Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / The Federal Gun Violation That Should Have Put Epstein’s NPA Back Under the Microscope (8/13/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
- 0:03Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. When I talk about Jeffrey Epstein being in
- 0:09Speaker 1: violation of the terms of his parole and the terms
- 0:12Speaker 1: of the NPA, it's not just one thing. We're talking
- 0:16Speaker 1: about multiple instances of him being in violation of the NPA,
- 0:21Speaker 1: And the fact that the NPA is still standing is
- 0:24Speaker 1: yet another indictment on the DOJ because they could get
- 0:28Speaker 1: rid of this NPA tomorrow today if they want to.
- 0:33Speaker 1: But there's no desire, is there, because they know that
- 0:36Speaker 1: the NPA gives them cover as well. Well, we can't
- 0:40Speaker 1: investigate that, you know, there's a non prosecution agreement and
- 0:43Speaker 1: we can't look further into those details, you know how
- 0:46Speaker 1: it goes. The reality, though, is that the NPA should
- 0:50Speaker 1: be done away with, and that's something that the DOJ
- 0:52Speaker 1: can do on their own. They don't need any approval,
- 0:55Speaker 1: they don't need the President to tell them it's okay,
- 0:58Speaker 1: they don't need Congress. They can get rid of that
- 1:01Speaker 1: deal because Jeffrey Epstein was in violation of it. Now
- 1:06Speaker 1: what they'll say is, well, he's dead, what does it matter.
- 1:09Speaker 1: It does matter because the NPA is still inhibiting the investigation,
- 1:15Speaker 1: so they'll do a bunch of gymnastics and they'll try
- 1:17Speaker 1: and avoid the actual truth. But the truth is the
- 1:21Speaker 1: sole reason that this NPA is still standing is because
- 1:24Speaker 1: the federal government finds it useful. Today we have an
- 1:28Speaker 1: article from Radar Online and the headline Epstein committed federal
- 1:32Speaker 1: crime as he was in possession of firearms and notorious
- 1:36Speaker 1: Zorro ranch after the two thousand and eight conviction. And
- 1:39Speaker 1: you can add that to the fact that Jeffrey Epstein
- 1:42Speaker 1: was still seeing women while he was on probation, and
- 1:45Speaker 1: not only seeing them, but according to them, abusing them.
- 1:49Speaker 1: And considering all those facts, and considering the fact that
- 1:52Speaker 1: the DOJ, the State of Florida and everybody else knew
- 1:56Speaker 1: that brings us to a very uncomfortable place. And that
- 1:59Speaker 1: place is all these people knew exactly what he was doing,
- 2:03Speaker 1: knew that he was in violation of that deal, but
- 2:06Speaker 1: thought you were too stupid to ever figure it out.
- 2:09Speaker 1: But now that you're hip to it, all of a sudden,
- 2:11Speaker 1: you should just move on, and you should forget everything
- 2:14Speaker 1: you've seen and everything you know. This article was authored
- 2:17Speaker 1: by Brian Brunetti. Jeffrey Epstein had firearms at his notorious
- 2:22Speaker 1: or O ranch following his two thousand and eight conviction,
- 2:25Speaker 1: read uronline dot Com can reveal and this is something
- 2:29Speaker 1: that we already knew, but we get confirmation by the
- 2:33Speaker 1: new Mexico interim report that they just put out. And
- 2:37Speaker 1: I think for the people that have been following this
- 2:39Speaker 1: story for a long time, that's what the Epstein files
- 2:43Speaker 1: really were, right, a confirmation to everything that we've been
- 2:46Speaker 1: talking about. At the time, the predator pleaded guilty to
- 2:52Speaker 1: one count of soliciting prostitution and one count of soliciting
- 2:55Speaker 1: prostitution from someone under the age of eighteen, and despite
- 2:59Speaker 1: the lead prosecutor in the case pushing for at least
- 3:02Speaker 1: eighteen years behind bars, Epstein served only thirteen months in
- 3:06Speaker 1: a county jail, spending most of his time on work release.
- 3:10Speaker 1: And we all know what he was doing while he
- 3:12Speaker 1: was out on work release. So if you think that
- 3:15Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein was ever properly punished, you're a moron. And
- 3:21Speaker 1: remember that's the basis that people use to try and
- 3:24Speaker 1: defend what's going on. Now, Well, this has been investigated.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Nobody found anything, There's nobody else involved, and that's the
- 3:33Speaker 1: laziest way to diagnose this, and it tells me you
- 3:37Speaker 1: have no idea what you're talking about. Either that or
- 3:40Speaker 1: you're dishonest, And either way, at this point, I don't
- 3:45Speaker 1: have any patience for fools. Details of Epstein being in
- 3:49Speaker 1: possession of weapons following his conviction were compiled in the
- 3:52Speaker 1: New Mexico Survivor's Truth Commission, which released an interim report
- 3:56Speaker 1: after the Department of Justice was accused of fumbling the
- 4:00Speaker 1: Epstein files. Well, we know he had guns because there
- 4:03Speaker 1: was a robbery and people stole guns from the property,
- 4:06Speaker 1: and we talked about this years ago. So there's no
- 4:09Speaker 1: doubt that Jeffrey Epstein was in possession of guns. The
- 4:13Speaker 1: real question is why didn't the federal government do anything
- 4:17Speaker 1: about it. Available documentation indicates that Epstein was in possession
- 4:24Speaker 1: of firearms both before and after his two thousand and
- 4:27Speaker 1: eight Florida felony conviction for a solicitation of a prostitute,
- 4:31Speaker 1: which would have been a federal and state crime. The
- 4:34Speaker 1: report noted the evidence further shows that Epstein maintained and
- 4:39Speaker 1: exercise positive control of firearms on Zoro Ranch at a
- 4:43Speaker 1: time when he was a convicted felon. According to the
- 4:47Speaker 1: EFTA documentation from July of two thousand and nine. Policy
- 4:51Speaker 1: states that security officers either directly or indirectly employed to
- 4:55Speaker 1: secure the person or a property of Jeffrey Epstein. Well,
- 4:59Speaker 1: that was the cover store. But the truth is that
- 5:01Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein was the one that was in possession of
- 5:04Speaker 1: these firearms. So why is it okay for Epstein, a
- 5:07Speaker 1: convicted felon, to have those guns, but not for a
- 5:10Speaker 1: regular person who's been convicted of a felony tone firearms.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Do you think their deal would have stood or do
- 5:17Speaker 1: you think that their NPA would have been taken from
- 5:19Speaker 1: them and they would have went to prison. We all
- 5:21Speaker 1: know the answer to that. Mister Epstein is a convicted felon,
- 5:25Speaker 1: having been convicted in the state of Florida for a
- 5:27Speaker 1: violation a Florida statute section seven ninety six dot three
- 5:31Speaker 1: second degree felony and section seven ninety six dot seven
- 5:36Speaker 1: four C three, third degree felony. The police stated it's
- 5:40Speaker 1: a Class C federal crime for a convicted felon to
- 5:43Speaker 1: knowingly possess a firearm or ammunition. Well, yeah, and it
- 5:49Speaker 1: would have been nice if somebody would have enforced those laws.
- 5:53Speaker 1: But I guess when we're dealing with Jeffrey Epstein, that's
- 5:56Speaker 1: not in the cards. According to the compiled details in
- 5:59Speaker 1: the report, Epstein appeared to have owned dozens of firearms
- 6:03Speaker 1: spread across several of his properties, including his residences in
- 6:06Speaker 1: Florida and the US Virgin Islands. He also held a
- 6:09Speaker 1: Florida concealed carry license throughout the nineties. Well, he was
- 6:14Speaker 1: a gun runner. So is anybody shocked that he had
- 6:17Speaker 1: a big collection of guns. He had access to all
- 6:19Speaker 1: kinds of shit. Oh, what nobody told you about him
- 6:22Speaker 1: running guns? Before? It was people, it was guns, and
- 6:26Speaker 1: that's where Epstein got his start. So nobody should be
- 6:30Speaker 1: shocked that he has a cabinet full of firearms. Epstein
- 6:34Speaker 1: also reportedly went on shooting trips with notable and powerful
- 6:38Speaker 1: figures Following his conviction. The Epstein files noted that the
- 6:42Speaker 1: sex offender reached out to his lawyers via email to
- 6:45Speaker 1: know if he was allowed to own guns. Can you
- 6:47Speaker 1: research to see if the governor can restore my civil
- 6:50Speaker 1: rights and allow me to own a gun? Epstein asked
- 6:54Speaker 1: lawyer Erica Keller Halls in the Virgin Islands in twenty fourteen.
- 6:58Speaker 1: In response, told her a client. I looked, he can't
- 7:02Speaker 1: and you don't need a gun. You can hire people
- 7:05Speaker 1: with guns. Well that's not good enough for Epstein. He
- 7:08Speaker 1: has to have the gun. Right, I have to have
- 7:11Speaker 1: a gun. I'm Jeffrey Epstein. The rules don't apply to me.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Before his conviction, Epstein had reached out to his employees
- 7:17Speaker 1: to notify him of where his guns should be stored,
- 7:21Speaker 1: and in some instances ordered them to purchase their own
- 7:24Speaker 1: weapons to be used on his properties. According to the
- 7:28Speaker 1: files previously released by the DOJ, Epstein had vast knowledge
- 7:32Speaker 1: of where his guns were located and was concerned about
- 7:35Speaker 1: what would happen to them. Meanwhile, the Truth Commission, led
- 7:39Speaker 1: by four members of the state's House of Representatives, also
- 7:43Speaker 1: compiled alleged incidents that occurred between Epstein and his victims
- 7:47Speaker 1: at Zoro Ranch. One victim, identified as Jane O three
- 7:51Speaker 1: in the report, provided a statement at Glene Maxwell sentencing.
- 7:54Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, Epstein's former madam was sentenced to
- 7:59Speaker 1: twenty years behind bars. Well, if that's what you want
- 8:02Speaker 1: to call it, I wouldn't exactly call her little adventure
- 8:06Speaker 1: at this camp being behind bars. Sure she's locked up,
- 8:11Speaker 1: Sure she doesn't have her freedom, but is she really
- 8:14Speaker 1: paying the price for what she did? Not my opinion.
- 8:18Speaker 1: According to Jane do Three, she was abused on Zoro
- 8:21Speaker 1: Ranch in two thousand and four when she was fifteen
- 8:24Speaker 1: years old. I flew on Jeffrey Epstein's plane to Zorro Ranch,
- 8:28Speaker 1: where I was sexually molested by him for many hours,
- 8:31Speaker 1: she testified. At the time, Jane do Three recalled feeling powerless,
- 8:35Speaker 1: especially after he positioned me by laying me on his
- 8:38Speaker 1: floor so that I was confronted by all the frame
- 8:40Speaker 1: photographs on his dresser of him smiling with wealthy celebrities
- 8:44Speaker 1: and politicians. Epstein was found dead behind bars in twenty
- 8:49Speaker 1: nineteen while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. So the
- 8:53Speaker 1: thing about Zoro Ranch that always really got me is
- 8:56Speaker 1: the fact that we know so little about what went on,
- 8:59Speaker 1: how many people were abused, how many people never came forward,
- 9:04Speaker 1: how many people know what went on there? And if
- 9:09Speaker 1: there was ever a real investigation, we would have learned that.
- 9:12Speaker 1: But how can anyone ever think that we're going to
- 9:14Speaker 1: get a real investigation if this NPA is still active.
- 9:19Speaker 1: This thing has to go, and it has to go now.
- 9:24Speaker 1: I think that there's ample evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was
- 9:26Speaker 1: in violation of the non prosecution agreement and the terms
- 9:30Speaker 1: of his probation, and we should retroactively go back and
- 9:34Speaker 1: remove that NPA. And if we do that, then the
- 9:38Speaker 1: protection for everybody else named and unnamed goes away as well.
- 9:43Speaker 1: And if you're wondering why they won't do it, that's
- 9:45Speaker 1: the reason they don't want the NPA gone. They want
- 9:49Speaker 1: the NPA to stand firm so they can use it
- 9:51Speaker 1: as an excuse. Oh, we can't investigate X, Y and
- 9:54Speaker 1: Z because of the NPA. Well, the NPA doesn't let
- 9:57Speaker 1: us do this, that or the other thing. Glenn Maxwell, Well,
- 10:02Speaker 1: I'm protected by the NPA. I should be able to
- 10:04Speaker 1: use that. Even Prince Andrew tried to use the NPA
- 10:08Speaker 1: as a defense. So if there's any real hurdle still
- 10:12Speaker 1: standing in the way of true transparency, I think the
- 10:16Speaker 1: NPA is certainly one of the biggest. And with all
- 10:20Speaker 1: this information, all this quote unquote new information, you would
- 10:24Speaker 1: think that the DOJ would be interested in taking another
- 10:27Speaker 1: look at the NPA, But of course they're not. And unfortunately,
- 10:32Speaker 1: with Todd Blanche leading this dog and pony show, my
- 10:36Speaker 1: guess is the NPA isn't going anywhere for quite some time,
- 10:40Speaker 1: but I think it needs to be a focus of
- 10:42Speaker 1: the debate and a focus of the conversation, and hopefully
- 10:46Speaker 1: that's exactly where this all ends up. But either way,
- 10:49Speaker 1: we'll be following along and when we have something else
- 10:52Speaker 1: to add, we'll get it added to the catalog. All
- 10:55Speaker 1: the information that goes with this episode can be found
- 10:58Speaker 1: in the description box.
