00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.439
What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
2
00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:08.839
Epstein Chronicles. For the past couple of years, Marshall Blackburn
3
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:12.160
has talked a big game when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein,
4
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:19.079
talking about how she wants transparency, talking about financial records,
5
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:23.039
talking about getting information from the irs, and look, all
6
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:25.160
of that would be great if she was willing to
7
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.559
follow through with any of it. But one thing that
8
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:31.760
we have learned over the past year is that people
9
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:36.359
like Senator Blackburn are not serious when it comes to
10
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:41.119
transparency and justice in the realm of Epstein. And Miss
11
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:43.600
Blackburn and many of her associates had a lot to
12
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.159
say about Epstein previously, but now all of a sudden,
13
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.479
Oh it's a big hoax. Oh well, I don't mean
14
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.320
those records, just the other ones, just from the people
15
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.320
I don't like. And that's what it comes down to.
16
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.320
Marshall Blackburn was interested in the story and interested in
17
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.240
promoting transparency in truth when she thought there would Pino
18
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.519
slap back on her faves. But now that there is,
19
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.840
it's a different conversation, right, and everybody should just, you know,
20
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.159
move on. Today's article is from the Nashville Banter and
21
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.359
the headline Senator accuses Blackburn of declining to support subpoenas
22
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:24.439
over epstein financials. This article was authored by Sarah Grace Taylor.
23
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.239
A new report by Senate Democrats claims that Senator Marshall
24
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.879
Blackburn refused to help subpoena financial records related to Jeffrey Epstein.
25
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.560
I wonder why. I wonder who passed word down from
26
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.719
a pie, because we all know the administration wants nothing
27
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.920
to do with transparency either. And remember Blackburn had a
28
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.319
chance to stop Todd Blanche from becoming the Attorney General,
29
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:54.439
and she sure had no problem signing off on that. Huh.
30
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:57.799
The report by Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, released last week,
31
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.280
suggested that major banks including j AP, Morgan Chase, Bank
32
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:05.000
of America, and Deutsche Bank failed to report concerns about
33
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.879
Epstein's financial transactions from as far back as two thousand
34
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:13.159
and two until after the millionaire financier Pedophile was arrested
35
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:17.439
on sex trafficking charges in twenty nineteen. Well, we know
36
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.560
that for sure. And if you're looking for a boogeyman,
37
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.800
as I've told you from the very beginning, just take
38
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.360
a look at the financial sector. It's littered with evil people.
39
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:31.479
And I truly mean that, and I don't mean evil
40
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:33.840
in the sense that you hear online, right, Oh, this
41
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:38.120
person's a demon. I mean truly evil, someone that doesn't
42
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.000
give a goddamn about anything but their own wealth and
43
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.560
their own power. And that's the whole entire financial sector.
44
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.479
And I think that Jeffrey Epstein was just a window
45
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.400
into their overall conduct. What do you think Epstein's the
46
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:56.360
only scumbag that these people are in bed with. I
47
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.639
said from the start, if you want to get to
48
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.000
the bottom of Jeffrey Epstein's cover up, you have to
49
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.520
follow the money, Widen said in a statement accompanying the report.
50
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.280
And I have that report too, and now that we're
51
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.039
done with the new Mexico report, we're going to dive
52
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.280
into that because it's important. And while I certainly have
53
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.879
my doubts about mister Widen and his motivations, he's not
54
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.360
wrong when he says we have to follow the money,
55
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:22.159
and if you want to get to the bottom of
56
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.400
all of this, that's what you do. Follow that money,
57
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.759
and eventually you're gonna hit pay dirt if you do
58
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.919
a real investigation and you really follow through and use
59
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.039
all the tools available to the federal government. You're going
60
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:40.199
to find what you're looking for. This report's already made
61
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:44.000
roadmap for prosecutors, investigators, and members of Congress to finally
62
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:49.639
start holding the Epstein class accountable, he continued. In the report, Blackburn,
63
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.520
Tennessee's senior senator and the Republican nominee for governor, is
64
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.400
accused of ignoring efforts by Senate Democrats to subpoena the banks,
65
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.080
despite our public calls for transparency in the Epstein case
66
00:04:01.439 -->
Load full transcript
00:04:05.520
and punitive justice for sex offenders. All part of the hustle.
67
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.879
It was all fun in games when it wouldn't blow
68
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.120
back on our friends, But now that it's blowing back
69
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.199
on our friends and donors and donors of the president
70
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.600
and the president's friends, it's a big problem. And now
71
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:23.240
it's just a Democrat hoax, right, which is hilarious because
72
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.759
for years this was a creation of the right wing.
73
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.600
So whoever it's damaging politically, that side wants to call
74
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.199
it a hoax. And if you're wondering why I give
75
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:35.959
double middle fingers to both sides of the aisle, this
76
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.480
is it. There's not one single person in Congress or
77
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:43.639
the Senate that represents me. Okay. Now, if you feel differently,
78
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:49.160
that's totally fine. But me personally, I'm not represented by
79
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.879
any of these people. Widen, a ranking member and former
80
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.079
chair of the Senate Finance Committee, says he repeatedly went
81
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.879
to blackburn staff from twenty twenty four to twenty to
82
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.759
ask for her help as a Republican committee member to
83
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:07.879
subpoena Epstein bank records, as Blackburn had long been an
84
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:12.240
outspoken proponent of increased transparency with relation to Jeffrey Epstein,
85
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:16.160
but her office declined, Well, I wonder why. I wonder
86
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.680
why she declined. Did somebody reach out to her from
87
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:24.079
the administration. Did somebody say to or look, don't do this.
88
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.360
If you do, the President's going to pull his support
89
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:29.759
and you're going to end up like Marjorie Taylor Green
90
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:34.439
and Thomas Massey. Because that was the message that he
91
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:38.360
was sending. Right, got to sacrifice somebody, somebody has to
92
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.759
get clipped. We have to send a message to the
93
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.600
rest of the troops that there can't be any discontentment
94
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.600
amongst the ranks. And if there is well off with
95
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:51.560
your political head and the way that all of these
96
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.079
bitch ass senators and congressmen have fallen into line. I
97
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:59.639
would say that message has been received. The next year,
98
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.439
black Burne posted on social media claiming her efforts to
99
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.959
crack the Epstein trafficking ring wide open had been stonewalled
100
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:09.959
by Democrats at every turn, despite allegedly opting out of
101
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.000
helping Widen with the Finance Committee investigation. Doesn't shock me,
102
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:19.399
just another big mouth, all talk, no walk. That day,
103
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.920
Blackburn also wrote a letter to newly appointed FBI Director
104
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.879
Cash Betel, calling it paramount that the FBI provide full
105
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.680
transparency to the American people and immediately release the complete,
106
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:35.319
unredacted records. In this case. Specifically, Blackburn called for the
107
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.879
release of flight logs from Epstein's private helicopter and plane
108
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:43.120
records containing names of associates, including the infamous Little Black
109
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:47.199
Book maintained by Glenn Maxwell, footage from Epstein's Florida home,
110
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.959
and any other documents, records, or memoranda related to the
111
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.199
Jeffrey Epstein and Glene Maxwell matters until she got the
112
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.319
marching orders not to do that. Oh well, we've got
113
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:02.800
enough the big job on their hands. The President has
114
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:06.759
done more for the survivors than anybody else. This is
115
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.759
the bullshit that they keep giving us. And I don't
116
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.079
know about you, but I've had my phil not one
117
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:17.839
more bite. The same day, she wrote to the IRS
118
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.879
asking the agency to release any materials that reveal the
119
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.240
names of individuals and entities that held any type of
120
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:28.639
financial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein or Glene Maxwell. Well, that
121
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.279
would be nice. Did she follow up? Did she follow through?
122
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.319
Did she ever get that report? Of course she didn't
123
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:40.079
because she doesn't care. According to the report, Blackburn also
124
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.040
ignored her request from Widen in December to co sponsor
125
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:47.519
the produced Epstein Treasury Records Act, which would have required
126
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:52.160
the Treasury Department to share Epstein financial records with the Committee.
127
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:56.519
The bill currently has ten sponsors, all of whom are Democrats.
128
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:00.720
Why would the Republicans not want to see that? Why
129
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:04.480
wouldn't they want that information, unless, of course they're trying
130
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:08.519
to cover it up. And look, we all know that
131
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:13.839
the orders are coming from on high. The current administration
132
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:16.879
is calling all the plays. And when you have a
133
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.920
quarterback like that, you can't call an audible. You have
134
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.560
to do what you have to do. And all these
135
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.920
senators and congress people that are playing ball talk about cowards.
136
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.360
Literally the biggest cowards may be in the history of
137
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:37.159
American Congress. And that's saying something, folks. If Blackburn's elected governor,
138
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:40.240
she'll leave the Senate office in January and ostensibly have
139
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:43.519
no further role in the investigation into or records fight
140
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:47.440
surrounding Epstein and Maxwell. Still, the report paints a different
141
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:51.759
picture than Blackburn's public comments on Epstein and some campaign promises.
142
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.519
While breaking news, folks, you ready, Marshall Blackburn's a liar.
143
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:01.039
I know I'm breaking serious news here. Fuck Walter Cronkite.
144
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:06.960
Does anybody actually believe that Marshall Blackburn is not a liar?
145
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.120
Does anyone actually believe that Ron Wyden is not a liar?
146
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.720
During your campaign for governor, Blackburn has said that she'll
147
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.879
be tough on crime, specifically calling for sex offenders to
148
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.559
be executed. When asked if she would continue executions if
149
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.879
elected in a questionnaire by the Banner, Yo, I can
150
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.679
get down with that. I don't feel like you can
151
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.840
be redeemed if you hurt a child. Sorry, there's no
152
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:37.159
redeeming that. You're a sick fuck and you were broken
153
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.600
right from the factory. You're a lemon, and there's nothing
154
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.519
we can do to rehabilitate somebody like that. And that's why,
155
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.360
in my opinion, there's only one remedy for people who
156
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:53.960
do that kind of thing, and that remedy is helicopters volcanoes. Yes,
157
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.639
as soon as the criminal sentence to death has exhausted
158
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.480
all of his or her appeals, the state should execute them.
159
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.879
Blackburn and said as governor, I'll work closely to bring
160
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.519
back the electric chair so the victims' families can get
161
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.559
the closure that they deserve. If you rape or molest
162
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:12.320
our babies in Tennessee, you should get the death sentence. Well,
163
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:16.360
I can't disagree with that. Blackburn also told The Banner
164
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.440
last week that she would stay in the Senate Office
165
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.399
until sworn in as governor, which would set her up
166
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:25.519
to appoint her own replacement in the Senate. Neither Blackburn's
167
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:29.080
campaign nor Senate office staff responded to questions from The
168
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:33.679

hold people accountable. But when they get the chance to
