The Man Who Bought Epstein's Palm Beach Mansion And His Vision For It · The Epstein Chronicles

0:01
Speaker 1: We have a bit of a development, some new information,
0:05
some more context on the plans for Jeffrey Epstein's Palm
0:10
Beach mansion. Now we know that it was purchased by
0:14
Michael Glazer, and we know that he wanted to knock
0:18
it down and rebuild it, and it looks like those
0:22
plans are moving forward and he wants to have this
0:25
all accomplished by April. Now we read an article previously
0:31
from the Planning Commission down there in Palm Beach, and
0:35
they seem to be on board with this idea and
0:39
this project that mister Glazer was going to undertake, because
0:45
you know, they didn't want this eyesore there the neighbors,
0:49
the community. They don't want people coming there and looking
0:53
at this house and gawking at this house and staring
0:55
at this house, and you know, it's just not a
0:59
good look for the neighbor or property values. So I
1:03
never thought for a second that the Planning Commission or
1:06
council or whatever you want to call it would not
1:10
be okay with him knocking this place down. And all
1:14
signs point to him getting the okay and this project
1:19
beginning very very soon. Like I said, I think it
1:23
would be a great idea if he offered the survivors
1:27
the chance to come in with some sledge hammers and
1:30
do a little bit of remodeling themselves. I know it's
1:33
not much, but I think that if I was in
1:37
a position where I could go to a place where
1:39
I was abused and take out some of my frustration
1:43
on the walls with a sledgehammer, hey, I think I'd
1:46
be all up for it. So I think that would
1:49
be a cool gesture from mister Glazer here, and I
1:53
wouldn't doubt if some of these survivors wouldn't take them
1:56
up on it and head back there and get their
1:59
smash on. Because as we know, destroying shit is therapeutic, right.
2:02
They have those places where you smash the dishes, They
2:05
have places where you destroy cars with sledgehammers or bats,
2:09
or you pick your weapon. So we know that it's
2:14
cathartic to destroy some shit sometimes, And if I was Glazer,
2:18
I would at the very least, at the very least
2:21
put out that kind of offer. But either way, the
2:26
fact that he's going to destroy this, get rid of
2:29
this eyesore, get rid of this den of horror, and
2:32
put something new there in its place, something hopefully beautiful.
2:36
I think that's a good thing for the community, and
2:39
I certainly think it's a good thing for the survivors
2:42
to know that not only is Epstein gone, his legacy
2:47
tarnished and smashed, but the very houses that he conducted
2:51
this abuse in are also either getting destroyed or undergoing
2:56
huge facelifts. And that is exactly what we're going to
3:00
be talking about in tonight's article in regards to the
3:05
Palm Beach mansion. This article is from the Daily Mail
3:10
headline Jeffrey Epstein's eighteen million dollar Florida Beach estate to
3:15
be demolished. Developer who bought the property wants to destroy
3:20
the home by April and build a new pad. I
3:23
like when they have like the hip lingo in these headlines,
3:26
build a new pad always cracks me up. But it's
3:31
a good plan. Right, Let's get this thing destroyed, let's
3:34
get it out of the way, and let's get something
3:36
else built there in its place. And while it's just
3:40
a small, little tiny fraction of the process, I think
3:45
it's nice to know that for these survivors and anybody
3:50
else who might have been involved abused by Jeffrey Epstein,
3:53
to know that that property on a brio way is
3:58
no longer going to be the ey sore that it
4:01
is now the stain where Jeffrey Epstein and his co
4:06
conspirators abused all of these girls. You can't get rid
4:10
of the memories, obviously, but you can get rid of
4:12
the place where the abuse took place. And I love that.
4:17
That's what's going on here now. Don't get me wrong.
4:20
That's not the motivation for this man, right. He's a businessman.
4:25
He's about making money. He knows destroying this place and
4:28
erecting a new, more modern property is going to put
4:32
more dollars in his pocket. But that's okay. Our goals aligned.
4:37
Our end game is the same, getting rid of this property.
4:41
And if he's making a few bucks on it, hey
4:42
good for him. This article was authored by James Gordon.
4:51
The Florida mansion where Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused young girls
4:55
has been bought by a real estate developer who plans
4:58
to demolish it, but he needs to ask for permission
5:01
from the neighbors before raising it to the ground. Again,
5:06
put yourself in the shoes of these neighbors. I highly
5:08
doubt any one of these people is going to be like, no,
5:11
I object. I don't want you to knock down this
5:14
disgusting place where all of this heinous crime took place.
5:18
I want you to keep it right next door to
5:20
my house so I can explain to my kids what
5:23
happened there. Highly doubt that conversation's happening. Pretty sure most
5:27
people are going to be like, when are you showing
5:30
up with the wrecking ball and the demolition crew? Todd.
5:35
Michael Glazer, a Florida real estate developer, has signed a
5:39
contract to buy the property and is hoping to close
5:42
on it by January fifteenth, a mere few days away, folks,
5:47
So it shouldn't be long before mister Glazer has all
5:51
of this wrapped up, has a bow on it, and
5:54
has himself a nice new piece of property in Palm Beach,
5:59
a piece of prom by the way, that is absolutely gorgeous.
6:03
I don't mean the house, I mean the property with
6:06
one hundred and twenty feet of intracoastal waterway. The views, beautiful,
6:12
pristine property, and I'm sure that whatever mister Glazer decides
6:17
to put there is going to be epic. Anytime you
6:23
have that kind of property sitting on a waterway like that,
6:26
I'm sold. I could sit there, fish, listen to music, Yep,
6:30
count me in, and it just it just boggles my
6:33
mind to think about it. To have all of that power,
6:36
all of that wealth, I know, I say it all
6:38
the time, but it's a point that needs to be
6:39
driven home. And to use all of that power and
6:42
all that wealth for the things that these people used
6:45
it for is just I can't comprehend it. I can't
6:48
wrap my mind around it. That is just evil personified.
6:56
He plans to tear the property down and replace it
6:58
with a fourteen thousand square art modern home, and if
7:02
everything goes according to plan, he hopes to have the
7:05
place flattened before April first, So coming up very quickly.
7:11
I hope somebody live streams that if any of you
7:13
live down in Florida and this place is about to
7:16
be demolished, and you're able to get over there and
7:18
get some video of it being demolished, obviously, if you're allowed.
7:22
You know, I know here in Vegas, whenever they're tearing
7:24
stuff down casinos and whatnot, implosions, there's usually people that
7:28
are there watching, big crowds, et cetera, et cetera. And
7:32
I would think a place like Epstein's Pad getting torn
7:34
down in Florida, there'd be some people showing up. So
7:38
if this place does get knocked down in April, and
7:41
any of you can get down there and get some
7:43
footage if you live close by or whatever, or pictures
7:47
or whatever, that'd be awesome, because, let me tell you what,
7:51
this place deserves to be burnt to the ground. This
7:54
is the kind of place if I had a dragon,
7:55
I'd come riding in right above it and yelled yourcari's
8:00
because that's how much of an eyesore it is. That's
8:03
how disgusting it is to think about what went on
8:07
in that place. Before such a demolition can proceed, Glazer
8:13
must ask for permission from the local neighborhood in order
8:17
to raise the six bedroom main house and three bedroom
8:21
staff house. I'm pretty sure that he has talked with
8:26
the commission or a couple of the commissioners have come
8:29
out and already given it the nod of approval. I'm
8:32
pretty sure we read that article. We've read so many
8:35
articles it's hard to keep track, but I'll dig back
8:38
and look. But I'm pretty sure that we've heard from
8:40
commissioners here, and they seem to be on board already,
8:44
so it's probably they're just waiting for the finalized okay,
8:47
you know, the whole panel to voter, whatever it may be.
8:51
But I can't see them not giving the okay for
8:54
this place to be raised. Such a west is necessary
9:01
because of the pricey nature of the posh enclave, which
9:04
usually prohibits such demolition projects during the winter months, when
9:09
wealthy snowbirds flock to so called Billionaire's Row for its
9:13
warm climate, white sandy beaches and palatial homes. Must be nice.
9:18
Must be nice to be heading on down to your
9:21
palatial home when shit goes south up north or when
9:24
it's cold. Rest of us are honkering down. You better
9:27
stay in place, lock down. Don't go anywhere you're locked down. Meanwhile,
9:32
these dudes are hanging out playing naked volleyball games on
9:35
the beach. Neighbors who are usually against something like this
9:41
will possibly be for it, Glazier told the Daily News. Again,
9:45
I definitely agree with that sentiment, pretty sure that the
9:48
neighbors are going to be okay with it. He'll probably
9:52
have to do it in the off season, right when
9:55
there aren't so many of the so called snowbirds down there.
9:59
But I think that they'll be able to come to
10:02
some sort of agreement. Then again, you know these billionaires,
10:04
they're fickle as hell. They cry about everything. They're the
10:07
biggest Karens in the whole entire world. We have all
10:12
these gawkers. If the house is gone, what are they
10:15
going to take a picture of? So we might be
10:17
able to get it knocked down early, which I want
10:20
to do just to get rid of it, he said.
10:22
Palm Beach is going to be very happy that it's gone,
10:25
he added, And I can only imagine about the gawker situation.
10:29
I can only imagine how many people show up there
10:31
and they're like, all right, well, we just watched this
10:34
Netflix documentary about Jeffrey Epstein. We're in Palm Beach. Let's
10:37
check it out. Let's go see what this place is
10:39
all about. So, if I was a neighbor, I would
10:44
want to alleviate that I wouldn't want people trapsing through
10:47
my billion dollar neighborhood. I wouldn't want people showing up
10:51
standing around, gawking, spitting, doing whatever else it is that
10:55
the masses do. So why wouldn't I want this place
11:00
to be knocked to the ground? If I was some
11:02
scumbag billionaire that didn't want the smelly public near them,
11:06
I mean for their own motivations, not even for you know,
11:10
touching on the right reasons. Right. The right reasons obviously
11:14
are because this house was a place where a ton
11:17
of crimes were committed and the world's better off without it.
11:20
That's pretty, you know, good enough logic for most people.
11:24
But with billionaires, they always have to be getting something
11:26
out of it, right, They always have to be squeezing
11:29
the rock for a little more blood. It's wild. People
11:35
came out to the site, sent emails, people show up
11:38
at showed up at my house in Miami Beach. I
11:41
have a woman telling me she's calling the EPA something
11:44
about nuclear medicine, he said. So I can only imagine
11:48
what the hubbub around Glazer and people contacting him about
11:53
this property. We all know there's some wild people out
11:56
there and some people following this case. It's no different
11:59
than there are some wild people out there that are
12:02
a bit brazen, and they're going to send emails, they're
12:06
going to call people, and they're going to demand questions
12:09
in their own I mean, demand for answers in their
12:11
own way. And this guy glazers like, look, I just
12:16
want to knock this house down over, be done with
12:18
this shit and move on. So I think it's a
12:22
good idea just to let this dude get that done.
12:25
I don't know anything about like nuclear medicine or any
12:27
of that stuff, and you know, God bless but let's
12:31
be real, folks, Let's just get this house knocked down
12:35
and move on. If this guy's going to pay eighteen
12:38
nineteen million dollars that's going into the compensation fund and
12:42
he wants to knock this place down the next day,
12:46
more power to him. If he wants to drive over
12:48
this place in a gigantic monster truck that he outfitted
12:53
for the cause, more power to him. Who cares? As
12:56
long as that eighteen million dollars shows up in the
12:59
compensation fund and this stupid ass, disgusting place gets destroyed,
13:03
who cares. A woman's group wants to go in and
13:09
do a prayer. I've got neighbors praying I can knock
13:12
this thing down, he said. I'm trying to get this
13:14
thing knocked down. The waterfront Palm Beach estate, just over
13:18
a mile from Donald Trump's Mar A Lago, went on
13:21
the market in July for twenty one point nine nine
13:24
to five million, and when it went on the market
13:26
for that price, remember I thought it would get knocked
13:29
down a few million. I was thinking, like, I don't know,
13:32
twenty million right around there. No, they were all the
13:36
way down to eighteen million. And then we see the
13:38
shave that the townhouse got a significant amount sixty three
13:43
I mean twenty three million down to sixty five from
13:46
eighty eight. So we see the toll that COVID has
13:52
taken on high end real estate obviously, and we see
13:57
that Epstein and the estates taking it in the short
14:00
here because of the time frame and the fact that
14:04
well it's a place that is wrapped in infamy. The
14:11
property has been locked up for over eighteen months since
14:13
Epstcene's arrest, and it's been graffitied with the word graffitied
14:17
with the words gone but not forgiven in blood red paint.
14:21
And you gotta figure that people are pissed off, right,
14:26
I'm surprised that that's all that's happened. Now. Even when
14:29
that occurred and someone wrote graffiti on the wall, my
14:33
comments then and my comments still are that's stupid. It's
14:36
just going to cost the estate money to get rid
14:38
of the graffiti, and in turn you're taking a few
14:41
more dollars out of the pocket of the survivors. So
14:44
don't be a moron. Never a good idea to deface
14:47
property or destroy property, especially when it's counterproductive. So I
14:54
always thought that was a bit silly. I get the
14:57
idea behind it, right, and I sympathize with the motivation
15:00
behind it, but it's really just a counterproductive move and
15:04
it doesn't do anything but cost money in the end,
15:07
and every single dollar matters at this point. He declined
15:12
to confirm the price, but said he received a discount.
15:15
Sources told the paper the sale was around eighteen million.
15:19
Glazier is known for building extravagantly designed homes for wealthy
15:23
and demanding clients, such as a home on Miami's Star
15:27
Island that recently sold for about forty nine and a
15:30
half million dollars. I don't know if you folks are
15:33
familiar with the game Grand Theft ought. Oh, I'm sure
15:35
some of you are. But there was the Miami version.
15:38
There was an island I guess that was based on
15:40
this Star Island. Tell it might have even been Star Island,
15:43
And I remember causing all kinds of havoc driving my
15:45
car around there in the game. It's pretty funny that
15:48
this guy was built there. Ironic the things that you're remember, huh.
15:52
I haven't played that game in a very long time,
15:55
and it's doesn't shock me that a guy like this
16:00
would be building on an island like that. I mean,
16:02
forty nine and a half million dollars. That's an obscene
16:06
amount of money. You imagine having fifty million dollars to
16:10
spend on a house. Imagine what sort of good you
16:14
could do in the world if you had that kind
16:15
of though he was, he was also one of the
16:20
developers of the one thousand museum tower, designed by the
16:23
late Zaha Hadid in downtown Miami. In June, Glazier confirmed
16:28
that he had bought a nineteen twenty five mansion in
16:31
Palm Beach for seventeen million dollars, which he intended to
16:35
restore to its former glory and where he intended to
16:38
live with his wife Kim. Now, I can only imagine
16:42
what his own pad's going to look like. You got
16:44
this developer, you know, whipping up all of these fancy
16:47
ass houses and developments and shit. I can only imagine
16:50
how sick, his pad's going to be. Glazier has been
16:54
developing property in the Palm Beach area since two thy
16:57
and seventeen. In February, he and partners Philip Levine, Scott
17:02
Robbins and Jonathan Freed sold a Speck holme at one
17:06
thirteen Atlantic Avenue for nine point four to one million
17:09
to a scion of the family that founded Cumberland Farms.
17:13
According to the Real Deal and the Real Deal is
17:17
a real estate website magazine. The hyperlinks in here. If
17:22
you're interested in like real estate and stuff, you can
17:23
click on that and take a look at what they
17:25
have to offer. But again, every one of this dude's properties,
17:30
everything he's selling and slanging is for big money. This
17:35
isn't some guy that's just messing around, right And I
17:37
can only imagine what he's going to do with that
17:40
property at Elbrio Away next door at one eleven Atlantic Avenue,
17:47
another Speck home that the partners developed, is under contract
17:51
and is expected to close in July. Glaziers said the
17:54
partners also developed two Speck villas with a courtyard at
17:58
two thirty seven Brazilian Avenue in Palm Beach, which recently
18:02
hit the market for seven point nine million dollars each,
18:05
the site reported pocket change compared to the fifty million. Right,
18:10
let me just go to the bank and pull out
18:11
that seven point nine million. Maybe I can go make
18:13
ninety seven transactions like indyke to get that seven point
18:20
nine million to get me one of these houses. What
18:22
do you think about that? You think they'll they'll report
18:25
me for structuring? Pretty sure I'll have the FBI at
18:28
my house if I tried to pull that off. Epstein,
18:33
who died in jail awaiting his sex trafficking trial in
18:36
August of twenty nineteen, bought the Palm Beach property in
18:40
nineteen ninety for two point five million dollars. Hell of
18:44
a profit. I mean, if this was a regular sale
18:49
and Epstein's estate or Epstein was making a sixteen million
18:54
dollar profit on it, it would be a good move. Right.
18:57
But think about this. It was on the market for
19:02
twenty two and they're only getting eighteen. And that all
19:07
has to do with, in my opinion, the infamy of
19:09
the place of what occurred there, and Glazier's no dummy.
19:15
He saw that as an opportunity and he pounced. The
19:20
property has roughly one hundred and seventy feet of water
19:23
frontage on the Intracoastal Waterway with space for a dock.
19:28
I mean, I can't even imagine you wake up every morning,
19:31
head on out to your little intracoastal waterway, have yourself
19:35
a breakfast whatever it is you like, nice Bailey's with
19:39
your coffee if you're into that, a smoke, if you're
19:41
into that, your fishing pole, your jet, ski, your boat.
19:46
Never mind the private planes, the jets, the other properties.
19:49
Literally the whole world at your fingertips, and you choose
19:53
to abuse traffic and rape women. There's no other explanation. Besides,
20:02
some people are just born evil, and Epstein is one
20:06
of those people. The six bedroom, roughly fourteen thousand square
20:12
foot house with a large swimming pool was designed by
20:16
architect John Vach in what is described as West Indies style.
20:21
Built in nineteen fifty two, it was one of a
20:24
number of properties where Epstein groomed and sexually assaulted underage
20:28
girls and women as part of a sprawling sex trafficking scheme.
20:32
Prosecutors said, yeah, one of the key places, right, certainly,
20:39
one of the places where a lot of bad shit
20:42
went down. And I still don't think we know the
20:44
full story about Palm Beach, all of those little high
20:47
school girls. There's a lot more there and this story, Honestly,
20:52
this story is still far from being told in my opinion.
20:56
There are so many different layers, so many threads to
20:58
pull on. Now, don't get me wrong, we're coming to
21:02
a falkrum here. We're coming to a point where the
21:05
Rubbers certainly meeting the road, with Gilaine Maxwell being on trial,
21:10
with Jean Luke Brunell being arrested, with Prince Andrew living
21:15
in infamy. So we're moving right along, there's no doubt
21:18
about it. But there are many levels and layers and
21:23
different subplots to what's going on in the main story here.
21:31
The house was where the crimes that would eventually lead
21:34
to his downfall were first reported in two thousand and five.
21:38
Well that's incorrect. Remember Maria reported him in the mid nineties.
21:42
Epstein had been recruiting teenage girls from massages from Palm
21:45
Beach High School, and one eventually confessed to her mother
21:48
what was going on, who then went to the police.
21:52
Dozens of victims were underprivileged middle and high school girls
21:56
recruited in and around Palm Beach, County between nineteen ninety
22:00
eight and two thousand and six, middle and high school
22:05
age girls middle school, seventh and eighth grade. Think back
22:09
to when you were in seventh or eighth grade and
22:12
think about what you were into then, what your life
22:14
was like. What have you been able to deal with
22:18
this sort of criminal element, this sort of person like
22:20
Epstein and Maxwell grooming you, procuring you, promising you the world,
22:25
especially if you can from a broke home. Of course not.
22:31
And that's exactly what they were trying to do. That's
22:33
how they were maneuvering. That's the way they were moving
22:37
the scummiest of the scum. Epstein pleaded guilty to Florida
22:43
state prostitution charges in two thousand and eight and served
22:46
thirteen months in a local jail. However, the sentence ended
22:50
up being a work release program. Must be nice, It
22:53
really must be nice to just live in the world
22:58
of the so called elite where you can be involved
23:00
in abusing girls in seventh and eighth grade and get
23:04
yourself out on the work release program. After his conviction,
23:11
Epstein continued living high life, and he would jet between
23:14
his homes in Palm Beach his Manhattan Upper East Side townhouse, Paris,
23:19
his New Mexico ranch, and a private island in the
23:22
US Virgin Islands, Little Saint James, which were also venues
23:26
for abuse. Facts. All that's facts. Got girls who have
23:31
said that they've been abused on every single bit property
23:34
Epstein has, every plane he has, everywhere he's ever been,
23:37
girls have come forward and said they've been abused by him.
23:46
He was arrested again at Teterborough Airport in July twenty
23:49
nineteen on federal charges of sex trafficking miners in New
23:53
York and Florida, and died by suicide allegedly in jail
23:58
a month later. The New York townhouse is still on
24:01
the market with a reduced asking price of sixty five
24:04
million dollars, according to the website of the listing agent,
24:08
Adam Modlin of the Modlin Group. Now, we talked about
24:12
that recently, and look, there was no doubt that it
24:18
was getting a shave at this point. All of the
24:22
signs pointed to that. With the market the way it
24:25
is in New York and only ten houses in that
24:30
price range or homes in that price range have been
24:33
sold this year, you knew that it was going to
24:36
be pain and I think that it might even drop
24:40
a little bit more. Folks. Honestly, you know how these
24:43
investors are. They smell blood in the water, and they're
24:46
going to try and leverage this as best as possible.
24:49
And I wouldn't be surprised to see the final ask
24:51
come down to about sixty three or so, maybe I
24:54
mean less, maybe sixty East seventy first Street home saw
25:02
its price decrease some twenty six percent from its original
25:05
asking price of eighty eight million dollars, according to the
25:09
Wall Street Journal. So it's coming right. The train has
25:17
left the station and there's no going back. Property in Florida, sold,
25:24
property in New York on the market, Virgin Islands. I'm
25:28
sure that that's in motion as well. Now Zoro Ranch,
25:32
on the other hand, well that's for another podcast, because
25:36
as you all know, I can go forever when we're
25:40
talking about Zoro Ranch. But it's a good thing that
25:44
Michael Glazer is going to get this place demolished, and
25:48
I hope that everything works out the way he has
25:50
planned and by April this iesore is completely erased from
25:58
the face of earth. If you'd like to contact me,

26:22
It's up, everybody and greetings from Sin City. Well, Jeffrey
26:28
Epstein's Palmbeach mansion had a meeting with a bulldozer. That's right, folks,
26:36
Jeffrey Epstein's mansion, old mansion, I should say in Palm
26:42
Beach has begun to be demolished. Usually I get up
26:50
to report on these stories and I feel sick over it. Right,
26:53
hardly ever any good news to report when we're talking
26:55
about this disgusting case. But every now and then we
27:00
got ourselves a little gem, and that is exactly what
27:04
it is. To see this man's mansion get absolutely destroyed.
27:13
I think it's a fitting end to that house of horror,
27:16
a fitting end to a place where not only innocence
27:23
was taken, but where dreams were smashed and crushed. So
27:31
it's a good day whenever a place like that is destroyed,
27:37
knocked down, sold and forgotten in the annals of history,
27:44
because that certainly is not a place anyone should want
27:48
to even remember after it's destroyed, and after all of
27:52
this is said and done, the fact that something new
27:57
is going up there is a good thing. It signals change,
28:02
right moving into the next level. And that's what's going on.
28:09
Things are moving, things are changing, and what once was
28:16
basically the base for Epstein and his criminal enterprise is
28:23
now being raised to the ground. Epstein's dead, Maxwell is
28:31
in jail looking at serious prison time, and the story continues.
28:43
Even though Maxwell's in jail. Even though Epstein's dead, you
28:48
still have the other lieutenants who were very much responsible
28:53
for making sure this whole entire operation ran smoothly. Now,
28:59
while I'm very excited that this place is getting knocked
29:01
down and a new start is beginning down there, I
29:04
would really really like to see some more indictments for
29:09
the other co conspirators that the FED said they weren't
29:12
going to forget about, right, Remember, well, I remember PEPPERIDG
29:16
Farm remembers, and everybody out there listening I'm sure remembers
29:21
as well. So let's get some more indictments to go
29:26
along with this appetizer of Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach mansion
29:33
being destroyed. Right, that's just a little appetizer. It's like
29:36
getting some uh, you know, getting yourself some stuffed mushrooms
29:40
before the meal, a little something to wet your palette.
29:43
But you know the real meal is coming later, and
29:46
that real meal is Maxwell Well being convicted. Let's jump
29:52
into this article from the Palm Beach Daily News and
29:55
let's see what they have to say about Jeffrey Epstein's
29:59
Palm Each House being destroyed headline exclusive. Finally, Cruse began
30:09
raising Jeffrey Epstein's former Palm Beach house. This article was
30:14
authored by Darryl Hoffheins and there is video in this link,
30:19
so make sure you go down to the description box
30:23
and click on the link and go and check out
30:25
the video as well. Finally, that's the one word comment
30:31
developer Todd Michael Glazer offered as Cruise on Monday began
30:36
knocking down the infamous Palm Beach mansion that was home
30:39
to the late sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein,
30:44
a place where he sexually assaulted underage girls and young
30:48
women and what prosecutors said was a multi year sex
30:52
trafficking scheme multi decade, honestly, I mean we could roll
30:58
with multi year, I guess, but know that this was
31:00
happening throughout the decades, and it's a shame that it
31:09
was allowed to occur for so long. And they had
31:13
this man within their grips for so many different times,
31:18
and somehow he skates while other people involved with him don't.
31:22
Talking about previously, before the sex trafficking stuff. All of
31:25
a sudden, Jeffrey Epstein just has a horseshoe shoved up
31:29
his rear end. But finally it broke the right way.
31:38
Finally things started happening. Epstein was arrested, and you know,
31:43
everything else to get us to hear and the fact
31:46
that this place is being knocked down now and that
31:49
Michael Glazer, this real estate character, is so into it. Well,
31:57
definitely a good piece of news report on for once
32:03
you know the developer Glazers like man. The last thing
32:07
I wanted to have this disgusting eyesore. I mean, you
32:10
look at that house right, and don't get me wrong,
32:12
it was opulent, it was big, but like the interior
32:16
decorating was was terrible. I mean, what did he have
32:19
the Russian guy from the Sopranos Pine Barrens episode do
32:23
the Interior Decoration. You know, the episode with Christopher and
32:28
Pauli when they're lost in the woods after they go
32:31
to collect the money from the Russian Cat and it
32:34
goes south. They think they get you know, they're taking
32:36
him out to kill him. He gets away. One of
32:40
the greatest episodes of all time. By the way, if
32:42
you have not seen that episode of The Sopranos, you
32:45
gotta check it out. One of the greatest episodes of
32:48
all time. So they go and get this guy, right,
32:52
and they were just supposed to collect the money from him.
32:55
So it turns out that he wasn't dead after they
33:00
thought they killed him in the house, right, So they
33:02
put him in the car, take him out to this
33:04
place in Jersey called the Pine Barrens, and they're going
33:07
to have him dig his own grave so when they
33:09
kill him, they could put him in the hole. Well,
33:11
things go not the way that Paulie and Christopher expect,
33:15
and the rushing cat hits Christopher with a shovel. Long
33:20
story short, they get in touch with Tony and Tony's
33:23
explaining to them who this guy is that he's expetsna
33:26
he killed sixteen chechens, all kinds of stuff. Well, the
33:31
phone conversation gets broken up between Christopher and Tony, and
33:36
Christopher says to Paulie, he says, You're never gonna believe this.
33:42
This guy killed sixteen Czechoslovakians and he's an interior decorator.
33:46
And Christopher Christopher goes, really, his apartment look like shit.
33:52
And it's one of, honestly, one of the greatest episodes
33:55
of all time. But that's I always think back to
33:57
that quote when Christopher is like, really, he was an
34:01
interior decorator. His apartment looked like shit, And that's what
34:05
it reminds me of every time we talk about Jeffrey
34:08
Epstein and the decorating in his house, Christopher's reaction with
34:11
the conversation. I don't know why that triggers that for me,
34:15
but every single time I have like vivid images of
34:19
the Pine Barons episode. The Lakeside Mansion at three point
34:24
fifty eight l Brio Way is being raised to make
34:27
room for a new house to be developed on a
34:30
speculation by Glazer, who paid a recorded eighteen and a
34:33
half million dollars for the property in March. So he's
34:38
he's gonna build something else there. He already was talking
34:41
about some of the plans. He has some more modern property,
34:45
something that fits in with the rest of the neighborhood,
34:48
like you know, the Epstein property in its current form
34:51
or old form. I guess you could say now was
34:54
very old, right, very old, uh not updated? Different style
35:00
and wasn't you know, catchy like some of these new
35:03
properties are. And that's the kind of developer Glazer is.
35:07
I'm sure that whatever he puts on this site is
35:10
going to be pretty incredible. Glazier previously previously told The
35:16
Daily News that it would be personally satisfying to him
35:19
to knock down and replace the house. Hell yeah, any
35:23
sort of human being with any kind of heart or
35:25
a morality compass inside of their body would want to
35:29
be would want to take part in knocking this place down.
35:34
I would have gladly come over with a sledgehammer or
35:37
drove one of those fourk I mean bulldozers to smash
35:42
into this place. Gladly gladly have done it for free.
35:45
By the way, Palm Beach real estate broker Lawrence A. Mones,
35:49
who represented Glazier and helped put together the sale, broke
35:53
his customary rule about not commenting publicly on transactions in
35:57
which he was involved. And that just show you the
36:00
significance of this property and what it means that it's
36:03
gonna be knocked down and scattered into the dusts of history.
36:09
I can only see that as a good thing, right,
36:11
Another piece of Jeffrey Epstein's sortid disgusting legacy chipped away.
36:17
I only got involved in the sale of Jeffrey Epstein's
36:20
residence to ensure it would be wiped off the map
36:22
of Palm Beach. Mohnes told the Palm Beach Daily News. Yo,
36:27
that's crazy. Lawrence Moons is a pretty top notch real
36:33
estate person in that neck of the woods, and he
36:36
wasn't having it either. Look, everybody's sick of this shit.
36:39
Nobody wants to look at that place anymore. Nobody wants
36:42
to see the house in Manhattan. Nobody wants to hear
36:47
about Zoro Ranch not being raided anymore. And this guy,
36:51
Lawrence Mohones, who works in the real estate industry, made
36:54
sure he got involved to get rid of this blight.
36:58
So cheers to that. Lawrence owns. Good on you. Peal
37:04
permits were issued for the demolition late last week. Townhall
37:07
Record Show. Early Monday, demolition crews from BG Group of
37:11
Delray Beach used heavy equipment to begin pulling down the
37:15
walls of the mansion. God, that's glorious. Make sure you
37:18
watch the video. I was watching it like it was
37:21
a sporting event. Had a couple of cheers, maybe, you know,
37:24
eating a hot dog with one hand, had the other
37:27
hand in some popcorn, you know what I mean. It's
37:31
like a sporting event for me watching this place get
37:33
knocked down. Maybe I should make some odds on how
37:36
long it takes for different parts of it to fall.
37:39
All kidding aside, though, if you're looking to have a
37:42
bit of joy in your life for a little while,
37:44
make sure you watch this video. Click on the link,
37:47
watch the video and enjoy. They tore into it again
37:54
and again, starting on the east side where vine still
37:57
clung to the walls, blooming with furs that were soon crushed,
38:02
and eating through house towards the water front. Man, that
38:07
is such a fantastic visual. We don't get very many
38:11
good visuals in this case, right at least, I certainly
38:14
don't stuff that. You know, you lay there at nights
38:18
sometimes and you think about it, and it really really
38:21
gets me going. I can't tell you how many sleepless
38:25
nights I've had since this investigation. Since we've started talking
38:28
about this case in October of twenty nineteen, it's been
38:33
such a grind and such a heavy topic to discuss
38:39
every day that I cannot even begin to explain to
38:43
you how much I am looking forward to this playing out.
38:49
And then to think about how much of a grind
38:52
it is just covering it now, think and try and
38:55
put yourself in the position of the people who actually
38:57
lived it. And I look at the grind and I
39:02
say to myself, this ain't shit. Bro Buckle down, keep
39:07
it moving, keep rocking. If all of these girls who
39:11
are abused by Epstein can carry this burden for this long,
39:14
we can see it through to the end of this trial.
39:17
But boy, oh boy, let me tell you what. I
39:21
cannot wait for the convictions to come in this case.
39:25
There are some other people, I guess I would love
39:26
for this case to keep going on forever and ever
39:28
and ever and ever, but not me. This case has
39:33
taken up so much of my time, so much of
39:36
my life, that I just cannot wait to see all
39:42
of these people that we talk about. You know, the
39:45
core four Maxwell Indike con for those people to be punished,
39:53
because it's been just this is day after day talk
39:57
about a slugfest and it just wait, you right, this
40:00
kind of heavy sort of content, this sort of material,
40:05
it's it's not easy to talk about, it's not easy
40:09
to digest and guess what it's certainly I would guess
40:14
was not easy to live. So that's why we continue
40:17
to talk about it on a daily basis. That's why
40:20
we continue to try and bring just a little bit
40:23
of light to it. You know, in our little neck
40:25
of the woods over here, we just you know, we
40:30
do our little part right. And there's people out there
40:33
with way way, way, way way, bigger platforms that are
40:38
fighting the good fight too. But me personally, I know
40:44
that it's going to be a very good day for
40:51
these survivors, especially when this thing is finally said and
40:54
done and when somebody takes a bull dozer not just
40:59
to Epstein's house, but to the rest of his legacy.
41:06
By noon, debris littered the ground as broken windows pierced walls.
41:09
That remained standing and still intact was much of the
41:12
second floor balcony that overlooked the water connected to the
41:16
pool patio below by a graceful spiral staircase. The residents
41:24
had stood since nineteen fifty two on an acre facing
41:28
one hundred and seventy feet on the intracoastal Waterway at
41:31
the end of a quiet, dead end street in the
41:33
estate section, with a total of fourteen two hundred and
41:37
twenty three square feet. The three structures being raised include
41:41
the main house, a pool cabana building, and a separate
41:44
building used by household staff. The swimming pool is also
41:48
being demolished and filled in. You know, I tried to
41:51
talk my parents into filling in my pool when I
41:54
was younger and turning it into a roller hockey court. Yeah,
41:58
it didn't work out so well for you. Boy. My
42:01
parents have a junior Olympic sized swimming pool in their
42:03
backyard and they were always complaining about how, you know,
42:07
paining the ass to take care of this that the
42:09
other thing. So I offered a great solution. I was like, look,
42:12
we can turn this into a roller hockey rink, right,
42:15
and then we can switch it into a basketball court
42:18
every now and then. Unfortunately, they weren't into it. So
42:23
I have a sneaking suspicion that mister Glazer isn't going
42:27
to be making a hockey rink in his backyard either. Unfortunately,
42:33
Epstein hanged himself in August twenty nineteen in a New
42:36
York City jail cell, allegedly after he was arrested on
42:40
federal charges of conspiracy and sex trafficking of underage girls.
42:45
Fort Lauderdale attorney Brad Edwards represents about fifty clients in
42:50
various legal actions who say they were abused by Epstein.
42:54
The demolition can be viewed in some ways as cathartic.
42:57
He said, I agree with that, and I thought of
42:59
I said that from the jump that it would be
43:01
a cathartic experience for some of these survivors. Right seeing
43:05
this place destroyed, it's significant. It might not be to
43:09
other people on the outside looking in, but to these
43:11
survivors who were abused there, it's significant. I think that
43:17
the symbolic power of destroying the House of Horrors cannot
43:20
be overstated. Edwards said, Hey, that's funny. I call it
43:23
the same thing, Brad. Great minds think alike their pal.
43:27
I can imagine there is going to be some amount
43:29
of relief that the nightmare of what went on at
43:31
that house has been buried to some degree one hundred percent.
43:36
It doesn't fix everything right, It doesn't make the things
43:38
that happen any better or make them go away. But
43:43
it's a step in the right direction, and it's one
43:46
more shot to the face of the Epstein enterprise. Epstein
43:54
paid two and a half million for the pom Beach
43:56
House in nineteen ninety pom Beach County Courthouse Record Show.
44:00
In twenty eleven, he transferred its ownership from his name
44:04
to an entity named Laurel Incorporated, a company registered in
44:08
the US Virgin Islands. Oh, you know, all on the
44:12
up and up too. There's no offshore shenanigans going on
44:15
over there. I mean, it's not like the Fincent files
44:17
pointed us in that direction or the Panama papers. Nah, No,
44:21
none of that ever occurred, right. The house was designed
44:26
by West Indies style architecture by the late John L. Volk,
44:30
a prolific Palm Beach architect. Epstein extensively remodeled the house
44:34
in the mid nineteen nineties. Record show. Yeah, he definitely
44:40
went in and did a couple did some remodeling, fixed
44:42
it up a little bit, you know, kind of modernized it.
44:44
But Honestly, with that kind of money, that house is
44:48
a complete eyesore. I mean, I guess it would have
44:50
been cool in the fifties or sixties or something, but
44:53
we're talking about the you know, twenty first century. Here
44:58
a white box. Designer. Daniel Maynard of le Leburge and
45:03
Maynard presented the demolition request to the bored in December.
45:07
He said little remained the Vulk's interior detailing. I spoke
45:11
to a person who worked on the renovation, and it
45:13
appears everything was gutted. So there's nothing left or very
45:17
little of the John Volk period. It's essentially a white box. Well, yeah,
45:21
that's what it looked like. Generic as hell, right Again,
45:25
you would think a match in like this, you would
45:26
put some dose kis in it and make it pop.
45:30
The property offers views of Tarpin Island and Everglades Island,
45:34
smaller islands that lie just west of the Barrier Islands
45:37
that comprises pom Beach. Epstein was initially booked in Florida
45:42
in two thousand and six after police said he had
45:45
sex with underage girls whom he paid for massage sessions
45:49
at the pom Beach House. Michael Ryder, the form of
45:53
pom Beach Police chief, who years ago led the initial
45:55
investigation into the accusations against Epstein at the house on
45:59
l Brio Way, responded to a request for a comment Monday,
46:04
and we know that Michael Ryder was one of the
46:07
only people who really was going hard in the paint
46:10
here when we're talking about law enforcement or the higher ups.
46:14
The former owner of this house did unmeasurable damage to
46:18
the lives of countless children and was able to corrupt
46:21
the legal system to the point that the courts have
46:24
called it a national disgrace. Now this is Rider saying this, Okay,
46:28
somebody who knows what's going on in this situation, somebody
46:31
who has seen the paperwork, somebody who has seen the evidence.
46:35
While it is critical that we learned from this tragedy,
46:38
it is nearly as important we follow with doing everything
46:42
possible to erase any connection of him from our community,
46:46
said Ryder, upon Beach resident who today runs his security
46:50
and investigative firm. In two thousand and eight, Epstein entered
46:55
a controversial plea deal that led to his conviction on
46:57
two state felony counts that included solicitation of a minor.
47:02
He served nearly thirteen months in the Palm Beach County
47:04
jail before being released for a year of of probation
47:08
on house arrest until August twenty ten. Well, we know
47:13
that he didn't do a year, right, He was in
47:16
and out all day, just went there to sleep. Wasn't
47:19
there like a real inmate? His plea deal let him
47:24
avoid harsher federal charges similar to the ones he was
47:27
facing in New York when he died. Last week, justices
47:31
of the federal Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals issued a
47:34
seven to four ruling against epstein survivor, Courtney Wilde, that
47:39
said she had no legal recourse to unravel the two
47:41
thousand and eight no prosecution agreement that stems from his
47:45
arrest in Florida. What a travesty, What a travesty. Had
47:49
miscarriage of justice that is. I'm not gonna go too
47:52
heavy on that, considering I've talked about that at length already,
47:56
but man, oh man, they should be embarrassed of themselves.
48:01
Epstein could have faced a maximum sentence of forty five
48:04
years in prison had he been convicted on the federal
48:07
charges he was facing when he died. In July. Authorities
48:11
arrested Epstein associate Gilaane Maxwell in New Hampshire on multiple
48:16
charges related to Epstein's alleged sexual abuse. She remains jailed
48:20
without bail. Oh, but she remains running her mouth and
48:24
the suck squad continues with their nonsense. And I see
48:27
that news Newsweek, huh is going hard in the paint
48:31
with there. It looks like some pro gi Layne type
48:34
of literature should be embarrassed of themselves. But it's Newsweek.
48:38
What do you expect talk about a rag and the
48:40
authors over there? Wow, what a joke. Just go ahead
48:44
and read some of the articles. I'm not reading any
48:45
of those the articles from that rag on the podcast
48:49
because straight garbage. What's going on over there? But man
48:53
oh Man talk about puff pieces? New house in the works.

Glazier spent much of his career in real estate development, restoration,
49:02
and renovation in Miami Dade County before entering the Palm
49:06
Beach market about three years ago. Among his most prominent
49:09
projects in Miami is the one thousand Museum condominium tower downtown. Now,
49:14
I've never seen any of these projects. Really, I don't
49:17
know much about architecture, but I'm sure if you check
49:21
out in Google or whatever, you could check out some
49:23
of these properties, and in this actual article there's a
49:28
picture of one of them. Pretty badass looking house, no
49:30
doubt about it. Acting opposite Lawrence A. Mohns Associates in
49:36
the March sale was listing agent Kerry Warwick of the
49:39
Corcoran Group, who represented the executors of Epstein's estate. The
49:44
Architectural Commission has not yet reviewed plans for the house.
49:47
Glazer wants to build on the lot, but he told
49:49
The Daily News last fall it would likely measure about
49:52
thirteen thousand square feet. Any design must be signed off
49:56
by the Architectural Board, so it's kind of like a
49:59
Homeowner's Association or a grand collection of Karen's and Carl's, right.
50:04
That's all HOA is, basically. So they'll have to sign
50:08
off on it and make sure that the plans fall
50:11
within the scope of the community. The Palm Beach House
50:16
was among several homes Epstein owned across the country and
50:19
in the Caribbean and in other countries. His historic Upper
50:23
east Side townhouse at nine East seventy first Street in
50:26
New York City sold in marched for fifty one million
50:31
after being listed at eighty eight million. According to published reports,
50:36
the townhouse sold to an ownership entity linked to retiring
50:39
Goldman Sachs executive Michael D. Daffy and his wife Blake.
50:43
Property record show they plan to renovate the residents. New
50:47
York Times are reported an independent survivor's compensation fund has
50:52
been established, but in addition to survivors, others are pursuing
50:56
money from Epstein's estate, including creditors, according to media reports.
51:01
Of course they are the vultures are all at the corpse.
51:06
Everybody wants to wet their beak. Everybody wants a taste.
51:10
Even those who are working with Epstein have tried to
51:12
position themselves as victims. But one thing is certainly clear
51:19
of folks. The days of anybody being molested in the
51:25
Palm Beach House on Elbrio, those days are long over.
