Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm getting better through Westchester, still heavy through the lock
when split northbound four seventy one backs up past Grand
and there's a wreck on the ramp from Kellogg to
westbound two seventy five. Then slow onto the bridge thanks
to the new lane configuration coming up. Next, Bryan talks
to the latest defensive end for the Bengals. I it's

(00:20):
certainly better than what we have on the field right now,
and brings up an interesting twist for this weekend's game,
The Judge versus the Patriots Chuck Ingram on fifty five
krs the talk station, Hey.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Thirty one, fifty five KRCD talk station, No insult to
Judgeita Polatana, but things have gotten so bad that we
need the Judge join.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Our defensive end.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Unbelievable that a laugh of you, said me, Judge of Polatana.
But it may be a reflection of just how bad
things are for the Begels, which is an accurate statement.
Lord Almighty.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
It wasn't that long ago. Win they were flying high
and Joe Burrow was the talk not just of Cincinnati,
but of the entire sports world.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, glass jaw, turf toe Burrow. I feel badly for
the poor guy, but every time he gets up from
an injury, he ends up getting another injury. I'm not
sure we got in a good ROI on that investment,
but we'll hope Spring's eternal for the cincinne Bengals Judge
of Polton, and we'll keep see what happens. I obviously
did you hear. I was just talking to Congressman A.

(01:29):
Massy about these Epstein files, and I kept, you know,
why were they so just insistent on not releasing these?
And as it turns out, it probably is because the
FBI is going to be revealed for the incompetent organization
that may be or the corrupt one. A lot of
women claim to have been molested as fourteen to fifteen
year olds. He's got hundreds of them. There were a

(01:49):
thousand of them reportedly involved in this sexual trafficking with Epstein. Obviously,
it wasn't just Epstein who was engaging in the sexual conduct.
There were a lot of others swirling about his network
of friends, many of whom these women have confirmed did
indeed molest them. Congress Massy's looking for some justice for
those folks. But cash Betel said, oh, there's nothing there.

(02:09):
But he didn't even bother. Looking at the FBI investigative files,
these women came forward, they recorded the information, yet there
were no criminal prosecutions that came about from this, suggesting
that the more connected you are, the higher up you
are in the political echelon, the less likely these you're
going to be held accountable for your crimes.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
You know. Professor Alan Dershowitz was Epstein's lawyer who negotiated
the most fantastic sweetheart plea agreement which resulted in either
weekends only or weekdays only I forget, which in a

(02:50):
low level confinement environment for thirteen months, notwithstanding the vast
number of underage victims that were involved. This was negotiated
by the then US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida,
which includes where Epstein was living at the time, who
eventually became the Secretary of Labor in the first Trump administration,

(03:12):
Alexander Acosta. When Acosta was interrogated under oath about this
by the House Judiciary Committee, he insisted that no one
ever told him that Epstein was involved in intel and
therefore was protected. So I don't know who's being truthful here,

(03:33):
but I agree obviously with what you said, my hat
is off to the extraordinary personal courage of our dear friend,
Congressman Thomas Massi and my congratulations to him on his
beginning his new life. But back to his political life.
You know, missus Abelson can throw all the cats you wanted,

(03:53):
then nobody that's running against him. Thomas Massey is not
only the personification of fidelity the Constitution, He's personification of
personal courage and intellectual honesty. And I'm sure his constituents
will recognize that. And he has said to you, me
and others that there are names in there being protected,

(04:16):
and some of those names are probably FBI agents. So
the FBI wants to be protected, the Intel people with
whom Epstein was involved, Cia Massad, and probably six that's
the British want to be protected. And Congressman Massey also
said yesterday or the day before, and I wasn't able

(04:37):
to hear your entire interview with him because of another
commitment I had here that he expects some resistance not
from the President, but from the powers that be in
the DOJ excuses for not revealing what they don't want
to reveal. I mean, people could lose their careers over

(04:57):
what is about to be revealed, of how mightily they
will struggle to prevent it from coming out.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Amen. But you know what if they deserve to lose
their careers for what they have done untoward criminal conduct,
perhaps sweeping information under the rug in the name of
protecting other people, candidly, they deserve to lose their.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed, Brian, I'm sorry my answer was
so long as Alice in Wonderland once said, gets curious
or and curious, sir every time you.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Look at it, and it is and it will continue
to be because you know, the points you just made
are going to result in the Department of Justice redacting
almost everything in the first round of production, and then
they're going to have to explain the redactions according to
the law that's been passed or it will soon be
passed or signed into law by the Trump by Trump.
But that they're going to be a fight over those
reactions and other undisclosed information as we move forward. So

(05:49):
I don't think the Fat Lady has yet sung on
the whole issue yet.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
I got to point out one other piece of nonsense
that the DOJ will use. Last week, the President ordered
the DOJ to investigate Democrats that he believes were involved
with Epstein. Well, this raises two interesting issues. One, the
DOJ is absolutely prohibited from investigating anyone based upon their

(06:14):
political affiliation. And two, Epstein's been dead since twenty nineteen,
that is six years ago, that is outside the statute
of limitations of five years. The DOJ is prohibited if
I'm investigating anybody that they can't prosecute, and that nobody
can be prosecuted after the statute limitations has expired. So

(06:37):
this excuse we're investigating people and therefore we can't cough
up our file is a meaningless excuse, and I hope
the Congress sees right through it.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
I'm glad you brought that up, because, honestly, Jesseph Paul Towney,
you're the first person to sort of raise the spector
of the Statute of limitations and that sort of demands
asking is there a statute limitations in connection with being
raped as a minor? For the women who really are
demanding justice at this point, late stage in the game,
it may be do they can they hope for any
justice if names are reviewed.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
They can, they can hope for civil litigation, but not
for criminal prosecution.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Well, civil litigation has a way of, at least financially,
trying to unring or undo the bell of harm that's
been done to them, and it certainly never does.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
There were many civil cases. Two lawyers that are friends
of mine were involved on opposite side, David Boyce and
Arthur I. Dallas. So I don't know how those litigations
ended up. I don't know the size of the Epstein estate.
The man was very wealthy. I don't even know how
he raised how he acquired his wealth was actually blackmail.

(07:45):
Who well knows well?

Speaker 2 (07:48):
How does one become a CIA operative and foremant? How
does one become connected so much with all of these
wealthy and extremely influential people. How is it a memory
of Congress is getting questions fed from him real time
during a hearing. I just find the whole thing to
be just bizarre, your honor. I hopefully the answer will
come with the release of these.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Documents, right right that some of the documents are probably
going to embarrass the president. I don't think there's pictures
of him with his clothes off, but I think there
are communications involving him that he would just assume not
have to address things that he may have said or
done thoughtlessly many years ago. I'm not suggesting any criminal

(08:32):
behavior at all, but just stuff he would just as
soon not have to deal with right now, in the
midst of his second presidency.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Right, but stuff he's capable of managing. I'm sure he
can provide the exculpatory information to the extent his name
is revealed, and he could say the same thing about
anybody else's name who pops up. If you weren't guilty
of anything, you got a bully pulpit, you're a multi billionaire,
you hung out with the guy, explain yourself to the
American public and let them digest and then draw their
own conclusions. We're all kind of stuck in that position

(08:59):
in this day.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Alston Epstein was very generous to his alma mater, Harvard University,
and drew into his orbit the then president of Harvard,
Larry Summers, who, after he resigned as the president of Harvard,
became the Secretary of the Treasury and now is issuing
all kinds of statements. He regrets his involvement with Epstein.
I don't know what the involvement was. Did he just

(09:21):
have dinner with the guy, or he spend time on
that island doing things that were inappropriate. I'm not suggesting
he did. I think Larry Summers is a very smart guy.
I listened to him all the time on another network.
But this is the type of name that's going to
come out that's going to force people to make public statements.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Finally get into the bottom of it after all this time,
judg ennit of Politano Judging Freedom is your podcast? Who
are you talking with today? Is? We got to close
out the segment.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
I have the great Colonel Douglas McGregor on, who is
convinced that war is coming for the United States and Venezuela,
know in Iran and soon.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Oh God, we'll talk about that soon, I hope, Judgment
and Apoloitano. God bless you appreciate your willingness to come
on the program.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
If you will, thank you, my friend, all the best
to you.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
