Purity Test Politics: Epstein Files and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s MAGA Fallout · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:02
  Epstein Chronicles. So Ever, since Donald Trump started talking about
• 0:08
  Jeffrey Epstein, we've heard several different reasons as to why
• 0:12
  their friendship collapsed. Well, now we're getting a story from
• 0:16
  the Wall Street Journal that was told by a former
• 0:20
  employee of mar A Lago who said that she was
• 0:24
  called to Jeffrey Epstein's house for some sort of house
• 0:27
  call and he attempted to assault her. So when she
• 0:31
  got back to mar A Lago, she reported this incident,
• 0:35
  according to the Wall Street Journal, and that led to
• 0:38
  Donald Trump barring Jeffrey Epstein from mar A Lago and
• 0:43
  from the services. And we have to keep in mind
• 0:46
  at the time, Jeffrey Epstein was not somebody that was
• 0:50
  under police suspicion yet, so it wasn't like he was
• 0:54
  already a convicted offender. We have to be honest with
• 0:57
  the conversation. But with that said, Trump has told us
• 1:00
  a whole bunch of different versions of this story, so
• 1:03
  which one's the truth? And honestly, the only thing that
• 1:06
  we can take from all of this is that Jeffrey
• 1:09
  Epstein and Donald Trump did have a relationship and at
• 1:13
  some point they had a falling out, And this is
• 1:17
  what I mean about Donald Trump creating his own problems.
• 1:20
  If he would just be forthright and tell everybody about
• 1:24
  the relationship with Epstein throughout the years, he could have
• 1:27
  avoided a lot of this trouble. But instead they're engaging
• 1:31
  now in an ongoing cover up to cover up the
• 1:33
  cover up, and I've never seen anything like it. And
• 1:37
  the more they talk, the more they bullshit, the deeper
• 1:40
  that hole gets, because this isn't going away. If they
• 1:44
  think that it's going to fade into the background and
• 1:47
  there's never going to be ramifications, they're crazy. At some point,
• 1:51
  Donald Trump's not going to be president anymore. And then
• 1:54
  what we've already seen how things go for former officials
• 1:59
  now in this country, like we live in a Banana republic.
• 2:03
  So do you really think the next administration if their
• 2:05
  Democrats aren't going to call for a full review of
• 2:08
  what's going on with Epstein and with the files. They
• 2:12
  most certainly are. And that's why I think that employees
• 2:15
  of the DOJ better be very very careful with what
• 2:18
  they're doing and with what kind of nonsense they're getting
• 2:21
  themselves involved in, because this is the kind of thing
• 2:25
  that not only run's careers, but could end up putting
• 2:27
  people in prison down the line. I mean, there's a
• 2:30
  law on the books that says you have to release
• 2:32
  those files. So if you're playing games to protect people,
• 2:36
  what should be the penalty for that? In my opinion,
• 2:40
  you should go to prison. Today's article is from The Independent,
• 2:44
  and the headline new report digs in on details of
• 2:47
  the incident that reportedly caused Trump to ban Epstein from
• 2:51
  our A Lago. This article was authored by Joe Summerlad
• 2:56
  and I was going to go to the actual article
• 2:58
  at the Wall Street Journal, but it's behind a paywall
• 3:01
  and I'm not giving them one single dollar. Jeffrey Epstein
• 3:05
  was never a fee paying member of President Donald Trump's
• 3:08
  mar A Lago club in Florida, but routinely received home
• 3:12
  visits from staff members sent to provide massages and manicures.
• 3:16
  A new report is alleged is that something that is
• 3:19
  an offer from mar A Lago to all members, we
• 3:23
  send beutitions to your home. What does that even mean?
• 3:27
  So we're gonna have to go back and take a
• 3:28
  look at how prevalent that was and how many girls
• 3:32
  were sent from mar Alago to Jeffrey Epstein's house probably
• 3:36
  a pretty important part of the story, you know. And
• 3:38
  of course it's going to be important to know how
• 3:40
  many other people they were providing that same service for,
• 3:43
  so we can see if it's something that was common
• 3:46
  or if it was something that was just offered to
• 3:48
  people like well, Jeffrey Epstein. And if mar A Lago
• 3:52
  doesn't have, you know, records of other people doing this
• 3:56
  or going to other people's houses, that's gonna be a
• 3:59
  big problem. I mean, why were they sending girls to
• 4:02
  Jeffrey Epstein and nobody else. And again, look, we're not
• 4:05
  at that point yet. We don't have all the details
• 4:07
  here about who was being sent where or at what time.
• 4:11
  But it definitely doesn't look good for mar A Lago
• 4:14
  and it certainly doesn't look good for Donald Trump. Former
• 4:17
  employees of Trump's Palm Beach estate told The Wall Street
• 4:20
  Journal that the house calls took place around the late
• 4:23
  nineteen nineties and early two thousands and went on for years,
• 4:27
  even as young female employees warned each other about Epstein's
• 4:30
  predilection for being sexually suggestive and exposing himself during the appointments.
• 4:36
  And this is what I say, all the time about
• 4:37
  people acting like they didn't know they knew Jeffrey Epstein
• 4:41
  was a degenerate fuck from Jump Street. He was somebody
• 4:46
  that was doing all kinds of disgusting shit for years,
• 4:50
  and everybody knew what was up. Maybe they didn't know
• 4:52
  all the details, but they knew he was a disgusting bastard.
• 4:55
  And how many of those people just looked the other
• 4:57
  way and sent more women and girls directly into the
• 5:00
  belly of the beast, A whole hell of a lot
• 5:03
  of them, that's how many. The former staff members told
• 5:07
  The Wall Street Journal that the house calls were an
• 5:10
  occasional service offered to SPAW members, although Epstein was not
• 5:14
  a member. They said they alleged that Trump had told
• 5:17
  them to treat them like one, and that Epstein had
• 5:19
  an account where appointments were booked for him by Glenn Maxwell,
• 5:23
  his accomplice and then girlfriend, well let's just call her
• 5:26
  an associate. Guys like Jeffrey Epstein don't really have girlfriends
• 5:30
  the way most normal people would, but certainly somebody that
• 5:35
  was intimately involved with him. Maxwell reportedly frequented the club herself,
• 5:40
  making use of Epstein's account, and used the SPA to
• 5:43
  recruit young SPA workers for side jobs, which weren't authorized
• 5:47
  by the club. However, Epstein's relationship with mar A Lago
• 5:51
  ended abruptly in two thousand and three, according to the
• 5:54
  Wall Street Journal sources, when an eighteen year old beautician
• 5:57
  returned to the club and told its Human Reason Sources
• 6:00
  team that he had pressure for sex. Well, that's certainly
• 6:04
  good for mar A Lago, right, the fact that they
• 6:07
  ended this relationship after the report was filed. But the
• 6:11
  problem is that they were sending these girls in the
• 6:14
  first place. Why are you sending these girls to somebody
• 6:17
  like Epstein who's not even a member. Would that benefit
• 6:20
  be given to just anyone or somebody who was a
• 6:23
  very very close friend. That's what we should be asking
• 6:26
  ourselves at this point, because there's no doubt that they
• 6:30
  were very close friends for quite some time, and there's
• 6:33
  also no doubt, just to be real, that they did
• 6:36
  have a falling out. My issue is, with all the
• 6:39
  different versions that we've heard of the falling out, I
• 6:43
  have no doubt that there was one, But what caused it,
• 6:45
  I still think that's up in the air. Now. This
• 6:49
  new report by the Wall Street Journal is adding some
• 6:52
  context for sure, but even then it's very difficult to
• 6:56
  figure out what's what right to navigate the truth from
• 6:59
  the bullet because they've piled the bullshit so high. A
• 7:06
  manager responded by sending Trump a fax were laying the
• 7:09
  employee's accusation against the wealthy financier, and urged them to
• 7:13
  ban Epstein, to which the future president replied by saying
• 7:17
  it was a good letter and agreeing it was appropriate
• 7:20
  to sever tie. The beutician's complaint was never passed on
• 7:24
  to the Palm Beach Police, well it should have been.
• 7:27
  And look to give Trump credit if that's how we responded,
• 7:31
  good for him, because anybody who's trying to do that
• 7:34
  to your employees is somebody you don't want a round.
• 7:38
  But I think the bigger question is why were these
• 7:41
  bututicians going there in the first place, especially considering that
• 7:46
  it's a benefit so they say for members, and Epstein
• 7:49
  wasn't even a member. So we're definitely going to have
• 7:51
  to get some more context here, and we're gonna have
• 7:54
  to hear some more information from the people that were involved.
• 7:58
  Trump has not been accused of doing in relation to Epstein,
• 8:01
  who took his own life in a new York City
• 8:04
  jail in August of twenty nineteen, allegedly while awaiting trial
• 8:08
  on sex trafficking charges, but his face consistent pressure this
• 8:12
  year to explain their past friendship. The accounts supplied by
• 8:16
  The Wall Street Journal tally's with Trump's claim that he
• 8:19
  kicked Epstein out of mar A Lago around two thousand
• 8:22
  and four for being a creep. White House Press Secretary
• 8:25
  Carolyn Levitt told the newspaper Tuesday, it was writing up
• 8:29
  fallacies and innuendo in order to smear President Trump. I
• 8:33
  don't think that's a smear. I think that if that
• 8:36
  story's true, it's actually a mark in the positive department
• 8:40
  for Trump. I mean, if it's true and he acted
• 8:43
  right away to Ben Epstein, good for him. But there's
• 8:47
  more to the story, and I think that we're starting
• 8:50
  to get a little bit more of the context here,
• 8:53
  and I think as we move forward, we're going to
• 8:56
  get more. But one thing's for sure. The official narrative
• 9:00
  that we've been told just doesn't add up. And I
• 9:03
  think that it was more than just what we're being
• 9:05
  told about this situation with a Beutitian or women from
• 9:10
  mar A Lago that might have been recruited by Epstein
• 9:13
  and Maxwell, and it probably has something to do with
• 9:16
  a situation that's more personal between Trump and Epstein, maybe
• 9:21
  some kind of business deal that went wrong, maybe alone, whatever,
• 9:26
  But there's certainly more to the story. The Independent is
• 9:30
  reached out to the White House for further comment. The
• 9:33
  Wall Street Journal report goes on to allege that Trump
• 9:36
  and Epstein continued to cross paths after he was banned
• 9:39
  from mar A Lago, and that the pair found themselves
• 9:42
  in direct competition for au Palm Beach property up for
• 9:45
  auction in late two thousand and four, with Trump coming
• 9:48
  out on top in the bidding process. So that definitely
• 9:51
  played a part too. When you have two guys like
• 9:53
  Epstein and Trump and they're going after a property like that,
• 9:56
  it's going to leave animosity with the person who didn't
• 9:59
  get the property, because, as you all know, people like
• 10:02
  this think the whole last world revolves around them and
• 10:05
  every decision should fall in their favor. Trump and Epstein
• 10:09
  both The pressure on the President to provide justice for
• 10:12
  Epstein's survivors ramped up in July when the DOJ and
• 10:17
  the FBI issued a joint memo stating that there was
• 10:20
  no client list in existence, detailing the late pedophiles powerful friends,
• 10:25
  and that conspiracy theory is alleging he was murdered in
• 10:28
  jail were false. Well, folks, it's a rap. We can
• 10:31
  pack it all in. The DOJ told us that there's
• 10:33
  nothing to see here, and everything's just a bunch of bs,
• 10:36
  just a lone predator, you conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, the whole
• 10:40
  entire file is connecting them to other people. The memo
• 10:46
  only served to revive interest in the case, however, and
• 10:49
  set in motion a call for the DOJ to release
• 10:52
  all government files on Epstein, which resulted in the Epstein
• 10:55
  Files Transparency Act near unanimously passing Congress in Ovember and
• 11:01
  the first tranch of documents and photographs being made available
• 11:04
  via the department's website on December nineteenth. A second, much
• 11:09
  larger tranch was published on December twenty third, and the
• 11:12
  DOJ has since said it's uncovered over a million more
• 11:15
  documents possibly tied to the Epstein case, and that'll take
• 11:19
  weeks to release them all. Well, I guess they can
• 11:23
  just do whatever they want, right, Oh, there's a law
• 11:26
  who cares. We don't give a shit. We're gonna slam
• 11:29
  dance on your grave. Fuck the constitution, fuck the law,
• 11:33
  fuck the American people, basically what they're saying. Trump is
• 11:37
  suing the Wall Street Journal for reporting on the existence
• 11:39
  of a leud fiftieth birthday letter he allegedly sent to
• 11:42
  Epstein in January two thousand and three, which was subsequently
• 11:46
  uncovered by the dead man's estate in response to a
• 11:49
  subpoena by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee. The President
• 11:54
  has denied authorship of the letter, but the newspaper has
• 11:57
  argued its reporting was accurate and seeking to have the
• 12:01
  lawsuit dismissed. You know what's funny about that whole entire
• 12:04
  birthday card. They sure were quick to be able to
• 12:07
  come out and say that the letter to Nasser by
• 12:10
  Jeffrey Epstein was fake. We haven't had any of that
• 12:13
  confirmation one way or the other about the birthday card.
• 12:16
  Should be pretty easy, right without quickly they were able
• 12:20
  to come out and say that the Nassa letter was fake.
• 12:22
  Shouldn't they be able to do the same about this
• 12:25
  birthday greeting that Trump allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein. I
• 12:29
  would think so, and you would think that they'd want
• 12:31
  to do that to put that to bed, right. So,
• 12:34
  I have a funny feeling that lawsuit isn't going anywhere,
• 12:37
  and I think that when all the said and done,
• 12:39
  it's going to be dismissed by the court. But we'll
• 12:41
  keep an eye on it. And as far as the
• 12:43
  relationship between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, I think that
• 12:47
  only two things are clear at this point, one that
• 12:50
  they were friends and two that they did have some
• 12:54
  kind of falling out. It's everything in between that we
• 12:58
  still have to figure out. So Oh, like usual, will
• 13:01
  continue swimming through all this muck and all this bs
• 13:04
  as we continue to look for some clarity. All of
• 13:07
