Quote (01:00):
“You want to talk about conspiracy theories, you want to talk about people whitewashing the story and trying to rewrite history? Well, all you have to do is take a look at the legacy media and that’s exactly what they’ve been doing for decades.” — Bobby Capucci [01:00]

2. The Leaked Amy Robach Tape & ABC’s Rationale

Summary of the Tape (02:00–06:30):
The episode centers on a leaked video where Amy Robach laments ABC News’ refusal to air her 2015 interview with Virginia Roberts. The stated reason: to maintain access to the British Royal Family, particularly for upcoming interviews with Prince William and Kate Middleton. Capucci reads directly from the Vox article covering these revelations.
Robach’s On-Tape Frustration:
- _"We would not put the Epstein story on air. First of all, I was told, who's Jeffrey Epstein? No one knows who that is. This is a stupid story… the palace found out that we had our whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways… We were so afraid we wouldn’t be able to interview
