We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery.
We need humanity.
We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat.
As if that's the way it's supposed to be.
We know things are bad, worse than bad.
They're crazy.
Gotta say, I'm a human being!
God damn it.
My life has value.
You have meddled with the primal forces of nature.
Don't give yourselves to brutes.
Men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, or what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder.
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men.
Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts.
You're beautiful.
I love you.
Yes.
You're beautiful.
Thank you.
Ha ha.
It's showtime.
It's time to buckle up for making sense of the madness.
And who loves you and who do you love?
Hey, everybody.
Jason Burmes is extremely, extremely happy that at 427 to 1, the needle has been moved so far on the Epstein issue.
Only one politician, a Republican, by the way, we'll get into that a little later, voted against releasing them.
Now, I want to start with this broadcast basically saying how important that is and how that is through people who have been in this arena now for not only a decade and kudos to those like Whitney Webb, who I believe right around now is really about a decade of her work or just shy of that, maybe just over that, on Epstein.
That was game-changing.
And I just want to say props to her out of the gates.
She's one of those people that helped move the needle.
But even prior to that, you know, love them or hate them.
Yes, the Alex Joneses, the David Ikes of the world.
I'd like to think that guys like myself, Derek Brose, especially, you know, the last American vagabond, we've grinded it out for many a year as well on the peripheral, some with larger reaches than others.
But again, when you look at this work, you know, Derek Brose's interview goes viral every few cycles because this is the issue that refuses to go away.
I think gains the most skepticism of our government, the power structure, other governments, and their behavior than any other issue ever has.
Any other issue ever has.
It really does unite those left, right, center, apolitical, not paying attention, because we all have families, right?
In some sense.
We all had a mother at some point or a father, whether you knew them or not.
A brother, a sister, even a friend, you know, a child.
This is something that the exploitation, the abuse and serial abuse of children by these people is just too much and it's grotesque.
However, with all of that being said, the reason I said 427 to one long shot is not just because we've now gotten here.
All right.
But what do we get from here?
What obstacles do we have?
And how much of the narrative do I think is actually going to be shared?
I have continuously talked about the other aspects of this case other than the abuse of underage girls, right?
I mean, I think that's extremely important because it has been manipulated into an idea of a list.
And I'm now hearing the list is getting released.
The list, list.
There is no list.
Okay, if you're new here, by the way, this is going to be a long broadcast because we're going to do a watch along with the press conference earlier today via Rokana, Thomas Massey, and MTG.
We're watching that whole thing together.
So, you know, get the thumbs up, subscribe, share, ring the bell if you're new, but buckle up on this one.
I think we now have the pieces on the chessboard and the open admissions into play that the stuff that was really going on, that somebody this grotesque, Jeffrey Epstein, it wasn't just a blackmail operation.
He was involved in arms dealing.
Iran Contra in particular, but then you look at the relationships up through MBS, who visited the White House today, by the way.
You know, again, these are huge relationships and had pictures with the Saudi Royals, the whole nine.
Okay.
The whole nine.
But also is setting up things like the Clinton Global Initiative.
You know, we have open emails.
It is something that even Ghelaine Maxwell talked about with Todd Blanche, etc.
A lot of these things have been in the public arena, but as I've stated, first of all, the media has tried to spin the release of the 20,000 documents instead of really focusing on the meat and potatoes of them.
Although there's a lot coming out, we're going to get into a few stories.
Again, on the peripheral, some people are doing their job, but it's not the media narrative.
The media narrative is Trump is all over these files.
And he is in regards to Epstein trying to take him down with journalists like Thomas Langdon Jr., Michael Wolf, journalist.
We talked about the Krasner, Paul Krasner, also contacting him.
But the real story is those that were still currying favor with Epstein working with Epstein knowing he had already been successfully prosecuted in the Palm Beach case, knowing what he was, taking his money and influence.
Anyway, and we're going to go back to the Stacey Plaskett stuff where it appears that Jeffrey Epstein himself, himself, you know, was directing commentary via a bot politician.
Shocking.
Shocking, I know, but that just scratches the surface.
And I'm very hesitant to say we're going to see the outright inner workings of the banks and Epstein and the arms trade and the intel networks, not just blackmail, because yes, the blackmail, the honeypots were there, but that's insurance.
And when I say insurance, he doesn't want to have to use that.
And it doesn't appear that he gets it on everybody, right?
Like if you think, for instance, that Epstein didn't have some really terrible tape or photographs of Trump reading these emails, it would be hard for me to believe that he would not have released them.
Period.
Okay.
And again, they don't paint Trump in the best light.
It goes to that point where, you know, Trump and his relationship had something to do with the modeling, right?
And the women, and Epstein said, hey, you know, I pawned my girlfriend, this model off on him two years later, et cetera.
It's in the documents, right?
But we're also going to learn some stuff about Jared Kushner today.
And it's really interesting when we look at this email because it also needs to get deconstructed further than what you're seeing.
And the stuff that you should be paying attention to.
And the question is now: number one, are we getting the rest of the paper files?
Number two, are we getting the photographs, the videotapes, those things that have been entered into evidence, obviously outside of anything that would be illegal or something that would compromise the victims, right?
But at the same time, you can, it's very easy to blur people out, or you could make them into a whole nother person with AI these days, right?
You could absolutely manipulate.
It really would be just so much easier just to blur the victims themselves out.
But Johnson said it today.
I mean, he let the cat out of the bag.
Like these, that this bill gets into national security issues.
And he damn well knows that Epstein is a national security issue.
Even though that term, that blanket term, has been used and abused again and again and again to obviously overclassify tawdry behavior, et cetera, and keep people in the dark, keep misinformation and disinformation campaigns going.
In this case, it does have a direct use to the methods and practices of DOD operations, FBI operations, CIA operations, and beyond.
So without further ado, let's go over some of these documents.
Let's thumbs it up, subscribe, share.
We got a few videos for you as well.
But listen, again, kudos, golf clap to everybody out there.
The issue is not going away.
And now the question is how much of it can be managed?
Because I don't want any of it managed.
I want people to realize that this network is super corrupt.
I want people to realize how the world works and how we only got a glimpse, a glimpse of how it worked via Iran-Contra and it never stopped.
And these people are dangerous and grotesque and have no legitimacy making decisions for the rest of us.
So let's thumbs it up, subscribe, share.
Remember, I can't do this without you guys.
And this one's going to be a long one because that press conference was pretty long today.
Okay.
But $5, $10, $15, it absolutely means the world to me.
Big donors.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Need you now more than ever.
Trying to keep this thing afloat is not an easy thing.
I want to thank Marigold Resources, buying or selling a business, marigoldresources.com.
Go check them out.
River Cities Reader, great publication, an actual in-print publication here in the Quad Cities, RCReader.com.
Go check them out for great independent media.
And then give me a follow on X. Please.
Please give me a follow on X. Let's see how we're doing.
We might actually be gained.
Yeah, look at that.
Wow, we got like four people.
Four people since yesterday.
You know, we were just on, quite frankly, last night.
And I love Frank, by the way.
We've been doing a lot of other shows.
By the way, get ready for an independent media alliance panel.
I'll either be putting that out later tonight or tomorrow.
And that one was Catherine Austin Fitz, obviously Ryan, Tim Hincliffe, Steve from Slow News Day, Ian.
It's a jam-packed panel.
You're not going to want to miss that.
We went over this.
Now, this is an aspect that is extremely important.
This reopening.
This reopening.
This is where Clay Higgins standed.
Oh, there's open investigations.
Here's the deal, Clay, and anybody who said such johnny nonsense, there were no open investigations.
They were ready that this DOJ was ready to close the case.
They put out the memo.
Well, we just don't know.
Let's close her up.
And people were outraged.
And that's why we're here right now because we're done.
We're done.
So now they're trying to manage it.
Okay.
They've brought in this insider, Jay Clayton from the Southern District of New York, and he's going to be the trusted prosecutor.
So now their attempt, it appears, is going to try to say that these files are part of an open investigation and cannot be released to the public.
An investigation that would go nowhere.
And take a look.
Massey gets it.
Massey gets it.
We're going to play Johnson in a minute.
This is how Speaker Johnson plans to protect perverts who went to the island from embarrassment.
Do not let Senate add an amendment to avoid disclosing those rich and powerful men who have evaded justice so many times.
It's Johnson's calling all victims non-credible.
Okay.
I mean, let's just read what he put on paper today in this presentation.
Okay.
Dangers of this petition.
Okay.
That it does not adequately protect the victims.
The victims want this information out.
Innocent persons.
It risks the disclosure of non-credible allegations, creating new victims.
See?
It fails to adequately protect against the release of child abuse images.
That's just not true, by the way.
Provides no protections for whistleblowers or undercover law enforcement.
Now you're getting a little closer.
See that?
For future investigations.
See how they're trying to set this up?
And then there's declassification.
It requires the release of information that could reveal confidential methods and sources.
Epstein is documented to have worked with the FBI and given them information.
We already know this.
I get it.
The media didn't jump on it.
The document is out there.
What was that information?
And that's bare bones compared to all the other things that we have documented here via Epstein.
But as I said, the cat's out of the bag.
Ron John, I'm sorry, Ron Johns.
It's not Ron Johnson.
I like Ron Johnson.
I'm sorry.
Speaker Johnson.
His first name is evading me at the moment.
Here he is, again, letting the cat out of the bag on Epstein.
It's a national security issue.
National security concerns, okay?
The discharge requires the Attorney General to release within 30 days, quote, classified information to the maximum extent possible.
This ignores the principle that declassification should always rest and always has rested with the agency that originated the intelligence.
Why?
So that they can protect their critical sources and methods.
It is incredibly dangerous to demand that officials or employees of the DOJ declassify materials that originated in other agencies and intelligence agencies.
See?
See why this is important?
See why we continue to harp on this issue.
But again, because we have harped on this issue, 427 to 1.
Say it again.
427 to 1.
Now, if you see this right here, this is part of the bill, apparently.
All right?
Contain information specifically authorized under criteria established by an executive order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy and are in fact properly classified pursuant to such executive order.
So what does this mean?
I think that this is in there that if they want to pull this, they're going to have to do so via Trump, via executive order in front of everybody.
And Mike Benz, by the way, he's killing it, guys.
He's the guy that you want to follow.
He's talking about the State Department and Jeffrey Epstein.
He's talking about Iran Contra and Jeffrey Epstein.
I know there's a lot of people out there for some reason that don't like him, but give me a break.
So here we have Congressman Hakeem Jeffries.
Okay.
Just want to put this out there as well.
And he is soliciting funds in 2013 from Jeffrey Epstein, another one of these guys.
Where did my Kushner go?
Where?
We're going to have to do it live.
We're just going to have to do it live, right?
Yeah, let's do it.
We'll do it live.
Okay.
We'll do it live.
Fuck it.
Do it live.
I'll write it and we'll do it live.
So, man, I wanted the Daily Mail article, however.
Here it is right here.
Because it actually had the email, because the email is what we want to see.
You know, let's just type in Daily Mail.
And this is what kills me when they don't show you the email.
The emails really got the juicy stuff in it.
Okay?
Just want to put that right there.
There it is right here.
And why is that?
Because if you look at the actual email, the base document, let's just go nothing more frustrating.
Let's just open that image in a new tab.
Okay?
Here we go.
That's what we want.
Right there, the juicy email.
Take a look at the top.
First of all, they're blacking out who this is from.
I don't like that one bit.
Okay.
And who it's to.
What we do know at the very top, obviously it's to Jeffrey Epstein, but who actually is being forwarded from, okay, I don't like that censorship.
Leslie Groff.
Leslie Groff, among others, has been named, Sarah Kalin, Nadia Marcankova, Adriana Ross, as the people that were protected along with Ghelaine Maxwell in that original sweetheart deal.
Okay?
And in other words, co-conspirators.
And so Kushner is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the New York Observer on Tuesday, March 14th.
And Bloomberg, oh, yeah, good old Mayor Bloomberg will be by his side to toast you all.
Now, if you take a look even further down, so not only do you have like the co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein that's never faced a court category and supposedly, you know, done, it's not just Kushner as the publisher, but Trump is there.
You know, obviously his daughter is there too.
And then you have Sean Parker, who's there.
And for those that don't know who Sean Parker is, Sean Parker is the person that was behind Napster.
He was actually recruited by the CIA at 16.
Supposedly, he turned them down, and then he went on to like this hacking convention.
He's the Justin Timberlake character in the social network, the rise of Facebook.
He has got a little subsection, just a mention, if you will, in Shade the Motion Picture.
So, I mean, these are the who's who.
You got Katie Couric there, Corey Booker, you know, one of my favorite politicians, Blake Lively.
I mean, Katie Holmes.
Take a look at this.
And hey, Jeffrey the Party Epstein is invited.
And this is in 2013.
It just gives you the mindset of a lot of these people, right?
I think it's important to note that.
So we mentioned the lone Republican, okay?
And that lone Republican is a guy named Clay Higgins.
And I've liked Higgins on other things.
And he comes out of the law enforcement scene.
I believe he also may have been a judge for a while.
I might be butchering that, but I know that was his background before he got into politics, was in that arena.
And he talks about how, oh, this is going, there's open investigations and blah, bull.
No good.
At the same time, we've talked about this Stacey Plaskett email exchange where Epstein not only, again, she gave money back that Epstein helped get her elected.
Now they want ethics hearings.
And Higgins, the one guy that said, don't release it, he brings up the Plaskett stuff.
And really, what does this do?
This helps the left-right narrative, right?
And that bull nonsense.
But here's Higgins.
Again, this guy voted against the only person who voted against the files, but then he's telling the truth about Stacey Plaskett.
She's a good lady from the Virgin Islands.
Where did Jeffrey Epstein live in the Virgin Islands?
She was a constituent in 2019.
Was she a friend in 2007 during her service to the DOJ, which my friend has brought up?
Was there any interactions?
These are the questions we have.
The good lady from the Virgin Islands has crossed the threshold of reasonable suspicion.
And therefore, she should be investigated during said investigation by ethics.
And I would recommend by DOJ.
And I would recommend by oversight and judiciary committees.
Meanwhile, she should absolutely be removed from the House Select Committee on Intel.
I mean, I agree with everything he's saying, but this guy should have absolutely not voted to not release the Epstein files.
Bad move, Clay.
And by the way, later on, the Democrats try to get rid of it.
And this is this interaction right here.
Victims of Jeffrey Epstein to have justice and transparency.
And now, minutes later, the gentleman from South Carolina is filing yet another partisan resolution.
I ask all of my colleagues to support this motion to refer this to the ethics committee, and I yield back my time.
Without objection, the previous question is ordered.
And by the way, that woman is the Democratic minority whip.
It's not a republic.
Again, Plasket needs to be investigated.
100%.
Who knows what else is going to come out in these documents?
We saw one round of emails, guys.
Question is on the motion to refer.
All those in favor say aye.
Aye.
All those opposed say no.
In the opinion of the chair, the no's have it.
Mr. Speaker.
And the motion is not up.
Mr. Speaker, I request to call the yays and nays.
The speaker didn't even want it on the record, right?
He wanted the yays and nays.
No, let's put it on the record.
Who doesn't want to investigate this woman who is a puppet of Epstein?
The yays and nays are requested.
Those favoring a vote by the yays and nays will rise.
A sufficient number having risen, the yays and nays are ordered.
Members will record their votes by electronic device.
Five minutes will be allowed for this vote.
Okay.
So I told you that we were going to get into this press conference with Massey, Rocana, and MTG.
And that is exactly what we're going to do.
Let's get the thumbs up.
Let's get the comments in there.
Remember, you can also super chat if you're live.
We will go to that commentary.
Obviously, let's try to keep it on the topic of Epstein.
What do you guys think?
What do you see happening?
Does anybody differ in my opinion on what's really going on?
And then let's get to this press conference from earlier today.
Representatives Roe Connor, Marjorie Taylor Green, Thomas Massey, and Epstein abuse survivors are holding a news conference ahead of a House vote on releasing the Epstein files.
You're watching live coverage on C-SPAN 2.
And no regard for the rules or the laws.
Look, this is one of the most horrific and disgusting corruption scandals in our country's history.
You had Jeffrey Epstein who literally set up an island of rape, a rape island.
And you had rich and powerful men, some of the richest people in the world, who thought that they could hang out with bankers, buy off politicians, and abuse and rape America's girls with no consequence.
Because survivors spoke up, because of their courage, the truth is finally going to come out.
And when it comes out, this country is really going to have a moral reckoning.
How did we allow this to happen?
There should be no buildings named after people in this Epstein class.
There should be no scholarships named after them.
They shouldn't be enjoying the perks of being affiliated with corporations or universities or writing op-eds or being lionized.
And many of the survivors will tell you some of these people still are celebrated in our society.
That's disgusting.
There needs to be accountability.
I want to recognize first and foremost the survivors.
They are the ones who made today possible.
Many of you had forgotten about this issue.
And frankly, for decades, we have not done enough about this issue.
And it's only because of their advocacy, them coming here to the Capitol.
They showed up here time and again.
And on September 3rd, that the country started to pay attention.
And I also want to thank the courage of two of my colleagues in particular.
Both of them have suffered, as you know, extraordinary political consequences for what they did.
One, my colleague, Congressman Thomas Massey.
This would not have been possible if he hadn't led the discharge petition that got 218 signatures and is going to force a vote in the House of Representatives.
And this would not have certainly been possible if it were not for the courage of Marjorie Taylor Greene.
She signed the petition, and I would keep texting Thomas.
Is she going to drop off?
Is she going to drop off?
Because there was so much pressure against us, so much attacks against her.
But she stood with the survivors.
For Thomas or me, this has never been political.
This is not about questions of Trump or Biden.
This is a question of doing the right thing for survivors.
We're going to get a vote today.
I expect an overwhelming vote in the House of Representatives.
And I don't want the D.C. swamp playing any games.
They need to pass this in the Senate.
And they should not amend it.
President Trump has said he would sign the Epstein Transparency Act.
It's going to get overwhelming support in the House.
It should go straight to the Senate and it should be signed.
No amendments, no adding loopholes.
Justice is long overdue.
And I want to hand it over to my colleague, Representative Thomas Massey.
Now, before we go to Massey, I just want to say I agree with everything RoConna just said there.
Every single word.
I mean, we did the video on MTG yesterday.
Some people were mad about that video.
I also see in the comments sometimes like just like total drivel.
They didn't even watch the video.
They just assume it's like a Trump support video or just like outright, you know, hating on this group or that.
Watch the videos if you're going to comment.
If you're going to take an unreality point.
Look, RoConna was right.
Overwhelming.
There should be no amendments.
It should be passed as is.
I don't even like the loophole in the bill that would allow Trump to sign some kind of executive order and take action against a portion of this being released.
And I really am hesitant on the idea that these investigations that are supposedly happening right now are anything but a tool to, again, not release information.
But let's go to Massey.
I want to start by thanking the survivors.
I mean, they're giving everybody hope in this country.
There are survivors of other sex crimes in this country wondering if they should come forward.
They're clouded with shame and concerned that law enforcement will do nothing.
And these survivors have stepped forth, taking that same risk, worried that they will be defamed themselves.
They have been defamed for stepping forward.
But we're going to get justice for them.
And that's going to happen today in the People's House.
The founders set up our government with three branches and two branches of Congress.
And I don't think it's any coincidence that this fight is being started and it's being won in the House of Representatives.
I have people, other survivors of other sex crimes, who come to me and say, thank you.
You give me hope.
You give us hope.
There is hope here.
We fought the president, the attorney general, the FBI director, the speaker of the House, and the Vice President to get this win.
But they never, they're on our side today, though.
So let's give them some credit as well.
They are finally on the side of justice.
And as Rose said, don't muck it up in the Senate.
Don't get too cute.
We're all paying attention.
If you want to add some additional protections for these survivors, go for it.
But if you do anything that prevents any disclosure, you are not for the people and you are not part of this effort.
Do not muck it up in the Senate.
So with that, I just want to say I am hopeful too.
I didn't know that we would succeed when Roe and I started this effort.
Most discharge petitions never make it, maybe only 4%.
So we had long odds.
But we had some brave women on the Republican side.
My colleague Marjorie Taylor Green is one of them who's here with us today.
You cannot even imagine the consequences that they have suffered.
My colleague Lauren Boebert and my colleague Nancy Mays, they stood so strong.
They put their names on a document in here, and then they were pressured in ways that you cannot even imagine.
And they stood strong.
And that's why we're here today.
And they didn't take us seriously over at the executive branch or in the Senate because they always thought they could flip one of these women.
They could convince them or control them or intimidate them into taking their names off of this petition.
But they did not succeed.
This is a victory for those women and women all over the country today.
And I'm just glad to be a part of it.
With that, I want to introduce my colleague Marjorie Taylor Green.
Once again, there's a reason we've been talking Massey up.
Okay?
He's right about these petitions.
Most of them don't make it anywhere near.
I mean, anywhere near it.
Just not, it's not even ballpark.
You understand?
Okay.
And I don't think people can imagine the types of things, the pressure that's put on these people, the things that are said.
You know, it's not just materialistic.
It's not just empty death threats that may not be so empty.
I mean, we are living, again, in a time period where political assassination is not out of the question, and we've witnessed it, not only in its attempt, but with the Kirk murder, we've seen it achieved.
That's something maybe I wasn't prepared for in my lifetime.
And yet it has come to America, as rare as it is, because it is a lot less rare in other countries, right?
But I just wanted to put that on the table.
And look, he's right.
Look at how the executive has now shifted and how they have to shift after a vote like that one.
427 to 1.
Thank you, Thomas.
Thank you, Roe.
I woke up this morning and I turned to my weather app to check the temperature and it was 32 degrees.
And my first thought was, hell has froze over.
I want to speak goodness and love and hope into the women standing behind me and all of the other survivors whose names you don't even know, but stand with these women.
They are survivors and they are strong and they are courageous and they are daughters of God.
They are not victims.
These women have fought the most horrific fight that no woman should have to fight and they did it by banding together and never giving up.
And that's what we did by fighting so hard against the most powerful people in the world, even the president of the United States, in order to make this vote happen today.
I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for five, no, actually six years for.
And I gave him my loyalty for free.
I won my first election without his endorsement, beating eight men in a primary.
And I've never owed him anything, but I fought for him for the policies and for America first.
And he called me a traitor for standing with these women and refusing to take my name off the discharge petition.
Let me tell you what a traitor is.
A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves.
A patriot is an American that serves the United States of America and Americans like Now, let me just stop this really quick because a lot of people aren't picking up on this.
She didn't say a foreign country.
She said foreign countries.
And over and over again, when we talk about this group, this cabal, these networks, I talk about it being an international intelligence operation.
And with that, obviously, with the information we have, players in the UK, players in Israel, players in Saudi Arabia, players in this country.
And who is being served by this?
Okay?
Unfortunately, it's only this, it's that cabal system if we don't release it.
Let me go back to MTG.
Like the women standing behind me.
And I want to tell you that this only became possible today because the American people whom we serve as representatives here in Congress demanded that this vote happen, and they put more pressure on every single elected politician in this city than has ever been put on them.
And today you are going to see probably a unanimous vote in the House to release the Epstein files, but the fight, the real fight, will happen after that.
While I want to see every single name released so that these women don't have to live in fear and intimidation, which is something I've had a small taste of in just the past few days, just a small taste.
They've been living it for years.
But the real test will be: will the Department of Justice release the files?
Or will it all remain tied up in investigations?
Will the CIA release the files?
Will a federal judge, will a judge in New York, sorry, a judge in New York release the information?
That's information that needs to come out.
And will the list of names that these women privately hold, and they hold it because of their fear in their heart of what would happen to them if they release it on their own?
Will that list of names come out?
That's the real test.
So I want to thank Thomas Massey and Rochana for your bravery in doing something, doing something that is much needed in America, crossing the political aisle that has become bigger than the Grand Canyon in America.
But these men crossed that aisle on behalf of these women.
And that is more of what is needed today in America than ever in our history.
So thank you so much.
Who's next?
I mean, once again, I don't know that I can disagree with a word she just said.
And I get it.
The right-left paradigm, a lot of that's theater.
Look at the interests that buy off both sides.
Look at the scripts that these people and the talking points that they run with.
Look at the unscrupulous behavior just to gain power.
But I've said it before, I'll say it again.
Good and evil do exist.
And even in the most ruthless and evil of arenas, there has to be good.
And there's not just one Etsy, one superpower that runs everything.
No, we have free will for a reason.
And it may be in the vast minority at one point.
But when it is true, when it is good, when it is righteous, we can shift that paradigm.
How far we can shift it, it's really up to us.
But bravo, MTG.
Roe, I'll let you introduce.
Thank you.
Thank you, Marjorie, Representative Green, for your courage and your words.
Before I introduce our survivors, I just want to say that they will make their statements, and then you can ask questions of Representative Massey, myself, or Representative Green, but we do not want people asking questions and cross-examining the survivors.
They're here to tell their stories, and they should be heard by the American people with respect.
Of course, Congressman Massey, myself, and Congresswoman Green would be happy to answer questions after that.
With that, let me introduce the survivor who's helped organize a lot of this, and we'll be introducing, telling her own story and introducing the other survivors.
Haley Robson, thank you for your courage and leadership.
Absolutely.
Thank you all.
Oh, good morning.
It's a little chilly coming from Florida.
Not used to it.
I want everybody to take a look.
I know everybody sees us today as grown adults, but we are fighting for the children that were abandoned and left behind in the reckoning.
This is who you're fighting for.
This is who Congress is fighting for.
This is who the House of Representatives are fighting for.
And hopefully the Senate will fight for us too.
I want to kick this off right, and I want to address Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massey, and Rokana.
I want to express my gratitude for all three of you.
And I know, Rakana, we spoke earlier.
This isn't an incredible thing that I'm watching as a Republican, and this is non-political.
But for you to go against your own party and to be ostracized, there's no place for political violence.
There's no place for intimidation.
And I can say firsthand, stepping out against Epstein and his crimes against children, we have all experienced that ourselves.
So for you to knowingly put yourselves at risk and put your career at risk is unbelievable to watch, and we are so grateful.
I also want to make a proposition for Marjorie Taylor Greene because you've been an advocate for this.
If you decide to read those names on the House floor for immunity, I will be more than happy.
No security needed.
I will stand beside you.
I will hold your hand.
I will hold your coat in solidarity with you.
And on top of that, I did talk to Priya Paul Jaya Paul, who said she would be more than happy to read those names too on the floor with all of us.
It's time that we put the political agendas and party affiliations to the side.
This is a human issue.
This is about children.
There is no place in society for exploitation, sexual crimes, or exploitation of women in society.
There's no room for it, guys.
We're not having it.
And to the president of the United States of America, who is not here today, I want to send a clear message to you.
While I do understand that your position has changed on the Epstein files, and I'm grateful that you have pledged to sign this bill, I can't help to be skeptical of what the agenda is.
So with that being said, I want to relay this message to you.
I am traumatized.
I am not stupid.
I am traumatized.
I am not stupid.
You have put us through so much stress, the lockdowns, the halt of these procedures that were supposed to have happened 50 days ago.
The Adelita Grajalva who waited to get sworn in and then get upset when your own party goes against you because what is being done is wrong.
It's not right.
For your own self-serving purposes, this is America.
This is land of the free.
Land of the free.
In 1863, we have a woman on top of the Capitol building represent freedom.
I do not feel free today.
I don't know if the women behind me feel free today.
So I am begging every member of Congress, every representative to step up and choose the chaos.
Choose the survivors.
Choose the children.
Protect the children.
All children.
You protect all of us equally.
Thank you very much for your time.
Following that, Lisa Phillips will be the next survivor.
Let's just stop for a second right there.
Haley Robson, I love the fact that she addressed Trump directly and even threw out the whole lockdowns thing.
And now, you know, that's a whole nother issue.
And you can sit here and, you know, be an apologist in some ways.
And certainly, you know, I've talked about those aspects and his ignorance and what kind of power the executive really has.
But hey, man, she asked, do you feel free?
I've been talking about freedom for a long time.
And our freedom has been more and more encroached on and more and more outwardly done to us.
Now, I talk about that geoengineering a lot.
I talked about it today on the IMA.
We're going to release that panel, like I said, either late tonight or sometime tomorrow.
It's a can't miss.
But Haley Robson, thank you so much.
I mean, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you guys for pushing this forward.
And, you know, names do need to be named on the abuse scale.
But just like MTG said, the DOJ, the CIA, what was really going on?
Good morning.
My name is Lisa Phillips.
It's an honor to stand here again for something America is finally united on.
The immediate release of the entire Epstein files.
In a divided nation, this is one demand we all share.
Last time I stood here, I made a promise to all survivors watching.
If those in power refused to release the truth, we would start uncovering it ourselves.
For anyone who doubted that, that moment has already arrived.
Since that day, more survivors across the country and around the world have reached out, text, emails, DMs, first-hand accounts, and evidence.
Many are women who were abused or trafficked through the international modeling pipeline Epstein built, promising visas, apartments, opportunities, futures, while exploiting their dreams for abuse.
Most are still terrified to speak publicly because the men involved are powerful.
They're connected, and as we know, they're protected.
For too long, survivors have watched others speak for us.
And while we are grateful for our allies in Congress on both sides, we've realized something.
This fight belongs to us.
We lived it and we know the truth.
And we will not wait quietly for institutions to decide when we're allowed to speak.
The survivors now coming forward have entrusted us with their stories.
We are sharing that information with the proper authorities, and when it can safely be made public, it will be.
So, today, we are launching something historic: the first national survivor-led political movement in America.
Nonpartisan, laser-focused on exposing the systems, the loopholes, power structures, and silencing mechanisms that have protected predators for far too long.
We are stepping directly into the halls of power into the political arena.
We will help rewrite laws that failed us and build protections for our nation's children together targeted by sexual exploitation.
Together, today, survivors begin our own fight, the survivor revolution.
And we intend to change this nation for the better.
If you're a survivor who wants to join us, please reach out.
And to anyone who benefits from the current system, intentionally or not, remember this: alone, yes, we are afraid, but together, we are feared.
Thank you.
Now, before we go on, the only thing I can tell you about my concern with what Lisa Phillips is saying is that unless we get criminal accountability on the past behavior, I don't know that you can create new laws or change the system so that future behavior by these types of individuals can be curbed as well.
But again, I mean, look how far we've come.
Hello, everybody.
I am Jennalisa Jones, and just as Haley, I would just like to give a little reminder that this was me at 14 years old.
I was a child, I was in ninth grade, I was hopeful for life and what the future had held for me.
He stole a lot from me at 14.
So, just a little reminder there for everybody.
Sorry.
So, I just want to start out by saying thank you for all of you for being here today.
I want to start by expressing my deepest gratitude to the members of Congress who have stood with us, the survivors, in demanding the transparency and justice.
Your support is a signal that this institution can still serve the American people.
This issue was never one that should have divided us the way it has.
In fact, it should have united us.
Sexual abuse is not a Republican issue.
It is not a Democratic issue.
It is also not a hoax.
We are here as American survivors of a man who used his wealth and power to hurt young girls and women.
The world should see the files to know who Jeffrey Epstein was and how the system catered to him and failed us.
Emotionally, this process has been distressing.
First, the administration said it would release everything and applauded President Trump for that.
Then it fought to release nothing.
Now that that that now that that checks and balances of our dom democra democracy have worked and the bill is getting passed to release the files, we are hearing the administration say they intend to investigate various Democrats who were friends with Epstein.
I beg you, President Trump, please stop making this political.
It is not about you, President Trump.
You are our president.
Please start acting like it.
Show some class.
Show some real leadership.
Show that you actually care about the people other than yourself.
I voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment.
Now, let me just stop right there.
Now, first of all, the fact that she stood up and she talked about her experience at 14, you could see the emotion.
And I share with her everything she just said about Trump on this issue.
And I get he was backed into a corner.
But this is it, man.
People really need to see how the system works if we're going to gain any semblance, not just of our constitutional republic, which has been shattered, just shattered, okay?
Taken over by authoritarianism, really this technopoly-type behavior by a bunch of insane predator-class transhumanists that want us under their thumb or just not around in general, right?
And again, Epstein, transhumanist.
So it is embarrassing the way Trump has acted on this issue.
And that's why he's had to shift the position.
That's why, like so many other things that he's been able to put into the background, like the Fort Knox stuff and the Doge stuff and the WikiLeaks and Assange stuff, right?
He couldn't do it with this issue.
So yeah.
Yeah.
Start acting right.
It is time to take the honest moral ground and support the release of these files.
Not to weaponize pieces of the files against random political enemies that did nothing wrong, but to understand who Epstein's friends were, who covered for him, what financial institutions allowed his trafficking to continue.
Who knew what he was doing, but was too much of a coward to do anything about it?
Jeffrey Epstein and Khislaine Maxwell were able to recruit and abuse young girls and women.
Then the country will learn nothing.
The country will learn nothing and has horrible history will greet itself if we do not do something about this.
Thank you to the brave congressmen and women who have stood by us and recognize our side is the American side, and we should all be proud once again to be Americans.
I want to just extend my thank you so much to all three of you very, very much.
The first time we were here, listening to people yell shame at you, and when she was here in support of us, really hit home and spoke some volumes.
And I just very much appreciate your support and we stand by you.
Don't let any of them bully you.
We're here for you.
Thank you, guys.
Wow.
Good morning, everyone.
Thank you all so much for coming together today and taking the time to listen to us.
Your presence means the world and it shows commitment to understanding and supporting survivors and Americans.
I stand before you today with a heavy heart.
I originated from Brazil and I came to the United States when I was eight years old.
I was only 14 when I first encountered Jeffrey Epstein, and my daughter is now almost at that age.
At 14, the only things she should be concerned with are going to school, practicing at her cheerleading competitions, and enjoying her time with her friends and family.
She should not have to bear the burden of worrying about being manipulated or exploited.
And let me just tell you how much I can relate to that.
My youngest niece is 14 years old.
She literally just made varsity cheerleading.
And first of all, I couldn't be more proud of her being able to, you know, in my school, it was JV and then varsity, no matter what, depending on your grade, this is a much higher level of competition.
You know, she's in there, you know, literally with thousands of students, which wasn't something that I had.
And, you know, that's what she should.
She should be worried about that.
Picked her up from her weight training today.
She should be worried about hanging out with her friends.
She's got a little boyfriend, her age, like sweet little guy.
Okay.
Not worried about some pedo billionaire who's going to manipulate her, use her, promise her the world, and then do God knows what else with a bunch of other monsters.
So yet, gross.
Gross if you want to cover up any aspect to this.
At this age, she is still a child, and no child should ever have to face such threats.
I also want to address a troubling statement made by a prominent figure on a major platform who suggested that a 14-year-old should not be considered a victim of pedophilia.
This is a dangerous and incorrect notion.
When we talk about how children at 14 should still be treated as children, I ask you to look at the young people around you.
Remember when you were that age?
Do you think you should have been responsible for being groomed?
Put yourselves in our position when we were young.
I'm here today not to just share my story, but to call on all of you to help make a difference.
We need to support to push for the Transparency Act and release the Epstein files.
Please reach out to your Congress members and senators and urge them to support this crucial legislation.
The truth is something that we all deserve, and it is vital for safety and protection of a future of generations.
Think about all the young people in your life, your daughters, your nieces, your friends.
Let's stand together and ensure that they grow up in a world where they are safe and valued.
I often wondered, why did this happen to me?
And then I realized God only gives you what you can handle.
I'm here for a purpose, and that purpose is to make a difference today.
So let's stand together to protect our children and our peace.
Thank you.
Loved it.
Loved it.
Good job, Sam.
Good morning.
I want to say a few things before I begin.
My speech may not be great.
It was thrown together last minute as I only came here decided Friday when one of us who has spoken several times decided she couldn't come because of the threats.
She was too scared.
So I want to say, when you threaten one of us, you're threatening all of us.
We are together now.
And that's never going to change.
This is me at 16 when I met Jeffrey Epstein.
Now I'll start.
It is an honor to stand here before the American people.
However, I shouldn't have to stand here at all.
I'm here because as a child, I was pulled into Jeffrey Epstein's world, a world built on exploitation and manipulation of innocence and the protection of powerful men and women who believed that they were untouchable.
Today, we'd rather be preparing for the holidays.
We'd rather be at home with our families, baking with our children and decorating the Christmas tree as we try to move past this horrific moment that has impacted our entire adult lives.
However, that's not possible because it's become something it should have never been, political and sensationalized.
The truth is simple.
We were victimized as children and failed repeatedly by the very system that was supposed to protect us.
That's why we stand here today, to demand justice and accountability, not just for Epstein and his crimes, but for every predator and every enabler who participates in or protects abusers.
The Epstein case was gravely mishandled consistently and deliberately over many years.
Epstein could have been stopped decades ago, but instead he was able to continue his abuse, even during his sweetheart deal.
Yes, with his ankle monitor on and beyond.
A deal that protected him and silenced us.
While I was a child fighting to survive what happened to us, federal prosecutors were negotiating ways to shield powerful adults.
And the failures didn't stop there.
Our civil cases were met with hostile judges and delay tactics, intimidation, and PR campaigns designed to smear us in the public eye.
We were treated as problems to be managed instead of victims to be protected.
Today, something has changed.
Individually, our voices were whispers.
Together, they've become impossible to ignore.
We are encouraged to see elected officials from both parties, thank you, come together and finally take action to release the files.
I'll leave it there.
Thank you.
No, thank you.
Thank you again.
16.
Good morning.
My name is Wendy, and I'm standing here today with a truth that still scares me to say out loud.
I'm going to put this down because I can't hold both, as you guys saw, but that was me when I was 14 when I met Jeffrey Epstein.
None of us here signed up for this political warfare.
We never asked to be dragged into battles between people who never protected us in the first place.
We are exhausted from surviving the trauma and then surviving the politics that swirl around it.
When survivors travel to speak, to advocate, to stand for the truth, we do it with our own money, from our own pockets, carrying our own fear, shaking in our own bodies.
There is no team.
There is no paycheck.
It's just us hoping our voices make a difference.
And it puts a pit right in your stomach because you know you're standing on the right side of history.
But standing on the right side of history is not a comfortable place to be.
It never has been.
And in a sick, heartbreaking way, it's an honor, an honor to show up, an honor to speak here, and an honor to stand in light where when the world tried to keep us in the dark.
And what keeps me standing is even with all this fear, I have a 14-year-old daughter myself, the same age I was.
And when I look at her, I see the little girl I used to be, the one that no one protected.
My greatest fear in this entire world is history repeating itself.
And I will do anything, absolutely anything, to make sure that she has to never be one of these girls standing in front of a crowd like this today in her life.
So today, from the safest and bravest places inside myself, I am asking Congress, please pass the bill.
Please release the records.
Stop making survivors fight alone for the truth that should have protected us in the first place.
To the representatives that support us, thank you.
Thank you for standing beside survivors so we don't have to face this fear alone.
Thank you for choosing what is right over what is easy.
And every survivor who is scared right now, your fear is real.
Your courage is real.
And even though we're terrified, we keep showing up because someone has to tell the truth.
Someone has to protect these children.
We deserve safety then.
We deserved it now, or we deserve it now.
And we are done being afraid so others can stay comfortable.
So with that, I want to say thank you guys for having us.
And I just hope that people can remember that as survivors, our story never leaves us, but the choice that you make to pass this bill, your career is in front of you.
And that choice will follow you.
Everybody will know.
So thank you.
Good job.
And she's right.
And, you know, it was very powerful of her to talk about standing on the right side of history and how uncomfortable that is.
But throughout history, it has been uncomfortable with the most important of issues.
So thank you very much, Wendy.
You're incredible.
Hello, everybody.
My name is Danny Benske.
This was me at 17 years old.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Coming from the dance world, I was recruited in 2004 after a systematic breaking down where Epstein leveraged my mother's brain tumor scans.
He threatened me to withhold care for her.
He trapped me in a year-long cycle of abuse.
The last time I was here in Washington, D.C., I talked about being a part of this beautiful mosaic of women behind me, and they are exactly that.
They are a beautiful mosaic of energy, passion, and love and life.
I am one story of a thousand.
You think of that number, a thousand.
I spoke of how big our hopes and dreams once were, and I talked about how they were completely shattered at the hands of Galene Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.
Now I look at this amazing community behind me.
They are survivor sisters.
We are together.
We stand together in this.
And I realize that we are a representation of women across America.
We come from different backgrounds.
We have different religions.
We are different races, different creeds, different ethnicities.
We have different political affiliations.
Some of us don't want to be political at all.
And yet we stand here together for this cause.
We're united in the call for transparency, complete transparency to find justice.
Justice for our younger selves.
These pictures that you see, they're real people.
I wish I could go back and give my former self a hug and say, this matters and it's going to change and mean it.
We are standing here for justice for the youth of tomorrow and justice for those who are no longer with us, like the beautiful, brave Virginia Jufray.
We understand that the road is long, but I implore you to stay the course, please.
Living in an age where you can get news in 10-second clips on your phone, I know that this is a big task for us, but it's a very personal one for survivors.
It's a very personal one for us as a country.
So I'd like to ask you to try something right now.
I'd like you, I'd like everybody to close their eyes or soften their gaze just for a moment.
And I want everybody to think of a child that is close to them between the ages of 14 and 18 years old.
It could be your daughter.
It could be your niece.
It could be a friend's kids.
It could be you at a former age.
It could be your mother at that age.
But really envision that for a second, 14 to 18 years old.
Once you think of that person, I want you to think about what they feel like.
What is their energy?
What do they smell like?
What sound do they make when they laugh?
Really think about that child just for a moment.
Now I want you to picture a pair of giant looming wooden doors and an overbearing marble landing.
Those are the doors to Jeffrey Epstein's house.
Do you allow that child to enter or not?
If the answer is yes, you would allow entrance.
You stand with predators.
If the answer is no, then congratulations, you're on the right side of justice.
Now you have homework.
I am calling for the American people.
You have homework.
Call your congressional leaders.
Call your senators.
Please support this bill.
Let's get it all released.
Thank you very much.
Good morning.
My name is Annie Farmer, and this is a photo of me and my sister Maria Farmer.
Around the time I was 16 and she was 25, that's how old we were when we were abused by Epstein and Maxwell.
Survivors have repeatedly stated that our pursuit of transparency and justice is a nonpartisan issue.
But given the political noise surrounding this case, I just want to remind people of some of the facts.
In 1996, when my sister Maria bravely blew the whistle on this group by reporting to the FBI what Epstein and Maxwell did to both of us, they hung up on the phone on her and there was no follow-up of any kind.
Bill Clinton was president.
And I want people to remember that.
You know, this is Annie Farmer.
Maria Farmer was recruited when she was overage, and that is true of many of these trafficking victims.
But then, you know, they attempted to abuse her younger sister.
And Annie Farmer, you know, has been one of these large-scale advocates.
But Maria also talked about the surveillance room in the Manhattan home, right?
So, you know, the question is, why would the FBI, why would there be no records whatsoever in their denial?
But then there wasn't an official denial.
You know, it seems like Maria, again, did try to blow the whistle in the late 90s.
It's almost 15 years before the Palm Beach case.
In 2006, the FBI came to us, finally interviewed us, and asked us both to be witnesses against Epstein.
We were very anxious, but we agreed.
And then we didn't hear back from them due to their infamous sweetheart deal.
George W. Bush was president.
In 2015, when the DOJ was sent FOIA requests for Maria's FBI files and they were denied, as they have been many times, Barack Obama was president.
In 2019, when Epstein died in prison due to either negligence or foul play, Donald Trump was president.
In 2023, Maria's attorneys sent a letter on her behalf to the government requesting an investigation into the repeated law enforcement failures in this case, similar to what was done in the case of Larry Nassar.
They declined to do so.
Consequently, my sister filed notice that she would be suing the government for failing to uphold its legal, ethical, and moral duties in this case.
Joe Biden was president.
This year, after campaigning on a pledge to finally release the files, under Trump's second presidency, the DOJ announced they were closing the investigation into Epstein's co-conspirators and then transferred Gilan Maxwell into a prison camp where it is well documented that she is receiving special treatment.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And yeah.
This is not an issue of a few corrupt Democrats or a few corrupt Republicans.
This is a case of institutional betrayal.
Because these crimes were not properly investigated.
So many more girls and women were harmed.
My sister, because of her bravery, was repeatedly threatened and lived in fear with dire consequences for her health and her career.
30 years later, even as oceans of allegations and obvious truths have emerged, the government has still not chosen transparency.
This is why we have all come together as one united voice to demand the release of all the Epstein files and to finally bring the truth out of the shadows.
Thank you, Annie Farmer.
I mean nailing it right there.
it.
Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed members of Congress and everyone gathered here today.
I want to start by thanking the three of you.
Thank you.
It takes a lot of bravery to do what you're doing.
We hear you.
We see you.
It means a lot for you to be here with us, and I know my sister would be incredibly proud.
This is the moment she was fighting for and the moment that all survivors are fighting for.
So thank you.
My name is Sky Roberts, and I stand before you as the brother of Virginia Roberts Duffrey, a warrior, a mother, and a sister whose legacy will forever resonate in the hearts of those who understand the fight against injustice.
Today, we find ourselves in a place of deep sorrow, shattered by the loss of our beloved sister.
Yet, we are honored and privileged to carry her voice forward and continue her relentless fight alongside her fellow survivor sisters.
Virginia's story is one that should have been filled with promise, but instead it became a harrowing tale of exploitation and survival.
At just 16 years old, she took a job at Mar-a-Largo, believing she had secured a dream summer position.
But that dream quickly morphed into a nightmare when Ghelaine Maxwell preyed upon her innocence.
This isn't just the story of one girl, it's a story about the insidious nature of power and abuse, a dark chapter in our society that must be told.
Virginia was no stranger to trauma.
In her memoir, Nobody's Girl, she shares the painful truth that she had already suffered abuse at the hands of our father and a family friend.
But what happened next was unfathomable.
Epstein and Maxwell didn't just abuse her, they trafficked her to a network of the rich and powerful.
Princes, prime ministers, politicians, financiers, and lawyers.
These men committed unspeakable acts against her, against her will, and against the will of countless survivors who stand united with us today.
Virginia's strength was tested in many ways that most of us can hardly imagine.
She was manipulated, coerced, and threatened, forced into complicity in her own devastation.
She often spoke of psychological scars that ran deeper than the physical ones.
From the start, she wrote, They manipulated me into participating in behaviors that ate away at me, eroding my ability to comprehend reality and preventing me from defending myself.
The most destructive wound they inflicted was that of forced complicity, a betrayal of self that was crafted by her abusers.
But I stand here today to declare that their tactics of fear and intimidation did not work.
Virginia's spirit could not be broken.
She became a beacon of hope, a warrior, fighting not just for herself, but for every survivor who suffered in silence.
She said, I felt it was my duty to stand up to predators like Epstein and Maxwell.
I would put my neck on the line to make sure my daughter never has to go through what I had to endure.
These survivors, like Virginia, have transformed into mothers and strong women, fierce in the face of adversity.
Many of them have daughters the same age they were when they faced their own abuse.
They are determined to break the cycle, to shatter the silence that has kept so many in the shadows.
Virginia quoted in her memoir: There I was, as the mother of three children, I felt it was my duty to stand up to predators like Epstein and Maxwell.
I said, I mentioned to Ellie in particular, her daughter.
I would put my neck on the line to make sure she never has to go through what I had to go through.
I said, joining Edwards' CVRA case, said I, what I would want somebody to do for my daughter or sister and friend.
In the end, I said, I was just trying to do the right thing.
That's what I felt like I'm doing.
I said, I'm making a small dent in this big world we live in.
Well, sissy, You didn't just make a small debt.
You made a monumental impact.
A resounding statement that echoed across the world.
You built an unbreakable wall, a barrier that will protect future generations from the horrors of abuse.
As we gather here today, I urge each of you, members of Congress, advocates, and all those who hear this message to join us in this fight.
We demand justice, accountability, and support for survivors.
And we keep getting asked this.
What does justice mean, you ask?
It starts with acknowledgement.
That's the first step.
Acknowledge in the face of survivors that this happened and that this is true.
Your vote carries that weight.
My sister is not a political tool for you to use.
These survivors are not political tools for you to use.
These are real stories, real trauma, and it's time for you to stop just talking about it and act.
Vote yes.
Virginia's legacy is not just hers.
It belongs to all of us who stand against injustice.
Together, we will ensure that the voices of survivors are heard, that the truth prevails, and that the horrors of the past are never repeated.
Thank you.
Thank you for listening.
And thank you for standing with us.
Together, we will not let Virginia's fight be in vain.
Together, we will not let the predators win.
Together, we will be the change this world desperately needs.
Thank you.
Hell of a send-off for Virginia Guffray Roberts by her brother, who, you know, read subsections off of Nobody's Girl.
And look, you know, we've talked about it before.
We talked about what happened just prior with this supposed car accident, a bus.
And, you know, the evidence does show she took her own life.
I know a lot of people don't want to hear that, but if anything had happened otherwise, you can bet that Skye would have actually said something in that regards.
And, you know, he did mention the fact that this is, you know, his sister had been abused by the father, the family friend, and then traffic to these individuals through that Epstein network that we talk about.
it was so beautiful this is me when i met jeffrey epstein in 1991.
I always share the date when I talk about my story because people rarely, rarely acknowledge how long this has actually been going on.
And for too long, truth has been buried, survivors have been silenced, and powerful people have been protected.
And today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government still belongs to the American people or to those who prey on them.
Because when mountains of evidence and decades of victim reports across five administrations still lead to sweetheart deals or no prosecution at all, this isn't just one case gone wrong.
It's an institutional failure on a historic scale, and every member of Congress and this administration must answer for that failure.
Millions of sexual abuse survivors know the pain of speaking up and watching the institutions that are meant to protect them look away.
We're not alone in this.
Epstein may be the headline, but the betrayal reaches every corner of our country.
And if our justice system can collapse this completely for so long, then Congress cannot pretend that the system is working.
Not for us, and not for the generations that will live with the consequences of what they choose now.
One long overdue step towards repairing this damage is the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Because without transparency, there's no accountability.
Without accountability, there is no justice.
And without justice, democracy dies.
So, representatives, you have a choice to show millions of Americans whether you stand with us or with the powerful predators that are counting on your complicity.
Thank you.
Good job. Good morning.
This is me.
This was me.
My name is Charlene Rochard, and I stand before you today, not as a victim of rumor or conspiracy, but as a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse.
Far too long, survivors like me have been dismissed, silenced, are told that our pain was exaggerated or fabricated.
Let me be clear.
This is not a hoax.
Yes, it's not.
What we endured was real, and it has scarred lives across five presidential administrations.
The truth has been buried in sealed files and hidden records for far too long.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act is not just about survivors, it's about America itself.
How can we keep America great if the principles the nation was founded on, that power belongs to the people, is not protected?
No one, no matter how wealthy and well-connected, stands above the law.
If we cannot face the truth, then we betray the very ideals that define us as a country.
By passing this act, Congress has the chance to prove that truth matters more than privilege, that justice matters more than influence, and that America has the courage to confront even the most uncomfortable realities.
This is not just about survivors.
It's about every American who believes in accountability, fairness, and the promise of justice.
I stand here today not only for myself, but for every survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse who has carried this burden in silence, and for every citizen who believes that justice delayed is justice denied.
I want to thank Representatives Ro Conna and Thomas Massey for standing with us.
Thank you.
And I especially want to thank Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Her unwavering support, her courage to stand with us and demand transparency gives us strength.
Thank you.
It shows that this fight for accountability is bigger than politics.
It's about humanity, justice, and truth.
This is about America's future.
It's about whether we, the people, will be heard when we have the courage to stand for truth and justice.
Our voices are real.
Our pain is real.
And our demand for justice will not be silenced.
Thank you.
Amen.
And again, with 427 to 1, you really do hope that it is unanimous or, you know, the outlier, whatever gets shamed like Higgins should in the Senate.
There are no amendments and there are no restrictions on these files.
You know, I mean, again, some of the big names are already out there.
We've talked about it for years, whether it be Ahud Barak, you know, in Virginia Roberts' case, the Hood Barack name has been out there.
The name of Prince Andrew, obviously, who she won in a lawsuit against where he actually conceded.
Names such as Bill Clinton have been associated with these girls, whether or not any of them were underage when they had a relationship with him, who knows.
But again, we had Massey talking about magicians.
There certainly seemed to be those individuals that had ties to Epstein, including Copperfield was in his little black book.
But then you got David Blaine as well.
There's a lot there.
It spans a long time.
Hello.
Good for you, girl.
My name is Laura Bloom McGee.
This is my first time speaking publicly about my abuse.
As a one young woman in New York City, I was pursuing a modeling career and building a life of giving back through my philanthropic work.
Instead, I was intentionally groomed and became part of an international model sex trafficking ring that was led by Jeffrey Epstein.
I was sexually and mentally abused by Jeffrey Epstein.
He used my dreams and vulnerabilities to silence me.
Today, I am here to break that silence.
Sex trafficking and sexual abuse are crimes against human beings.
Not political talking points.
For too long, Epstein's abuse was an open secret with his network remained protected.
Evil thrives in darkness.
We must shine a light on every corner where it hides.
Nothing should be off limits in the search for truth.
Please vote that everything in the files be released.
Let investigations proceed without obstruction.
Demand oversight and deliver justice.
The government must never side with predators.
I come as one survivor, but I stand here for everyone who prayed for me, who believed in me, and who hoped for me.
To my fellow survivors, your courage brought me here.
We are more than victims.
We are mothers, daughters, sisters, friends.
This is not a hoax, and we will not be erased.
Shame on any elected official who obstructs truth and justice for the American people.
Thank you.
Now, again, I've talked about this, and I've talked about not only Epstein and the modeling world, but also people like Claude Hadid and the modeling world.
And again, how these individuals are either abused directly, abused, and then redirected to others to curry favor.
Yes, the blackmail is there as well.
All this is important, every bit of it.
By the way, big shout out to PJ Wolf says thank you ladies for standing up absolutely, one after another at this press conference today prior to the 427 to 1 vote to release the files.
My name is Liz Stein.
In 1994, I was a senior in college, just 21 years old.
I had aspirations of attending law school after graduation, and it looked like I had a bright future ahead of me.
1994 was also the year I met Ghillain Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.
My involvement with them changed the trajectory of my entire life.
The Epstein files are not about loyalty to any one political party.
They're evidence of a crime.
We stand here today, victims of the crime of sex trafficking.
I'm here today speaking both for my 21-year-old self and for the countless number of people who have experienced sexual violence.
When I am asked what I would tell my younger self if I could say something, I say that I would tell myself to tell someone.
And if they don't listen, to tell someone else.
And to just keep telling until someone listens.
And even if nobody listens to you, you should be proud of yourself because you stood in your uncomfortable truth when others could not.
And that is true bravery.
We stand here today as survivors, part of a sorority that none of us asked to join.
We have told our stories over and over and over.
Now it's time to see who was listening.
We ask that you vote to release the files, all of them, so the victims of this crime can finally see justice.
Thank you.
Amen.
well hello everyone and And I want to first say thank you for your ongoing leadership.
I know it must not be an easy thing to do, much like it's not easy for us to be doing this.
So I guess we're in this together.
So thank you so much.
I feel like our courage has, you know, we're reflecting mirroring courage because that's what it takes to do this, right?
So this was me at 22 years old.
I was not a child, technically.
Very young adult.
I imagine most of you here can relate to the mindset and to be 22 years old.
So today is a good day and I thank God for that.
It's widely and undeniably clear that our Current political climate is quite rigid and seemingly at war with one another.
This sets a stage.
This sets a stage for voices, survivor voices, to get spoken over and drowned out by the political darts whizzing by.
Not today, though.
Today, our truth and our power have steadily risen up.
We are at the peak.
Our voices prevail today.
Our voices initiated the coming together of both political parties.
That's pretty big, I think.
Republicans and Democrats, we all stand together today.
We all stand together for justice, and we must continue to do so to protect the integrity of our country and our democracy.
Truth and justice must prevail.
The children today are those that will lead this nation one day.
Think about that.
What does that mean to each of you?
If anyone doubts that this does not directly contribute to the fate of our country and democracy, I challenge you and I urge you to think again.
Our voices are a fundamental pillar of future generations.
Today, that's what we stand here for: accountability, action, and justice.
Let's get this vote done today.
Let's send it through the Senate and straight to President Trump's desk for signing.
I'd like to be there that day that he signs.
I'm sure all of us would like to be there.
Today is a good day, and let's keep moving forward.
Thank you so much.
I'm going to give you a hug.
Hey, guys, we're actually pressed for time, so we are not going to be taking questions going further.
I bring back Rokana.
He's going to do closing conversation and comments.
Well, thank you, Hilliot.
Teresa is right.
It's pretty big what the survivors have accomplished today.
And I just want to say how eloquent, strong, and admirable they were.
Let's give them a round of applause for their courage.
Thomas and Marjorie and I will take a few questions from people who have been in the middle of the day.
ahead.
So before we go into what was just said, first of all, you know, again, I've talked about the spanning of the ages and how some of these people were in fact legal and And again, it is not only the serial abuse of the young girls, but the black operations that Epstein was a part of.
And this canard that the victims are not being protected, and that's the question, is just an untrue one.
So here's Massey addressing that.
That's been a red herring all along.
The survivors have always been in favor of this legislation, and there's a provision in there you can read if he would just read it that protects them.
Now, if he wants to offer more protections in the Senate, that's fine with us.
But here's the problem.
Now we have to vote on it again in the House.
And so, as you heard, justice delayed is justice denied.
It could be just another delay tactic, but we want to.
That's the motivation?
I think the Speaker wants to save face.
He's going to vote for a piece of legislation today that he's disparaged for four months.
And however, he needs to come on board, we want him on board.
So we appreciate that.
We've actually seen this.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
I wonder, what do you say today to Andrew McClasser, the man formerly known as Prince Andrew?
Well, you know, there's becoming a reckoning in Britain that needs to happen in the United States.
A prince lost his title.
The ambassador to the United States lost his job.
We need to see those same kind of consequences here.
As my colleague Roe said, there shouldn't be buildings named after these perpetrators of these heinous crimes.
There shouldn't be scholarships named after them.
And there needs to be accounting.
We've seen tens of thousands of pages released by the Oversight Committee.
What we've not seen is a single name.
So I implore you to look and see if we have true justice and transparency here.
And the survivors, the survivors will know when that has happened.
And I do think that Prince Andrew does need to come and testify at our oversight committee, and that can be bipartisan.
But I share Thomas's view that the urgency that the British people have shown in getting justice needs to inspire an urgency here in America.
You don't need legislation.
You don't need legislation.
Go ahead.
You don't need legislation to get the files released.
President Trump could just release them today.
But is that frustrating?
Why isn't he?
Also, did you ask him to be here today?
It's a really powerful moment there.
She's asking about the frustration why they even need legislation to get these files released.
Look, I'll let my colleague speak.
I hope the president meets the survivors, and I hope when he signs the bill, the survivors are there.
I don't care if I'm there, Thomas Massey is there, Representative Green's there, but the survivors should be there.
But look, and I hope he meets them, because I think if anyone who meets them and sees their emotion will be moved.
And my goal is to get justice here.
So I hope he will meet them and really hear what's happened and actually take action.
But the broader point is, yes, the president could order the Justice Department to release the files.
But in a constitutional democracy, what we're supposed to have is Congress says that the files should be released, and then it's not on the whim of any president.
Then the Justice Department is compelled to release those files because that's the law of the land.
So, Senator Merkley is a Democrat.
He's led the exact same legislation that Roe and I introduced in the House.
One Republican co-sponsored his bill yesterday, and I have spoken to at least one more who says they will co-sponsor.
The important thing about the Senate is that they need not to muck this bill up.
There's a lot of attention on here.
We've needlessly spent four months dragging this out.
A representative, a duly elected representative, was denied her seat in Congress for 49 days.
And it's time to pull the band-aid off.
The Senate, you know, it may be tempting for them to get cute and to do things that will limit the release of these documents.
They are afraid that people will be embarrassed.
Well, that's the whole point here.
They need to be brought to justice, and embarrassment is no reason to stop it.
So the Senate, Jon Thune, it's up to him.
He needs to bring this to the floor of the Senate.
And I think the vote today will show that in the House.
And I agree.
I think now, I mean, it's political kryptonite for anybody who opposes it.
Folks, that is going to wrap up the broadcast.
Thumbs it up, subscribe, and share on the way out.

$5, $10, $15.
It means the world to me.
Big donors.
Thank you so much.
Want to give a big shout out to Phil.
We've got the PayPal down below as well.
We've been talking about this issue for well over a decade at this point.
I mean, way.
I mean, really since the inception back in my InfoWars days, 2008, 9, 10, been talking about this.
And we're finding out more and more.
People can say nothing's come out.
I mean, we just found out that not only did Epstein essentially get a politician elected, he was instrumental in dictating what would be asked of Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer, as it happened through that politician.
Big deal.
Big deal.
Okay, we learned about Michael Wolf's sleazy behavior for a pile of money.
Big deal.
And there is more to come.
So in this regard, more light is being shed on the darkness.
