00:00:00.250 --> 00:00:04.009
What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
2
00:00:05.209 --> 00:00:09.800
New emails are revealing that JP Morgan was working with
3
00:00:09.859 --> 00:00:14.380
Jeffrey Epstein to try and lure Google co-founder Sergey Brin
4
00:00:14.900 --> 00:00:18.390
as a client. Now ask yourselves, why would JP Morgan
5
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.949
need Jeffrey Epstein to be the middleman to get somebody
6
00:00:21.989 --> 00:00:26.010
like Sergey Brin on board? Don't you think that Sergey
7
00:00:26.070 --> 00:00:29.070
Brin and his bank account says everything you need to
8
00:00:29.109 --> 00:00:31.980
know about the dude if you're JP Morgan? So where
9
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.640
the fuck does Jeffrey Epstein fit in? And how come
10
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.820
this idiot pops up every single time we're talking about
11
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:44.420
this reprehensible financial institution? Today's article is from the New
12
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:48.799
York Post and the headline. Email show JP Morgan working
13
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:53.119
with Jeffrey Epstein to lure Google co-founder Sergey Brin as
14
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:57.609
a client. According to to court documents. And remember, all
15
00:00:57.649 --> 00:01:00.469
of this stuff is from court documents now. It's not
16
00:01:00.509 --> 00:01:05.069
some Yahoo on Twitter talking nonsense or your cousin Joe
17
00:01:05.129 --> 00:01:08.310
telling you about a Reddit post. This is stuff that
18
00:01:08.349 --> 00:01:11.170
has been said now in open court, and that carries
19
00:01:11.209 --> 00:01:14.590
a lot more weight with me than innuendo or rumor.
20
00:01:15.650 --> 00:01:20.310
The author of this article is Shannon Thaler. Newly revealed
21
00:01:20.409 --> 00:01:24.430
emails and shed fresh light on JP Morgan's cozy ties
22
00:01:24.750 --> 00:01:28.890
with Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting that top bankers at the Wall
23
00:01:28.909 --> 00:01:33.790
Street giant bent over backwards to accommodate the dead pedophile
24
00:01:34.170 --> 00:01:37.709
as he helped them line up lucrative clients, including Google
25
00:01:37.969 --> 00:01:41.060
and its co-founder, Sergey Brin. And it really all comes
26
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.500
down to greed. How much is enough? You have all
27
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.480
of this money anyway as JP Morgan, all of these
28
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:51.159
high-profile clients, but it's never enough. we have to take
29
00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:54.799
on a scumbag pedophile as well because, you know, we
30
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.439
have to continue to stuff our pockets. I mean, it's
31
00:01:57.500 --> 00:02:02.439
expensive to buy elections, right? The U.S. Virgin Islands filed
32
00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:06.680
explosive court papers on Tuesday in Manhattan federal court to
33
00:02:06.739 --> 00:02:10.580
bolster its allegation that Epstein played a key role as
34
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:15.120
an investment advisor to the Silicon Valley search giant, Enbrin,
35
00:02:15.539 --> 00:02:19.849
whose personal portfolio of over $ 4 billion dollars was among
36
00:02:20.110 --> 00:02:22.969
the bank's largest. And what's so crazy to me is,
37
00:02:23.030 --> 00:02:26.039
you see how liberally they apply RICO to other people.
38
00:02:26.539 --> 00:02:30.120
How come RICO wasn't applied here? It fits all of
39
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.379
the predicates, it checks all of the boxes, and everything
40
00:02:34.419 --> 00:02:38.400
lines up. But somehow, Ghislaine Maxwell and the rest of
41
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:43.199
Jeffrey Epstein's band of scumbags has been able to avoid
42
00:02:43.490 --> 00:02:46.310
getting caught up in a Rico case. This shit right
43
00:02:46.330 --> 00:02:49.550
here was exactly what this law was drawn up for.
44
00:02:50.069 --> 00:02:53.879
But somehow, someway, eh, we're going to avoid Rico in
45
00:02:53.909 --> 00:02:56.159
the Epstein case. We're not going to hit Maxwell with
46
00:02:56.219 --> 00:03:00.319
Rico either because, well, you remember what Nancy Pelosi's daughter said?
47
00:03:00.659 --> 00:03:03.530
Our faves and all. We can't have our faves caught
48
00:03:03.610 --> 00:03:07.069
up in this. God forbid people find out about Ms. Rumler.
49
00:03:07.509 --> 00:03:11.370
God forbid people find out about Bill Richardson or George Mitchell.
50
00:03:11.770 --> 00:03:15.169
God forbid people find out about Reid Hoffman. But hey,
51
00:03:15.349 --> 00:03:19.080
have you folks heard about Alex Acosta? In an email
52
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.259
from 2006 that was unsealed on Tuesday, Mary Erdos, a
53
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.360
star banker who is now the CEO of J.P. Morgan's
54
00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:30.300
asset and wealth management division, urged colleagues to set up
55
00:03:30.340 --> 00:03:33.020
a team in New York to rather than in San Francisco,
56
00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:36.520
where Google and Bryn are based, to manage the accounts
57
00:03:36.860 --> 00:03:40.810
according to the court documents. Erdos wrote in the email,
58
00:03:41.099 --> 00:03:44.069
which had the subject line, Google, this has nothing to
59
00:03:44.129 --> 00:03:47.530
do with the abilities of the SF team. This is
60
00:03:47.569 --> 00:03:50.340
solely because our need to have a New York team
61
00:03:50.419 --> 00:03:54.319
cover a person, Jeffrey Epstein, as the advisor to the partners.
62
00:03:54.819 --> 00:03:58.740
That same day, Ann Borowich, then a managing director at J.P.
63
00:03:58.780 --> 00:04:01.979
Morgan's New Jersey private bank, shared a message with the
64
00:04:02.020 --> 00:04:06.139
subject line, big new business oppie, informing colleagues that a
65
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:09.539
New York-based team had been picked to work with Jeffrey
66
00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:14.069

Google founders. The filing showed, And the Gratz hustle
68
00:04:18.769 --> 00:04:21.810
is real. That's how all of these sick, disgusting, rich
69
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:24.920
billionaires keep all their dough. I have an episode in
70
00:04:24.939 --> 00:04:28.379
the catalog called The Gratz Hustle that discusses just how
71
00:04:28.459 --> 00:04:32.040
these billionaires use this system to keep all of their
72
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:35.759
money while you're having your Etsy account examined by 87,000
73
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:41.139
new IRS agents. Also that day, Borowich emailed several other
74
00:04:41.180 --> 00:04:44.600
JP Morgan employees, informing them, we are setting up a
75
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.079
conference call. It is to get the necessary background on
76
00:04:48.100 --> 00:04:53.279
the potential investment management opportunity associated with Jeffrey Epstein to
77
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.350
the trust set up on behalf of the Google founders' kids.
78
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.829
It is unclear if Borowich was referring to Brin, though
79
00:05:00.889 --> 00:05:04.470
banker Robert A. Keller wrote in a memo when Brin
80
00:05:04.509 --> 00:05:08.290
became a JP Morgan client, We work very closely with
81
00:05:08.310 --> 00:05:11.910
the Sergey Brin family office and communicate with them at
82
00:05:11.970 --> 00:05:16.649
least one time per day. Brin, a 49-year-old father of three,
83
00:05:17.009 --> 00:05:20.089
is now number 11 on Forbes list with a net
84
00:05:20.129 --> 00:05:26.709
worth of $ 104. 2 billion. When you have $ 104. 2 billion, you
85
00:05:26.740 --> 00:05:29.339
don't get caught up in RICO cases. Well, not unless
86
00:05:29.379 --> 00:05:33.060
you cross intelligence. What did Chuck Schumer tell us? If
87
00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:35.620
you cross intelligence, they'll find a way to get you
88
00:05:35.779 --> 00:05:38.959
three ways till Sunday or whatever. That's reassuring coming from
89
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:43.689
a senior senator, huh? Nothing like a out-of-control CIA and
90
00:05:43.730 --> 00:05:49.250
intelligence division. JP Morgan responded to the lawsuit's allegations today,
91
00:05:49.569 --> 00:05:53.129
saying rather than account for its own failures to investigate
92
00:05:53.449 --> 00:05:57.920
and monitor this criminal under its jurisdiction, USVI blames a
93
00:05:57.949 --> 00:06:02.360
bank that did not have USVI's authority to enforce any law.
94
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.779
And the USVI is spot on with that. As much
95
00:06:05.819 --> 00:06:08.480
as I hate to give them any sort of ground,
96
00:06:09.579 --> 00:06:13.339
They're definitely spot on with that. They didn't have subpoena power. J.P.
97
00:06:13.379 --> 00:06:17.339
Morgan couldn't compel anyone to come to court and give testimony.
98
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.959
But the United States Virgin Islands sure could. And they
99
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.779
didn't do anything like that. Instead, they got into bed
100
00:06:23.819 --> 00:06:26.800
with Jeffrey Epstein, gave him all kinds of benefits and
101
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.920
took his money. Any association with Epstein was a mistake.
102
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.180
And in hindsight, we regret it. But we did not
103
00:06:34.220 --> 00:06:38.490
help him commit his heinous crimes. a JP Morgan spokesperson added.
104
00:06:39.069 --> 00:06:41.490
We would never have continued to do business with him
105
00:06:41.910 --> 00:06:45.189
if we believed he was engaged in an ongoing sex
106
00:06:45.209 --> 00:06:49.389
trafficking operation. Well, that doesn't cut it. We've seen the emails,
107
00:06:49.449 --> 00:06:52.290
JP Morgan. And for as much as we want to
108
00:06:52.350 --> 00:06:56.850
talk about USVI having responsibility to stop this dude, so
109
00:06:56.910 --> 00:07:00.810
did the financial sector. So did JP Morgan. And they
110
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:05.620
all failed. Google and Brin didn't immediately respond to requests
111
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:10.550
for comment. Another email exchange, including the bombshell documents, revealed
112
00:07:10.569 --> 00:07:14.759
that JP Morgan's current chief executive, Jamie Dimon, worked with
113
00:07:14.819 --> 00:07:17.899
a team of other executives, as well as Epstein, on
114
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:23.120
the bank's acquisition of investment management firm, Highbridge. And another connection.
115
00:07:23.500 --> 00:07:26.649
Where do you think they got Highbridge from? Oh, that's right.
116
00:07:26.889 --> 00:07:29.790
Glenn Dubin. Where do we know Glenn Dubin from? Well,
117
00:07:30.089 --> 00:07:33.990
he's being credibly accused as one of the abusers of
118
00:07:34.050 --> 00:07:37.980
Virginia Roberts. but that's okay, we won't talk about him either, right?
119
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:42.339
Let's talk more about Alex Acosta. Meanwhile, all these ties
120
00:07:42.420 --> 00:07:46.649
between Glenn Dubin, Jeffrey Epstein, JP Morgan, and the rest
121
00:07:46.689 --> 00:07:49.930
of these scuzzballs just continues to fly under the radar.
122
00:07:50.569 --> 00:07:54.230
The so-called Project Alpha group included Jeff Staley, who would
123
00:07:54.290 --> 00:07:58.680
later become CEO of UK banking giant Barclays before he
124
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.439
was toppled by the Epstein scandal in 2021. Diamond, who
125
00:08:03.500 --> 00:08:07.300
hadn't yet taken over as the bank's chief executive, billionaire
126
00:08:07.339 --> 00:08:14.069
Highbridge co-founder Glenn Dubin, and Epstein, among others. Once JPMorgan
127
00:08:14.089 --> 00:08:18.569
completed its Highbridge purchase in 2004, Staley requested that an
128
00:08:18.750 --> 00:08:22.529
email be sent to Diamond and Dubin with Epstein blind copied,
129
00:08:22.949 --> 00:08:26.360
according to the court papers. Jamie Diamond had no idea, though.
130
00:08:27.620 --> 00:08:30.120
Everything was on the up and up, according to Jamie Diamond,
131
00:08:30.399
--> 00:08:34.700
and Jeffrey Epstein wasn't a scumbag. He asked that the
132
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.769
email say, you've done an amazing job of bringing our
133
00:08:37.809 --> 00:08:41.919
business together and delivering numbers that will earn the envy
134
00:08:42.259 --> 00:08:46.490
of our industry. Thanks for the partnership. we are well
135
00:08:46.669 --> 00:08:49.149
on our way to resume our position as one of
136
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.759
the most respected asset and wealth managers. Aw, isn't that cute?
137
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.600
Jeffrey Epstein helping JP Morgan get back on top. And
138
00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.559
I want you to keep this in mind next time
139
00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:01.750
you try to get a loan from JP Morgan and
140
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:04.730
they try to bang you for a 15% finance rate.
141
00:09:05.809 --> 00:09:09.230
Though the U.S. Virgin Islands allege that Diamond and Epstein
142
00:09:09.509 --> 00:09:13.139
worked on this acquisition together, Diamond testified in a deposition
143
00:09:13.179 --> 00:09:16.120
in May that he had never had dealings with Epstein
144
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:19.159
and didn't even know the sex trafficker was a J.P.
145
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:23.830
Morgan client until his 2019 arrest. Oh, I believe that.
146
00:09:24.389 --> 00:09:26.669
I believe that about as much as I believe the
147
00:09:26.710 --> 00:09:32.669
stories of Bigfoot. Epstein, who committed suicide allegedly while awaiting
148
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.240
trial in 2019, was a J.P. Morgan client from 1998
149
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:42.120
to 2013. Diamond has called the bank's relationship with Epstein
150
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:45.289
a terrible mistake, but says he was unaware of it
151
00:09:45.590 --> 00:09:48.889
at the time, instead pointing the finger at Staley, who
152
00:09:48.929 --> 00:09:54.320
was the CEO of J.P. Morgan's asset management division in 2004,
153
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:59.200
when Diamond first joined the bank. Staley, however, has contradicted
154
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:03.720
the claim. saying he and Diamond did, in fact, communicate
155
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:08.039
about Epstein in 2006, when Epstein was first arrested, and
156
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:12.129
again in 2008, when he pleaded guilty to soliciting and
157
00:10:12.169 --> 00:10:17.009
procuring a minor for prostitution. Staley and Diamond were colleagues
158
00:10:17.070 --> 00:10:21.200
at J.P. Morgan until 2009 when when Staley left to
159
00:10:21.220 --> 00:10:24.600
head up Barclays. Now, is anybody out there really believing
160
00:10:24.779 --> 00:10:28.840
one single damn word about Jamie Dimon and his relationship
161
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:33.110
with Jeffrey Epstein? And he can keep denying this until St.
162
00:10:33.169 --> 00:10:35.710
Smithen's Day for all I care, but the facts are
163
00:10:35.730 --> 00:10:39.230
the facts. And the facts say that Jamie Dimon knew
164
00:10:39.289 -->
00:10:43.250
about Epstein and knew who he was. The recent filing
165
00:10:43.309 --> 00:10:46.549
is the latest in a back-and-forth legal battle between J.P.
166
00:10:46.590 --> 00:10:49.690
Morgan and the U.S. Virgin Islands, in which the U.S.
167
00:10:49.730 --> 00:10:54.490
territory is seeking at least $ 190 million to settle the
168
00:10:54.529 --> 00:10:59.279
suit that claims J.P. Morgan benefited from Epstein's infamous sex
169
00:10:59.299 --> 00:11:04.500
trafficking ring while ignoring his sordid misdeeds. Hello, pot. I'm kettle.
170
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:08.679
You're black. That's basically what the USVI allegations are saying.
171
00:11:10.070 --> 00:11:14.250
The Virgin Islands Council at Motley Rice declined to comment. Well, folks,
172
00:11:14.309 --> 00:11:16.659
it feels like a broken record at this point how
173
00:11:16.700 --> 00:11:19.779
many times we have to go over people like Sergey Brin.
174
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.340
But now that he's back in the conversation, we'll talk
175
00:11:23.379 --> 00:11:26.019
about him again. And we'll continue to talk about these
176
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:31.220
dirtbags as they pop up in the ongoing conversation. All right, everybody,
177
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:33.039
that's going to do it for this one. All of
178
00:11:33.090 --> 00:11:35.830
the information that goes with this episode can be found
179
00:11:36.210 --> 00:11:42.149
in the description box. And welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. So,
180
00:11:42.269 --> 00:11:48.169
Sergey Brin and his $ 4 billion in investments to J.P. Morgan, well,
181
00:11:48.210 --> 00:11:53.159
that was all allegedly facilitated by none other than Jeffrey Epstein.
182
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:57.019
And it shouldn't shock anybody. Sergey Brin's name has been
183
00:11:57.059 --> 00:12:00.279
connected to Epstein for a very long time, and he's
184
00:12:00.340 --> 00:12:03.720
another one who hasn't given us a quality explanation for
185
00:12:03.779 --> 00:12:07.740
his relationship with Epstein. So... Let's dive right into this
186
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.659
New York Post article and let's see what's going on. Headline,
187
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:16.500
Jeffrey Epstein helped JP Morgan land Google co-founder Sergey Brin
188
00:12:16.870 --> 00:12:21.789
and his $ 4 billion in investments as a client. This
189
00:12:21.850 --> 00:12:27.289
article was authored by Shannon Thaler. Jeffrey Epstein brought a
190
00:12:27.330 --> 00:12:31.330
slew of deep-pocketed clients to JP Morgan Chase, including Google
191
00:12:31.350 --> 00:12:34.750
co-founder Sergey Brin, who became one of the bank's biggest
192
00:12:34.769 --> 00:12:39.909
clients with investments worth more than $ 4 billion, according to
193
00:12:39.950 --> 00:12:43.629
court papers. Now, you wonder why J.P. Morgan didn't want
194
00:12:43.649 --> 00:12:45.850
to get rid of Epstein. Well, if he's bringing in
195
00:12:45.889 --> 00:12:49.429
these kind of clients for you, everybody's getting rich, and
196
00:12:49.470 --> 00:12:52.330
we all know that profits always come over people when
197
00:12:52.389 --> 00:12:55.129
it comes to the financial sector. And when you're talking
198
00:12:55.169 --> 00:12:58.539
about Epstein, it's even worse. This guy had little use
199
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.480
for human beings. All he cared about was money, power,
200
00:13:02.019 --> 00:13:06.129
and fulfilling his disgusting sexual desires. That's all this dude
201
00:13:06.149 --> 00:13:10.220
cared about. A bombshell legal filing in the U.S. Southern
202
00:13:10.259 --> 00:13:14.059
District of New York late Monday revealed that Brin became
203
00:13:14.100 --> 00:13:19.120
a client of J.P. Morgan's San Francisco private bank in 2004,
204
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:23.070
one year after Epstein introduced Brin to Jess Daly, a
205
00:13:23.110 --> 00:13:26.769
former executive at J.P. Morgan. Do you know how rich
206
00:13:26.809 --> 00:13:29.610
all of these people got? Directly on the back of
207
00:13:29.690 --> 00:13:34.610
Jeffrey Epstein's criminal enterprise? And then you'll wonder why RICO
208
00:13:34.649 --> 00:13:38.190
was never initiated. And this tells you right here why
209
00:13:38.210 --> 00:13:41.250
it was never initiated. If they would have went after RICO,
210
00:13:41.470 --> 00:13:44.649
who would have funded your favorite politician's next political run?
211
00:13:44.909 --> 00:13:47.720
Certainly not the nickel and dimes regular people are giving them.
212
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:51.000
It's people like Sergey Brin and Reid Hoffman. and the
213
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:54.179
Koch brothers that are really in charge of who goes
214
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.779
to Washington, D.C., and that's why I say all the
215
00:13:56.820 --> 00:14:00.200
time that the financial sector is the real bastion of power,
216
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:04.649
and that's where all the real decisions are made. The
217
00:14:04.750 --> 00:14:07.830
overall Brin relationship is one of the largest in the
218
00:14:07.870 --> 00:14:12.590
private bank, of plus $ 4 billion, wrote banker Robert A.
219
00:14:12.610 --> 00:14:16.509
Keller in a memo who the documents claim was introduced
220
00:14:16.750 --> 00:14:21.889
to Epstein by Staley. Brin, who's also behind the single-family
221
00:14:22.090 --> 00:14:26.889
office Bayshore Global, also met with CEO of JPMorgan's Asset
222
00:14:27.169 --> 00:14:32.409
Wealth Management Division, Mary Erdos, plus other JPMorgan executives and
223
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:36.639
members of Bayshore, the memo filed in court states. And
224
00:14:36.659 --> 00:14:40.120
Mary Erdos has been able to navigate through this, coming
225
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.320
out pretty much unscathed. But I don't know how long
226
00:14:43.340 --> 00:14:45.759
that's going to last. She was a huge part in
227
00:14:45.779 --> 00:14:48.360
what was going on over at J.P. Morgan, and she
228
00:14:48.419 -->
00:14:52.360
certainly was somebody who knew Epstein and had a relationship
229
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.440
with him. How far that relationship goes, that's to be determined.
230
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:00.379
But there's no doubt that Mary Erdos was friendly with Epstein.
231
00:15:00.620 --> 00:15:02.720
Just look at the tenor of the emails that were
232
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:06.000
being sent back and forth. We work very closely with
233
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:09.730
Sergey Brin, family office, and communicate with them at least
234
00:15:09.909 --> 00:15:13.529
one time per day, Keller added on the memo. At
235
00:15:13.570 --> 00:15:17.629
the time, in 2004, Bryn was number 19 on Forbes'
236
00:15:17.690 --> 00:15:23.559
billionaire list. Onboarding documents included in the docket showed that
237
00:15:23.620 --> 00:15:27.820
at the time, Bryn's fortune passed the $ 30 billion mark.
238
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.899
Now think about that for a minute. $ 30 billion, and
239
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:36.220
you're palling around with Jeffrey Epstein. Why? What the hell
240
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:39.059
are you doing hanging out with this weirdo? Don't tell
241
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.419
me you didn't know. You went to his house. You
242
00:15:41.460 --> 00:15:44.399
saw the pictures. You saw the weird ass chess pieces.
243
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:46.580
I don't want to hear from any of these people
244
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.110
that they had no idea who Epstein was. How many
245
00:15:50.149 --> 00:15:52.450
of you have walked into somebody's home and saw a
246
00:15:52.470 --> 00:15:55.610
bunch of pictures of young naked girls on the walls,
247
00:15:56.070 --> 00:15:58.950
all sorts of weird ass art, and just been like,
248
00:15:59.029 --> 00:16:02.210
all right, cool, no big deal. I'm guessing not many
249
00:16:02.269 --> 00:16:05.129
of you. You know why? Because we're not hanging out
250
00:16:05.409 --> 00:16:08.990
and breaking bread with the sick billionaire class who finds
251
00:16:09.049 --> 00:16:11.860
all of this shit normal. And why do I say that? Well,
252
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:13.960
if they didn't find it normal, don't you think they
253
00:16:13.980 --> 00:16:16.720
would have said something about the shit Epstein was up to?
254
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:20.379
You would expect that, right? But considering all of these
255
00:16:20.470 --> 00:16:25.070
people are fellow travelers with Epstein, well, we are where
256
00:16:25.110 --> 00:16:30.330
we are. Brin, a 49-year-old father of two, is now
257
00:16:30.330 --> 00:16:34.610
11 on the Forbes list with a net worth of $ 99. 1 billion.
258
00:16:34.909 --> 00:16:38.009
And I'm sure every last cent of that was made fairly.
259
00:16:38.529 --> 00:16:41.649
I'm sure that Sergey Brin never shit on anyone on
260
00:16:41.690 --> 00:16:45.860
his way up the tree to success. Just another misunderstood billionaire, right?
261
00:16:47.250 --> 00:16:52.580
Also in 2003, Epstein reportedly introduced Brin's fellow Google co-founder,
262
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.669
Larry Page, to JP Morgan. The court documents showed, And
263
00:16:56.690 --> 00:17:00.269
Larry Page is another Stunad, another one of these rich-ass
264
00:17:00.309 --> 00:17:04.720
scoundrels who's hiding from a subpoena, can't even answer basic questions,
265
00:17:05.220 --> 00:17:09.960
and they'll hide behind their legions of security, their 500-foot
266
00:17:10.019 --> 00:17:14.339
walls surrounding their apocalypse bunkers. And then they'll have a
267
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:16.720
bunch to say about the rest of us and how
268
00:17:16.819 --> 00:17:19.099
we live. And I don't know about you, but I'm
269
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.000
sick and tired of all these billionaires acting like they
270
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.779
know what regular people are going through on a regular basis.
271
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:28.819
They do not. We don't have the same problems. I
272
00:17:28.859 --> 00:17:33.220
promise you that. An email correspondent cited in the filing
273
00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:37.180
revealed that J.P. Morgan referred to Epstein as the advisor
274
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:41.420
to the Google founders. According to the filing, the message
275
00:17:41.460 --> 00:17:45.119
was sent by Epstein, and Borowitz, a former managing director
276
00:17:45.299 --> 00:17:48.920
at the bank, to Staley, referencing the potential need to
277
00:17:48.940 --> 00:17:51.559
have a New York team for Jeffrey Epstein as the
278
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:54.980
advisor to the Google founders. So do you think JP
279
00:17:55.019 --> 00:17:58.099
Morgan was sending out this email for fun? Just for
280
00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:01.180
their health, they wanted to practice an email chain? Or
281
00:18:01.420 --> 00:18:03.859
do you think that Epstein was acting as an advisor
282
00:18:04.140 --> 00:18:06.980
for the Google founders? I know what I think, and
283
00:18:07.059 --> 00:18:09.640
I think that he was acting as an advisor for
284
00:18:09.700 --> 00:18:13.450
Brin and for Larry Page. That's what I think, and
285
00:18:13.539 --> 00:18:17.660
I feel like the evidence is on my side. We
286
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.839
have not brought an investor onto the team yet because
287
00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:23.460
we wanted to see if you agreed that it should
288
00:18:23.500 --> 00:18:28.859
be Bob Bianc, she wrote, referencing another managing director. Since
289
00:18:28.900 --> 00:18:32.259
you know Jeffrey, which one would you pick? Borowitz asked Staley.
290
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:36.099
What do you recommend as the best step? A meeting
291
00:18:36.140 --> 00:18:39.400
call with you? A meeting with Jeffrey? According to the
292
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:43.789
court documents, Staley said, was introduced to Epstein by former
293
00:18:43.849 --> 00:18:48.150
JP Morgan head honcho, Sandy Warner, in or about the
294
00:18:48.150 --> 00:18:52.509
2000 period.
Warner told Staley, you should meet Epstein. He's
295
00:18:52.569 --> 00:18:55.230
one of the most connected people I know in New York.
296
00:18:55.650 --> 00:18:58.789
So JP Morgan has a problem here too. Not only
297
00:18:58.970 --> 00:19:02.710
do they have to contend with Jamie Dimon, possibly knowing
298
00:19:02.769 --> 00:19:07.259
about Epstein, but obviously their prior CEO not only knew
299
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:11.569
about Epstein, but pushed Staley, into forming a relationship with
300
00:19:11.630 --> 00:19:15.019
him so that the bank would be in a position
301
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.000
better suited to make some more money. So that's certainly
302
00:19:18.059 --> 00:19:20.359
going to be part of the reckoning for J.P. Morgan
303
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:24.519
moving forward. Before referencing Brin and Page to J.P. Morgan,
304
00:19:24.859 --> 00:19:27.660
Epstein brought a slew of people in his high net
305
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:31.259
worth network to the bank. including Bill Gates, the Sultan
306
00:19:31.299 --> 00:19:35.779
of Dubai, Prince Andrew, Hyatt Hotel heir Thomas Pritzker, and
307
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:39.119
billionaire hedge fund founder Glenn Dubin. And for those of
308
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:42.089
you keeping score at home, three of those five have
309
00:19:42.130 --> 00:19:46.049
been directly accused of taking part in the abuse. Pritzker,
310
00:19:46.470 --> 00:19:52.039
Prince Andrew, and Glenn Dubin. By 2003, when Brennan Page
311
00:19:52.140 --> 00:19:55.900
reportedly joined the bank, Epstein was also bringing in over
312
00:19:55.900 --> 00:19:59.019
$ 8 million in revenue to the private bank. The court
313
00:19:59.059 --> 00:20:03.680
document said the figure was the top revenue and nearly
314
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.039
double the amount of the next highest client. The filing
315
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.059
added So you see here why they didn't want to
316
00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:11.609
get rid of them. I hate to keep reiterating that,
317
00:20:11.849 --> 00:20:14.930
but it's very important. It's all about money for these people.
318
00:20:15.289 --> 00:20:18.349
It's not about, you know, Epstein being a scumbag or
319
00:20:18.630 --> 00:20:21.920
some drug trafficker being a scumbag. They don't care if
320
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:23.980
they can have a workaround and they can make it
321
00:20:24.019 --> 00:20:26.839
look like that money is legitimate. They're going to take
322
00:20:26.859 --> 00:20:29.109
them on as a client. And that's just the way
323
00:20:29.140 --> 00:20:31.690
it goes in the financial sector. and no amount of
324
00:20:31.779 --> 00:20:34.589
fines is ever going to fix that or change it.
325
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:37.279
You know what will change it? Sending people to prison.
326
00:20:37.579 --> 00:20:41.960
That'll change it. All these soft-ass bankers going to prison? Yeah, right.
327
00:20:42.500 --> 00:20:44.799
They ain't built for it. So you start sending these
328
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.039
dudes to prison, and maybe the next one who has
329
00:20:48.140 --> 00:20:51.880
one of these ideas thinks twice about it. No purchase necessary.
330
00:20:51.900 --> 00:20:53.900
Voidware prohibited by law. 18 plus terms and conditions apply.
331
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:57.359
See website for details. The fresh evidence is part of
332
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:01.970
the Virgin Islands lawsuit. claiming JP Morgan benefited from Epstein's
333
00:21:02.109 --> 00:21:06.369
infamous sex trafficking ring while ignoring his sordid misdeeds when
334
00:21:06.410 --> 00:21:10.750
the Isles government is seeking at least $ 190 million to
335
00:21:10.789 --> 00:21:14.970
settle the suit. The sum includes $ 150 million in civil
336
00:21:15.009 --> 00:21:18.730
fines and at least $ 40 million in penalties for maintaining
337
00:21:19.059 --> 00:21:23.880
a 15-year relationship with Epstein. Both Brynn and Page have
338
00:21:23.900 --> 00:21:27.700
been issued subpoenas as part of the ongoing high-profile suit
339
00:21:28.470 --> 00:21:31.940
Representatives for JP Morgan did not immediately respond to the
340
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.779
post request for comment. Now, if I was one of
341
00:21:34.819 --> 00:21:38.140
the survivors, I would look at the numbers that the U.S.
342
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.799
Virgin Island is asking for from J.P. Morgan, and I'd
343
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.039
extrapolate those numbers to myself. And I'd use those same
344
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:47.880
numbers to ask for that amount from the U.S. Virgin
345
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:50.940
Islands in a class action suit. Because there's no way
346
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:54.289
under this sun that anyone's going to convince me that
347
00:21:54.309 --> 00:21:57.490
the U.S. Virgin Islands and the people who were running
348
00:21:57.509 --> 00:21:59.990
the show down there at the time didn't know what
349
00:22:00.029 --> 00:22:05.500
was going on and didn't benefit from Epstein's crimes. Brin
350
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:08.880
was subpoenaed in April. The U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General
351
00:22:09.140 --> 00:22:12.640
has asked legal representatives for Brin to turn over any
352
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:17.269
documents or information related to the bank and Epstein. The U.S.
353
00:22:17.289 --> 00:22:20.170
Virgin Islands attempted to subpoena Page as part of the
354
00:22:20.210 --> 00:22:23.529
lawsuit as well, but a court filing from May showed
355
00:22:23.549 --> 00:22:27.349
that government officials couldn't find him to serve him the papers.
356
00:22:27.769 --> 00:22:31.710
Must be nice, huh? Hiding on some island somewhere. The
357
00:22:31.730 --> 00:22:36.990
50-year-old tech mogul, who's worth $ 104. 3 billion, according to Forbes,
358
00:22:37.410 --> 00:22:41.230
remains largely out of the public eye. Although it's unclear
359
00:22:41.289 --> 00:22:45.599
where he resides, legal documents obtained by
Insider revealed Page
360
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.640
owns four islands and reportedly spent much of the pandemic
361
00:22:49.940 --> 00:22:53.440
hiding out in Fiji. Imagine these guys, let me go
362
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:56.430
buy an island and then hide out from COVID. while
363
00:22:56.470 --> 00:22:58.490
the rest of you die. Just like all the rich
364
00:22:58.509 --> 00:23:00.569
people in New York, mind you. Don't forget all the
365
00:23:00.609 --> 00:23:02.910
rich people in New York City who bounced up to
366
00:23:02.950 --> 00:23:05.329
the Hamptons to leave the people in the city to
367
00:23:05.349 --> 00:23:08.670
their fate. Oh, what, you thought I forgot? Three of
368
00:23:08.710 --> 00:23:13.640
Paige's islands are located in the Caribbean. Hanlolik, its neighboring
369
00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:19.680
Little Hanslolik, and Eustacia Island, while Tavaria lies west of
370
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:24.759
the main Fijian Island. Page and Brin co-founded Google in
371
00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:28.420
1998 based on research they conducted together while at Stanford
372
00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:34.289
University as doctoral students. A restructuring of Google in 2015
373
00:23:34.289 --> 00:23:39.069
made Alphabet the search giant's corporate parent. The duo held
374
00:23:39.109 --> 00:23:42.910
top jobs at the organization. Page had been the chief
375
00:23:42.970 --> 00:23:46.109
executive of Google and Brin had been the president of
376
00:23:46.170 --> 00:23:51.049
Google until 2019. when they stepped down and Sundar Pichai
377
00:23:51.289 --> 00:23:55.349
took over as Alphabet CEO. Page remains a board member
378
00:23:55.630 --> 00:24:00.289
and controlling shareholder for Alphabet. Brin, the second largest shareholder
379
00:24:00.329 --> 00:24:04.450
behind Page, was reportedly hands-off since leaving his day-to-day role
380
00:24:05.410 --> 00:24:08.990
in 2019. However, he's back in the trenches and working
381
00:24:09.009 --> 00:24:13.519
with a group of researchers to build Google's long-awaited artificial
382
00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:18.059
intelligence model, Gemini, according to the Wall Street Journal. So
383
00:24:18.099 --> 00:24:20.380
he shouldn't be too hard to find, huh? But really,
384
00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:22.670
what does it matter? Even though they know who all
385
00:24:22.690 --> 00:24:25.490
of these people are, what has happened to them? Have
386
00:24:25.549 --> 00:24:28.690
any of them faced any sort of real repercussion? Of
387
00:24:28.730 --> 00:24:32.579
course not. And until there are repercussions for people like this,
388
00:24:32.900 --> 00:24:36.140
until there's some teeth to the sanctions that they're hit with,
389
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:39.440
we're going to keep seeing it happen over and over again.
390
00:24:40.150 --> 00:24:42.269
Because they know that they're going to make billions and
391
00:24:42.289 --> 00:24:44.670
billions of dollars. And then on the backside of that,
392
00:24:44.710 --> 00:24:47.750
the penalty is only going to be a very small number,
393
00:24:48.130 --> 00:24:51.430
from their point of view anyway, of, you know, $ 190,
394
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:53.980
$ 200 million. And to them, that's just the cost of
395
00:24:54.019 --> 00:24:57.359
doing business. Because the big picture is they're making that
396
00:24:57.660 --> 00:25:01.279
times about $ 5, 000 on a daily basis. So do you
397
00:25:01.299 --> 00:25:03.930
really think those penalties are going to work? It's like
398
00:25:03.970 --> 00:25:05.650
when you were a kid and your parents would ground
399
00:25:05.690 --> 00:25:07.609
you for like a day. Oh yeah, I really learned
400
00:25:07.630 --> 00:25:10.690
my lesson, Mom. So until the day arrives where people
401
00:25:10.730 --> 00:25:13.329
like this are treated the same way that you or
402
00:25:13.450 --> 00:25:15.509
I would be treated, then we're going to have this
403
00:25:15.549 --> 00:25:20.339
stupid carousel of misery continuing to go round and round
404
00:25:20.819 --> 00:25:24.039
and round. All right, everybody, that's going to do it
405
00:25:24.059 --> 00:25:26.480
for this one. All of the information that goes with
406
00:25:26.500 --> 00:25:31.299
this episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone,
407
00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:34.529
and welcome to another episode of of the Epstein Chronicles.
408
00:25:35.450 --> 00:25:38.539
In this episode, we have a quick article from Business
409
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:42.440
Insider talking about Reid Hoffman. And as soon as we
410
00:25:42.539 --> 00:25:45.640
finish the article up, right after it, I'll have a
411
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:49.680
few closing statements about what I think about this article
412
00:25:50.170 --> 00:25:53.930
and Reid Hoffman himself. So let's get right to it.
413
00:25:54.369 --> 00:25:57.269
Like I said, this article was published by Business Insider
414
00:25:58.450 --> 00:26:01.900
and the headline, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman says he learned
415
00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:05.160
a lesson from a visit to Epstein's Island. Note to self,
416
00:26:05.339 --> 00:26:09.640
Google before going. Yeah, we all believe that, buddy. This
417
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:16.809
article was authored by Alice Takotsky. LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman
418
00:26:17.029 --> 00:26:19.710
said he wishes he'd known a little more before agreeing
419
00:26:19.750 --> 00:26:22.930
to spend the night on Jeffrey Epstein's Island. A little
420
00:26:22.950 --> 00:26:24.869
bit different than just showing up to the island, right?
421
00:26:25.190 --> 00:26:27.549
Spending the night and you found nothing creepy about what
422
00:26:27.569 --> 00:26:32.539
was going on, huh? Okay. On the December 1st episode
423
00:26:32.900 --> 00:26:36.059
of Eric Newcomer's podcast, Hoffman said that he visited the
424
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:38.799
island as part of his fundraising work for the MIT
425
00:26:38.839 -->
00:26:42.319
Foundation and was told the visit would make Epstein more
426
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:45.990
likely to donate to MIT. Bro, you have so much money.
427
00:26:46.369 --> 00:26:48.490
Why do you need Epstein to donate? And this is
428
00:26:48.529 --> 00:26:50.910
the excuse they use. And I said I'd talk about
429
00:26:50.930 --> 00:26:53.789
it afterwards, but this is ridiculous. So we have to
430
00:26:53.829 --> 00:26:55.730
talk about it now, and then I'll give you my
431
00:26:55.809 --> 00:26:59.970
closing monologue as well, because this is ridiculous. I mean,
432
00:27:00.009 --> 00:27:02.529
does this guy really think we're stupid? He was just
433
00:27:02.589 --> 00:27:04.690
on this island. He didn't explore. He didn't go and
434
00:27:04.710 --> 00:27:07.779
check anything out. He didn't hear anything. He didn't see anything.
435
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:13.380
He knows nothing. Okay. Note to self. Google before going,
436
00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:15.960
Hoffman said on the podcast. He said he stayed on
437
00:27:15.980 --> 00:27:18.180
the island for one night and that there was a pool,
438
00:27:18.460 --> 00:27:21.289
a bunch of guest rooms, and a courtyard. And no women, huh?
439
00:27:21.609 --> 00:27:26.250
No Nadia Marcinkova. No Sarah Kellan. No Virginia. No unnamed
440
00:27:26.289 --> 00:27:30.490
girls from Eastern Europe. I call bullshit. I don't believe
441
00:27:30.509 --> 00:27:33.890
that for a second. Hoffman has maintained that he only
442
00:27:33.930 --> 00:27:38.049
interacted with Epstein, whose 2019 death while awaiting trial on
443
00:27:38.069 --> 00:27:41.730
sex trafficking charges was ruled a suicide through his work
444
00:27:41.809 --> 00:27:45.519
fundraising for the MIT Media Lab. On the newcomer podcast,
445
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:50.240
he called Epstein a masterful networker and recalled the 2015
446
00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:55.220
dinner he hosted for an MIT researcher in Palo Alto, California. Well,
447
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:58.880
they were all hanging out together. And Silicon Valley might
448
00:27:58.900 --> 00:28:02.180
be the worst of the worst. These people, Peter Thiel,
449
00:28:03.339 --> 00:28:05.740
the other guy, what's his name, Lucky Palmer. There's a
450
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:07.920
whole lot of these people that really give me the willies.
451
00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:11.920
And these are the new masters of the universe. And
452
00:28:11.940 --> 00:28:15.789
we're all over here worrying about 1984 becoming a reality.
453
00:28:16.950 --> 00:28:19.710
But while we were worrying about that, these rotten bastards
454
00:28:19.750 --> 00:28:23.170
flipped the script. And now it's like a brave new world.
455
00:28:24.910 --> 00:28:27.680
Hoffman said that Joey Ito, former director of the MIT
456
00:28:27.740 --> 00:28:30.220
Media Lab, asked him if Epstein could attend the dinner,
457
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:34.819
which was also attended by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and
458
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:38.799
Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Similar to his visit to the island,
459
00:28:39.099 --> 00:28:41.930
Hoffman said he was later told that the financier had
460
00:28:41.970 --> 00:28:44.670
said he was more likely to donate if he attended
461
00:28:44.730 --> 00:28:48.529
the dinner. So again, it's all about the money. We're
462
00:28:48.569 --> 00:28:52.160
talking about somebody who was already a registered sex offender
463
00:28:52.259 --> 00:28:55.400
in 2015. So Reid Hoffman can save the bullshit. Everybody
464
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:58.470
knew what Jeffrey Epstein was and what he was up to.
465
00:28:59.329 --> 00:29:00.990
And I know it sounds like a broken record at
466
00:29:01.009 --> 00:29:03.170
this point, but it has to be said again, I guess.
467
00:29:04.650 --> 00:29:07.410
He's kind of going through the network, trying to meet people,
468
00:29:07.789 --> 00:29:11.039
and so forth, Hoffman said on the podcast. Hoffman also
469
00:29:11.210 --> 00:29:16.569
reiterated previous apologies for his involvement with Epstein. In 2019,
470
00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:20.210
a spokesperson for Zuckerberg, confirmed the dinner to Business Insider
471
00:29:20.250 --> 00:29:22.869
and said it was the only time the Facebook co-founder
472
00:29:23.130 --> 00:29:27.140
met Epstein. A spokesperson for Musk also confirmed the Tesla
473
00:29:27.180 --> 00:29:31.859
CEO's attendance. And there's a lot of other meetings and
474
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:35.529
events that Elon Musk was at with Jeffrey Epstein. And
475
00:29:35.569 --> 00:29:39.829
he still hasn't answered for any of that. In a
476
00:29:39.809 --> 00:29:44.039
2009 a 2019 email to Axios, Hoffman acknowledged multiple interactions
477
00:29:44.099 --> 00:29:47.359
with Epstein, which he said were strictly for fundraising purposes,
478
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:50.440
and said he had been told MIT had vetted and
479
00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:53.880
approved the convicted sex offender's participation. He said in the
480
00:29:53.980 --> 00:29:57.700
email he was deeply regretful of the involvement. I mean,
481
00:29:57.980 --> 00:30:02.099
that really strains credulity. You're one of the rich men
482
00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:04.420
in the world and you don't Google who you're dealing with.
483
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:06.859
Nobody says to you, Hey, read, this guy's a little
484
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:11.279
bit odd, bro. He was busted for so-and-so. I don't
485
00:30:11.299 --> 00:30:14.019
believe that for a second because I know that when
486
00:30:14.059 --> 00:30:17.140
I've been invited on the podcast, people have reached out
487
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:18.859
to me and said, Hey, do you know about so-and-so
488
00:30:18.940 --> 00:30:21.480
or blah, blah, blah. Or I've looked at, you know,
489
00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:25.049
their content or whatever and said to myself, yeah, that's
490
00:30:25.089 --> 00:30:28.529
not for me. Not that difficult, right? You don't have
491
00:30:28.549 --> 00:30:31.329
to put yourself in a situation where Where you're associating
492
00:30:31.369 --> 00:30:34.630
with somebody you don't want to be associating with? Especially
493
00:30:34.670 --> 00:30:36.910
when you have the kind of money that Reid Hoffman has.
494
00:30:37.230 --> 00:30:40.519
Do they really need Jeffrey Epstein's donations? I went and
495
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:42.940
kind of made a, you know, very public apology because
496
00:30:42.980 --> 00:30:45.779
it was like, okay, I realized this and I'd already
497
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.259
at that point had ramped down connection with them, right?
498
00:30:48.660 --> 00:30:50.880
So like no meetings and all the rest of the
499
00:30:50.900 --> 00:30:54.660
stuff under any context, Hoffman said on the podcast. And
500
00:30:54.700 --> 00:30:56.869
I think he still would drop me an email every
501
00:30:56.930 --> 00:30:59.410
so often and say, hey, can we get on the phone?
502
00:30:59.950 --> 00:31:02.309
I say, oh, maybe sometime, which is, you know, code
503
00:31:02.329 --> 00:31:05.980
for never, right? No, I don't know that. Never means never.
504
00:31:07.859 --> 00:31:11.480
Maybe means sometime, and it means maybe. Don't try and
505
00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:13.160
parse words and tell me what I know and what
506
00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:17.099
I don't know, Reid Hoffman. Hoffman said the justice for
507
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:20.599
the late pedophile's survivors is important and urged the government
508
00:31:20.619 --> 00:31:24.069
to release unredacted every single piece of intel that they
509
00:31:24.089 --> 00:31:27.690
have about Epstein. In November, President Donald Trump signed a
510
00:31:27.710 --> 00:31:30.799
bill that will release the Department of Justice files on
511
00:31:30.859 --> 00:31:35.240
Epstein after months of pressure from Congress, including some fellow Republicans.
512
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:39.549
The department has until Saturday, December 19th, to comply with
513
00:31:39.569 --> 00:31:42.190
the order. I have my doubts. I have my doubts
514
00:31:42.230 --> 00:31:44.849
about that. But we'll wait and see. I don't want
515
00:31:44.890 --> 00:31:47.549
to be one of those black pill people. So we'll
516
00:31:47.589 --> 00:31:49.710
wait and see what happens on the 19th. But I
517
00:31:49.730 --> 00:31:53.259
will tell you this. I have my doubts. Trump has
518
00:31:53.339 --> 00:31:56.680
also ordered the DOJ to investigate Hoffman along with other
519
00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:00.960
individuals he views as political enemies, including former President Bill
520
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:04.940
Clinton and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers over their ties
521
00:32:05.180 --> 00:32:08.039
to Epstein. Well, he has the right idea as far
522
00:32:08.099 --> 00:32:11.240
as the people, but the motivation's all bad. And that's
523
00:32:11.259 --> 00:32:14.180
how you end up getting a prosecution to be DOA.
524
00:32:15.869 -->
00:32:18.630
And maybe that's Trump's whole entire purpose, right? Talk all
525
00:32:18.650 --> 00:32:23.170
this shit and make these cases impossible to prosecute. Hoffman,
526
00:32:23.190 --> 00:32:26.890
a billionaire and major Democratic donor, has previously said that
527
00:32:26.910 --> 00:32:29.890
he had to hire security after Musk fueled conspiracy theories
528
00:32:30.210 --> 00:32:34.250
about his relationship with Epstein. Alright, so that's the article.
529
00:32:34.890 --> 00:32:37.819
Here's my opinion about all of it. Imagine being a
530
00:32:37.859 --> 00:32:40.640
billionaire like Reid Hoffman and expecting people to take I
531
00:32:40.660 --> 00:32:43.500
didn't know at face value. That might work for a
532
00:32:43.539 --> 00:32:46.759
guy who lives off coupons, not someone embedded in the
533
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:50.779
most information-rich social class on Earth. Hoffman didn't claw his
534
00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:53.599
way to the top of Silicon Valley by being oblivious.
535
00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:57.700
He made his fortune by understanding people, incentives, and networks.
536
00:32:58.420 --> 00:33:01.910
He built an empire on mapping relationships and leveraging proximity.
537
00:33:02.369 --> 00:33:06.289
So when he suddenly becomes incurious, the performance rings hollow.
538
00:33:06.670 --> 00:33:09.490
The richest men in the world don't lack information. They
539
00:33:09.569 --> 00:33:14.890
outsource discomfort. And Epstein was discomfort incarnate. Reid Hoffman is
540
00:33:14.910 --> 00:33:17.910
the textbook not-me billionaire, the kind who always has a
541
00:33:17.930 --> 00:33:22.680
prefabricated excuse ready It's never denial outright, just soft deflection
542
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:28.109
wrapped in reasonableness. He speaks in calibrated ambiguity, the language
543
00:33:28.150 --> 00:33:32.190
of people who fear specifics. Every statement feels engineered to
544
00:33:32.230 --> 00:33:37.269
be technically true while practically useless. The goal isn't clarity,
545
00:33:37.329 --> 00:33:40.710
it's survivability. That's how power communicates when it doesn't want
546
00:33:40.730 --> 00:33:44.859
to confess or confront. Epstein thrived exactly in this kind
547
00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:49.549
of fog. Let's be explicit and responsible because the distinction matters.
548
00:33:50.069 --> 00:33:53.849
There's no evidence Reid Hoffman participated in abuse. The public
549
00:33:53.910 --> 00:33:57.289
record does not accuse him of crimes. Saying that clearly
550
00:33:57.630 --> 00:34:01.759
is not charity, it's accuracy. But accuracy doesn't mean absolution.
551
00:34:02.380 --> 00:34:05.920
No one ends their responsibility at not criminally charged. The
552
00:34:05.980 --> 00:34:10.400
Epstein story is not just about perpetrators, it's about enablers, shields,
553
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:14.989
and silencers. It's about who tolerated what and when. That's
554
00:34:15.030 --> 00:34:20.900
the conversation Hoffman can't dodge. Hoffman has acknowledged knowing Jeffrey Epstein.
555
00:34:21.219 --> 00:34:25.159
He acknowledged traveling to Epstein's Island. Those aren't rumors or
556
00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:29.280
hostile interpretations. Those are admissions. Once those facts are on
557
00:34:29.300 --> 00:34:33.369
the table, the conversation changes permanently. This is no longer
558
00:34:33.409 --> 00:34:36.510
about whether they crossed paths. It's about how deliberate those
559
00:34:36.550 --> 00:34:39.670
paths were. Little St. James was not a neutral venue
560
00:34:39.969 --> 00:34:43.269
or a casual hangout. It was already infamous long before
561
00:34:43.309 --> 00:34:46.260
the world pretended to notice. You don't visit that island
562
00:34:46.460 --> 00:34:49.320
without hearing things unless you actively choose not to listen.
563
00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:53.159
And inevitably, the defense always circles back to timing because
564
00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:56.239
timing is the last refuge of the cornered elite. I
565
00:34:56.260 --> 00:34:59.139
didn't know then it's treated like an escape hatch, as
566
00:34:59.219 --> 00:35:02.570
if Epstein's crimes manifested suddenly in a single news cycle.
567
00:35:03.210 --> 00:35:06.730
Survivors were speaking years before journalists were brave enough to
568
00:35:06.829 --> 00:35:10.510
amplify them. Law enforcement knew far more than it acted on.
569
00:35:10.969 --> 00:35:15.739
Wealthy circles whisper earlier, not later. Claiming ignorance requires believing
570
00:35:15.969 --> 00:35:19.519
that the wealthiest social tier was the least informed. That
571
00:35:19.940 --> 00:35:23.920
is the opposite of how power works. Reid Hoffman's entire
572
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:28.360
professional identity is built on understanding networks. LinkedIn itself is
573
00:35:28.420 --> 00:35:33.349
a monument to relational awareness. Context, proximity, and information flow
574
00:35:33.389 --> 00:35:37.909
are the currency he monetized. That makes selective blindness incredibly
575
00:35:37.969 --> 00:35:41.659
difficult to believe. You can't be hyperliterate in human connection
576
00:35:41.900 --> 00:35:46.239
while socially illiterate in elite circles. Epstein didn't move invisibly
577
00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:49.619
through high society. He was discussed, warned about, joked about,
578
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:53.159
and quietly avoided by some. Choosing not to hear is
579
00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:56.400
not the same as not knowing. Billionaires love to cite
580
00:35:56.679 --> 00:36:00.039
busyness as an alibi. Too busy to pay attention. Too
581
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:04.010
busy to notice red flags. Too busy to ask follow-up questions.
582
00:36:04.630 --> 00:36:07.630
Yet never too busy to accept invitations that benefit them.
583
00:36:08.260 --> 00:36:11.699
never too busy to board private jets or attend exclusive gatherings.
584
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:16.599
Their time scarcity somehow
only applies to moral curiosity. It's
585
00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:21.260
not by accident. Epstein counted on that exact hierarchy of concern,
586
00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:25.360
and it served them well for decades. The island detail
587
00:36:25.380 --> 00:36:28.760
does not go away, no matter how carefully it's contextualized.
588
00:36:29.250 --> 00:36:32.170
You don't accidentally end up on Little St. James. It's
589
00:36:32.210 --> 00:36:37.980
not a layover destination or a happy coincidence. It requires invitation, transportation,
590
00:36:38.260 --> 00:36:43.260
and consent. Each step involves awareness. Each step carries implicit endorsement.
591
00:36:43.719 --> 00:36:47.340
Pretending it was just another stop stretches credibility beyond repair.
592
00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:52.969
Geography matters when crimes cluster around a location. And we
593
00:36:52.989 --> 00:36:55.769
all know that Epstein curated his social circle with precision.
594
00:36:56.349 --> 00:36:59.510
Everyone who visited was a signal to everyone else. Smart
595
00:36:59.530 --> 00:37:05.880
people conferred legitimacy. Cautious people provided insulation. Well-known names discourage scrutiny.
596
00:37:06.699 --> 00:37:11.840
That wasn't random socializing. It was strategic placement. Epstein's access
597
00:37:11.900 --> 00:37:14.559
depended on the presence of the powerful. He built a
598
00:37:14.619 --> 00:37:18.550
moat out of reputation. People like Reid Hoffman were bricks
599
00:37:18.590 --> 00:37:20.989
in that wall, whether they intended to be or not.
600
00:37:21.489 --> 00:37:25.110
Intent doesn't erase effect. And the question has matured past
601
00:37:25.150 --> 00:37:28.670
childish framing. It's no longer, did Reid Hoffman know Jeffrey Epstein?
602
00:37:28.949 --> 00:37:32.030
That question has been answered. The meaningful question is depth
603
00:37:32.349 --> 00:37:36.710
and duration. How often? How close? And under what circumstances?
604
00:37:37.530 --> 00:37:42.650
Relationships are patterns, not snapshots. Every continued association after new
605
00:37:42.690 --> 00:37:47.349
information emerges is a decision. Silence after suspicion is also
606
00:37:47.389 --> 00:37:53.610
a choice. Choices accumulate consequences whether acknowledged or not. Hoffman's
607
00:37:53.650 --> 00:37:57.969
public statements rely heavily on narrow constructions. They're carefully worded,
608
00:37:58.289 --> 00:38:02.179
legally cautious, and emotionally neutral. This is the tone of
609
00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:06.420
someone answering the safest possible question. It avoids grappling with
610
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:09.800
uncomfortable implications. What did you hear? What did you dismiss?
611
00:38:10.219 --> 00:38:13.920
What did you rationalize away? These are not legal questions,
612
00:38:14.139 --> 00:38:18.039
but they are historical ones, and history is less forgiving
613
00:38:18.360 --> 00:38:23.239
than the courts. Elite culture specializes in plausible deniability. Everyone
614
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:26.420
knows just enough to maintain distance and just little enough
615
00:38:26.460 --> 00:38:32.260
to deny responsibility. Epstein exploited that culture mercilessly. He didn't
616
00:38:32.300 --> 00:38:36.280
need universal ignorance in He needed selective disbelief. He needed
617
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:40.179
powerful people who would not ask inconvenient questions, not because
618
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:43.699
they were evil, but because they were comfortable. Comfort is
619
00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:49.050
the real accomplice in most large-scale abuses. And look, let's
620
00:38:49.090 --> 00:38:53.110
be real. The tech elite love disruption until disruption threatens them.
621
00:38:53.630 --> 00:38:58.010
Then all of a sudden, stability becomes sacred. Questions are
622
00:38:58.030 --> 00:39:03.429
reframed as hysteria. Scrutiny becomes persecution. Patterns are dismissed as coincidence.
623
00:39:04.429 --> 00:39:07.929
Epstein operated comfortably in that protective field. He depended on it.
624
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:11.619
He was insulated by the reputations of others, and those
625
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:15.420
reputations did real work on his behalf. Look, no one's
626
00:39:15.460 --> 00:39:19.159
demanding a confession or a scarlet letter. What's being demanded
627
00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:23.789
is honesty without choreography. Stop hiding behind sterile phrasing, stop
628
00:39:23.809 --> 00:39:27.769
pretending the air was clean, acknowledge discomfort existed and was ignored.
629
00:39:28.349 --> 00:39:31.829
That admission costs nothing now. Refusal, on the other hand,
630
00:39:32.130 --> 00:39:38.260
deepens the stain. Silence always compounds over time. Survivors understand
631
00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:42.679
this dynamic intimately. They were disbelieved not because evidence didn't exist,
632
00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:47.480
but because disbelief was easier. Powerful acquaintances may doubt respectable,
633
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:52.429
respectability is a powerful shield And Epstein wore it like armor.
634
00:39:53.150 --> 00:39:56.699
He didn't manufacture it alone. It was lent to him repeatedly,
635
00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:00.079
often by people who told themselves they were staying neutral.
636
00:40:01.179 --> 00:40:04.659
When billionaires plead ignorance, what they're really asking for is exemption.
637
00:40:05.139 --> 00:40:10.969
Exemption from judgment. Exemption from moral memory. Exemption from follow-up questions.
638
00:40:11.719 --> 00:40:16.190
Wealth does not grant that privilege. Access does not erase responsibility.
639
00:40:16.750 --> 00:40:20.599
Silence is not neutral when it protects predators. History records
640
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:26.739
silence carefully. Now, Reid Hoffman may regret proximity today. Regret
641
00:40:26.780 --> 00:40:32.179
is not reckoning. Reckoning requires detail and vulnerability. It requires timelines,
642
00:40:32.260 --> 00:40:36.139
not platitudes. It requires answers that do not flatter the speaker.
643
00:40:36.860 --> 00:40:40.880
Carefully sanded statements are not courage. Look, this is not
644
00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:44.159
about inventing crimes where evidence does not exist. It's about
645
00:40:44.219 --> 00:40:49.219
refusing fantasies where facts clearly do. Reid Hoffman, new Jeffrey Epstein.
646
00:40:49.690 --> 00:40:53.389
Reid Hoffman visited his island. Those realities are not up
647
00:40:53.409 --> 00:40:57.179
for debate. What remains is the depth of that relationship
648
00:40:57.539 --> 00:41:00.500
and the choices made within it. History is going to
649
00:41:00.539 --> 00:41:04.199
keep asking that question. And if they continue with their silence,
650
00:41:04.699 --> 00:41:07.820
they'll keep answering it poorly. All of the information that
651
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:11.099

00:41:11.469 --> 00:41:16.289
What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Yesterday,
653
00:41:16.349 --> 00:41:19.719
when we were talking about how Jeffrey Epstein tried to
654
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:24.559
get his tentacles into Donald Trump's campaign in 2016, we
655
00:41:24.579 --> 00:41:28.460
were also talking about a man named Reid Hoffman. Well, today,
656
00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:31.260
that's who we're going to talk about a little bit
657
00:41:31.300 --> 00:41:36.239
more at length, considering this dude visited Epstein's Island and
658
00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:40.400
then poured thousands of dollars into into the Democratic Senate race.
659
00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:43.539
I mean, how many more examples do we need that
660
00:41:43.619 --> 00:41:47.219
both sides are absolutely corrupt? And the fact that a
661
00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:51.070
guy like Reid Hoffman, who was obviously close to Epstein,
662
00:41:51.510 --> 00:41:54.690
is still able to just slide around without any real
663
00:41:54.730 --> 00:41:59.000
questions is bananas. And then you wonder why I say
664
00:41:59.260 --> 00:42:02.429
the whole entire political class is bought and paid for. Well,
665
00:42:02.469 --> 00:42:05.269
here it is. A guy like Reid Hoffman has no
666
00:42:05.309 --> 00:42:11.309
business donating $ 700, 000 to Biden's reelection effort or to any
667
00:42:11.349 --> 00:42:14.550
of these Senate campaign races. You know, like Epstein himself
668
00:42:14.590 --> 00:42:19.880
did with Stacey Plaskett. This article is authored by Jessica Chasmar.
669
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:25.800
The Democrat tech billionaire who helped rehab Jeffrey Epstein's image
670
00:42:26.079 --> 00:42:30.159
and visited his island has poured thousands in donations into
671
00:42:30.260 --> 00:42:34.869
several vulnerable Senate races across the country. You know, you
672
00:42:34.909 --> 00:42:39.090
talk about demons. People talk about the W.E.F. or all
673
00:42:39.110 --> 00:42:42.440
this other nonsense that really doesn't affect our lives. You
674
00:42:42.460 --> 00:42:44.860
know what really affects our lives? People like Reid Hoffman.
675
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:49.599
People in the financial sector who are literally guiding the
676
00:42:49.659 --> 00:42:53.219
course of our future with their donations to these politicians.
677
00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:55.840
Do you think they just give this money up and
678
00:42:55.860 --> 00:42:57.639
then they're like, oh, you know what? I don't expect
679
00:42:57.699 --> 00:43:00.139
any favors for it. Or do you think that this
680
00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:06.610
money buys them entry into the senator's office? LinkedIn co-founder
681
00:43:06.670 --> 00:43:10.150
Reid Hoffman recently gave the maximum donations of $ 6, 600 each
682
00:43:10.190 --> 00:43:17.079
to the campaign's of Senator John Tester, Montana, Jackie Rosen, Nevada,
683
00:43:17.460 --> 00:43:22.650
and Bob Casey in Pennsylvania, according to Federal Election Commission records.
684
00:43:23.269 --> 00:43:25.949
And I'll be reaching out to Jackie Rosen later on
685
00:43:25.969 --> 00:43:29.070
today to see if she's going to return Jeffrey Epstein's
686
00:43:29.110 --> 00:43:31.849
buddy's money. We'll see what she has to say. All
687
00:43:31.889 --> 00:43:35.550
three races are considered battlegrounds going into Election Day 2024.
688
00:43:35.530 --> 00:43:40.099
And now look, If he wants to donate money, fine.
689
00:43:40.420 --> 00:43:43.019
But the fact is, people need to be aware that
690
00:43:43.079 --> 00:43:47.099
Reid Hoffman was somebody that was certainly in Epstein's circle.
691
00:43:47.460 --> 00:43:49.980
Somebody who had been to the island, somebody who broke
692
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:53.699
bread with Epstein, and somebody who was playing a part
693
00:43:54.019 --> 00:43:59.320
in Epstein's gigantic wheel. News of the donations came after
694
00:43:59.360 --> 00:44:03.090
the Wall Street Journal reported in May that Hoffman visited
695
00:44:03.550 --> 00:44:07.650
Epstein's private Caribbean island called Little St. James, part of
696
00:44:07.670 --> 00:44:12.909
the U.S. Virgin Islands, on at least one occasion in 2014.
697
00:44:12.909 --> 00:44:16.780
Hoffman and the now-deceased convicted pedophile were planning to return
698
00:44:16.820 --> 00:44:20.820
to the island in November of 2014, and then travel
699
00:44:20.860 --> 00:44:24.239
to Boston, the report said. So not just showing up
700
00:44:24.510 --> 00:44:27.389
for dinner. They're going to travel together. Yeah, let's go
701
00:44:27.429 --> 00:44:30.030
to the island. Then we'll go to Boston. Well, what
702
00:44:30.070 --> 00:44:33.150
were you guys doing? How many massages did you get,
703
00:44:33.510 --> 00:44:37.630
Reid Hoffman? It's unclear what the intent was for those
704
00:44:37.670 --> 00:44:41.369
planned trips, but the report also revealed Hoffman was planning
705
00:44:41.409 --> 00:44:45.989
to stay at Epstein's luxury
Manhattan townhouse in December of
706
00:44:45.989 --> 00:44:49.550
2014 after a late arrival in New York City. Oh,
707
00:44:49.610 --> 00:44:54.110
isn't that nice? After Epstein was already a sexual offender, Mr.
708
00:44:54.190 --> 00:44:57.500
Big Shot Moneybags, who's dumping a bunch of dough into
709
00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:00.119
the Democratic Party, he thought it would be a good
710
00:45:00.219 --> 00:45:02.980
idea to go have a sleepover. And I'm sure that
711
00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:06.079
they were just discussing, you know, the local news. I'm
712
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:08.949
sure nothing was going on that was untowards. I'm sure
713
00:45:08.969 --> 00:45:13.730
there were no massages being given. Hoffman also sent the
714
00:45:13.769 --> 00:45:18.849
maximum $ 6, 600 donation on June 14th to the campaign of
715
00:45:18.909 --> 00:45:22.699
California Democrat Will Rollins, who is again trying to grab
716
00:45:23.079 --> 00:45:27.320
a congressional seat after a narrow loss during the 2022 elections.
717
00:45:27.820 --> 00:45:32.679
Fox News Digital reported on Tuesday. Fox News Digital also
718
00:45:32.739 --> 00:45:36.179
reported this week that the Biden Victory Fund, a joint
719
00:45:36.260 --> 00:45:43.519
fundraising committee authorized by the Biden campaign, received a whopping $ 699, 600
720
00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:48.260
donation from Hoffman on April 26, and a maximum donation
721
00:45:48.619 --> 00:45:53.440
of $ 6, 600 went directly to Biden's campaign. Yesterday, we were
722
00:45:53.460 --> 00:45:57.719
talking about Glenn Dubin giving money to Vivek Ramaswamy, and
723
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:00.519
now on the flip side, we see the same people
724
00:46:01.019 --> 00:46:03.699
giving money to the Democrats. And you wonder why I
725
00:46:03.760 --> 00:46:05.760
say they're all in on it. And you wonder why
726
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:08.360
I say you shouldn't be cheering for any of these
727
00:46:08.420 --> 00:46:11.820
politicians or certainly arguing with your loved ones about it
728
00:46:12.179 --> 00:46:15.659
because they don't care about you. They're both getting money
729
00:46:15.699 --> 00:46:18.440
from Epstein. None of them did anything about it. And
730
00:46:18.500 --> 00:46:21.780
anybody who says any different is a liar. Show me
731
00:46:21.820 --> 00:46:24.130
the proof that you did something about it while you
732
00:46:24.150 --> 00:46:26.809
were in power. None of them did. Oh, they all
733
00:46:26.849 --> 00:46:28.730
found a way to take money from them though, right?
734
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:34.900
Hoffman recently made headlines after Biden attended a fundraiser the
735
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:38.900
billionaire hosted on behalf of the Biden Victory Fund at
736
00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:42.710
the private residence of Shannon Hunt Scott and Kevin Scott
737
00:46:43.010 --> 00:46:47.110
in Los Gatos, California. Hoffman told the Journal in May
738
00:46:47.510 --> 00:46:50.880
it gnaws at
him that his association with Epstein helped
739
00:46:50.889 --> 00:46:56.239
his reputation and thus delayed justice for his survivors. My
740
00:46:56.280 --> 00:47:00.940
last interaction with Epstein was in 2015. Still, by agreeing
741
00:47:00.980 --> 00:47:05.059
to participate in any fundraising activity where Epstein was present,
742
00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:09.969
I helped to repair his reputation and perpetuate injustice, Hoffman
743
00:47:09.989 --> 00:47:15.150
said in 2019. For this, I am deeply regretful. And
744
00:47:15.190 --> 00:47:18.309
you know the truth? The truth is this. Guys like
745
00:47:18.349 --> 00:47:22.219
Reid Hoffman, Leon Black, and the rest of them, they're
746
00:47:22.260 --> 00:47:25.690
the reason we didn't see Rico here. all your favorite
747
00:47:25.730 --> 00:47:29.110
politicians that you love so much, they could have forced
748
00:47:29.130 --> 00:47:31.869
the issue. They could have made the DOJ play a ball.
749
00:47:32.190 --> 00:47:35.349
Did anybody do it? And if they did, they would
750
00:47:35.369 --> 00:47:37.510
have found that all of these people that were paddling
751
00:47:37.530 --> 00:47:42.179
around with egg dick himself, they all had financial dealings
752
00:47:42.219 --> 00:47:45.239
with them as well. So if Epstein was making his
753
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:48.539
money from ill-gotten gains and there was a RICO charge,
754
00:47:48.920 --> 00:47:51.599
everybody who was involved with them financially would be hit
755
00:47:51.639 --> 00:47:54.590
with the same charges. Now we can't have that, can we?
756
00:47:55.349 --> 00:47:58.349
who would pay the bills for the politicians if their
757
00:47:58.389 --> 00:48:03.809
banker buddies got in trouble. The 2015 interaction was when
758
00:48:03.829 --> 00:48:07.010
he invited Epstein to a Silicon Valley dinner with tech
759
00:48:07.130 --> 00:48:11.809
industry leaders after he was already convicted of sexual crimes.
760
00:48:12.570 --> 00:48:15.489
In September that same year, Hoffman attended a state dinner
761
00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:19.239
hosted by then-Vice President Biden at the White House in
762
00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:24.130
honor of Chinese President Xi Jinping. Fox News Digital has
763
00:48:24.230 --> 00:48:28.889
previously reported that Hoffman's money also goes into non-traditional groups
764
00:48:29.210 --> 00:48:33.210
that aren't mandated to reporting their funding and often operate
765
00:48:33.429 --> 00:48:36.909
in the shadows. He was forced to issue an apology
766
00:48:37.230 --> 00:48:41.030
in 2018 for funding a group that falsely tried to
767
00:48:41.050 --> 00:48:44.860
give the impression that the Russian government was supporting Alabama
768
00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:50.460
Republican Roy Moore in a 2017 special Senate election. So
769
00:48:50.519 --> 00:48:55.219
just your usual typical scumbag has no idea about what's
770
00:48:55.239 --> 00:48:57.699
going on really, but knows that he has a lot
771
00:48:57.719 --> 00:49:00.659
of money. And hell, why not try and get things
772
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:03.989
shaded in the direction I want them shaded in? Meanwhile,
773
00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:07.889
while he's interfering in our elections, he's also breaking bread
774
00:49:08.150 --> 00:49:12.090
with Jeffrey Epstein. Why the hell would President Biden take
775
00:49:12.150 --> 00:49:15.650
money from this guy? Does anybody plan on asking Junior
776
00:49:15.690 --> 00:49:19.010
Soprano Biden if he's going to give this money back?
777
00:49:19.510 --> 00:49:21.019
Or are we just going to shrug our shoulders and
778
00:49:21.039 --> 00:49:23.539
be like, ah, you know what? It's not Alex Acosta,
779
00:49:23.579 --> 00:49:28.309
so let's move on. Biden has benefited from Hoffman's lavish
780
00:49:28.349 --> 00:49:33.289
spending on campaign contributions, donating $ 1. 5 million to a super
781
00:49:33.329 --> 00:49:37.820
PAC that supported Biden's candidacy, in the 2020 elections, as
782
00:49:37.860 --> 00:49:42.320
well as the maximum individual dollar amount allowed to Biden's campaign,
783
00:49:42.739 --> 00:49:46.260
according to FEC records. Dudes out here throwing money at
784
00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:49.349
all kinds of politicians. And again, I ask you, do
785
00:49:49.389 --> 00:49:51.550
you think he's doing that because he's a kind man
786
00:49:51.869 --> 00:49:53.789
and just wants to give him some money? Or do
787
00:49:53.809 --> 00:49:56.630
you think he's doing that because he wants something on
788
00:49:56.650 --> 00:49:58.929
the back end from them? He expects something on the
789
00:49:58.949 --> 00:50:03.210
flip side. whether that's regulations that help his companies or
790
00:50:03.289 --> 00:50:06.469
whatever it is, please don't be naive and think that
791
00:50:06.510 --> 00:50:10.230
these people are just so politically motivated that they want
792
00:50:10.250 --> 00:50:13.659
to donate millions and millions of dollars. Once they start
793
00:50:13.679 --> 00:50:16.820
donating that money, the people they're donating that money to
794
00:50:17.300 --> 00:50:21.179
understand exactly where the money's coming from. And now they
795
00:50:21.219 --> 00:50:26.179
understand that that person, whether it's Reid Hoffman or whoever else, well,
796
00:50:26.260 --> 00:50:28.659
they need access to you now or that money's going
797
00:50:28.679 --> 00:50:31.210
to dry up. And if you don't have that kind
798
00:50:31.250 --> 00:50:33.550
of money, you don't have that kind of backing, you
799
00:50:33.610 --> 00:50:36.340
are not going to win office in America because it's
800
00:50:36.380 --> 00:50:39.380
all a fucking scam these days, folks. It's all a scam.
801
00:50:39.699 --> 00:50:42.860
It's not about your neighbor going to D.C. to argue
802
00:50:42.900 --> 00:50:45.800
what's best for the community. It's about some lawyer or
803
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:48.869
some doctor going to D.C. so they can increase their
804
00:50:48.929 --> 00:50:52.349
wealth and get richer. So please pass me by when
805
00:50:52.369 --> 00:50:55.730
you're gaslighting and talking about how any of these politicians,
806
00:50:56.190 --> 00:50:59.050
R or D, care about us. because I do not
807
00:50:59.110 --> 00:51:01.119
believe it. And you know what the proof of that is?
808
00:51:01.480 --> 00:51:06.119
My 43 years on this earth watching them move. Such
809
00:51:06.179 --> 00:51:10.280
spending can come with certain perks, such as access. According
810
00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:13.389
to White House visitor logs, Hoffman visited the White House
811
00:51:13.670 --> 00:51:18.730
five times last year. Remember, Epstein visited Bill Clinton over
812
00:51:18.730 --> 00:51:21.929
17 times while he was in the White House. I'm
813
00:51:21.969 --> 00:51:25.400
sure that was just because Clinton loved Epstein's company, right?
814
00:51:25.639 --> 00:51:28.019
Had nothing to do with what Jeffy Boy was bringing
815
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:32.170
to the table. One visit appears to have been for
816
00:51:32.210 --> 00:51:36.710
the state dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron. The other
817
00:51:36.769 --> 00:51:40.760
four trips were for meetings... with Madeline Strasser, who at
818
00:51:40.780 --> 00:51:44.000
the time was an advisor to the White House chief
819
00:51:44.039 --> 00:51:47.579
of staff, Ron Klain, Kimberly Lang, who at the time
820
00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:52.199
was the executive assistant to Biden's national security advisor, and
821
00:51:52.260 --> 00:51:55.840
Jordan Finkelstein, a special assistant to Biden and chief of
822
00:51:55.889 --> 00:52:00.769
staff to the president's senior advisor. Hoffman and the campaigns
823
00:52:00.789 --> 00:52:04.269
for Tester, Rosen, and Casey did not respond to Fox
824
00:52:04.309 --> 00:52:07.699
News' digital requests for comment. Oh, of course they didn't.
825
00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:10.929
But if it was Alex Acosta, the legacy media would
826
00:52:10.969 --> 00:52:14.030
be abuzz. The bad news for them, meaning the legacy
827
00:52:14.110 --> 00:52:16.869
media and these people who are trying to craft narratives,
828
00:52:17.610 --> 00:52:19.469
is we're not going to play ball. We're going to
829
00:52:19.510 --> 00:52:21.750
follow the evidence and we're going to follow the truth.
830
00:52:22.250 --> 00:52:25.329
And the truth is, none of these scumbags on either
831
00:52:25.369 --> 00:52:28.449
side of the aisle give one single damn about you.
832
00:52:28.949 --> 00:52:32.820
How much more evidence do you need? All right, folks,
833
00:52:33.019 --> 00:52:34.760
that's going to do it for this one. All of
834
00:52:34.780 --> 00:52:37.690
