctors and forensic texts in court. You're
- 28:11Speaker 1: really relying heavily upon your expertise in your area of practice.
- 28:17Speaker 1: So I thought it would be cool if we could
- 28:19Speaker 1: sort of go through it a bit today and talk
- 28:22Speaker 1: about whether or not this report from his hanging ruled suicide,
- 28:31Speaker 1: what brings true to you where you see the holes
- 28:35Speaker 1: and errors in this case, I can.
- 28:38Speaker 6: Draw upon a little bit of his attempted suicide a
- 28:41Speaker 6: few months prior as well.
- 28:44Speaker 1: Okay, let's get into it.
- 28:47Speaker 6: We have to like take apart the trees, but we
- 28:50Speaker 6: have to see the forest for the trees at the
- 28:52Speaker 6: same time. And I think holding that duality is difficult
- 28:55Speaker 6: for people, and that's why there's so much controversy around
- 28:58Speaker 6: all this.
- 28:59Speaker 1: And that's oftentimes what we're doing in court, right in
- 29:01Speaker 1: a criminal trial, Yes, we get the expert in on
- 29:03Speaker 1: the really specific details. We're looking at the images, we're
- 29:07Speaker 1: looking at the autopsy report, but we also have to
- 29:10Speaker 1: look at the person. We have to look at the
- 29:12Speaker 1: corpus of the evidence, we have to look at the circumstances.
- 29:15Speaker 1: We can't just look at one specific detail, right, So
- 29:19Speaker 1: why don't we get started. Let's do this full trial style.
- 29:23Speaker 1: Let's credential you as an expert. Tell us about who
- 29:26Speaker 1: you are and your profession. Let's get right into it.
- 29:29Speaker 6: Oh okay, a little wa dere here. Yes, doctor Leslie
- 29:34Speaker 6: Dobson a real license psychologist, even though people on the
- 29:38Speaker 6: internet don't believe it.
- 29:40Speaker 1: No, I have a bable believe I'm a lawyer either, So.
- 29:44Speaker 2: It's fine, God forbid.
- 29:46Speaker 6: We have personalities into our jobs. I got a bachelor's
- 29:51Speaker 6: degree in psychology. I have two master's degrees, one arguably
- 29:55Speaker 6: regrettable in Freudian dream interpretation psycho analysis. But I got
- 30:00Speaker 6: to travel a lot to do it. Yeah, and then
- 30:03Speaker 6: I have a doctorate in forensic psychology and a fellowship
- 30:08Speaker 6: in high risk sexual offenders.
- 30:11Speaker 1: Okay, so you really are the expert in this space, then,
- 30:14Speaker 1: I mean, this is really someone who has studied and
- 30:17Speaker 1: is credentialed as an expert in this field.
- 30:20Speaker 6: Definitely. I've testified in over fifty trials. I've been deposed
- 30:25Speaker 6: well over sixty times at this point, and I both
- 30:29Speaker 6: criminally and civilly. But I worked for the government for
- 30:32Speaker 6: a long time, which gave me access to the nasty
- 30:35Speaker 6: fuckers of this world. And then when there was a
- 30:39Speaker 6: hit on my life, I decided to go into civil
- 30:41Speaker 6: litigation and get out.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Oh yeah, good for you. Yeah, to stay safe. It's
- 30:46Speaker 1: really hard to be a badass expert and also not
- 30:50Speaker 1: be alive.
- 30:51Speaker 6: So yeah, I can't carry my gun in there.
- 30:53Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. So looking at the Epstein files, looking at
- 31:00Speaker 1: the death of Epstein, the official ruling was suicide by hanging.
- 31:06Speaker 1: What is your first response to hearing.
- 31:09Speaker 6: That it doesn't make sense. The bone breaking does not
- 31:13Speaker 6: line up with typical hangings by suicide. The way that
- 31:19Speaker 6: it looked on his neck, how it was angled, is
- 31:22Speaker 6: not how it should have been. It should have been
- 31:25Speaker 6: angled upward, looking at the grid where he allegedly had
- 31:29Speaker 6: hung himself. I've responded to hangings, and in state hospital systems,
- 31:35Speaker 6: you don't take the person down. You do not immediately
- 31:38Speaker 6: try to save them because they may be trying to
- 31:40Speaker 6: kill you. It could be a trick. So you always
- 31:42Speaker 6: wait for a second person to arrive and before you
- 31:46Speaker 6: save their life. It's really fucked up, I know. But
- 31:48Speaker 6: your safety is more important than theirs.
- 31:50Speaker 1: Interesting, and so that's protocol.
- 31:52Speaker 6: Oh, it's protocol. You do not singularly break up a fight.
- 31:56Speaker 6: You do not singularly do anything that has potential risks
- 32:00Speaker 6: violence to you.
- 32:01Speaker 1: And you would say that that's kind of like an
- 32:02Speaker 1: industry standard that everyone is on the same page about that.
- 32:05Speaker 6: Yes, I mean that's the Department of State Hospital Training.
- 32:08Speaker 1: Okay, wow, Okay, that's incredible.
- 32:10Speaker 2: And so that's really interesting.
- 32:11Speaker 3: Actually, So if you are an employee at a prison
- 32:15Speaker 3: or something and you walk into a cell and you
- 32:18Speaker 3: see the person, as far as you can tell, the
- 32:20Speaker 3: person is still alive because there's movement, you are not
- 32:24Speaker 3: permitted to cut that person down. You have to wait
- 32:26Speaker 3: for your partner to come. So by the time that
- 32:28Speaker 3: person comes.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Right, that that person might actually be.
- 32:31Speaker 6: Dead, right, And you know if I break the glass
- 32:34Speaker 6: and I get the cut scissors and I pull my
- 32:36Speaker 6: alarm and the alarms are going off, and I go
- 32:38Speaker 6: in and cut him down. What if he wraps his
- 32:41Speaker 6: legs around my neck and breaks my neck? There's violence
- 32:44Speaker 6: every single day.
- 32:45Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, I could. That's right, it could be a trick. Wow,
- 32:48Speaker 1: that's amazing. I didn't really think of that.
- 32:50Speaker 6: But sad we have to live in the defensive way,
- 32:52Speaker 6: but they brutalize us as employees in the state hospital
- 32:55Speaker 6: system every single day.
- 32:57Speaker 1: Wow. Right, So in the SEO, what happened. The guard
- 33:02Speaker 1: did cut him down. The guard took him down.
- 33:04Speaker 6: Right, and it was high enough up that you would
- 33:08Speaker 6: have seen a line, right, it would have had an
- 33:11Speaker 6: upward trajectory. When you self asphyxiate, you're going to be
- 33:15Speaker 6: forward facing, and that's how it was described. And then
- 33:19Speaker 6: the rope would be up behind him or the teared
- 33:21Speaker 6: torn towel. Now, the first time he tried it, it
- 33:25Speaker 6: wasn't successful. I haven't seen pictures of the first time,
- 33:28Speaker 6: but it was a similar description. And then the second
- 33:31Speaker 6: time somebody would have come in, there would have been
- 33:33Speaker 6: two people coming in. Oddly, the cameras glitched the first
- 33:36Speaker 6: suicide attempt and the second. That's so strange, right, and
- 33:41Speaker 6: so you would cut the rope and then you would
- 33:44Speaker 6: immediately start CPR.
- 33:46Speaker 1: So what happened in this situation? Then with Jeffrey Epstein?
- 33:50Speaker 1: Did they do follow any of those protocols?
- 33:53Speaker 6: From what I read, they cut him down and he
- 33:55Speaker 6: had already died. I don't know if they I hadn't
- 33:58Speaker 6: read anything about CP And there was no alteration to
- 34:02Speaker 6: his rib cage or his muscles where you would, you know,
- 34:05Speaker 6: you could usually break some ribs, you mess stuff up,
- 34:08Speaker 6: you'd have some significant bruising with real CPR.
- 34:12Speaker 1: And before he allegedly committed suicide, there were issues with
- 34:17Speaker 1: his body that were not present in the autopsy report.
- 34:20Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, he had small testes.
- 34:25Speaker 2: I'm kidding.
- 34:25Speaker 6: The fake body had small testes.
- 34:28Speaker 2: Okay, So Michael, control yourself, she said, the fake body, right, So,
- 34:36Speaker 2: but do.
- 34:36Speaker 3: You think that because I'll tell you. When I had
- 34:41Speaker 3: heard that Epstein had died, had died by suicide, my
- 34:46Speaker 3: first inclination was he didn't die by suicide.
- 34:49Speaker 2: Somebody killed him.
- 34:50Speaker 3: That is that is that was as opposed to me
- 34:52Speaker 3: believing that he wasn't dead, that the whole thing was
- 34:55Speaker 3: a hoax. I was like, he didn't kill himself, somebody
- 34:58Speaker 3: killed him. So but you're telling us that your belief
- 35:02Speaker 3: is that he is not dead at all.
- 35:04Speaker 6: Yes, and not only from ripping apart the autopsy. Talking
- 35:09Speaker 6: to morticians, you know the yah one of the doctors
- 35:12Speaker 6: who's been doing this for fifty years and said, how
- 35:14Speaker 6: bizarre this is. Okay, that could lend to murder. Sure,
- 35:17Speaker 6: but now we're looking at this massive Epstein network and
- 35:21Speaker 6: international network, pulling in the KGB and Israel and Norwegian assets.
- 35:28Speaker 6: You don't think this guy had the power to know
- 35:31Speaker 6: he was going to go to jail and then get out.
- 35:34Speaker 6: I mean, the prison guard got five grand before they
- 35:36Speaker 6: even knew he was going there. His estate won the
- 35:39Speaker 6: eighty million dollars Powerball a week after he went into prison.
- 35:44Speaker 6: It's there's just too much information to say that he
- 35:47Speaker 6: didn't have his wherewithal did just get out of prison.
- 35:50Speaker 1: Melissa and I are looking at each other like this
- 35:52Speaker 1: is believable. Yeah.
- 35:54Speaker 3: You know I was saying this to Michael earlier. You know,
- 35:58Speaker 3: I listened to an interview that you gave recently. And
- 36:02Speaker 3: I think the thing about it is that we don't
- 36:06Speaker 3: want to believe that any of this is true.
- 36:10Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm saying, In the sense of, like,
- 36:13Speaker 2: you know, listening.
- 36:14Speaker 3: To this idea that Ebstein and his cronies they were
- 36:19Speaker 3: cannibalizing people, right, it's one of those things that you
- 36:22Speaker 3: want to believe is so far fetched that it couldn't
- 36:25Speaker 3: possibly be true. Same thing with this idea that you know,
- 36:30Speaker 3: he was so powerful that he knew all the right
- 36:34Speaker 3: people in all the right places to like smuggle him
- 36:37Speaker 3: out somehow, it sounds like something that is made up.
- 36:42Speaker 3: It sounds like something that you've seen on the big screen, right,
- 36:45Speaker 3: because we've seen movies where somebody's going to do like
- 36:48Speaker 3: a prison break and they fake their death, they cart
- 36:50Speaker 3: the body out in the coffin of someone else. You know,
- 36:53Speaker 3: we've seen those stories before. But this idea that this
- 36:57Speaker 3: is something similar ish happened here, it feels so unbelievable
- 37:05Speaker 3: that you want to believe that.
- 37:06Speaker 2: It's not true. Does that makes sense?
- 37:08Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 37:08Speaker 6: Well I do, And I think it's you know, it's
- 37:10Speaker 6: hyper normalization. I think the dump of the data was
- 37:13Speaker 6: purposeful and the amounts were purposeful. There are images that
- 37:18Speaker 6: have been taken offline that were there. So I think
- 37:21Speaker 6: they wanted to quickly shut everyone up and then bomb
- 37:25Speaker 6: Iran and hope it went away. And you know, I
- 37:29Speaker 6: do believe that we distract in politics, and it's true.
- 37:33Speaker 1: It's too convenient, right, I mean, every time we hear
- 37:36Speaker 1: about a dumper about images or a really damning email,
- 37:41Speaker 1: suddenly it's taken down off of the website and then.
- 37:44Speaker 3: There's some other calamity elsewhere that happens to sort of
- 37:47Speaker 3: you know, they're like they're trying to bait and switch us, right, like, oh,
- 37:50Speaker 3: look at this other shiny thing.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Yes, don't focus on this thing, right, It.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Makes too much sense often, right, And I think that
- 37:58Speaker 1: I know that recently they there have been some subpoenas
- 38:01Speaker 1: that have gone out for people to testify for guards
- 38:06Speaker 1: that were there the night of this alleged suicide. Can
- 38:09Speaker 1: you speak to that a little bit?
- 38:10Speaker 6: Correc so that the House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed at
- 38:13Speaker 6: least one of the guards who was there that night,
- 38:16Speaker 6: and in particular, she has received payments from the Epstein
- 38:20Speaker 6: estate in amounts of five thousand dollars.
- 38:22Speaker 2: That is not that much money done, like that is
- 38:25Speaker 2: not enough to cover up that.
- 38:27Speaker 3: It feels like that's not enough money for this person
- 38:31Speaker 3: to risk all of this, Right, five.
- 38:34Speaker 2: Thousand dollars you're dealing with really dangerous and you'll get
- 38:37Speaker 2: five thousand dollars right, Like, it just feels right.
- 38:39Speaker 6: So then what was the money for? How many? How
- 38:42Speaker 6: many times did she get it?
- 38:43Speaker 2: Right?
- 38:44Speaker 6: Are there multiple accounts? Do we know she's a good
- 38:47Speaker 6: person to question?
- 38:48Speaker 1: I five thousand dollars is usually at the amount that
- 38:52Speaker 1: doesn't flag too much attention in bank statements. Oftentimes in
- 38:56Speaker 1: cases I've dealt with, it's usually you want to like
- 39:00Speaker 1: people are keeping transfers on the smaller side because it
- 39:03Speaker 1: doesn't trigger any sort of IRS scrutiny.
- 39:08Speaker 2: I thought it was under ten thousand, yeah, like nine thousand, yeah,
- 39:13Speaker 2: on the lower scale, right, I.
- 39:15Speaker 6: Mean ten thousand is the limit to go to Mexico.
- 39:17Speaker 1: But now you're telling us how to do it, not
- 39:23Speaker 1: the how to guide.
- 39:25Speaker 3: So do we believe as far as this particular prison
- 39:29Speaker 3: guard that it was only a one time five thousand
- 39:32Speaker 3: dollars payment? And have they been able to explain why
- 39:35Speaker 3: did she get that five thousand dollars at all?
- 39:38Speaker 6: She hasn't spoken to it. She hasn't explained. They haven't explained,
- 39:42Speaker 6: but it's in his financial records that were exposed, and
- 39:46Speaker 6: Congress plans to ask about it, Okay, you know. And
- 39:49Speaker 6: then he also he also purchased two ambulances shortly before.
- 39:54Speaker 6: And then there's another prison guard who sent an email
- 39:57Speaker 6: that's in the files and the FBI referenced it. I
- 40:02Speaker 6: think he used four chan or discord to state that
- 40:05Speaker 6: they moved a body in at midnight, right when the
- 40:07Speaker 6: cameras got out.
- 40:08Speaker 1: I saw about that, yeah, and so okay, so we
- 40:12Speaker 1: have these little dribbling bits of evidence that are sort
- 40:16Speaker 1: of like dropping in here and there. What do you
- 40:18Speaker 1: think happened? Like, what is your hypothesis?
- 40:21Speaker 6: I would just assume he walked out with his friends
- 40:24Speaker 6: and they brought in another body. And that's why we
- 40:26Speaker 6: have three doctors who did the autopsy with varying information.
- 40:32Speaker 6: And now he's had plastic surgery, changed his face and
- 40:36Speaker 6: living in Russia.
- 40:39Speaker 3: I mean, I mean again, it just sounds like one
- 40:42Speaker 3: of those things that you don't want to believe is
- 40:44Speaker 3: true because it sounds like something that you would see.
- 40:46Speaker 1: In But then when you lay the evidence out, it
- 40:49Speaker 1: does make a little too much sense, right, I mean,
- 40:53Speaker 1: an extremely powerful person involved with other really powerful people,
- 40:57Speaker 1: who is now in a relatively low security prison situation.
- 41:03Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it does kind of make sense.
- 41:05Speaker 6: I mean, when Charlie Sheen came into La County Jail,
- 41:08Speaker 6: he was on a wonder one. It's fucking Charlie Sheen, Like,
- 41:11Speaker 6: we could not take our eyes off him. Right, You
- 41:13Speaker 6: don't leave someone like Jeffrey Epstein alone for a second.
- 41:17Speaker 6: You have a one to one eyes on you are.
- 41:21Speaker 6: You're writing on a little log all your fifteen minute
- 41:24Speaker 6: check ins. You know, you're documenting everything that wasn't happening.
- 41:28Speaker 6: That's completely unimaginable.
- 41:30Speaker 1: And he was technically classified as someone who was supposed
- 41:33Speaker 1: to be on suicide watch because.
- 41:35Speaker 6: He had just tried.
- 41:36Speaker 3: I was going to say, was he on suicide watch
- 41:38Speaker 3: before the previous attempt or once that attempt?
- 41:42Speaker 2: It was after that?
- 41:43Speaker 6: It was after that after that, Okay, months prior. You know,
- 41:47Speaker 6: we could say, you know, he had a little practice,
- 41:49Speaker 6: he got better at it and succeeded. But it doesn't.
- 41:52Speaker 6: It doesn't look like an actual suicide to the doctors
- 41:56Speaker 6: who for fifty years haven't been investigating hangings and dead.
- 41:59Speaker 1: By There's been a lot of talk in the Epstein
- 42:02Speaker 1: files about cannibalism and people eating people, and I know
- 42:08Speaker 1: that you've worked on cases that involve cannibalism in the past.
- 42:12Speaker 1: Could you talk a little bit about those cases and
- 42:15Speaker 1: sort of your experience and how that applies here.
- 42:18Speaker 6: Sure, I've had patients, all of they've all had mental illness,
- 42:23Speaker 6: severe mental illness, from schizophrenia arranging to if you want
- 42:27Speaker 6: to say psychopathy is a mental illness, we would call that.
- 42:31Speaker 6: We would say they had antisocial personality disorder and narcissistic
- 42:35Speaker 6: personality disorder, and then we would give them the psychopathy inventory.
- 42:38Speaker 6: They would rank high and then that's how it would
- 42:41Speaker 6: determine it, because it's not a diagnosis. But between both
- 42:45Speaker 6: of those individuals. I have come across many in the
- 42:48Speaker 6: state hospital system, in jails and prisons, and especially at
- 42:52Speaker 6: Coalinga State Hospital. That's where we hold the sexually violent
- 42:55Speaker 6: predators in California who have eaten people for avariety of reasons.
- 43:01Speaker 6: I mean, I think so there's kind of three categories
- 43:04Speaker 6: of cannibalism. It would be the survival you know, airplane crash,
- 43:08Speaker 6: we got to eat people to survive, the Yellow Jackets
- 43:14Speaker 6: right right, that should freak me out more than meeting
- 43:17Speaker 6: them in real life. But that, and then we have
- 43:21Speaker 6: the ritualistic, satanic, ritualistic, and.
- 43:25Speaker 1: We see that a lot in pop culture. We see
- 43:27Speaker 1: that on TV, we see that in movies, right right.
- 43:31Speaker 6: And then you know what is cannibalism is drinking blood?
- 43:34Speaker 6: Under that category, we don't really have the ca real
- 43:36Speaker 6: definition for what it is. Is it if you cook it,
- 43:39Speaker 6: does it? It doesn't count? But then you have the
- 43:43Speaker 6: more psychotic.
- 43:45Speaker 3: Yes answer, Yes, if you cook a person doesn't count.
- 43:49Speaker 2: Of course, why is that? I don't even understand why
- 43:52Speaker 2: that's a.
- 43:53Speaker 1: Question the lawyer I should have asked that just for
- 43:58Speaker 1: everyone watching, if yes accounts.
- 44:04Speaker 2: I am.
- 44:05Speaker 3: I'm like very stuck on this. I can't believe that
- 44:07Speaker 3: that's a question. Who asked that question? Get them in
- 44:10Speaker 3: the studio.
- 44:11Speaker 6: If they ask me these questions all the time.
- 44:13Speaker 1: You know what I cooked it, it don't count, you
- 44:20Speaker 1: know it?
- 44:20Speaker 3: Just again, it just sounds so wild, right that people
- 44:26Speaker 3: are asking questions like that.
- 44:28Speaker 1: It's easier to be like, y'all are crazy, discredit the
- 44:32Speaker 1: person giving you the information because the information.
- 44:34Speaker 2: Is so ridiculous.
- 44:36Speaker 1: But it's one of these things that, Like, I mean,
- 44:37Speaker 1: that's happened throughout history, right, We've always had people discrediting
- 44:42Speaker 1: and saying that you're crazy for saying that, and then
- 44:44Speaker 1: fifty years later everyone's like, oh, yeah, no, they were
- 44:47Speaker 1: right right in prison Galileo.
- 44:50Speaker 6: And I fully grasped that there are targeted smear campaigns
- 44:53Speaker 6: and Hillary Clinton and Pizzagate. You know, nobody kind of
- 44:57Speaker 6: believed it, and maybe they used that, you know, as
- 45:00Speaker 6: a political attack. But there's also very real elite individuals
- 45:07Speaker 6: and satanic rituals that drink blood and kill children on
- 45:11Speaker 6: purpose and eat parts of their body that tax in America,
- 45:16Speaker 6: well largely in other countries. I mean, I didn't think
- 45:19Speaker 6: we'd hear about it so much in the Ebsteine files,
- 45:23Speaker 6: but the for thousands of years they've been doing this
- 45:27Speaker 6: in these rituals and these you know, private clubs. You
- 45:31Speaker 6: could say, I don't.
- 45:32Speaker 1: Know, this is too crazy, it is crazy.
- 45:37Speaker 2: But I just I'm wondering what is what is the purpose?
- 45:42Speaker 3: Right?
- 45:42Speaker 2: Like why why is this the thing? Right? You have
- 45:46Speaker 2: this very elite group of people, there's this club.
- 45:50Speaker 3: And you know, and I always wonder, like, where is
- 45:54Speaker 3: someone in life where they decide that that's the thing
- 45:58Speaker 3: that I'm going to do to get you to join
- 46:00Speaker 3: my club. And then the other person was like, yeah,
- 46:02Speaker 3: that's a good idea. I'm gonna I'm going to do that.
- 46:05Speaker 1: Whatever happened to annual dudes? You know, like whatever happened
- 46:08Speaker 1: to be? Whatever happened to typing?
- 46:11Speaker 3: Well but no, but seriously, I am curious, like what
- 46:14Speaker 3: is what is the purpose of I mean, I think,
- 46:20Speaker 3: let's say that I choose to accept this notion of
- 46:22Speaker 3: a ritual. Okay, I may disagree, but I accept that
- 46:26Speaker 3: that's what it is. But this idea of belonging to
- 46:30Speaker 3: a like this elite club or this elite group of people,
- 46:36Speaker 3: what is.
- 46:38Speaker 2: Based on what? You know?
- 46:39Speaker 3: What is the reasoning behind this? Why would somebody think
- 46:42Speaker 3: that that's what you need to do.
- 46:44Speaker 6: I think with the Epstein case, and it's this is
- 46:46Speaker 6: different than a lot of the cannibals that I've met.
- 46:51Speaker 6: But with the Epstein case, youth and life longevity were
- 46:55Speaker 6: a big thing. Right. He was trying to make the
- 46:56Speaker 6: perfect baby, you know, a Drena.
- 46:59Speaker 1: Crown, all this designer babies or.
- 47:01Speaker 6: The designer babies, right, But I think, so you've got
- 47:05Speaker 6: the longevity, But then I think you have to really
- 47:07Speaker 6: think about the spirituality and the ritualistic nature of people,
- 47:12Speaker 6: and that human sacrifice has been a thing throughout the
- 47:17Speaker 6: history of humans and when you reach that group or
- 47:23Speaker 6: that level in that sacrificial moment is going to bring
- 47:28Speaker 6: you to that next level of religiosity. In my mind, delusion,
- 47:33Speaker 6: But they believe it.
- 47:35Speaker 1: And so as you're sort of looking at the Epstein case,
- 47:39Speaker 1: at the everything that happened in the prison where he
- 47:44Speaker 1: was being held, and now this autopsy report, what really
- 47:47Speaker 1: stands out to you, is there anything else in that
- 47:49Speaker 1: autopsy report where you're like, this is totally something that
- 47:53Speaker 1: people need to be talking about that they're not picking
- 47:56Speaker 1: up on.
- 47:57Speaker 6: His prostate was there in the box, but in the
- 48:00Speaker 6: files they said his prostate was removed. They said his
- 48:05Speaker 6: urethrow was on one side of the tip of his
- 48:09Speaker 6: penis oddly placed, and his penis was egg shaped. That
- 48:12Speaker 6: wasn't noted in the autopsy of the body that they
- 48:15Speaker 6: determined was his. There are tattoos, and people argue saying
- 48:20Speaker 6: he had stick on fake tattoos. He did. He also
- 48:24Speaker 6: had real tattoos that weren't noted in the autopsy. And
- 48:28Speaker 6: then we have the more conspiracy not that we're already
- 48:31Speaker 6: in it, but of his nose changing, his eye shape,
- 48:36Speaker 6: changing his lips, his ears. I mean, people have gone
- 48:40Speaker 6: to town comparing his ear lobes. I don't know how
- 48:42Speaker 6: if your ears changed when you die.
- 48:44Speaker 1: But there's a photo of him after his death where
- 48:48Speaker 1: it almost looks like he's smirking. It looks like a
- 48:50Speaker 1: faked photo of him. In the cell.
- 48:53Speaker 6: There's a lot of AI. Yeah, there's definitely AI, like
- 48:57Speaker 6: you know. And then we've got Palm Beach Pete who's
- 49:00Speaker 6: getting a lot of attention lately, who looks just like him.
- 49:04Speaker 1: Yeah, there's this guy in Palm Beach who's been driving
- 49:06Speaker 1: around in a convertible and he looks exactly like Jeffrey
- 49:09Speaker 1: Impstein and everyone sees him and is freaking out. It
- 49:13Speaker 1: looks just like him.
- 49:16Speaker 2: Wow, our producers just showed it. Wow. Okay, Well.
- 49:21Speaker 6: He's using it to his benefit yeaheah Yeah.
- 49:25Speaker 1: So where do you see all this?
- 49:26Speaker 2: Heading?
- 49:26Speaker 1: Right? Like, we've got so many we have more questions
- 49:29Speaker 1: than answers when it comes to the files. Will there
- 49:32Speaker 1: be some sort of accountability in this case? Because it's
- 49:35Speaker 1: so clear this administration wants this shut down. They don't
- 49:38Speaker 1: want to talk about it. They want everyone to move on,
- 49:41Speaker 1: and every time they do that, everyone just starts looking
- 49:44Speaker 1: at it closer.
- 49:45Speaker 2: Right, give him more attention.
- 49:46Speaker 3: Yeah, And then I think also asking why in other
- 49:49Speaker 3: countries people are going to jail, they are losing their jobs,
- 49:53Speaker 3: you know, right, what's his name got unprinted or whatever
- 49:56Speaker 3: you call it.
- 49:56Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've removed him.
- 49:59Speaker 2: From right, So there are people who are.
- 50:04Speaker 3: Feeling the repercussions of just having known this man, whereas
- 50:08Speaker 3: in this country nothing, it feels like nothing is happening.
- 50:12Speaker 6: I think there's actually a lot more happening than people
- 50:15Speaker 6: know about. I mean, the UK is now demanding unreducted
- 50:19Speaker 6: files so that they can investigate inmate Andrew, So that
- 50:24Speaker 6: will move forward. Let's see if they get the files,
- 50:27Speaker 6: let's see if they get pushed back. But other countries
- 50:30Speaker 6: may need to help us out in that regard and
- 50:32Speaker 6: start trying to obtain the information themselves. But I think,
- 50:37Speaker 6: you know, and tell me if I'm wrong, because I'm
- 50:38Speaker 6: not the lawyer. But I think the key is building
- 50:41Speaker 6: a rico. You know. I think we've got to start
- 50:44Speaker 6: from the bottom up. We have doctors who have a
- 50:47Speaker 6: lot of information that are still practicing at in Ohio,
- 50:50Speaker 6: at UCLA, Princeton, Stanford. We have dentists, we have groundskeepers,
- 50:55Speaker 6: we have a chef.
- 50:57Speaker 1: Columbia University Medical Center. There as someone who was affiliated
- 51:01Speaker 1: with Epstein and the women that he abused, and she
- 51:05Speaker 1: was a doctor who would treat the women. Right. I
- 51:07Speaker 1: mean this has been a long standing, intricate network of professionals,
- 51:13Speaker 1: business people who were all a part of this network.
- 51:16Speaker 1: It's not just one person.
- 51:18Speaker 2: Right, It's not just him, and just like Glaine Gallain, yeah, right.
- 51:22Speaker 6: So if you I think it was I think it
- 51:25Speaker 6: was stupid to depose the Clintons.
- 51:27Speaker 1: Well, I don't think they intended to depose the Clintons.
- 51:30Speaker 1: I think they said, oh, we're going to depose them,
- 51:32Speaker 1: thinking that they were going to say no. And then
- 51:36Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton snapped off her press on nails and took
- 51:38Speaker 1: off her earrings and Chris hostomped, grabbed post stomped right
- 51:43Speaker 1: into fucking yeah.
- 51:44Speaker 2: And she dropped up Bill and was like listen, yeah,
- 51:47Speaker 2: she said.
- 51:47Speaker 1: Buckle up, Buttercup, Like, I don't think people thought that
- 51:50Speaker 1: they were going to testify.
- 51:52Speaker 2: Did you did you listen to it? I did?
- 51:54Speaker 1: End right after they agreed to testify. We've got a
- 51:57Speaker 1: clip of Trump being like, oh, you know, I always
- 51:59Speaker 1: liked respected Bill. I thought he was a nice It's.
- 52:03Speaker 2: Like right after he was like, you better, you better.
- 52:06Speaker 1: Testify, And then they asked him after Bill said yes,
- 52:09Speaker 1: he was like, you know, he's always been such a
- 52:10Speaker 1: nice guy to me.
- 52:11Speaker 2: He's a strong president.
- 52:14Speaker 6: I mean Hillary, Yeah, she showed that she was like
- 52:16Speaker 6: a rock star, telling them that they were all idiots
- 52:18Speaker 6: and how a lawyer. You know, you want to set
- 52:20Speaker 6: up a pattern, you want a corner, me, let me
- 52:22Speaker 6: help you out.
- 52:25Speaker 2: Right.
- 52:25Speaker 6: But then Bill, I mean utterly pointless until the moment
- 52:29Speaker 6: he saw the pictures. Yeah, and then the admiration for
- 52:33Speaker 6: those pictures told the world he's been on that island,
- 52:36Speaker 6: and he had some more guests.
- 52:39Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, really yeah, he was a little bit too
- 52:41Speaker 1: excited to do a walk down memory Lane. Well, and
- 52:44Speaker 1: the other thing was an island.
- 52:45Speaker 3: What I thought was super interesting about this because I
- 52:48Speaker 3: watched it was his attorney was sitting next to him
- 52:51Speaker 3: and at one point she grabbed the pictures enough.
- 52:54Speaker 2: No, no, no, But it was more like give this
- 52:58Speaker 2: to me, you know what I mean. It was it
- 53:00Speaker 2: was more like that. It was more like you stupid
- 53:03Speaker 2: it is.
- 53:04Speaker 1: You got to keep this form guys. You got to
- 53:05Speaker 1: keep these photos away from him too much.
- 53:09Speaker 3: I wonder with the work that you do, it's you know,
- 53:12Speaker 3: it's a very heavy emotional lift. How do you take
- 53:16Speaker 3: care of yourself? Because I feel like so. One of
- 53:19Speaker 3: the things I'll say is that I have, at one
- 53:23Speaker 3: point or another, started and stopped to look at the
- 53:25Speaker 3: Epstein files that I see online, and it is overwhelming.
- 53:30Speaker 3: It is overwhelming for me. And similarly, I was listening
- 53:35Speaker 3: to this interview that you gave and again I had
- 53:38Speaker 3: to stop. I picked it up again, but I had
- 53:40Speaker 3: to stop because it's overwhelming, and I just wonder you
- 53:43Speaker 3: are doing this work, this really hard, necessary work, because
- 53:48Speaker 3: somebody needs to tell us what's happening. Right.
- 53:52Speaker 2: How do you take care of yourself? How do you
- 53:55Speaker 2: have the appetite for this?
- 53:57Speaker 6: I eat a lot of beef jerky. No, I'm my
- 54:01Speaker 6: husband's a psychologist. I do pilates a lot. I love melates.
- 54:06Speaker 6: I think it's better than meditation. Having to hold yourself
- 54:08Speaker 6: in the air and not die is phenomenal to get
- 54:12Speaker 6: out of your head. But I've had great mentors, and
- 54:17Speaker 6: I've had great training and I've learned over time to
- 54:20Speaker 6: leave work where work should lay, and I have active cases.
- 54:25Speaker 6: Now I have two reports that are going to trial,
- 54:29Speaker 6: and I have to finish them this week, so I
- 54:31Speaker 6: have my own distractions, even though they're still dark. There's
- 54:34Speaker 6: still the rape cases. There are difficult cases.
- 54:38Speaker 2: But we win.
- 54:40Speaker 6: I win all the time. I win settlements for people.
- 54:44Speaker 6: I bring justice to victims. I close schools, I take
- 54:47Speaker 6: money from the Catholic Church, I close dioceses. I put
- 54:51Speaker 6: people behind bars, and every moment of that erases the
- 54:55Speaker 6: trauma I endured to get there, and every child I save.
- 54:58Speaker 6: I just did a Hey international case, a child abduction case.
- 55:04Speaker 6: So now I'm working all around the world, and ninety
- 55:06Speaker 6: nine percent of those cases fail. The kids get sent
- 55:09Speaker 6: back to the violent parent. We won. I got heard
- 55:15Speaker 6: well enough, I tested everyone psychologically well enough to explain,
- 55:20Speaker 6: and that to me, those winds make it worth it.
- 55:23Speaker 3: Sure, No, it's just you know, I just can't imagine it,
- 55:26Speaker 3: and I don't know. I feel like I want to
- 55:29Speaker 3: say thank you because it just feels like really really difficult, constantly,
- 55:34Speaker 3: like uphill work.
- 55:35Speaker 1: Yeah, do you get a lot of pushback on the
- 55:37Speaker 1: internet for your videos or from other experts, even because I.
- 55:41Speaker 6: Oh yeah nottimes, not from other experts. Independent journalists do
- 55:46Speaker 6: like to write hit pieces on me and like the
- 55:49Speaker 6: Wall Street Journal things like that. But other experts were
- 55:53Speaker 6: in line with how we view this, and we support
- 55:56Speaker 6: each other. But I get a lot of death threats
- 55:59Speaker 6: and those aren't from experts. Those are just from people.
- 56:02Speaker 6: So you know, I have a dog sent from Serbia
- 56:07Speaker 6: who speaks German, I conceal and carry, you know, I
- 56:11Speaker 6: have people that watch me. So yeah, I have to
- 56:15Speaker 6: take tractrations.
- 56:16Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, So in your opinion, as you're sort
- 56:19Speaker 1: of looking at the overall Epstein situation, and I just
- 56:23Speaker 1: want to ask, like, and you it sounds like you
- 56:26Speaker 1: have a lot of experience with these types of systematized
- 56:30Speaker 1: abduction of children. What are you seeing here in this
- 56:34Speaker 1: case right as an expert in this area of practice, Like,
- 56:39Speaker 1: what are you really seeing as you observe the Epstein
- 56:43Speaker 1: situation from the outside.
- 56:45Speaker 6: I'm seeing the world drastically trying to normalize the age
- 56:49Speaker 6: of consent, to minimize pedophilia and to minimize the severity
- 56:55Speaker 6: of child trafficking across the world. And you know, a
- 57:01Speaker 6: lot of people hate on Tim Tebow. I don't know
- 57:03Speaker 6: much about him, but his organization has done a phenomenal
- 57:07Speaker 6: job really pointing out trafficking and the dangers of it.
- 57:11Speaker 6: They put money behind it. The statistics are really solid.
- 57:15Speaker 6: You know, if you were to google it, you might
- 57:16Speaker 6: see one hundred thousand kids missing in America a year.
- 57:19Speaker 6: I'd say it's well over three hundred thousand. Where the
- 57:22Speaker 6: fuck are they all going? Yeah, you know I've had
- 57:25Speaker 6: people sell their children. I mean, that's how a Lot
- 57:27Speaker 6: got to Epstein was they sold their child for the day,
- 57:33Speaker 6: a lot with the hope of becoming someone becoming famous.
- 57:37Speaker 6: You know, white people went to the Playboy mansion and
- 57:39Speaker 6: then got trafficked. But a lot of parents, you know,
- 57:43Speaker 6: the most likely person to traffic a child is the
- 57:47Speaker 6: biological father. And trafficking doesn't mean gone for good. It
- 57:52Speaker 6: could just mean sell for an hour. Right, we have
- 57:55Speaker 6: to see what we also have to understand what this
- 57:58Speaker 6: term trafficking means. Right.
- 58:00Speaker 1: A lot of people think it's some sort of like.
- 58:03Speaker 2: The person has disappeared somehow, right, Yeah.
- 58:07Speaker 1: Which is sometimes the case.
- 58:08Speaker 6: Sure, and these girls had babies. We don't know where
- 58:11Speaker 6: the babies went, but a lot of the survivors who
- 58:14Speaker 6: still have not been interviewed by Pam Bondi or the
- 58:18Speaker 6: DOJ have a lot to say, and they all have
- 58:20Speaker 6: open investigations. And that's, you know, that's the movement we're
- 58:24Speaker 6: not seeing. That's movement we can't see because they are
- 58:28Speaker 6: actively going through these cases.
- 58:31Speaker 3: Two things I want to ask you, so have you
- 58:33Speaker 3: had an opportunity to speak to Epstein victims and to
- 58:36Speaker 3: hear what they say and to document what they say
- 58:39Speaker 3: many many okay? And what happens with that information? Are
- 58:44Speaker 3: you just holding on to it or is there a plan?
- 58:47Speaker 3: Because I think that's one of the things that I
- 58:49Speaker 3: think about quite a bit, and I've talked about this
- 58:52Speaker 3: with some friends, Like I feel like we're not hearing
- 58:56Speaker 3: enough from victims and is that because they want to
- 58:59Speaker 3: protect themselves or are they being stifled?
- 59:02Speaker 6: They're terrified of being sued for billions of dollars because
- 59:05Speaker 6: we're talking about billionaires coming together with billionaires, and also
- 59:10Speaker 6: they have open investigations going on, and so they can't
- 59:13Speaker 6: tamper with the investigations. So when I do talk to them,
- 59:16Speaker 6: I get limited information. Of course, it's not going to
- 59:19Speaker 6: harm any of their cases, but I text a lot
- 59:23Speaker 6: of congress and I've been able to get a lot
- 59:24Speaker 6: of their cell phone numbers, and I will just rage text.
- 59:31Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of people on the internet
- 59:32Speaker 1: would like to rage text cons.
- 59:34Speaker 2: Do you get responses from them at all? Is anybody
- 59:36Speaker 2: responding to you?
- 59:37Speaker 6: Oh? Yeah, definitely. I mean I think out here in California,
- 59:40Speaker 6: Robert Garcia has been incredible. I think Eric Swalwell has
- 59:44Speaker 6: been incredible with this. You know, Eric Swawall voted to
- 59:48Speaker 6: have the congressional what sexual harassment stuff exposed? When so
- 59:53Speaker 6: many people voted against that. Yeah, that was very strange
- 59:57Speaker 6: to me, Like a ton of women voted against congressional
- 1:00:01Speaker 6: sexual harassment allegations exposed.
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: I saw that. That was unbelievable. And then it was
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: like one of those things whereas the next day no
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: one was talking about it anymore.
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: Yeah, they made it exact way.
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: And this is sort of my sorry, my last question
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: for you. And I don't even know if you could
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: really answer this question, but a few minutes ago you
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: said something about how, you know, we're trying to sort
- 1:00:24Speaker 3: of normalize pedophilia and sort of have it sort of
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: become more acceptable. Why do you think that we are
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: this way, because when I think about it, immediately I
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: repulsed and I'm like, oh, that person belongs under the jail, Like,
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: get rid of this person forever. Why do you think
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: that there is this tendency to either go easy on
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: these people, because it seems like if there was something
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: we should all rally around is the protection of children, right,
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: people who are innocent? You know these are I mean
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: they're babies, they're kids. Why do you think that we
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: have such a hard time in throwing down the Gauntland
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: and saying absolutely not.
- 1:01:05Speaker 6: Because you can only sell drugs once, but you can
- 1:01:08Speaker 6: sell a child's body over and over again. So that's
- 1:01:11Speaker 6: in an email in the files.
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:01:14Speaker 6: So it's money.
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: It's money.
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: It's money.
- 1:01:16Speaker 6: It's not you and I. Right, we're not. I don't
- 1:01:18Speaker 6: know if you guys are billionaires. I'm not. But you
- 1:01:21Speaker 6: know I don't own giant corporations. I didn't start Victoria's Secret.
- 1:01:25Speaker 6: It's them, it's Les Wexner.
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, well, thank you for coming on the show.
- 1:01:30Speaker 6: On that note, Yeah, it was really lighthearted.
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: Thank you for coming on. Do you have anything you
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: want to plug, anything you want to promote. I know
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: you have a book, out you want to maybe.
- 1:01:40Speaker 6: Mention that, Oh it's kind of more like a pamphlet.
- 1:01:43Speaker 6: But I did write a small book on setting boundaries.
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: With your friends.
- 1:01:48Speaker 6: Maybe you should set boundaries with the Epstein files.
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: Yeah, anything you want to plug and where can we
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: find you on the internet.
- 1:01:54Speaker 6: And the book's called The Friend Cleanse if anyone really
- 1:01:57Speaker 6: does want to set boundaries with their with their friends,
- 1:02:00Speaker 6: toxic friends, but on Instagram and TikTok, if I'm not
- 1:02:04Speaker 6: violated because of ebscene. And then my website, it's good
- 1:02:08Speaker 6: to check my website. I'm going to be co producing
- 1:02:11Speaker 6: several television shows and hopefully getting my own show soon,
- 1:02:15Speaker 6: and so you know, just check back and see what's happening.
- 1:02:19Speaker 6: But also I encourage everyone to vote, and you can
- 1:02:21Speaker 6: go on my website and you can see where I
- 1:02:24Speaker 6: have a link to the Courage candidates and thother candidates
- 1:02:28Speaker 6: that are running for Congress who have a fucking background.
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: That's great. We love that.
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: We love that.
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: I would love to check that out. Thank you for
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: calling that to our attention. All right, well, thank you
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: so much for wonder.
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Really, this was really interesting. Nice
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: to meet you. Nice to meet you, Leslie thanks, take care.
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: That was I mean, and even me and I see
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: all this shit in court all the time, and I'm
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: still like, this is too much for me to hand.
- 1:02:55Speaker 6: You know.
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: It's one thing to sort of know that there are
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: bad people out there, right, but this is this is
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: beyond people.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: I think we always think of the villain as like
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: the guy with the sche mask holding the bag of
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: money with the dollar prints printed on. It's the burlap bat.
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: And this is like, oh no, it's actually like the
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: billionaires of America together in this network of like hedonistic heedophilic,
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: like and there's also covers. It's just like, not only
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: are you being asked to believe and I'm not saying
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: that I don't believe her, No, no, no, Not only
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: are you being asked to believe that people are so
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: disgusting and awful that they would do something like that.
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: Depravity is what institutionalized, and the institutions are compromised as
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: part of it, right, Like these systems are run so
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: deep that they're a part of that. The prison system
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: could be part of a cover up Like that is
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: just like so shocking and unbelievable, and people to really
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: digest that. So the Epstein file drop. I think that
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: was strategic, right, they released everything at once so the
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: public was overwhelmed, and then it would the news cycle.
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: They'd be constantly competing with the news cycle. Yeah, that
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: was crazy. I'm shook.
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: I actually don't. I don't quite know how to feel,
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: do you know what I mean? I'm like disturbed, but
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: also like again, and it's not that I don't believe her,
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: it's more like my mind is blown that these people
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: walk among us, right, that these are people. And I
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: had seen something somewhere where somebody was like, we should
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: be looking really hard at anybody who's a billionaire, because
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: if you are a billionaire, there's something that you did
- 1:04:41Speaker 3: that is not on the up and up, and that's
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: how you got that.
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: Now, I don't know if I believe that to.
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: Be true, but it would sort of correlate with what
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: you're saying, right, like, these are these it's the people
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: at the very very top who have all this money
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: and therefore have all this power and they're able to
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: get away with doing these types of things.
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: Right. It's like I think about this a lot in
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: like a legal context when it comes to a class
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: action lawsuit and I get a check in them out
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: for three dollars for something horrific that a company did,
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, this is just like a rounding
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: error in their budget. Like justice for them was like, uh,
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: was like a decimal point that they misplaced on a
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: spreadsheet somewhere. We imagined that billionaires in America got there
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: because they were smart and talented and not crazy. Right,
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: that's actually I think we're learning not true.
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: No, don't. I actually don't think that.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: I don't think that's true either. But I think for
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: a lot of people, they assume, oh, if you're a billionaire,
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: you're really wealthy and successful, it's because you were smart
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: enough to do it to get there. But I don't.
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: I think we're a sort of culture is realizing that
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: that is not at all the cases, not the case.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: That's actually a lot of billionaires can be crazy and
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: psychotic and not smart and actually really stupid. So I
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: think that's what we're sort of rubbing up against here.
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: This is tails from the dams. We're going to answer
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: all the KOOKI creat is the wild things you send
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: me in my DMS and Melissa DMS friends.
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: What I always say while Michael is a lawyer. He's
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: not your lawyer, so get your own ready. Okay, I'm
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: going to read this onecause I think is really funny.
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: So these are reviews that people left.
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: These are These are reviews, and if you.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: Want to leave a review for us on YouTube or
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts or Spotify, we will read some of your
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: reviews because.
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: You guys are really funny. You guys are really funny
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: and we appreciate it.
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: I'm ready.
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: So this is from the episode that we had with
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: Yanna from America's Next Top Model, and this is from Laurie.
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: Laurie says, sorry, I hate to be that bitch, but
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: it's barkeeper's friend, which I'm not sure one would use
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: on liquisite. It's for metal, which would scratch the enamel CODINGLA.
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: I think she says sorry to be that bitch. I
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: don't think she's sorry. I I'm that bitch too, So
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: I'm sisterhood Laurie.
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: But Laurie does redeem herself and says the following, I
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: love Michael and Melissa's friends in real life energy. They
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: brighten my Thursdays.
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: Thanks Laurie, I will.
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: And that is a good point though, because it wails scratch.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: I think there's metal in Barkeep's friend, and that's like
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: the exfolian that you're using to get up, so you
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: don't want.
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: To use that. Maybe I was also not calling it
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: by the right name.

- 1:08:00Speaker 1: reclip when we were talking doing a deep dive compeated rivalry.
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: This is from Jessica. Jessica just says one line. Scott
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: absolutely bottoms once in the show after Kip gives him.
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: The socks, which is that all it took.
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: He gave him socks and he immediately bottoms. But I
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: will say he doesn't bottom in the books. He does,
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: so he's not first in the books. So that's what
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: I was saying, that the Old Testament and the New
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: Testament are different.
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: Yeah, and it happens.

- 1:08:33Speaker 2: I mean, some people don't even get sucks.
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: That's true. A lot of people are bottoming for nothing.

- 1:10:07Speaker 1: vocal stem. That is, I I want to make a
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: ring tone, but I don't know how to do it
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: of the Diva ring tone, and then it's going to
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: go off in court.
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: Well, make sure it doesn't, Michael.
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: You know me, and you know I'm not going to
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: make sure. I'm gonna I'm gonna forget to do really
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: my zero went off during this show recording and when
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: I was out in LA. It's just a normal Apple one.
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: I feel like I could make it though, we could.
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: You could probably do that.
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: We'll get the head attack in here.

- 1:10:40Speaker 3: yours is just regular. Yours is the my ring tone
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: for everybody. For the gen pop is?
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: What's it for your mom?
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: A door bell? Oh she's here? Yeah? My brothers is.
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: There was this song a long time ago called your
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: little brother. Okay, so that for him?
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: All right?
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: Andres is it sounds like a computer, like a robot.
- 1:11:07Speaker 7: Yeah, because he's a robot. Yeah, he's speaking of Ai. No,
- 1:11:11Speaker 7: it's true, he is. Yeah, No, I get it. So
- 1:11:15Speaker 7: we talked about the needle squishies last week.
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: Did you get it?
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: So I went back to the store. Well, I saw
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: that sign and before I could even get inside, I
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: look down. There is a red dot laser pointed directly
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: at my chest. I'm not kidding, okay, And I look
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: up about six hundred meters away. There she is the
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: owner of the store, sniped me, huh. But on the door,
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: I'm this is serious. This Bard series now on the door.
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: There's a sign that says, if you want a nido,
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: don't come in here, get lost, get ben and it
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: said it said no more needles. And the FedEx delivery
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: that I kept. She kept telling me come back for
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: the FedEx delivery. It said missing. The FedEx delivery is missing.
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: So I think one of these little rascally youths stole
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: the needle package probably, and it's just wild in selling
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: in the trunk. Hey man, I got needles for you
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: don't have to.
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: Really do you want? I think that's what you are?
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: They all are? They all clear?
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: No, they're different colors. Because she had one sample one
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: and she held it up like the Hope diamond. You
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: know how they do about an auction. It was kind
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: of like that she had. She had art handlers. Yeah,
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: she's holding it up really, And so I sent the
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: photo to my niece, who cannot be satiated. There is
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: no there's no under. An eleven year old isn't going
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: to under. She's like, I don't care find it. She's
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: like get in there, Sue, Like what are you going
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: to do to get.
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: The handle it?
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: When Michael and bradw this look my favorite Metaline story
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: when Michael and Brad were getting married.
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: They were a little bit late, and I was talking
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: to Madeline.
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: And we relate to the ceremony.
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: Yeah, they were late to the ceremony, and it was.
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: There was a whole drama because I left Brad's suit
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: in the city and it was a destination wedding, so
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: he did not About thirty minutes before we've got two
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: undre people assembled, we realized we don't have his suit.
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: We have like jeans and a T shirt and I'm
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: dressed like this. So it really was like a rags
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: to riches story that we were getting. We put him
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: in a cab and sent him to like a nearby
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: suit store, right like local on Long Island, and I
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: called ahead of time and I spoke to the woman,
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: and this woman with such excitement she had been waiting
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: her whole life to receive the call an emergency gay wedding.
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: She was ready. She was seriously. I think there was
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: like a button on the desk that she hit and
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: like the wall behind her, oh yeah yeah, And like
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: there were of clothing and she's like what size, and
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: she had them hemmed and ready to go. By the
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: time he got there, it was ready and he was
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: at the ceremony two minutes late.
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: Right, But according to Madeline, I was like Madeleine, where
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: are they?
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: And she was like, I don't think they're coming.
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: She was like four or five years old, and.
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: She was going around telling people we weren't coming to
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: our own wedding.
- 1:14:24Speaker 3: They're not coming, but like, but like I need for
- 1:14:28Speaker 3: people to understand. Like she was this little bitty things
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: glasses and like so cute, but also like like she's
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: like I really think so, like standing steadfast in her conviction.
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: They were not coming to the wedding. I don't think
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: they're going to make And then I asked her to
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: spin and she did, Yeah, she's like, this is my party.
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: Actually, I was.
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: Like, it's been for me. She did, but they're not coming.
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: All right. So if someone messaged me directly on the
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: Internet asking me about I don't know that that's so weird,
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: like I was Grinder or something that wasn't it was
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: the Internet. I just want to keep them anonymous. They said, Hey, Diva,
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: I would like to remain anonymous. Thank you for keeping
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: think you for not sending me your social Security number
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: like some people. Do you have any information about EAD renewals.
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: So an EAD is an employment authorization document that immigrants
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: use so they can work. For TPS holders who are
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: from L Salvador, so TPS temporary Protected status. It's basically
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: like a ruling that USCIS Customs says, hey, if you're
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: from this country, you get sort of like temporary status.
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: We're not going to deport you right away. So this
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: person has TPS from L. Salvador and they have an
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: EAD renewal. The TPS is still valid until September, but
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: the eed expired March ninth, so they're trying to figure
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: out what to do when TPS is still ongoing but
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: the eed expired. So if that's the case, you can
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: reapply for a new EAD. But I do think you
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: might have mixed up this question because from my understanding,
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: TPS for El Salvador is still in effect until September
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: ninth this year, twenty twenty six. So if your EAD
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: has expired, you can apply for an EAD renewal now
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: because TPS is still technically in effect for El Salvador.
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: So that's the answer. So you're not shit out of
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: luck like you thought you were. That is actually something
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: that you can fix. And they wanted to say thank
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: you for what you and Melissa do. You're such a
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: breadth of fresh air trying times keep grooving.
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: Thank you. It's very sweet.
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: You're often grooving.
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: I do the best that I can.
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't groove too hard because then you've
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: got to go to the chiropractor. I know, all right.
