Latest / The Death Of Journalism / Episode Two Hundred Eighty One: Space Alien Anal Probes
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to episode two hundred and eighty one of the
- 0:02Speaker 1: Death of Journalism podcasts. My name is John Zigler. I'm
- 0:05Speaker 1: your host on today's show. Yes, we'll do yet another
- 0:08Speaker 1: update on the never Ending Epstein Insanity. We'll also take
- 0:11Speaker 1: a look at the woke Winter Olympics, Nancy Guthrie is
- 0:15Speaker 1: somehow still missing, Gavin Newsom's wife, attacks the already compliant
- 0:20Speaker 1: news media, and a very extensive and wide ranging interview
- 0:25Speaker 1: with former longtime Democrat congressman and former John Zigler TV
- 0:29Speaker 1: co host John Yarmouth. We begin this episode of the
- 0:33Speaker 1: podcast with a quick programming note for travel considerations. I
- 0:38Speaker 1: am taping this podcast a little over a day earlier
- 0:42Speaker 1: than normal, so please keep that in mind. If something
- 0:46Speaker 1: has happened from Tuesday on, it is not going to
- 0:49Speaker 1: be part of this podcast. We'll get to it the
- 0:52Speaker 1: following week. But there's so much to talk about before
- 0:55Speaker 1: we get to an interview with John Yarmouth, which you
- 0:57Speaker 1: definitely want to stick around for. Unfortunately, I feel like
- 1:01Speaker 1: we have to start once again with the never ending
- 1:03Speaker 1: Epstein Insanity. This truly is the dumbest story of all time,
- 1:08Speaker 1: and yet it keeps somehow getting dumber. And dumber. Every
- 1:13Speaker 1: time I think we have reached peak stupidity, we exceed it,
- 1:17Speaker 1: and we may not have stopped exceeding peak stupidity. There's
- 1:22Speaker 1: no end in sight. There is a perfect storm of
- 1:26Speaker 1: bullshit that is encompassing this entire narrative, and it seems
- 1:31Speaker 1: to be an unstoppable machine, even though there's nothing actually
- 1:35Speaker 1: fueling it other than crap. There's no actual real fuel,
- 1:40Speaker 1: there's no truth behind it, or almost no truth behind it.
- 1:44Speaker 1: And there was a congressional hearing where things really got
- 1:47Speaker 1: completely out of control. And I don't care really what
- 1:51Speaker 1: your political persuasion is, what your opinion is on this story.
- 1:55Speaker 1: It was embarrassing to watch Pam Bondi before a House
- 2:01Speaker 1: committee on her handling of the Epstein files. And I'm
- 2:07Speaker 1: not really blaming her, although I didn't like some of
- 2:09Speaker 1: the ways that she handled the attacks against her. I'm
- 2:14Speaker 1: just talking about the entire situation, the entire episode, the
- 2:19Speaker 1: entire scene was just embarrassing. I mean, here we are
- 2:23Speaker 1: almost at our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
- 2:27Speaker 1: founding of our country, and I'm thinking, look, the founders
- 2:31Speaker 1: were not perfect, and you know, they liked to get
- 2:34Speaker 1: at it, but they had to be if they were
- 2:36Speaker 1: still around the day, humiliated by what has become of
- 2:39Speaker 1: this country based upon the utter ridiculousness that transpired at
- 2:44Speaker 1: this congressional hearing. I'm only going to play one clip
- 2:46Speaker 1: from the hearing itself. It'll kind of be emblematic of
- 2:51Speaker 1: the shit show that was the entire thing. It's probably
- 2:55Speaker 1: the clip that went the most viral, and for rational reasons.
- 2:59Speaker 1: It's Democrat Congressman Ted Lu, who I have mentioned and
- 3:04Speaker 1: mocked before on this podcast. In fact, I've even speculated
- 3:08Speaker 1: is Lou really this dumb or is he lying about
- 3:13Speaker 1: what he truly thinks the Epstein files means, I mean
- 3:17Speaker 1: ted Lu has made statements even before this congressional hearing
- 3:21Speaker 1: indicating that he really truly believes that Donald Trump was
- 3:26Speaker 1: raping babies and that there were all sorts of just
- 3:29Speaker 1: absolutely batshit crazy space alien anal probe stories that ted
- 3:34Speaker 1: Lu seemed to believe, and I was not convinced that
- 3:37Speaker 1: he truly believed it until this interaction with Pam Bondy.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Based upon the emotion in his voice, I think he's
- 3:46Speaker 1: so dumb. He really does not understand the very simple
- 3:51Speaker 1: explanation for how these crazy stories got into the Epstein
- 3:56Speaker 1: files about Donald Trump. I mean, this is not difficult
- 4:00Speaker 1: cult yet I see this on social media constantly, where
- 4:04Speaker 1: Trump haters, and this is where I think I prove
- 4:07Speaker 1: once and for all, I do not have Trump de
- 4:09Speaker 1: rangement syndrome. If I had Trump arrangement syndrome, I would
- 4:12Speaker 1: not be one of Donald Trump's most vocal defenders on
- 4:17Speaker 1: this story. Frankly, I think I've done a better job.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Not that people are listening to me in large numbers,
- 4:22Speaker 1: but I think I've done a better job substantively in
- 4:24Speaker 1: defending him than anybody else has, for reasons that will
- 4:28Speaker 1: become apparent in just a little bit. But the reality
- 4:32Speaker 1: is that almost all of these bullshit stories, these space
- 4:39Speaker 1: alien antal probe stories that are in the Epstein files
- 4:44Speaker 1: come about at a very specific time period when Donald
- 4:49Speaker 1: Trump is president of the United States. It's twenty nineteen.
- 4:54Speaker 1: This story explodes because Epstein kills himself, and no one
- 4:58Speaker 1: seems to want to believe that he killed himself, so
- 5:00Speaker 1: conspiracy theories are flying all over the place. He's not
- 5:05Speaker 1: just president, he's a highly controversial president. He's a president
- 5:09Speaker 1: that liberals still think might be a Russian asset and
- 5:13Speaker 1: therefore desperately one amount of office. He's in the process
- 5:16Speaker 1: of starting to run for re election, and every crack
- 5:20Speaker 1: pot and whack job in the world is hallucinating or
- 5:24Speaker 1: maybe just making shit up in wanting to throw something
- 5:28Speaker 1: against the wall that will finally stick against Donald Trump.
- 5:32Speaker 1: It is not surprising at all, not even the least
- 5:36Speaker 1: bit surprising. I believe I told you this was going
- 5:39Speaker 1: to be the case before the files were fully released
- 5:42Speaker 1: and mostly unredacted. It was always obvious this happens in
- 5:48Speaker 1: every case. Every case doesn't have to be as high
- 5:51Speaker 1: profile as Epstein. I talk all the time about how
- 5:54Speaker 1: my wife and I watch date lines in twenty twenties,
- 5:57Speaker 1: and in semi high profile cases cases that even just
- 6:01Speaker 1: were big time media events locally. One of the worst
- 6:06Speaker 1: things that the authorities can do it hampers the investigation
- 6:10Speaker 1: almost every single time, is to open up some sort
- 6:13Speaker 1: of a tip line and invite people to provide their information. One,
- 6:18Speaker 1: it takes up enormous amounts of resources, but two, the
- 6:21Speaker 1: whack jobs come out of the woodwork for all sorts
- 6:25Speaker 1: of reasons and then put that on steroids. When it's
- 6:28Speaker 1: Donald Trump running for re election, And yet ted lew
- 6:32Speaker 1: in his questioning of Pam Bondy, the Attorney General of
- 6:37Speaker 1: the United States, seems to truly believe this bullshit, and
- 6:41Speaker 1: he believes that there's evidence that Donald Trump committed multiple
- 6:46Speaker 1: horrible crimes. And Pam Bondi, you know, in her mind,
- 6:50Speaker 1: the number one thing for her is to just attack, attack, attack.
- 6:54Speaker 1: She knows her boss, her audience is one person. It's
- 6:58Speaker 1: Donald Trump, it's Beesh's wrong. Doesn't matter what you do,
- 7:02Speaker 1: do not back down. Be strong. If you are attacked,
- 7:06Speaker 1: attack back, doesn't matter what the substance is, doesn't matter
- 7:09Speaker 1: whether there's a better way to do it. That's her
- 7:13Speaker 1: strategy in order to keep her job. And so in
- 7:17Speaker 1: that context, here was ted Lu trying to make the
- 7:20Speaker 1: argument that Pam Bondi perjured herself because she claimed under
- 7:26Speaker 1: oath that Donald Trump did not commit a crime. And
- 7:29Speaker 1: there's no evidence that Donald Trump committed a crime in
- 7:32Speaker 1: the Epstein files, which I wholeheartedly believe is a true statement.
- 7:37Speaker 1: There is no evidence whatsoever in the Epstein files indicating
- 7:42Speaker 1: that Donald Trump committed a sex crime. None. Zero. It's
- 7:46Speaker 1: not close. But don't tell that to Tedlu because he
- 7:49Speaker 1: thinks the evidence is somehow so overwhelming that pambody has
- 7:54Speaker 1: committed perjury for stating the obvious. And here's the exchange
- 8:00Speaker 1: that ensued.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Donald Trump attended various parties with Jeffrey Epstein. I want
- 8:06Speaker 2: to know whether any underage girls at that party or
- 8:10Speaker 2: at any party that Trump attended with Jeffrey Epstein.
- 8:20Speaker 3: This is so ridiculous and that they are trying to deflect.
- 8:26Speaker 1: From all the.
- 8:27Speaker 3: Great things Donald Trump has done. There is no evidence
- 8:30Speaker 3: that Donald Trump has committed a crime. Everyone knows that
- 8:33Speaker 3: this has been the most transparent presidency.
- 8:36Speaker 2: He's the one, got your answer.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Legislation. This is belongs to the gentleman from California.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to put up another document from a
- 8:55Speaker 2: witness who called the FBI's National Threat Operations Center because
- 8:59Speaker 2: I believe just lied under oath.
- 9:01Speaker 1: There is ample evidence into epstein phone. Don't you ever accuse.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Me of a I believe you just lied under oath.
- 9:08Speaker 2: And this is all on videotape. You said there's no
- 9:10Speaker 2: events or crime. I'm showing you. Here is a witness
- 9:14Speaker 2: statement who called into the fi's Threat Operations Center. He
- 9:18Speaker 2: drove Donald Trump around in Limo. He overheard what Donald
- 9:21Speaker 2: Trump said to Jeffrey on his cell phone, he was
- 9:24Speaker 2: so angry he was gonna stop a limo and hurt
- 9:26Speaker 2: Donald Trump. And he met a girl who said she
- 9:29Speaker 2: was raped by Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. She later
- 9:33Speaker 2: had her head blown off, and the officers at the
- 9:35Speaker 2: scene said that could not have been suicide. No one,
- 9:40Speaker 2: no one at the part of justice interviewed this witness.
- 9:46Speaker 2: You need to interview this witness immediately. Epstein should rot
- 9:50Speaker 2: in hell, so should the men who patronize his operation.
- 9:55Speaker 2: And as we say here today, there are over one
- 9:57Speaker 2: thousand sex trafficking victims and you have not held a
- 10:01Speaker 2: single man accountable.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Shame on you.
- 10:04Speaker 2: If you had any decency, you would resign right after.
- 10:06Speaker 1: This here conclusive, gentleman has expired. May I respond, yeah,
- 10:12Speaker 1: I don't know how you respond. I did not ask.
- 10:16Speaker 3: I did not ask a crime in California. He does
- 10:19Speaker 3: not want to talk about.
- 10:20Speaker 1: I did not ask a crime. I did not ask
- 10:24Speaker 1: a question, and he will be in order now. Substantively.
- 10:28Speaker 1: I did not like Pam Bondi's response because I think
- 10:32Speaker 1: there was a lot of low hanging fruit left on
- 10:35Speaker 1: the tree. Because if I was in that situation, I
- 10:40Speaker 1: would have done several things with Ted Lou. First of all,
- 10:43Speaker 1: would have explained the time frame and why the whack
- 10:47Speaker 1: jobs were incentivized to make up stories. That's number one.
- 10:51Speaker 1: But the other thing I would say to Ted Lou
- 10:53Speaker 1: about that crazy story that I don't believe there's any
- 10:58Speaker 1: validity too. By the way, there's no names, there's no dates,
- 11:01Speaker 1: there's no places, there's nothing to it, which is why
- 11:04Speaker 1: it didn't result any charges. I would have asked him, So,
- 11:07Speaker 1: why did no one sue Donald Trump related to the
- 11:11Speaker 1: Epstein case? Congressman Lou, why did that not happen. He's
- 11:17Speaker 1: the most famous person in the world. He's got lots
- 11:20Speaker 1: of money. Every attorney worth their salt would take a
- 11:24Speaker 1: case pro bono to go after the President the United States.
- 11:29Speaker 1: He's been falsely accused many times in civil cases. Why
- 11:34Speaker 1: not one lawsuit related to the Epstein case. I would
- 11:38Speaker 1: also then have added, mister Lou, has it ever occurred
- 11:43Speaker 1: to you that if Epstein had knowledge and proof of
- 11:49Speaker 1: crimes committed by the President of the United States when
- 11:54Speaker 1: he was facing federal charges confined in a federal prison
- 12:00Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, when Donald Trumps president, a guy he knew,
- 12:05Speaker 1: and if he really had blackmail information on him, why
- 12:09Speaker 1: in the world would Epstein have ever killed himself. Now
- 12:14Speaker 1: there's a good chance that Loop probably would have said
- 12:16Speaker 1: I don't believe he killed himself, which in a logical
- 12:21Speaker 1: world would be completely discredited. But that's unfortunately the perfect
- 12:25Speaker 1: storm of this completely bullshit case, because that's the escape
- 12:29Speaker 1: valve for everybody. Even though there's no chance that happened,
- 12:32Speaker 1: the evidence of his suicide is overwhelming. For him not
- 12:37Speaker 1: to have committed suicide. Bill Barr would have had to
- 12:40Speaker 1: have lied and been part of a cover up, led
- 12:42Speaker 1: a cover up. Donald Trump would have to have lied
- 12:44Speaker 1: and been part of a cover up. Pam Bondi would
- 12:46Speaker 1: have to be lying and be part of a cover up.
- 12:49Speaker 1: Cash Patel would have to be lying and be part
- 12:51Speaker 1: of a cover up. Dan Bongino would have to be
- 12:53Speaker 1: lying and part of a cover up. Not to mention,
- 12:56Speaker 1: the conspiracy would be massive, massive. I mean, it's just
- 13:01Speaker 1: to take a look at the videos that they do
- 13:03Speaker 1: have inside the prison during the time period that he
- 13:07Speaker 1: killed himself. Folks, the people that were on duty that
- 13:10Speaker 1: night were not part of some sort of grand conspiracy.
- 13:14Speaker 1: They were worried about where they were getting their next donut. Okay,
- 13:18Speaker 1: it's just so fucking ridiculous, the whole idea. But then
- 13:23Speaker 1: I would have added to Congressman Lou I would have said,
- 13:26Speaker 1: all right, so no lawsuits. Epstein, for some reason, kills himself.
- 13:31Speaker 1: But what about the Biden DOJ. The Biden DOJ was
- 13:35Speaker 1: willing to go after Donald Trump on everything. They didn't
- 13:37Speaker 1: say a word about this, not a word. And it's
- 13:40Speaker 1: got to be frustrating as hell for the Trump people
- 13:43Speaker 1: to have opened up this Pandora's box, this can of worms.
- 13:46Speaker 1: And look, part of me, I'm not having a lot
- 13:49Speaker 1: of sympathy for what the Trump administration is enduring. Because
- 13:53Speaker 1: when you live by conspiracy, you die by conspiracy. I mean.
- 13:57Speaker 1: And that's Donald Trump. He is his career, He add
- 14:00Speaker 1: his political career based upon conspiracies. It began with the
- 14:05Speaker 1: whole birth certificate bullshit involving Barack Obama. That was a
- 14:10Speaker 1: massive crap conspiracy theory. That's how he became strong enough
- 14:15Speaker 1: within what is now known as Macca for him to
- 14:18Speaker 1: win the twenty sixteen Republican presidential nomination. And that's just
- 14:23Speaker 1: the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Trump
- 14:26Speaker 1: and conspiracies. But on this conspiracy in particular, Trump has
- 14:30Speaker 1: gotta be filming, because here they release as many of
- 14:35Speaker 1: these goddamn files as they possibly can't. I believe in
- 14:39Speaker 1: a very imperfect way, but it was a herculean task.
- 14:42Speaker 1: The Biden administration never did anything, never said a word
- 14:46Speaker 1: about it, never released one piece of paper. There's some
- 14:49Speaker 1: people now trying to come up with an explanation for that. Well,
- 14:53Speaker 1: Gallaid Maxwell was still appealing bull crap, bull crap. Okay,
- 14:59Speaker 1: maybe that might have some influence over documents directly related
- 15:03Speaker 1: to her court case, but that is a minuscule amount
- 15:08Speaker 1: of these so called Epstein files. People are as desperate
- 15:12Speaker 1: for any excuse to hold on to their crazy narrative,
- 15:16Speaker 1: and the fact that the Biden DOJ did nothing is
- 15:19Speaker 1: really the smoking gun, especially with regard to Trump, that
- 15:23Speaker 1: there's nothing here and ted lew is completely lost his mind.
- 15:27Speaker 1: He must be an idiot, He must be an idiot
- 15:31Speaker 1: in order to actually believe that these stories could even
- 15:35Speaker 1: plausibly be true with absolutely no specifics, no evidence, no corroboration,
- 15:40Speaker 1: no details, no nothing. There's space alien antal probe stories.
- 15:46Speaker 1: And when it came to the pambinding testimony. There was
- 15:50Speaker 1: a viral moment that really tells you everything about where
- 15:53Speaker 1: we are in this country with regard to how broken
- 15:56Speaker 1: the narrative is, how broken the public dial is, and
- 16:01Speaker 1: how utterly impossible it is for the truth to ever
- 16:05Speaker 1: get out regarding sex abuse claims. I mean, I have
- 16:09Speaker 1: lived this for far too long. I know you know
- 16:12Speaker 1: already because of the whole Penn State Joe Paternal Jerry
- 16:15Speaker 1: Sandusky case. But I mean, this is deja vous all
- 16:18Speaker 1: over again in so many ways, and you could write
- 16:22Speaker 1: a book about this one little thing that happened. So
- 16:25Speaker 1: there was a moment when those in the gallery were
- 16:30Speaker 1: asked by a Democratic congressman to raise their hand if
- 16:34Speaker 1: they're a victim of Epstein who has never been spoken
- 16:37Speaker 1: to by the Attorney General's office. As if the Attorney
- 16:41Speaker 1: General's office has nothing better to do than to investigate
- 16:45Speaker 1: the case of a guy who hired a lot of prostitutes,
- 16:48Speaker 1: some of whom were under age, and who killed himself
- 16:50Speaker 1: in prison over six years ago. This should not, in
- 16:53Speaker 1: a rational world, be a high priority. But this photograph
- 16:58Speaker 1: was taken, and I'm sure the person that up the photograph,
- 17:00Speaker 1: you know, they're probably gonna be nominated for a Pulitzer
- 17:03Speaker 1: because to liberals, this was very, very tittilating because behind
- 17:07Speaker 1: Pam Bondy, as he's trying to ignore this, there were
- 17:11Speaker 1: seven hands that were raised in the gallery. This is
- 17:14Speaker 1: a very small gallery right behind Pam Bondy, and there
- 17:17Speaker 1: were seven hands that were raised, indicating that the Attorney
- 17:20Speaker 1: General's office has never spoken to me an Epstein survivor.
- 17:25Speaker 1: And thank goodness for Michael Tracy, who we had on
- 17:28Speaker 1: this podcast, even though it went sideways, and he and
- 17:30Speaker 1: I have had very very little communication since then because
- 17:33Speaker 1: I think I heard his feelings by proving that he
- 17:35Speaker 1: had no clue what he's talking about with regard to
- 17:38Speaker 1: the issue of the suicide of Jeffrey Epstein. But I
- 17:42Speaker 1: still respect his work. I still shared on social media
- 17:45Speaker 1: all the time. He's done Yeoman's work on the details.
- 17:48Speaker 1: He's very very good on the details. He's a terrible interview,
- 17:52Speaker 1: but he's very very good on the details. And he
- 17:54Speaker 1: took the photo and he numbered the hands one through seven,
- 17:58Speaker 1: and then he created an image which he shared, which,
- 18:01Speaker 1: thankfully for the contrarian position on this story, went pretty
- 18:05Speaker 1: darn viral, and I think it opened up some eyes.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Some people that have been wondering about this story because
- 18:11Speaker 1: it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. And
- 18:14Speaker 1: I'm not going to bother with the names. But here
- 18:17Speaker 1: one through seven is the description that Michael Tracy provided
- 18:21Speaker 1: to provide some context for who these people were raising
- 18:25Speaker 1: their hands in this viral photograph that was intended to
- 18:29Speaker 1: make Pam Bondi look bad. Number one is a woman
- 18:33Speaker 1: who claims she was sexually assaulted by Epstein in nineteen
- 18:37Speaker 1: ninety two at the age of twenty two, but did
- 18:41Speaker 1: not realize she'd been victimized until twenty nineteen. What happens
- 18:48Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, Well, he kills himself. The story becomes huge,
- 18:52Speaker 1: and it's clear that there's money on the table when
- 18:55Speaker 1: she gave a ted talk and launched a consulting firm.
- 19:02Speaker 1: That's Number one, Okay, not exactly a real solid accuser,
- 19:07Speaker 1: especially not of child sex trafficking. Number two claims she
- 19:12Speaker 1: was quote unquote groomed and quote unquote trafficked by Epstein
- 19:18Speaker 1: and Maxwell in two thousand and two at the age
- 19:22Speaker 1: of twenty two, and did not realize she'd been victimized
- 19:28Speaker 1: until you guessed it twenty nineteen, after watching a YouTube video.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Number three, she claims she encountered Epstein and Maxwell in
- 19:40Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four at the age of twenty one, but
- 19:45Speaker 1: did not realize she had been trafficked quote unquote until
- 19:49Speaker 1: you guessed it twenty nineteen, after she spent the preceding
- 19:54Speaker 1: several decades in long term psychiatric facilities. Number four. She
- 20:02Speaker 1: refuses to give specifics, but claims that she as an
- 20:06Speaker 1: adult model when she was trafficked sometime in the early
- 20:11Speaker 1: mid two thousands. So again, an adult model was trafficked
- 20:16Speaker 1: sometime in the early mid two thousands, with no specifics.
- 20:19Speaker 1: That was number four. Number five out of seven, she
- 20:23Speaker 1: claims she was sexually abused in some nonspecific way when
- 20:28Speaker 1: she was a twenty one year old model and accepted
- 20:31Speaker 1: an invitation to go on a day trip to Epstein's island.
- 20:36Speaker 1: Number six not an alleged victim, The sister in law
- 20:40Speaker 1: of Virginia Geoffrey, the primary accuser of both Jeffrey Epstein
- 20:47Speaker 1: and former Prince Andrew, the woman who really started this
- 20:50Speaker 1: whole fiasco. Then Number seven not an alleged victim. Brother
- 20:55Speaker 1: of Virginia Geoffrey. So of the seven people picked in
- 21:00Speaker 1: this viral photo. There is not one person who even
- 21:04Speaker 1: alleges to have been a victim of child sex trafficking.
- 21:10Speaker 1: Not one comes even close. And you could probably make
- 21:14Speaker 1: a pretty good argument that none of those people were
- 21:18Speaker 1: actually abused by Jeffrey Epstein. It's possible a couple of
- 21:23Speaker 1: them didn't even meet Jeffrey Epstein. They might be making
- 21:26Speaker 1: the whole thing up. But the reality is that at best,
- 21:33Speaker 1: at best, there is nobody who even comes close to
- 21:39Speaker 1: making the allegation that is primary to the narrative. This
- 21:43Speaker 1: was supposed to be a massive child sex trafficking ring.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Yet we can't find anybody that was actually a victim
- 21:51Speaker 1: of a child sex trafficking ring. And this, I think
- 21:55Speaker 1: is starting to open some people's minds. I'm going to
- 21:57Speaker 1: get back to the validity of the accusers of the
- 22:01Speaker 1: survivors in a minute. But the biggest moment of the
- 22:04Speaker 1: last week in the Epstein saga, at least what should
- 22:08Speaker 1: have been the biggest moment. It should have been the
- 22:10Speaker 1: Aha moment. It should have been the oh look, there's
- 22:14Speaker 1: an old man behind the curtain and no Wizard of
- 22:16Speaker 1: Oz moment was when Democrat Rocanna, who has now become
- 22:22Speaker 1: buddy buddy with pseudo Republican former libertarian Congressman Thomas Massey.
- 22:29Speaker 1: They've been like Batman and Robin, trying to track down
- 22:32Speaker 1: the bad guys on this. They went through the Epstein files,
- 22:36Speaker 1: the unredacted version, still looking for this list, still looking
- 22:41Speaker 1: for the list of perpetrators that they just know is there,
- 22:45Speaker 1: like Linus in the Great Pumpkin Patch. They just know
- 22:49Speaker 1: it's there. They just gotta find it. And Rocanna thought
- 22:53Speaker 1: that he did, and he went on the house floor
- 22:57Speaker 1: and he referenced the name of the six men he believes,
- 23:03Speaker 1: quote unquote, we're very likely implicated in Epstein's crimes. Now.
- 23:09Speaker 1: I referenced that phrase last week with great umbrage and outrage, like,
- 23:13Speaker 1: what the fuck are you talking about? Very likely implicated?
- 23:17Speaker 1: What the hell does that mean? That's not the standard
- 23:21Speaker 1: of anything. How is that even the role of a
- 23:24Speaker 1: US congressman. I mean, we're so far beyond the gravitational
- 23:30Speaker 1: pull of the rational Earth we can't even see the
- 23:34Speaker 1: Earth anymore from where we are out in orbit of insanity.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Well kind of thought he had the names. He finally
- 23:41Speaker 1: had six names. He's finally had a semblance of a list,
- 23:46Speaker 1: and he went on the house floor and dramatically named
- 23:49Speaker 1: them like the hero.
- 23:50Speaker 4: That he is, and we learned that seventy to eighty
- 23:54Speaker 4: percent of the files are still redacted. In fact, there
- 24:00Speaker 4: were six wealthy powerful men that the DOJ hid for
- 24:05Speaker 4: no apparent reason. When Congressman Massey and I pointed this
- 24:10Speaker 4: out to the Department of Justice, they acknowledged their mistake,
- 24:14Speaker 4: and now they have revealed the ideas speaker the six
- 24:17Speaker 4: powerful men. These men are Salvator Novora, Zorab, mikolads Leopig
- 24:26Speaker 4: Leonor Nikola Kaputa, Sultan Ahmed bin Suliam, CEO of Dubaiports World,
- 24:34Speaker 4: and billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner, who was labeled as a
- 24:39Speaker 4: co conspirator by the FBI.
- 24:42Speaker 1: Well, for a moment there, the people who have been
- 24:46Speaker 1: promoting this narrative and believing in it and condemning those
- 24:50Speaker 1: who have been skeptical of it, thought that they finally
- 24:54Speaker 1: had some semblance of a list. And then like fifteen
- 24:59Speaker 1: minutes later, it all fell apart because it turns out
- 25:04Speaker 1: that four of the six names that kind of mentioned
- 25:09Speaker 1: had absolutely positively nothing to do with Epstein. Nothing. It
- 25:17Speaker 1: was just a weird deal. I mean these files. People
- 25:20Speaker 1: don't understand so many things about this case, but one
- 25:23Speaker 1: of them is they say there's millions and millions and
- 25:26Speaker 1: millions of files. I'll bet you a huge percentage don't
- 25:31Speaker 1: even relate to Epstein. They just somehow come under some
- 25:35Speaker 1: computer puts them under the umbrella. They touch, even indirectly,
- 25:41Speaker 1: something related to Epstein. It's like six degrees of Kevin Bacon,
- 25:45Speaker 1: and these four guys were all in some sort of
- 25:49Speaker 1: lineup that it was confirmed had absolutely zero to do
- 25:57Speaker 1: with Jeffrey Epstein, which is why they were redacted. Their
- 26:02Speaker 1: naves are redacted. I mean, this is the redaction part
- 26:06Speaker 1: of this also drives me crazy, and I've predicted this
- 26:10Speaker 1: from the beginning. I've always said they're getting a lot
- 26:13Speaker 1: of heat for not coming forward and not obeying the
- 26:16Speaker 1: law when it comes to releasing these things. The redaction
- 26:20Speaker 1: process has put them in an impossible situation, and I've
- 26:23Speaker 1: been critical. I think they've redacted too many faces, Like
- 26:27Speaker 1: redacting the face of every single female in these photos
- 26:30Speaker 1: makes you look guilty no matter what you're doing. They've
- 26:33Speaker 1: done former Prince Andrew totally dirty on multiple occasions doing
- 26:38Speaker 1: it that way. The only woman they don't redact or
- 26:40Speaker 1: face is Glainne Maxwell, So every picture looks sinister when
- 26:45Speaker 1: you do that. But there were obviously going to be
- 26:48Speaker 1: completely innocent people whose names you would want to redact
- 26:53Speaker 1: to try to save them from getting destroyed. Which is
- 26:57Speaker 1: why Trump was always against this these being released. Willie Nilly,
- 27:03Speaker 1: why he called the whole thing a hoax. I think
- 27:05Speaker 1: he knew this was what was gonna happen, which is
- 27:08Speaker 1: why he told Marjorie Taylor Green that people were gonna
- 27:12Speaker 1: get hurt, and then she morphed that into and lied,
- 27:15Speaker 1: saying my friends are gonna get hurt. There's still no
- 27:18Speaker 1: evidence of that whatsoever. So four of the six right
- 27:22Speaker 1: off the bat totally debunked. I mean, a situation where
- 27:28Speaker 1: people really ought to sue. I don't know what the
- 27:30Speaker 1: legalities is, legalities are in this particular situation, but there
- 27:35Speaker 1: ought to be some accountability, and it's at least been acknowledged.
- 27:38Speaker 1: Connor himself sheepishly went on social media and acknowledged that
- 27:43Speaker 1: four of those six names had absolutely nothing to do
- 27:46Speaker 1: with Epstein. And then there's a fifth name, a guy
- 27:49Speaker 1: the name of Leslie Wexner, who I've mentioned before, who
- 27:53Speaker 1: I have an interest in because he's an Ohio State
- 27:55Speaker 1: Athletics booster and he's connected to at least lose to
- 28:00Speaker 1: Jim Jordan and what I believe to be a completely
- 28:03Speaker 1: or almost completely bogus Ohio State wrestling scandal. And there
- 28:07Speaker 1: have been many people liberals who have tried and oh,
- 28:12Speaker 1: by the way, the Ohio State Wrestling frauds, they smell
- 28:15Speaker 1: blood on this. They've been trying to reel in Wexner.
- 28:19Speaker 1: They got nbcated into another story connecting Wexner to Epstein
- 28:24Speaker 1: so that maybe they can finally milk some serious money
- 28:28Speaker 1: out of Ohio State. I mean, these guys are scoundrels,
- 28:31Speaker 1: these fraudsters from Ohio State Wrestling. And I've done a
- 28:35Speaker 1: lot of work on that case. I'm very confident saying
- 28:39Speaker 1: that nobody knew that they were being sexually abused. By
- 28:43Speaker 1: the way, if there wasn't a sexual abuse in that case,
- 28:45Speaker 1: effectively there was consent involved because they were well above
- 28:48Speaker 1: the age of consent that they were incentivised to consent
- 28:52Speaker 1: for the very bizarre reasons that they were doing so,
- 28:55Speaker 1: mostly for drugs with a diminutive gay doctor. Anyway, without
- 29:01Speaker 1: getting too deeply into that story, I know his role
- 29:04Speaker 1: with regard to Jordan is completely innocent and non criminal,
- 29:09Speaker 1: and the fact that they're trying to use Epstein makes
- 29:11Speaker 1: me highly skeptical. Well, it turns out Wexter, and this
- 29:14Speaker 1: is extraordinary. Almost makes me wonder whether not Wexter paid
- 29:17Speaker 1: this guy off. But the primary plaintiffs' attorney for the
- 29:21Speaker 1: Epstein survivors has publicly stated unequivocally that they looked into
- 29:26Speaker 1: Wexter and need absolutely nothing to do with any of
- 29:28Speaker 1: Epstein's crimes. So he's off the list. So that makes
- 29:32Speaker 1: them all for five over five with one more to go. Well,
- 29:37Speaker 1: the sixth person was the CEO of DP World and
- 29:41Speaker 1: he resigned, and Thomas Massey took a victory lap on
- 29:45Speaker 1: that as if somehow see what I did. I forced
- 29:49Speaker 1: this bad guy, this guy who was complicit in Epstein's crimes,
- 29:56Speaker 1: to resign his job. All, it's not as good as
- 29:59Speaker 1: a a criminal charge, but at least there's some accountability.
- 30:02Speaker 1: These are my words. But that's the implication. Well, let's
- 30:05Speaker 1: look at this. First of all, DP World is a
- 30:09Speaker 1: state owned company extremely sensitive to bad pr My guess is,
- 30:17Speaker 1: I don't know this. The guy probably got a pretty
- 30:20Speaker 1: good golden parachute to resign because now that he's attached
- 30:23Speaker 1: to Epstein, it's not helpful to the company. But what
- 30:29Speaker 1: was the revelation that caused his resignation, Well, the Epstein
- 30:34Speaker 1: conspiracy nut jobs. They focused on the fact that in
- 30:39Speaker 1: an email he had wanted to see some sort of
- 30:42Speaker 1: quote unquote torture video or had referenced watching a torture video,
- 30:47Speaker 1: and these idiots all presumed that that meant it was
- 30:52Speaker 1: a torture video that was created by Epstein of children
- 30:56Speaker 1: being sexually torture. That's the only possible explanation for the
- 31:00Speaker 1: ass except there was a very very public story involving
- 31:08Speaker 1: this whole situation and a torture video from like fifth sixteen,
- 31:13Speaker 1: seventeen years ago, somewhere in that range that was very
- 31:18Speaker 1: well publicly known that had absolutely positively nothing, surprise, surprise,
- 31:25Speaker 1: nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein or his crimes. So yeah,
- 31:30Speaker 1: they got a scalp. Congratulations, nice job, everybody, Well done everybody,
- 31:35Speaker 1: But it had absolutely nothing to do with Epstein's crimes.
- 31:39Speaker 1: It's just the radioactivity, the toxicity of this story being
- 31:44Speaker 1: at basically unprecedented levels, and whatever it touches is bound
- 31:49Speaker 1: to die, even if you had absolutely nothing to do
- 31:53Speaker 1: with Epstein. And Thomas Massey has been, in my opinion,
- 31:57Speaker 1: the biggest disappointment here. I mean Marjorie Taylor Green and Mace,
- 32:03Speaker 1: Congresswoman Mace, and congress Woman Luna. I think these are
- 32:06Speaker 1: all not jobs, and I don't have a lot of
- 32:09Speaker 1: respect or high expectations for them. But Thomas Massey was
- 32:13Speaker 1: my favorite congress person, Republican, last Libertarian from a rural
- 32:19Speaker 1: county or area in Kentucky. He used to follow me
- 32:24Speaker 1: on Twitter. I just realized today he does not follow
- 32:26Speaker 1: me on Twitter anymore. I don't know when that happened,
- 32:28Speaker 1: but I'm guessing it was probably because I have been
- 32:32Speaker 1: rather critical of him, which I think is very telling
- 32:35Speaker 1: that he would unfollow me, kind of a Megan Kelly
- 32:38Speaker 1: type move. Because you don't like someone's opinion, you unfollow him. Fine,
- 32:41Speaker 1: that's fine, more than his right to do that. But
- 32:43Speaker 1: I did find that to be very interesting. But he
- 32:46Speaker 1: is no longer. I don't have a favorite congressman, but
- 32:49Speaker 1: it's not Thomas Massey. In my opinion, he has jumped
- 32:54Speaker 1: the shark, he has lost the plot, he has embarrassed himself.
- 32:59Speaker 1: He is eating a witch hunt. He has become a
- 33:02Speaker 1: drama queen, pretending that he is somehow in a situation
- 33:08Speaker 1: where his life might be in danger. And then when
- 33:12Speaker 1: when I criticized that, I had people online saying Johnny's joking,
- 33:15Speaker 1: He's joking, No, no indication he was joking. And I'm
- 33:19Speaker 1: about to prove in a second that he was not joking,
- 33:21Speaker 1: because he's made the statement on multiple mediums in various
- 33:26Speaker 1: different ways, never with a joke. By the way, now
- 33:30Speaker 1: he is also saying that criticism of him online is
- 33:34Speaker 1: being paid for, which shows he's on the right track.
- 33:39Speaker 1: Oh my god, well, I wish I could get some
- 33:41Speaker 1: of that money. I'm not being paid to criticize him.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Who's paying? Can someone please tell me who's paying to
- 33:48Speaker 1: criticize Thomas Massey in this witch hunt? I mean, this
- 33:53Speaker 1: is and what's so depressing is this is a guy
- 33:55Speaker 1: who has stood on principle many many times. And I
- 33:59Speaker 1: actually think my theory on this, although this does not
- 34:02Speaker 1: explain everything, my theory on this is that a little
- 34:06Speaker 1: bit like James call me, Thomas Massey is in love
- 34:09Speaker 1: with his own virtue and his own intelligence, and he
- 34:14Speaker 1: does not believe he could have been duped on this.
- 34:17Speaker 1: He is deeply, deeply invested in this situation. His political future,
- 34:21Speaker 1: he acknowledges, is on the line. He cannot be wrong,
- 34:25Speaker 1: he cannot admit that he was wrong. And we all
- 34:28Speaker 1: know that it's far easier to dupe somebody than to
- 34:32Speaker 1: persuade them that they have been duped, especially when they're
- 34:35Speaker 1: deeply invested in not having been duped. But Thomas Massey
- 34:43Speaker 1: is really doing He's pretending to do the work of
- 34:48Speaker 1: the good. I believe he's doing the work of the evil.
- 34:51Speaker 1: I think he's on the bad side here. I think
- 34:53Speaker 1: he is destroying innocent people's lives out of some desperate
- 34:58Speaker 1: attempt at political survival. Now that he's been kicked out
- 35:02Speaker 1: of MAGA and has to run in a Republican primary
- 35:06Speaker 1: without any MAGA support, at least not Donald Trump's support.
- 35:10Speaker 1: Now I honestly do not know. I don't know how
- 35:12Speaker 1: he'll fare. My guess is that if he wins the primary,
- 35:16Speaker 1: he'll probably win. But that's not even a certainty because
- 35:19Speaker 1: I can certainly see a situation where he's become so
- 35:22Speaker 1: radioactive to MAGA where he pulls out the primary and
- 35:26Speaker 1: even though he's in a safe Republican district that the
- 35:29Speaker 1: MAGA world decides not to vote for him. Who knows.
- 35:33Speaker 1: But the point is he clearly is acting very very desperately.
- 35:37Speaker 1: And here is a clip to give you a sense
- 35:40Speaker 1: that I'm not lying when I say he is not
- 35:43Speaker 1: joking about this idea that what he's doing is so
- 35:47Speaker 1: dangerous that his life might be in danger. Here he
- 35:51Speaker 1: was doing a podcast interview where he starts talking about
- 35:54Speaker 1: Donald Trump and then starts going into his drama queen act,
- 36:00Speaker 1: claiming that lots of people might want him dead.
- 36:04Speaker 5: And ignored the Epstein files and called them a hoax.
- 36:07Speaker 5: But I'm not willing to do that. You know, I've
- 36:09Speaker 5: met with the survivors. This is personal to me now,
- 36:13Speaker 5: and so you know, it's true that my political career
- 36:17Speaker 5: is on the line, my political life, but my own
- 36:21Speaker 5: health and well being could very well be too.
- 36:23Speaker 1: I've upset a lot.
- 36:25Speaker 5: Of billionaires who obviously aren't of high moral character and
- 36:29Speaker 5: have done some really shady stuff.
- 36:32Speaker 1: Folks, Nobody wants Thomas Massey dead. Nobody's gonna kill Thomas Massey.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Nobody has been killed in this case. Epstein wasn't killed,
- 36:44Speaker 1: Geoffrey wasn't killed. They killed themselves. And even though you know,
- 36:51Speaker 1: whenever the conspiracy nuts need to get out of a
- 36:55Speaker 1: corner of this maze that they've built for themselves, they'll
- 36:58Speaker 1: claim that Epstein was murdered or Gioffrey was was somehow murdered,
- 37:03Speaker 1: which is it's just absurd. I mean, if you're gonna
- 37:06Speaker 1: kill Geoffrey, you would have killed her ten years ago
- 37:10Speaker 1: at least. I mean, she's done all the damage she
- 37:13Speaker 1: was gonna do. She killed herself just before her book
- 37:16Speaker 1: came out last year, which isn't highly highly suspicious, but
- 37:19Speaker 1: no one wants to talk or think about that. Look,
- 37:24Speaker 1: the great irony of this idea that Massey now wants
- 37:29Speaker 1: people to believe that somehow his life could be in danger.
- 37:32Speaker 1: This is again him in love with his own virtue,
- 37:35Speaker 1: is that he's now even claiming that he himself not
- 37:39Speaker 1: only doesn't know whether or not Epstein killed himself, he
- 37:43Speaker 1: doesn't even know if Epstein is actually dead. He has
- 37:47Speaker 1: claimed that we can't find the body, we don't know
- 37:50Speaker 1: that he's dead. I mean, this is this is just
- 37:53Speaker 1: looney tune stuff. He has lost his mind or he's lying.
- 37:57Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent sure which he's more intelligent
- 38:00Speaker 1: than Ted Lew. But you know this, I guess this
- 38:03Speaker 1: is what happens when people are desperate to maintain their
- 38:06Speaker 1: power and their relevance, and when you're facing the possibility
- 38:12Speaker 1: that your career might be over. Weird things happen, and
- 38:15Speaker 1: it's it's really depressing because this is the last libertarian
- 38:19Speaker 1: congressman in the US House Representatives, and he's he is
- 38:25Speaker 1: not a good guy anymore. He's actually a bad guy.
- 38:28Speaker 1: He's leading a witch hunt and a lot of people
- 38:31Speaker 1: are being greatly harmed by it without any justification. Now,
- 38:36Speaker 1: I've mentioned many times that Virginia Gioffrey is, in my opinion,
- 38:41Speaker 1: a fraud. I mean, the evidence that she's fraud is overwhelming.
- 38:45Speaker 1: She's at the heart of this whole case. I mean
- 38:48Speaker 1: she was forced to recant a very very serious allegation
- 38:52Speaker 1: against Alan Dershowitz. I mean the fact that Alan Dershowitz
- 38:54Speaker 1: has basically had his nuts. I don't know if they've
- 38:57Speaker 1: been cut off, but they're they're in some sort of
- 39:00Speaker 1: a bag because he doesn't feel like he's capable of
- 39:03Speaker 1: telling the full truth about this whole situation. He got
- 39:05Speaker 1: a little bit pissed off when Moore came out in
- 39:08Speaker 1: the Epstein files about her allegations against him. But it
- 39:11Speaker 1: now turns out that she accused Alan Dershowitz of having
- 39:16Speaker 1: sex of some sort with her six times, six times,
- 39:21Speaker 1: and then when he proved that that wasn't possible, she
- 39:26Speaker 1: was forced to claim that it was a misunderstanding or
- 39:29Speaker 1: a misidentification, even though we've never heard of anybody that
- 39:33Speaker 1: can remotely come close to the description of Alan Dershowitz.
- 39:38Speaker 1: He's literally one of a kind. So she lied and
- 39:42Speaker 1: got caught, see, because she's not used to people pushing
- 39:46Speaker 1: back and being able to prove their own innocence, like
- 39:48Speaker 1: Andrew was completely besides, you know, out of out of sorts,
- 39:54Speaker 1: out of his bubble, like a zoo animal in the wild.
- 39:58Speaker 1: He got eaten alive. And she made a lot of
- 40:00Speaker 1: money because of that whole situation. But she has lied constantly,
- 40:05Speaker 1: and I believe she faked the bus accident at the
- 40:07Speaker 1: beginning of last year. And I believe she killed herself,
- 40:11Speaker 1: probably because she was afraid about the book coming out.
- 40:15Speaker 1: I mean, it's Akam's razor. If you kill yourself just
- 40:18Speaker 1: before a book's coming out, the book release probably had
- 40:21Speaker 1: something to do with your killing yourself, especially when you're
- 40:24Speaker 1: rich and you're famous and people love you, the media
- 40:27Speaker 1: loves you. I mean, look, people get depressed, and the
- 40:30Speaker 1: mental illness. She was abused apparently, it appears to be
- 40:35Speaker 1: a fact that she was badly abused as a child,
- 40:38Speaker 1: and people, I think wrongly presume, well, that's why she
- 40:41Speaker 1: keeps getting abused. No, that's why she keeps lying about
- 40:44Speaker 1: being abused. She's nuts. It's not all her fault. I
- 40:50Speaker 1: have sympathy for her, But almost all of this has
- 40:54Speaker 1: been based, at least in part, and certainly the narrative
- 40:58Speaker 1: has been based on the world of a lunatic who
- 41:01Speaker 1: has been proven to have lied many many times. But
- 41:06Speaker 1: she's not the only accuser or quote unquote survivor of
- 41:11Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein that has absolutely no credibility whatsoever. And as
- 41:16Speaker 1: I said, there's been some semblance of the truth of
- 41:19Speaker 1: this story starting to get a little bit of traction,
- 41:22Speaker 1: at least online, not in the mainstream news media. But
- 41:25Speaker 1: I'm starting to see some fairly major commentators go, Hmmm,
- 41:30Speaker 1: why are they giving a list these survivors Like Clay Travis,
- 41:35Speaker 1: I think is always an interesting case. I've talked about
- 41:37Speaker 1: him a lot conservative commentator, owner of out Kick, legedly conservative,
- 41:41Speaker 1: although he's not really a conservative. He's a two plus
- 41:44Speaker 1: two equals four guy. He frustrates me because sometimes he
- 41:47Speaker 1: can be fairly smart. I mean, I unfortunately have never
- 41:52Speaker 1: had a conversation with him about Penn State, Joe Paternal,
- 41:54Speaker 1: Jeryson Dusky. He refuses to talk to me, even though
- 41:56Speaker 1: his boss, an old friend of mine, asked him to.
- 42:00Speaker 1: He's completely invested in the fairy tale there. I'm positive
- 42:03Speaker 1: if I was given enough time with him, I'd be
- 42:04Speaker 1: able to convince him if he was open minded enough,
- 42:07Speaker 1: because I know the way he thinks, and it's been
- 42:09Speaker 1: funny and interesting to see him inching closer to starting
- 42:13Speaker 1: to call bullshit on these accusers because the accuser narrative
- 42:17Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. And a lot of these survivors
- 42:20Speaker 1: are starting to become a little too comfortable talking publicly.
- 42:25Speaker 1: You know, for a while, there was at least some shyness,
- 42:29Speaker 1: some hesitancy, but now there's too much attention, there's too
- 42:34Speaker 1: much of a hurricane win at their back. There's too
- 42:36Speaker 1: much potentially more money at stake here, and let's face it,
- 42:40Speaker 1: I mean, to get yourself in this situation, assuming there's
- 42:43Speaker 1: any truth to your story at all, You've got to
- 42:45Speaker 1: be at least a little bit of an attention whore.
- 42:48Speaker 1: I mean, that's how you've got in this spot to
- 42:49Speaker 1: begin with. So you're already prone to being the type
- 42:54Speaker 1: of person that's gonna actually love being in the spotlight
- 42:57Speaker 1: and love, you know, playing the victim and having people
- 43:01Speaker 1: have sympathy for you. And also, which I always say
- 43:04Speaker 1: is one of the biggest factors in all these cases,
- 43:08Speaker 1: you get when you become an accuser or a victim
- 43:11Speaker 1: in a case like this, all your past mistakes in
- 43:15Speaker 1: life are erased, all of them, they're gone, you know,
- 43:21Speaker 1: anything that's happened after you were allegedly abused. You now
- 43:25Speaker 1: have a built in excuse, which is one of the
- 43:29Speaker 1: things that human beings want more than anything, especially in
- 43:31Speaker 1: this day and age. They want to be a victim,
- 43:33Speaker 1: but they want to have an excuse for their own
- 43:35Speaker 1: fuck ups. And part of the narrative that has gone
- 43:41Speaker 1: a little bit viral with regard to these survivors and
- 43:44Speaker 1: the contrarian view that just starting to get a little
- 43:49Speaker 1: bit of traction. You can't get it into the mainstream
- 43:51Speaker 1: because the mainstream media is it's not in their DNA
- 43:54Speaker 1: to question any sex abuse accuser at all, especially not
- 43:58Speaker 1: in a case with this much time toxicity. But online
- 44:02Speaker 1: and some medium range influencers that type of thing, people
- 44:07Speaker 1: are starting to least ask questions, especially when there was
- 44:12Speaker 1: a resurfaced interview from Inside Edition back in twenty fifteen.
- 44:18Speaker 1: This is so classic, and this is if you're a
- 44:20Speaker 1: listener to with the benefit of hindsight about the Sandusky case,
- 44:23Speaker 1: this is gonna be very, very reminiscent, because this is amazing.
- 44:29Speaker 1: Now we're not going to play the two full clips,
- 44:31Speaker 1: and this is gonna play the first clip. There's two
- 44:33Speaker 1: clips that were put together that went viral on x.
- 44:37Speaker 1: The first is an interview from a quote unquote Epstein's
- 44:39Speaker 1: survivor in twenty fifteen, again eleven years ago, well before
- 44:47Speaker 1: Epstein killed himself in twenty nineteen. This is a woman
- 44:53Speaker 1: you're about to hear. A story by Jim Murray from
- 44:57Speaker 1: Inside Edition does a full feature on this woman and
- 45:01Speaker 1: her incredibly benign claims where she is clearly agreeing to
- 45:07Speaker 1: do an interview. She's very with it, she's very confident.
- 45:12Speaker 1: She's not being restricted in any way. There's no hesitancy.
- 45:16Speaker 1: She even jokes a little bit in the story about
- 45:19Speaker 1: her very very small role in how she was never
- 45:23Speaker 1: remotely sexually abused. Regarding the entire Epstein matter that was
- 45:29Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen, I want you to listen to this
- 45:31Speaker 1: story from twenty fifteen knowing that this person, this person
- 45:36Speaker 1: now refers to them atself as an Epstein survivor and
- 45:42Speaker 1: claims now that Epstein repeatedly abused her that she has
- 45:47Speaker 1: severe PTSD. There's that phrase PTSD. Whenever I see PTSD,
- 45:54Speaker 1: I know almost with certainty that the story is bullshit
- 45:58Speaker 1: because PTSD has become the substitute for repressed memory therapy,
- 46:04Speaker 1: which is completely bullshit, not even allowed in most courtrooms.
- 46:08Speaker 1: And what this really is is it's an excuse for
- 46:11Speaker 1: why you didn't come up with this lie earlier. So
- 46:15Speaker 1: it's PTSD. That's not even the way PTSD works, even
- 46:18Speaker 1: if it was real. But I know that PTSD is
- 46:22Speaker 1: now a synonym, a more politically correct synonym for repressed
- 46:26Speaker 1: memory therapy. And oh, by the way, she also claims
- 46:32Speaker 1: in her recent version of the story, now that she's
- 46:36Speaker 1: on the circuit, that Epstein bragged about being friends with Trump,
- 46:39Speaker 1: which may have actually happened, but The reason why she's
- 46:43Speaker 1: adding that now is because she's trying to appeal to
- 46:46Speaker 1: the media and to a certain audience. But keep in mind,
- 46:49Speaker 1: this is a woman who apparently was paid a lot
- 46:52Speaker 1: of money in settlements, a couple million dollars I believe
- 46:55Speaker 1: now says Epstein repeatedly abused her. She's got severe PTSD.
- 47:01Speaker 1: But here was her doing a feature with Inside Edition
- 47:05Speaker 1: and Jim Murray. Just over ten years ago.
- 47:09Speaker 6: She was the air hostess on board the notorious Lolita Express,
- 47:14Speaker 6: the billionaire's private jet at the center of a sex
- 47:16Speaker 6: scandal making lurid headlines across the world. Sleazy Wall Street
- 47:21Speaker 6: tycoon Jeffrey Epstein used the Lolita Express to ferry a
- 47:25Speaker 6: bevy of beautiful young women. Among the passengers former President
- 47:28Speaker 6: Bill Clinton and Britain's Prince Andrew.
- 47:30Speaker 5: On almost every trip that I did go on, the
- 47:33Speaker 5: worry young girls around.
- 47:34Speaker 6: In this Inside Edition exclusive, Chantey Davies takes us inside
- 47:39Speaker 6: the secret world of lo Lolita Express, named for the
- 47:42Speaker 6: controversial book and movie about a professor's infatuation with.
- 47:45Speaker 1: An underage girl.
- 47:48Speaker 6: Chantey made several trips on Jeffrey Epstein's infamous Lolita Express.
- 47:53Speaker 6: She says she was one of several young, attractive women
- 47:56Speaker 6: hired to travel around the world giving massages or yoga
- 47:59Speaker 6: instruction to Epstein at his rich and powerful friends. When
- 48:03Speaker 6: Chante was hired, she was a struggling twenty two year
- 48:06Speaker 6: old actress. She once played a lingerie model in a
- 48:09Speaker 6: movie called Exposed. These designs are really great. Chantey worked
- 48:14Speaker 6: as a massuse, but says she never had sex with Epstein.
- 48:17Speaker 6: Did you ever think that maybe more was going on
- 48:20Speaker 6: than simple massages?
- 48:21Speaker 1: Looking back?
- 48:22Speaker 3: Of course, was.
- 48:23Speaker 1: There a bed on the airplane? Actually? Yes, there was.
- 48:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 48:27Speaker 6: On one memorable flight on board a plane like this
- 48:29Speaker 6: provided by Air Hollywood, she says she made peanut butter
- 48:32Speaker 6: and jelly sandwiches for passengers including Oscar winner Kevin Spacey,
- 48:36Speaker 6: actor Chris Tucker, and even Bill Clinton. They were all
- 48:39Speaker 6: flying to Africa on a humanitarian mission and Jeffrey Epstein
- 48:43Speaker 6: had given them the use of his jet.
- 48:45Speaker 1: So you never get President Clinton, No, I did.
- 48:47Speaker 6: It, Chantey says. When the plane landed in Africa, Clinton
- 48:51Speaker 6: took her shopping, but she says nothing improper occurred.
- 48:54Speaker 1: They had shut down a jewelry store for us, and
- 48:57Speaker 1: I helped him pick out a bracelet for Chelsea.
- 49:00Speaker 6: It was a jet set lifestyle for sure, But Chantay
- 49:03Speaker 6: says she felt uncomfortable about being part of Epstein's collection
- 49:07Speaker 6: of young women. You saw young women around Jeffrey Epstein,
- 49:10Speaker 6: and they didn't seem to have regular jobs, and you
- 49:13Speaker 6: started wondering, why are they here?
- 49:15Speaker 1: Yes?
- 49:16Speaker 6: Yes, when you look back, are there red flags that
- 49:19Speaker 6: you should have seen at the time?
- 49:21Speaker 2: Definitely?
- 49:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 49:22Speaker 2: Why fly anyone out to be a massuse when there's
- 49:25Speaker 2: plenty of messuses in the same city that you're in.
- 49:28Speaker 6: Epstein served thirteen months in prison for soliciting an underage
- 49:32Speaker 6: girl for prostitution. Now, just looking at the front page
- 49:36Speaker 6: headlines the scandal has generated bring Chante to tears.
- 49:40Speaker 1: To have to deal with that, and then, on top
- 49:42Speaker 1: of it, defend my character.
- 49:44Speaker 6: I'll have children one day, you know, and they'll read this.
- 49:47Speaker 6: She wonders whether she'll ever be able to live down
- 49:50Speaker 6: her time on the Lolita Express.
- 49:52Speaker 1: More than anything, I just felt stupid, and yeah, I
- 49:55Speaker 1: felt duped. Folks. You just can't make it up. I mean,
- 49:59Speaker 1: that woman was telling the truth there. She's lying now.
- 50:05Speaker 1: But and this is easily documented, easily documented. But will
- 50:09Speaker 1: anybody in the mainstream news media reference her story, tell
- 50:14Speaker 1: her real story, and say, hey, wait a minute, if
- 50:18Speaker 1: she's doing this, let's take a look at some of
- 50:19Speaker 1: these others, because it's not an aberration. Again, people always
- 50:24Speaker 1: say with Sandusky, well, you're just just proving one accuser.
- 50:28Speaker 1: There were dozens that got money from Penn State. Okay,
- 50:31Speaker 1: First of all, if one is clearly lying, doesn't that
- 50:35Speaker 1: show that it was very easy to lie? And if
- 50:38Speaker 1: one is lying for millions of dollars, why can't they
- 50:40Speaker 1: all be especially when none of the stories makes sense
- 50:43Speaker 1: and they don't have any evidence. Now, Again, to be clear,
- 50:47Speaker 1: I am very convinced because Epstein killed himself and because
- 50:51Speaker 1: he pled guilty. The first time that Epstein committed crimes
- 50:55Speaker 1: of a sexual nature. He hired lots of prostitutes, some
- 50:59Speaker 1: of whom apparently were under the age of consent. That's bad,
- 51:03Speaker 1: that's criminal. That should be punished. It was punished, by
- 51:06Speaker 1: the way. The idea that he somehow got a sweetheart
- 51:08Speaker 1: deal the first time around is just not true. He
- 51:13Speaker 1: was a first time offender with a ton of money
- 51:16Speaker 1: to run his defense. Getting into plead guilty and spend
- 51:21Speaker 1: over a year in prison was pretty extraordinary. I'm not
- 51:25Speaker 1: saying he didn't deserve it, but the narrative is that
- 51:28Speaker 1: somehow he got off easy because he had friends at
- 51:30Speaker 1: high places. That's just not true. Like almost everything else
- 51:34Speaker 1: in this story, it's just not true. And so much
- 51:38Speaker 1: of this narrative is being built on the backs of
- 51:41Speaker 1: people who have a financial incentive and a life incentive
- 51:47Speaker 1: to not tell the truth and to greatly exaggerate what
- 51:51Speaker 1: really did and did not happen with regard to Epstein.
- 51:55Speaker 1: And yet still no lawsuits against any of these rich
- 51:59Speaker 1: power people that you know, the survivors claim were sex
- 52:06Speaker 1: trafficking them. They've never sued them. They keep saying they're
- 52:09Speaker 1: going to provide a list of names. They never do
- 52:12Speaker 1: because those names don't exist, and they don't want to
- 52:15Speaker 1: get sued, and they don't want to have what happened
- 52:18Speaker 1: with Geoffrey and Alan Dershowitz pick on the wrong guy
- 52:22Speaker 1: who might actually fight back. But there's all sorts of
- 52:25Speaker 1: people falling by the wayside. I mean, I don't even
- 52:28Speaker 1: have time or the inclination to talk about all the
- 52:30Speaker 1: people that have resigned or been fired, or had awards
- 52:34Speaker 1: taken away or statues take it down, or board seats
- 52:40Speaker 1: are removed, all sorts of just absurd ramifications for people
- 52:46Speaker 1: that clearly never committed any sex crime and probably didn't
- 52:51Speaker 1: even know about Epstein's sex crimes. I've used the example before.
- 52:56Speaker 1: I'm going to give an update on it right now.
- 52:58Speaker 1: Seth Wasserman, guy who I think at this moment is
- 53:02Speaker 1: still the head of the Los Angeles Olympic Committee for
- 53:04Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, although it's hard for me to believe
- 53:07Speaker 1: that he's going to be able to survive this, even
- 53:10Speaker 1: though it's absurd that this is even a question. But
- 53:13Speaker 1: he is now announced that he is selling his entertainment
- 53:16Speaker 1: representation company because there were not big names, but there
- 53:22Speaker 1: were some clients who were barreling on the company because
- 53:25Speaker 1: his name was attached to the Epstein files. Well, what
- 53:29Speaker 1: did he do? What crime did he commit? What heinous
- 53:33Speaker 1: thing did he write in an email? Oh, he wrote
- 53:37Speaker 1: a flirtatious email to Gallaine Maxwell, a woman who was
- 53:43Speaker 1: attractive and classy in her day, And I can certainly
- 53:46Speaker 1: understand a guy like Wasserman I think might have been
- 53:50Speaker 1: I think he was married at the time. I'm not sure,
- 53:51Speaker 1: but that's up. You know, it's between him and his wife.
- 53:54Speaker 1: But regardless, I can certainly understand he was clearly attracted
- 54:00Speaker 1: to Glaine. Maxwell didn't say anything crazy. He asked, you know,
- 54:06Speaker 1: how does he get to see her in a particular
- 54:07Speaker 1: outfit or get a massage or something like that? And
- 54:12Speaker 1: you know when that happened. That email was written in
- 54:15Speaker 1: two thousand and three. Two thousand and three, Jeffrey Epstein
- 54:23Speaker 1: wouldn't even plead guilty to a sex crime for like
- 54:26Speaker 1: another five or six years. He wouldn't kill himself until
- 54:31Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Glainne Maxwell wouldn't be convicted for almost twenty years,
- 54:37Speaker 1: eighteen years, eighteen years before Glene Maxwell was a known
- 54:41Speaker 1: allegedly because I think her trial was a sham, a
- 54:44Speaker 1: known child sex trafficker, quote unquote eighteen years? What what?
- 54:52Speaker 1: What are we doing? What are we doing? And so
- 54:56Speaker 1: now this guy has to sell his company and he's
- 54:58Speaker 1: probably gonna get all sorts of other punish Vince. I mean,
- 55:01Speaker 1: I'm sure that there's the knives are out for him
- 55:04Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles, because by god, he's a straight
- 55:07Speaker 1: white male in a position of some authority and leading
- 55:12Speaker 1: the Olympic committee. How can we have a straight white
- 55:15Speaker 1: male in that position and so you know, I'm My
- 55:21Speaker 1: guess is, if it hasn't happened already, they'll probably be
- 55:23Speaker 1: removed from that position. You may recall that I chied
- 55:27Speaker 1: at Elec Michaelson, who was once a guest on this program,
- 55:31Speaker 1: who has now moved on from local Fox television here
- 55:34Speaker 1: in Los Angeles to his own show on CNN in
- 55:37Speaker 1: the evenings. I chide at him because he did an
- 55:40Speaker 1: interview with a Democrat Los Angeles political person I believe
- 55:47Speaker 1: a supervisor, County supervisor or something like that, who a
- 55:50Speaker 1: female who called on Wasserman to resign his position as
- 55:55Speaker 1: the head of the Los Angeles Olympic Committee because of
- 55:59Speaker 1: this email. And Michaelson did not push back at all
- 56:04Speaker 1: on the concept of this, the legitimacy of this, or
- 56:07Speaker 1: even providing the specifics of what he had allegedly done,
- 56:10Speaker 1: and how absurd it is that and a flirtatious email
- 56:15Speaker 1: from eighteen years before she was convicted of anything, and
- 56:18Speaker 1: well before Epstein was pleading guilty to anything could possibly
- 56:22Speaker 1: result in someone losing a high profile position. And to
- 56:27Speaker 1: Alex Michaelson's you know, credit, he basically essentially apologized to
- 56:33Speaker 1: me a direct message saying he ran out of time.
- 56:36Speaker 1: He should have done it, he didn't do it. When
- 56:39Speaker 1: this news about Wasserman broke, I sent him a rather
- 56:44Speaker 1: snide comment with the story. I said, I'm sure you're
- 56:48Speaker 1: very proud of your role in his witch hunt, Alex,
- 56:51Speaker 1: and he did not respond to me, which is highly unusually.
- 56:53Speaker 1: He almost always responds. But I'm pissed off about this.
- 56:57Speaker 1: And you know, Alex is a good guy, but he's
- 57:02Speaker 1: not willing to fight back against the absurdity. And you know,
- 57:05Speaker 1: he and many other people have played their role in
- 57:07Speaker 1: this witch hunt. And by the way, playing the role,
- 57:10Speaker 1: playing a role in the witch hunt is not just
- 57:13Speaker 1: about you know, what you do say, it's about what
- 57:15Speaker 1: you don't say. It's about not standing up against it.
- 57:20Speaker 1: It's so to me, there's there should be an imperative
- 57:23Speaker 1: if we have real journalists out there, someone should be
- 57:26Speaker 1: willing to stand up and say, hold on a second,
- 57:29Speaker 1: let's take a look at the facts. Does this make
- 57:31Speaker 1: any sense? What are we doing here? What kind of
- 57:33Speaker 1: precedent are we setting? But that takes courage, and there
- 57:36Speaker 1: is no courage in the modern news media, and Alex
- 57:40Speaker 1: Michaelson certainly doesn't have it. And even though I think
- 57:43Speaker 1: he's a decent guy, certainly better than the average mainstream
- 57:47Speaker 1: legacy media person. But you know, I don't care that
- 57:51Speaker 1: he might be pissed off of me, because this is
- 57:54Speaker 1: a witch hunt. This is a moral panic, and we
- 57:59Speaker 1: are now living in an era of instantaneous social media
- 58:03Speaker 1: that's ubiquitous, that acts like gasoline on a fire that's
- 58:08Speaker 1: being blown by Santa Anna Wins. This whole situation could
- 58:13Speaker 1: not have gotten out of control before social media. That's
- 58:17Speaker 1: what's driving so much of this. Without social media, so
- 58:22Speaker 1: much of the bullshit conspiracy narrative never would have been
- 58:25Speaker 1: able to take hold. There might have been people that
- 58:28Speaker 1: were coming up with it, coming up with it or
- 58:30Speaker 1: parts of it on their own, but they wouldn't have
- 58:33Speaker 1: felt like they were justified in it because they wouldn't
- 58:36Speaker 1: be able to go online and see hundreds of thousands
- 58:39Speaker 1: of people liking the same posts that they like, or
- 58:41Speaker 1: maybe millions of people liking the same posts that they like,
- 58:45Speaker 1: and it validates their crazy opinions, and then it creates momentum,
- 58:51Speaker 1: and then people get afraid, and then it feeds on
- 58:55Speaker 1: itself because every time a Wasserman decides to sells or
- 59:00Speaker 1: the guy from DP World resigns as CEO. People think
- 59:04Speaker 1: like Thomas Massey, think, Aha, we're on the right track,
- 59:09Speaker 1: we got him. No, no, you're just facilitating a witch
- 59:15Speaker 1: hunt in the middle of a moral panic. It's the opposite.
- 59:20Speaker 1: These results aren't happening because these Epstein files have proven
- 59:24Speaker 1: anyone guilty of anything remotely close to a crime. It's
- 59:29Speaker 1: just proving what a stupid country we are. That's all
- 59:34Speaker 1: it is. It's just insanity, and I don't see it
- 59:38Speaker 1: stopping anytime soon. I wish it would. I hate talking
- 59:42Speaker 1: about this story, I really do. I will be very
- 59:45Speaker 1: happy when we do finally someday an episode of the
- 59:49Speaker 1: Death of Journalism podcasts where I'm not talking about Epstein.
- 59:51Speaker 1: But because very few people, very few people fully understand
- 59:57Speaker 1: what this story is all about and are willing and
- 59:59Speaker 1: able to articke that, I feel an obligation to do
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: so because if someone else was doing it properly, I
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: would not bother with it. But that's clearly not the case.
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: So that's the Epstein update. The Epstein update for this week.
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: By the way, I am planning on interviewing one of
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: the few people who have actually done some really good
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: journalism on this story, probably in the next episode of
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm really looking forward to that guy I've
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: not mentioned before on the podcast, so that's tentatively scheduled
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: for the next episode of the podcast. And in a
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: moment in a few minutes, when we start our interview
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: with John Yarmouth, he and I get into it about
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: Epstein as well, because he and I have a pretty strong,
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: stronger than I thought, disagreement about what that story is
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: really all about. But before we get to John Yarmyth,
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: a few thoughts about what's been going on with the
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: Winter Olympics. A lot of woken us, I mean, the
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: Olympics are obviously, you know, inherently woke because a large
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: part of wokeness is internationalism. And it's interesting that the
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: Winter Olympics, I think is maybe a little bit more
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: vulnerable to wokeness because it's so insecure about the fact
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: that it's so overwhelmingly white. I mean, the Summer Olympic Games,
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: it's the Rainbow Coalition's obviously many sports are dominated by
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: dark skinned or black people, so there's not as much insecurity.
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: But the Winter Olympics, they got us pay Snoop Dogg,
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: a ton of money. By the way, a sex trafficker himself,
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: a real sex trafficker. That's a fact. Somehow that's all
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: been forgotten. May have taken part in a murder that's
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: all been forgotten. I mean literally, I mean the records
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: are sealed in that case. I mean, what Snoop Dogg
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: has pulled offs is unbelievable. What Snoop Dogg does is
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: he sells his coolness and his blackness to white organizations
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: that are afraid of being accused of being racist, and
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: so he provides them with protection and they pay a
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: lot of money. It's a lot like the Mob used
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: to be. And so Snoop dog is like the mascot
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: for the Winter Olympics because there are hardly any black people.
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: And it's not just race though, I mean absurdly. I mean,
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: there have been some pieces of evidence that the mainStreet
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: media is very upset that there's so many white people
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: at the Winter Olympics. But what are you supposed to
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: do there? But so they've been, you know, getting their
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: panties in a bunch over how many white people are
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: at the Olympics. But there's been other issues that I
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: think are even worse. When it comes to wokeness. I
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: mentioned in the last episode in the light of Lindsey
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: Vaughn in her amazing comeback bid, not even lasting twenty
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: seconds before with a blown out acl she had a
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: terrible crash broker tibia in the skiing competition, which was
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: just terrible for everybody, herself and NBC and lots of
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: her fans in particular. But I mentioned there was a
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: woman whose story was pretty darn good who did win
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: a gold medal in skiing for the United States, by
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: the name of Breezy Johnson. And I said last week,
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: and I knew very little about her except the fact
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: that she had done a very emotional interview about essentially
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: skiing for her dad, which I thought was really cool.
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: But I knew that she wasn't going to be a
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: big marketing person getting a lot of addursed endorsements. First
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: of all, she's not famous. There was not any hype
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: about her going into the Games, which seems to be
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: a huge part of this equation. But she's also not
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: particularly attractive. I even said, unlike Lindsay Vonn, she's never
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: gonna have sex with Tiger Woods. And she's not famous,
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: so we don't really care that she won a gold medal,
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: a lot more attention on Lindsay Vaughn falling and breaking
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: her leg after sixteen seconds. But I thought at the time, well,
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: you know, Breezy Johnson deserves some more recognition and attention.
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: And then I learned that before the Olympic Games, she
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: had tried to get some attention for herself by claiming
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: that she is a bisexual, and that she wants everyone
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: to know that she's a bisexual, and that she's not
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: a straight white person. That's why this is important. She
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: literally said that I'm not a straight white person. I'm bisexual,
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: as if somehow it's a disease to be a straight
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: white person. Now, frankly, it's in my opinion, I don't
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: have a lot of knowledge in this area, but people
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: that claim to be bisexual are either lying, or they're greedy,
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: or some combination thereof, or they're very confused. But in
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: this particular case, it seems very obvious that this was
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: a political statement that hey, look, I'm going to claim
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: to be by you know, because I experimented a couple
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: times with my girlfriends because guys weren't into me, because
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: I wasn't very attractive. That's the most likely scenario that
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: happened here. So therefore I'm going to claim to be
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: by this will give me some liberal street cred, and
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: it'll try to take away some of the toxicity of
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: my whiteness and my apparent straightness. Well, the reason I'm
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: even mentioning this, although the interview itself would be ridiculous,
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: but the cherry on the top of the woke Sunday
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: is that after I think this is the right timeline,
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: after she wanted called metal, she was asked to be
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: married to marry somebody by a guy. She said yes.
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: So she is apparently now engaged to a I presume
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: a straight white male, which I'm sure is another sin
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: that she has to make give penance for that. Here
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: she is a seemingly straight white woman being engaged to
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: a straight white male. Oh my gosh, so much loss
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: of wokeness points in liberal street cred here. So I
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: just found that to be hilarious and telling, but not
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: nearly as absurd as the other story that's gotten a
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: lot of attention from the Winter Olympics involving gender. This
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: is from OutKick. This is Klay Travis's conservative sports website,
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: and this really is a story that you know you
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: would probably make up. I mean if you were the
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: Babylon b the satirical conservative website. This is a story
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: they might make up, and now they can't make it
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: up because it's actually real. Headline from OutKick. NBC apologizes
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: for pronoun usage in Women's Moguls because of course it did.
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: Sub headline. The apology came with a replay removal after
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: the Women's Moguls International broadcast referred to Ellis Lunholm a female,
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: as a she, So it's it's a woman's competition. The
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: person is a female, got a female named female bylogy,
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: The broadcast team referred to her as a she, but
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: this required an apology. OutKick described it this way, sometimes
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: real life is more satirical than even the most adapt
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: satirist on the planet. An NBC via an International Olympics
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: feed on peacock during the Milano Cortina twenty twenty six
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: Winter Olympics, decided to provide us with a perfect example
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: of this by apologizing after non NBC commentators referred to
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: female skier Ellis Lunholm as quote unquote she during the
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: women's muguls event. Seriously, this actually happened. As OutKick previously reported,
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: Lungholm has decided that she is a man due to
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: women's category eligibility policies. Lunholm reportedly does not take testosterone
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: and has not had any quote unquote gender affirming surgeries.
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: Lunholm is just a woman who cuts her hair short,
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: wears baggy clothes, and demands that everyone call her a
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: man and refer to her using he him pronouns. Now.
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: If you're confused, it's understandable. Here's the situation. A biological woman,
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: all female parts, no gender changing medication, no testosterone, no
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: gender affirming care, who is under the delusion that she
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: is a man, is participating in the woman's competition. She's
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: in the women's competition. They called her a she, and
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: they had to apologize. By the way, NBC wasn't even
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: their people. NBC felt compelled to apologize because someone competing
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: in the women's competition was referred to as a she.
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: Of course, the absurdity of this knows no bounds, because
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: to call her a he would make her, in theory,
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: ineligible to participate in the competition because it's a women's competition.
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: So I mean which is it? How come it does
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: it work in reverse? I mean, right, I mean why
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: is she not competing with the men? And we've been
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: told that it can work. Biological males can compete against
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: women if they just called themselves she called themselves a woman,
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: of course, then they have a advantage, which thankfully the
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: Olympics would ban because they've changed the rules, because even
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: the Olympics apparently has a point of insanity beyond which
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: they will not go. But I think the most ridiculous
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: part of this is that NBC felt compelled that they
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: had to apologize for someone else's quote unquote mistake. And
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: that's where we are on this. Obviously, when you talk
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: about NBC and the Olympics, you're not far from the
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: story of Savannah Guthrie and her mom, Nancy, who has
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: been missing now for well over two weeks. Savannah Guthrie
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: was scheduled to broadcast from the Winter Olympics to co
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: host the opening ceremonies for NBC, but she is in Arizona,
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: still presumably leading and helping with the search for her mom, Nancy,
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: And I really wish I had some sort of insight
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: into the story, something to tell you that no one
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: else has thought about. But I'm at a loss. I mean,
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: and I have, you know, a six degrees of separation
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: to this story because Matt Lower is my friend and
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: he was Savannah Guthrie's former co host on The Today Show,
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: and we've talked a little bit about it. I even
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: referenced some funny things that Matt said about me and
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: revolving the ring camera video that he for some reason
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: one of the joke looked like me in a mask,
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: which obviously was not. But I honestly, I don't think
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: Matt has any great insight. We've talked about some theories.
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: I don't have any great insight. To me, this is
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: one of the strangest stories based upon what we currently
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: know in a very long time. I mean, a robbery
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. The kidnapping doesn't make any sense
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: because there's been no legitimate ransom notes. I believe Anshley
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: Banfield was wrong in her original reporting, just as I
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: suspected that somehow the son in law or a son
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: in law was a suspect in the case. I think
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: Harvey Levin and TMZ have been full of shit with
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: regard to their pumping up of the idea that they
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: got a legitimate ransom note. So nothing overtly makes sense.
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: And I mean, the idea that she could ever be
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: found alive at this point seems impossible, and based upon
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: the videos that Savannah Guthrie herself has put out, it
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: certainly appears as if they acknowledge this, that they know
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: that they're just looking for a body at this point.
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: I mean, obviously there's there's the possibility that there was
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: one plan I mean, or maybe the probability there was
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: one plan that went awry and so this did not
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: go down as as planned. But I don't even understand
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: what the plan would have been. I mean, she's an
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: eighty four year old woman who can barely move. I mean,
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: Savannah Guthrie has a lot of money, but she's not
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: a billionaire. What's the value in taking her? It doesn't
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: make any sense. And I guess the only thing that
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: I still feel fairly strongly about regarding this is I
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: feel like we're flying blind here. I feel like there's
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: gonna be a piece of the puzzle that eventually we're
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: gonna know, although I'm not as confident about that as
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: I was last week, that we're eventually gonna know, we're
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: gonna where, we're gonna go, oh oh, okay, all right,
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: now we're looking at this from a completely different angle
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: and it and it makes at least a little bit
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: of sense. I still believe that's the most likely scenario,
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: but I am no longer confident that they're ever gonna
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: find her. I mean, how do you with this level
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: of publicity and this amount of manpower. I realized the
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: desert is a very vast place, and that's the most
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: likely place where she is at this point. And therefore,
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: you know, it might be years before someone finally finds
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: a body, as sad and horrific as that scenario is.
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: But it's just to me, it's just bizarre. The whole
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: story is bizarre, the fact that they have they've they've
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: not been able to find her or apparently a suspect,
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: even though they have at least one, maybe two videos
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: of obviously someone who was clearly involved in this. And
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: I still believe, I still believe that there's going to
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: be some sort of conclusion to this, but I'm not
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: positive anymore. I'm not positive. I mean, it just it
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: doesn't feel like they're super close right now. But who knows,
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: but maybe by the time you're hearing this, because there'll
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: be a couple of day a lag period, that something
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: huge will have happened. And if that indeed is the case,
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: I'll update it in the next episode of the podcast.
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: But as of right now, there is still no sign
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: of Santavannah Guthrie's mom, Nancy. It's just a horrible, tragic
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: story and things do not look good at all, but
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: I don't have any insight. If I did, I would
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: share it, but I don't. But we'll continue to keep
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: you updated on it as events warrant. Thanks for listening
