Hello and welcome to the Vlogging Pod.
Epstein Files are back in the headlines
this week, and this time the
revelations cut even deeper into
the circles of wealth and influence that
long surrounded Jeffrey
Epstein. On September
25th, the Epstein estate delivered a

(00:24):
third batch of materials to Congress. A
massive collection of calendars,
call logs, and financial ledgers stretching
from 2010 to
2019. Within
those records are mentions of some of the
most recognizable names in business and
politics, including Elon Musk, Peter
Thiel, Stephen Bannon, and Prince Andrew.

(00:47):
One calendar entry dated December 6,
2014 reads Elon Musk to Island,
December 6th. Is this still
happening? A note that's already
fueling new speculation about the scope of
Epstein's connections during those
years. Other entries describe
scheduled lunches with
Thiel in 2017and breakfast

(01:09):
meetings with Bannon in 2019, as well
as a 2000 flight manifest
manifest listing Prince
Andrew aboard Epstein private jet.
Just one day later, on September 26th, House
Democrats released portions of those to the
public, redacted but detailed enough to
expose the pattern of high profile

(01:30):
meetings and travel arrangements
that defined Epstein's social reach.
They say this release shows why full
transparency is necessary
and have now introduced A
bipartisan and is charge petition to
force a House vote. That
would compel the Department of Justice to
release all remaining sealed

documents. The push for
openness, they argue, isn't about
sensationalism, it's about accountability.
Meanwhile, the outside the halls of
Congress, the controversy took on an
unexpected form. On September
23rd, a bronze
painted statue of the head of this

administration holding hands with Epstein,
appeared overnight on the National
Mall. It was titled Best Friends Forever.
Within 24hours on September
24th, it was removed by US
Park Police for being installed without a
permit. The artist's message was
clear. Even as some tried to downplay
Epstein's ties to the powerful, the

(02:34):
public isn't ready to look
away. Adding even more pressure,
survivors and advocate groups
announced they'll be publishing their own
independent compilation of Epstein's known
associates, rejecting the narrative that
there's no client list. Whether
Congress or citizens investigators reveal the

(02:54):
full picture first, one thing is
certain. The Epstein files
are far from closed, and the push for
truth is louder than
ever. Today's sources come
from Epstein Estate turns over new
documents. Politico House Democrats
released new records for Epstein Estates.
