How QAnon Pulled Public Attention Off Jeffrey Epstein and Redirected It Into Fantasy · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. As I'm sitting here going through the news,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I come across this alternate article. And honestly, the longer
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I think about it, the more infuriating it becomes. Because
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: it's not lost on me, not even for a second,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: that the loudest warriors of the so-called Cabal Crusade, the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: same people who spent years beating their chests screaming about
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: kids being preyed upon, and claiming that they were the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: last line of defense against some shadowy global elite, have
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: suddenly gone dead silent now that Jeffrey Epstein is back
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: in the headlines and the truth is spilling out in
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: real time. And that silence is deafening. It's cowardly. And
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: it proves what I've been saying for years. A lot
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of these loudmouths never cared about survivors, never cared about
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the truth, never cared about justice. They cared about attention, clicks,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: manufactured outrage. and the adrenaline rush of pretending that they
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: were a part of some heroic underground mission. Because now
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: that the villains are being exposed for real, these same
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: self-appointed patriots are nowhere to be found. Their voices evaporated
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the second the truth stopped being a fantasy and started
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: being uncomfortable reality. And the wildest part is that the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Epstein case was the real deal all along. Not a LARP,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: not a comic book, not anonymous riddles on a message board,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: or some Morse code scavenger hunt. This was a real conspiracy,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: with real bodies, real victims, real institutions protecting a real
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: network of powerful predators. And what did those truth warriors
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: do with it? They hijacked it. They turned it into bait.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: They used Epstein like a marketing strategy to funnel people
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: into their most absurd hallucination ever constructed, QAnon. They took
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: an actual criminal enterprise, a real cabal operating in plain sight,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: And they smothered it in fantasy and numerology and Bible-coded
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: TikTok nonsense until the public couldn't tell where reality ended
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and the circus began. And now that the receipts are
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: finally hitting the table, now that the subpoenas are being dodged,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: now that names are being dragged into the light, suddenly
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: all that rage, all that conviction, and all that fake
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: soldier energy just disappears like smoke. Funny how that works, right?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Because if everything they claimed to stand for was genuine,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: if they truly cared about abused children and exposing corruption,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: then this should be their Super Bowl. This should be
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: their Iwo Jima. This should be the moment they set
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: themselves on fire demanding accountability. But instead, they're bending over
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: backwards to defend Ghislaine Maxwell? They're calling Epstein's network a hoax?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: They're rewriting their own history like we all have amnesia.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: They went from we're fighting the cabal to, well, maybe
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the cabal is misunderstood. Overnight. And the whiplash is so violent,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: it's practically a parody. All those tough guy slogans, all
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: those lock her up chants, all the macho freedom fighter cosplay.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: It melted the moment the truth got too close to home.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Because the second the mask slipped and the real players
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: were revealed, they didn't stand and fight. They ran. They hid.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: They changed the subject. And try and tell me it's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: an accident. Tell me it's just a coincidence. that at
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the exact moment Epstein was arrested the second time, and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the public was seconds away from paying attention, the whole
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: thing was swallowed up by a psy-op that turned legitimate
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: outrage into a cartoonish insanity. It wasn't a coincidence, it
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: was a strategy, it was by design. Because nothing protects
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the guilty better than chaos, and nothing creates chaos quite
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: like weaponized stupidity. The truth got buried under a mountain
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: of absurd riddles and superhero fantasies, And while everyone was
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: being distracted by coded messages and red string on cork boards,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the real criminals were shaking hands, deleting evidence, cutting deals,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: lawyer shopping, and laughing all the way to the bank.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: And now we're here, watching the reveal in real time,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: where a real cabal has been exposed, and instead of
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: being outraged, these people are defending it. They're carrying water
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: for billionaires and predators. They're sneering at survivors. They're attacking
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: anyone who demands transparency. They've become the exact machine they
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: claim they were fighting. They were never about truth. They
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: were never about the kids. They were props in somebody
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: else's operation, and when the spotlight moved, so did they.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And I don't trust a damn one of them. So
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: let's make something perfectly clear. If you screamed about the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: cabal for five years, if you branded yourself a savior
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of trafficked children, if you built a platform on moral outrage,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: but now you're silent, or worse, defending the people tied
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to Epstein, then you are not confused. You are not misguided.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: You're not misinformed. You're complicit. And we see you. This
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: article was published by Alternet and the headline. Infamous pro-Trump
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theorists have been strangely muted on the Epstein scandal.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: This article was authored by Leslie Abravanel. Will Sommer, author
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of Trust the Plan, The Rise of QAnon and the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Conspiracy that Unhinged America, writes in the New York Times
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: that although the recent revelations around deceased Jeffrey Epstein should
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: have been a dream for conspiracy theorists, Their reactions have
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: been strangely muted and dismayed. Well, yeah, because it blows
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: all their bullshit out of the water. All their little
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: fake little conspiracy theories that they were running around yapping about,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: based on emails, by the way, is actually happening in
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: real time when it comes to exposing Epstein. And where
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: are they? Where are all those QAnon people that made
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a name for themselves, a life for themselves, a bunch
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of money for themselves, piggybacking off of what was going
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: on with Epstein? like it was part of their bigger conversation,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: like they really cared. While they were talking about Tom
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Hanks drinking adrenochrome on an island, we were busy trying
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of what the fuck Jeffrey
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Epstein was up to. QAnon, a far-right American political conspiracy
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: theory and movement that claims a cabal in the deep
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: state is operating a global child sex trafficking ring and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: that President Donald Trump is secretly fighting them, has been placed,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Summer says, in an awkward position by Trump's relentless resistance
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: to releasing the Epstein files. Look, there is no middle ground.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Trump is not some grand lord. He didn't get shot
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: down from Mount Olympus where everybody has to listen to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: everything he says. You're allowed to disagree. You're allowed to dissent.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And if you don't, especially when it comes to this,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but you're nothing more than a boo licker.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You're everything that you said you hated. You're everything that
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you said you were fighting against. What was harder to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: explain for many believers was why Mr. Trump spent so
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: long resisting the release of key evidence that would confirm
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: what they suspected was happening all along, Summer says. Well,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: we all know. He's embarrassed by the emails. He's embarrassed
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: by his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. And if there's more
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: in there, well, I'm sure he's going to be embarrassed
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: by that as well. So that's why he hasn't released it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: He's not some grand fighter fighting against the cabal behind
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the scenes. That's so stupid. How could adults believe that?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: He says that while there are some celebrants of the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Epstein developments, much of QAnon's response to Washington's Epstein excitement
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: has been strangely muted, even dismayed. And I think that's
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: true too. A lot of these people are having their
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: worldview severely challenged. You had all these people out here
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: telling you that, you know, there was going to be
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: all these arrests, the storms coming, where we go one,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: we go all. Come on, man, really? None of that
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: stuff is true. No one's coming to save you. There's
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: nobody behind the scenes. No wizard. No white hats. None
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of the other bullshit they talked about is true. You
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: know who's going to stop these people? You. That's who.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: All of us together. That's the only way. And these
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: disgusting fuckbags know it. That's why they keep us fighting,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: keep us arguing, and keep throwing shit like QAnon into
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the mix. And as Congress, near unanimously voted to release
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the Epstein files last week, the conspiracy theorists in the group...
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: may have already moved on, Summer notes. Well, I bet
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: they did. It's not the conspiracy they were looking for, right?
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: They had this idea in their brain and the idea's
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: been wrong. And the truth is, the people that have
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: put that in their brain are these influencers who became
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: big during QAnon. You know the ones I'm talking about.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: They're all over the place. Out here spreading their bullshit
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: like they know what they're talking about. It's all about engagement.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: It's all about clicks. It's all about driving rage. It's
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: never about having legitimate answers, or at least trying to
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: figure things out. It's always about, tomorrow, tomorrow, the storm's
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: coming tomorrow, we're going to out the cabal tomorrow. Remember
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: when all they talked about was the World Economic Forum?
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: That was the big talking point. You hardly hear any
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: of these people talking about that now, right? But with
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the revelations about Mr. Trump's relationship to Mr. Epstein mounting,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the default QAnon position has become that Mr. Epstein just
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: isn't that interesting anymore. He writes, That's partly because QAnon
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: believers no longer stand out so brightly in the conspiracy-minded
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Republican mainstream. Well, I don't know about that. Like, I
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: think that when you start painting people with one large
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: brush and say the Republican mainstream, what does that mean?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people that would be considered
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Republicans or, you know, conservatives, not MAGA, but Republicans who
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: never believe QAnon bullshit. That's for people who are looking
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: for something to fill the void, right? People who don't
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: want to face the facts that the real evil is
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: coming from the institutions themselves. So they have to find
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a boogeyman. But I've been telling you folks for a
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: very long time that the real boogeymen are in the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: financial sector. That's where the real boogeymen are. The people
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: that are making our lives difficult on a regular basis.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: The people that are charging you 35% in APR rate.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: The people that are charging you 15% for your car.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: That kind of shit. Those people are the real boogeyman.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Summer explains that the truth doesn't exactly match the QAnon grandmothers.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: fantasies of elite exposure that QAnon dreamed up at its height.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: But for QAnon, the real problem with the Epstein revelations
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: is that Mr. Trump sits uncomfortably close to the center
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: of them. Bingo. That's why I said from the beginning
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: not to have heroes. None of these politicians are heroes.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: You better pick your heroes wisely, folks. And I truly
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: mean that. Because a lot of these people out here
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that are running around with this mask on, acting like
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: they're great people, acting like they care about all of us,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: they're monsters. Straight up monsters. And that includes Trump. This
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: is a man who has never cared about anybody in
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: his life but himself. QAnon members took to social media
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: after the vote to release the files, including John Herold
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: who wrote, All the awful things that people are saying,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I hope it's not true, Mr. Herold said. I don't
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: want to see any of it. Well, isn't that too bad, Mr. Herald?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't you be talking about aliens giving people butt plugs
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: in Albuquerque or whatever the fuck you idiots are talking
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: about now? And if you're not able to tell, I've
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: reached the end of my rope with all these people.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Enough is enough. Either get on board or get the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: fuck out of the way. I have no time for
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: it anymore. We're way too busy and we have way
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: too much going on for idiots like this, who claim
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to be down for the cause, who claim to be,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you know, fighting for children, to be running interference. Given
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: that the conspiracy theory doubles as a cult of personality
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: built around Mr. Trump, this sort of reaction isn't particularly surprising.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: But the new emails do suggest the conspiracy theorists were
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: right about Mr. Epstein's significance, albeit not in the ways
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: that they thought. Summer says, well... I've been warning you
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: for all these years not to follow the most salacious bullshit.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I've told you that from the jump. For me, it's
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: always the things that I want to believe the most
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: that I'm the most critical of. That's how my process works.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: So say I want to believe that somebody's involved with
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Epstein because I hate them. Well, I'm going to be
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: critical of that because I want to make sure that
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: we have the facts, right? As close to the facts
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: as we can get. I feel like you deserve that.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And frankly, I don't have time to fuck around, and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I know you don't either. Enough is enough already. While Mr.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Epstein was mentioned relatively rarely in QAnon before his 2019 indictment,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: his mysterious death propelled QAnon recruitment and provided endless alleys
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: for its amateur internet sleuths to explore, Summer adds, and
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. There was a whole lot
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: of noise from the very beginning. And I've been saying
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the same thing basically from the very beginning. These people
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: are running interference, whether they know it or not. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: it's causing a lot of regular folks to tune out
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: of what was going on with Epstein. Because they lumped
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: it all together, they were like, oh, that's just crazy
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: people talking about that. There's no cabal. There's no rich,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: powerful people hanging out and doing dastardly things. Well, breaking news,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that part was true. And that's why the people that
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: were engaged in that launched the QAnon PSYOP. Thanks for
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: coming to my TED Talk. Trump's long-proven friendship with Epstein, however,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: has always been difficult for QAnon to explain. Summers notes,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the traditional QAnon explanation for the Paris closeness has been
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: that Mr. Trump was getting close to Mr. Epstein just
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: to bring more publicity to his crimes. He writes, Imagine
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: believing that as an adult? Imagine thinking that that shit's true?
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Trump was working as the Serpico of Mar-a-Lago
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: to bring down Jeffrey Epstein. Really? That's what you're pitching me?
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: That's the kind of bullshit you think I'm going to believe?
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Here's an idea. Miss me with all of it. Because
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: it's all bullshit. But this explanation has begun to look
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: shakier as more emails about Trump and Epstein have emerged.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: QAnon's retreat from the Epstein story is striking because there
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: remains real questions about Mr. Epstein that can make for
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: a rich vein of new theorizing. Summer writes, Look, there's
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: no doubt. I don't have all the answers. But I
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: knew from the jump that these cabal people that were
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: talking about wild, weird shit were there to throw me
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: off the scent. And that's why I never bit on it, right?
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: That's why I never got engaged in that. I wasn't
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: falling for that BS. I knew that if we ever
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: had any chance whatsoever of getting to the bottom of
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: what Epstein was up to, we had to stay laser focused.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Because in all the confusion, that's how these people get
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: away with it. For most QA non-believers, the priority is
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: protecting Mr. Trump at all costs. Even if it means
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: no longer asking questions. Even if it means letting the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: moment they finally got something right, pass them by. Even
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: if it means continuing to thirst for a storm that
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: will never come, he explains. And while one time QAnon believer,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, has moved away from Trump due
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: in part to the Epstein scandal, Summer says that while Ms.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Greene claimed she was no longer a victim of media
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: lies that led her to QAnon, she still seems motivated
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: by the hunt for information about sex trafficking that QAnon
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: claimed to pursue. QAnon, Summer says, offered people an understanding
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: of the world in which Mr. Trump wasn't letting his
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: voters down. He was just fighting forces far more powerful
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: and evil than they could imagine. But things have changed,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: he writes. Now Mr. Trump is once again bogged down
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: in the first year of a presidential term, this time
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: by the Epstein investigation. Prices are rising. Trump supporters are
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: growing restless, Summer says. Do you think Q has one
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: more clue left in him? Oh, there's no doubt. We
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: haven't seen the last of Q. But I'm here to
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: tell you that those people that were out there pumping
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: that shit and trying to wrap it all together, they
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: caused a lot of harm. They slowed things down to
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: a point where a lot of people were able to
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: get away with their bullshit. And you know what? I'm
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: done pretending that any of this is complicated. It's not.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: It's actually insultingly simple. The people who yelled the loudest
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: about saving kids, about fighting evil, about exposing the cabal,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: they folded the minute the cabal stopped being a fairy
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: tale and turned into something real. They vanished. They shut
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: their mouths. They decided protecting their team and their politics
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: mattered more than protecting kids. Nothing heroic about that. Nothing patriotic,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: nothing noble. And that's what makes me sick. Not so
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: much the elites, we already knew who they were. We
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: already knew what they were capable of. Predators pray, power corrupts.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Nothing surprising there. What shocks me is how many regular
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: people chose the Predators over the victims the moment it
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: got hard. The second the villains had familiar faces, familiar jerseys,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Familiar party affiliations suddenly saved the children, became shut up
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and move on. Suddenly justice was optional. Suddenly the truth
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: was inconvenient. And that's the stain that sticks. Watching people
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: who claim to care show their true colors the minute
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the fog cleared. Turns out a lot of these loudmouthed
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: patriots weren't warriors. They were tourists. They liked the costume.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: They liked the rush. They liked LARPing as revolutionaries until

• 17:12
  Speaker 1: whether they cheer for it or not. And the reckoning
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: is still happening whether they believe it or not. They
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: can lie. They can gaslight. They can pretend that this
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: isn't real. They can cry psyop all day. None of
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: it changes what's coming. And when it finally blows open,

  Speaker 1: And it will. Not a single one of those frauds
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: gets to stand next to us and pretend that they
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: were here. They don't get to slap a hashtag on
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: it later and act like they fought. They forfeited that.
