B (2:37)

Well, thank you. I gotta tell you too, people who I have not had such experiences with, who have not treated me kindly, actually reached out to me and it was like, you know, and, and an olive branch or to break the ice and say, you know, I know that we have not been on friendly terms lately, but I think what they're doing to you is wrong. And let's like have a drink or go to dinner and you know what I mean? I think that. And it's broken the ice a lot of things, a lot with a couple of people who, you know, so I'm, you know, at least there's something good that's come out of it. However. Yeah, there's nothing good, I believe, coming out of the, the Epstein files. And I'm surprised, you know, our thumbnail says they arrested the wrong Don. And I was actually listening, I was listening to actually a preacher this weekend who said, you know, out of all of these things, you know, they've arrested Don Lemon. But why hasn't anybody been arrested for the Epstein file?

C (3:36)

Exactly.

B (3:37)

Can you imagine if someone has the connections, even just the connections that Donald Trump has, why haven't they been. We would be brought in and questioned at least, and maybe we would have been apprehended, I don't know. But why not?

C (3:51)

Right? Why not? And, you know, I think when you actually look at who the, the, like the connections that Jeffrey Epstein had to the very top of every administration that ever covered this, that, that, that should have investigated this massive sex trafficking operation. He's managed to sort of burrow himself into the layers of the top of society, of politics, of the Justice Department. I mean, going back to 1996, when Maria Farmer. Yeah, when Maria Farmer, like, called in, you know her, the tip in 1996 about her.

B (4:31)

Right.

C (4:32)

Tip. It's like it was a, it was a police report, you know, asking for help to the FBI, and nobody responded. And it's like, well, he was friends with the President, you know, he was friends with Bill Clinton at the time, you know, and then you go on to 2008 and this very unjust, this unjust non prosecution agreement. And then you know, he's friends with Kathleen Rumler, who is Obama's not just friends, excuse me, he's getting advice from her. He is the White House counsel and he's asking her for advice on how to smear Virginia to fry a victim, giving her a Birkin bag, which she was just so excited about. Right. And then you know, you just look at every layer like he's friends with Ken Snow star Alan Dershowitz. It's like he has everybody locked up and paid for, you know, throughout multiple administrations. And he, even now, I mean Jay Clayton who is leading this investigation, okay, this new investigation that President Trump has opened up into the Democrats, right? And he was the one who's supposed to be working. He, he's running the SCNY like he is the, he's the federal prosecutor, the top of the sdny and he was supposed to turn over millions and millions of documents in compliance with the Epstein Transparency Act. But this is a man who was selected by Leon Black to basically replace him at Apollo. When Leon Black, the founder of Apollo had to step down because of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in which she paid him $170 million for a state planning as if anyone has ever received that kind of fee. On top of that, Leon Black was accused in a civil case of rape by a woman in connection to Jeffrey Epstein. And it's just like Leon Block also, you know, was read, read Hoffman's lawyer at Sullivan and Cromwell. And if you just like look at all of the, all of the connections between Epstein's world and all people who are at the top of the government now and have been in previous positions, you can understand why he has remained untouchable and all of his accomplishment accomplices and all the people who were, who may have also been John's perpetrators in these acts. There are thousand girls and thousand and victims have said that they were not just trafficked to Jeffrey Epstein. Why they have not had any face, any justice follow up investigations.

B (7:03)

Well Tara, listen, in this latest tranche that came out, some of the information I think there was like the Bill Gates reference about you know, reportedly about STDs or something or Donald Trump was mentioned in there and they're saying, well it's a, you know, these are tipsters and they couldn't be verified and all of that and they can't investigate. And it's like wait a minute, we have a very viable, at least we used to have an FBI and people who are quite capable of investigating even tips that aren't substantiated. But it's shocking to me again, as, as it was said in the report by Kirsten Welker, Kristen Welker, is that okay? Just because you're in there doesn't mean you're guilty. But there's a whole. Donald Trump's in there a lot. Like, a lot.

C (7:47)

3,000 file, 5,300 files, excuse me, 55,300 files have the President's name in them.

B (7:55)

Why hasn't he been brought in and questioned?

C (7:57)

Right, right. You claim that you've investigated the, to the tip, but what about the person who's been accused?

B (8:05)

Go on.

C (8:06)

Yeah, I mean, and also just the fact that, okay, Glenn Maxwell said that there were 25 men in her habeas petition that s that signed settlements with one victim alone. Okay, what about those men? What about them? I mean, what are they doing? It's just, it's, it's also a sign, too, that they just don't believe women. They just don't want to believe them. They don't care. I mean, I think everyone should be concerned that crimes against women, we know, crimes against minorities, they just, they don't, they don't put, they don't have a precedent for, they don't have, they're just not important to these people in the FBI. They're not, they're just not prioritized. And it's really, it's really disturbing. So, yes. How can you say you've, you've actually closed the loop on a tip if you haven't called in the person who's been accused, haven't even called their lawyer?

B (9:11)

Exactly why you can't, like, bring them in. Bring them in and, and get, and talk to them and, and ask them. I don't understand it. I think, Tara, we're going to look back and in a couple years and new information is going to come out and we will be hoodwinked. The American people will. There's going to be like a tranche of information that is going to not, you know, implicate people, but that's going to find a lot of people had a lot more to do with the trafficking of people or, you know, and actually committing horrible sexual acts with young people. I think that's going to come out and I look and I think it's going to be, as you said, some of the wealthiest people in the world and some of the most influential people. And all we're left now is to our own devices because they're not being Transparent with us. So we don't know exactly who that might be. That could be anyone from the President of the United States on down to, as you see, Prince Andrew and others that they're just not being, in my opinion, transparent about. And they're hiding something.

C (10:21)

No. And they've also done a really sloppy job at releasing the files. I mean, Brad Edwards, who is a lawyer for many of the victims, he's actually calling on the Justice Department to take down the entire website until they remove the names of these victims.

B (10:34)

There are naked pictures, right, of, like, young women. Like what? Yeah, sloppy. Yeah.

C (10:40)

They failed to redact at least 43 names, some appearing more than 100 times. So, yeah, and this is like he. He was saying, time is of the essence. You need to take this down now. You're destroying people's lives. So these are women who have already been victimized by Jeffrey Epstein, have already lived through that pain and that shame. And now this is the next phase of the re. Traumatization by the government. And I've just been getting a lot of, like, I feel so bad for the survivors because this is all they're getting. Like, they're not getting anything more than this. And this is what they've gotten. It's just. This is. What a sad way to end this horrific story. There is no light in this story. Sadly, not at all. And Todd Blanch has closed the door on any future investigations. And like I said, Jay Clayton, who's running the next phase, I mean, he's completely compromised himself. He should be recusing himself when he's so involved with men who. One of them had to pay a settlement in connection to a rape of a woman. You know, he denies it, but he had to step down from his role at Apollo. It's just. It's just, you know, it is really, really, really, really concerning. And it just. The more you look at the web, you realize everybody at the top has some connection to Jeffrey Epstein, including our, you know, our next Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, who's married to Ron Lauder, who happens to be friends with Jeff. With President Trump, whose daughter is involved in the Greenland takeover. Like, it's just like the more you look at this web, and then you have, you know, Kathy Rumler, who's now being defended by Tony Fratt, Goldman Sachs, who was George Bush's deputy press secretary. And you're just like, wow, Lutnick. Lutnick. Who claims, oh, I just walked into his house once, and I was like, oh, this is creepy with my wife. And then I left Turns out he actually wanted to go to the island and it looks like he arranged to actually go and visit it.

B (12:42)
