ABC Responds To The Allegations It Quashed The Amy Robach Epstein Story · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Recently we were talking about the Amy Robach tape that
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: ABC quashed so that they could keep their access to
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the royal family and some of the other so-called elite. Well,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: in the interest of fairness, I wanted to talk about
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: their response to the leak of that Amy Robach tape. Now,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: ABC says, of course they would never kill a story
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: like that. They have a lot of interest in going
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: after people like Jeffrey Epstein. But the reality is this.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: They didn't do it. They had all of the goods,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Virginia gave the interview, and they chose not to run it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: And all of the nonsense that they can pump at us,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and all of the BS that they can send our way,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: talking about how, oh, that wasn't our intent, or we
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: would never do something like that, is just ridiculous. Today
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: we have an article from NPR, headline, ABC News defends
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: its Epstein coverage after leaked video of anchor. This article
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: was authored by David Fulkenflik. Now, have you noticed with NPR,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: one of their goals is to, like, run cover for
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein's buddies? Sure, that's what it seems like, right?
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Every time you turn around, there's another NPR article out
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: here talking some kind of nonsense. A newly surfaced video
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: of an ABC news anchor, unguarded remarks about the network's
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: coverage of the late Jeffrey Epstein, has thrown ABC on
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the defensive. In a leaked video posted Tuesday by the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: right-wing activist group Project Veritas, news anchor Amy Robach expresses
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: her frustration to a colleague over ABC's failure to broadcast
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: her interview.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: With the key accuser of Epstein.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Now... We hear it for ourselves. We see what she says.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: We know what she had to say. And we know
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that she was complaining that the story was quashed. But
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: what ABC does is they get out here and they
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: try and gaslight everybody and tell them, look, that's not
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: what happened. We'll tell you exactly what happened. Robach complains
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that the network quashed her interview, suggesting that ABC had
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: yielded the threats from powerful forces, including Buckingham Palace.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: That might sound absurd at the time, right? But we
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: all know that Buckingham Palace, according to Jeffrey Berman, was
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: protecting Prince Andrew the whole entire time. So why wouldn't
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: they reach out to ABC News, where you know they
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: have contacts, and ask them to quash the story? That
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: sound so far-fetched to you?
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Not to me.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Prince Andrew is among those men whom the accuser alleges
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Epstein trafficked her to for sex. The prince's representatives have
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: denied that claim. Yeah, how did that work out? Denied
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: it to the tune of paying out millions and millions
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of dollars.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Denied it.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: ABC News executives say their journalists were simply not able
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to corroborate the details of the reporting sufficiently for the broadcast,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: which is absolute bullshit. Just take a look at the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: past six years. How many anonymous sources have they brought
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: up there? How many anonymous sources did they refer to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: about this scandal or that scandal? You have Virginia Roberts
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: up here giving you the interview and you mean to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: tell me you don't have the corroboration for it? No,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: what you don't have is the spine for it. You
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: don't have the courage for it. Imagine the company that
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: owns Disney, huh? Yeah, Disney, that wholesome family company. We
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: would never run away from that, Chris Vlastow, head of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: investigations for ABC News, tells NPR. The network has filed
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: approximately two dozen digital and broadcast stories on Epstein since
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: early 2015, when ABC started talking to the accuser, Virginia Roberts. See,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: what NPR is trying to do here is smooth it
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: all over for their boys over at ABC. And this
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: is the kind of symbiotic relationship you see within the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: legacy media. Someone will criticize NPR, or someone will criticize
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: this group, and then all of a sudden, you'll have
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: their friends at ABC coming over to whitewash it and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: gaslight to tell you what really happened. Roblox comments in
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: late August 2019 came just two days after an NPR
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: story disclosed the existence of Robert's interview and ABC's failure
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to broadcast it. In the video, Robach is sitting on
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a chair at a studio set for ABC's Good Morning America,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: at times swinging back and forth, while speaking remotely through
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: her microphone with an unseen colleague. It appears to be
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the early morning hours before broadcast or during advertising breaks.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Now remember, Project Veritas are the ones who uncovered this video,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and I don't care how you feel about their work
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: one way or the other. When you uncover a video
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: like this, this is good work. I've had the story
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: for three years, Robox says in the video. We would
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: not put it on the air. Um, first of all,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I was told, who was Jeffrey Epstein? No one knows
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: who that is. This is a stupid story. Then the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: palace found out that we had her whole allegations about
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways. Boy,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: that queen was something else, huh? That lady that everybody's
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: lining up to cry over and whimper over. She enabled
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew every step of the way.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I said it. That's how I feel. And frankly, history
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: is going to remember it that way as well. Robach
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: goes on to say that Roberts alluded to others in
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the interview, including former President Bill Clinton, Harvard University law
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: professor Alan Dershowitz, and Epstein's former girlfriend, co-conspirator, fellow child abuser,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: general all-around scumbag and bipedal serpent Ghislaine Maxwell. Roberts has
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: made similar accusations against all of them also in court documents.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: all denying any wrongdoing or involvement in Epstein's sex trafficking.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Roberts has said in court papers that she saw Clinton
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in Epstein's presence, but did not witness Clinton participate in
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: any sexual activity. Now, that's what I've heard plenty of
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: times as well. See, my problem with Bill Clinton is this, though.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: He won't even admit that he was on the island.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: He won't even admit he was at Zorro Ranch or
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: at the townhouse. And everybody lets him get away with it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Imagine sitting around and acting like what Bill Clinton was
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: doing here was no big deal. Acting like his enabling
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: of Jeffrey Epstein was no big deal. And let's not
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: make pretend that they weren't close homies. They were just
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: about closer than any of Jeffrey Epstein's other homies. Can
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you show me another picture of anyone that was in
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Epstein's circle or in Epstein's atmosphere who's wearing a blue
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: dress in a painting on his wall? I think that
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: should tell you everything you need to know about the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton. I tried for
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: three years to get it out to no avail. And
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: now these new revelations, and I freaking had all of it,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Roblox says on the tape. I'm so pissed right now. Like,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: every day I get more and more pissed. Because I'm
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: just like, oh my god.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: It was, we had it. It was unreal.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: So she's basically throwing ABC under the bus here and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: she's pissed off because she feels like she could have
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: had the scoop here. Like she could have broke this story.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: But if she really cared about this story, she would
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: have went over her superior's head and she would have
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: found a way to run it anyway. All of these
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: talking heads on TV, they're so worried about losing their
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: million dollar a year job that they won't go against
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the grain. And that's how a lot of these newsrooms are,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: even at these newspapers. Oh, sure, you have a lot
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of activists, journalists, no doubt about it. But what are
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: they really accomplishing? Let's be very honest. Just take a
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: look at their numbers, their followers. Besides the most rabid ideologues,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: nobody wants to hear what these demagogues have to say anymore.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: And these activist journalists that run around and complain and cry.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to hear it. And Amy Robach, one of
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: these big-time hotshots... Probably has a gazillion dollars in the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: bank as it is Didn't have the courage to run
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: this story didn't have the courage to go over her
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: boss's head and At the very least she could have
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: given the story off to somebody else But she didn't
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: do it, right? Dershowitz, who served as one of Epstein's
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: legal advisors, told NPR in August that he had called
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: ABC News in 2015 before the interview was supposed to
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: have been broadcast to dissuade the network from airing Roberts' allegations.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: So not only was it the palace, not only was
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: it other people. You had the cryptkeeper himself, Mr. I-kept-my-underpants-on, Mr.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Martha's Vineyard. Calling and pressing ABC not to run it,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: and then ABC doesn't run it, and they come out
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: with some bullshit.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Excuse that they expect us to believe?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: ABC said it never intended to broadcast her allegations against Dershowitz.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Yet legal scholar Dershowitz said he had called primarily on
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: his own behalf, not Epstein's, to warn ABC against giving
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Roberts a platform. I did not want to see her
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: credibility enhanced by ABC, Dershowitz told NPR. He said he
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: spoke to two producers and an attorney in a series
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: of calls in a 24-hour period. This bitch-ass son of
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a bitch, Alan Dershowitz.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Mr. I-care-about-the-world. Mr. Oh, I'm-a-great-lawyer. Mr. I'm-a-humanitarian.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: As he's running around as a peepin' tom with no
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: clothes on over on Martha's Beach playing volleyball. Fuck outta
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: here with this guy. I've had my fill of Alan
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Dershowitz bullying people. And remember, this is back in 2015.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: This didn't age well, huh? Aged like a pair of
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: socks with some Parmesan cheese in them. The first 64
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: seconds of Project Veritas' video appear to be unedited. Just
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a straight span of Roblox speaking. ABC News and Robach
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: confirmed that the video and her remarks are real. Yet,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: in a separate statement released by a spokesman for ABC News,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: they argue that Robach's frustrations do not reflect any breakdown
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: in journalistic acumen. No, they couldn't corroborate the story, man.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Had nothing to do with protecting our friends. Had nothing
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to do with protecting Prince Andrew. Instead, Roebuck and ABC
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: say they were unable to corroborate elements of some of
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the key charges from Roberts. Yeah, how does it look now, ABC?
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: All the people are in jail. Epstein dead. Maxwell convicted.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Alan Dershowitz being sued. And you smarmy ass sons of
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: bitches over at ABC hid this shit. Yeah, let me
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: go spend five grand at Disney. As the Epstein story
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: continued to unfold last summer, I was caught in a
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: private moment of frustration. I was upset that an important
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: interview I had conducted with Virginia Roberts didn't air because
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: we could not obtain sufficient corroborating evidence to meet ABC's
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: editorial standards about her allegations. But if you make any
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: allegations about people they don't like politically, they'll run it. Oh,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: this is from an unconfirmed source. This is from an
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: anonymous source. Folks, don't you see what they're doing here?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: The writing is on the wall. The legacy media has become,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you want to talk about a problem for a democracy?
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: That's the big one. That's the new buzzword, right? Oh,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: you're against democracy. Well, the fourth estate is against democracy.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: How about the way that they piecemeal the news together
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to you and only deliver pieces of it to you? Meanwhile,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: in the back room, they have the goods on all
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: of their friends and they refuse to go the extra
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: mile and light them up the way they're supposed to.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that the job of the fourth estate
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: of the media to hold powerful people to account, not
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to cover for them, not to run around and acting
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: dignit when you get caught covering for them? The interview itself,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: while I was disappointed it didn't air, didn't meet our standards.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: In the years since, no one ever told me or
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the team to stop reporting on Jeffrey Epstein. And we
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: have continued to aggressively pursue this important story.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, real aggressive. Real aggressive.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: So aggressive that I've had to spend three years going
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: over this story, checking your work, and filling in the blanks.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Real good job, Amy Robach. And by the way, folks,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not making a fraction of what this lady makes.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: At the time, not all of our reporting met our
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: standards to air, but we have never stopped investigating the story.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: The ABC News statement says, Oh, a whole six-part podcast, huh?
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: One day's worth of work for me. And you guys
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: can find it in your heart to do a whole
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: six-part project. Wow, that's real nice, ABC.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: We're just going to forget about your transgressions. We're going
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to forget that you tried to protect Prince Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Alan Dershowitz, and the rest of them. All because now
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: you're going to do a six-part documentary.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Give me a break.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Project Veritas is led by the conservative provocateur, James O'Keefe,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: who tells NPR that the tape was sent to him, unbidden,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: by an employee at ABC News. It's an entirely new
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: model for Project Veritas, O'Keefe says. In the past, O'Keefe
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: published recordings of phony donors pitching to NPR fundraising executives,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: which led to the forced departure of the network's CEO
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: in 2011, even though the tapes, as initially released, proved
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to be deceptively edited.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: That's what they'll always say.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Whenever the news gets caught with their hand in the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: cookie jar, everything's edited, everything's taken out of context, when
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the reality is the media is the ones who take
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: everything out of context.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: These guys get up here with.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Their rage porn every day, tell you to hate your neighbor,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: tell you this one's bad, that one's against democracy, this
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: one hates you.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Really? Do you really think that's what's going on here?
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Or is it they want all of this chaos, they
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: want you confused, and they want you predisposed so you're
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: not paying attention to what they're up to? Other efforts
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: to try to lure a female CNN correspondent on a
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: boat with sex toys and another to get Washington Post
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: reporters to bite on a fake accusation of rape against
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a Republican Senate candidate ran aground. In the more recent past,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: O'Keefe has run a bunch of surreptitiously recorded conversations with
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: staffers at the New York Times and CNN that have
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: yielded modest revelations and have.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Largely been ignored.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Ignored by the media because it hurts you guys. Ignored
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: by people who are running political games. Now, don't get
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: it twisted. I think James O'Keefe is kind of a tool.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: But when you have the facts and you have the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: recordings to back up what you're asserting, you know, it's
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: kind of difficult to say, oh, well, that's BS. ABC
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: now says it was stymied by a development in the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: spring of 2015, just 10 days before it flew Roberts
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: and her family from Colorado to New York City for
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the interviews. Roberts had leveled many of her accusations in
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: court papers against Epstein, Maxwell, his former girlfriend, and others
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: accused of being enablers, including Dershowitz. On April 6, 2015, U.S.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: District Judge Kenneth Mara ruled that Roberts could join a
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: legal action against federal prosecutors. She accused the federal government
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: of acting illegally by striking a deal allowing Epstein to
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: skirt federal criminal charges without informing her until after the fact.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Yet Mara also ruled that many of the specifics of
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Robert's allegations, whom she accused Epstein of trafficking her to
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and for what sexual interactions, should be struck from the record.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: So NPR here, without doing any real research or doing
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: anything to really dig into the story, thinks that they're
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: doing their boys at ABC a favor here. Well, you know,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: her statements got struck from the record.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Again, aging like some.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Parmesan cheese in a pair of socks in a dresser
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: for about 10 years.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: That's how this is aged.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: According to a network executive that put a far greater
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: burden on ABC's reporting team, led by investigative producer Jim Hill,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: when allegations are contained in court documents, they are generally
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: considered privilege under liable law, giving journalists latitude to report
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: accusations accurately, whether or not they have been substantiated out
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: of court. Once those details were removed from the formal
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: court record, ABC had to corroborate Roberts' claims more concretely
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: on its own authority, the executive said. That is such bullshit. Look,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: we've heard for the last six years the charges of
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: you're this, you're that, you're against America, you're a Russian agent.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Without any kind of charging documents to back it up?
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: But all of a sudden when you're going after Epstein
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: or you're going after Dershowitz or you're going after Prince Andrew,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: it's a whole different set of rules? And in subsequent
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: court filings, Roberts has amended some of her recollection of
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: precise dates and details in her allegations of activities that
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: occurred close to two decades ago. So basically what they're
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: saying is, oh, we didn't believe Virginia. That's what they're
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: saying here. Don't let them sugarcoat it. That's what they're saying. Boy,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: how did that work out for them? James Hill.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Give me a break.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: We would never kill a story about Bill Clinton. You'd
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: never run one either. Has anyone showed up at Bill
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Clinton's house? Where's James Hill, Mr. ABC News guy, showing
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: up at Bill Clinton's house and asking him why Hector
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Urbina hasn't updated the statement since we've heard in court
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: documents that Bill Clinton lied?
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: We're just going to forget about that, right? Oh, don't
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: worry about that. You're taking away from our chances to
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: win some political points. Give me a fucking break already.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Or we would never kill a story about Prince Andrew.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: That's what's ridiculous on its face, Vlasto, the ABC News
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: investigations chief, tells NPR.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: That's a great story. So if we could do that story,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: we would have done it. No, you wouldn't. Because you
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: could have done it, and you didn't, Mr. Vlasto.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Mr. Lion-Ass Vlasto. And I hope you hear this, because
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I think you're a liar. I think all of ABC,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the whole group of you, are liars. A whole-ass newsroom
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: with no spine. By the way, how's George Stepanopoulos doing?
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: You know, Jeffrey Epstein's buddy, Mr. Cloggs himself? Did that
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: have anything to do with you guys not running the story?
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Or maybe because Katie Couric was over there, having some dinner.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: La fangoule.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: In early July, a federal judge publicly released a huge
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: batch of documents in the Epstein case, including previously sealed
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: filings that contained many of Roberts' specific accusations. Dun-dun-dun-dun. Hey, ABC,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: you bunch of jerk-offs. Johnny Jerkoff and friends. A big
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: impediment to justice. But they'll get up there and they'll
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: tell you from their ivory tower how they're so worried
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: about the most vulnerable in society. An ABC executive says
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the network had been relaunched on the project six months earlier,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: at the start of 2019. Inspired by the success of
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: ABC's podcast on corporate fraud at Theranos, and by the
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: competition of the Miami Herald, Blasto and Hill had already
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: pointed their focus squarely back at Epstein, ABC's says, all
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: because of competition. They felt like they were getting out-marketed.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with justice for these people. They
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: then had to scramble when federal authorities brought new charges
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: against Epstein and once more when he died. So look,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: ABC has been in the bag for Epstein's homies since
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: day one. And unlike other people, I just don't talk
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: about that shit.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Here's the receipts to prove it.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: So next time you hear somebody on ABC getting up
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: there on their pedestal shouting down to you from their
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: ivory tower, remember that that network killed this story in 2015.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: And remember that Jeffrey Epstein continued to molest, rape, and
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: abuse people all the way up to his arrest. So ABC,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: you failed. You protected Epstein. You protected his human trafficking network.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: And those are just the facts. If you'd like to
• 20:47
