Part 3 of 4
Okay, so Okay, let's just set this in time and place.
The feds... basically Protecting Jeffrey Epstein... in 2007 ish
that's the Bush administration. And it clearly this is a very high profile thing.
It was in the papers... DOJ, this is their, you know, Acosta is a U.S. attorney.
He's the federal prosecutor in Southern District of Florida. Correct. So... what does DOJ think of this?
Like, why are they involved in it? I mean, involved in like the cover... up?
I think, you know, that's, that's the interesting question. I go back to the question I asked earlier. Like...
a U.S. attorney is pretty high up. You know, he's running the Southern District of Florida's U.S. attorney's office. That guy,
there's not that many people above his head. You can tell him to drop a case like this. I mean, you got to think about it like this too.
I mean, this is a career case for a prosecutor like Acosta. I mean, you're going to be Attorney General behind this
case someday. You know, you talk billionaire playboy putting him away for his entire life because he's sexually abusing
underage girls for years and years. I mean, you're gonna, this makes your whole career. And so to drop that,
there's only a couple people and a couple reasons that somebody like him would agree, would agree to do that. You know, and, and
there are people whose names we've all heard probably, you know, I think Alberto, was it Gonzalez, who was Attorney General at the time.
And I mean, it's only a few people who could do that. You know, one of the things might add something to do with it is
in when, before Jeffrey Epstein was sentenced, for whatever reason, you have this billionaire who's just the definition of a flight risk.
They don't take his passport away. And before he's sentenced, he, he goes, he flees, he flees the country, goes to Israel,
stays there for several months, moved all his money offshore by this point, and while he's in Israel, he,
he's, he's telling people there that he's thinking about staying because you can actually, you can actually do that.
They don't extradite, you know, Jewish criminals at least who, who flee to Israel. There's a,
there's an organization called Jewish Community Watch, which is a Jewish organization that tracks
pedophiles who have fled the United States to go to Israel, where there's no, no extradition of Jewish criminals there.
And between just the years, I think it was 2010 when they started, when they opened up in 2016, 2017,
when this story was written, so a period of six years, there were already 60 pedophiles from the United States that had fled to
Israel and were living freely there. Some of them had reoffended there and got thrown in Israeli jails. But
it, so this is a thing, you know, and Jeffrey Epstein was over there why Doesn't the US Government demand... the government
of Israel send them back? I, I mean.
you've been self employed for a while, but when you weren't, was it your habit to go to your boss and make demands of them on a regular basis?
I don't know. I mean, since when do we ever make demands on Israel? It's been a long time. I don't, I don't know. But I, I,
you know, that's obviously distressing. So, okay, so there's clearly a cover up at the very beginning.
And I just want to say, again, I think that's one, not the totality of, but one of the reasons we don't have this information now is
because DOJ doesn't have the info. Can I tie up that last point real quick just a second? So
him being in Israel and at least having the threat of staying there, you know, that may have played a role in him cutting his deal because
that's when his deal, he's already been charged at this point, he's awaiting sentencing, he's been convicted? and they don't take his passport
and he. wait he's been convicted. And he leaves the country. Correct. And
his plea deal or. Well, so. No, no, let me back that up. His plea deal
was negotiated while he was out of the country because he didn't fight the, he didn't fight the charges.
It wasn't, it didn't go to, you know, go to trial, to a jury trial or anything... He was out of the country and his lawyers could credibly go to the DOJ
Say that is special treatment. Did any of the J6 defendants get treatment? No, I don't think so. That's what's infuriating about all this.
Leaving aside, you know, a lot of other elements that are upsetting, but the most infuriating is just the...
two tiers or multi tier system of justice. This is something that people I think have not, maybe even at the highest levels. When I read
President Trump's true socials about it, things like that, that people are just, they don't seem to be understanding
is this isn't about some guy that sexually assaulted a bunch of girls like Jeffrey Epstein, for better or for worse.
has become a proxy for other things. You know, can I interrupt you to... say, our
faithful and gifted researcher has just held up a note saying... ACOSTA apparently Alex Acosta...
has said, and this is... different from what I described. that he never said...
that Epstein was, was connected to intelligence. So that is not my understanding. So he was asked about it at a press conference and he
essentially refused to answer... He said, you know, that's, he said, I wouldn't take those media reports at face value.
And beyond that, Department of Justice policy, you know, kind of forbids me from going any further into that. And then there was another, there was an ABC News report.
And this is kind of an example of how this stuff gets out into the public mind. There was an abc. Yeah, it was ABC News report
was talking about his DOJ deal back then. And. and they said that
in the story, they said that the DOJ had, had stated that he had no connections to intelligence.
But when you actually go read the documents, that's not what was asked at all. The question was not whether he had any connections to intelligence.
The question was whether he was given leniency because of cooperation that he was giving to the FBI and DOJ
on cases related to Bear Stearns. And they said no to that. And it got written up in... the news as
him saying he had no connection to the intelligence community, which is not true. The lying is like overwhelming.
Yeah. And so just so everybody understands here, I mean this is a guy
who again, over 40 on the record witnesses, most of them underage, corroborating each other's stories independently of this guy sexually
assaulting underage girls for years. He gets this non prosecution agreement with
the federal government... in perpetuity. Him and all of his accomplices known and unknown for crimes,
known and unknown. And it gets sent down to the state level and he agrees to a two year term
in, down there in southern Florida. Not at, not in a federal prison, not in a state prison,
at the county jail where he has. It sounds like I'm making this up. I'm not... He has his own wing
of the jail to himself. His cell door remains open. He gets out on work release...
for 12 hours a day, six days a week. accompanied only by security that he pays the salary of.
He only has to stay the night there six days a week and then spend one day a week there in the jail. So, you know,
so it's like the National Guard. Yeah. And again, you're not talking about a guy who got busted embezzling funds,
you know, you're talking about a guy who got busted doing the thing that if you were to poll
every American, I believe, and ask them what's the worst thing what is the worst thing that anybody can do that you would,
you know, you're against the death penalty that you might make an exception for? It's molesting little children. You know,
everybody kind of agrees that that is the red line. Everybody feels that way, that I know that you know, that everybody listening to this knows...
And so you ask, like, what are the possible reasons that could be big enough and important enough
that they would let a guy like this have a. I mean, it's insulting to the investigators, to the police,
to the prosecutors to give a guy a deal like that, you know. And can I say one thing that has always struck me about this case
and why I think it's like revealing of the entire power structure in the United States.
Epstein. And there was testimony from... public testimony... from women who lived with Epstein to this effect.
His contempt for Americans, sort of normal middle class, working class Americans.
He did not see them as fully human. He didn't and at all. So it's like molesting,
you know, a high school girl... from housing development or a trailer park in South Florida doesn't really count
as molestings because she's a pro . Like, who cares?.. And that attitude suffuses our leadership class.
Like that is their answer. 100,000 people die of fentanyl ODs. Yeah, but I mean, people,
you know what I mean? Like, it's sad, but it's not an emergency because. Because they're like people you would never meet and you don't really care about
is building their dollar store in their town and like nobody cares about them... He really had that attitude, but that's the attitude they all have.
He had justification for having that attitude in terms of his, the impunity with which he operated. And this is actually something...
I was hoping we would get to because all this stuff is super intelligent, interesting and important, all the intelligent stuff and everything.
And if you want like, like all the deep, deep, deep detail on that stuff, I did a six hour long podcast series on it.
Guys like Mike Benz, Ryan Dawson's one of the chief researchers who's really done a lot of the work that people who write books about the nation being
under blackmail and so forth, like, crib this guy's research without crediting him, you know. but.
And I'm gonna, I'm actually gonna interview him next week just to go really deep on a lot of the,
a lot of the, the stuff that we're not able to get here to here tonight.
you know, the thing I want to, I really want to Kind of maybe the question that...
I want to leave people with as we get into the last part of this conversation. You say that like, so when Epstein was, was convicted
in 2000, that, that the, the 2000s case, this was in the newspapers. This was not something, you know, you might,
if you were watching the football game, you might not have ever heard about it, but if you were... a wealthy person...
in Washington D.C. or New York City or West Palm Beach, Florida, you knew who Jeffrey Epstein was and you knew...
what had happened to him and you knew what he had done. His private plane... was nicknamed the Lolita Express.
Lolita is a novel written by Nabokov about a guy, based on a true story, actually about a guy who takes a 12 year old girl,
kidnaps her and takes her on a kind of odyssey across the country, raping her over the course of those two years.
It's a novel about child molestation. It's a novel about child molestation. And his airplane was nicknamed the Lolita Express.
It was not given that nickname by him, it was given that nickname by other people. Other people
knew who this guy was. They knew what he was doing... And so the question then that I really had to wrestle with for a long time,
and I have an answer that satisfies me... now and it relates to what you were. The point you were just making about our ruling class.
You know, if, if Tucker, if I. If literally any one of my male friends or family members,
any of. if we got invited to go somewhere on some dude's plane
and you walk onto that plane and... as soon as you get... in the air, five or six underage girls who are not related to him come out in their
underwear and start offering massages. My responses to that are gonna vary between,
like, which level of criminal... action am I gonna take against this guy? Am I gonna beat him senseless?
Am I gonna throw him out of this flying plane? You know, those are basically the range of outcomes in that situation.
And that's true for... almost everybody... That almost everybody watching this knows. And so regular people hear about this now.
They almost have trouble believing that it's possible because they don't know anybody who would have such a cavalier reaction.
They don't know anybody who would. Oh, I know a lot of people, so. So yeah,
that's why I think it's important to go over. And I don't want to get into like the conspiracy theory side of this stuff that,
that's not as important to me, honestly. But I'm sure you need to. I think we've progressed We've been here an hour and 57 minutes and I think that
from what I can tell, I'm sort of familiar, not with a lot of what you said, but the framework I get.
I don't think you've said anything that's speculative, have you? I've tried not to. Okay, so the story
just... based on available facts, which are a minority of all facts about it, but just what we have, it's like
it's a true indictment. You remember back when the Podesta emails came out and the whole Pizzagate thing
took over the Internet for a while, you know, every dark corner, the Reddit and everything else was all this,
this satanic pedophile conspiracy, you know, etc, called Pizzagate. Again, I'm not going to get into the conspiracy theory itself.
I'm just going to use it to raise a larger point about what we're talking about here. The interesting thing to me about that whole saga
was not the idea that there's some big crazy conspiracy involving the. Just any of that stuff. That's just whatever. That's what the Internet does with information like that.
The interesting thing to me was... the things that were just 100 percent fact, the bits and pieces of the story that they were using
to construct that narrative, the pieces themselves are really interesting... One of the first things that came up
is people started digging into those on Reddit and everywhere else and really going into it. One of the things is everybody remembers hearing about spirit cooking.
You know, the performance artist Marina Abramovic did this event that the Podestas were invited to and apparently enjoyed
very much called spirit cooking. And what, pray tell, is spirit cooking? Tucker? It... It was a performance...
art piece, a dinner event where the attendees would go and
sit in rooms with... white walls and eat meals off of mock corpses in tubs of blood with
weird creepy messages about cutting the finger on your left hand and eating the pain and
drinking fresh breast milk with fresh sperm milk on earthquake nights. All these crazy edgelord art school,
you know, things that are kind of just embarrassing, but, you know, these weird cryptic sayings written in goat's blood on the walls.
In one room, there's an effigy of an infant with a bucket of goats and... blood thrown all over it.
There's another room where there's a bunch of shelves with little figures... put in positions of various positions of copulation.
You know, there's photos from these events that Abramovich would put on. You know,
Lady Gaga's there eating off of one of these mock corpses. Gwen Stefani's at one of them. And, you know, they're there at these places where.
you know, forget about, you know, people want to say, oh, this is a satanic ritual. Forget about all that. Forget about all that.
Just think about, like, if this was your friend or your brother, your sister, and they went to this thing, you be, or they brought you to this thing,
you'd be like. what are we doing here? What is this? Exactly. Right. And so the next thing came out.
Wouldn't you run immediately? again, You would. I would. Everybody we know would.
And Tony and Heather Podesta went to this Well, I don't know if Heather did or not, but he and John did.
And so Tony's a, a big art collector. Okay. No, I'm aware. Yeah, I knew his wife.
Yeah. And his, his art collection became a big part of the whole pizza gate. This is like right in my neighborhood, by the way, where I live.
So, so weird. You know, Tony Podesta's taste in art became a big part of that whole Pizzagate story.
And it's one of those things that, again, when you, when you have gaps to fill in a story and just pieces of information,
you're not getting any explanations from anybody that make any sense, explaining it to you in a way that's plausible...
That's how conspiracy theories grow like mold. If something like that is going on in your city, if like some of the most powerful people in your city are participating
in something like that, I don't need to know anymore. I literally don't need to know anymore. Like, that's just...
I told you earlier that I, I made the point of going and buying the copy of Architectural
Digest in Washington, Life magazine that profiled his apartment and his art collection.
And on the walls in the photographs in these magazines, okay.
there's a lot of different art there, but like the most prominent ones that are, one's a mural size centerpiece of a room.
The others are poster size, like big, important, prominent pieces that he's got out for everybody to see
are by a Serbian artist named Billiana Djurjevic. And they're part of a series of paintings that,
according to the artist's... own interviews, are based on explorations of child molestation,
sexual assault, and just childhood trauma and abuse in general. And it is, you know.
there are a lot of paintings in the series, but the ones that show up in the magazine piece, for example, one,
the great big mural one, is a bunch of young girls, they look like maybe teenagers, 12 year olds or something,
who are lying in a circle it's called Synchronized Swimming is the name of the painting lying in a circle
in, at the bottom of like a, like a tiled room or something. And they all have this spaced out, kind of dead...
drugged out look in their eyes and some of them have black eyes and they're just playing there. And so I don't want to be
Ruled by people like this. Well, so let me just keep this get so much worse. Oh, you're upsetting me because I lived in this world for so long and I
intentionally ignored this and I. But now that you are describing it, I'm like, I can't even believe I was in the same...
county as people like that. I would look if I was, if I was into
art that featured tied up pubescent, pre pubescent children in their underwear by an artist...
that, that says this is all about... child sexual assaults. What this series of pain of paintings is about.
If I was into that. I would at least take it all down. Before company came over...
These were rooms that he threw his parties in, he invited people over to. I would definitely take them down before architectural digestion.
But if you were into them like being, just be clear. Being into something like that... means that you are on an evil path.
That's, that's evil. I don't know what to say. Like, like an image like that. It's, it's also obvious now that I have distance from it.
There's. He was asked in an interview... about some of his favorite artists. One of them that he,
he listed was a woman named Patricia Piccinini who does, I guess sculptures, you would say, I don't know if they're clay sculptures, whatever, but.
And they're That's bad. really grotesque images of you know, a small girl standing up on her bed,
maybe five years old with this demon thing with its claws around her, kind of leering at her...
There's one with this sort of weird pig monster spooning this little boy in his bed with pustules on its back.
There's a lot of... mouths that look like sphincters and vaginas and the kids are playing with them.
It's all very suggestive, weird surrealist horror movie kind of sexually tint... slanted stuff...
Listed her as one of his favorite artists. Another one that he listed was a woman named Kim Noble.
And I'll stop. can I tell you, You're upsetting me. And because you're describing Tony Podesta who is the,
you know, brother of the former White House chief of staff, two time chief of staff John Podesta.
But Tony Podesta is the most powerful Democratic lobbyist in Washington. This is not some fringe character. It's not a homeless guy,
not even some like, eccentric rich guy. This is a person who's at the center... of the Democratic establishment for decades,
for my whole life there. And his wife is, you know, they've since divorced, but she's like.
I mean, look, pull up a picture of those two on Google and just look at it and ask yourself, is that
like, how brainwashed would you have to be not to see there's something really wrong there? Really wrong. Like deep learning, spiritually wrong?
I'm not trying to be judgmental or cruel. I'm just, I don't understand how that could exist at the very center of power in Washington D.C.
that's like a. I just feel it so deeply. Well, this gets to the, to the question that we're trying to answer here.
Like, so another artist that he named is one of his favorites was a British woman named Kim Noble. And
I don't think I could pull it up on my phone and show that to the audience right now without
getting this video banned. Kim Noble was a woman who was violently, sexually assaulted...
countless times between the ages of 1 and 3. It... shattered her mind. She has dissociative identity disorder,
what we used to call multiple personality disorder. And several of these personalities are
artists. And they, the, the art is something that like a four or five year old would do. It's scribbled stick figures and everything...
But it is the most grotesque depictions of adults sexually abusing children that you can think of.
However bad you think it is, it's worse. And so, and this was another woman that, that, that was named as a, that he was a fan of.
And so I just think to myself of this millionaire lobbyist... in D.C. and his friends, the biggest Democratic lobbyist,
saying, you know, what do you think about the artist Kim Noble? It's like, oh, I think the, you know,
the image with the demon having the little girl feeling her while another demon urinates on her is just fascinating in its use of color.
I mean. it's what you just. Who are these people? Well, so that's what I didn't understand.
So I at the time, living near the, in the middle of all this, I lived right down the road from Comet Pizza.
I knew David Brock and James Elephantis, and I'm not well, but like, like they're in the. I disapproved...
They're liberals, they're Democrats, whatever. I'm not gonna have dinner with them. But I assumed the art stuff, and I knew the Podestas,
I assumed that was just like, douchey, pretentious... They're like townies. They don't, you know, they made all this money,
they're pretending to be sophisticated. They're. They have terrible taste. Of course, this is like my thinking, my, I'll just admit it,
kind of snobbish view of it. I didn't or couldn't or refused to or whatever,
face the obvious reality that's just hitting me right now right in the face, hard.
That's evil. That's just evil... And what I thought was gauche is satanic in a.
Strictly speaking, I mean, whether they're like, you know, part of some organized Church of Satan or whatever,
I don't even know if that exists... in real life. But certainly obedience to Satan exists, and that's what that is.
And And maybe just as interesting, because that's just one person. There's a lot of people who have strange proclivities and weird interests.
Right, Fine. But he's at the center of the city. A, he's at the center of power, but B, again.
what is the culture of this place... that he would feel comfortable inviting magazine photographers over to take pictures,
to take photographs of the paintings he puts in his rooms of. There's one of the paintings that he has by Billianajer Javisc that is just,
just unmistakably two dead little girls lying on their backs in like a pond or a lake or something...
Just no question that that's what it is. It's in the magazine... And so, by the way, people are. They.
I, I may be misremembering this. And don't, don't sue me, Heather Podesta, if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Heather Podesta told me
to my face that they had another... house just for the art. I think he supposedly owns 5, 000 pieces of art. Something.
Okay, so, but that means, like, okay, so why do you have a house? So you can invite people over. So that's like my neighbors. I never went,
but I was never invited. But that means, like, a lot of people I know... went over to the Podesta's house and saw...
paintings of demons having sex with dead children or whatever. I can't even put that into my head.
And they're like, yeah, they're kind of, kind of far out, kind of funky, you know, they're sort of edgy. The Podestas, it's like, yeah,
check yourself, dude. This Is hell. When you ask the question of how is it? Right? And this is something that ordinary people really need to understand
because this is not the first ruling class that this has happened to. No, no... this is happen to ruling classes throughout the world,
throughout history. This is Weimar, Caligula, yes. It's the British gentry in the late 18, early 1900s when they're all into Alice
Crowley and all that 100 percent its White mischief in Nairobi in 1925. This is late empire. And so.
I agree you know, the fact that, you know, we asked the question, how is it that every single person I know that,
you know, that everybody listening to this knows and allows into their life would run screaming off of that airplane when six underage girls
in their underwear come out, the answer is, well, if you just came from a spirit cooking dinner and followed up by a party at Tony
Podesta's house where there's pictures of tied up dead 8 year olds all over the wall
and then you go onto that plane. you know. I can, I can vouch, I can vouch for that. I just,
I never went on the plane, I never went to the Podesta's house, but boy, did I live in a world of people who did.
And... not one time in 35 years in D.C. did anybody say, holy shit, I was at Tony's house last night.
You should see what's in there. They were like, oh, it's douchey. I mean, look, you would get kicked off of a local school board for having
pictures of tied up dead 8 year olds on your wall. And so if you were gonna, so. also What'S happening to your society?
This is the seat of power. Like its values flow downward. It's like it's the top of the pyramid. There's some freak down the block who's just into weird...
stuff, whatever. You might tell your kids to avoid that house and everything, but fine, this is America. We interpret. At least until Israel attacked Gaza.
We interpreted the First Amendment pretty broadly. Things like that, Most people still do. Fine.
I'm maybe not calling for that guy's arrest or anything. You can go be a freak in his own house. but...
you're not... participating in the conversation or in the decision making process of whether we do gender reassignment surgeries on 8 year olds.
When you have pictures of dead tied up 8 year olds on your wall. And I think most ordinary people, and I think people who are in the Washington world and in a
lot of these elite circles, they just don't get how this looks to the rest of the of the country Well, it's not just how it looks, it's how it is...
And, you know, that... kind of... thinking allows you to kill a lot of people, which they do.
And so they have these conversations about we need to do this or do that. What you really mean is drop bombs on kids,
which they do... continuously... And no one even mentions it. So... the acceptance of violence against civilians.
I've only started to realize this since I left. It's been... five years. And I'm like, that is. I mean,
maybe there's a circumstance where you need to go full Dresden on somebody. Let's talk about it. But they don't talk about it.
It's just like, well, we're going to, you know, we're going to bomb the Houthis and, like, open the shipping lanes What does that mean?.. Nobody cares.
because they have a. They have a... total acceptance of... killing people.
One of the reasons I left the Department of Defense, you know, I used to work on air and ballistic missile defense systems for
a long time with the dod, and I would go all over the world, work with our allies, work on American base,
and I go on to American ships on deployment with them sometimes when they were in hot spots, so that they had, like,
a real expert on in case something bad happened with one of their defense systems. And a lot of times I'd be on a little destroyer.
And I don't think I'm divulging any classified information here or anything. And honestly, like, with something like this, like,
I just, I don't. I don't particularly care. I guess nobody ever told me not to talk about it. But when the Saudi war and UAE war on Yemen was going on,
and every day you're reading in the paper of kids literally starving to death, of kids dying of
very preventable, very treatable diseases by the tens of thousands on a regular basis.
And we would be interdicting... smugglers coming from Baluchistan and other places, trying to come in and out of Yemen.
And we'd stop their Dows and small boats and we'd, you know, board them and search them and so forth.
And when this was going on, I wasn't a part of the crew. I was a civilian Department of Defense employee. And.
But I go out on deck and I kind of watch these things go down... And I can't tell you how many times,
eventually it was one too many times, I would read one of those stories about what was going on in Yemen,
and then we're, you know, 100 miles off Yemen, stopping a boat that's coming into that country
that has nothing on it but medicine and watching everybody dump it into the ocean.
and then everybody kind of celebrating like we just won another big victory, you know?
And it got to the point where, again, it was just one too many times I couldn't sleep at night. It was a big factor of why I left the job. It's just.
And, and, and, and I want to be very clear. I don't indict the... sailors who were carrying out the mission.
When you're in the culture, I mean, you're part of the military. It's hard to describe to outsiders, but these were. These are guys who thought they were fulfilling their patriotic duty.
I get it. But there's not a strong Christian vibe in that environment. Not exactly. Yeah. It's not too welcome
when you're asking people to... throw medicine in the water that's on its way to a country where kids are dying of diarrhea, you know,
and so that. That moral compromise, you know, the idea, the... answer to that question of how could Jeffrey Epstein,
when everybody knew, everybody in elite circles knew what he had done. Why is anybody accepting an invitation to go hang out with this guy?
Why is anybody flying on the Lolita express like any of these things?.. And the answer, I think, again, is
you're talking about a moral environment... that is very different from the one. There was a.
There was a article in the New York Times several years ago about this French author named Gabriel Matznev. This really, like, there was one line in it that really shed a lot of light on this...
for me. Gabriel Matn was a French author, very famous, had a.
Had a... column in Le Mond, I think. Famous novelist. And all of his books, all of them
were novels about pedophilia and... painted in, like, a. A very... positive way.
You know. the book that kind of broken through was called under 16 years old, and they're all graphic depictions of pedophile.
That was the name of the book. Yeah. And eventually he gets busted. and
he doesn't deny anything that he did when he's going through the criminal justice process and everything.
But he is really, really angry... because he's like, who do you. I could name names right now that would bring this whole place down.
Are you kidding me? Like, you're gonna put this on? Just me. And one of the things that they said in that New York Times story
is they said in France, but I would say this is, again, common. This isn't. This isn't unique to France.
