00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:03.950
What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
2
00:00:04.830 --> 00:00:08.130
So Prince Andrew and his nonsense is really going to
3
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:13.060
be a hindrance to the monarchy moving forward. And royal
4
00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:18.500
author Nigel Cawthorn, he feels the same exact way. Now look,
5
00:00:19.420 --> 00:00:24.899
the monarchy under the Queen's stewardship has had a pretty
6
00:00:24.980 --> 00:00:28.519
good 70 years. A lot of people respect the Queen.
7
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:31.879
A lot of people want to see the monarchy do well.
8
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.009
But how long is that goodwill going to last when
9
00:00:36.020 --> 00:00:40.390
you keep trotting out somebody like Prince Andrew at every turn?
10
00:00:42.250 --> 00:00:45.130
The Queen needs to understand that she can't force-feed Prince
11
00:00:45.270 --> 00:00:48.030
Andrew to the rest of us. We do not want
12
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:51.060
him in our faces. And I am sure of it
13
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.740
when I say this, that the people of the UK
14
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.939
certainly don't want him representing them. But yet, every time
15
00:00:57.979 --> 00:01:00.859
we turn around, it seems, Prince Andrew's finding a way
16
00:01:00.899 --> 00:01:03.799
to weasel his way back to the side of his mom,
17
00:01:04.099 --> 00:01:07.500
in front of a camera, or, like we talked about yesterday,
18
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.810
as part of this ceremony that's coming up. And time
19
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.939
and time again, he continues to do it, and time
20
00:01:14.980 --> 00:01:20.469
and time again, it continues to tarnish the legacy. Every
21
00:01:20.510 --> 00:01:23.750
single time. They attempt to force feed him to the public.
22
00:01:24.109 --> 00:01:28.359
It's another checkmark, another black mark on the queen and
23
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:32.599
her last days as the monarch. Because what she is
24
00:01:32.659 --> 00:01:37.340
doing here, enabling her son, protecting her son, and basically
25
00:01:37.409 --> 00:01:41.390
giving the finger to all of Epstein's survivors is unacceptable.
26
00:01:42.109 --> 00:01:44.189
And I'm sure the hell is going to call it out.
27
00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:49.420
Other people might not want to or feel bad criticizing
28
00:01:49.459 --> 00:01:52.670
the queen. I don't have any of those reservations. She's
29
00:01:52.689 --> 00:01:55.170
just a human being like the rest of us. And
30
00:01:55.230 --> 00:01:57.450
when you're in a position of leadership, you should be
31
00:01:57.510 --> 00:02:01.969
criticized at every single turn for every decision you make
32
00:02:02.209 --> 00:02:05.609
because the decisions you make affect so many other people
33
00:02:05.870 --> 00:02:10.189
besides yourself. So leaders are always going to be criticized.
34
00:02:10.629 --> 00:02:13.379
Leaders are always going to be looked at under a
35
00:02:13.419
Load full transcript
--> 00:02:16.860
microscope and they should be. And what we see here
36
00:02:16.939 --> 00:02:19.340
when we take a look at this slide and slide
37
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.259
it under the microscope, well, we see the amoeba, Prince Andrew,
38
00:02:23.379 --> 00:02:26.370
floating around and he doesn't want to go anywhere. And
39
00:02:26.409 --> 00:02:31.750
the queen, she refuses to do anything worthwhile here and
40
00:02:31.849 --> 00:02:35.030
send this guy into exile. Instead, we get to see
41
00:02:35.069 --> 00:02:40.530
him here for the garter ceremony instead. This article is
42
00:02:40.569 --> 00:02:46.110
from Newsweek.com. Headline, Prince Andrew's attendance at key ceremony tarnishes
43
00:02:46.189 --> 00:02:51.280
the monarchy. This article was authored by Jack Royston, and
44
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:56.539
it was published in Newsweek. Prince Andrew's attendance at a
45
00:02:56.580 --> 00:03:00.539
key ceremony for knighted Britons tarnishes the monarchy, a royal
46
00:03:00.580 --> 00:03:05.879
biographer has said. Nigel Cawthorn, author of Prince Andrew, Epstein, Maxwell,
47
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.340
and the Palace, said the prince's attendance at a major ceremony,
48
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.870
where other royals are likely to be present, will rake
49
00:03:12.949 --> 00:03:17.530
up the reputational damage of the Jeffrey Epstein saga. There
50
00:03:17.590 --> 00:03:21.129
is no doubt about it. Look, we're already talking about
51
00:03:21.150 --> 00:03:23.409
it here on the podcast, and I'm sure a bunch
52
00:03:23.430 --> 00:03:27.000
of other people are too. Anyone following the Jeffrey Epstein
53
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.900
case is looking at this, shaking their head in disgust.
54
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.250
There's no way, no how, that Prince Andrew should be
55
00:03:35.289 --> 00:03:38.090
invited to any party at all. Now, if it's a
56
00:03:38.129 --> 00:03:41.229
private party for the family, hey, great, do whatever you want.
57
00:03:41.789 --> 00:03:44.629
But these parties that are shoved in everyone's face with
58
00:03:44.689 --> 00:03:47.120
all of the royals on the balcony and all the
59
00:03:47.180 --> 00:03:50.180
pomp and circumstance, you really think there's a place for
60
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.740
Prince Andrew there? I certainly don't. This is a man
61
00:03:53.979 --> 00:03:56.300
who has proved time and time again to be an
62
00:03:56.659 --> 00:04:00.800
absolute anchor weighing the monarchy down. And if it wasn't
63
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.419
for his mother, the queen, this guy would already be
64
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:11.389
in London Tower. He told Newsweek it tarnishes the monarchy
65
00:04:11.490 --> 00:04:16.149
generally with this going on. Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, a.k.a.
66
00:04:16.189 --> 00:04:21.389
the Prince of Nothing, a.k.a. the Prince of Dumbasses, a.k.a.
67
00:04:21.850 --> 00:04:25.610
as the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family, will appear
68
00:04:25.649 --> 00:04:28.490
alongside other Knights of the Order of the Garter on
69
00:04:28.550 --> 00:04:32.300
June 13th according to a source close to the royal.
70
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.920
I mean, imagine being one of these other knights too,
71
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.019
and you get to stand next to Prince Andrew in line.
72
00:04:38.540 --> 00:04:40.920
All those pictures that are going to be snapped, all
73
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.019
the questions that are going to be asked of you. Hey,
74
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.240
what'd you guys talk about? You and Prince Andrew, you
75
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.959
guys homies? So if I was one of the knights
76
00:04:47.980 --> 00:04:50.360
that has to stand next to Prince Andrew, I would
77
00:04:50.379 --> 00:04:56.470
be pissed. Prince Andrew's return to the spotlight, after settling
78
00:04:56.529 --> 00:05:00.720
a sexual abuse lawsuit with Jeffrey Epstein's survivor, Virginia Roberts,
79
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.019
will come just eight days after the pageant that ends
80
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.620
the official celebrations of the monarch's platinum jubilee. Oh, the
81
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:12.870
official celebrations. Ha ha ha, get me my tea. Who cares?
82
00:05:13.490 --> 00:05:16.329
The whole world is on fire, and these people think
83
00:05:16.370 --> 00:05:21.100
having a jubilee celebration's a good idea, huh? Okay, I mean,
84
00:05:21.459 --> 00:05:23.500
if you want, but the rest of us are looking
85
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:28.259
at you shaking our heads. How much pomp and circumstance
86
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:33.579
do these people really need? After this jubilee celebration, I
87
00:05:33.620 --> 00:05:36.189
hope the party's over for these people for quite some time.
88
00:05:38.810 --> 00:05:41.410
There are just 24 members of the Order of Chivalry,
89
00:05:41.730 --> 00:05:44.750
including Prince Charles and Prince William, who may well be
90
00:05:44.829 --> 00:05:48.480
at the event. Queen Elizabeth II is not expected to
91
00:05:48.540 --> 00:05:52.240
attend this year due to recent mobility problems. Oh, she's
92
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:54.060
not going to go, but her son's going to go.
93
00:05:54.899 --> 00:05:56.519
And her other sons are going to go too, but
94
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.269
Prince Andrew, he's definitely making an appearance. This guy has
95
00:06:00.290 --> 00:06:02.649
never met a spotlight he didn't like, except for the
96
00:06:02.750 --> 00:06:04.730
one that was shined on him when he was friendly
97
00:06:04.769 --> 00:06:06.910
with Jeffrey Epstein. Then all of a sudden he had
98
00:06:06.949 --> 00:06:10.149
nothing to say. But you put a camera in his face,
99
00:06:10.589 --> 00:06:12.230
and if there's a way to make some money or
100
00:06:12.310 --> 00:06:14.740
grift or, in this case, try and work his way
101
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.439
back into society, you better believe he's going to be
102
00:06:17.540 -->
00:06:23.810
all over it. All right, folks, quick commercial break. Cawthorn
103
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:27.269
pointed to the backlash against the monarchy after Prince Andrew
104
00:06:27.329 --> 00:06:31.110
appeared at a memorial to Prince Philip at Westminster Abbey
105
00:06:31.370 --> 00:06:34.689
in March. walking Elizabeth to her seat during the event,
106
00:06:35.050 --> 00:06:39.240
broadcast live by the BBC. I guess that publicity wasn't
107
00:06:39.250 --> 00:06:42.139
good enough for the Queen. Either that or she just
108
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.060
ignores it in her hubris. Well, I'm the Queen of England.
109
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.360
I'll do whatever I want. Either you go on and
110
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:49.839
get along or you get out of my way. And
111
00:06:49.860 --> 00:06:51.699
I guess you have to have that mentality to be
112
00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:54.660
the Queen, right? But when we're dealing with something like this,
113
00:06:55.339 --> 00:06:59.220
and your son's basically Joffrey Baratheon at this point, how
114
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.980
are you not going to punish him? And then how
115
00:07:02.019 --> 00:07:04.689
are you going to look the nation in their eyes,
116
00:07:04.870 --> 00:07:07.189
the English people, and say to them that you care
117
00:07:07.230 --> 00:07:11.250
about them? Let's remember that not only is her son
118
00:07:11.290 --> 00:07:14.350
accused of this shit, he's accused of doing it in England.
119
00:07:15.610 --> 00:07:19.459
So that even adds to the disgusting factor for them.
120
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:26.060
But still, not a word. The palace, nothing about the survivors. Instead,
121
00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:29.000
it's always been cover your ass, right? Make sure Prince
122
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.879
Andrew is protected. Make sure Prince Andrew gets to come
123
00:07:31.899 --> 00:07:35.779
back and go to the garter ceremony. Nothing about these
124
00:07:35.819 --> 00:07:43.540
girls who have had their lives absolutely ruined. Several British
125
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.870
newspapers were heavily critical of the move, which came two
126
00:07:46.939 --> 00:07:49.670
months after the Queen stripped her second son, her second
127
00:07:49.709 --> 00:07:54.800
eldest son, of his honorary military titles and patronages. On
128
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.230
Andrew's appearance at Garter Day, Cawthorn said, it seems to
129
00:07:58.259 --> 00:08:00.730
me a rather odd thing to do given how the
130
00:08:00.790 --> 00:08:04.310
memorial service at Westminster Abbey went. There wasn't a very
131
00:08:04.350 --> 00:08:07.509
good reaction to that. It's June 28th when the Maxwell
132
00:08:07.529 --> 00:08:10.529
sentencing hearing is due. So remember, we also have the
133
00:08:10.569 --> 00:08:13.230
Maxwell hearing sentencing coming up. That is not, you know,
134
00:08:13.269 --> 00:08:15.689
that has not happened yet. And it's a key part
135
00:08:15.709 --> 00:08:18.839
of what's going on as far as the overall picture
136
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.920
of this case. And I'm very interested to see what
137
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.660
happens at this hearing. No doubt about that. But Prince
138
00:08:26.779 --> 00:08:29.779
Andrew's name is far from over in this. Wait till
139
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.639
Virginia Roberts gets up there and makes her victim impact statement.
140
00:08:33.090 --> 00:08:34.710
Wait till the other girls get up there and talk
141
00:08:34.750 --> 00:08:37.529
about what they know. Then we'll see how fun it
142
00:08:37.590 --> 00:08:39.769
is for Prince Andrew. We'll see how much he wants
143
00:08:39.789 --> 00:08:45.789
to be in front of the camera then. It's all
144
00:08:45.809 --> 00:08:48.570
going to come up again. Virginia Roberts has said that
145
00:08:48.610 --> 00:08:50.750
she was going to make a victim impact statement at
146
00:08:50.789 --> 00:08:54.600
the hearing. The Fuhrer comes after Buckingham Palace said in
147
00:08:54.700 --> 00:08:58.200
a January statement, the Duke of York will continue not
148
00:08:58.220 --> 00:09:01.980
to undertake any public duties and is defending this case
149
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:05.370
as a private citizen. So you get him up here, though,
150
00:09:05.750 --> 00:09:08.450
in his knightly role. He's being a knight in his
151
00:09:08.610 --> 00:09:13.590
private role. Come on. They think people are that daft,
152
00:09:13.649 --> 00:09:16.200
that dense, that they're not really paying attention to what's
153
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.019
going on here. Prince Andrew is being force fed right
154
00:09:20.059 --> 00:09:24.299
back into the public. And I don't think they're going
155
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.720
to get the reaction that they're hoping for. I think
156
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.159
people are going to be disgusted by it. And I
157
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.610
think people are going to be very vocal with how
158
00:09:31.669 --> 00:09:37.289
disgusted they are by it. Peter Hunt, a former BBC correspondent,
159
00:09:37.610 --> 00:09:41.029
suggested Andrew's bid for a return to the spotlight could
160
00:09:41.090 --> 00:09:44.470
strain relations between the palace and the BBC, which is
161
00:09:44.509 --> 00:09:47.070
helping put on a concert at the palace as part
162
00:09:47.110 --> 00:09:50.649
of the Platinum Jubilee on Saturday, June 4th. Well, with
163
00:09:50.710 --> 00:09:53.590
all of the big talk BBC does about Me Too
164
00:09:53.649 --> 00:09:55.950
and this, that, the other thing, you would think they'd
165
00:09:55.990 --> 00:09:59.950
be super critical of Prince Andrew. And you would think
166
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.929
that they wouldn't want to have any part of propagating
167
00:10:03.269 --> 00:10:06.970
someone who's accused of the disgusting crimes that Andrew's accused of.
168
00:10:09.710 --> 00:10:12.309
He wrote on Twitter, Buckingham Palace is relying on the
169
00:10:12.350 -->
00:10:15.490
BBC to help make the Jubilee a success. Just like
170
00:10:16.090 --> 00:10:20.580
in 2000 and 2012, the BBC is paying for the concert. Oh,
171
00:10:20.620 --> 00:10:23.580
that's nice. The Queen's like, you know what? We'll just
172
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:27.019
have the BBC pay for it. Imagine you'd have a
173
00:10:27.059 --> 00:10:31.240
news station pay for your celebration, all to have access
174
00:10:31.259 --> 00:10:34.740
to it. What a crazy world, folks. Enjoy your bread
175
00:10:34.779 --> 00:10:40.100
and circuses, at least while they last. As it strives
176
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:44.279
not to sink into sycophancy, one editorial issue will be
177
00:10:44.299 --> 00:10:47.600
the presence of Prince Andrew and any attempts he makes
178
00:10:48.139 --> 00:10:52.389
at a royal rehabilitation. So we'll see how critical BBC
179
00:10:52.509 --> 00:10:55.409
is of Andrew. But one thing that you folks can
180
00:10:55.490 --> 00:10:58.370
damn well be guaranteed of is that we'll be here
181
00:10:58.570 --> 00:11:02.610
every single day being critical of all of these people
182
00:11:03.429 --> 00:11:07.649
who were engaging with Epstein, breaking bread with Epstein, and,
183
00:11:08.070 --> 00:11:12.539
in Prince Andrew's case, being accused of partaking in the abuse.
184
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.370
None of these people are off the hook now or ever.
185
00:11:17.850 --> 00:11:19.529

links that I discussed can be found in the description box.
189
00:11:39.909 --> 00:11:41.669
All right, folks, we'll be back later on with a
190
00:11:41.700 --> 00:11:45.490
little more. I've said several times here on the podcast
191
00:11:45.529 --> 00:11:49.590
that I believe that the Windsor family is a monarchy
192
00:11:49.870 --> 00:11:53.600
that is in its dying throes. And I don't believe
193
00:11:53.629 --> 00:11:57.419
it'll be long, within the few decades at the most,
194
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.860
that the monarchy is a thing of the past, at
195
00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:05.340
least the Windsor branch. And the further we dig into
196
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.250
Prince Andrew, a.k.a. the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family,
197
00:12:09.830 --> 00:12:14.950
and the darker the dirt becomes... the more I am
198
00:12:15.090 --> 00:12:19.029
sure that the royal family will not be able to
199
00:12:19.090 --> 00:12:23.549
withstand the fallout. Now, I don't know if it'll be
200
00:12:23.629 --> 00:12:28.169
a complete destruction of the monarchy, where there's nothing there
201
00:12:28.470 --> 00:12:32.129
at all anymore, but I do believe that the Windsor family,
202
00:12:32.190 --> 00:12:35.450
I believe that their days are numbered. And according to
203
00:12:35.470 --> 00:12:38.600
the headline over here at the New Zealand Herald, the
204
00:12:38.750 --> 00:12:42.899
author of this article seems to be trending the same way.
205
00:12:44.389 --> 00:12:46.750
So our article tonight is from the New Zealand Herald,
206
00:12:47.769 --> 00:12:52.779
and the author is Daniela Elser. The headline? Prince Andrew,
207
00:12:53.019 --> 00:12:57.879
Jeffrey Epstein scandal could bring down the monarchy. And I
208
00:12:57.940 --> 00:13:00.600
agree with that headline. It most definitely could, and it
209
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:06.080
certainly looks like it's trending that way, right? Now, anything
210
00:13:06.100 --> 00:13:08.379
can happen. I guess there could be some sort of
211
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:13.529
miraculous save of the monarchy moving forward, but The future
212
00:13:13.610 --> 00:13:17.070
prospects for the Windsor family seem bleak at this point.
213
00:13:18.289 --> 00:13:22.230
This is a big deal, folks. And the deeper and
214
00:13:22.429 --> 00:13:26.049
further this goes without Andrew budging and with him being
215
00:13:26.590 --> 00:13:36.419
basically obstinate about everything, well, the more public opinion is
216
00:13:36.460 --> 00:13:39.500
going to turn on the Windsor family and the Royals
217
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:47.730
as a whole. This might sound wildly counterintuitive, but bear
218
00:13:47.769 --> 00:13:51.429
with me here. The modern royal family has been profoundly
219
00:13:51.529 --> 00:13:55.019
shaped by love. And again, look, I'm not a historian
220
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:56.980
of the royal family, and I really don't have an
221
00:13:57.179 --> 00:13:59.960
axe to grind with them as a family as a whole.
222
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.399
But what I do think is just disgusting and beyond
223
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.120
the pale is how Andrew was covered for by the
224
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:10.649
royal family for so long, and how they still continue
225
00:14:10.669 --> 00:14:15.250
to to be completely and utterly tone deaf to what
226
00:14:15.309 --> 00:14:21.080
is truly going on. King Edward VIII chose Wallace over
227
00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:24.419
ruling an empire, thus dramatically changing the course of young
228
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.519
Princess Elizabeth's life. Prince Charles will always be remembered as
229
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:32.759
the future monarch who obstinately waited 35 years to marry
230
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:35.539
the woman he loved. And Prince Harry's love for a
231
00:14:35.580 --> 00:14:39.879
biracial American woman offered the tantalizing prospect of a far
232
00:14:39.940 --> 00:14:43.080
more inclusive vision of the royal family in the 21st century.
233
00:14:44.779 --> 00:14:48.350
I guess Prince Harry and the other prince kid, I
234
00:14:48.370 --> 00:14:51.110
don't remember his name, William maybe? I don't know. I
235
00:14:51.169 --> 00:14:54.490
guess the people like them a
little bit more, right?
236
00:14:54.950 --> 00:14:58.519
But I think that, especially with the climate that we're
237
00:14:58.580 --> 00:15:01.500
seeing right now, and with the way things are turning,
238
00:15:01.899 --> 00:15:04.960
I really don't see how this monarchy in a place
239
00:15:05.019 --> 00:15:10.080
like England can last much longer. And the Queen... Her
240
00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:14.240
love for her second son, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, a.k.a.
241
00:15:14.299 --> 00:15:17.299
the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family, might prove to
242
00:15:17.350 --> 00:15:21.470
be the downfall of the monarchy. This week has seen
243
00:15:21.509 --> 00:15:24.149
the Duke thrust back into the headlines with news that
244
00:15:24.169 --> 00:15:27.509
the U.S. authorities have filed paperwork in the U.K. in
245
00:15:27.549 --> 00:15:30.570
an effort to compel the royal to give evidence about
246
00:15:30.610 --> 00:15:34.809
his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The move sparked a war
247
00:15:34.830 --> 00:15:38.149
of words with Andrew's high-priced legal team, who then hit back,
248
00:15:38.250 --> 00:15:41.610
insisting they had offered to help on at least three occasions.
249
00:15:42.210 --> 00:15:44.970
And we know what kind of BS that is, right?
250
00:15:45.029 --> 00:15:47.889
We know that Prince Andrew's legal team is trying to
251
00:15:47.929 --> 00:15:50.679
buy time here. They're trying to stall, and they're probably
252
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.139
looking for an out strategy, meaning hopefully they can pay
253
00:15:54.200 --> 00:16:00.220
people off. But their usual tactics, their usual strategies, they're
254
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.659
going to backfire in their face this time. because that
255
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.549
ship has sailed. Now, Andrew needs to come forward, and
256
00:16:07.590 --> 00:16:10.549
he needs to answer questions, and he needs to do
257
00:16:10.629 --> 00:16:17.210
it in front of FBI investigators. While there might be
258
00:16:17.250 --> 00:16:20.289
a brief cessation in hostilities here, know that this is
259
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:24.539
just a very temporary lull in a long and sordid saga.
260
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.139
That's one of my biggest gripes with this whole thing, too.
261
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.879
It's been going on for so long, and Andrew has
262
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:36.139
been in the middle of it. And his royal relatives,
263
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:39.379
his mom, his dad, nobody has demanded that he comes
264
00:16:39.460 --> 00:16:44.159
forward and gives information because they care about survivors or
265
00:16:44.210 --> 00:16:48.289
because they care about furthering justice or anything like that. No, instead,
266
00:16:48.330 --> 00:16:50.929
what do we hear? Oh, this is bad for the image.
267
00:16:50.970 --> 00:16:53.529
This is bad for the firm. This is bad for
268
00:16:53.549 --> 00:16:57.090
this one. This is bad for that one. Meanwhile, any
269
00:16:57.230 --> 00:17:00.440
sane person who's paying attention really doesn't give a shit
270
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:05.410
what these pampered royals are going through. The only people
271
00:17:05.450 --> 00:17:08.559
who matter in this case are the people who were
272
00:17:08.619 --> 00:17:14.319
abused by Epstein and Prince Andrew's buddies. Well, those are
273
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:17.279
the people who we should be concerned with, not with
274
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.420
what these royals think or if these royals feel like
275
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:24.559
their image is being tarnished. Because at the end of
276
00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:29.099
the day, who cares about their image? Who cares about
277
00:17:29.140 --> 00:17:35.930
their public persona? If these people... won't step forward and
278
00:17:35.970 --> 00:17:39.950
do the right thing, then they deserve scorn, they deserve scrutiny,
279
00:17:40.190 --> 00:17:44.950
and they deserve everything that's coming their way. December this
280
00:17:44.990 --> 00:17:47.700
year will be the 10-year anniversary of the Duke's decision
281
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:50.920
to fly to New York in 2010 for five days
282
00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:54.140
to say goodbye to his friend Epstein, because at the time,
283
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.299
he felt that was the honorable and right thing to do.
284
00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:00.670
And we've talked about this at length, right? You don't
285
00:18:00.750 --> 00:18:03.740
fly across the pond to go and tell some dude,
286
00:18:04.140 --> 00:18:06.660
oh yeah, we're not going to be friends anymore. Sorry, buddy.
287
00:18:06.700 --> 00:18:08.839
That's it. Our friendship is over. But I had to
288
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:12.390
fly across the pond here to tell you that. No
289
00:18:12.490 --> 00:18:18.309
sane person flies across the Atlantic Ocean to break up
290
00:18:18.369 --> 00:18:22.559
with their pedophile friend. Okay? If you don't think there
291
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:24.400
was much more to it than that, if you don't
292
00:18:24.420 --> 00:18:26.839
think there was some other sort of negotiation that was
293
00:18:26.900 --> 00:18:30.700
occurring between these two numbnuts, well, you're being a bit naive.
294
00:18:32.930 --> 00:18:36.589
In the nearly decade since that infamous U.S. trip, public
295
00:18:36.630 --> 00:18:41.039
knowledge of Andrews' ties to the disgraced financier, pedophile, and
296
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:44.920
the royal family's catastrophic attempts to manage this sordid chapter
297
00:18:45.259 --> 00:18:47.740
have left the monarchy mired in what must be its
298
00:18:47.819 --> 00:18:51.960
grubbiest chapter in a century. Time and again, the firm
299
00:18:51.980 --> 00:18:56.400
has responded with a breathtaking level of incompetence and denseness.
300
00:18:57.140 --> 00:18:59.869
That sums it up pretty much exactly the way I'm
301
00:18:59.900 --> 00:19:06.750
feeling as well. Because it's very incompetent,
very ridiculous, and
302
00:19:06.970 --> 00:19:12.369
absolutely tone deaf the way that the royal family has
303
00:19:12.450 --> 00:19:15.599
responded to this. You know, they need to answer some
304
00:19:15.660 --> 00:19:20.589
questions and not canned statements. because they're going to come
305
00:19:20.670 --> 00:19:24.890
out of this looking real, real bad. And especially when
306
00:19:25.150 --> 00:19:27.789
all the dirt is released and if these court documents
307
00:19:27.809 --> 00:19:31.910
start coming out and there is more salacious reporting about
308
00:19:32.230 --> 00:19:34.670
Prince Andrew and his activities and what he was up to,
309
00:19:35.109 --> 00:19:37.519
can you imagine how bad this is going to look
310
00:19:37.539 --> 00:19:40.099
for them? Instead of getting out in front of it
311
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:44.299
and making compelling Andrew to do the right thing, it
312
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.500
seems like the royal family, meaning the queen and her husband,
313
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.940
I guess, our, our, complicit in hiding this man and
314
00:19:53.059 --> 00:20:00.349
enabling his behavior. If there is one thing that sums
315
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.869
up how ineptly and obtusely the firm has handled things,
316
00:20:04.190 --> 00:20:08.500
look at the events of early 2011. In February, photos
317
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:11.890
of Andrew and Epstein walking in Central Park emerged with
318
00:20:11.910 --> 00:20:14.690
the New York Post splashing them on the front page
319
00:20:14.750 --> 00:20:19.569
with the headline, Prince and the Perv. And I remember
320
00:20:19.630 --> 00:20:21.970
those headlines when they came out. I read the New
321
00:20:21.990 --> 00:20:24.930
York Post sports section because, well, I'm a sports fan
322
00:20:25.109 --> 00:20:27.730
and I like teams in New York. And they, you know,
323
00:20:28.019 --> 00:20:30.220
the hockey coverage for the New York Rangers in the
324
00:20:30.259 --> 00:20:33.279
post is usually pretty damn good. So I read a
325
00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:36.559
lot of New York Post sports pages and And I
326
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:40.059
remember coming across that headline and chuckling and shaking my
327
00:20:40.099 --> 00:20:41.839
head and saying to myself, what the hell is this
328
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:46.769
nonsense about? And reading the story and just saying, what
329
00:20:46.809 --> 00:20:49.549
is even going on here? And wondering how a guy
330
00:20:49.589 --> 00:20:52.170
like Prince Andrew could get caught up with somebody like
331
00:20:52.230 --> 00:20:54.970
Jeffrey Epstein. Now, mind you, I didn't know anything about
332
00:20:55.009 --> 00:20:57.309
this case for the most part back then, but it
333
00:20:57.349 --> 00:20:59.509
was just one of those headlines that you remember, right?
334
00:20:59.609 --> 00:21:03.019
Anytime you got a Prince of England, Being accused of
335
00:21:03.059 --> 00:21:05.920
hanging out with a pervert and a pedophile, that's a
336
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:09.339
headline that you remember. So I remember when they were
337
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:13.609
making that push originally, but I never really dug into it, right?
338
00:21:13.670 --> 00:21:17.049
It never piqued my interest. I had no idea what
339
00:21:17.109 --> 00:21:20.990
was really occurring. And again, that is a failure on
340
00:21:21.029 --> 00:21:24.809
the legacy media's part for not informing the public and
341
00:21:24.869 --> 00:21:27.819
the people who are interested in what is really going
342
00:21:28.059 --> 00:21:31.960
on about what the case truly entailed, how deep it
343
00:21:32.019 --> 00:21:34.859
really went, and how many people were truly connected to
344
00:21:34.900 --> 00:21:38.839
this guy. So now I look back on that on
345
00:21:38.859 --> 00:21:41.119
those kind of days when I'd skip over those headlines
346
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:44.519
or just, you know, glance at the article and breeze
347
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:46.720
through it. I look back on that now and I
348
00:21:46.779 --> 00:21:49.180
say to myself, oh man, if I only had known
349
00:21:49.259 --> 00:21:53.549
then what I know now. Only a month later, the
350
00:21:53.589 --> 00:21:56.730
Queen made the decision to invest Andrew with the insignia
351
00:21:56.910 --> 00:21:59.910
of a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order,
352
00:22:00.309 --> 00:22:04.700
the highest honor she can hand out. I mean, that
353
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:07.279
sounds like it's fancy, right? I don't know much about,
354
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:12.180
you know, the awards and the honors that the aristocracy
355
00:22:12.259 --> 00:22:15.289
of England, the lords and the ladies get, but whenever
356
00:22:15.309 --> 00:22:19.809
you're getting a knight grand cross of the royal Victorian order,
357
00:22:20.049 --> 00:22:24.190
it certainly sounds pretty fancy. And again, why would the queen,
358
00:22:24.509 --> 00:22:27.630
I don't really, I don't understand why she would still
359
00:22:27.670 --> 00:22:29.880
be associating with him the way she does and the
360
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.259
way she protected him before when all of this first
361
00:22:33.380 --> 00:22:36.589
broke It's just, it's crazy to me to read back
362
00:22:36.710 --> 00:22:40.160
and really dig in to that whole entire portion of
363
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:44.440
this story. Because I never really understood what was going on.
364
00:22:45.579 --> 00:22:50.420
I never had any idea that Prince Andrew, the Joe
365
00:22:50.460 --> 00:22:56.609
Exotic of the Windsor family, was such a completely amoral
366
00:22:56.750 --> 00:23:00.630
dirtbag as he is. And I remember just skimming over
367
00:23:00.710 --> 00:23:04.680
all of those stories and wow. Then you think the
368
00:23:04.779 --> 00:23:11.950
Queen would give him this Victorian Order Grand Cross thing.
369
00:23:12.730 --> 00:23:16.619
It really makes you think that maybe
the Queen deserves
370
00:23:16.670 --> 00:23:19.279
a lot more scrutiny than I have given her. I've
371
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:22.440
avoided really putting much scrutiny on the Queen because I'm
372
00:23:22.460 --> 00:23:25.680
not the kind of person that blames the Mother Queen.
373
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:28.019
for the deeds of the son or the son for
374
00:23:28.059 --> 00:23:30.400
the deeds of the mother, et cetera, et cetera. But
375
00:23:30.500 --> 00:23:33.200
when you keep reading these stories and you keep seeing
376
00:23:33.259 --> 00:23:36.339
how much she enabled him and how much she still
377
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:39.079
continues to enable him, well, you have to start looking
378
00:23:39.140 --> 00:23:41.920
at the queen a bit sideways and asking yourself what
379
00:23:41.940 --> 00:23:47.740
the hell is wrong with her too. The move was
380
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:50.880
a pointed show of support for embattled Andy, a means
381
00:23:50.940 --> 00:23:55.549
of trying to repel the hardship he faced at the time. Instead,
382
00:23:56.180 --> 00:24:00.440
The positively futile gesture left the queen looking woefully, if
383
00:24:00.500 --> 00:24:06.329
not willfully, oblivious to community sentiment. And yeah, I have
384
00:24:06.349 --> 00:24:11.410
to agree with that comment because from the outside looking in,
385
00:24:12.069 --> 00:24:16.009
and obviously I'm an American, not a subject of the kingdom,
386
00:24:16.029 --> 00:24:18.970
the monarchy, but from the outside looking in, it really
387
00:24:19.009 --> 00:24:22.509
looks like the queen is basically complicit with this man's behavior.
388
00:24:22.789 --> 00:24:24.730
And I understand it's her son and you want to
389
00:24:24.769 --> 00:24:27.829
look the other way, But sometimes, as a parent, you
390
00:24:27.869 --> 00:24:32.700
have to understand that, look, this kid's no good. And
391
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:34.619
I believe that's where Andrew's at at this point. He's
392
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:38.279
certainly a damn no-good son of a gun, in my opinion.
393
00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:47.109
The man has no redeeming factors. With the Andrew and
394
00:24:47.289 --> 00:24:50.400
Epstein show having no signs of reaching any sort of
395
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:54.839
conclusion and the royal family's spectacular bungling, and that's being generous,
396
00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:57.980
of the situation having gone on for nearly a decade,
397
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:02.869
the question now is, will the monarchy survive? And I
398
00:25:03.690 --> 00:25:06.670
have that same question. I've been asking that on the
399
00:25:06.849 --> 00:25:09.990
air here on the podcast. And when I speak with
400
00:25:10.029 --> 00:25:12.380
my father, we talk about this sort of thing all
401
00:25:12.420 --> 00:25:14.859
the time. And it just does not seem to me
402
00:25:15.190 --> 00:25:17.640
that they have a tenable position here. It seems like
403
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.779
they're
going to be forced out at some point. Because
404
00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:23.180
you know a lot of the junior branches who have
405
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:27.059
a claim, even if it's a distant claim to the crown,
406
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:29.660
you have to think they're starting to get thoughts in
407
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:32.680
their head and they're starting to jockey amongst themselves to
408
00:25:33.619 --> 00:25:35.819
think about who is going to come in and move
409
00:25:35.859 --> 00:25:38.759
into the vacuum and take over for the Windsors when
410
00:25:38.819 --> 00:25:42.549
they fall off the throne here. because it certainly looks
411
00:25:42.589 --> 00:25:46.059
to me that that is the way we're going. Consider
412
00:25:46.099 --> 00:25:49.059
the steps Buckingham Palace has taken to address not only
413
00:25:49.099 --> 00:25:53.119
the Duke's ties to the disgraced financier, pedophile, but also
414
00:25:53.180 --> 00:25:55.970
the allegation that he had sex on three occasions with
415
00:25:56.049 --> 00:26:01.170
Virginia Roberts, an alleged teen trafficking survivor. Prince Andrew, the
416
00:26:01.210 --> 00:26:05.019
Joe Exotic of the Windsor family, has categorically and repeatedly
417
00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:08.900
denied the allegations. BS. We don't believe you. That is
418
00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:11.960
well established. You can have all of the denials you want,
419
00:26:12.390 --> 00:26:15.049
but the reality of the situation is you have no
420
00:26:15.170 --> 00:26:21.329
evidence and no receipts to back up any of those denials.
421
00:26:21.470 --> 00:26:24.839
In 2015, when Andrew first faced claims of having sexual
422
00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:30.240
relations with Roberts, Buckingham Palace took the then unprecedented step
423
00:26:30.299 --> 00:26:34.059
of issuing a statement saying... It is emphatically denied that
424
00:26:34.099 --> 00:26:37.160
the Duke of York had any form of sexual contact
425
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:41.380
or relationship with Virginia Roberts. Any claim to the contrary
426
00:26:41.660 --> 00:26:46.940
is false and without foundation. Weeks later, Andrew appeared at
427
00:26:46.980 --> 00:26:50.440
the World Economic Forum in Davos. And again, this goes
428
00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:54.319
back to my feelings on the Queen. When I first
429
00:26:54.339 --> 00:26:59.079
started following all of this and the disgusting behavior of
430
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:02.390
the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family... I was more
431
00:27:02.450 --> 00:27:05.109
willing to give the Queen a pass for what's going on,
432
00:27:05.369 --> 00:27:08.609
for reasons stated earlier. But at this point, it seems
433
00:27:08.650 --> 00:27:12.009
like at every turn, all she does is enable Andrew's behavior,
434
00:27:12.339 --> 00:27:15.400
and all she does is continue to let him get
435
00:27:15.460 --> 00:27:27.410
away with all of this absolutely horrendous behavior. Then came
436
00:27:27.410 --> 00:27:32.190
2019 and the unsealing of civil court documents, which thrust
437
00:27:32.369 --> 00:27:35.410
Andrew's ties to Epstein back into the headlines, which was
438
00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:39.799
swiftly followed by Epstein's arrest in July. When Epstein was
439
00:27:39.859 --> 00:27:41.859
found dead in his New York jail cell in August,
440
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:44.799
the Queen responded by staging a very blatant show of
441
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.180
support by having Andrew by her side as she made
442
00:27:48.220 --> 00:27:52.319
her way to church that Sunday. And again, it just
443
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:55.700
keeps proving that the Queen really doesn't give a damn
444
00:27:55.740 --> 00:27:58.500
about these survivors either. None of these people do. And
445
00:27:58.539 --> 00:28:01.740
it's all about the public image. It's all about making
446
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:05.160
sure that her dear boy Andy has a chance to
447
00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:09.940
rebuild that image and in turn erase the black eye
448
00:28:09.980 --> 00:28:14.099
that he caused the royal family. Meanwhile, there is zero
449
00:28:14.140 --> 00:28:18.670
chance of that ever occurring. In November, when Andrew sat
450
00:28:18.690 --> 00:28:22.130
down with the BBC's Emily Maitlis for his now infamous interview,
451
00:28:22.170 --> 00:28:26.609
the symbolism was clear. Andrew ensconced in the bosom of
452
00:28:26.670 --> 00:28:30.519
Buckingham Palace. It was a powerful visual signal that he
453
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:33.920
had the backing of the edifice of the monarchy and
454
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:39.839
the monarch. And that's pretty telling. And it's pretty powerful
455
00:28:39.900 --> 00:28:43.170
stuff to think about, right? When you think back to
456
00:28:43.210 --> 00:28:48.250
where the interview was and the setting it was in,
457
00:28:48.950 --> 00:28:53.410
that statement really rings true here. Because it was Andrew
458
00:28:53.509 --> 00:28:56.829
ensconced in the bosom of Buckingham Palace. And it was
459
00:28:56.890 --> 00:28:58.970
a visual signal that he had the backing of the
460
00:28:59.029 --> 00:29:03.099
monarch and the monarchy. So what does that say to survivors?
461
00:29:03.619 --> 00:29:06.819
And what does that say to the people who Andrew
462
00:29:06.859 --> 00:29:12.349
has wronged? Then came 50-odd minutes of Andrew putting on
463
00:29:12.369 --> 00:29:16.539
a dismissive, arrogant performance, during which he offered up sweating
464
00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:20.599
and an outing to a pizza restaurant to counter Roberts' claims.
465
00:29:21.259 --> 00:29:24.759
Even the Queen, by all accounts his staunchest palace ally,
466
00:29:25.180 --> 00:29:27.690
knew that she had to act, and days later the
467
00:29:27.750 --> 00:29:31.630
Duke announced he was stepping back from his royal duties. Basically,
468
00:29:31.730 --> 00:29:34.849
mommy grounded him. He was finally so much of a
469
00:29:34.890 --> 00:29:37.640
train wreck, that the Queen had to step in and
470
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:40.390
tell his dumb ass, you are no longer invited. in
471
00:29:40.430 --> 00:29:43.799
your royal duties. Now go to your room and shut
472
00:29:43.819 --> 00:29:48.980
your yap. Taken together over the last 10 years or so,
473
00:29:49.380 --> 00:29:54.119
Her Majesty has wheeled out all the tools in her arsenal. Awards,
474
00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:59.019
public appearances, and even the grandeur of Buckingham Palace. in
475
00:29:59.059 --> 00:30:02.440
an attempt to buffer her beloved son from this growing
476
00:30:02.779 --> 00:30:06.089
media storm. And he has, again, he has nobody to
477
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:09.009
blame but himself. Did anybody tell him to go hang
478
00:30:09.049 --> 00:30:11.990
out with Jeffrey Epstein? Who told him to associate with
479
00:30:12.029 --> 00:30:17.009
Ghislaine Maxwell? Who told him to have relations with Virginia Roberts?
480
00:30:17.150 --> 00:30:19.670
He did that all on his own will and from
481
00:30:20.819 --> 00:30:25.069
his own decision-making process. He has nobody to blame but himself,
482
00:30:25.430 --> 00:30:29.390
and all the awards, all the ribbons, all the parties,
483
00:30:29.730 --> 00:30:32.509
and all of the statements from Buckingham Palace will not
484
00:30:32.609 --> 00:30:36.380
change that. Not only have they all failed to quell
485
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:39.819
the crisis, but they have stoked public anger, creating the
486
00:30:39.859 --> 00:30:43.259
impression of a monarch circling the royal wagons, deaf to
487
00:30:43.299 --> 00:30:46.670
the growing furor beyond the palace gates. And a lot
488
00:30:46.690 --> 00:30:49.970
of monarchs have made this mistake throughout history. They don't
489
00:30:50.009 --> 00:30:53.390
hear the masses until the masses are at the gates
490
00:30:53.769 --> 00:30:58.700
with the pitchforks and the torches. And by that time, conversation,
491
00:30:59.339 --> 00:31:03.400
and the time for it, has long gone. The vision
492
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:06.869
of the queen, out of touch, high-handed, and obtusely putting
493
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:10.210
her son before her country, could wreak long-term damage on
494
00:31:10.230 --> 00:31:12.349
the House of Windsor. And this is what I've been
495
00:31:12.390 --> 00:31:17.240
talking about. It always struck me as a very, very
496
00:31:17.740 --> 00:31:22.630
big mistake to try and defend Andrew, a.k.a. the Joe
497
00:31:22.670 --> 00:31:28.670
Exotic of the Windsor family, instead of jettisoning him and
498
00:31:29.230 --> 00:31:32.019
getting rid of him and moving forward and trying to
499
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:37.099
rebuild your image that way. But instead, like the article states,
500
00:31:37.180 --> 00:31:42.140
they circled the wagons. For one thing, the handling of
501
00:31:42.180 --> 00:31:46.089
the situation has seemingly confirmed a slew of criticisms that
502
00:31:46.109 --> 00:31:49.450
have been previously
previously lobbed at the firm, that they
503
00:31:49.490 --> 00:31:52.930
are a bunch of profoundly out of touch, spoiled toffs
504
00:31:53.190 --> 00:31:56.930
who will do whatever they fancy. Compounding the danger here
505
00:31:57.349 --> 00:32:00.500
is the timing. They are most certainly all of those things,
506
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:03.099
completely out of touch, just like the rest of the
507
00:32:03.140 --> 00:32:06.380
members of so-called polite society. They are so out of
508
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:09.500
touch that in their minds, their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein
509
00:32:09.539 --> 00:32:16.490
is completely okay. When Diana, Princess of Wales, died in 1997,
510
00:32:16.490 --> 00:32:19.430
the Queen faced a tsunami of anger in Britain over
511
00:32:19.490 --> 00:32:23.630
her handling of the situation, including her initial refusal to
512
00:32:23.690 --> 00:32:26.500
fly the flag at half-mast at the palace and her
513
00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:29.660
refusal to come back to London. It took her years
514
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:32.559
and years to gradually replace the picture of her as
515
00:32:32.619 --> 00:32:36.599
a cold-hearted autocrat, unresponsive to the outpouring of her people
516
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:40.359
and to morph into the grandmotherly figure beloved by the nation.
517
00:32:41.539 --> 00:32:44.039
And I don't have much to comment about that because
518
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:47.279
I don't know much about that time period in London
519
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:50.940
and in England. I never really followed the Diana situation
520
00:32:51.579 --> 00:32:55.180
and I don't have enough of my own knowledge there
521
00:32:55.430 --> 00:32:59.279
to offer an opinion. To be blunt, the queen just
522
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:01.079
does not have the time for the same sort of
523
00:33:01.140 --> 00:33:04.849
long-term image repair. At 94 years old, her reign will
524
00:33:04.940 --> 00:33:07.609
end at some point in the next decade. In her
525
00:33:07.690 --> 00:33:10.470
final years on the throne, rather than basking in the
526
00:33:10.529 --> 00:33:14.430
warm glow of public admiration, confident the monarchy will thrive
527
00:33:14.470 --> 00:33:17.410
in the future, she could well be leaving it as
528
00:33:17.430 --> 00:33:23.910
a beleaguered foundering institution. And that's what it is already.
529
00:33:24.109 --> 00:33:25.799
Even if they don't want to accept it, that's what
530
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:31.890
it is. A beleaguered foundering institution at this point. When
531
00:33:31.910 --> 00:33:34.470
the sad day comes that the queen is reunited with
532
00:33:34.509 --> 00:33:37.259
her corgis in the palace in the sky and Charles
533
00:33:37.339 --> 00:33:40.819
ascends to the throne, the royal family's fortunes don't look
534
00:33:40.859 --> 00:33:44.279
set to improve either. While his standing has steadily risen
535
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:47.920
over the years, his long-term commitment to environmental issues winning
536
00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:50.880
him a new generation of supporters, it is doubtful he
537
00:33:50.900 --> 00:33:55.049
will ever be truly beloved as a monarch. And I'm
538
00:33:55.069 --> 00:33:58.529
guessing that has to do with the whole Diana situation. Again,
539
00:33:58.690 --> 00:34:03.309
I'm not really well versed enough in English monarch history
540
00:34:03.390 --> 00:34:07.259
and lore to offer a big opinion here. But from
541
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:12.119
where I'm sitting, his problem is obviously the Diana problem.
542
00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:15.659
Assuming that Charles will live as long as his grandmother,
543
00:34:15.900 --> 00:34:18.960
the Queen Mother, who passed away at 101 years old,
544
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:22.219
it means it will be nearly 30 years until Prince
545
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:26.610
William is crowned king. The uncomfortable question is, just what
546
00:34:26.739 --> 00:34:31.559
sort of state will the monarchy be in by that stage? Sure,
547
00:34:31.739 --> 00:34:34.960
every adorable photo of the Cambridge kid slapped up on Instagram,
548
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:38.099
and every time Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, turns up
549
00:34:38.179 --> 00:34:41.820
somewhere looking lovely, gives the entire royal brand a good
550
00:34:41.860 --> 00:34:45.550
jolt PR-wise. Is that really going to be enough, though,
551
00:34:45.590 --> 00:34:48.389
to offset the damage already done by both Andrew and
552
00:34:48.409 --> 00:34:51.489
the Queen's attempts to tamp things down? I don't think
553
00:34:51.530 --> 00:34:53.809
it will be. I truly do not think it will be.
554
00:34:54.150 --> 00:34:58.329
And it's nothing against the next generation of Windsors, right?
555
00:34:58.650 --> 00:35:00.750
The next generation of kids all seem to be pretty
556
00:35:00.789 --> 00:35:03.829
decent people from what I can tell. The one cat
557
00:35:03.889 --> 00:35:07.110
who split from the UK and married the American girl,
558
00:35:07.409 --> 00:35:09.010
I think that dude had the right of it. Why
559
00:35:09.030 --> 00:35:11.159
would I want to be associated with this sick bastard
560
00:35:11.179 --> 00:35:14.159
of an uncle of mine? I'd want to split too.
561
00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:17.320
But maybe if one of those dudes could become king,
562
00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:19.920
maybe they have the chance to save their family. But
563
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:21.960
with the queen on her way out in the next
564
00:35:22.019 --> 00:35:25.480
decade or so, And Prince Charles getting ready to take
565
00:35:25.579 --> 00:35:28.880
over the sovereignty role. Well, I don't think that's good
566
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:32.309
for anybody because even they're saying here in the article,
567
00:35:32.349 --> 00:35:35.150
the guy's not that he's not loved in the nation.
568
00:35:35.469 --> 00:35:37.619
He's not the guy that's going to bridge any gaps.
569
00:35:37.659 --> 00:35:41.880
That's for sure.
What seems certain is that in the
570
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:45.019
coming years, William, Kate, and their three kids will face
571
00:35:45.059 --> 00:35:48.650
an Everest-like uphill battle to shore up the Windsor brand,
572
00:35:48.889 --> 00:35:53.769
and it will fall on their five very photogenic shoulders
573
00:35:53.829 --> 00:35:57.389
to not only make the monarchy seem appealing, but crucially,
574
00:35:57.829 --> 00:36:02.150
relevant and useful in British society. And I think that's
575
00:36:02.190 --> 00:36:06.900
what it all comes down to. If I had a
576
00:36:06.940 --> 00:36:08.619
gun to my head and I had to make a wager,
577
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:13.360
I would wager at some point that the English people
578
00:36:13.420 --> 00:36:18.280
will do away with this monarchy as a whole. There
579
00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:20.449
might be some sort of figurehead like some of these
580
00:36:20.510 --> 00:36:24.309
other monarchies, you know, to respect their history or whatever.
581
00:36:24.690 --> 00:36:27.090
But as far as really having any sort of sway
582
00:36:27.130 --> 00:36:29.110
in the nation or any sort of say in what
583
00:36:29.170 --> 00:36:32.030
goes on, I really don't see that being the case
584
00:36:32.070 --> 00:36:35.869
in a place like England moving forward in the coming years. Now,
585
00:36:35.929 --> 00:36:37.949
I have no idea when something like this will occur.
586
00:36:38.010 --> 00:36:41.889
Like I said, I don't know. But all signs point
587
00:36:42.010 --> 00:36:45.719
to a monarchy that is most certainly in trouble. And
588
00:36:45.940 --> 00:36:49.809
all fingers... of those looking for somebody to blame should
589
00:36:49.849 --> 00:36:53.289
be aimed in the direction of the Joe Exotic of
590
00:36:53.369 --> 00:36:56.940
the Windsor family. If you'd like to contact me, you
591

593
00:37:10.860 --> 00:37:14.400
All right, folks, we'll do it all. What's up, everyone,
594
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:19.309
and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. The Joe Exotic
595
00:37:19.369 --> 00:37:23.170
of the Windsor family, a.k.a. Prince Andrew, finds himself up
596
00:37:23.230 --> 00:37:27.179
against it once again, as the shadow of Jeffrey Epstein
597
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:30.699
continues to loom large from the grave. And it doesn't
598
00:37:30.739 --> 00:37:34.079
look like that shadow is going to remove itself from Andrew...
599
00:37:34.219 --> 00:37:38.280
anytime soon, especially on the back of the news that
600
00:37:38.340 --> 00:37:40.809
we just learned a couple of days ago from Judge
601
00:37:40.869 --> 00:37:43.889
Preska about the names that are going to be released.
602
00:37:44.690 --> 00:37:48.389
So things are about to get pretty dicey for Prince Andrew.
603
00:37:48.889 --> 00:37:51.550
The problem? He's never going to have to face consequences
604
00:37:51.610 --> 00:37:55.119
no matter what. There's been plenty out there already that
605
00:37:55.139 --> 00:37:57.139
should have had his ass in front of the FBI.
606
00:37:57.559 --> 00:38:00.300
That never happened. So what Johanna has to say here,
607
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:04.179
unfortunately in my opinion, is not going to move any mountains,
608
00:38:04.579 --> 00:38:07.019
and it's not going to make Prince Andrew find any
609
00:38:07.059 --> 00:38:11.019
kind of moral compass and become a man. Instead, he'll
610
00:38:11.059 --> 00:38:14.159
continue to hide at the palace like the little bitch
611
00:38:14.429 --> 00:38:17.869
he is. Today's article is from the Daily Mail and
612
00:38:17.889 --> 00:38:21.099
the Headline. Is Prince Andrew set for fresh legal battle
613
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:24.320
in the new year? Duke faces more scrutiny over ties
614
00:38:24.340 --> 00:38:28.909
to pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein after U.S. judge ruled documents
615
00:38:29.230 --> 00:38:32.550
from an accuser who claimed royal groper Bress should be
616
00:38:32.590 --> 00:38:37.730
made public. So Preska, she just went ham, right? She's like,
617
00:38:37.750 --> 00:38:40.320
you know what? We're releasing all of it. You get
618
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:43.460
a document. You get a document. You get a document.
619
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:46.110
Kind of like being on Oprah. And if I could
620
00:38:46.170 --> 00:38:49.599
send Judge Preska a charcuterie board, I most certainly would.
621
00:38:50.019 --> 00:38:52.739
Because out of all the judges that we've dealt with
622
00:38:52.980 --> 00:38:55.820
throughout this whole thing, she has really been down when
623
00:38:55.860 --> 00:38:59.420
it comes to transparency. Remember, there's a lot of judges
624
00:38:59.500 --> 00:39:01.719
out there who have dealt with this, who have decided
625
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:04.789
to go the other way. But Judge Preska, she wasn't
626
00:39:04.829 --> 00:39:07.690
really dealing with any of their nonsense from the beginning.
627
00:39:08.090 --> 00:39:10.590
She told them that this stuff was going to become public.
628
00:39:11.110 --> 00:39:13.949
And guess what? Here we are. All of this stuff
629
00:39:14.309 --> 00:39:17.110
is about to be public. The author of this article
630
00:39:17.230 --> 00:39:22.800
is Rory Tingle. Prince Andrew's links with pedophile financier Jeffrey
631
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:26.150
Epstein are set to come under further scrutiny with the
632
00:39:26.190 --> 00:39:29.309
release of hundreds of files from a defamation case in
633
00:39:29.329 --> 00:39:32.920
the new year. U.S. Judge Loretta Preska has ruled that
634
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:36.800
the documents relating to more than 170 people who are
635
00:39:36.820 --> 00:39:40.880
either associates, friends, or victims of the multimillionaire sex offender
636
00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:44.360
should be made public. They are currently referred to only
637
00:39:44.739 --> 00:39:48.760
as J. Doe. They include 40 documents of evidence from
638
00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:52.510
Johanna Schuberg, who has claimed Prince Andrew touched her breast
639
00:39:52.849 --> 00:39:56.289
while sitting on a couch inside the U.S. billionaire's Manhattan
640
00:39:56.309 --> 00:40:00.769
apartment in 2001. So all of this stuff about Prince
641
00:40:00.909 --> 00:40:04.139
Andrew is stuff we all knew, right? Stuff that's been
642
00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:07.480
out there forever. But now that the documents are coming out,
643
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:10.099
once again, we're going to have some more receipts for
644
00:40:10.139 --> 00:40:12.400
all the stuff that we've been talking about. And it
645
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:15.760
will also show you the lies of omission by the
646
00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:18.860
legacy media. You would think that they'd make a bigger
647
00:40:19.059 --> 00:40:21.380
deal out of some of this stuff, right? But no.
648
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:24.460
Where have they been throughout this whole thing? Now all
649
00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:27.719
of a sudden there's new information coming out and everybody's
650
00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:32.050
an expert again. Buckingham Palace previously said the allegations are
651
00:40:32.139 --> 00:40:37.309
categorically untrue. The documents are part of a 2015 U.S.
652
00:40:37.730 --> 00:40:42.969
defamation case by Virginia Roberts against Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite,
653
00:40:43.150 --> 00:40:46.760
you mean Child trafficker? You mean child abuser? You mean
654
00:40:46.860 --> 00:40:51.280
all-around scuzzbag and bipedal serpent, right? Who supplied Epstein with
655
00:40:51.340 --> 00:40:56.900
underage girls? Writing on X, Virginia Roberts, Finally, we are
656
00:40:56.940 --> 00:40:59.940
hearing members of the U.S. government, senators, about the need
657
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:04.530
for transparency and a call to arms for accountability. There's
658
00:41:04.570 --> 00:41:06.849
going to be a lot of nervous people over Christmas
659
00:41:07.030 --> 00:41:10.429
and New Year's, 170 to be exact, who's on the
660
00:41:10.449 --> 00:41:13.780
naughty list. This would not be possible without the Honorable
661
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:19.199
Judge Preska. And Virginia's spot on right there. 100% spot on.
662
00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:22.280
Judge Preska has had enough. And I remember when we
663
00:41:22.300 --> 00:41:25.800
were following along, people were doubting if Judge Preska was
664
00:41:25.820 --> 00:41:28.309
going to follow through with this stuff. I told you
665
00:41:28.349 --> 00:41:31.090
then that Judge Preska certainly didn't seem like the type
666
00:41:31.110 --> 00:41:33.789
of lady to be messing around. And here we are.
667
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:38.039
As far as transparency and accountability, well, I'd love to
668
00:41:38.099 --> 00:41:42.219
see it. They're talking about it, but let's do some
669
00:41:42.260 --> 00:41:47.119
walking and a little less talking, no? The individuals who
670
00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:49.079
are set to be named in the documents will have
671
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:52.960
14 days to appeal against the judge's decision, meaning they
672
00:41:52.980 --> 00:41:57.380
could be released in early January. Virginia settled her claim
673
00:41:57.420 --> 00:42:01.280
against Maxwell, but representatives of the media have since argued
674
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:04.239
documents that were sealed as part of the case should
675
00:42:04.260 --> 00:42:06.949
be made public. And again, this is why we're going
676
00:42:06.969 --> 00:42:11.329
through the Virginia deposition right now. That is exactly the
677
00:42:11.369 --> 00:42:14.650
blueprint for everything else that went down. As far as
678
00:42:14.690 --> 00:42:17.469
all of this stuff we're talking about now, the deposition
679
00:42:17.670 --> 00:42:21.269
is the origin of all of it, basically. Judge Preska
680
00:42:21.349 --> 00:42:24.210
ordered that some of the individuals should be named because
681
00:42:24.250 --> 00:42:28.230
they had already given interviews to the media. According to Ms. Schuberg,
682
00:42:28.590 --> 00:42:32.070
she was recruited by Maxwell into Epstein's Web, and she
683
00:42:32.130 --> 00:42:34.710
said that she needed to have three orgasms a day.
684
00:42:35.530 --> 00:42:39.469
The 42-year-old hairdresser, who lives near Palm Beach, Florida, where
685
00:42:39.570 --> 00:42:44.440
Epstein had a now-demolished home, has corroborated key parts of Ms.
686
00:42:44.460 --> 00:42:48.440
Roberts' claims. In depositions, she has described how in March
687
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:51.800
of 2001, when she was 21, she was summoned to
688
00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:55.159
Epstein's New York mansion, where she found that Prince Andrew
689
00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:57.670
was there and a couple of other girls my age,
690
00:42:57.969 --> 00:43:03.050
including Ms. Roberts. Andrew was very charming, she said. She, Maxwell,
691
00:43:03.230 --> 00:43:05.909
came down with a present for him, a latex puppet
692
00:43:05.969 --> 00:43:09.349
of him from Spitting Image. And Spitting Image, for those
693
00:43:09.409 --> 00:43:11.829
of you here in America, is a show that was
694
00:43:11.969 --> 00:43:14.449
on over in the UK, like a puppet show or whatever.
695
00:43:15.090 --> 00:43:19.260
And Ghislaine had the Spitting Image puppet made in Prince
696
00:43:19.389 --> 00:43:22.380
Andrew's likeness. So that was the puppet that he was
697
00:43:22.500 --> 00:43:28.219
using to allegedly assault Johanna with. Ms. Schuberg added that
698
00:43:28.340 --> 00:43:31.210
Andrew had thought the puppet was funny because it was him.
699
00:43:32.090 --> 00:43:34.989
She said in a deposition, I just remember someone suggesting
700
00:43:35.030 --> 00:43:37.750
a photo, and they told us to get on the couch.
701
00:43:38.170 --> 00:43:41.409
And so Virginia and Andrew sat on the couch, and
702
00:43:41.449 --> 00:43:44.170
they put the puppet on her lap. And so I
703
00:43:44.230 --> 00:43:47.030
sat on Andrew's lap, I believe of my own volition,
704
00:43:47.510 --> 00:43:49.730
and they took the puppet hands and put it on
705
00:43:49.769 --> 00:43:53.329
Virginia's breast, and so Andrew put his on mine. So
706
00:43:53.369 --> 00:43:55.510
because some girl sits on your lap, all of a
707
00:43:55.530 --> 00:43:57.690
sudden you can put your hand on her breast? Is
708
00:43:57.710 --> 00:44:00.570
that what Prince Andrew is telling us here? Because his
709
00:44:00.610 --> 00:44:03.739
behavior is telling us that. Meanwhile, back here in the
710
00:44:03.820 --> 00:44:06.480
real world, if you do some shit like that, either A,
711
00:44:06.500 --> 00:44:08.719
you're going to get arrested, or B, you're going to
712
00:44:08.739 --> 00:44:12.079
get your face smashed in by either the girl's boyfriend,
713
00:44:12.539 --> 00:44:15.739
her father, or one of her friends. But Prince Andrew?
714
00:44:16.059 --> 00:44:18.900
No repercussions for him. In fact, he'll just continue to
715
00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:21.460
do whatever he wants to do, whenever he wants to
716
00:44:21.500 --> 00:44:24.780
do it. It was all done in a joking manner,
717
00:44:24.980 --> 00:44:28.110
and everybody laughed, Ms. Schubert said. Ghislaine had a very
718
00:44:28.170 --> 00:44:31.570
dirty sense of humor. Yeah, very dirty everything. Talk about
719
00:44:31.630 --> 00:44:34.369
a dirty bird in general. Has there ever been a
720
00:44:34.429 --> 00:44:38.239
dirtier bird than Ghislaine Maxwell? Her and Lori Vallow were
721
00:44:38.300 --> 00:44:42.639
running neck and neck in the Scafusa Olympics. Andrew stepped
722
00:44:42.659 --> 00:44:45.719
down from public life after the furor over his friendship
723
00:44:45.739 --> 00:44:48.590
with Epstein and paid millions to settle a civil sexual
724
00:44:48.610 --> 00:44:52.610
assault case with Virginia Roberts, a woman he claimed he
725
00:44:52.650 --> 00:44:55.670
had never met. The Duke was cast out of the
726
00:44:55.710 --> 00:45:00.090
working monarchy and no longer uses his HRH style after
727
00:45:00.150 --> 00:45:03.420
Miss Roberts, who was trafficked by Epstein, accused him of
728
00:45:03.460 --> 00:45:07.400
sexually assaulting her when she was 17. In January 2022,
729
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:11.610
ahead of his legal statement, his mother, Queen Elizabeth II,
730
00:45:11.969 --> 00:45:16.070
stripped Andrew of all of his honorary military roles, including
731
00:45:16.110 --> 00:45:19.969
Colonel of the Grenadier Guards. Epstein was found dead in
732
00:45:20.010 --> 00:45:22.650
a cell in at a federal jail in Manhattan in
733
00:45:22.710 --> 00:45:27.110
August of 2019 while he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges.
734
00:45:27.530 --> 00:45:31.050
His death was ruled a suicide. Yeah, I guess so
735
00:45:31.110 --> 00:45:34.269
if you want to believe fairy tales. Maxwell has been
736
00:45:34.309 --> 00:45:38.219
imprisoned since July of 2020 despite numerous attempts from her
737
00:45:38.260 --> 00:45:41.800
defense counsel to have her released on bail. She was
738
00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:44.809
sentenced to 20 years in prison. at the federal court
739
00:45:44.849 --> 00:45:47.550
in the Southern District of New York in June last year.
740
00:45:47.949 --> 00:45:53.070
The socialite, human trafficker, fellow all-around scumbag, bipedal serpent, indicated
741
00:45:53.110 --> 00:45:56.489
her desire to appeal shortly after her conviction, with her
742
00:45:56.530 --> 00:46:01.550
lawyers claiming victims had faded, distorted, and motivated memories. Her
743
00:46:01.610 --> 00:46:04.860
appeal is currently scheduled to be heard in November of
744
00:46:04.940 --> 00:46:08.679
next year. Can you imagine using that as your excuse? Oh,
745
00:46:08.699 --> 00:46:12.280
I need to have an appeal because the witnesses, they misremembered. No,
746
00:46:12.300 --> 00:46:17.139
they didn't misremember. You're a disgusting, vile, skavatsy skafooza who
747
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:21.000
is exactly where they belong. Okay, Ghislaine Maxwell, stop the
748
00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:25.599
hemming and hawing and enjoy your time behind bars. It
749
00:46:25.659 --> 00:46:28.460
comes as legal documents emerged as part of a separate
750
00:46:28.500 --> 00:46:32.360
legal case in London suggested Andrew once invited an alleged
751
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:36.179
fraudster and a convicted gun smuggler to St. James Palace.
752
00:46:36.860 --> 00:46:39.219
The Duke of York, along with the Duchess of York
753
00:46:39.429 --> 00:46:43.699
and their daughters, received about 1.4 million pounds from former
754
00:46:43.820 --> 00:46:48.179
Goldman Sachs banker Selman Turk. Turk, 37, is accused of
755
00:46:48.219 --> 00:46:54.309
stealing 40 million pounds from Turkish millionaires Nebahat Eviap Izbilin,
756
00:46:54.610 --> 00:46:57.030
who hired him to transfer her assets out of Turkey,
757
00:46:57.309 --> 00:47:00.550
where her MP husband is a political prisoner. You mean
758
00:47:00.670 --> 00:47:05.920
occupied Anatolia, right? Not Turkey. The 78-year-old alleged that he
759
00:47:05.980 --> 00:47:10.300
tricked her into making a payment of £ 750, 000 to the Duke,
760
00:47:10.739 --> 00:47:13.719
who he claimed had helped to secure her British passport.
761
00:47:14.199 --> 00:47:17.219
Last month, the Duke and Duchess reached a settlement with
762
00:47:17.300 --> 00:47:21.500
the millionaireess. According to the Telegraph, Andrew was introduced to
763
00:47:21.539 --> 00:47:26.329
Turk in 2019 by Tarak Kutuni, a Libyan gun smuggler.
764
00:47:26.750 --> 00:47:29.489
Prince Andrew has a lot of great friends, huh? Hell
765
00:47:29.530 --> 00:47:32.809
of a guy, this Prince Andrew. I believe the saying goes,
766
00:47:32.849 --> 00:47:36.530
you are the company that you keep, right? and documents
767
00:47:36.570 --> 00:47:39.250
submitted in the closing stages of the case at the
768
00:47:39.289 --> 00:47:43.230
High Court say Prince Andrew allegedly invited Turk and Khatuni
769
00:47:43.510 --> 00:47:48.110
to one of London's oldest palaces, the Telegraph reported. Ms.
770
00:47:48.250 --> 00:47:52.110
Isbelin is suing Turk and various offshore companies. over the
771
00:47:52.139 --> 00:47:55.610
missing money and has also issued contempt proceedings over an
772
00:47:55.650 --> 00:47:58.969
alleged court order breach. It is believed that Duke, Turk,
773
00:47:59.369 --> 00:48:03.190
and Katuni came together for a dinner for potential investors
774
00:48:03.670 --> 00:48:08.210
at Turk's South Kensington house in December of 2019. Then,
775
00:48:08.289 --> 00:48:11.590
two months later, the gun smuggler and alleged fraudster were
776
00:48:11.630 --> 00:48:16.670
photographed together at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor. During the case, Mrs.
777
00:48:16.710 --> 00:48:19.920
Bellen claimed Turk tricked her And she made a payment
778
00:48:20.059 --> 00:48:24.159
of $ 750, 000 to the Duke when she was told he
779
00:48:24.219 --> 00:48:27.750
helped her to secure a passport for her. This was
780
00:48:27.789 --> 00:48:31.010
transferred just over a week after Turk won an award
781
00:48:31.050 --> 00:48:34.550
for a business idea from Pitch Palace, an initiative held
782
00:48:34.630 --> 00:48:37.969
at St. James Palace. Turk told the court the payment
783
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:40.159
was a gift to the Duke for his daughter's wedding
784
00:48:40.539 --> 00:48:43.159
and was unrelated. Oh yeah, I'm sure it was just
785
00:48:43.219 --> 00:48:48.250
a big coincidence. $ 750, 000 as a wedding present. Sounds like
786
00:48:48.349 --> 00:48:52.269
a pretty good friend to me. And furthermore, if anybody
787
00:48:52.349 --> 00:48:56.690
out there listening wants to give me a $ 750, 000 wedding present,
788
00:48:57.090 --> 00:49:00.360
I'm all for it. Prince Andrew repaid the money in
789
00:49:00.409 --> 00:49:04.840
March of 2020 after Miss Isbillin's solicitors wrote to him
790
00:49:04.920 --> 00:49:08.920
about Turk, but he offered no explanation. Further payments to
791
00:49:08.960 --> 00:49:13.099
the Duke and his family were made, totaling £ 350, 000 to
792
00:49:13.099 --> 00:49:19.199
the Duke, £ 225, 000 to the Duchess, and £ 25, 000 to Princess Eugenie.
793
00:49:19.940 --> 00:49:22.400
Eugenie said last year that the money was given to
794
00:49:22.420 --> 00:49:25.579
her by a long-standing family friend to assist with the
795
00:49:25.619 --> 00:49:29.670
cost of a surprise party for her mother. Imagine? Who
796
00:49:29.710 --> 00:49:32.059
believes this shit? And then people want me to go
797
00:49:32.099 --> 00:49:34.420
about my business, right? And say, ah, you know what?
798
00:49:34.460 --> 00:49:37.159
Just a coincidence. No, it's not a coincidence. All of
799
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:40.840
this shit is connected. And people like Prince Andrew continuously
800
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:43.420
get caught with their hand in the cookie jar. While
801
00:49:43.460 --> 00:49:46.059
you or I, well, guess what? You better pay your
802
00:49:46.099 --> 00:49:49.199
fucking taxes. Neither the Duke or the Duchess are accused
803
00:49:49.239 --> 00:49:53.139
of wrongdoing. Of course they're not. Turk denies dishonesty and
804
00:49:53.159 --> 00:49:56.619
misappropriating the money and said Miss Isbelin decided to give
805
00:49:56.679 --> 00:49:59.909
Prince Andrew the money on her own initiative. He denies
806
00:49:59.969 --> 00:50:03.110
all allegations made against him, and a judgment on the
807
00:50:03.150 --> 00:50:07.070
London contempt case is expected in the coming weeks. So,
808
00:50:07.429 --> 00:50:11.750
once again, Prince Andrew finds himself directly in the spotlight,
809
00:50:12.010 --> 00:50:14.829
and not for good reasons. This dude should just pack
810
00:50:14.869 --> 00:50:18.460
it in and move to the furthest flung province that's
811
00:50:18.539 --> 00:50:22.579
still under control of the UK. Because every single time
812
00:50:22.980 --> 00:50:25.659
this guy's name is in the paper, it's another black
813
00:50:25.860 --> 00:50:29.150
eye for the monarchy. And the question is, how long
814
00:50:29.190 --> 00:50:31.820
is the monarchy going to let it go on? Well,
815
00:50:32.050 --> 00:50:35.320
according to their behavior recently, it's going to go on indefinitely.
816
00:50:35.739 --> 00:50:37.679
And the monarchy is just going to accept the fact
817
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:42.519
that Prince Andrew is a disgusting, disturbed degenerate. And not
818
00:50:42.639 --> 00:50:46.429
only are they going to accept it, they're basically asking
819
00:50:46.469 --> 00:50:50.469
you to accept it as well. The question is, will you?
820
00:50:51.829 --> 00:50:53.780
All right, everybody, that's going to do it for this one.
821
00:50:54.199 --> 00:50:56.929
