The Epstein scandal is rapidly evolving into a crisis that rivals—if not surpasses—the most infamous presidential scandals in American history, such as Watergate and Iran-Contra. Those scandals were rooted in political corruption and abuse of power, but the Epstein saga carries a darker, more corrosive weight: it implicates multiple presidents, across party lines, in a web of sexual exploitation, human trafficking, financial criminality, and intelligence-style operations spanning decades. The scope is unprecedented—its network crosses borders, infiltrates global finance, academia, politics, intelligence, philanthropy, and celebrity culture. Unlike previous scandals that were geographically contained and structurally centralized, the Epstein story touches nearly every institution that claims moral authority, revealing systemic rot rather than isolated wrongdoing. It has become a mirror exposing how power is actually wielded behind closed doors.
What makes this scandal uniquely explosive is the ongoing cover-up. Americans watched both Republican and Democratic presidents minimize the story, suppress documents, seal evidence, and insist on silence despite mountains of public testimony, lawsuits, and survivor accounts. When a sitting president calls Epstein’s operation a “hoax,” and another pretends distance despite private flights and personal visits, it shatters the illusion that leadership is ever truly accountable. Watergate toppled a presidency; Iran-Contra nearly did the same. But the Epstein scandal cuts deeper, because it strikes at the heart of trust—the belief that children are protected, justice is real, and leaders represent the public rather than shield a predatory elite. If the truth ever fully emerges, the political fallout could dwarf every scandal that came before it, forcing a reckoning far beyond partisan loyalties.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. We have been through some scandals as a country,
whether it's Watergate or the Iran Contra affair. There have
been some gigantic scandals for American presidents. But could the
Epstein scandal be the biggest of all? Well? Quite possibly,
(00:21):
because when you peel back all the layers of the onion,
what it reveals about power and the elite that lord
over us is terrifying. And I know a lot of
people want it to call that kind of thing a
conspiracy theory, but it's always been right there in plain sight.
And the people that are in control aren't some people
in some little cabal somewhere. It's the masters of the universe,
(00:41):
the financial sector, and the people that are around them.
And that is the beauty, if you want to call it,
of the cover story that they've built in. And of
course that cover story has to do with all kinds
of conspiracies wrapped into one to make everybody look crazy,
and that's always been the plan. Right, Oh, this couldn't
be real. There's no way this is a right wing conspiracy.
(01:02):
There aren't a bunch of people that are controlling the
whole world ale breaking news there are, They're just not
the people that qan On was telling you about. Instead,
it's all those people that get up on TV in
all those fancy ass suits and tell you a bunch
of bullshit, you know, the Jamie Diamonds of the world.
Those are the real masters of the universe. He who
controls the purse strings controls the whole party. And if
(01:26):
you think Congress is really at the sticks, you're not
paying attention. Where do you think all of them get funding?
Where do you think all of those people get the
money they need to run for office. It doesn't just
fall out of the sky. And you can only collect
so many five dollars donations from the people, right, So
of course these people are in bed with all kinds
of undesirables. And the point of getting in bed with
(01:48):
them is that the people that are dolling out the
dough they have demands. Hey, look, I'd like you to
massage this law. Hey why don't you talk to your
committee about this? You know, etc. Etc. And that's how
it works. But when we're looking at scandals overall, and
we're looking at the depth of those scandals, in my opinion,
I think this one is going to end up being,
(02:09):
if not the worst scandal of all time in American history,
right near the top. So today we have an article
from The Hill and the headline is the Epstein scandal
the biggest in American presidential history. This article was authored
by Juan Williams. You tell me, is the Jeffrey Epstein
scandal the biggest in US presidential history? The twenty twenty
(02:31):
six elections will answer the question. Rising grocery prices will
be the obvious issue in next year's midterms. But no
story speaks more powerfully about the rise of the super
rich to political dominance in this era than the Epstein
sex scandal. Well look not for nothing, Jan Williams. I've
been trying to warn you, bro, you're too busy doing
(02:52):
other things. A lot of you people were. Now I
will say this better late than ever, so welcome to
the party. But there's no doubt that this has been
going on for a very long time, and it's both sides,
Make no mistake, it's both sides. The amount of dirty ass,
gross money that both sides take from people that they
should be taking money from is absurd and it needs
(03:15):
to be dealt with but it never will be because
the people that are making the laws, the people that
are in charge of all this shit, well, they're the
ones benefiting. So why would they change anything, Why would
they take money out of their pocket to make the
country better. That's not why they ran for office. They
ran for office to make themselves richer. And unfortunately that's
just the truth. The scandal supports the suspicion that today
(03:39):
a privileged class of men can get away with sexual
abuse of teen girls. The suspicion leads to a telling question,
why have the president and Republican members of Congress run
interference for rich, powerful abusers of young women. That's a
fair statement, it's true. Why are they running interference right now?
And don't give me what about isms? Because I lit
(04:01):
up the Biden administration as well, and the first Trump
administration and the Bush administration and the Clinton administration. But
the boss is the boss now and that's the Trump administration.
And they're the ones that are holding the sticks, right
They're the ones that can release the files, they're the
ones that can damage the release, and they're the ones
that can stand in the way of us getting anything.
(04:23):
So it's important to make sure we hold everybody accountable,
but you have to be very careful of people using
what aboutism to try and make their point and throw
you off the track. So I don't even engage in
that shit. When somebody goes in with or what about ism,
my comment is sure, we'll get to that in a minute.
But right now we're talking about your guy, and I
have bad news for you. Your guy is an enabler. Sorry,
(04:47):
those are the facts, and not only that, he's engaging
in a cover up right here in real time. And
anybody who denies it or doesn't see it is either
wilfully blind or just dumb. At any point, President Trump
could have released the Epstein files. He did not. House
Speaker Mike Johnson could have pushed for a vote to
(05:07):
release the files. Instead, he kept the US House of
Representative shut down for nearly two months. His move delayed
the release of redacted files relating to Epstein's alleged child
sex trafficking network. Glenn Maxwell was convicted for participating in
that abuse, while Epstein died before a trial. When the
House was about to vote on releasing the files, Representative
(05:28):
Lauren Bobert was summoned to the Trump White House and
taken to the situation room where Attorney General an FBI
director attempted to pressure her to vote against releasing the files.
What kind of bullshit is that? And if that's not
a cover up, I don't know what is. That's not
whipping votes, that's trying to intimidate somebody to do what
you want them to do. And Marjorie Taylor Green she
(05:51):
ain't having it anymore either. She decided the whole party
is disgusting and she's leaving. It's like she walked into
a diddy white party and realized how fuck things were.
And so she's finally had enough and she's out too.
And if you would have told me a year ago
that I'd have a favorable opinion of Marjorie Taylor Green,
I would have told you to get off the acid,
(06:11):
because she was another one that was causing a bunch
of chaos, all the division, all the bullshit. That's not
helping anybody. We need to be able to talk to
each other like adults, no attacks, no bullshit, just adults.
And that means dealing with harsh truths. And obviously that's
not something that Donald Trump has any desire to do.
Trump vilified representative Marjorie Taylor Green for supporting the release
(06:34):
of the files. She said Trump's criticism of her as
a trader and wacky was a dog whistle to dangerous
radicals and put her life in danger. The fear she
felt led her to admit she had a small understanding
of the fear and pressure of the women victims of
Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal must feel. Like, imagine for
a minute that these people have the kind of power
(06:56):
they can force a sitting congresswoman to retire, because that's
basically what they're doing. What you really think, Marjorie Taylor
Green wanted to retire. This is all based on her
support of the Epstein files being released, so she should be.
And like I told you a couple of weeks ago,
I don't care what side of the aisle you're on.
I don't care what your background is, I don't care
(07:18):
about any of it. If you're willing to stand shoulder
or shoulder and go after these people, we're homies. That's it.
And whatever policy related issues that we disagree on, we
can get to that later. But this is common ground
right here, and anybody who is not going crazy about
what's going on is on Team Predator. And that's just
how I feel at this point. I mean, is there
(07:39):
really any gray area here? Even if you don't believe
the larger story about intelligence or anything like that, there
is no doubt that Jeffrey Epstein was abusing fourteen year
old girls three four a day down in Florida, and
people knew about that too, So you can try and say, oh, well,
this is all just a big conspiracy. Jeffrey Epstein had
(08:01):
nothing to do with intelligence, there was no blackmail, there
was nobody else. Well, how do you deal with Florida? Then?
How do you answer for that? Nobody should be held
accountable for what went down in Florida. Nobody should be
held accountable for the NPA, Nobody should be held accountable
for covering it up. Now, like, how the fuck do
you even justify that? How do you justify that thought
(08:21):
pattern or even thinking it's okay? There is no justification
for any of this. Green soon announced her resignation from Congress.
Trump had threatened to support a primary challenge against her
in the midterms. This has been one of the most
destructive things to MAGA. Watching the man that we supported
early on three elections opposed the Bill, She told reporters,
(08:43):
watching this actually turn into a fight has rip Mago
apart one thousand percent without a doubt. Now, the hardcore
MAGA they're going to stick around. But the independence that
actually delivered the victory to Trump, they've all abandoned shit
because those people aren't beholden who a man. They were
beholding to the idea that he was going to come
(09:03):
in and shake things up, that he was going to
fight for the people. Well we got hustled. Hate to
say it, but the hustle was on and Donald Trump
and his people have done nothing this second term but
enriched themselves. Meanwhile, the rest of us are looking around like,
what the fuck is happening right now? How did we
wake up in this nightmare? But the one sliver of
(09:25):
good news is people are waking up, and when people
wake up, they demand accountability, and hopefully that's where this
all ends up, with people being held accountable. Wall Street
Journal columnist Peggy Noonan wrote last week that what's driving
this story isn't conspiracism or mystery. It's a feeling of betrayal.
(09:45):
She said it was a failure of the nation's power players,
the elite, to protect children and to protect the vulnerable altogether. Look,
just because somebody was eighteen or nineteen years old, they
don't deserve to be protected from a monster like Epstein.
I'm sorry, but you're never going to get me to
agree with that. Now. Of course, the most heinous crime
you can commit is against children, But that doesn't mean
(10:07):
that if you committed a crime against somebody who's twenty
one or nineteen, that we should ignore it. Fuck no,
you're a predator. You're a piece of shit, and there's
not a hell hot enough for you. Noonan asked a
question with potential to echo through the twenty six elections.
Why is the president pushing so hard to thwart disclosure
of the Epstein files? Is it that his name was
(10:29):
all over the files? Noonan wrote. She asked why the
president and so many other prominent men remained close to
Epstein after hepleated guilty in two thousand and eight to
sexual abuse the children. Credit to Miami Herald investigative journalist
Julie K. Brown, who first exposed Epstein and has stayed
on the story for a decade. Well, I have my
(10:49):
thoughts about that as well. Great job with the actual
first piece, but Julie K. Brown hasn't really stepped up
to the plate the way she should. There's been a
lot of work done while Julie Kay Brown has been
sitting around enjoying herself and basking in the glory. So
kudos for the original story, but it doesn't just stop there.
The war is raged, and the war has continued, and now,
(11:11):
of course Julie K. Brown has stepped back into the
scene because the story is catching tread again. Meanwhile, some
people have never stopped talking about it. Huge payments to
Ebstein by some of the world's richest men remain unexplained.
No one in the Trump administration has explained the recent
transfer of Glenn Maxwell to a lower security prison in Texas,
(11:32):
where she now enjoys custom mules and therapy puppies. The
warden of the prison has reportedly said she is tired
of being Maxwell's bitch, Like what And if you think
we're done talking about that story, you're crazy. Plenty more
to talk about when it comes to Maxwell and that move,
And unfortunately, the way things are going, I doubt we're
going to get any answers when it comes to Maxwell
(11:54):
and them stashing her at Camp Brian. Just more of
that move on, nothing to see here. Kind of aude
from the so called most transparent administration in history, and
though it received little attention, major questions remained about former
Trump Labor Secretary Alex Acosta's role in the affair. In
September congressional testimony, Acosta said he gave a relatively light
(12:17):
plea deal to Epstein because federal prosecutors were dealing with
uncooperative witnesses and evidentary issues. BS. That's not true. They
were not. They gave it to them because they were
told to by Mukhesy, by Philippe and by the bosses
at the DOJ. That's how this works. You really think
that a line prosecutor or even in Ausa, is leading
(12:39):
the whole entire orchestra here, stop it. Bro's playing the
trumpet at best. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said
Acosta's testimony was non credible and charged them with allowing
a sweetheart deal in which Epstein continued to abuse young women. Well,
that's true, that is definitely true. Acosta is a piece
of shit, but he's not responsible for the non prosecution agreement.
(13:02):
He just played a little part. In October, similarly troubling
questions emerged about Matt Gates, the former congressman who was
Trump's first choice to be his Attorney General at the
start of his term. A House Ethics Committee investigation concluded
there was evidence that Gates broke statutory rape law in
Florida by having sex with the teen girl, and last month,
(13:23):
newly released court documents revealed that the young woman was
a then homeless seventeen year old high schooler when she
met Gates. According to The New York Times, Oh that's
the predator's favorite, right. Vulnerable girl has no money, needs
some help. Matt Gates to the rescue, straight up. Gross.
Gates was never charged and denies having sex with young women,
(13:44):
but his friend Joel Greenberg, a Florida official, admitted to
sex trafficking the same seventeen year old and was given
an eleven year jail sentence. Oh well, it wasn't me,
it was my buddy. I had nothing to do with it.
As former Representative Liz Cheney said at the outset of
the January six hearings, to my Republican colleagues who are
defending the indefensible, there will come a day when Donald
(14:06):
Trump is gone. But your dishonor will remain. That day
is fast approaching to all the Republican members of Congress
and their staffers who may well be out of a
job this time next year. That reckoning is coming. And
there's no doubt it is because I don't think anybody
is under any illusions that there's going to be some
massive change here and that the Republicans are going to
(14:28):
hold the House or even the Senate come the midterms,
and it's all by their own bullshit. They're losing it
because they're not capable of keeping it. Voters are unlikely
to fall for the President's attempts to distract and divert
attention from the growth of potentially the greatest presidential scandal
in American history. It's now up to the media to
(14:49):
keep asking questions, keep this story alive until the truth
is revealed. Voters will speak truth to power when they
go to the polls in November of twenty twenty six.
Oh well, Jan Williams shows up out of nowhere and
starts talking about accountability. This is another guy who called
it a conspiracy theory that was cooked up by MAGA,
But now all of a sudden he wants accountability. And
(15:09):
justice too. All right, well, better late than never, But bro,
don't piss on my back and tell me it's raining.
And there's a lot of that going on when it
comes to the legacy media. But the truth is, the
more attention the better, because the more information you folks have,
the more well armed you are. And when you're battling
an enemy like this who loves to use misdirection, obfuscation,
(15:31):
and bullshit, the best weapon you have against that is
the truth. So, like usual, we're going to continue to
strive for that, and we're gonna continue to swim through
all this muck looking for clarity, and every time we
come up for a breath, we're gonna scream the same thing.
It's time to release the files. All of the information
that goes with this episode can be found in the
(15:54):
description box.
What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. We have been through some scandals as a country,
whether it's Watergate or the Iran Contra affair. There have
been some gigantic scandals for American presidents. But could the

just because somebody was eighteen or nineteen years old, they
don't deserve to be protected from a monster like Epstein.
I'm sorry, but you're never going to get me to
agree with that. Now. Of course, the most heinous crime
you can commit is against children, But that doesn't mean
(10:07):
that if you committed a crime against somebody who's twenty
one or nineteen, that we should ignore it. Fuck no,
you're a predator. You're a piece of shit, and there's
not a hell hot enough for you. Noonan asked a
question with potential to echo through the twenty six elections.
Why is the president pushing so hard to thwart disclosure
of the Epstein files? Is it that his name was
(10:29):
all over the files? Noonan wrote. She asked why the
president and so many other prominent men remained close to
Epstein after hepleated guilty in two thousand and eight to
sexual abuse the children. Credit to Miami Herald investigative journalist
Julie K. Brown, who first exposed Epstein and has stayed
on the story for a decade. Well, I have my
(10:49):
thoughts about that as well. Great job with the actual
first piece, but Julie K. Brown hasn't really stepped up
to the plate the way she should. There's been a
lot of work done while Julie Kay Brown has been
sitting around enjoying herself and basking in the glory. So
kudos for the original story, but it doesn't just stop there.
The war is raged, and the war has continued, and now,
(11:11):
of course Julie K. Brown has stepped back into the
scene because the story is catching tread again. Meanwhile, some
people have never stopped talking about it. Huge payments to
Ebstein by some of the world's richest men remain unexplained.
No one in the Trump administration has explained the recent
transfer of Glenn Maxwell to a lower security prison in Texas,
(11:32):
where she now enjoys custom mules and therapy puppies. The
warden of the prison has reportedly said she is tired
of being Maxwell's bitch, Like what And if you think
we're done talking about that story, you're crazy. Plenty more
to talk about when it comes to Maxwell and that move,
And unfortunately, the way things are going, I doubt we're
going to get any answers when it comes to Maxwell
(11:54):
and them stashing her at Camp Brian. Just more of
that move on, nothing to see here. Kind of aude
from the so called most transparent administration in history, and
though it received little attention, major questions remained about former
Trump Labor Secretary Alex Acosta's role in the affair. In
September congressional testimony, Acosta said he gave a relatively light
(12:17):
plea deal to Epstein because federal prosecutors were dealing with
uncooperative witnesses and evidentary issues. BS. That's not true. They
were not. They gave it to them because they were
told to by Mukhesy, by Philippe and by the bosses
at the DOJ. That's how this works. You really think
that a line prosecutor or even in Ausa, is leading
(12:39):
the whole entire orchestra here, stop it. Bro's playing the
trumpet at best. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said
Acosta's testimony was non credible and charged them with allowing
a sweetheart deal in which Epstein continued to abuse young women. Well,
that's true, that is definitely true. Acosta is a piece
of shit, but he's not responsible for the non prosecution agreement.
(13:02):
He just played a little part. In October, similarly troubling
questions emerged about Matt Gates, the former congressman who was
Trump's first choice to be his Attorney General at the
start of his term. A House Ethics Committee investigation concluded
there was evidence that Gates broke statutory rape law in
Florida by having sex with the teen girl, and last month,
(13:23):
newly released court documents revealed that the young woman was
a then homeless seventeen year old high schooler when she
met Gates. According to The New York Times, Oh that's
the predator's favorite, right. Vulnerable girl has no money, needs
some help. Matt Gates to the rescue, straight up. Gross.
Gates was never charged and denies having sex with young women,
(13:44):
but his friend Joel Greenberg, a Florida official, admitted to
sex trafficking the same seventeen year old and was given
an eleven year jail sentence. Oh well, it wasn't me,
it was my buddy. I had nothing to do with it.
As former Representative Liz Cheney said at the outset of
the January six hearings, to my Republican colleagues who are
defending the indefensible, there will come a day when Donald
(14:06):
Trump is gone. But your dishonor will remain. That day
is fast approaching to all the Republican members of Congress
and their staffers who may well be out of a
job this time next year. That reckoning is coming. And
there's no doubt it is because I don't think anybody
is under any illusions that there's going to be some
massive change here and that the Republicans are going to
(14:28):
hold the House or even the Senate come the midterms,
and it's all by their own bullshit. They're losing it
because they're not capable of keeping it. Voters are unlikely
to fall for the President's attempts to distract and divert
attention from the growth of potentially the greatest presidential scandal
in American history. It's now up to the media to
(14:49):
keep asking questions, keep this story alive until the truth
is revealed. Voters will speak truth to power when they
go to the polls in November of twenty twenty six.
Oh well, Jan Williams shows up out of nowhere and
starts talking about accountability. This is another guy who called
it a conspiracy theory that was cooked up by MAGA,
But now all of a sudden he wants accountability. And
(15:09):
justice too. All right, well, better late than never, But bro,
don't piss on my back and tell me it's raining.
And there's a lot of that going on when it
comes to the legacy media. But the truth is, the
more attention the better, because the more information you folks have,
the more well armed you are. And when you're battling
an enemy like this who loves to use misdirection, obfuscation,
(15:31):
and bullshit, the best weapon you have against that is
the truth. So, like usual, we're going to continue to
strive for that, and we're gonna continue to swim through
all this muck looking for clarity, and every time we
come up for a breath, we're gonna scream the same thing.
It's time to release the files. All of the information
that goes with this episode can be found in the

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
