That is coming from. That's the BBC. I want to bring in Tara Palmieri. Tara is a friend of the program and Tara had a little bit of a technical difficulty here. But you saw the report from the BBC. This is serious. People in other countries are suffering consequences, but no one here in the United States. This is, this is put pressure. This is a major, major, major move and a major story.

Tara Palmeri (3:06)

Oh, my gosh. I mean, think about this. This is the Crown in crisis. This is. This could topple the Royal family. A monarchy dating back centuries. There, at least like in modern history, there hasn't been a time when someone this close to succession in, in the, in the Royal Family has been arrested. This isn't like, you know, some of the parking tickets that Princess Anne got. Like, this is sharing state secrets while being appointed trade envoy by the Queen of England and doing that with a convicted pedophile in another country years after he said he had cut contact with him. This is a really, really. I mean, Don, if this doesn't shake the Justice Department in the United States, I don't know what else will, because it's an embarrassment for the United States to not actually do any further investigations in the Epstein, in the Epstein story. Now, we would know about this at all if not for the Epstein files Transparency act in the dump, because it became clear from the dump and the email exchanges with, with Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein that he was sharing these state secrets like he was sharing trade information, valuable trade information with Epstein. I know. It's. It's a. Why It's a. It's a wild day and it's a. It's a huge day. I mean, I know Virginia's family, they put out a statement, you know, they said that today our broken hearts have been filled at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty. On behalf of our sister Virginia, Robert Duffrey, we extend the gratitude to the UK's Thames Valley Police for their investigation an arrest of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. It's. It's really, it's really something.

News Host / Interviewer (5:20)

But, Tara, do you think this is going to. Will this affect the administration? You think that they used to the Justice Department, but do you. What do you think is happening at the Justice Department or with the administration upon hearing this news? Because they're going to have to come up with some sort of answer about it, if they haven't already.

Tara Palmeri (5:40)

Yeah, I mean, I. If I were Pam Bondi, I don't know if I'd want to be holding a press conference right now, but she doesn't really seem to care about public opinion that much. She seems to only be seeing herself as a servant to the President and not to the people. But I don't see how they can't view this as a sign that like what their goal is, which is, you know, just to protect crime victims, that, that it shows that they are not doing that. And also it's like, it's just amazing. And we still don't know what there is in two and a half. There are two and a half million other documents that we haven't seen that are redact, that, that just haven't been released. So much of what we have is redacted. But like Don, there could be so much more like this, but implicating the US like, because it's a lot easier to throw, you know, Mandelson, the, the UK the US prime, sorry, UK prime minister to the US or, you know, the prince of another country under the bus. But you know, who else was sharing secrets with Jeffrey Epstein?

News Host / Interviewer (6:48)

Well, you can hear me right? Ter so here's the thing we I want to this is a Business Insider report and it shows all the folks who have suffered consequences for Jeffrey Epstein and not very many, at least as far as heads of state or politicians here in the United States have, have done that. You see Andrew Mountbatten, Windsor. Right. Obviously he's been arrested this morning. Keep going, Andy, so we can show some of the names. There you got Thomas Pritzker, who is suffering some consequences. But again, this is a head of business. This is not like any of the leader, any of the folks keep going at me. Any of the folks here in the United States who are part of, you know, our legislature. And then you have Kathy Rummler, who is also a titan of business as well, but none of our politicians. But if you look at other countries, politicians are resigning, they're being pushed out and they're not even in the upstate files as much as Donald Trump or Howard Lutnick or some of the people, some of the people who are not elected folks but who are in the cabinet, what is going on with that? And you know, that's what people are concerned about. And then you have this like Peter Atia got a whole other thing with CBS News. And they're standing behind them very interesting there. But it for some reason, you know, they won't do anything. And that just leads to this people to believe that this idea that there is some sort of COVID up going on.

Tara Palmeri (8:18)

Yeah. I mean, there's so much smoke in there. So much there are so many redactions. And we know that the redactions often are not with the victims, they're with men. Just look at that sultan from the Emirates who had to resign from his role. You know, it's just so obvious that. And he was in the email where he was initially redacted for, for saying he enjoyed a torture video. We just don't know what we don't know right now. But the little that we know hasn't caused much of a issue in the US but it has very much. It'll take. It may take down the labor government because you know, Keir Starmer, the prime British Prime Minister is leading that and he's. His judgment is called into question because of Peter Mandelson who built the party really and helps even to get him into that role and appointing him to the UK Ambassador to the US with these incredibly close ties with, with Epstein to the point where they were, you know, he's taking money from him. It just. We, we don't know because there are so many redactions in the US Files like what. How. How much even closer Epstein was to our own government and why his lawyers were asking the NSA and the CIA for proof of affiliation between Epstein and those and those agencies.

News Host / Interviewer (9:36)

Yeah. If you, and if you look at the, the things that we the, the article that I had up, these are the folks that some of in the United States, right. We have Thomas Pritzker we talked about stepped down as the executive chairman of Hyatt. Catherine. Kathy Rumler resigned. Goldman Sachs top lawyer. Right. General counsel. Okay. Again, titans of business. But then as you get down to other countries, you have the Sultan Ahmed Ben Sulyam Sulayan resigned. The chairman CEO of the DP World Benjamin Wake process resigned as CEO of Global Council. As you mentioned, Peter Mendelsohn, he did not survive his senior role. Lost. Did not survive his senior roles. His Epstein link controversy escalated. Tim Allen of the UK resigned as a Downing street communications director. And then on and on and on these people again who are in government and as I mentioned, no, you know, not mentioned as much as Trump and other people and they are suffering consequences for here in the United States. I don't know what the, you know, why people are allergic to consequences especially for the person who's in the files. Much more now I know you don't have a crystal ball here. I'm wondering how this play out in the media today. And also if you're hearing from the victims, I think this gives the victims at least they feel that there's some sort of justice.

Tara Palmeri (10:59)

There's one, there's one gun. There's one country that's actually looking to make sure that there's some sort of justice. That there's one country that sees lines that can be, that can be drawn. It just, it's a failure of our system because ultimately we are they, they work for us. They are civil servants. There is, if there are no consequences for one of the most horrific crimes in the world, then what is the point of having a state? Security is like one of the main, you know, that is the point of a state is to offer security. What is the point of it? Have a nation state. Like, it just doesn't make sense. So it's sad. We're supposed to be this beacon of democracy, you know, pillar of justice. And yeah, no one's, no one's getting any of that here. Dawn. I have to jump and go to my own live, but thank you for having me on. And yeah, this is a wild day.
