00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.540
What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
2
00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:08.789
Epstein Chronicles. Now that the Democrats have taken the House
3
00:00:09.289 --> 00:00:12.029
and the Senate, it's time for them to live up
4
00:00:12.070 --> 00:00:15.429
to some of the promises that they made. And one
5
00:00:15.470 --> 00:00:18.210
of the biggest promises that they made was that they
6
00:00:18.250 --> 00:00:22.750
were going to investigate the Epstein criminal empire in a
7
00:00:22.789 --> 00:00:26.949
robust fashion. And according to sources, that's going to start
8
00:00:27.570 --> 00:00:31.550
with them going after the banks. And look, that is
9
00:00:31.589 --> 00:00:35.729
a great place to start. Because as far as I'm concerned,
10
00:00:36.130 --> 00:00:38.409
if you're going to find crime, that's the place to
11
00:00:38.450 --> 00:00:40.289
do it. And that's because there's going to be a
12
00:00:40.310 --> 00:00:44.780
paper trail, right? There's going to be evidence, contemporaneous and otherwise.
13
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.299
And the people that were involved in giving Epstein that money,
14
00:00:49.579 --> 00:00:51.500
the people that were involved in moving it, and the
15
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.439
people that were involved in laundering it, they should all
16
00:00:54.460 --> 00:00:57.640
be held accountable. I know people who have went to
17
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:02.479
prison because for 15, 20 years for wire fraud. You
18
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.060
mean to tell me that none of these people were
19
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.480
engaging in any of that? You mean to tell me
20
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.680
that Epstein didn't manipulate the immigration system? Fuck out of
21
00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:13.239
here with that nonsense. So even if you're one of
22
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.939
these idiots who doesn't believe that there was widespread trafficking,
23
00:01:18.060 --> 00:01:21.500
how can you deny the financial aspect of it? Unless,
24
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.359
of course, you're carrying water for this doomed administration. Then
25
00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:27.359
I could see that, you know, like bitch asses like
26
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:32.219
Dan Bongino. But short of that, I have no idea
27
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:37.299
how anyone could possibly think that there were no crimes
28
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.439
being committed. So today, we have an article from the
29
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:46.230
New York Post and the headline, Dems could grill JP
30
00:01:46.250 --> 00:01:50.090
Morgan on Jeffrey Epstein ties once they take control of Congress.
31
00:01:50.769 --> 00:01:55.489
Committee crows, let's fucking go. So I just want everybody
32
00:01:55.530 --> 00:01:59.959
to understand that I plan on holding them To these promises.
33
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:02.859
This is what they said they're going to do, and
34
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.180
they damn well better. Or else they're going to be
35
00:02:05.219 --> 00:02:08.180
in for the same treatment that the Trump administration's getting.
36
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.219
I have no time for bullshit, and the time for
37
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:16.719
political games with this topic has long ago passed. Now
38
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:21.180
it's time for accountability. Now it's time for full transparency.
39
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.340
And anybody getting in the way of that is on
40
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:31.310
the clock. This article was authored by Taylor Herzlick. Democrats
41
00:02:31.370 --> 00:02:35.530
are reportedly preparing to investigate J.P. Morgan's banking relationship with
42
00:02:35.569 --> 00:02:39.590
late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and are considering
43
00:02:39.669 --> 00:02:43.590
hauling execs at other Wall Street giants before Congress once
44
00:02:43.629 --> 00:02:47.960
they take control in January. Do it. Don't just talk
45
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:52.319
about it. Do it. All that nonsense about how they're
46
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.199
going to regulate, about how they're going after the richest
47
00:02:55.219 --> 00:02:57.810
people in the world. about they're going to hold people accountable.
48
00:02:58.469 --> 00:03:02.889
This is your chance. These people have been served up
49
00:03:02.969 --> 00:03:06.770
on a platter at this point. The question is, will
50
00:03:06.810 --> 00:03:09.349
these Democrats that have been elected do what they say
51
00:03:09.389 --> 00:03:11.389
they're going to do, or are they going to pull
52
00:03:11.409 --> 00:03:15.770
the rug out from under us? The Senate Finance Committee,
53
00:03:16.550 --> 00:03:19.789
Democrats are planning to scrutinize how executives at the nation's
54
00:03:19.830 --> 00:03:23.469
largest bank handled Epstein, who was a major client of
55
00:03:23.509 --> 00:03:27.599
the bank, For about 15 years, CNBC reported on Thursday,
56
00:03:28.099 --> 00:03:30.789
citing anonymous sources, and JP Morgan has no one to
57
00:03:30.810 --> 00:03:33.689
blame but themselves. They knew what Epstein was. They knew
58
00:03:33.710 --> 00:03:36.009
what he was doing. And they kept doing business with him.
59
00:03:36.430 --> 00:03:39.330
And it wasn't just Epstein. It was everybody in his network.
60
00:03:40.310 --> 00:03:43.990
We're talking about the girls. We're talking about Ghislaine. Everybody
61
00:03:44.030 --> 00:03:48.360
had accounts. And all those accounts were receiving ill-gotten gains.
62
00:03:48.979 --> 00:03:51.240
So tell me how this is not Rico. Oh, that's right.
63
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.300
You can tell me it's not Rico because it most
64
00:03:53.340 --> 00:04:00.110
certainly is. Epstein died by suicide in a Manhattan jail
65
00:04:00.150 --> 00:04:04.250
cell in 2019, weeks after being charged with human trafficking.
66
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.740
He also pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor
67
Load full transcript
00:04:09.219 --> 00:04:13.520
in 2008, five years before J.P. Morgan finally dropped him.
68
00:04:15.379 --> 00:04:18.879
That whole entire comment, that whole entire statement is fucking disgusting.
69
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.420
Can somebody explain to me how a child can be
70
00:04:22.459 --> 00:04:27.810
considered a prostitute? There is no such scenario anywhere. That
71
00:04:27.860 --> 00:04:32.319
has ever been presented to anyone. In history. Where that's acceptable.
72
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:35.139
But yet we hear it all the time. Oh he
73
00:04:35.180 --> 00:04:39.079
was nailed for child prostitution. No. He was nailed. For
74
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:43.470
having sex with children. Preying upon children. Being a child molester.
75
00:04:44.209 --> 00:04:47.069
That's what he was nailed for. And the whole entire
76
00:04:47.129 --> 00:04:49.569
reason that he was given that deal. Was so that
77
00:04:49.610 --> 00:04:52.629
people later on down the road. Meaning now. Could say
78
00:04:52.709 --> 00:04:55.199
oh look it wasn't that bad. Come on you guys.
79
00:04:55.990 --> 00:04:57.870
This is all blown out of proportion, and that's all
80
00:04:57.910 --> 00:05:00.009
part of the cover story. And the fact that people
81
00:05:00.050 --> 00:05:03.209
can't see that is wild to me, because it's not
82
00:05:03.250 --> 00:05:07.980
that difficult to untangle. Senior congressional Dems have reportedly been
83
00:05:08.019 --> 00:05:12.800
studying a lefty think tank's 181-page dossier penned by former
84
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:17.850
staffers of Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Bernie Sanders
85
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:22.829
of Vermont. The document from the Groundwork Collaborative argues Democrats
86
00:05:22.850 --> 00:05:26.370
should focus on a broader swath of investigations than ones
87
00:05:26.449 --> 00:05:30.980
aired in the news to date, according to the Washington Sun. Yo, look,
88
00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:33.379
I can't disagree with that. How long have I been
89
00:05:33.420 --> 00:05:37.399
saying that there needs to be a deep, deep investigation?
90
00:05:38.540 --> 00:05:42.759
I'm talking robust. That goes into everything. Everything that has
91
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.779
to do with Epstein, and not just this administration, by
92
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.660
the way, going all the way back, because the failure
93
00:05:48.699 --> 00:05:50.560
runs deep, and we need to get to the very
94
00:05:50.610 --> 00:05:53.829
beginning and work forward from there. And everybody that's been
95
00:05:53.889 --> 00:05:57.470
involved from the beginning... needs to be called before a
96
00:05:57.490 --> 00:06:02.389
special counsel and answer some real questions. Instead of targeting
97
00:06:02.449 --> 00:06:05.410
President Trump's gift of a jet from Qatar reflecting pool
98
00:06:05.430 --> 00:06:09.189
renovation or a White House ballroom construction, Dems should question
99
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:13.779
executives for healthcare, tech, energy, and Wall Street sectors about
100
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.220
the current cost of living crisis, the document argued. Well,
101
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:20.829
that would be smart. This can't look like some kind
102
00:06:20.870 --> 00:06:24.350
of witch hunt. It can't look like we're getting political retribution.
103
00:06:24.850 --> 00:06:26.629
That's not the way to govern. And I hope the
104
00:06:26.670 --> 00:06:29.930
Democrats don't do that. I've told you that previously. I
105
00:06:29.970 --> 00:06:34.100
want them to be targeted. If there is criminality, if
106
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.060
there is corruption, go after it. But don't just do
107
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:42.100
shit and blow political capital on dumb nonsense, especially when
108
00:06:42.139 --> 00:06:45.449
it comes to executive orders, because the next president is
109
00:06:45.490 --> 00:06:47.629
just going to write those away. They don't mean shit.
110
00:06:48.379 --> 00:06:51.300
What exactly is Trump codified? That's what we should be
111
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:55.560
talking about. Because things that have been codified, that's the
112
00:06:55.579 --> 00:06:59.920
stuff with staying power. But Trump, this guy has pretty
113
00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:03.649
much governed by Penn. So everything that he's done pretty
114
00:07:03.689 --> 00:07:06.829
much can just be waved away. But in my opinion,
115
00:07:06.889 --> 00:07:09.069
I think it's obvious that there's a cover-up going on
116
00:07:09.509 --> 00:07:11.829
when it comes to the Epstein files. And I think
117
00:07:11.870 --> 00:07:14.949
that's a great entry point for the rest of the
118
00:07:14.970 --> 00:07:20.819
corruption that's obviously happening. Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat
119
00:07:20.899 --> 00:07:24.319
who's married to the owner of NYC's Strand Bookstore, is
120
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.660
currently the ranking member of the Finance Committee and could
121
00:07:27.699 --> 00:07:31.889
take the chairman position in January. On Tuesday, as Democrats
122
00:07:31.930 --> 00:07:35.029
around the country flipped the congressional seats, Wyden shared a
123
00:07:35.050 --> 00:07:42.410
suggestive one-word remark on ex-subpoenas. Democratic members of the Finance Committee,
124
00:07:42.629 --> 00:07:46.579
who have their own account, replied, let's fucking go. And look,
125
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.829
let's fucking go. I've already told you a million times.
126
00:07:50.709 --> 00:07:53.189
I don't trust any of these politicians. But that doesn't
127
00:07:53.230 --> 00:07:54.949
mean I'm not willing to use them to get where
128
00:07:54.970 --> 00:07:57.560
we're trying to go. Because if you think they're not
129
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.839
trying to use this topic for their own gain, you're crazy.
130
00:08:01.259 --> 00:08:03.579
So that door swings both ways. And if they want
131
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.959
to win my trust, they have
to do everything they
132
00:08:06.019 --> 00:08:11.410
say when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. In the Epstein case,
133
00:08:11.470 --> 00:08:15.550
Democrats are planning to target decisions made by Mary Callahan Erdos,
134
00:08:15.850 --> 00:08:19.860
the chief executive of J.P. Morgan's, Wealth Management Division, according
135
00:08:19.899 --> 00:08:23.860
to CNBC. Erdos has testified that she was aware as
136
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:27.420
early as 2006 that Epstein was accused of paying for
137
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.319
underage girls to be brought to his home. She didn't
138
00:08:30.339 --> 00:08:34.909
cut off ties with Epstein as a client until 2013.
139
00:08:34.909 --> 00:08:37.730
She's another one. Remember the emails that they were sending
140
00:08:37.769 --> 00:08:40.649
back and forth at JP Morgan about Jeffrey Epstein and
141
00:08:40.690 --> 00:08:43.450
what he was? So they have no leg to stand on.
142
00:08:44.700 --> 00:08:47.179
And they've already been outed in the lawsuit with the USVI.
143
00:08:47.860 --> 00:08:51.000
So Congress has a ton of documents to work with already.
144
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:55.120
And if they start firing off subpoenas and bringing people in,
145
00:08:56.340 --> 00:09:01.179
that mountain's going to grow. The U.S. government had damning
146
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.340
information about Epstein's crimes that it failed to share with
147
00:09:04.460 --> 00:09:08.340
us or other banks. A J.P. Morgan spokesperson told the Post,
148
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:12.519
that's true too. Both can be true at the same time, right?
149
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:16.120
They were all working in coordination. The bank knew that
150
00:09:16.139 --> 00:09:18.710
the government wasn't going to poke around So they were
151
00:09:18.730 --> 00:09:21.529
willing to work with Epstein. And when I tell you
152
00:09:21.549 --> 00:09:23.990
that Epstein wasn't working alone or that he couldn't be
153
00:09:24.029 --> 00:09:27.090
working alone, this is what I mean. There were people
154
00:09:27.129 --> 00:09:29.730
in the government that were helping him. Now, I'm not
155
00:09:29.750 --> 00:09:31.909
going to sit here and tell you that the CIA
156
00:09:31.950 --> 00:09:34.350
had a meeting and they brought everybody in and they
157
00:09:34.370 --> 00:09:36.590
were like, OK, here's what we're going to do. We're
158
00:09:36.610 --> 00:09:39.629
going to create Jeffrey Epstein. This shit was a black op.
159
00:09:40.370 --> 00:09:43.210
It was run off the books, just like Iran Contra.
160
00:09:44.230 --> 00:09:46.980
Same kind of shit. And that's what the CIA does.
161
00:09:47.299 --> 00:09:51.000
They compartmentalize. The right hand never knows what the left
162
00:09:51.019 --> 00:09:53.909
hand's doing until they need to know. And the banks
163
00:09:53.950 --> 00:09:56.690
were aware of this, whether they were told or not.
164
00:09:57.529 --> 00:09:59.570
And that's why they were willing to play ball with
Epstein.
165
00:09:59.970 --> 00:10:01.940
because they thought they would never have to answer for it.
166
00:10:03.210 --> 00:10:06.029
We regret any association we had with him, but we
167
00:10:06.049 --> 00:10:11.080
did not help him commit his crimes. In 2023, J.P. Morgan, CEO,
168
00:10:11.299 --> 00:10:15.159
Jamie Dimon, testified that Erdos had the authority to drop Epstein.
169
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:19.600
Jess Staley, the ex-J.P. Morgan executive, who admitted to having
170
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.370
sex with an Epstein staffer, you mean girl that he
171
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.350
was abusing, right? You mean a girl that was being trafficked, right?
172
00:10:26.929 --> 00:10:31.090
That's what you mean? Also testified that Erdos had full
173
00:10:31.129 --> 00:10:34.190
authority to remove Epstein as a client earlier, but failed
174
00:10:34.230 --> 00:10:38.669
to do so. Just six months after Epstein's 2008 guilty plea,
175
00:10:39.289 --> 00:10:42.309
Erdos reportedly turned to Epstein for help as the Bernie
176
00:10:42.330 --> 00:10:46.500
Madoff Ponzi scheme wreaked havoc for the firm's clients. According
177
00:10:46.539 --> 00:10:49.629
to court documents filed, by the U.S. Virgin Islands in
178
00:10:49.649 --> 00:10:54.980
a 2023 lawsuit against J.P. Morgan. Erdos emailed Staley and
179
00:10:55.009 --> 00:10:57.480
asked him to call Epstein, the doc said. Well, that's
180
00:10:57.580 --> 00:11:02.559
Epstein's role. Epstein was the king of finding money. Let's
181
00:11:02.580 --> 00:11:05.679
not forget what he was used for. And let's not
182
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:11.500
forget where he came from. Mimi Liu, co-lead counsel for
183
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.820
the U.S. Virgin Islands in the case, told a federal
184
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:17.679
judge in 2023 that J.P. Morgan was a full-service bank
185
00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:22.340
for Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking, arguing the institution waited to
186
00:11:22.379 --> 00:11:26.240
notify the government of his suspicious transactions until after he
187
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.440
killed himself. You mean until after he died. This was
188
00:11:30.460 --> 00:11:34.450
a CYA reporting after 16 years of all the monies
189
00:11:34.470 --> 00:11:37.210
flowing in his JP Morgan accounts after he was dead,
190
00:11:37.490 --> 00:11:40.590
Liu added. That's a fact. And that's something they should
191
00:11:40.610 --> 00:11:43.009
be held accountable for. They should have been filing those
192
00:11:43.049 --> 00:11:48.470
SARs as they were coming in. JP Morgan paid $ 75
193
00:11:47.830 --> 00:11:50.870
million to settle the lawsuit brought by the U.S. Virgin Islands,
194
00:11:51.289 --> 00:11:54.529
which alleged the bank benefited from the sex trafficking of
195
00:11:54.620 --> 00:11:58.840
Epstein's victims. The bank also agreed to a $ 290 million
196
00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:03.379
settlement with Epstein's victims. It did not admit wrongdoing in
197
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.860
the settlements. Boy, that's quite the hoax, huh? These women
198
00:12:07.899 --> 00:12:12.539
must have mind control over people. Like in Friday, I
199
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:16.169
got mind control over the banks. When they hear, I'm quiet,
200
00:12:16.450 --> 00:12:19.889
but when they leave, I'll be talking again. I mean, really?
201
00:12:19.909 --> 00:12:24.429
A hoax? So stupid. The banks don't pay out this
202
00:12:24.450 --> 00:12:29.129
kind of money if it's a hoax, okay? The bank
203
00:12:29.909 --> 00:12:33.779
has blamed Staley, who left J.P. Morgan in 2013 and
204
00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:39.480
later became CEO of Barclays before stepping down in 2021
205
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.080
for failing to report criminal activity related to Jeffrey Epstein.
206
00:12:44.210 --> 00:12:48.649
Staley is denied being aware of Epstein's crimes. In 2025,
207
00:12:48.649 --> 00:12:51.909
he testified in London court that Epstein knew more about
208
00:12:51.950 --> 00:12:54.509
what was going on at the top levels of the
209
00:12:54.549 --> 00:12:57.230
bank than he did, saying the sex criminal had a
210
00:12:57.289 --> 00:13:00.889
remarkable ability to gather Wall Street intel. Well, yeah, when
211
00:13:00.909 --> 00:13:04.539
he has everybody on the fucking payroll, when he's giving
212
00:13:04.580 --> 00:13:08.889
everybody information, when he's blackmailing people, not that difficult, is it?
213
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:14.019
After grilling Staley during a closed-door interview in July, House
214
00:13:14.100 --> 00:13:18.259
Oversight Committee James Comer said Staley defended Epstein and encouraged
215
00:13:18.299 --> 00:13:21.259
JP Morgan to keep him on as a client despite
216
00:13:21.299 --> 00:13:25.559
red flags. In August, Wyden, the possible new finance chair,
217
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.279
accused executives at multiple banks of looking the other way
218
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:33.919
and shielding Epstein during his years of sex trafficking. The
219
00:13:33.950 --> 00:13:38.610
Department of Justice has been releasing Epstein files since late 2025,
220
00:13:38.610 --> 00:13:42.049
hundreds of thousands of pages showing the sex criminal's communication
221
00:13:42.429 --> 00:13:48.379
with powerful politicians, celebrities, and financiers. The trove of documents
222
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.860
also includes previously unseen photos of Epstein with A-listers and
223
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:59.139
high-profile figures, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, former
224
00:13:59.179 --> 00:14:03.279
President Bill Clinton, and President Trump. So look, this is
225
00:14:03.330 --> 00:14:06.029
the way to go. And if they're going to have investigations,
226
00:14:06.389 --> 00:14:09.029
and they're going to have committees, they should start here.
227
00:14:09.590 --> 00:14:13.110
Especially after talking such a big game about the financial
228
00:14:13.149 --> 00:14:18.019
sector and their enabling of Epstein. So, this is just
229
00:14:18.059 --> 00:14:21.379
heating up, folks, and this story, obviously, is not going
230
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:25.120
away anytime soon. And now that the ball is in
231
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:28.730
the Democrats' court, the question is, what are they going
232
00:14:28.750 --> 00:14:31.129
to do with it? All the information that goes with
233
00:14:31.190 --> 00:14:34.110
this episode can be found in the description box.
