Transcript

00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard. So I wanted to bring up something from all the way back in
00:00:06.060 2021 from the Human Events Archives. There was an episode that we did, a special on Ghislaine Maxwell
00:00:13.900 all the way back then. Want an award, kind of cool, I don't know, from four years ago. And I
00:00:20.380 wanted to play that for you now because Jeffrey Epstein is certainly in the news. So check this
00:00:25.620 out from the Human Events Archive. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard for today's Human Events
00:00:34.400 special powered by Turning Point USA. This special is titled Ghislaine Maxwell Exposed. We're going to
00:00:42.320 have four segments here. First, Epstein's Lolita Express photos have just been revealed in the
00:00:49.380 Ghislaine Maxwell case. Next, Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and French model recruiter Jean-Luc Brunel
00:00:56.680 will explain all of it. Third, Ghislaine Maxwell, who was her father and why does she believe that he
00:01:02.940 was mysteriously murdered? And fourth, a new Epstein victim has come forward and stated that Ghislaine
00:01:09.420 Maxwell tortured and abused me. All of this and we're ahead, plus all of the breaking details in
00:01:14.640 the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, Human Events Daily. Well, today, the Ghislaine Maxwell trial is
00:01:30.580 continuing. We're also hearing the testimony for the first time in open court. One of the Epstein
00:01:37.720 victims, her name, Annie Farmer, is taking this down. Now, the other victims have testified anonymously.
00:01:43.720 Jane one, Kate one, et cetera, et cetera, using pseudonyms. This one, Annie Farmer, she is taking her
00:01:50.880 power back. She is coming forward and she is coming forward publicly, naming herself. And she's been out
00:01:57.140 there in the past before doing interviews, et cetera. But while many other Epstein victims, for example,
00:02:03.240 Virginia Jeffrey Roberts, have not testified in this case, we are today, this week, hearing testimony
00:02:09.460 from Annie Farmer. But next up, we are going to talk about this massive treasure trove of photos that's been
00:02:17.560 released. Some of the photos include the Lolita Express. But many of the photos, as we now know, the 20,000 that
00:02:26.800 were kept behind by the FBI are still being kept out of evidence. So we only have to go on what we've been
00:02:34.060 provided. We've given a slight, maybe 1%, the tip of the iceberg in terms of the 20,000 images that were
00:02:41.700 recovered in the Epstein investigation by the FBI. First up, I want you to listen to actual testimony
00:02:49.580 of Epstein during one of his depositions before he died.
00:02:53.220 Would you raise your hand, please? Did you solemnly swear to testimony you're about to give in the matter?
00:02:56.640 Now, penning should be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
00:02:59.100 Yes, ma'am.
00:03:01.840 Would you please state your full name?
00:03:04.260 I'm Jeffrey Edward Epstein, and my residence address is 6100 Red Hook Boulevard in Virgin Islands.
00:03:11.220 Do you maintain any other residences presently?
00:03:14.760 I have vacation homes in New Mexico, Palm Beach, New York, and Paris.
00:03:23.680 Have you ever been convicted of a crime?
00:03:26.660 Yes.
00:03:27.900 What was the crime of which you were convicted?
00:03:32.660 Two counts. One, soliciting prostitution and procuring a minor for prostitution.
00:03:42.380 Do you, in fact, commit those acts?
00:03:45.460 I'm going to love my Fifth Amendment right.
00:03:47.600 How many times have you solicited a minor for prostitution?
00:03:51.480 Same answer.
00:03:52.340 How many times have you solicited a minor for prostitution in the state of Florida?
00:03:56.500 Same answer.
00:03:57.520 Have you ever solicited a minor for prostitution in the Virgin Islands?
00:04:02.020 Same answer.
00:04:03.600 Now, again, this is one of those episodes where, of course, if you're listening on the podcast,
00:04:08.000 you're not going to be able to see these images, but I'll do my best to be able to describe them to you.
00:04:12.720 So, of course, I've said before many, many times, this case is not about an investigation.
00:04:19.940 They are not telling us the truth of the Epstein network.
00:04:23.100 What they are doing is covering it all up and making it out so that Ghislaine Maxwell will go away.
00:04:28.880 I predict she will be convicted.
00:04:30.700 I'll be shocked if she's not, but we'll see.
00:04:33.160 The case is wrapping up much quicker than anyone anticipated.
00:04:36.100 Originally, they told us six weeks.
00:04:37.300 Now it looks like it's going to be cut down to two weeks.
00:04:39.400 It's probably going to be actually shorter, when all is said and done, shorter than the Kyle Rittenhouse case.
00:04:44.000 So that everything that Ghislaine Maxwell was doing, everything that Jeffrey Epstein was doing,
00:04:48.600 it's going to boil down to a two-week case in the dead of winter, right before Christmas,
00:04:54.360 when most people are checked out.
00:04:55.940 And that's when the verdict will come in.
00:04:57.340 Are you paying attention yet?
00:04:59.600 These people know exactly what they're doing, and that's why James Comey's daughter is leading the prosecution.
00:05:06.240 But we did get some photos released from the Southern District of New York, and we're going to go through those.
00:05:12.340 First up, there is a photo released.
00:05:15.200 Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, they're sitting on a porch in front of a log cabin.
00:05:20.780 Well, people have noticed that that is the exact same log cabin that's owned by who?
00:05:25.760 The Queen of England and the royal family.
00:05:28.640 That's at Balmoral Estate.
00:05:30.940 And they're sitting right on the same porch as Queen Elizabeth.
00:05:34.240 Next up, a photo of Epstein's massage room.
00:05:38.580 There's oils, there's lotions all over the place.
00:05:41.420 It looks like something that you'd see in a seedy strip mall spa.
00:05:45.980 This is the exact room where many of the women, including the accusers that came up in this case,
00:05:52.460 stated that a lot of this abuse actually took place.
00:05:55.720 Next, this is a picture of a shelf with about a dozen binders on it.
00:06:00.680 The binders, of course, have been redacted by the FBI.
00:06:03.860 Next up, we've got a picture of Jeffrey Epstein holding his hand on Ghislaine Maxwell's belly.
00:06:08.380 We also had testimony that Ghislaine Maxwell was pregnant.
00:06:12.380 What's going on here?
00:06:13.560 And finally, a photo of Ghislaine Maxwell and Kevin Spacey, who's faced his own accusations,
00:06:19.620 sitting on the thrones of Buckingham Palace.
00:06:23.300 These people are sick.
00:06:53.300 That's something that we do every year.
00:06:55.840 Obviously, we don't make a huge deal out of it, but I'm just offering it as a possible opportunity for you.
00:07:01.040 If you want to support American workers, support American families, you go to MyPillow.com.
00:07:05.160 You've got the sheets, the toppers, the towels.
00:07:07.440 You've got everything there, the Bible pillows.
00:07:09.100 That's one thing that I really appreciate.
00:07:11.680 We've got those for the kids so that we can pass our stories down, pass our traditions down to everybody.
00:07:17.580 MyPillow.com, promo code POSO.
00:07:20.460 Next up, and I apologize, folks.
00:07:22.620 I know this is heady stuff.
00:07:23.820 I know this is heady stuff.
00:07:25.360 One of the photos that was released just yesterday in this case, it shows Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell,
00:07:33.580 and a French model recruiter flying on the Lolita Express.
00:07:39.560 What it shows in the photo, and I'll have to describe this for people who aren't watching,
00:07:45.320 and if you do have children around, be careful about this one.
00:07:49.420 Maybe turn this down or put it on the AirPods, et cetera.
00:07:52.700 It shows Jeffrey Epstein's foot, and it's being massaged by Ghislaine Maxwell.
00:07:58.140 Her shirt is basically open.
00:08:01.000 It's definitely showing some buttons unbuttoned at the top.
00:08:05.800 You can't really see anything from the angle, but it's a very disturbing photo.
00:08:10.200 But next to them on the plane is Jean-Luc Brunel.
00:08:13.660 Who is Jean-Luc Brunel?
00:08:15.580 Well, from NBC last year, almost one year ago today, December 19th, 2020,
00:08:20.840 a modeling agent who is suspected of organizing the accommodation of young girls or young women
00:08:26.840 on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein has been charged with the rape of minors, a French prosecutor said.
00:08:31.840 Jean-Luc Brunel was arrested as part of an ongoing investigation on Wednesday
00:08:36.440 at Charles de Gaulle Airport, the airport of Paris,
00:08:40.360 as he was preparing to take a flight to Senegal in Africa.
00:08:44.300 Listen to one of his accusers who came out publicly and spoke at that time.
00:08:49.180 I reported Brunel to the police 10 months ago,
00:08:52.120 and I knew that my case was passed the statute of limitations,
00:09:01.400 but I did it anyway.
00:09:03.800 I reported him anyway, just to inspire other victims to come forward.
00:09:09.180 It happened to me when I was 18, when I was a model in Paris.
00:09:13.020 That was when Brunel raped me.
00:09:15.640 And I was really ashamed.
00:09:19.460 As a young girl, I was really ashamed, and I felt also guilty that that happened to me.
00:09:25.900 So for years, I tried to forget and to not think about it, but that doesn't work, you know.
00:09:34.380 So I suffered depression.
00:09:36.800 There were times that I partied really hard and used drugs and alcohol just to don't feel the pain, you know.
00:09:47.400 I really hope that he will stand trial and that he's not, like, getting bail and vanishing somewhere.
00:10:03.640 Paris prosecutor Remy Heights said in a news release that he was charged with sexual harassment
00:10:09.140 and the rape of minors over 15 years old by a magistrate on Friday at the end of Brunel's custody period.
00:10:17.280 So understand what's going on here.
00:10:20.100 And we've got testimony on this.
00:10:21.760 We've got evidence of this.
00:10:22.800 We've got accusers coming out on this.
00:10:24.220 Even though he was charged with this specific crime, we know what his role was.
00:10:29.980 He was the Ghislaine Maxwell of France.
00:10:33.640 For Jeffrey Epstein, he was Epstein's other recruiter.
00:10:37.700 Epstein may have had multiple recruiters that we don't even know about yet because, again,
00:10:42.100 this investigation is not going on.
00:10:44.580 It's not being broached beyond what we know in court, right?
00:10:48.020 We've got Ghislaine Maxwell is in court.
00:10:50.880 Jean-Luc Brunel is in court or is going to be in court in France.
00:10:53.520 And they're going to make the entire thing go away.
00:10:56.500 These are incredibly powerful people.
00:10:58.600 They were running in some of the top circles of the entire Western world.
00:11:03.660 And we know what they were doing.
00:11:04.860 This was an industrial level recruitment operation where, and you can hear some of this in court,
00:11:10.360 some of the tactics they were using, some of the TTPs.
00:11:12.620 You would find someone when they were young.
00:11:14.380 Where would you go?
00:11:14.900 You would go to schools.
00:11:15.840 You would go to modeling agencies.
00:11:17.160 You would say, hey, I can make you a star.
00:11:19.320 Hey, I can make you famous.
00:11:20.300 Or, hey, I can give you some work, right?
00:11:22.460 So there's different levels on this, different tracks.
00:11:25.960 So Ghislaine Maxwell, that was more the massage track.
00:11:28.720 Jean-Luc Brunel, this was more, I'm going to make you a star.
00:11:31.560 I'm going to make you famous, very similar to what Harvey Weinstein was doing.
00:11:35.800 But instead, he was going and targeting people that were underage.
00:11:40.680 He was targeting people who were teenagers or, in some cases, even younger than that.
00:11:44.600 And they were all brought forward to Jeffrey Epstein.
00:11:47.500 Many of them made it down to that island in the Caribbean.
00:11:50.780 So understand this operation and understand how broad-reaching, international this really went.
00:11:56.960 They targeted women who were at risk, girls who were at the age where they didn't know what the rules were.
00:12:03.480 They didn't know what the law was.
00:12:05.020 They didn't know what they were doing was wrong in many cases.
00:12:07.360 Or by the time they figured out the situation they were in, they were trapped.
00:12:10.600 You hear people saying, they took my passport away.
00:12:12.600 They took my phone away.
00:12:13.540 What was I going to do?
00:12:14.360 How could I get out?
00:12:15.740 That is rape.
00:12:17.720 And this was an industrial-level child sex operation that was going on at the highest levels.
00:12:28.420 Now, much has been made about Ghislaine Maxwell.
00:12:32.820 But we also have to talk about Ghislaine Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell.
00:12:37.920 Who was he?
00:12:39.280 What kind of circles did he run in?
00:12:41.300 What was he all about?
00:12:42.300 And more importantly, most importantly, perhaps, how did he die?
00:12:47.760 And what were the circumstances of this mysterious death?
00:12:52.080 First, let's start with a photo.
00:12:53.780 For people listening, here is Robert Maxwell standing with Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
00:13:00.540 Again, we see direct ties to the royal family, direct ties where the Maxwells were going in and out of these circles.
00:13:08.440 It was Robert Maxwell who enabled Ghislaine Maxwell to move into these circles.
00:13:12.460 And then Ghislaine Maxwell used her access to then bring Jeffrey Epstein, who brought along his money, into these circles.
00:13:20.300 Why did they need this money, you ask?
00:13:22.440 Well, simple.
00:13:23.780 Robert Maxwell was a very powerful newspaper publisher in England.
00:13:28.800 He published the Daily Mirror as well as numerous other newspapers throughout the country.
00:13:34.760 These are some of the most powerful tabloids, and they still are, in the UK.
00:13:39.760 Then something happened.
00:13:41.160 One day, 1991, he was found missing from his yacht while he was out sailing near the Canary Islands, Spain.
00:13:51.560 They later found his body naked in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
00:13:58.060 Investigators claimed that it was an accidental death from drowning, that he had fallen overboard, had a heart attack, and then died in the water.
00:14:05.640 But that's not what Ghislaine Maxwell believed, according to her brother.
00:14:09.880 Listen to this.
00:14:10.940 A body has been found in the sea off the Canaries.
00:14:15.920 It would appear very much as if it is that of our father.
00:14:21.320 Well, I mean, it marked a turning point for all of us.
00:14:24.240 One of the most powerful publishers in the world has died, Robert Maxwell.
00:14:27.660 He disappeared today from his yacht.
00:14:29.840 While the official cause of death was a heart attack, a lot of people didn't buy it.
00:14:34.280 Nobody was sure what happened.
00:14:36.960 Some thought it was an accident.
00:14:38.600 Others thought suicide.
00:14:40.760 Ghislaine, however, uniquely in our family, has always thought he was murdered.
00:14:46.380 And she's alone in that.
00:14:48.140 It's her profound conviction that that is what happened.
00:14:51.420 The world's press basically flocked to the Canary Islands in the hope of finding out what had happened.
00:15:07.300 It's Ghislaine who takes the lead, and she stands on the deck of the boat that bears her name and gives a press conference.
00:15:13.560 I want to thank the press for their courtesy and consideration.
00:15:23.420 Throughout his entire career with his businesses, Robert Maxwell ended up getting into billions and billions of dollars of debt.
00:15:32.780 He then proceeded, or he's accused, this later came out after his death, he was accused of pension fraud, basically robbing from his pensions in order to continue to fund his businesses while lying to everybody and cooking the books on this.
00:15:46.160 Why would he do these things?
00:15:47.320 Well, one of the theories out there that's largely suspected by a number of top journalists back in the 1990s who reported on this was that he may have been some sort of an intelligence asset, whether he was a source or an informant or actually potentially an asset himself for either a variety of countries, including Russia, Israel, he was accused of, Czechoslovakia at the time.
00:16:11.260 Some people called him an anti-communist.
00:16:13.180 Some people called him a pro-communist.
00:16:15.300 But the questions surrounding his death and the questions surrounding his access to the royal family have always been questioned.
00:16:24.360 And everybody wants to know what happened.
00:16:26.100 Now, Ghislaine Maxwell has stated that she believes her father was murdered.
00:16:31.240 What we know for sure is that her father had access at some of these extremely high levels.
00:16:37.160 He was getting access to information.
00:16:39.800 A lot around the time was nuclear secrets and who were selling nuclear secrets.
00:16:44.560 Remember, this was a huge part of the arms race back in the 1980s and the 1990s.
00:16:49.140 We're talking about Cold War intelligence.
00:16:52.140 So if it comes out that he was an anti-communist spy, then it very could be the result of a Soviet plot.
00:17:00.720 Again, we're getting way into the weeds here.
00:17:03.040 All we know for sure is that Robert Maxwell was found in the water.
00:17:07.500 He was found dead.
00:17:08.560 He took this trip on this yacht supposedly by himself out in the Canary Islands, out in the Atlantic Ocean.
00:17:16.540 And so around Ghislaine Maxwell, there is nothing but a strong list of mysterious deaths, suicides, accidental deaths, and suspected murder.
00:17:28.680 For our final segment in Ghislaine Maxwell exposed this special episode of Human Events,
00:17:37.260 Sarah Ransome, a victim of Epstein and Maxwell, states,
00:17:43.660 I want Ghislaine behind bars for the rest of her life.
00:17:47.440 And she describes what she calls torture and abuse, rape, by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
00:17:54.780 Here's her appearance on The View yesterday.
00:17:57.140 Okay, first of all, it makes me sick to my stomach that Ghislaine is claiming to be innocent and claiming to be a victim
00:18:06.140 because she was the chief orchestrator.
00:18:09.000 She was the engineer.
00:18:11.260 And Ghislaine is as guilty, if not more, guilty than Jeffrey.
00:18:15.980 How do you say, why do you say she's even more guilty?
00:18:18.400 She broke the sisterhood bond.
00:18:20.080 You know, one would assume she used the fact that she was a woman to normalize being raped.
00:18:27.780 And Ghislaine, this woman, this is the woman that forced me into a room to be raped by Jeffrey
00:18:35.380 and then smoked after I was limping back to the compound where all the survivors had to sleep.
00:18:42.140 She forced me, she knew that by leading me into that room, I was there to be raped.
00:18:49.480 And she took great satisfaction in watching my pain.
00:18:54.160 That's horrible.
00:18:55.220 Sarah Ransom was a British woman who was allegedly raped, according to the Daily Mirror,
00:18:59.600 yes, the same Daily Mirror, multiple times by Jeffrey Epstein on what is dubbed his pedophile island,
00:19:05.520 tried desperately to swim shark-infested waters to escape.
00:19:09.360 Sarah Ransom described her months of alleged torture at the hands of the multimillionaire
00:19:14.100 and Ghislaine Maxwell, during which she is said to have been raped up to three times a day.
00:19:19.940 She said she became so determined to flee Little St. James Island, the financier's private 70-acre isle,
00:19:26.660 she gambled her life in the Caribbean waters.
00:19:28.920 Quote,
00:19:29.160 A shark would have been my best friend at that point.
00:19:33.000 I didn't even think about it.
00:19:34.480 It was just, get me away.
00:19:36.080 But Epstein had installed video cameras all over the island.
00:19:41.080 And his team quickly found Sarah and returned her to the home.
00:19:45.860 Ms. Maxwell, of course, is denying the allegations and is declaring that she is not guilty.
00:19:52.180 But Sarah Ransom has said that Ghislaine Maxwell was the person that brought her in, took her phone away,
00:20:00.160 took her passport away, brought her to Epstein, saw what was going on in those rooms,
00:20:06.060 and apparently, we're told, laughed about it.
00:20:10.000 Now, of course, we're not here to say that we are going to find somebody guilty before a trial,
00:20:15.520 because that's one thing that I've always said, that everyone deserves a fair trial,
00:20:20.520 everyone deserves their hearing in court.
00:20:22.860 But at the same time, we know that there is hard evidence of many of these things that went on on that island.
00:20:30.140 But more importantly, what we want to know, we will always want to know,
00:20:34.300 is what were the names of the Epstein network?
00:20:37.680 August 10, 2019, was the day that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in New York City, in Brooklyn.
00:20:49.120 To this day, we still have questions about just what happened in there.
00:20:56.180 Why was he not kept on suicide watch?
00:20:59.120 Why did the guards not go over to check on this extremely high-profile inmate?
00:21:04.720 Certainly, it wouldn't be the first time that a pedophile had killed themselves in prison.
00:21:10.240 But for someone of this high level, it certainly begs the question, what went wrong?
00:21:17.760 How did Jeffrey Epstein die?
00:21:21.120 Some say it was suicide.
00:21:22.780 Others say it may have been something else.
00:21:25.140 But when it comes to Ghislaine Maxwell, the real question on everyone's mind is,
00:21:29.620 why won't she name names and tell the truth about what was going on on that island, on that plane, for all those years?
00:21:40.620 Ladies and gentlemen, you have my permission to lay ashore.
