Now it's seventen WRS Beat on the Street with Natalie Migliori.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The Jeffrey Epstein files are back in the news, and
it's going to be big news today when some of
the victims testify in front of Congress. So what do
New Yorkers think about the Epstein files. Natalie Migliori gets
the Beat on the Street.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Good morning, Natalie, Yeah, Good morning Larry. You know, people
might be wondering, why was it quiet for a little
bit and then all of a sudden, the Epstein files
have reruptured in a sense. Well, lawmakers were on break
and now the drama returns as they returned to Capitol Hill.
So it was certainly an interesting morning on the streets
(00:44):
of New York. A day after the Congressional House Committee
investigating the Jeffrey Epstein case released thirty three thousand files
related to the matter. The catch many of those files
were already public. It comes to the Department of Bases
accusations of covering up the case. New Yorkers playing into
(01:05):
the idea the government is trying to protect someone. It's
not a lot of someone.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Definitely the President if some of the others were probably swept
along with it, you know.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
So probably trying to say facists for certain people.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I am not surprised. I think the government hides a
lot of things from us, and when it suits them,
then they doctor it up and make it look how
they need to make it look.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
It's a whole like covery scheme, you know, in the government.
That's what the government usually do. They like to cover
up stuff so.
Speaker 7 (01:33):
To keep us in the frenzy because they all know
what's truly going on behind closed doors, you know what
I mean, We the public don't know nothing, unfortunately, so
we just gonna have to sit back and watch what happens.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Well, today what's happening is Congress members are joining women
who say they are Epstein victims at a press conference
to call for even more files to be made public
and more testimony will happen on Capitol Hill. New Yorkers
feel this case will drag on, but they know what
they want the result to be.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I hope everything goes the way it's supposed to go
and the people who are guilty or guilty, But I
don't really.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Follow it the whole dirty truth. You know, whoever is involved,
you know, the Royalty in England or or the politicians
here or whoever it is, you know. So, I mean,
these there kids, it's just little kids. They shouldn't you. Oh,
it's just sick.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
But if this is the thing that causes us to
get Trump out of office and the country back on track,
I will take I will embrace it with both hands.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Of course, the president has been facing pressure to release
Epstein related documents, his apparents hesitant, leading to speculation that
he may be implicated somehow in the files. Earlier this summer, however,
the President did campaign on debunking Epstein related conspiracy theories,
like if the disgraced financier really died by suicide, that's
(02:53):
still a topic till this day.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
Justice needs to be served. And I find it very
funny that the minute he got he committed suicide. I
found that very strange.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
So do you think he really killed himself?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Yes, I do. I don't think he killed himself, you know.
I mean, it's particularly so that they showed there's all
that missing time in the tapes. You know, I think
he had a little help in his way.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
I don't think maybe you know, they send somebody into
like you know, because it happens. You watch a movie
where like they send people you know in and like
I supposed to kill them because they don't want all
the evidence to come out or you know, things to
show like what happened. So I don't think he did that.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
So Larry, those conspiracy theories are alive and well, as
we hear, a lot of New Yorkers this morning, don't
really seem to care. They've got bigger fish to fry.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I don't really have questions. It makes sense to me.
Rich people do things and they get away with things,
and when you have money you can kind of like
do that. It sucks, but that's kind of the reality
of it.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Right now, etsyn files are my lowest priority, but the
least to my worries where President Trump is concerned. I'm
concerned with the way he has absolutely gutted them. The
CDC and FDA caused my friends and loved ones to
live in fear, and nothing he is doing is anywhere
within the bounds of the law.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Honestly, I have no idea what's going on with that,
So I have can't you give you a question right now?
I'm on my way to work.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Honestly, I've just got back from Spain, so I'm like
literally trying to get work done.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Well. I was trying to get work done too this morning, Larry.
So as you hear, some people really invested in President
Trump sort of getting taken down by these files in
a sense, and other people just really curious about what happens.
They really want information behind closed doors.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I thought that was leading to a SoundBite. I apologize. Yeah,
I for the longest time have been conflicted about this story, Natalie.
At first I thought it was ridiculous. At first, I
thought it's over. He's dead, she's in jail. Why do
we have to continue talking about this? But I think
that the people that you talked with are are Some
(05:09):
of them are a little bit misguided in their politics,
but they are certainly on the right track that this
is right now. I believe this is all political, because
why else except for the fact. Except for the fact,
and this is a big exception, there may be some
powerful men who committed crimes and got away with it
(05:30):
because they were powerful, they were rich, and they had connections.
If the victims want them exposed, I'm all with them.
And so that is the only wholesome truth, That is
the only thing that we should be going after. The
politics of it really doesn't concern me.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Right, I'd be interested to see if somebody, you know,
was willing to publicly point fingers, especially if these victims
were coming forward as in this is the person and
name people. It's really interesting too that a lot of
names are redacted in these files, so you're not really
sure who was on the flights, like who was in
the flight logs and everything like that. So I think
(06:12):
people who are super invested, maybe not this morning, but
people who are super invested in this case really want
the nitty gritty. They want to understand you know, who's involved,
and you're right, powerful people. They want them held accountable.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, and you can't redact a videotape, So if there
are videotapes and there's faces there, you can show those
faces and that's proof in court. So that's what I'm
the most interested in this whole thing. Thanks so much,
Natalie Miglioreo.
