00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:05.740
I've always wondered how Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell came
2
00:00:05.780 --> 00:00:10.460
to be. How was their relationship fostered? Who introduced them?
3
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.619
Was it on purpose? One thing I can tell you,
4
00:00:14.660 --> 00:00:17.929
in my opinion, is that there was never any love
5
00:00:18.510 --> 00:00:22.949
in this quote unquote relationship. I've always thought that it
6
00:00:22.989 --> 00:00:26.820
was a business arrangement. from the sources that I've spoke with,
7
00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:30.539
from the information that I've seen, I have never seen
8
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:34.039
anything that would point me to them being in love
9
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:40.490
with each other. In fact, all signs point to this
10
00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:47.530
being a business relationship. Today, Forbes has an article out
11
00:00:47.969 --> 00:00:52.659
talking about how Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly met Jeffrey Epstein through
12
00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:56.189
her pops. And now we've talked about this previously. The
13
00:00:56.329 --> 00:00:59.409
Sun had an article out talking about how Robert Maxwell
14
00:00:59.469 --> 00:01:05.209
supposedly bankrolled Jeffrey Epstein. And I've thought that for a
15
00:01:05.230 --> 00:01:07.659
very long time, right? I've said that for quite some
16
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.519
time here, that it wasn't only Les Wexner giving Jeffrey
17
00:01:11.579 --> 00:01:15.260
Epstein money. That's absurd to think that that would be
18
00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:21.040
the only person that was bankrolling this. This was a vast,
19
00:01:21.459 --> 00:01:25.829
vast sale. of people who had one goal in mind,
20
00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:32.870
setting up this blackmail operation. And in my opinion, Robert
21
00:01:32.930 --> 00:01:36.950
Maxwell laid the groundwork for it all to start before
22
00:01:37.269 --> 00:01:40.290
he died. I think that Robert Maxwell played a huge
23
00:01:40.349 --> 00:01:42.700
role in getting this off the ground. And I think
24
00:01:42.739 --> 00:01:46.280
he was a key component in bringing Jeffrey Epstein and
25
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:50.760
Ghislaine Maxwell together. I've said that for quite some time,
26
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:53.390
and I still believe that. I have seen nothing that
27
00:01:53.409 --> 00:01:57.049
would change my mind and point me in the direction
28
00:01:57.090 --> 00:02:01.269
that Jeffrey Epstein was in love with Ghislaine Maxwell. I'm sorry,
29
00:02:01.930 --> 00:02:06.079
but that just does not smell like a good meal
30
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:10.080
for me. All right, so let's jump in here and
31
00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:13.860
see what Forbes has to say about it all. Headline,
32
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:19.870
Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly met Jeffrey Epstein through her disgraced father. Author,
33
00:02:20.270 --> 00:02:26.590
Lisette Voitko. Top line. Ghislaine Maxwell, alleged recruiter of Jeffrey
34
00:02:26.669 --> 00:02:31.770
Epstein's sex ring of underage girls, co-conspirator, fellow child abuser,
35
00:02:32.129 --> 00:02:36.250
general all-around scumbag, is awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges
36
00:02:36.490 --> 00:02:41.569
and reportedly met the now-dead financier, pedophile, through her father,
37
00:02:41.909 --> 00:02:46.310
the tabloid colossus Robert Maxwell, according to a new podcast
38
00:02:46.449 --> 00:02:50.180
on Epstein's dark web of abuse. And he might have
39
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.169
been one early source of Epstein's wealth, catapulted him into
40
00:02:54.210 --> 00:02:59.219
the upper echelon of society. Yeah, it's rather obvious that
41
00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:03.780
Robert Maxwell had his pocketbook open for Jeffrey Epstein. If
42
00:03:03.819 --> 00:03:06.560
they were thinking about this blackmail ring, if they had
43
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:10.689
this plan in place, the blueprint of it, well, all
44
00:03:10.750 --> 00:03:15.530
they needed were the players on the stage. And Jeffrey
45
00:03:15.610 --> 00:03:20.780
Epstein was the perfect candidate. He already had disgusting proclivities
46
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:25.949
that were well-known. and they knew that he was malleable
47
00:03:26.909 --> 00:03:29.310
enough money here enough money there he can be steered
48
00:03:29.330 --> 00:03:34.060
in the right direction and then for the kicker you
49
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.680
bring in Ghislaine Maxwell to make sure that everything runs
50
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:47.979
smoothly see how it all comes together here folks Key facts.
51
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.840
According to the latest episode of Broken Seeking Justice podcast,
52
00:03:52.219 --> 00:03:56.759
Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell met as early as 1988 through
53
00:03:56.810 --> 00:04:01.189
her father, said convicted Ponzi schemer Steve Hoffenberg, who once
54
00:04:01.250 --> 00:04:04.650
worked with Epstein, who also claims for the first time
55
00:04:04.949 --> 00:04:09.370
that Epstein and Robert Maxwell had business dealings together, although
56
00:04:09.409 --> 00:04:13.780
the podcast could not corroborate this. Well, there's a lot
57
00:04:14.129 --> 00:04:18.199
of talk about it, right? There's a lot of whispering
58
00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:22.720
a lot of things being said about Robert Maxwell and
59
00:04:22.819 --> 00:04:25.540
his role in getting all of this off the ground.
60
00:04:25.980 --> 00:04:28.339
And I think we'll hear more of that as the
61
00:04:28.420 --> 00:04:32.709
trial gets closer. And if more people obviously are indicted,
62
00:04:33.850 --> 00:04:37.730
they will have a song to sing. Now, I'm not
63
00:04:37.769 --> 00:04:40.990
too sure if we're ever going to really be able
64
00:04:41.050 --> 00:04:44.250
to pinpoint the origins of this or if we'll just
65
00:04:44.290 --> 00:04:48.730
be left to speculate. As of now, though, In my opinion,
66
00:04:49.850 --> 00:04:53.029
Robert Maxwell played a huge role at the beginning, folks,
67
00:04:53.089 --> 00:04:55.939
at the beginning of setting this all in motion and
68
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.939
making sure that somebody that he could trust, a confidant,
69
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:06.160
somebody that he knew understood what the goal was, was involved.
70
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:12.480
And that somebody was his daughter, Ghislaine Maxwell. Two additional
71
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.360
sources backed up the claim that Robert Maxwell was the
72
00:05:15.420 --> 00:05:19.689
person who brought his prized daughter together with Epstein, including
73
00:05:19.750 --> 00:05:23.290
a former Epstein staffer who was told by Ghislaine Maxwell
74
00:05:23.410 --> 00:05:25.610
while she forced them to look at eight albums worth
75
00:05:25.670 --> 00:05:31.060
of photos from her father's funeral. Look, it's very obvious
76
00:05:31.250 --> 00:05:36.519
to me anyway, that Ghislaine Maxwell learned her craft at
77
00:05:36.579 --> 00:05:40.370
her father's side on the knee of her father. While
78
00:05:40.410 --> 00:05:42.389
you and I were growing up and our fathers were
79
00:05:42.410 --> 00:05:45.750
teaching us life lessons about, you know, whatever it may be,
80
00:05:46.189 --> 00:05:49.769
Ghislaine's father was teaching her how to manipulate, how to scam,
81
00:05:50.069 --> 00:05:53.759
how to cheat, and how to plot. And those are
82
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:58.740
lessons that daddy's little girl obviously took to her black heart.
83
00:06:02.699 --> 00:06:05.879
Ghislaine Maxwell told the staffer that Epstein was someone who
84
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.889
could take care of her emotionally. and was firm that
85
00:06:08.910 --> 00:06:11.600
his finances weren't the source of her interest, according to
86
00:06:11.629 --> 00:06:15.420
the podcast, which aligns with reports that the pair dated
87
00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:19.040
at one point and remained friends. See, there's my contention there.
88
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.639
They might have dated as a cover, but there was
89
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.779
no love there, in my opinion. And again, it wasn't
90
00:06:24.819 --> 00:06:27.819
about the money, like some people have stated, because even
91
00:06:27.860 --> 00:06:31.579
though Maxwell was disgraced, even though Maxwell lost a bunch
92
00:06:31.620 --> 00:06:34.100
of money, do you really think that the Maxwell family
93
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:37.160
didn't have money squirreled away? Do you think that they
94
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:42.300
were left with just nothing? I highly doubt that, folks.
95
00:06:43.740 --> 00:06:50.949
And I know that Ghislaine Maxwell had many, many different options,
96
00:06:51.170 --> 00:06:54.620
many different ways she could have went. But she ended
97
00:06:54.740 --> 00:07:00.360
up with Jeffrey Epstein. She ended up in that sphere.
98
00:07:01.259 --> 00:07:07.110
And when all of the information has come out and
99
00:07:07.189 --> 00:07:11.310
when we have the benefit of hindsight, we see that
100
00:07:11.350 --> 00:07:15.670
not only did she end up running around with Jeffrey
101
00:07:15.769 --> 00:07:20.069
Epstein as some lover or a victim as some people
102
00:07:20.670 --> 00:07:23.920
would like to paint her. We see the true face,
103
00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:28.399
and that face is Ghislaine Maxwell had a leadership role
104
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.800
here and was a key component in getting this off
105
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:39.019
of the ground. Robert Maxwell might have been a source
106
00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:42.879
of Epstein's wealth, according to the podcast, citing a 2010
107
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:48.689
deposition from bookkeeper Maritza Vasquez in a Florida civil lawsuit
108
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.949
in which she says Maxwell started Epstein's money. a claim
109
00:07:53.250 --> 00:07:57.509
only previously reported by tabloid The Sun through an anonymous source.
110
00:07:57.850 --> 00:08:00.740
And it's funny that they mention, oh, The Sun's a tabloid. Well,
111
00:08:00.750 --> 00:08:02.920
they might be a tabloid, and they might talk about
112
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:06.060
some wild shit in other areas, but they've done a
113
00:08:06.100 --> 00:08:10.860
good job in this Jeffrey Epstein case. And it shows
114
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.519
you just how much of a dumpster fire the legacy
115
00:08:13.579 --> 00:08:17.300
media is. They're getting scooped on the Epstein case by
116
00:08:17.339 --> 00:08:21.459
The Sun. Imagine that. Imagine having all the resources of
117
00:08:21.740 --> 00:08:25.639
the BBC or CNN or one of these other garbage outlets,
118
00:08:26.259 --> 00:08:33.629
and you get scooped by the sun. Vasquez also said
119
00:08:33.649 --> 00:08:36.730
in the deposition that Epstein had a relationship with a woman,
120
00:08:36.990 --> 00:08:39.769
that her father was very wealthy, and that's how he
121
00:08:39.809 --> 00:08:43.840
started his own money. Of course it is. Golly. Look,
122
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:49.070
so Ghislaine Maxwell was set up with Jeffrey Epstein through
123
00:08:49.110 --> 00:08:53.570
the intelligence version of Match.com, right? And then she was
124
00:08:53.750 --> 00:08:57.789
launched into his orbit, was told that she had some
125
00:08:57.889 --> 00:09:01.649
funds that were at her discretion, and her and Jeffrey
126
00:09:01.730 --> 00:09:05.570
Epstein started laying the groundwork for this criminal enterprise. All
127
00:09:05.610 --> 00:09:10.220
bankrolled on the back of Robert Maxwell and whatever intelligence
128
00:09:10.259 --> 00:09:13.500
handlers had their palms on him at the time. My
129
00:09:13.539 --> 00:09:19.269
guess is the CIA. Lawyers for Maxwell did not respond
130
00:09:19.289 --> 00:09:21.730
to a request by Forbes to confirm how she met
131
00:09:21.850 --> 00:09:26.330
Epstein or if Robert Maxwell was a source of Epstein's wealth. Yeah,
132
00:09:26.370 --> 00:09:27.940
she's not going to, you know, why would she talk
133
00:09:27.980 --> 00:09:30.960
about that right now? That would be stupid. So if
134
00:09:31.019 --> 00:09:34.220
anyone thinks we're going to get any context from Ghislaine
135
00:09:34.259 --> 00:09:37.240
Maxwell or that she's going to add anything for us,
136
00:09:37.259 --> 00:09:41.610
you're going to be waiting for quite some time. Critical quote.
137
00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:45.340
In addition to these accounts, there's also a photo snapped
138
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:49.409
a mere 19 days after Robert Maxwell's death that intimately
139
00:09:49.490 --> 00:09:53.289
links Epstein and Ghislaine. Shot at the Plaza Hotel during
140
00:09:53.330 --> 00:09:56.750
a memorial event for Robert Maxwell, the picture shows Ghislaine
141
00:09:56.809 --> 00:10:01.620
and Epstein in conversation. Reporter M. Saul says in the episode,
142
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:12.940
It doesn't look like a first date. That's because it's
143
00:10:13.019 --> 00:10:15.639
not a first date. See, I'm really glad that this
144
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:20.019
broken podcast has come out and somebody with resources who
145
00:10:20.419 --> 00:10:25.480
is honorable like Tara Palmieri is involved because she's going
146
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.399
to get to the bottom of this kind of stuff, right?
147
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.940
She's not going to just sit by and let this
148
00:10:29.980 --> 00:10:32.919
shit slide. She sees it all. Everybody sees it all.
149
00:10:34.220 --> 00:10:36.840
The problem is the legacy media doesn't have the courage
150
00:10:36.899 --> 00:10:40.500
to run it because they're still scared of these people.
151
00:10:41.350 --> 00:10:44.409
And in some cases, some of their faves are caught
152
00:10:44.490 --> 00:10:47.549
up in it. But the fact that Ghislaine Maxwell and
153
00:10:47.590 --> 00:10:54.139
Jeffrey Epstein, the origin story is this love affair that
154
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.379
blossomed and then they grew apart, it's such bullshit in
155
00:10:57.419 --> 00:11:02.340
my opinion, okay? This was and always has been a clinical,
156
00:11:02.940 --> 00:11:12.690
surgically precise operation. Big number. $ 590 million. That's how much
157
00:11:12.730 --> 00:11:15.690
of pension funds stolen by Robert Maxwell from his mirror
158
00:11:15.730 --> 00:11:20.389
group publishing company went missing after his mysterious 1991 death.
159
00:11:20.909 --> 00:11:24.730
A presumed drowning after falling from his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine,
160
00:11:25.190 --> 00:11:29.629
into the sea off the Canary Islands. Just happens to
161
00:11:29.649 --> 00:11:33.120
be that he died on the boat, huh? Another person
162
00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:37.460
who just happened to commit suicide around Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell,
163
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.779
and the rest of these scoundrels. They really think we're
164
00:11:39.820 --> 00:11:44.100
that stupid. Now, I don't have any evidence that Robert
165
00:11:44.139 --> 00:11:48.080
Maxwell didn't commit suicide. But when you look at all
166
00:11:48.100 --> 00:11:51.570
of the evidence that's lined up and you look. at
167
00:11:51.610 --> 00:11:55.309
the players on the stage, do you really think that
168
00:11:55.370 --> 00:11:58.409
it's beyond any of these people to clip somebody like
169
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.559
Maxwell out at sea if they think he's going to
170
00:12:01.700 --> 00:12:05.840
rat on them or expose a plan or if he
171
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:10.700
has outlived his usefulness? That's what these people do. Intelligence
172
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:19.990
agencies burn assets all of the time, folks. The podcast
173
00:12:20.049 --> 00:12:22.929
raises questions about where his money got off to after
174
00:12:22.950 --> 00:12:26.320
he died, since it's never been recovered. At the time
175
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.820
of his August 2019 death by suicide, Epstein's assets totaled
176
00:12:31.820 --> 00:12:36.330
$ 578 million. And Ghislaine Maxwell had $ 20 million to her
177
00:12:36.389 --> 00:12:40.549
name at the time of her July arrest, according to prosecutors.
178
00:12:41.269 --> 00:12:44.919
So remember what Epstein told everybody, right? He was a
179
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.440
forensic accountant, basically, who worked for the government, who went
180
00:12:48.460 --> 00:12:53.200
and recovered money for the United States government. We know
181
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:58.750
that he was a prolific, prolific money launderer. And we
182
00:12:58.779 --> 00:13:02.049
know that he had many, many front companies where he
183
00:13:02.090 --> 00:13:05.990
could stash this money. Now, Robert Maxwell's money still has
184
00:13:06.029 --> 00:13:10.289
never been found. You mean to tell me that it's
185
00:13:10.470 --> 00:13:14.580
out of the realm of possibility? That Jeffrey Epstein somehow
186
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:18.950
took control of that $ 590 million and did Lord only
187
00:13:18.990 --> 00:13:21.539
knows what with it? Not out of the realm of
188
00:13:21.570 --> 00:13:24.929
possibility in my book, especially considering that none of that
189
00:13:24.970 --> 00:13:26.909
money was in the bank. None of that money was
190
00:13:27.070 --> 00:13:32.230
anywhere where the government could seize it. And now remember, folks,
191
00:13:32.250 --> 00:13:34.610
we're not dealing with average people here. We're dealing with
192
00:13:34.669 --> 00:13:39.129
people who are locked into the world of spycraft and intrigue.
193
00:13:40.009 --> 00:13:43.269
And guys like Robert Maxwell, for as repugnant as they are,
194
00:13:43.889 --> 00:13:46.740
they know their shit. And if you think for a
195
00:13:46.779 --> 00:13:50.080
minute that Robert Maxwell went to his grave leaving none
196
00:13:50.100 --> 00:13:54.679
of that money around for the operation or for his kids, well,
197
00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:00.980
you're being very naive. The new episode, Broken, Seeking Justice,
198
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.179
seeks to unravel the tangled mystery surrounding Ghislaine Maxwell, who's
199
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:10.039
often been referred to as Epstein's alleged madam. Maria Farmer,
200
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:13.600
an alleged Epstein survivor, told the podcast she would drive
201
00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:17.259
around Manhattan's Central Park with Maxwell in the 90s scouting
202
00:14:17.299 --> 00:14:21.100
for models. Maxwell, Farmer said, would jump out of the
203
00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:25.259
car and invite girls back to Epstein's sprawling mansion to audition.
204
00:14:26.340 --> 00:14:28.960
And we've heard from Maria about all of this stuff
205
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:32.720
and how she used to call them nubiles and how
206
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:35.990
mean she was and the sort of character that she possessed.
207
00:14:36.450 --> 00:14:42.799
This is a woman... who was obviously, obviously reared in
208
00:14:42.850 --> 00:14:52.029
a world of intrigue. Farmer, who worked the front desk
209
00:14:52.090 --> 00:14:54.549
at the mansion, would sometimes see those girls come in
210
00:14:54.909 --> 00:14:56.950
and told the podcast she witnessed a couple of the
211
00:14:56.970 --> 00:15:01.450
girls crying as they left. In a November 2019 civil
212
00:15:01.490 --> 00:15:06.019
lawsuit against Epstein's estate, Farmer claims Epstein and Maxwell assaulted
213
00:15:06.059 --> 00:15:09.840
her at his New Mexico ranch in 1996 and describes
214
00:15:09.899 --> 00:15:14.039
the grooming and recruiting tactics allegedly used by the duo.
215
00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:17.620
It all goes into it, right? These are all tactics
216
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:23.029
that these sort of cells, these intelligence cells, teach you.
217
00:15:24.450 --> 00:15:27.990
They teach you how to procure assets. In this case,
218
00:15:28.029 --> 00:15:31.309
those assets, it's disgusting to even say, were little girls
219
00:15:31.429 --> 00:15:36.559
and girls. and they were used as bait, basically, for
220
00:15:36.580 --> 00:15:44.779
this blackmail operation. As of Wednesday, Maxwell is awaiting trial
221
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.159
in a Brooklyn federal lockup on charges of enticing and
222
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.279
transporting minors as part of Epstein's alleged sex ring, along
223
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:57.960
with committing perjury during her 2016 depositions that are part
224
00:15:58.299 --> 00:16:03.519
of a defamation case filed by another alleged survivor, Virginia Roberts,
225
00:16:03.980 --> 00:16:07.379
to which she entered a not guilty plea and denied
226
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:13.720
all previous allegations. So one thing that I've always wondered
227
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:16.519
here is how is it that R. Kelly gets hit
228
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:20.720
with violations of the Mann Act, but Ghislaine Maxwell isn't
229
00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:24.000
facing Mann Act violations here, at least not in this
230
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:28.759
original case. set of charges now as you all know
231
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:31.799
I believe that there will be a superseded indictment and
232
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:35.279
I think that more charges are going to follow but
233
00:16:35.980 --> 00:16:38.720
I don't understand how she is not in violation of
234
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:44.370
the Mann Act tangent at a 1992 Manhattan party for
235
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:48.950
Ghislaine Maxwell Maxwell's mother Betty Maxwell rumors flew that Epstein
236
00:16:48.970 --> 00:16:52.789
likes schoolgirls and Ghislaine Maxwell was helping him find them
237
00:16:53.210 --> 00:16:56.309
with none of the wealthy socialites in attendance questioning it,
238
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:02.519
the podcast says, citing former friend and journalist Christopher Mason. So,
239
00:17:02.700 --> 00:17:04.960
look folks, that's just a little bit more of the
240
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:10.200
origin story of Ghislaine Maxwell, right? Now, I might be
241
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:16.730
completely wrong. Again, this is my working hypothesis here. I
242
00:17:16.769 --> 00:17:21.650
don't have tangible evidence to prove this. I can't give
243
00:17:21.670 --> 00:17:24.549
you bank statements or anything like that. All I have
244
00:17:24.589 --> 00:17:27.289
to go on is what we know so far and
245
00:17:28.630 --> 00:17:31.589
by putting the pieces of the puzzle together. And when
246
00:17:31.630 --> 00:17:33.769
you start to put those pieces of the puzzle together,
247
00:17:34.309 --> 00:17:38.849
it's rather obvious, at least to me, that Robert Maxwell
248
00:17:40.569 --> 00:17:44.609
was a big part of getting Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine
249
00:17:44.630 --> 00:17:49.670
Maxwell together and putting this whole entire operation into play.

all of the links that go with this episode can

be found in the description box. We got a little
255
00:18:14.589 --> 00:18:18.359
bit more background on Ghislaine Maxwell and how she met
256
00:18:18.579 --> 00:18:25.220
Jeffrey Epstein on the Broken podcast last Wednesday. According to
257
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.740
the podcast, Maxwell was set up with Jeffrey Epstein by
258
00:18:28.779 --> 00:18:32.569
her pops so he could take care of her emotionally. Me?
259
00:18:32.869 --> 00:18:35.630
I don't believe that. Okay? I'll come out and say
260
00:18:35.650 --> 00:18:39.250
it right off the jump. Emotionally? Yeah, sorry, I don't
261
00:18:39.289 --> 00:18:42.539
buy it. Okay? Okay? A robot like her, she don't
262
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:49.400
have emotions. Her father, good old Big Bob Maxwell, introduced
263
00:18:49.460 --> 00:18:52.900
them so that they could get this operation up and running.
264
00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:56.210
That is what I believe. That is where the evidence
265
00:18:56.230 --> 00:19:01.630
has led me. And I don't think that anyone can
266
00:19:01.670 --> 00:19:06.430
dispute the fact, once you look at all of the evidence,
267
00:19:07.269 --> 00:19:11.589
that Ghislaine Maxwell was acting like In a leadership position.
268
00:19:12.190 --> 00:19:17.519
During this whole entire run. When they first started. Maxwell
269
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:20.500
was in charge right. Of all the recruiting procuring. And
270
00:19:20.539 --> 00:19:24.079
then they brought in the core four. And that's when Maxwell.
271
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:27.700
Jumped to the next level. She had underlings below her.
272
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:34.710
She had people carrying out. Her orders. So. The whole.
273
00:19:35.910 --> 00:19:39.980
Jeffrey Epstein was taking care of her. Emotionally. leads a
274
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:43.089
little bit too close to the edge of turning her
275
00:19:43.150 --> 00:19:46.869
into a victim for me. So, sorry, I don't buy that.
276
00:19:47.210 --> 00:19:49.890
I just don't buy it. As you all know, I've been...
277
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:53.819
pretty clear about how I feel about Ghislaine Maxwell. I
278
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:58.099
think that she is the brains behind this whole entire operation.
279
00:19:58.700 --> 00:20:02.140
And Epstein had a couple of bucks and the proclivities.
280
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:06.829
So let's jump into this article and see what the
281
00:20:06.869 --> 00:20:10.630
Daily Mail has to say about Ghislaine Maxwell and being
282
00:20:10.730 --> 00:20:17.930
introduced to Jeffrey Epstein by her dad. Headline, Billionaire Matchmaker.
283
00:20:18.259 --> 00:20:21.819
Ghislaine Maxwell was set up with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein by
284
00:20:21.859 --> 00:20:25.660
her disgraced newspaper baron father, Robert, so he could take
285
00:20:25.700 --> 00:20:30.660
care of her emotionally. This article was authored by Daniel Bates.
286
00:20:34.130 --> 00:20:37.289
Ghislaine Maxwell once revealed that her father introduced her to
287
00:20:37.349 --> 00:20:40.839
Jeffrey Epstein to take care of her emotionally. Oh yeah,
288
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:43.680
because everything that comes out of Ghislaine Maxwell's mouth is
289
00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:47.279
what we should listen to, right? So if she's saying
290
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:50.440
that the relationship was started for her to be taken
291
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:54.220
care of emotionally, we have to try and look in
292
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:56.660
between the lines and see what that really means. Because
293
00:20:56.700 --> 00:20:59.970
we all know we can't listen to anything this lady says.
294
00:21:00.509 --> 00:21:03.589
Everything that's come out of her mouth has been BS,
295
00:21:03.650 --> 00:21:09.720
it seems like. The pedophile's alleged chief recruiter confessed to
296
00:21:09.819 --> 00:21:13.619
one of his staffers that the late newspaper baron, Robert Maxwell,
297
00:21:13.700 --> 00:21:17.519
set her up with Epstein. Robert apparently believed that Epstein
298
00:21:17.539 --> 00:21:20.700
could provide her with the support she needed. Yeah, okay.
299
00:21:21.220 --> 00:21:27.920
Maybe that's their cover story. These people that run in
300
00:21:27.980 --> 00:21:32.380
these circles, the circles of intelligence, the circles of spycraft,
301
00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:34.720
do you really think you're ever going to get the
302
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:37.849
truth out of them? Again, watch a show like The
303
00:21:37.910 --> 00:21:41.450
Americans and you'll see what I'm talking about. These people
304
00:21:41.490 --> 00:21:45.109
make up whole entire identities and realities to hide within.
305
00:21:46.029 --> 00:21:49.539
You really think that Ghislaine Maxwell... is above sowing some
306
00:21:49.619 --> 00:21:52.619
seeds of discontent, sowing a little bit of seeds of
307
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:58.470
doubt and talking to the staffer and saying that she
308
00:21:58.509 --> 00:22:01.849
was set up by her dad because of the emotional support.
309
00:22:02.150 --> 00:22:04.470
It's a good story, right? It's a good cover story,
310
00:22:04.809 --> 00:22:07.650
especially for her later on down the line if she
311
00:22:07.690 --> 00:22:12.329
wants to set herself up as a victim in all
312
00:22:12.349 --> 00:22:18.460
of this, right? Again, this bipedal serpent... is thinking 50
313
00:22:18.460 --> 00:22:24.509
moves ahead. Maxwell insisted that Epstein was not there to
314
00:22:24.549 --> 00:22:27.589
help financially and was very clear on that point, the
315
00:22:27.609 --> 00:22:31.670
staffer said. Yeah, no shit, because Maxwell, Epstein was being
316
00:22:31.710 --> 00:22:35.390
paid by her dad amongst others. Well, we don't think
317
00:22:35.430 --> 00:22:39.970
that Robert Maxwell was bankrolling Jeffrey Epstein's nonsense. We don't
318
00:22:39.990 --> 00:22:44.470
think that Robert Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were making moves
319
00:22:44.529 --> 00:22:48.690
together on the financial front. Look, we don't have direct
320
00:22:49.289 --> 00:22:55.299
evidence of that yet, but it's coming, I'm sure. And
321
00:22:55.380 --> 00:22:59.700
the fact that Jeffrey Epstein and Robert Maxwell had so
322
00:22:59.740 --> 00:23:05.119
many mutual friends, it just does not make any sense
323
00:23:05.180 --> 00:23:09.680
to me that Robert Maxwell would not have been bankrolling
324
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:13.630
Jeffrey Epstein in some capacity. So of course it wasn't
325
00:23:13.670 --> 00:23:17.880
about the money. The money was how they facilitated their
326
00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:26.009
criminal enterprise. According to Broken Seeking Justice, an investigative podcast
327
00:23:26.049 --> 00:23:30.130
about the Epstein case, Maxwell met Epstein in 1988 and
328
00:23:30.190 --> 00:23:33.470
not after her father died in 1991, which is what
329
00:23:33.509 --> 00:23:38.079
was previously suggested. Suggested by whom, by the way? These
330
00:23:38.140 --> 00:23:41.200
same people that show up all of a sudden and
331
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.730
have all of the answers? We've been talking about this
332
00:23:45.789 --> 00:23:47.609
part of the case for how long now here on
333
00:23:47.630 --> 00:23:51.789
this podcast? The fact that she obviously didn't meet him
334
00:23:52.730 --> 00:23:57.289
right after her father's death, how they had a relationship
335
00:23:57.390 --> 00:24:01.430
previous to that. We've talked about that a bunch here
336
00:24:01.470 --> 00:24:05.640
on this podcast and so has others. And yet now
337
00:24:05.660 --> 00:24:07.839
we got the legacy media involved and all of a
338
00:24:07.900 --> 00:24:13.380
sudden they're covering groundbreaking news, right? This is a groundbreaking report. No,
339
00:24:13.779 --> 00:24:16.140
just adds a little more context for us, right? A
340
00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:21.480
little more meat on the bone. If this is true,
341
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:25.140
then it changes the dynamic about the couple and suggests
342
00:24:25.180 --> 00:24:28.980
that Maxwell did not befriend Epstein while in mourning for Robert,
343
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:31.420
who fell off his yacht in the Canary Islands in
344
00:24:31.460 --> 00:24:35.630
mysterious circumstances. Yeah, he fell off his yacht. There's about
345
00:24:35.690 --> 00:24:38.720
as much chance that Robert Maxwell fell off that yacht
346
00:24:39.180 --> 00:24:40.960
as there is of me of walking into one of
347
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:44.509
these casinos here in Las Vegas and winning megabucks. It
348
00:24:44.569 --> 00:24:47.910
is absurd that they would actually think that any of
349
00:24:47.990 --> 00:24:51.920
us would believe that Robert Maxwell wasn't clipped. Come on, man.
350
00:24:57.710 --> 00:25:01.380
In fact, 19 days after Robert's death, Maxwell was photographed
351
00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:04.059
at the Plaza Hotel in New York at a memorial
352
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:07.799
event for her father. She sits wearing a blue silk jacket,
353
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:10.640
smiling at Epstein, who is in a white bow tie
354
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:13.170
with a big grin on his face. Hardly the look
355
00:25:13.190 --> 00:25:16.589
of two people meeting for the first time. Uh, yeah.
356
00:25:16.609 --> 00:25:20.029
It was pretty obvious when that picture was revealed, right?
357
00:25:20.069 --> 00:25:22.769
It's pretty obvious for anyone who's been following the case
358
00:25:23.349 --> 00:25:27.279
that the timelines didn't add up. They just did not
359
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:33.269
add up. Ghislaine Maxwell was not some shrinking violet who
360
00:25:33.289 --> 00:25:37.210
needed the support of a man, okay, in the wake
361
00:25:37.250 --> 00:25:41.130
of her father's death. That does not fit with who
362
00:25:41.190 --> 00:25:44.230
she is, with the image of who she is, with
363
00:25:44.630 --> 00:25:53.180
who we know she is. The latest episode of the
364
00:25:53.220 --> 00:25:56.420
podcast delves into when Maxwell and Epstein met. and began
365
00:25:56.460 --> 00:26:00.529
a relationship that would last for some years in the 1990s. Oh,
366
00:26:00.589 --> 00:26:04.430
just in the 1990s, huh? No, much longer, all the way,
367
00:26:05.210 --> 00:26:07.349
probably all the way up till the second arrest, all right?
368
00:26:07.450 --> 00:26:09.549
We've seen the emails. We saw the email that came
369
00:26:09.670 --> 00:26:14.460
out in the hearing. So stop it, okay? Just stop it.
370
00:26:15.589 --> 00:26:19.009
According to federal prosecutors, during this time, Maxwell groomed girls
371
00:26:19.069 --> 00:26:22.190
as young as 14, charges she denies and will stand
372
00:26:22.250 --> 00:26:26.549
trial next July. Seeking Justice quotes numerous people who knew
373
00:26:26.609 --> 00:26:30.990
Maxwell and Epstein who say that they met before Robert's death. Yeah,
374
00:26:31.869 --> 00:26:37.750
they certainly did. This just happened overnight? This whole entire scheme?
375
00:26:37.789 --> 00:26:41.190
This whole entire plot? Hell no. This plot had been
376
00:26:41.230 --> 00:26:44.369
hatched for quite some time. Maxwell, the rest of his
377
00:26:44.430 --> 00:26:46.910
buddies in the mega group, the boys at the CIA,
378
00:26:47.250 --> 00:26:50.349
they were just waiting for the right tools to do
379
00:26:50.390 --> 00:26:54.730
the job. And Epstein showed up. And Maxwell, who they
380
00:26:54.769 --> 00:26:58.240
already knew because of her father, decided to slide in.
381
00:26:58.579 --> 00:27:01.140
And boy, it was a match made in heaven for
382
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:04.180
the CIA and the rest of their lackeys. That's right.
383
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:08.440
The Mossad is a lackey of the CIA. Yeah, that's right.
384
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:11.319
All of them. All of these intelligence services, in fact.
385
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:14.109
What do you think? Any of them can do anything
386
00:27:14.150 --> 00:27:20.809
without the CIA knowing? One friend says that they understood
387
00:27:20.829 --> 00:27:24.329
the paramount in London through Robert. But she wasn't interested
388
00:27:24.349 --> 00:27:27.529
in him immediately. Yeah, no shit. That wasn't what it
389
00:27:27.549 --> 00:27:29.890
was about. It was never about love. It was never
390
00:27:29.970 --> 00:27:34.250
about emotional attachment. It was never about, oh, Jeffrey's such
391
00:27:34.289 --> 00:27:35.910
a great guy. I want to be with him for
392
00:27:35.950 --> 00:27:38.920
the rest of my life. It was all a means
393
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:44.019
to an end. It was all about putting together this
394
00:27:44.180 --> 00:27:48.039
operation and then making sure that it ran in a
395
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.339
seamless manner. And that's what they did for decades with
396
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:55.519
their help, with the help from their friends, I mean,
397
00:27:55.759 --> 00:28:00.369
at the corrupt FBI, the CIA, and insert your favorite
398
00:28:00.420 --> 00:28:09.029
politician here. One friend says that they understood the pair
399
00:28:09.089 --> 00:28:11.569
met in London through Robert, but she wasn't interested in
400
00:28:11.609 --> 00:28:15.839
him immediately. The former Epstein staffer, who is not named,
401
00:28:16.140 --> 00:28:22.539
says they were told a similar story by Maxwell herself. Yeah,
402
00:28:22.619 --> 00:28:25.559
you know, look, the best lies have a little truth
403
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:29.220
sprinkled in, don't they? Maxwell was planning her cover story
404
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:32.400
a long time ago, from where I'm sitting. That's most
405
00:28:32.420 --> 00:28:34.900
certainly what it looks like to me. Let's sow those seeds.
406
00:28:35.369 --> 00:28:38.170
Let's let them grow for a little while. And then eventually,
407
00:28:38.230 --> 00:28:40.109
if I ever get nailed, we can come back to
408
00:28:40.150 --> 00:28:42.569
this part and we can say that I was a victim.
409
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:48.369
That's how she rolls. But in reality, we all know
410
00:28:48.410 --> 00:28:52.890
the score, don't we? Everybody has been paying attention, Ghislaine.
411
00:28:54.089 --> 00:28:57.009
And your tired old tricks are not going to work.
412
00:28:57.430 --> 00:29:03.289
And neither are these BS cover stories. The staffer recalled
413
00:29:03.329 --> 00:29:06.569
an unsettling visit to Maxwell's Manhattan apartment in the early
414
00:29:07.049 --> 00:29:09.490
90s when she pulled out eight photo albums of her
415
00:29:09.549 --> 00:29:15.829
father's funeral in Israel. Eight photo albums from a funeral
416
00:29:15.869 --> 00:29:19.430
in Israel, huh? Nah, Robert Maxwell had no connections to
417
00:29:19.630 --> 00:29:23.250
anybody in intelligence. Why would he be given a state
418
00:29:23.309 --> 00:29:28.789
funeral in Israel? Ask yourselves that. Afterwards, the staffer was
419
00:29:28.869 --> 00:29:31.509
ready to jump off a bridge, but then Maxwell said
420
00:29:31.569 --> 00:29:35.549
something that surprised them. According to journalist Emily Saul, out
421
00:29:35.569 --> 00:29:38.410
of the blue, Ghislaine said her dad actually connected her
422
00:29:38.450 --> 00:29:44.299
with Epstein. Well, yeah, look, I'm glad that this podcast, Broken,
423
00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:48.240
is out there to help the unsullied and stuff. But
424
00:29:48.299 --> 00:29:50.200
those of us who have been following this for quite
425
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:52.500
some time, we were all hip to this, right? We
426
00:29:52.579 --> 00:29:56.769
all heard Maria Farmer's interviews. We've all heard everything that
427
00:29:56.809 --> 00:30:00.059
had come before her. And when you put the pieces together,
428
00:30:00.099 --> 00:30:04.789
it's quite obvious that this wasn't some love romance. This
429
00:30:04.849 --> 00:30:08.630
wasn't some situation where the two of them fell in
430
00:30:08.710 --> 00:30:12.789
love and they were skipping through a field and one
431
00:30:12.829 --> 00:30:16.990
of them was frolicking through flowers. None of that was occurring.
432
00:30:17.609 --> 00:30:26.119
This was a relationship of mutual beneficial scumbaggery. The idea
433
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:28.839
was Epstein was someone who could take care of her emotionally,
434
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:33.380
not financially. Ghislaine was very clear on that last part. Again,
435
00:30:33.619 --> 00:30:36.240
cover story in my opinion. Could I be wrong? Sure.
436
00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:39.480
Might I be out to lunch here? Maybe. But so far,
437
00:30:39.619 --> 00:30:42.279
I think my track record is pretty good of sniffing
438
00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:45.049
this sort of shit out. And I'll tell you what,
439
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:48.769
my big ol' schnoz is sniffing out some BS here.
440
00:30:50.809 --> 00:30:54.009
Others have had different theories about Maxwell and Epstein's relationship.
441
00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:59.200
Prince Andrew's cousin, Christina Oxenberg, has told DailyMail.com that she
442
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:02.059
got to know the couple in 1993 and thought that
443
00:31:02.099 --> 00:31:05.859
Maxwell wanted to marry Epstein, but he wasn't interested. Again,
444
00:31:06.180 --> 00:31:09.519
I do not buy that story. Could have Ghislaine put
445
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:12.079
on that mask and acted like the dough in love?
446
00:31:12.180 --> 00:31:14.259
Of course she could have. She was very good at that.
447
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:18.109
She's very good at manipulating the situation. But do I
448
00:31:18.180 --> 00:31:22.470
think that this was a love situation where these two
449
00:31:22.490 --> 00:31:28.650
were in love? No, I do not. Epstein's former housekeeper
450
00:31:28.690 --> 00:31:31.569
in Palm Beach, Juan Alessi, has claimed that Maxwell once
451
00:31:31.630 --> 00:31:34.950
told him, I hate him, but I can't leave. Yeah, well,
452
00:31:34.990 --> 00:31:36.910
we could take that a bunch of ways, right? The
453
00:31:36.930 --> 00:31:39.480
way I take it is, she can't leave because her
454
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:42.960
handlers haven't given her the okay to stop the operation.
455
00:31:43.940 --> 00:31:48.059
And you think Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell wielded power?
456
00:31:48.579 --> 00:31:51.259
Wait till you get a load of the intelligence agencies.
457
00:31:53.329 --> 00:31:56.849
In the podcast, Epstein survivor Maria Farmer, who claims that
458
00:31:56.970 --> 00:32:00.170
Epstein and Maxwell sexually assaulted her, said that she saw
459
00:32:00.210 --> 00:32:02.970
the recruiting operation herself when she worked for them in
460
00:32:02.990 --> 00:32:08.019
the mid-1990s. This was long before they had allegedly set
461
00:32:08.059 --> 00:32:11.000
up the pyramid of recruiters that would allegedly funnel dozens
462
00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:14.069
of women to Epstein, and it was just Ghislaine doing it.
463
00:32:14.779 --> 00:32:17.910
Farmer says that at 3 p.m. on the dot every day,
464
00:32:18.009 --> 00:32:22.109
Ghislaine would materialize on edge and was always dressed immaculately.
465
00:32:22.950 --> 00:32:25.869
From Epstein's mansion on Manhattan's Upper East Side, they could
466
00:32:25.890 --> 00:32:28.180
hear the school bells ringing for the end of the day,
467
00:32:28.539 --> 00:32:31.599
and Maxwell would get all hysterical and say, I need
468
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:35.799
to get new biles. I mean, can you imagine? Imagine
469
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:40.369
being near somebody who acted this way? I can't even
470
00:32:40.430 --> 00:32:43.109
imagine what Maria went through with these sick bastards. It's
471
00:32:43.150 --> 00:32:47.450
just unbelievable. Farmers said they would drive around the neighborhood
472
00:32:47.549 --> 00:32:50.799
and hunted children. She said Ghislaine would say, I got
473
00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:54.039
to get a model, got to get a Victoria's Secret model.
474
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:56.599
I was dumb enough to believe it. I believed it
475
00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:59.779
until I didn't. Who would think this woman would be
476
00:32:59.819 --> 00:33:03.720
a British witch? She was so nice. So the cover
477
00:33:03.769 --> 00:33:07.230
story always was for the workers that worked for Jeffrey
478
00:33:07.289 --> 00:33:10.089
Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at the townhouse, the ones that
479
00:33:10.109 --> 00:33:12.130
weren't involved. The cover story was, oh, I have to
480
00:33:12.150 --> 00:33:14.529
get a model. I'm looking for a model for Victoria's
481
00:33:14.569 --> 00:33:18.750
Secret or I'm looking for whatever, an actress or whatever
482
00:33:18.789 --> 00:33:23.089
it may be. I'd seen her go drive up half
483
00:33:23.130 --> 00:33:26.069
central park, tell the driver, stop the car. She would
484
00:33:26.130 --> 00:33:28.849
jump out. She would give a phone number. She would
485
00:33:28.910 --> 00:33:30.950
give a phone number, write it down, give it to
486
00:33:30.970 --> 00:33:35.069
the kids. Everybody always loved her because she seemed so trustworthy.
487
00:33:35.650 --> 00:33:37.609
It was pretty wild the way she would run out
488
00:33:37.650 --> 00:33:40.640
and get people. I did recognize some of the girls
489
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:42.460
we met in the park the next day when she
490
00:33:42.500 --> 00:33:45.420
came in to audition for modeling. She was really excited.
491
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:48.829
Farmer said that after seeing Epstein, a couple of them
492
00:33:48.869 --> 00:33:53.789
were crying. I don't remember seeing anyone return ever. And remember,
493
00:33:53.849 --> 00:33:56.490
Maria called the FBI on these people and the FBI
494
00:33:56.809 --> 00:34:02.170
did squants. They did nothing. Not a thing. Virginia Roberts,
495
00:34:02.369 --> 00:34:05.029
another Epstein survivor who claims she was forced to have
496
00:34:05.089 --> 00:34:08.480
sex with Prince Andrew, says that's because Maxwell looks like
497
00:34:08.500 --> 00:34:11.260
a nice Mary Poppins figure. You had to trust her.
498
00:34:12.190 --> 00:34:14.809
Maxwell was so proud of her prowess as a recruiter
499
00:34:15.070 --> 00:34:18.630
that on a trip to Paris, she chastised Roberts for
500
00:34:18.710 --> 00:34:21.530
failing at it. You had to trust her because you're
501
00:34:21.570 --> 00:34:25.679
a Mary Poppins figure. I'll tell you what, that's one
502
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:27.800
reason I'm glad that I grew up where I grew up,
503
00:34:28.059 --> 00:34:31.079
because I don't trust a soul until I can trust you.
504
00:34:31.179 --> 00:34:34.659
You get it? Until you've proven to me you're trustworthy,
505
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:37.320
I don't trust you. You're a stranger. I don't know you.
506
00:34:37.380 --> 00:34:40.469
I don't know your intentions. I'm not running around with
507
00:34:40.530 --> 00:34:43.210
my eyes closed thinking that people have good intentions for
508
00:34:43.250 --> 00:34:48.210
me because life has most certainly shown me the complete opposite.
509
00:34:50.829 --> 00:34:53.969
Robert said, she said, I just can't believe how bad
510
00:34:54.010 --> 00:34:56.510
you are at it. Pick any girl in the square.
511
00:34:56.530 --> 00:35:00.059
A pretty orange haired girl walked past. She said, I'm
512
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:02.159
going to go up to her. You watch. We're going
513
00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:05.239
to have her over tonight. Sure enough, that girl was
514
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:09.610
at the hotel that night. And this is another reason
515
00:35:09.690 --> 00:35:14.969
why I'm so adamant about Ghislaine Maxwell getting the book
516
00:35:14.989 --> 00:35:19.489
thrown at her about getting slapped with RICO charges. The
517
00:35:19.530 --> 00:35:22.690
way she brazenly went about her business, the way she
518
00:35:22.750 --> 00:35:26.510
just went after these schoolchildren is enough to make me sick.
519
00:35:28.099 --> 00:35:30.280
And then you have people who act like it was
520
00:35:30.659 --> 00:35:33.599
only the girls that we have heard from. No. No.
521
00:35:34.510 --> 00:35:38.099
Times that by 20, 30, 50, 100, whatever it may be.
522
00:35:38.420 --> 00:35:40.739
But there are so many girls who we have not
523
00:35:40.780 --> 00:35:43.940
heard from yet. Girls that have not come forward. Girls
524
00:35:43.980 --> 00:35:46.539
that might not even be with us anymore. This has
525
00:35:46.820 --> 00:35:49.119
been happening for a long time. Who the hell knows?
526
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:53.619
My point is, there are so many other people out
527
00:35:53.659 --> 00:35:58.250
there that have been victimized by Ghislaine Maxwell and her machinations.
528
00:36:04.670 --> 00:36:07.360
Ghislaine was so proud of herself because she proved to
529
00:36:07.389 --> 00:36:10.260
me I was really shitty at procuring girls, and she
530
00:36:10.300 --> 00:36:13.280
was amazing at it. There was no sorrow or even,
531
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:15.699
you're doing something wrong, you shouldn't do it. There was
532
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:17.960
nothing like that. It was just a game to her.
533
00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:20.199
And that's how it is with all these rich people, right?
534
00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:23.150
We're just pieces on a chessboard for them, basically. They
535
00:36:23.190 --> 00:36:25.809
don't give a damn about me or you or anybody else.
536
00:36:26.309 --> 00:36:29.349
All of these clowns, all of these politicians, all of
537
00:36:29.409 --> 00:36:32.550
these shitbirds that get up on their ivory tower... and
538
00:36:32.610 --> 00:36:35.440
talk about how much they care about the people, huh?
539
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:42.960
That's this whole entire so-called polite society. Maxwell stayed in
540
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:46.059
Epstein's orbit until after he was investigated by Palm Beach
541
00:36:46.099 --> 00:36:50.039
police in 2005 and later agreed to a sweetheart plea
542
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:52.900
deal under which he served just 15 months in prison.
543
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:56.719
Robert said that Maxwell caught when there was trouble, adding
544
00:36:56.760 --> 00:37:00.519
that Ghislaine only cares about one thing, and that's Ghislaine. Huh,
545
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:02.579
where else have you guys heard that, huh? How long
546
00:37:02.619 --> 00:37:07.250
have I been preaching that here on this podcast? Ghislaine
547
00:37:07.289 --> 00:37:11.750
Maxwell only cares about herself, only cares about consolidating her power,
548
00:37:12.030 --> 00:37:14.530
and only cares about making sure she's not the one
549
00:37:14.570 --> 00:37:17.269
left twisting in the wind. So if you were friends
550
00:37:17.329 --> 00:37:21.190
with Ghislaine Maxwell, if you were cavorting with Ghislaine Maxwell,
551
00:37:21.510 --> 00:37:26.530
if you were having private vegetarian dinners with Ghislaine Maxwell,
552
00:37:28.010 --> 00:37:31.969
you should be on notice that your number might be
553
00:37:32.010 --> 00:37:36.760

What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
559
00:38:04.059 --> 00:38:08.579
Journalist and author John Sweeney has recently released a book
560
00:38:08.659 --> 00:38:12.320
about Ghislaine Maxwell. And today we're going to talk about
561
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:15.130
that book a little bit, and talk about the review
562
00:38:15.170 --> 00:38:19.030
of that book that The Telegraph has put out. So,
563
00:38:19.369 --> 00:38:25.150
let's get to it. Headline, Hunting Galane Review, Queasy Biography
564
00:38:25.230 --> 00:38:29.860
of an Abuser Who Saw Sex as Currency. John Sweeney's
565
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:34.780
new book sheds fresh light on Maxwell's servile, abusive relationship
566
00:38:34.820 --> 00:38:38.789
with her father, but its prose will make you cringe. Now,
567
00:38:38.869 --> 00:38:41.710
I haven't read this book yet. I'll probably grab it
568
00:38:41.789 --> 00:38:44.199
off of Audible and get to it in the next
569
00:38:44.260 --> 00:38:46.719
few weeks as I try to do with most of
570
00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:49.679
these books that come out covering this topic. So I
571
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.400
don't have much to offer in the way of personal
572
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:55.869
experience as far as reading the book yet. But I
573
00:38:55.909 --> 00:39:00.389
found this review to be relatively interesting. This article was
574
00:39:00.469 --> 00:39:06.480
authored by Mick Brown. With Ghislaine Maxwell now confined to
575
00:39:06.539 --> 00:39:10.679
a cell in Florida's Tallahassee Federal Correctional Institute, serving a
576
00:39:10.739 --> 00:39:14.360
sentence of 20 years for conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to
577
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:17.559
sexually abuse minors, and with the names of those wealthy
578
00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:21.210
and powerful men to whom, it is alleged, Epstein peddled
579
00:39:21.250 --> 00:39:25.469
sexual favors still waiting disclosure, comes yet another chapter in
580
00:39:25.489 --> 00:39:29.869
this most horrific saga. Well, that's pretty much spot on.
581
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:33.920
Horrific saga, for sure. She definitely has some names that
582
00:39:33.980 --> 00:39:37.260
nobody is aware of or that people need confirmation of.
583
00:39:37.889 --> 00:39:41.409
The question is, would she ever play ball? And so far,
584
00:39:41.449 --> 00:39:44.170
it certainly seems like the answer to that question is no.
585
00:39:45.769 --> 00:39:49.750
Hunting Ghislaine by the investigative journalist John Sweeney is based
586
00:39:49.809 --> 00:39:54.269
on Sweeney's popular 2020 podcast of the same name. It's
587
00:39:54.329 --> 00:39:58.510
a story with which we are all familiar, overly familiar perhaps,
588
00:39:58.989 --> 00:40:02.840
but while Sweeney draws copiously on the extensive reporting done
589
00:40:02.860 --> 00:40:06.420
by others, his book carefully researched and written in a
590
00:40:06.460 --> 00:40:10.460
breezy journalese casts a new light on the complex character
591
00:40:10.860 --> 00:40:15.570
of Ghislaine Maxwell and her fateful relationship with Epstein and
592
00:40:15.630 --> 00:40:18.449
her father. So my guess is we're going to rehash
593
00:40:18.489 --> 00:40:22.199
a bunch of old territory here, maybe get some, you know,
594
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:25.940
new information, a tidbit here or there, some insight. But
595
00:40:25.980 --> 00:40:29.400
the overall story is what it is. There is no
596
00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:33.219
excuse under this sun for Maxwell to engage in the
597
00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:41.739
abuse that she engaged in. Robert Maxwell was untamable, dangerous, unpredictable,
598
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:47.460
with power over all he surveyed. Physically huge, brutal, narcissistic,
599
00:40:47.500 --> 00:40:50.500
and sadistic, he was hated by almost everybody he came
600
00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:54.260
into contact with, except for the youngest of his nine children, Ghislaine,
601
00:40:54.699 --> 00:40:58.449
whom he apparently adored, but not enough to restrain his
602
00:40:58.489 --> 00:41:02.210
bullying and frequent beatings. Look, some people are just like that.
603
00:41:02.789 --> 00:41:05.889
There are some people out there who shouldn't have children.
604
00:41:06.769 --> 00:41:09.510
And if you're going to abuse your children, you, my friend,
605
00:41:09.630 --> 00:41:11.829
are one of those people. And it seems like Robert
606
00:41:11.869 --> 00:41:18.980
Maxwell was an abusive dickhead. Sweeney offers fresh light here.
607
00:41:19.300 --> 00:41:23.360
We think of Ghislaine as Maxwell's spoiled favorite, which she was.
608
00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:26.960
Yet at the same time, he treated her appallingly. Nothing
609
00:41:27.019 --> 00:41:29.780
was too good for her, but nothing she did would
610
00:41:29.820 --> 00:41:33.570
ever be good enough for him. Her adoration seems almost
611
00:41:34.210 --> 00:41:37.949
Stockholm Syndrome-like. It is clear that Ghislaine was damaged long
612
00:41:37.989 --> 00:41:41.250
before her father toppled off the back of his 180-foot
613
00:41:41.409 --> 00:41:47.010
luxury yacht. The Lady Ghislaine, serendipitously avoiding the revelation that
614
00:41:47.030 --> 00:41:52.349
he had been embezzling £ 460 million from the Mira pension scheme.
615
00:41:52.889 --> 00:41:58.190
And again, another coincidental... suicide, if you will, surrounding the
616
00:41:58.250 --> 00:42:00.929
Maxwell-Epstein story. Now, am I going to sit here and
617
00:42:00.969 --> 00:42:04.170
tell you that Robert Maxwell didn't take a topple off
618
00:42:04.190 --> 00:42:06.269
of that boat? No, I'm not. I don't know I
619
00:42:06.309 --> 00:42:09.610
wasn't there. But it sure seems a bit suspect to
620
00:42:09.650 --> 00:42:13.900
me that on the evening, basically, of him being outed
621
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:18.139
as embezzling this money, he happens to, quote-unquote, fall while
622
00:42:18.179 --> 00:42:21.440
he's taking a whiz off the side of his boat. Okay,
623
00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:29.829
I guess. Reading Sweeney's description of her hopelessly servile, horribly
624
00:42:29.889 --> 00:42:32.789
abusive relationship with her father, it is hard not to
625
00:42:32.849 --> 00:42:36.699
feel some sympathy for her. A sentiment quickly extinguished when
626
00:42:36.739 --> 00:42:40.079
you consider that she has shown no sympathy nor remorse
627
00:42:40.420 --> 00:42:43.059
for the young girl she pimped on Epstein's behalf. You
628
00:42:43.099 --> 00:42:46.039
mean abused on Epstein's behalf, right? I'm not going to
629
00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:48.469
give her the out by saying, oh, she's just the pimp.
630
00:42:48.829 --> 00:42:51.750
That's not what she was. That would infer that these
631
00:42:51.789 --> 00:42:55.460
women were being sold. They weren't being sold. Jeffrey Epstein
632
00:42:55.500 --> 00:42:59.780
was providing this quote-unquote service, if you will, so that
633
00:42:59.900 --> 00:43:04.260
he could get information from these encounters. So it wasn't
634
00:43:04.300 --> 00:43:07.349
like Heidi Fleiss. You couldn't pick up the phone and
635
00:43:07.369 --> 00:43:09.469
call Jeffrey Epstein and be like, hey, send me your
636
00:43:09.489 --> 00:43:15.489
girl for $ 1. 50. That wasn't what he was doing. Sweeney
637
00:43:15.530 --> 00:43:19.460
explores the theories about Epstein having laundered Robert Maxwell's ill-gotten
638
00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:22.639
gains without ever getting to the bottom of it. But
639
00:43:22.679 --> 00:43:25.260
it seems clear that Ghislaine knew Epstein or of him
640
00:43:25.539 --> 00:43:27.800
before she flew to New York in the wake of
641
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:32.550
her father's death. She became Epstein's lover and the manager
642
00:43:32.590 --> 00:43:36.369
of his various homes, although they never cohabitated. He had
643
00:43:36.409 --> 00:43:39.519
his mansion and she had the mansion he bought for her.
644
00:43:40.650 --> 00:43:43.570
The whole thing about her not knowing Epstein until she
645
00:43:43.610 --> 00:43:47.340
got to New York is a bunch of bubkis. They
646
00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:50.679
knew each other. Now, were they intimately friendly? I don't know.
647
00:43:50.980 --> 00:43:54.130
But they certainly knew who each other were and of
648
00:43:54.190 --> 00:44:00.349
each other. In a sense, they were made for each other.
649
00:44:00.909 --> 00:44:03.230
He was the powerful male figure and key to a
650
00:44:03.250 --> 00:44:06.070
life of luxury that she had lost when Robert Maxwell
651
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:10.119
went overboard. She had a Rolodex of connections, not least
652
00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:14.090
Prince Andrew, who could provide the shady financier, pedophile, with
653
00:44:14.150 --> 00:44:18.809
a veneer of social respectability and cachet. That's what he
654
00:44:18.849 --> 00:44:21.969
was looking for. That's certainly part of it. He wanted
655
00:44:21.989 --> 00:44:25.210
to be accepted in all of those circles. And he
656
00:44:25.269 --> 00:44:27.909
knew that his money alone wouldn't get him there. And
657
00:44:27.949 --> 00:44:30.860
he couldn't connive his way there. So he needed the
658
00:44:30.909 --> 00:44:34.719
vehicle to get into these social circles. And that was
659
00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:40.699
Ghislaine Maxwell. Then, there was the shared interest in sex. Epstein,
660
00:44:41.059 --> 00:44:44.320
as Donald Trump observed, had a widely known enthusiasm for
661
00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:47.559
young girls. According to one visitor, there was only one
662
00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:50.949
book on view on his home, the Marquis de Sade's
663
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:54.650
The Misfortune of Virtue. And I'm sure most of you
664
00:44:54.730 --> 00:44:58.849
are familiar with the Marquis de Sade and his writings.
665
00:44:59.309 --> 00:45:01.869
Probably not the only book you'd want hanging out on
666
00:45:01.889 --> 00:45:08.889
the shelf. Ghislaine was a partying girl. vivacious, fun, and
667
00:45:08.929 --> 00:45:13.030
in Sweeney's words, sexed up big time. Perhaps carried away
668
00:45:13.110 --> 00:45:17.039
by the tawdryness of the subject matter, Sweeney's writing can
669
00:45:17.099 --> 00:45:20.840
sometimes veer alarmingly to a sort of Mickey Spillane redux.
670
00:45:21.380 --> 00:45:27.539
Kevin Maxwell's spirited wife, Pandora, is described as his ballsy squeeze. Hey, look,
671
00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:31.639
a little flowery wordplay is never a bad idea for
672
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:33.219
a book. At the end of the day, you have
673
00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:35.760
to entertain. If you're writing a book, people have to
674
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:41.409
be entertained by it. One female acquaintance recalls a party
675
00:45:41.449 --> 00:45:45.190
at Robert Maxwell's posh council house, Headington Hall, rented from
676
00:45:45.210 --> 00:45:48.670
the local authority, where Ghislaine organized a game of guess-whos,
677
00:45:49.190 --> 00:45:51.909
in which the men would be blindfolded and the women
678
00:45:52.230 --> 00:45:55.820
remove their bras to be fondled and groped. Ghislaine says
679
00:45:56.179 --> 00:45:59.710
she saw sex simply as a currency. Another puts it
680
00:45:59.750 --> 00:46:03.090
more bluntly saying she was obsessed. And there's been a
681
00:46:03.090 --> 00:46:06.349
lot of stories about this instance and that game that
682
00:46:06.409 --> 00:46:09.590
she allegedly set up and how uncomfortable it made some people.
683
00:46:09.929 --> 00:46:12.679
But my guess is a lot of people weren't uncomfortable
684
00:46:12.739 --> 00:46:15.760
by it because a lot of people share her proclivities.
685
00:46:16.380 --> 00:46:18.460
They might not be outed yet, but there's a lot
686
00:46:18.500 --> 00:46:20.639
of sick people out there, folks. And a lot of
687
00:46:20.659 --> 00:46:28.320
them are in so-called polite society. Puritanism sickens the soul,
688
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:32.059
Sweeney writes, purse-lipped. And I am no Puritan, but the
689
00:46:32.139 --> 00:46:37.039
evidence is clear that Ghislaine's sexuality was charged. Unusually so.
690
00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:39.969
And under most circumstances, I don't care if you want
691
00:46:39.989 --> 00:46:42.030
to be a sexual person. You want to go out
692
00:46:42.070 --> 00:46:44.329
and you want to have sex with people? That's your business.
693
00:46:44.369 --> 00:46:46.750
What do I care? As long as people are consenting.
694
00:46:48.050 --> 00:46:50.570
But that's what we're talking about here, right? A bunch
695
00:46:50.610 --> 00:46:56.179
of girls who didn't consent. In New York, under Epstein's sway,
696
00:46:56.420 --> 00:47:00.139
she would go on hunting expeditions for adolescent girls, ostensibly
697
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:03.119
to audition them as models. I've got to go get
698
00:47:03.139 --> 00:47:07.050
the newbiles, she told one of Epstein's employees, meaning Maria Farmer.
699
00:47:07.329 --> 00:47:10.349
Maria Farmer told us all about the newbiles and what
700
00:47:10.369 --> 00:47:14.750
Ghislaine Maxwell used to say to her. A number of
701
00:47:14.789 --> 00:47:18.070
girls subsequently turned up at his house, wearing school uniforms
702
00:47:18.110 --> 00:47:22.820
and braces on their teeth. Sweeney methodically chronicles the steps
703
00:47:22.860 --> 00:47:26.880
of grooming, spotting the victim as being vulnerable, unstable, from
704
00:47:26.940 --> 00:47:30.190
a broken home. The friendly approach, the offer of a
705
00:47:30.250 --> 00:47:35.050
job advancement or simply ready cash. The seemingly innocent suggestion
706
00:47:35.090 --> 00:47:39.150
of giving Epstein a massage, the ensuing abuse and entrapment.
707
00:47:39.530 --> 00:47:41.719
And that's how it all worked out. You go over there,
708
00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:44.090
it starts out with a massage. Before you know it,
709
00:47:44.119 --> 00:47:46.179
you're caught up in the web and you're not only
710
00:47:46.219 --> 00:47:49.199
being abused, you're bringing your friends over to be abused
711
00:47:49.260 --> 00:47:53.920
as well. Sweeney theorizes that like a cult victim, just
712
00:47:54.019 --> 00:47:56.639
as Ghislaine could never bring herself to believe her father
713
00:47:56.679 --> 00:48:00.739
was the monster, he probably was. So she blinded herself
714
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:04.639
to Epstein's depravity, even as she became a willing accomplice
715
00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:07.139
to it. I don't see it that way. Sorry. No way.
716
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:09.780
She knew exactly what she was doing and she did
717
00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:14.519
it with all the gusto in the world. A former
718
00:48:14.579 --> 00:48:17.639
acquaintance sees it differently, observing that Ghislaine would not be
719
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:21.610
the first woman who possesses sexual picadillo of sharing women
720
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:25.269
with her boyfriend. Underlying all of that was her libertarian
721
00:48:25.590 --> 00:48:28.650
sexual appetites. That played a lot into it. She had
722
00:48:28.670 --> 00:48:31.739
her own proclivities, there's no doubt. There's no doubt about it.
723
00:48:35.829 --> 00:48:37.840
The book has the feeling of being written in a hurry.
724
00:48:38.199 --> 00:48:42.159
The structure is frequently haphazard. It is poorly edited. The
725
00:48:42.199 --> 00:48:45.989
breezy tone begins to grate. In a list of scientists
726
00:48:46.030 --> 00:48:50.260
courted by Epstein, who was apparently interested in cryogenics and
727
00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:53.980
wanted his brain and penis frozen, Stephen Hawking is described
728
00:48:54.059 --> 00:48:58.099
as the late great astronomer, Oliver Sacks as the brain boffin.
729
00:48:58.739 --> 00:49:02.179
Both men attended parties thrown by Epstein, where the knapes
730
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:06.230
were handed out by stunningly beautiful models out of a catalogue.
731
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:09.980
Pondering why the boffins allowed themselves to be courted by
732
00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:14.469
such a transparent chancer as Epstein, Sweeney writes, Prudently adding,
733
00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:23.800
that any of the stellar intellects committed any wrongdoing. Well,
734
00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:26.960
except for the ones that Virginia has pointed to. How
735
00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:30.619
about those guys? Probably a few questions to ask them.
736
00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:37.159
Sweeney's strengths as a reporter show themselves in his account
737
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:41.079
of Maxwell's trial, forensically detailing the abuse that occurred at
738
00:49:41.260 --> 00:49:45.280
Epstein's numerous properties, the degree of her complicity in the crimes,
739
00:49:45.739 --> 00:49:48.989
and the cruelty in her denials, effectively making the victim
740
00:49:49.050 --> 00:49:53.210
suffer twice over and having to relive their abuse in court.
741
00:49:54.250 --> 00:49:57.170
Maxwell refused to take the stand in her defense, telling
742
00:49:57.210 --> 00:49:59.530
the judge that the case against her had not been
743
00:49:59.570 --> 00:50:03.530
proved beyond a reasonable doubt. The truth, Sweeney writes, is
744
00:50:03.570 --> 00:50:06.519
she knew she would be ripped to shreds. That's a fact.
745
00:50:06.619 --> 00:50:08.380
She knew that if she got up there, she would
746
00:50:08.420 --> 00:50:16.389
be absolutely hammered and absolutely destroyed by the prosecution. Among
747
00:50:16.409 --> 00:50:19.289
the wealth of evidence presented to the court was the
748
00:50:19.329 --> 00:50:22.650
Palm Beach Etiquette Manual, including a list of toiletries that
749
00:50:22.730 --> 00:50:26.550
Epstein insisted his staff kept in stock. One item catches
750
00:50:26.590 --> 00:50:31.579
the eye. Burberry Baby Touch Soothing Massage Oil. Somehow, nothing
751
00:50:31.619 --> 00:50:36.119
quite encapsulates the full horror of what Epstein did and
752
00:50:36.179 --> 00:50:40.360
Maxwell's part in it more than the thought of that. Well,
753
00:50:40.610 --> 00:50:44.849
that is a review from The Telegraph on the new
754
00:50:44.929 --> 00:50:47.690
John Sweeney book. Now, I haven't read it myself, like
755
00:50:47.730 --> 00:50:50.590
I said, but I plan on reading it very soon.
756
00:50:51.030 --> 00:50:52.739
So there you have it, folks. If you're looking for
757
00:50:52.780 --> 00:50:55.679
some more information, you want to gobble down another book,

there's one for you. As for me, that's going to

1
00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:05.740
I've always wondered how Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell came
2
00:00:05.780 --> 00:00:10.460
to be. How was their relationship fostered? Who introduced them?
3
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.619
Was it on purpose? One thing I can tell you,
4
00:00:14.660 --> 00:00:17.929
in my opinion, is that there was never any love
5
00:00:18.510 --> 00:00:22.949
in this quote unquote relationship. I've always thought that it
6
00:00:22.989 --> 00:00:26.820
was a business arrangement. from the sources that I've spoke with,
7
00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:30.539
from the information that I've seen, I have never seen
8
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:34.039
anything that would point me to them being in love
9
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:40.490
with each other. In fact, all signs point to this
10
00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:47.530
being a business relationship. Today, Forbes has an article out
11
00:00:47.969 --> 00:00:52.659
talking about how Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly met Jeffrey Epstein through
12
00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:56.189
her pops. And now we've talked about this previously. The
13
00:00:56.329 --> 00:00:59.409
Sun had an article out talking about how Robert Maxwell
14
00:00:59.469 --> 00:01:05.209
supposedly bankrolled Jeffrey Epstein. And I've thought that for a
15
00:01:05.230 --> 00:01:07.659
very long time, right? I've said that for quite some
16
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.519
time here, that it wasn't only Les Wexner giving Jeffrey
17
00:01:11.579 --> 00:01:15.260
Epstein money. That's absurd to think that that would be
18
00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:21.040
the only person that was bankrolling this. This was a vast,
19
00:01:21.459 --> 00:01:25.829
vast sale. of people who had one goal in mind,
20
00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:32.870
setting up this blackmail operation. And in my opinion, Robert
21
00:01:32.930 --> 00:01:36.950
Maxwell laid the groundwork for it all to start before
22
00:01:37.269 --> 00:01:40.290
he died. I think that Robert Maxwell played a huge
23
00:01:40.349 --> 00:01:42.700
role in getting this off the ground. And I think
24
00:01:42.739 --> 00:01:46.280
he was a key component in bringing Jeffrey Epstein and
25
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:50.760
Ghislaine Maxwell together. I've said that for quite some time,
26
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:53.390
and I still believe that. I have seen nothing that
27
00:01:53.409 --> 00:01:57.049
would change my mind and point me in the direction
28
00:01:57.090 --> 00:02:01.269
that Jeffrey Epstein was in love with Ghislaine Maxwell. I'm sorry,
29
00:02:01.930 --> 00:02:06.079
but that just does not smell like a good meal
30
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:10.080
for me. All right, so let's jump in here and
31
00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:13.860
see what Forbes has to say about it all. Headline,
32
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:19.870
Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly met Jeffrey Epstein through her disgraced father. Author,
33
00:02:20.270 --> 00:02:26.590
Lisette Voitko. Top line. Ghislaine Maxwell, alleged recruiter of Jeffrey
34
00:02:26.669 --> 00:02:31.770
Epstein's sex ring of underage girls, co-conspirator, fellow child abuser,
35
00:02:32.129 --> 00:02:36.250
general all-around scumbag, is awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges
36
00:02:36.490 --> 00:02:41.569
and reportedly met the now-dead financier, pedophile, through her father,
37
00:02:41.909 --> 00:02:46.310
the tabloid colossus Robert Maxwell, according to a new podcast
38
00:02:46.449 --> 00:02:50.180
on Epstein's dark web of abuse. And he might have
39
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.169
been one early source of Epstein's wealth, catapulted him into
40
00:02:54.210 --> 00:02:59.219
the upper echelon of society. Yeah, it's rather obvious that
41
00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:03.780
Robert Maxwell had his pocketbook open for Jeffrey Epstein. If
42
00:03:03.819 --> 00:03:06.560
they were thinking about this blackmail ring, if they had
43
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:10.689
this plan in place, the blueprint of it, well, all
44
00:03:10.750 --> 00:03:15.530
they needed were the players on the stage. And Jeffrey
45
00:03:15.610 --> 00:03:20.780
Epstein was the perfect candidate. He already had disgusting proclivities
46
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:25.949
that were well-known. and they knew that he was malleable
47
00:03:26.909 --> 00:03:29.310
enough money here enough money there he can be steered
48
00:03:29.330 --> 00:03:34.060
in the right direction and then for the kicker you
49
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.680
bring in Ghislaine Maxwell to make sure that everything runs
50
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:47.979
smoothly see how it all comes together here folks Key facts.
51
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.840
According to the latest episode of Broken Seeking Justice podcast,
52
00:03:52.219 --> 00:03:56.759
Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell met as early as 1988 through
53
00:03:56.810 --> 00:04:01.189
her father, said convicted Ponzi schemer Steve Hoffenberg, who once
54
00:04:01.250 --> 00:04:04.650
worked with Epstein, who also claims for the first time
55
00:04:04.949 --> 00:04:09.370
that Epstein and Robert Maxwell had business dealings together, although
56
00:04:09.409 --> 00:04:13.780
the podcast could not corroborate this. Well, there's a lot
57
00:04:14.129 --> 00:04:18.199
of talk about it, right? There's a lot of whispering
58
00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:22.720
a lot of things being said about Robert Maxwell and
59
00:04:22.819 --> 00:04:25.540
his role in getting all of this off the ground.
60
00:04:25.980 --> 00:04:28.339
And I think we'll hear more of that as the
61
00:04:28.420 --> 00:04:32.709
trial gets closer. And if more people obviously are indicted,
62
00:04:33.850 --> 00:04:37.730
they will have a song to sing. Now, I'm not
63
00:04:37.769 --> 00:04:40.990
too sure if we're ever going to really be able
64
00:04:41.050 --> 00:04:44.250
to pinpoint the origins of this or if we'll just
65
00:04:44.290 --> 00:04:48.730
be left to speculate. As of now, though, In my opinion,
66
00:04:49.850 --> 00:04:53.029
Robert Maxwell played a huge role at the beginning, folks,
67
00:04:53.089 --> 00:04:55.939
at the beginning of setting this all in motion and
68
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.939
making sure that somebody that he could trust, a confidant,
69
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:06.160
somebody that he knew understood what the goal was, was involved.
70
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:12.480
And that somebody was his daughter, Ghislaine Maxwell. Two additional
71
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.360
sources backed up the claim that Robert Maxwell was the
72
00:05:15.420 --> 00:05:19.689
person who brought his prized daughter together with Epstein, including
73
00:05:19.750 --> 00:05:23.290
a former Epstein staffer who was told by Ghislaine Maxwell
74
00:05:23.410 --> 00:05:25.610
while she forced them to look at eight albums worth
75
00:05:25.670 --> 00:05:31.060
of photos from her father's funeral. Look, it's very obvious
76
00:05:31.250 --> 00:05:36.519
to me anyway, that Ghislaine Maxwell learned her craft at
77
00:05:36.579 --> 00:05:40.370
her father's side on the knee of her father. While
78
00:05:40.410 --> 00:05:42.389
you and I were growing up and our fathers were
79
00:05:42.410 --> 00:05:45.750
teaching us life lessons about, you know, whatever it may be,
80
00:05:46.189 --> 00:05:49.769
Ghislaine's father was teaching her how to manipulate, how to scam,
81
00:05:50.069 --> 00:05:53.759
how to cheat, and how to plot. And those are
82
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:58.740
lessons that daddy's little girl obviously took to her black heart.
83
00:06:02.699 --> 00:06:05.879
Ghislaine Maxwell told the staffer that Epstein was someone who
84
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.889
could take care of her emotionally. and was firm that
85
00:06:08.910 --> 00:06:11.600
his finances weren't the source of her interest, according to
86
00:06:11.629 --> 00:06:15.420
the podcast, which aligns with reports that the pair dated
87
00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:19.040
at one point and remained friends. See, there's my contention there.
88
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.639
They might have dated as a cover, but there was
89
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.779
no love there, in my opinion. And again, it wasn't
90
00:06:24.819 --> 00:06:27.819
about the money, like some people have stated, because even
91
00:06:27.860 --> 00:06:31.579
though Maxwell was disgraced, even though Maxwell lost a bunch
92
00:06:31.620 --> 00:06:34.100
of money, do you really think that the Maxwell family
93
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:37.160
didn't have money squirreled away? Do you think that they
94
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:42.300
were left with just nothing? I highly doubt that, folks.
95
00:06:43.740 --> 00:06:50.949
And I know that Ghislaine Maxwell had many, many different options,
96
00:06:51.170 --> 00:06:54.620
many different ways she could have went. But she ended
97
00:06:54.740 --> 00:07:00.360
up with Jeffrey Epstein. She ended up in that sphere.
98
00:07:01.259 --> 00:07:07.110
And when all of the information has come out and
99
00:07:07.189 --> 00:07:11.310
when we have the benefit of hindsight, we see that
100
00:07:11.350 --> 00:07:15.670
not only did she end up running around with Jeffrey
101
00:07:15.769 --> 00:07:20.069
Epstein as some lover or a victim as some people
102
00:07:20.670 --> 00:07:23.920
would like to paint her. We see the true face,
103
00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:28.399
and that face is Ghislaine Maxwell had a leadership role
104
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.800
here and was a key component in getting this off
105
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:39.019
of the ground. Robert Maxwell might have been a source
106
00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:42.879
of Epstein's wealth, according to the podcast, citing a 2010
107
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:48.689
deposition from bookkeeper Maritza Vasquez in a Florida civil lawsuit
108
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.949
in which she says Maxwell started Epstein's money. a claim
109
00:07:53.250 --> 00:07:57.509
only previously reported by tabloid The Sun through an anonymous source.
110
00:07:57.850 --> 00:08:00.740
And it's funny that they mention, oh, The Sun's a tabloid. Well,
111
00:08:00.750 --> 00:08:02.920
they might be a tabloid, and they might talk about
112
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:06.060
some wild shit in other areas, but they've done a
113
00:08:06.100 --> 00:08:10.860
good job in this Jeffrey Epstein case. And it shows
114
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.519
you just how much of a dumpster fire the legacy
115
00:08:13.579 --> 00:08:17.300
media is. They're getting scooped on the Epstein case by
116
00:08:17.339 --> 00:08:21.459
The Sun. Imagine that. Imagine having all the resources of
117
00:08:21.740 --> 00:08:25.639
the BBC or CNN or one of these other garbage outlets,
118
00:08:26.259 --> 00:08:33.629
and you get scooped by the sun. Vasquez also said
119
00:08:33.649 --> 00:08:36.730
in the deposition that Epstein had a relationship with a woman,
120
00:08:36.990 --> 00:08:39.769
that her father was very wealthy, and that's how he
121
00:08:39.809 --> 00:08:43.840
started his own money. Of course it is. Golly. Look,
122
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:49.070
so Ghislaine Maxwell was set up with Jeffrey Epstein through
123
00:08:49.110 --> 00:08:53.570
the intelligence version of Match.com, right? And then she was
124
00:08:53.750 --> 00:08:57.789
launched into his orbit, was told that she had some
125
00:08:57.889 --> 00:09:01.649
funds that were at her discretion, and her and Jeffrey
126
00:09:01.730 --> 00:09:05.570
Epstein started laying the groundwork for this criminal enterprise. All
127
00:09:05.610 --> 00:09:10.220
bankrolled on the back of Robert Maxwell and whatever intelligence
128
00:09:10.259 --> 00:09:13.500
handlers had their palms on him at the time. My
129
00:09:13.539 --> 00:09:19.269
guess is the CIA. Lawyers for Maxwell did not respond
130
00:09:19.289 --> 00:09:21.730
to a request by Forbes to confirm how she met
131
00:09:21.850 --> 00:09:26.330
Epstein or if Robert Maxwell was a source of Epstein's wealth. Yeah,
132
00:09:26.370 --> 00:09:27.940
she's not going to, you know, why would she talk
133
00:09:27.980 --> 00:09:30.960
about that right now? That would be stupid. So if
134
00:09:31.019 --> 00:09:34.220
anyone thinks we're going to get any context from Ghislaine
135
00:09:34.259 --> 00:09:37.240
Maxwell or that she's going to add anything for us,
136
00:09:37.259 --> 00:09:41.610
you're going to be waiting for quite some time. Critical quote.
137
00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:45.340
In addition to these accounts, there's also a photo snapped
138
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:49.409
a mere 19 days after Robert Maxwell's death that intimately
139
00:09:49.490 --> 00:09:53.289
links Epstein and Ghislaine. Shot at the Plaza Hotel during
140
00:09:53.330 --> 00:09:56.750
a memorial event for Robert Maxwell, the picture shows Ghislaine
141
00:09:56.809 --> 00:10:01.620
and Epstein in conversation. Reporter M. Saul says in the episode,
142
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:12.940
It doesn't look like a first date. That's because it's
143
00:10:13.019 --> 00:10:15.639
not a first date. See, I'm really glad that this
144
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:20.019
broken podcast has come out and somebody with resources who
145
00:10:20.419 --> 00:10:25.480
is honorable like Tara Palmieri is involved because she's going
146
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.399
to get to the bottom of this kind of stuff, right?
147
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.940
She's not going to just sit by and let this
148
00:10:29.980 --> 00:10:32.919
shit slide. She sees it all. Everybody sees it all.
149
00:10:34.220 --> 00:10:36.840
The problem is the legacy media doesn't have the courage
150
00:10:36.899 --> 00:10:40.500
to run it because they're still scared of these people.
151
00:10:41.350 --> 00:10:44.409
And in some cases, some of their faves are caught
152
00:10:44.490 --> 00:10:47.549
up in it. But the fact that Ghislaine Maxwell and
153
00:10:47.590 --> 00:10:54.139
Jeffrey Epstein, the origin story is this love affair that
154
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.379
blossomed and then they grew apart, it's such bullshit in
155
00:10:57.419 --> 00:11:02.340
my opinion, okay? This was and always has been a clinical,
156
00:11:02.940 --> 00:11:12.690
surgically precise operation. Big number. $ 590 million. That's how much
157
00:11:12.730 --> 00:11:15.690
of pension funds stolen by Robert Maxwell from his mirror
158
00:11:15.730 --> 00:11:20.389
group publishing company went missing after his mysterious 1991 death.
159
00:11:20.909 --> 00:11:24.730
A presumed drowning after falling from his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine,
160
00:11:25.190 --> 00:11:29.629
into the sea off the Canary Islands. Just happens to
161
00:11:29.649 --> 00:11:33.120
be that he died on the boat, huh? Another person
162
00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:37.460
who just happened to commit suicide around Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell,
163
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.779
and the rest of these scoundrels. They really think we're
164
00:11:39.820 --> 00:11:44.100
that stupid. Now, I don't have any evidence that Robert
165
00:11:44.139 --> 00:11:48.080
Maxwell didn't commit suicide. But when you look at all
166
00:11:48.100 --> 00:11:51.570
of the evidence that's lined up and you look. at
167
00:11:51.610 --> 00:11:55.309
the players on the stage, do you really think that
168
00:11:55.370 --> 00:11:58.409
it's beyond any of these people to clip somebody like
169
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.559
Maxwell out at sea if they think he's going to
170
00:12:01.700 --> 00:12:05.840
rat on them or expose a plan or if he
171
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:10.700
has outlived his usefulness? That's what these people do. Intelligence
172
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:19.990
agencies burn assets all of the time, folks. The podcast
173
00:12:20.049 --> 00:12:22.929
raises questions about where his money got off to after
174
00:12:22.950 --> 00:12:26.320
he died, since it's never been recovered. At the time
175
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.820
of his August 2019 death by suicide, Epstein's assets totaled
176
00:12:31.820 --> 00:12:36.330
$ 578 million. And Ghislaine Maxwell had $ 20 million to her
177
00:12:36.389 --> 00:12:40.549
name at the time of her July arrest, according to prosecutors.
178
00:12:41.269 --> 00:12:44.919
So remember what Epstein told everybody, right? He was a
179
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.440
forensic accountant, basically, who worked for the government, who went
180
00:12:48.460 --> 00:12:53.200
and recovered money for the United States government. We know
181
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:58.750
that he was a prolific, prolific money launderer. And we
182
00:12:58.779 --> 00:13:02.049
know that he had many, many front companies where he
183
00:13:02.090 --> 00:13:05.990
could stash this money. Now, Robert Maxwell's money still has
184
00:13:06.029 --> 00:13:10.289
never been found. You mean to tell me that it's
185
00:13:10.470 --> 00:13:14.580
out of the realm of possibility? That Jeffrey Epstein somehow
186
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:18.950
took control of that $ 590 million and did Lord only
187
00:13:18.990 --> 00:13:21.539
knows what with it? Not out of the realm of
188
00:13:21.570 --> 00:13:24.929
possibility in my book, especially considering that none of that
189
00:13:24.970 --> 00:13:26.909
money was in the bank. None of that money was
190
00:13:27.070 --> 00:13:32.230
anywhere where the government could seize it. And now remember, folks,
191
00:13:32.250 --> 00:13:34.610
we're not dealing with average people here. We're dealing with
192
00:13:34.669 --> 00:13:39.129
people who are locked into the world of spycraft and intrigue.
193
00:13:40.009 --> 00:13:43.269
And guys like Robert Maxwell, for as repugnant as they are,
194
00:13:43.889 --> 00:13:46.740
they know their shit. And if you think for a
195
00:13:46.779 --> 00:13:50.080
minute that Robert Maxwell went to his grave leaving none
196
00:13:50.100 --> 00:13:54.679
of that money around for the operation or for his kids, well,
197
00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:00.980
you're being very naive. The new episode, Broken, Seeking Justice,
198
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.179
seeks to unravel the tangled mystery surrounding Ghislaine Maxwell, who's
199
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:10.039
often been referred to as Epstein's alleged madam. Maria Farmer,
200
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:13.600
an alleged Epstein survivor, told the podcast she would drive
201
00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:17.259
around Manhattan's Central Park with Maxwell in the 90s scouting
202
00:14:17.299 --> 00:14:21.100
for models. Maxwell, Farmer said, would jump out of the
203
00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:25.259
car and invite girls back to Epstein's sprawling mansion to audition.
204
00:14:26.340 --> 00:14:28.960
And we've heard from Maria about all of this stuff
205
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:32.720
and how she used to call them nubiles and how
206
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:35.990
mean she was and the sort of character that she possessed.
207
00:14:36.450 --> 00:14:42.799
This is a woman... who was obviously, obviously reared in
208
00:14:42.850 --> 00:14:52.029
a world of intrigue. Farmer, who worked the front desk
209
00:14:52.090 --> 00:14:54.549
at the mansion, would sometimes see those girls come in
210
00:14:54.909 --> 00:14:56.950
and told the podcast she witnessed a couple of the
211
00:14:56.970 --> 00:15:01.450
girls crying as they left. In a November 2019 civil
212
00:15:01.490 --> 00:15:06.019
lawsuit against Epstein's estate, Farmer claims Epstein and Maxwell assaulted
213
00:15:06.059 --> 00:15:09.840
her at his New Mexico ranch in 1996 and describes
214
00:15:09.899 --> 00:15:14.039
the grooming and recruiting tactics allegedly used by the duo.
215
00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:17.620
It all goes into it, right? These are all tactics
216
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:23.029
that these sort of cells, these intelligence cells, teach you.
217
00:15:24.450 --> 00:15:27.990
They teach you how to procure assets. In this case,
218
00:15:28.029 --> 00:15:31.309
those assets, it's disgusting to even say, were little girls
219
00:15:31.429 --> 00:15:36.559
and girls. and they were used as bait, basically, for
220
00:15:36.580 --> 00:15:44.779
this blackmail operation. As of Wednesday, Maxwell is awaiting trial
221
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.159
in a Brooklyn federal lockup on charges of enticing and
222
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.279
transporting minors as part of Epstein's alleged sex ring, along
223
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:57.960
with committing perjury during her 2016 depositions that are part
224
00:15:58.299 --> 00:16:03.519
of a defamation case filed by another alleged survivor, Virginia Roberts,
225
00:16:03.980 --> 00:16:07.379
to which she entered a not guilty plea and denied
226
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:13.720
all previous allegations. So one thing that I've always wondered
227
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:16.519
here is how is it that R. Kelly gets hit
228
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:20.720
with violations of the Mann Act, but Ghislaine Maxwell isn't
229
00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:24.000
facing Mann Act violations here, at least not in this
230
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:28.759
original case. set of charges now as you all know
231
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:31.799
I believe that there will be a superseded indictment and
232
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:35.279
I think that more charges are going to follow but
233
00:16:35.980 --> 00:16:38.720
I don't understand how she is not in violation of
234
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:44.370
the Mann Act tangent at a 1992 Manhattan party for
235
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:48.950
Ghislaine Maxwell Maxwell's mother Betty Maxwell rumors flew that Epstein
236
00:16:48.970 --> 00:16:52.789
likes schoolgirls and Ghislaine Maxwell was helping him find them
237
00:16:53.210 --> 00:16:56.309
with none of the wealthy socialites in attendance questioning it,
238
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:02.519
the podcast says, citing former friend and journalist Christopher Mason. So,
239
00:17:02.700 --> 00:17:04.960
look folks, that's just a little bit more of the
240
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:10.200
origin story of Ghislaine Maxwell, right? Now, I might be
241
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:16.730
completely wrong. Again, this is my working hypothesis here. I
242
00:17:16.769 --> 00:17:21.650
don't have tangible evidence to prove this. I can't give
243
00:17:21.670 --> 00:17:24.549
you bank statements or anything like that. All I have
244
00:17:24.589 --> 00:17:27.289
to go on is what we know so far and
245
00:17:28.630 --> 00:17:31.589
by putting the pieces of the puzzle together. And when
246
00:17:31.630 --> 00:17:33.769
you start to put those pieces of the puzzle together,
247
00:17:34.309 --> 00:17:38.849
it's rather obvious, at least to me, that Robert Maxwell
248
00:17:40.569 --> 00:17:44.609
was a big part of getting Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine
249
00:17:44.630 --> 00:17:49.670
Maxwell together and putting this whole entire operation into play.

be found in the description box. We got a little
255
00:18:14.589 --> 00:18:18.359
bit more background on Ghislaine Maxwell and how she met
256
00:18:18.579 --> 00:18:25.220
Jeffrey Epstein on the Broken podcast last Wednesday. According to
257
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.740
the podcast, Maxwell was set up with Jeffrey Epstein by
258
00:18:28.779 --> 00:18:32.569
her pops so he could take care of her emotionally. Me?
259
00:18:32.869 --> 00:18:35.630
I don't believe that. Okay? I'll come out and say
260
00:18:35.650 --> 00:18:39.250
it right off the jump. Emotionally? Yeah, sorry, I don't
261
00:18:39.289 --> 00:18:42.539
buy it. Okay? Okay? A robot like her, she don't
262
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:49.400
have emotions. Her father, good old Big Bob Maxwell, introduced
263
00:18:49.460 --> 00:18:52.900
them so that they could get this operation up and running.
264
00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:56.210
That is what I believe. That is where the evidence
265
00:18:56.230 --> 00:19:01.630
has led me. And I don't think that anyone can
266
00:19:01.670 --> 00:19:06.430
dispute the fact, once you look at all of the evidence,
267
00:19:07.269 --> 00:19:11.589
that Ghislaine Maxwell was acting like In a leadership position.
268
00:19:12.190 --> 00:19:17.519
During this whole entire run. When they first started. Maxwell
269
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:20.500
was in charge right. Of all the recruiting procuring. And
270
00:19:20.539 --> 00:19:24.079
then they brought in the core four. And that's when Maxwell.
271
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:27.700
Jumped to the next level. She had underlings below her.
272
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:34.710
She had people carrying out. Her orders. So. The whole.
273
00:19:35.910 --> 00:19:39.980
Jeffrey Epstein was taking care of her. Emotionally. leads a
274
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:43.089
little bit too close to the edge of turning her
275
00:19:43.150 --> 00:19:46.869
into a victim for me. So, sorry, I don't buy that.
276
00:19:47.210 --> 00:19:49.890
I just don't buy it. As you all know, I've been...
277
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:53.819
pretty clear about how I feel about Ghislaine Maxwell. I
278
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:58.099
think that she is the brains behind this whole entire operation.
279
00:19:58.700 --> 00:20:02.140
And Epstein had a couple of bucks and the proclivities.
280
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:06.829
So let's jump into this article and see what the
281
00:20:06.869 --> 00:20:10.630
Daily Mail has to say about Ghislaine Maxwell and being
282
00:20:10.730 --> 00:20:17.930
introduced to Jeffrey Epstein by her dad. Headline, Billionaire Matchmaker.
283
00:20:18.259 --> 00:20:21.819
Ghislaine Maxwell was set up with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein by
284
00:20:21.859 --> 00:20:25.660
her disgraced newspaper baron father, Robert, so he could take
285
00:20:25.700 --> 00:20:30.660
care of her emotionally. This article was authored by Daniel Bates.
286
00:20:34.130 --> 00:20:37.289
Ghislaine Maxwell once revealed that her father introduced her to
287
00:20:37.349 --> 00:20:40.839
Jeffrey Epstein to take care of her emotionally. Oh yeah,
288
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:43.680
because everything that comes out of Ghislaine Maxwell's mouth is
289
00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:47.279
what we should listen to, right? So if she's saying
290
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:50.440
that the relationship was started for her to be taken
291
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:54.220
care of emotionally, we have to try and look in
292
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:56.660
between the lines and see what that really means. Because
293
00:20:56.700 --> 00:20:59.970
we all know we can't listen to anything this lady says.
294
00:21:00.509 --> 00:21:03.589
Everything that's come out of her mouth has been BS,
295
00:21:03.650 --> 00:21:09.720
it seems like. The pedophile's alleged chief recruiter confessed to
296
00:21:09.819 --> 00:21:13.619
one of his staffers that the late newspaper baron, Robert Maxwell,
297
00:21:13.700 --> 00:21:17.519
set her up with Epstein. Robert apparently believed that Epstein
298
00:21:17.539 --> 00:21:20.700
could provide her with the support she needed. Yeah, okay.
299
00:21:21.220 --> 00:21:27.920
Maybe that's their cover story. These people that run in
300
00:21:27.980 --> 00:21:32.380
these circles, the circles of intelligence, the circles of spycraft,
301
00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:34.720
do you really think you're ever going to get the
302
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:37.849
truth out of them? Again, watch a show like The
303
00:21:37.910 --> 00:21:41.450
Americans and you'll see what I'm talking about. These people
304
00:21:41.490 --> 00:21:45.109
make up whole entire identities and realities to hide within.
305
00:21:46.029 --> 00:21:49.539
You really think that Ghislaine Maxwell... is above sowing some
306
00:21:49.619 --> 00:21:52.619
seeds of discontent, sowing a little bit of seeds of
307
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:58.470
doubt and talking to the staffer and saying that she
308
00:21:58.509 --> 00:22:01.849
was set up by her dad because of the emotional support.
309
00:22:02.150 --> 00:22:04.470
It's a good story, right? It's a good cover story,
310
00:22:04.809 --> 00:22:07.650
especially for her later on down the line if she
311
00:22:07.690 --> 00:22:12.329
wants to set herself up as a victim in all
312
00:22:12.349 --> 00:22:18.460
of this, right? Again, this bipedal serpent... is thinking 50
313
00:22:18.460 --> 00:22:24.509
moves ahead. Maxwell insisted that Epstein was not there to
314
00:22:24.549 --> 00:22:27.589
help financially and was very clear on that point, the
315
00:22:27.609 --> 00:22:31.670
staffer said. Yeah, no shit, because Maxwell, Epstein was being
316
00:22:31.710 --> 00:22:35.390
paid by her dad amongst others. Well, we don't think
317
00:22:35.430 --> 00:22:39.970
that Robert Maxwell was bankrolling Jeffrey Epstein's nonsense. We don't
318
00:22:39.990 --> 00:22:44.470
think that Robert Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were making moves
319
00:22:44.529 --> 00:22:48.690
together on the financial front. Look, we don't have direct
320
00:22:49.289 --> 00:22:55.299
evidence of that yet, but it's coming, I'm sure. And
321
00:22:55.380 --> 00:22:59.700
the fact that Jeffrey Epstein and Robert Maxwell had so
322
00:22:59.740 --> 00:23:05.119
many mutual friends, it just does not make any sense
323
00:23:05.180 --> 00:23:09.680
to me that Robert Maxwell would not have been bankrolling
324
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:13.630
Jeffrey Epstein in some capacity. So of course it wasn't
325
00:23:13.670 --> 00:23:17.880
about the money. The money was how they facilitated their
326
00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:26.009
criminal enterprise. According to Broken Seeking Justice, an investigative podcast
327
00:23:26.049 --> 00:23:30.130
about the Epstein case, Maxwell met Epstein in 1988 and
328
00:23:30.190 --> 00:23:33.470
not after her father died in 1991, which is what
329
00:23:33.509 --> 00:23:38.079
was previously suggested. Suggested by whom, by the way? These
330
00:23:38.140 --> 00:23:41.200
same people that show up all of a sudden and
331
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.730
have all of the answers? We've been talking about this
332
00:23:45.789 --> 00:23:47.609
part of the case for how long now here on
333
00:23:47.630 --> 00:23:51.789
this podcast? The fact that she obviously didn't meet him
334
00:23:52.730 --> 00:23:57.289
right after her father's death, how they had a relationship
335
00:23:57.390 --> 00:24:01.430
previous to that. We've talked about that a bunch here
336
00:24:01.470 --> 00:24:05.640
on this podcast and so has others. And yet now
337
00:24:05.660 --> 00:24:07.839
we got the legacy media involved and all of a
338
00:24:07.900 --> 00:24:13.380
sudden they're covering groundbreaking news, right? This is a groundbreaking report. No,
339
00:24:13.779 --> 00:24:16.140
just adds a little more context for us, right? A
340
00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:21.480
little more meat on the bone. If this is true,
341
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:25.140
then it changes the dynamic about the couple and suggests
342
00:24:25.180 --> 00:24:28.980
that Maxwell did not befriend Epstein while in mourning for Robert,
343
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:31.420
who fell off his yacht in the Canary Islands in
344
00:24:31.460 --> 00:24:35.630
mysterious circumstances. Yeah, he fell off his yacht. There's about
345
00:24:35.690 --> 00:24:38.720
as much chance that Robert Maxwell fell off that yacht
346
00:24:39.180 --> 00:24:40.960
as there is of me of walking into one of
347
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:44.509
these casinos here in Las Vegas and winning megabucks. It
348
00:24:44.569 --> 00:24:47.910
is absurd that they would actually think that any of
349
00:24:47.990 --> 00:24:51.920
us would believe that Robert Maxwell wasn't clipped. Come on, man.
350
00:24:57.710 --> 00:25:01.380
In fact, 19 days after Robert's death, Maxwell was photographed
351
00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:04.059
at the Plaza Hotel in New York at a memorial
352
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:07.799
event for her father. She sits wearing a blue silk jacket,
353
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:10.640
smiling at Epstein, who is in a white bow tie
354
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:13.170
with a big grin on his face. Hardly the look
355
00:25:13.190 --> 00:25:16.589
of two people meeting for the first time. Uh, yeah.
356
00:25:16.609 --> 00:25:20.029
It was pretty obvious when that picture was revealed, right?
357
00:25:20.069 --> 00:25:22.769
It's pretty obvious for anyone who's been following the case
358
00:25:23.349 --> 00:25:27.279
that the timelines didn't add up. They just did not
359
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:33.269
add up. Ghislaine Maxwell was not some shrinking violet who
360
00:25:33.289 --> 00:25:37.210
needed the support of a man, okay, in the wake
361
00:25:37.250 --> 00:25:41.130
of her father's death. That does not fit with who
362
00:25:41.190 --> 00:25:44.230
she is, with the image of who she is, with
363
00:25:44.630 --> 00:25:53.180
who we know she is. The latest episode of the
364
00:25:53.220 --> 00:25:56.420
podcast delves into when Maxwell and Epstein met. and began
365
00:25:56.460 --> 00:26:00.529
a relationship that would last for some years in the 1990s. Oh,
366
00:26:00.589 --> 00:26:04.430
just in the 1990s, huh? No, much longer, all the way,
367
00:26:05.210 --> 00:26:07.349
probably all the way up till the second arrest, all right?
368
00:26:07.450 --> 00:26:09.549
We've seen the emails. We saw the email that came
369
00:26:09.670 --> 00:26:14.460
out in the hearing. So stop it, okay? Just stop it.
370
00:26:15.589 --> 00:26:19.009
According to federal prosecutors, during this time, Maxwell groomed girls
371
00:26:19.069 --> 00:26:22.190
as young as 14, charges she denies and will stand
372
00:26:22.250 --> 00:26:26.549
trial next July. Seeking Justice quotes numerous people who knew
373
00:26:26.609 --> 00:26:30.990
Maxwell and Epstein who say that they met before Robert's death. Yeah,
374
00:26:31.869 --> 00:26:37.750
they certainly did. This just happened overnight? This whole entire scheme?
375
00:26:37.789 --> 00:26:41.190
This whole entire plot? Hell no. This plot had been
376
00:26:41.230 --> 00:26:44.369
hatched for quite some time. Maxwell, the rest of his
377
00:26:44.430 --> 00:26:46.910
buddies in the mega group, the boys at the CIA,
378
00:26:47.250 --> 00:26:50.349
they were just waiting for the right tools to do
379
00:26:50.390 --> 00:26:54.730
the job. And Epstein showed up. And Maxwell, who they
380
00:26:54.769 --> 00:26:58.240
already knew because of her father, decided to slide in.
381
00:26:58.579 --> 00:27:01.140
And boy, it was a match made in heaven for
382
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:04.180
the CIA and the rest of their lackeys. That's right.
383
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:08.440
The Mossad is a lackey of the CIA. Yeah, that's right.
384
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:11.319
All of them. All of these intelligence services, in fact.
385
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:14.109
What do you think? Any of them can do anything
386
00:27:14.150 --> 00:27:20.809
without the CIA knowing? One friend says that they understood
387
00:27:20.829 --> 00:27:24.329
the paramount in London through Robert. But she wasn't interested
388
00:27:24.349 --> 00:27:27.529
in him immediately. Yeah, no shit. That wasn't what it
389
00:27:27.549 --> 00:27:29.890
was about. It was never about love. It was never
390
00:27:29.970 --> 00:27:34.250
about emotional attachment. It was never about, oh, Jeffrey's such
391
00:27:34.289 --> 00:27:35.910
a great guy. I want to be with him for
392
00:27:35.950 --> 00:27:38.920
the rest of my life. It was all a means
393
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:44.019
to an end. It was all about putting together this
394
00:27:44.180 --> 00:27:48.039
operation and then making sure that it ran in a
395
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.339
seamless manner. And that's what they did for decades with
396
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:55.519
their help, with the help from their friends, I mean,
397
00:27:55.759 --> 00:28:00.369
at the corrupt FBI, the CIA, and insert your favorite
398
00:28:00.420 --> 00:28:09.029
politician here. One friend says that they understood the pair
399
00:28:09.089 --> 00:28:11.569
met in London through Robert, but she wasn't interested in
400
00:28:11.609 --> 00:28:15.839
him immediately. The former Epstein staffer, who is not named,
401
00:28:16.140 --> 00:28:22.539
says they were told a similar story by Maxwell herself. Yeah,
402
00:28:22.619 --> 00:28:25.559
you know, look, the best lies have a little truth
403
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:29.220
sprinkled in, don't they? Maxwell was planning her cover story
404
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:32.400
a long time ago, from where I'm sitting. That's most
405
00:28:32.420 --> 00:28:34.900
certainly what it looks like to me. Let's sow those seeds.
406
00:28:35.369 --> 00:28:38.170
Let's let them grow for a little while. And then eventually,
407
00:28:38.230 --> 00:28:40.109
if I ever get nailed, we can come back to
408
00:28:40.150 --> 00:28:42.569
this part and we can say that I was a victim.
409
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:48.369
That's how she rolls. But in reality, we all know
410
00:28:48.410 --> 00:28:52.890
the score, don't we? Everybody has been paying attention, Ghislaine.
411
00:28:54.089 --> 00:28:57.009
And your tired old tricks are not going to work.
412
00:28:57.430 --> 00:29:03.289
And neither are these BS cover stories. The staffer recalled
413
00:29:03.329 --> 00:29:06.569
an unsettling visit to Maxwell's Manhattan apartment in the early
414
00:29:07.049 --> 00:29:09.490
90s when she pulled out eight photo albums of her
415
00:29:09.549 --> 00:29:15.829
father's funeral in Israel. Eight photo albums from a funeral
416
00:29:15.869 --> 00:29:19.430
in Israel, huh? Nah, Robert Maxwell had no connections to
417
00:29:19.630 --> 00:29:23.250
anybody in intelligence. Why would he be given a state
418
00:29:23.309 --> 00:29:28.789
funeral in Israel? Ask yourselves that. Afterwards, the staffer was
419
00:29:28.869 --> 00:29:31.509
ready to jump off a bridge, but then Maxwell said
420
00:29:31.569 --> 00:29:35.549
something that surprised them. According to journalist Emily Saul, out
421
00:29:35.569 --> 00:29:38.410
of the blue, Ghislaine said her dad actually connected her
422
00:29:38.450 --> 00:29:44.299
with Epstein. Well, yeah, look, I'm glad that this podcast, Broken,
423
00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:48.240
is out there to help the unsullied and stuff. But
424
00:29:48.299 --> 00:29:50.200
those of us who have been following this for quite
425
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:52.500
some time, we were all hip to this, right? We
426
00:29:52.579 --> 00:29:56.769
all heard Maria Farmer's interviews. We've all heard everything that
427
00:29:56.809 --> 00:30:00.059
had come before her. And when you put the pieces together,
428
00:30:00.099 --> 00:30:04.789
it's quite obvious that this wasn't some love romance. This
429
00:30:04.849 --> 00:30:08.630
wasn't some situation where the two of them fell in
430
00:30:08.710 --> 00:30:12.789
love and they were skipping through a field and one
431
00:30:12.829 --> 00:30:16.990
of them was frolicking through flowers. None of that was occurring.
432
00:30:17.609 --> 00:30:26.119
This was a relationship of mutual beneficial scumbaggery. The idea
433
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:28.839
was Epstein was someone who could take care of her emotionally,
434
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:33.380
not financially. Ghislaine was very clear on that last part. Again,
435
00:30:33.619 --> 00:30:36.240
cover story in my opinion. Could I be wrong? Sure.
436
00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:39.480
Might I be out to lunch here? Maybe. But so far,
437
00:30:39.619 --> 00:30:42.279
I think my track record is pretty good of sniffing
438
00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:45.049
this sort of shit out. And I'll tell you what,
439
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:48.769
my big ol' schnoz is sniffing out some BS here.
440
00:30:50.809 --> 00:30:54.009
Others have had different theories about Maxwell and Epstein's relationship.
441
00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:59.200
Prince Andrew's cousin, Christina Oxenberg, has told DailyMail.com that she
442
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:02.059
got to know the couple in 1993 and thought that
443
00:31:02.099 --> 00:31:05.859
Maxwell wanted to marry Epstein, but he wasn't interested. Again,
444
00:31:06.180 --> 00:31:09.519
I do not buy that story. Could have Ghislaine put
445
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:12.079
on that mask and acted like the dough in love?
446
00:31:12.180 --> 00:31:14.259
Of course she could have. She was very good at that.
447
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:18.109
She's very good at manipulating the situation. But do I
448
00:31:18.180 --> 00:31:22.470
think that this was a love situation where these two
449
00:31:22.490 --> 00:31:28.650
were in love? No, I do not. Epstein's former housekeeper
450
00:31:28.690 --> 00:31:31.569
in Palm Beach, Juan Alessi, has claimed that Maxwell once
451
00:31:31.630 --> 00:31:34.950
told him, I hate him, but I can't leave. Yeah, well,
452
00:31:34.990 --> 00:31:36.910
we could take that a bunch of ways, right? The
453
00:31:36.930 --> 00:31:39.480
way I take it is, she can't leave because her
454
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:42.960
handlers haven't given her the okay to stop the operation.
455
00:31:43.940 --> 00:31:48.059
And you think Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell wielded power?
456
00:31:48.579 --> 00:31:51.259
Wait till you get a load of the intelligence agencies.
457
00:31:53.329 --> 00:31:56.849
In the podcast, Epstein survivor Maria Farmer, who claims that
458
00:31:56.970 --> 00:32:00.170
Epstein and Maxwell sexually assaulted her, said that she saw
459
00:32:00.210 --> 00:32:02.970
the recruiting operation herself when she worked for them in
460
00:32:02.990 --> 00:32:08.019
the mid-1990s. This was long before they had allegedly set
461
00:32:08.059 --> 00:32:11.000
up the pyramid of recruiters that would allegedly funnel dozens
462
00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:14.069
of women to Epstein, and it was just Ghislaine doing it.
463
00:32:14.779 --> 00:32:17.910
Farmer says that at 3 p.m. on the dot every day,
464
00:32:18.009 --> 00:32:22.109
Ghislaine would materialize on edge and was always dressed immaculately.
465
00:32:22.950 --> 00:32:25.869
From Epstein's mansion on Manhattan's Upper East Side, they could
466
00:32:25.890 --> 00:32:28.180
hear the school bells ringing for the end of the day,
467
00:32:28.539 --> 00:32:31.599
and Maxwell would get all hysterical and say, I need
468
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:35.799
to get new biles. I mean, can you imagine? Imagine
469
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:40.369
being near somebody who acted this way? I can't even
470
00:32:40.430 --> 00:32:43.109
imagine what Maria went through with these sick bastards. It's
471
00:32:43.150 --> 00:32:47.450
just unbelievable. Farmers said they would drive around the neighborhood
472
00:32:47.549 --> 00:32:50.799
and hunted children. She said Ghislaine would say, I got
473
00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:54.039
to get a model, got to get a Victoria's Secret model.
474
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:56.599
I was dumb enough to believe it. I believed it
475
00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:59.779
until I didn't. Who would think this woman would be
476
00:32:59.819 --> 00:33:03.720
a British witch? She was so nice. So the cover
477
00:33:03.769 --> 00:33:07.230
story always was for the workers that worked for Jeffrey
478
00:33:07.289 --> 00:33:10.089
Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at the townhouse, the ones that
479
00:33:10.109 --> 00:33:12.130
weren't involved. The cover story was, oh, I have to
480
00:33:12.150 --> 00:33:14.529
get a model. I'm looking for a model for Victoria's
481
00:33:14.569 --> 00:33:18.750
Secret or I'm looking for whatever, an actress or whatever
482
00:33:18.789 --> 00:33:23.089
it may be. I'd seen her go drive up half
483
00:33:23.130 --> 00:33:26.069
central park, tell the driver, stop the car. She would
484
00:33:26.130 --> 00:33:28.849
jump out. She would give a phone number. She would
485
00:33:28.910 --> 00:33:30.950
give a phone number, write it down, give it to
486
00:33:30.970 --> 00:33:35.069
the kids. Everybody always loved her because she seemed so trustworthy.
487
00:33:35.650 --> 00:33:37.609
It was pretty wild the way she would run out
488
00:33:37.650 --> 00:33:40.640
and get people. I did recognize some of the girls
489
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:42.460
we met in the park the next day when she
490
00:33:42.500 --> 00:33:45.420
came in to audition for modeling. She was really excited.
491
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:48.829
Farmer said that after seeing Epstein, a couple of them
492
00:33:48.869 --> 00:33:53.789
were crying. I don't remember seeing anyone return ever. And remember,
493
00:33:53.849 --> 00:33:56.490
Maria called the FBI on these people and the FBI
494
00:33:56.809 --> 00:34:02.170
did squants. They did nothing. Not a thing. Virginia Roberts,
495
00:34:02.369 --> 00:34:05.029
another Epstein survivor who claims she was forced to have
496
00:34:05.089 --> 00:34:08.480
sex with Prince Andrew, says that's because Maxwell looks like
497
00:34:08.500 --> 00:34:11.260
a nice Mary Poppins figure. You had to trust her.
498
00:34:12.190 --> 00:34:14.809
Maxwell was so proud of her prowess as a recruiter
499
00:34:15.070 --> 00:34:18.630
that on a trip to Paris, she chastised Roberts for
500
00:34:18.710 --> 00:34:21.530
failing at it. You had to trust her because you're
501
00:34:21.570 --> 00:34:25.679
a Mary Poppins figure. I'll tell you what, that's one
502
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:27.800
reason I'm glad that I grew up where I grew up,
503
00:34:28.059 --> 00:34:31.079
because I don't trust a soul until I can trust you.
504
00:34:31.179 --> 00:34:34.659
You get it? Until you've proven to me you're trustworthy,
505
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:37.320
I don't trust you. You're a stranger. I don't know you.
506
00:34:37.380 --> 00:34:40.469
I don't know your intentions. I'm not running around with
507
00:34:40.530 --> 00:34:43.210
my eyes closed thinking that people have good intentions for
508
00:34:43.250 --> 00:34:48.210
me because life has most certainly shown me the complete opposite.
509
00:34:50.829 --> 00:34:53.969
Robert said, she said, I just can't believe how bad
510
00:34:54.010 --> 00:34:56.510
you are at it. Pick any girl in the square.
511
00:34:56.530 --> 00:35:00.059
A pretty orange haired girl walked past. She said, I'm
512
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:02.159
going to go up to her. You watch. We're going
513
00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:05.239
to have her over tonight. Sure enough, that girl was
514
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:09.610
at the hotel that night. And this is another reason
515
00:35:09.690 --> 00:35:14.969
why I'm so adamant about Ghislaine Maxwell getting the book
516
00:35:14.989 --> 00:35:19.489
thrown at her about getting slapped with RICO charges. The
517
00:35:19.530 --> 00:35:22.690
way she brazenly went about her business, the way she
518
00:35:22.750 --> 00:35:26.510
just went after these schoolchildren is enough to make me sick.
519
00:35:28.099 --> 00:35:30.280
And then you have people who act like it was
520
00:35:30.659 --> 00:35:33.599
only the girls that we have heard from. No. No.
521
00:35:34.510 --> 00:35:38.099
Times that by 20, 30, 50, 100, whatever it may be.
522
00:35:38.420 --> 00:35:40.739
But there are so many girls who we have not
523
00:35:40.780 --> 00:35:43.940
heard from yet. Girls that have not come forward. Girls
524
00:35:43.980 --> 00:35:46.539
that might not even be with us anymore. This has
525
00:35:46.820 --> 00:35:49.119
been happening for a long time. Who the hell knows?
526
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:53.619
My point is, there are so many other people out
527
00:35:53.659 --> 00:35:58.250
there that have been victimized by Ghislaine Maxwell and her machinations.
528
00:36:04.670 --> 00:36:07.360
Ghislaine was so proud of herself because she proved to
529
00:36:07.389 --> 00:36:10.260
me I was really shitty at procuring girls, and she
530
00:36:10.300 --> 00:36:13.280
was amazing at it. There was no sorrow or even,
531
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:15.699
you're doing something wrong, you shouldn't do it. There was
532
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:17.960
nothing like that. It was just a game to her.
533
00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:20.199
And that's how it is with all these rich people, right?
534
00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:23.150
We're just pieces on a chessboard for them, basically. They
535
00:36:23.190 --> 00:36:25.809
don't give a damn about me or you or anybody else.
536
00:36:26.309 --> 00:36:29.349
All of these clowns, all of these politicians, all of
537
00:36:29.409 --> 00:36:32.550
these shitbirds that get up on their ivory tower... and
538
00:36:32.610 --> 00:36:35.440
talk about how much they care about the people, huh?
539
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:42.960
That's this whole entire so-called polite society. Maxwell stayed in
540
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:46.059
Epstein's orbit until after he was investigated by Palm Beach
541
00:36:46.099 --> 00:36:50.039
police in 2005 and later agreed to a sweetheart plea
542
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:52.900
deal under which he served just 15 months in prison.
543
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:56.719
Robert said that Maxwell caught when there was trouble, adding
544
00:36:56.760 --> 00:37:00.519
that Ghislaine only cares about one thing, and that's Ghislaine. Huh,
545
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:02.579
where else have you guys heard that, huh? How long
546
00:37:02.619 --> 00:37:07.250
have I been preaching that here on this podcast? Ghislaine
547
00:37:07.289 --> 00:37:11.750
Maxwell only cares about herself, only cares about consolidating her power,
548
00:37:12.030 --> 00:37:14.530
and only cares about making sure she's not the one
549
00:37:14.570 --> 00:37:17.269
left twisting in the wind. So if you were friends
550
00:37:17.329 --> 00:37:21.190
with Ghislaine Maxwell, if you were cavorting with Ghislaine Maxwell,
551
00:37:21.510 --> 00:37:26.530
if you were having private vegetarian dinners with Ghislaine Maxwell,
552
00:37:28.010 --> 00:37:31.969
you should be on notice that your number might be
553

What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
559
00:38:04.059 --> 00:38:08.579
Journalist and author John Sweeney has recently released a book
560
00:38:08.659 --> 00:38:12.320
about Ghislaine Maxwell. And today we're going to talk about
561
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:15.130
that book a little bit, and talk about the review
562
00:38:15.170 --> 00:38:19.030
of that book that The Telegraph has put out. So,
563
00:38:19.369 --> 00:38:25.150
let's get to it. Headline, Hunting Galane Review, Queasy Biography
564
00:38:25.230 --> 00:38:29.860
of an Abuser Who Saw Sex as Currency. John Sweeney's
565
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:34.780
new book sheds fresh light on Maxwell's servile, abusive relationship
566
00:38:34.820 --> 00:38:38.789
with her father, but its prose will make you cringe. Now,
567
00:38:38.869 --> 00:38:41.710
I haven't read this book yet. I'll probably grab it
568
00:38:41.789 --> 00:38:44.199
off of Audible and get to it in the next
569
00:38:44.260 --> 00:38:46.719
few weeks as I try to do with most of
570
00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:49.679
these books that come out covering this topic. So I
571
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.400
don't have much to offer in the way of personal
572
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:55.869
experience as far as reading the book yet. But I
573
00:38:55.909 --> 00:39:00.389
found this review to be relatively interesting. This article was
574
00:39:00.469 --> 00:39:06.480
authored by Mick Brown. With Ghislaine Maxwell now confined to
575
00:39:06.539 --> 00:39:10.679
a cell in Florida's Tallahassee Federal Correctional Institute, serving a
576
00:39:10.739 --> 00:39:14.360
sentence of 20 years for conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to
577
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:17.559
sexually abuse minors, and with the names of those wealthy
578
00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:21.210
and powerful men to whom, it is alleged, Epstein peddled
579
00:39:21.250 --> 00:39:25.469
sexual favors still waiting disclosure, comes yet another chapter in
580
00:39:25.489 --> 00:39:29.869
this most horrific saga. Well, that's pretty much spot on.
581
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:33.920
Horrific saga, for sure. She definitely has some names that
582
00:39:33.980 --> 00:39:37.260
nobody is aware of or that people need confirmation of.
583
00:39:37.889 --> 00:39:41.409
The question is, would she ever play ball? And so far,
584
00:39:41.449 --> 00:39:44.170
it certainly seems like the answer to that question is no.
585
00:39:45.769 --> 00:39:49.750
Hunting Ghislaine by the investigative journalist John Sweeney is based
586
00:39:49.809 --> 00:39:54.269
on Sweeney's popular 2020 podcast of the same name. It's
587
00:39:54.329 --> 00:39:58.510
a story with which we are all familiar, overly familiar perhaps,
588
00:39:58.989 --> 00:40:02.840
but while Sweeney draws copiously on the extensive reporting done
589
00:40:02.860 --> 00:40:06.420
by others, his book carefully researched and written in a
590
00:40:06.460 --> 00:40:10.460
breezy journalese casts a new light on the complex character
591
00:40:10.860 --> 00:40:15.570
of Ghislaine Maxwell and her fateful relationship with Epstein and
592
00:40:15.630 --> 00:40:18.449
her father. So my guess is we're going to rehash
593
00:40:18.489 --> 00:40:22.199
a bunch of old territory here, maybe get some, you know,
594
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:25.940
new information, a tidbit here or there, some insight. But
595
00:40:25.980 --> 00:40:29.400
the overall story is what it is. There is no
596
00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:33.219
excuse under this sun for Maxwell to engage in the
597
00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:41.739
abuse that she engaged in. Robert Maxwell was untamable, dangerous, unpredictable,
598
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:47.460
with power over all he surveyed. Physically huge, brutal, narcissistic,
599
00:40:47.500 --> 00:40:50.500
and sadistic, he was hated by almost everybody he came
600
00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:54.260
into contact with, except for the youngest of his nine children, Ghislaine,
601
00:40:54.699 --> 00:40:58.449
whom he apparently adored, but not enough to restrain his
602
00:40:58.489 --> 00:41:02.210
bullying and frequent beatings. Look, some people are just like that.
603
00:41:02.789 --> 00:41:05.889
There are some people out there who shouldn't have children.
604
00:41:06.769 --> 00:41:09.510
And if you're going to abuse your children, you, my friend,
605
00:41:09.630 --> 00:41:11.829
are one of those people. And it seems like Robert
606
00:41:11.869 --> 00:41:18.980
Maxwell was an abusive dickhead. Sweeney offers fresh light here.
607
00:41:19.300 --> 00:41:23.360
We think of Ghislaine as Maxwell's spoiled favorite, which she was.
608
00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:26.960
Yet at the same time, he treated her appallingly. Nothing
609
00:41:27.019 --> 00:41:29.780
was too good for her, but nothing she did would
610
00:41:29.820 --> 00:41:33.570
ever be good enough for him. Her adoration seems almost
611
00:41:34.210 --> 00:41:37.949
Stockholm Syndrome-like. It is clear that Ghislaine was damaged long
612
00:41:37.989 --> 00:41:41.250
before her father toppled off the back of his 180-foot
613
00:41:41.409 --> 00:41:47.010
luxury yacht. The Lady Ghislaine, serendipitously avoiding the revelation that
614
00:41:47.030 --> 00:41:52.349
he had been embezzling £ 460 million from the Mira pension scheme.
615
00:41:52.889 --> 00:41:58.190
And again, another coincidental... suicide, if you will, surrounding the
616
00:41:58.250 --> 00:42:00.929
Maxwell-Epstein story. Now, am I going to sit here and
617
00:42:00.969 --> 00:42:04.170
tell you that Robert Maxwell didn't take a topple off
618
00:42:04.190 --> 00:42:06.269
of that boat? No, I'm not. I don't know I
619
00:42:06.309 --> 00:42:09.610
wasn't there. But it sure seems a bit suspect to
620
00:42:09.650 --> 00:42:13.900
me that on the evening, basically, of him being outed
621
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:18.139
as embezzling this money, he happens to, quote-unquote, fall while
622
00:42:18.179 --> 00:42:21.440
he's taking a whiz off the side of his boat. Okay,
623
00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:29.829
I guess. Reading Sweeney's description of her hopelessly servile, horribly
624
00:42:29.889 --> 00:42:32.789
abusive relationship with her father, it is hard not to
625
00:42:32.849 --> 00:42:36.699
feel some sympathy for her. A sentiment quickly extinguished when
626
00:42:36.739 --> 00:42:40.079
you consider that she has shown no sympathy nor remorse
627
00:42:40.420 --> 00:42:43.059
for the young girl she pimped on Epstein's behalf. You
628
00:42:43.099 --> 00:42:46.039
mean abused on Epstein's behalf, right? I'm not going to
629
00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:48.469
give her the out by saying, oh, she's just the pimp.
630
00:42:48.829 --> 00:42:51.750
That's not what she was. That would infer that these
631
00:42:51.789 --> 00:42:55.460
women were being sold. They weren't being sold. Jeffrey Epstein
632
00:42:55.500 --> 00:42:59.780
was providing this quote-unquote service, if you will, so that
633
00:42:59.900 --> 00:43:04.260
he could get information from these encounters. So it wasn't
634
00:43:04.300 --> 00:43:07.349
like Heidi Fleiss. You couldn't pick up the phone and
635
00:43:07.369 --> 00:43:09.469
call Jeffrey Epstein and be like, hey, send me your
636
00:43:09.489 --> 00:43:15.489
girl for $ 1. 50. That wasn't what he was doing. Sweeney
637
00:43:15.530 --> 00:43:19.460
explores the theories about Epstein having laundered Robert Maxwell's ill-gotten
638
00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:22.639
gains without ever getting to the bottom of it. But
639
00:43:22.679 --> 00:43:25.260
it seems clear that Ghislaine knew Epstein or of him
640
00:43:25.539 --> 00:43:27.800
before she flew to New York in the wake of
641
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:32.550
her father's death. She became Epstein's lover and the manager
642
00:43:32.590 --> 00:43:36.369
of his various homes, although they never cohabitated. He had
643
00:43:36.409 --> 00:43:39.519
his mansion and she had the mansion he bought for her.
644
00:43:40.650 --> 00:43:43.570
The whole thing about her not knowing Epstein until she
645
00:43:43.610 --> 00:43:47.340
got to New York is a bunch of bubkis. They
646
00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:50.679
knew each other. Now, were they intimately friendly? I don't know.
647
00:43:50.980 --> 00:43:54.130
But they certainly knew who each other were and of
648
00:43:54.190 --> 00:44:00.349
each other. In a sense, they were made for each other.
649
00:44:00.909 --> 00:44:03.230
He was the powerful male figure and key to a
650
00:44:03.250 --> 00:44:06.070
life of luxury that she had lost when Robert Maxwell
651
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:10.119
went overboard. She had a Rolodex of connections, not least
652
00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:14.090
Prince Andrew, who could provide the shady financier, pedophile, with
653
00:44:14.150 --> 00:44:18.809
a veneer of social respectability and cachet. That's what he
654
00:44:18.849 --> 00:44:21.969
was looking for. That's certainly part of it. He wanted
655
00:44:21.989 --> 00:44:25.210
to be accepted in all of those circles. And he
656
00:44:25.269 --> 00:44:27.909
knew that his money alone wouldn't get him there. And
657
00:44:27.949 --> 00:44:30.860
he couldn't connive his way there. So he needed the
658
00:44:30.909 --> 00:44:34.719
vehicle to get into these social circles. And that was
659
00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:40.699
Ghislaine Maxwell. Then, there was the shared interest in sex. Epstein,
660
00:44:41.059 --> 00:44:44.320
as Donald Trump observed, had a widely known enthusiasm for
661
00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:47.559
young girls. According to one visitor, there was only one
662
00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:50.949
book on view on his home, the Marquis de Sade's
663
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:54.650
The Misfortune of Virtue. And I'm sure most of you
664
00:44:54.730 --> 00:44:58.849
are familiar with the Marquis de Sade and his writings.
665
00:44:59.309 --> 00:45:01.869
Probably not the only book you'd want hanging out on
666
00:45:01.889 --> 00:45:08.889
the shelf. Ghislaine was a partying girl. vivacious, fun, and
667
00:45:08.929 --> 00:45:13.030
in Sweeney's words, sexed up big time. Perhaps carried away
668
00:45:13.110 --> 00:45:17.039
by the tawdryness of the subject matter, Sweeney's writing can
669
00:45:17.099 --> 00:45:20.840
sometimes veer alarmingly to a sort of Mickey Spillane redux.
670
00:45:21.380 --> 00:45:27.539
Kevin Maxwell's spirited wife, Pandora, is described as his ballsy squeeze. Hey, look,
671
00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:31.639
a little flowery wordplay is never a bad idea for
672
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:33.219
a book. At the end of the day, you have
673
00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:35.760
to entertain. If you're writing a book, people have to
674
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:41.409
be entertained by it. One female acquaintance recalls a party
675
00:45:41.449 --> 00:45:45.190
at Robert Maxwell's posh council house, Headington Hall, rented from
676
00:45:45.210 --> 00:45:48.670
the local authority, where Ghislaine organized a game of guess-whos,
677
00:45:49.190 --> 00:45:51.909
in which the men would be blindfolded and the women
678
00:45:52.230 --> 00:45:55.820
remove their bras to be fondled and groped. Ghislaine says
679
00:45:56.179 --> 00:45:59.710
she saw sex simply as a currency. Another puts it
680
00:45:59.750 --> 00:46:03.090
more bluntly saying she was obsessed. And there's been a
681
00:46:03.090 --> 00:46:06.349
lot of stories about this instance and that game that
682
00:46:06.409 --> 00:46:09.590
she allegedly set up and how uncomfortable it made some people.
683
00:46:09.929 --> 00:46:12.679
But my guess is a lot of people weren't uncomfortable
684
00:46:12.739 --> 00:46:15.760
by it because a lot of people share her proclivities.
685
00:46:16.380 --> 00:46:18.460
They might not be outed yet, but there's a lot
686
00:46:18.500 --> 00:46:20.639
of sick people out there, folks. And a lot of
687
00:46:20.659 --> 00:46:28.320
them are in so-called polite society. Puritanism sickens the soul,
688
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:32.059
Sweeney writes, purse-lipped. And I am no Puritan, but the
689
00:46:32.139 --> 00:46:37.039
evidence is clear that Ghislaine's sexuality was charged. Unusually so.
690
00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:39.969
And under most circumstances, I don't care if you want
691
00:46:39.989 --> 00:46:42.030
to be a sexual person. You want to go out
692
00:46:42.070 --> 00:46:44.329
and you want to have sex with people? That's your business.
693
00:46:44.369 --> 00:46:46.750
What do I care? As long as people are consenting.
694
00:46:48.050 --> 00:46:50.570
But that's what we're talking about here, right? A bunch
695
00:46:50.610 --> 00:46:56.179
of girls who didn't consent. In New York, under Epstein's sway,
696
00:46:56.420 --> 00:47:00.139
she would go on hunting expeditions for adolescent girls, ostensibly
697
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:03.119
to audition them as models. I've got to go get
698
00:47:03.139 --> 00:47:07.050
the newbiles, she told one of Epstein's employees, meaning Maria Farmer.
699
00:47:07.329 --> 00:47:10.349
Maria Farmer told us all about the newbiles and what
700
00:47:10.369 --> 00:47:14.750
Ghislaine Maxwell used to say to her. A number of
701
00:47:14.789 --> 00:47:18.070
girls subsequently turned up at his house, wearing school uniforms
702
00:47:18.110 --> 00:47:22.820
and braces on their teeth. Sweeney methodically chronicles the steps
703
00:47:22.860 --> 00:47:26.880
of grooming, spotting the victim as being vulnerable, unstable, from
704
00:47:26.940 --> 00:47:30.190
a broken home. The friendly approach, the offer of a
705
00:47:30.250 --> 00:47:35.050
job advancement or simply ready cash. The seemingly innocent suggestion
706
00:47:35.090 --> 00:47:39.150
of giving Epstein a massage, the ensuing abuse and entrapment.
707
00:47:39.530 --> 00:47:41.719
And that's how it all worked out. You go over there,
708
00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:44.090
it starts out with a massage. Before you know it,
709
00:47:44.119 --> 00:47:46.179
you're caught up in the web and you're not only
710
00:47:46.219 --> 00:47:49.199
being abused, you're bringing your friends over to be abused
711
00:47:49.260 --> 00:47:53.920
as well. Sweeney theorizes that like a cult victim, just
712
00:47:54.019 --> 00:47:56.639
as Ghislaine could never bring herself to believe her father
713
00:47:56.679 --> 00:48:00.739
was the monster, he probably was. So she blinded herself
714
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:04.639
to Epstein's depravity, even as she became a willing accomplice
715
00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:07.139
to it. I don't see it that way. Sorry. No way.
716
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:09.780
She knew exactly what she was doing and she did
717
00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:14.519
it with all the gusto in the world. A former
718
00:48:14.579 --> 00:48:17.639
acquaintance sees it differently, observing that Ghislaine would not be
719
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:21.610
the first woman who possesses sexual picadillo of sharing women
720
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:25.269
with her boyfriend. Underlying all of that was her libertarian
721
00:48:25.590 --> 00:48:28.650
sexual appetites. That played a lot into it. She had
722
00:48:28.670 --> 00:48:31.739
her own proclivities, there's no doubt. There's no doubt about it.
723
00:48:35.829 --> 00:48:37.840
The book has the feeling of being written in a hurry.
724
00:48:38.199 --> 00:48:42.159
The structure is frequently haphazard. It is poorly edited. The
725
00:48:42.199 --> 00:48:45.989
breezy tone begins to grate. In a list of scientists
726
00:48:46.030 --> 00:48:50.260
courted by Epstein, who was apparently interested in cryogenics and
727
00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:53.980
wanted his brain and penis frozen, Stephen Hawking is described
728
00:48:54.059 --> 00:48:58.099
as the late great astronomer, Oliver Sacks as the brain boffin.
729
00:48:58.739 --> 00:49:02.179
Both men attended parties thrown by Epstein, where the knapes
730
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:06.230
were handed out by stunningly beautiful models out of a catalogue.
731
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:09.980
Pondering why the boffins allowed themselves to be courted by
732
00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:14.469
such a transparent chancer as Epstein, Sweeney writes, Prudently adding,
733
00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:23.800
that any of the stellar intellects committed any wrongdoing. Well,
734
00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:26.960
except for the ones that Virginia has pointed to. How
735
00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:30.619
about those guys? Probably a few questions to ask them.
736
00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:37.159
Sweeney's strengths as a reporter show themselves in his account
737
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:41.079
of Maxwell's trial, forensically detailing the abuse that occurred at
738
00:49:41.260 --> 00:49:45.280
Epstein's numerous properties, the degree of her complicity in the crimes,
739
00:49:45.739 --> 00:49:48.989
and the cruelty in her denials, effectively making the victim
740
00:49:49.050 --> 00:49:53.210
suffer twice over and having to relive their abuse in court.
741
00:49:54.250 --> 00:49:57.170
Maxwell refused to take the stand in her defense, telling
742
00:49:57.210 --> 00:49:59.530
the judge that the case against her had not been
743
00:49:59.570 --> 00:50:03.530
proved beyond a reasonable doubt. The truth, Sweeney writes, is
744
00:50:03.570 --> 00:50:06.519
she knew she would be ripped to shreds. That's a fact.
745
00:50:06.619 --> 00:50:08.380
She knew that if she got up there, she would
746
00:50:08.420 --> 00:50:16.389
be absolutely hammered and absolutely destroyed by the prosecution. Among
747
00:50:16.409 --> 00:50:19.289
the wealth of evidence presented to the court was the
748
00:50:19.329 --> 00:50:22.650
Palm Beach Etiquette Manual, including a list of toiletries that
749
00:50:22.730 --> 00:50:26.550
Epstein insisted his staff kept in stock. One item catches
750
00:50:26.590 --> 00:50:31.579
the eye. Burberry Baby Touch Soothing Massage Oil. Somehow, nothing
751
00:50:31.619 --> 00:50:36.119
quite encapsulates the full horror of what Epstein did and
752
00:50:36.179 --> 00:50:40.360
Maxwell's part in it more than the thought of that. Well,
753
00:50:40.610 --> 00:50:44.849
that is a review from The Telegraph on the new
754
00:50:44.929 --> 00:50:47.690
John Sweeney book. Now, I haven't read it myself, like
755
00:50:47.730 --> 00:50:50.590
I said, but I plan on reading it very soon.
756
00:50:51.030 --> 00:50:52.739
So there you have it, folks. If you're looking for
757
00:50:52.780 --> 00:50:55.679
some more information, you want to gobble down another book,
758
00:50:56.480 --> 00:50:59.420
there's one for you. As for me, that's going to
759
