00:00:00.000 Well, the biggest news story in the world right now, in case you have been living under a rock
00:00:10.580 and haven't been online, is the unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents, which were released last night
00:00:16.060 by a New York judge. Over 900 pages of court documents in a civil lawsuit filed by Epstein
00:00:22.260 accuser Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend, who's
00:00:27.920 currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for crimes related to child sex trafficking,
00:00:33.180 were finally released to the public after years of being kept private. Extremely high-profile
00:00:39.220 individuals have been named in these documents, two of the most prominent being former U.S.
00:00:45.180 President Bill Clinton and the Duke of York, Prince Andrew, which shouldn't come as any surprise.
00:00:50.680 Clinton has not been accused of any wrongdoing in the latest document dump. However, the allegations
00:00:55.360 against Andrew, which were previously known to the public, were recounted in these documents,
00:00:59.960 including an allegation which Buckingham Palace rejected as categorically untrue,
00:01:04.500 in which a separate accuser alleges that Andrew groped her when she was 21.
00:01:09.060 Perhaps most interesting of all in the latest Epstein documents is what we don't know.
00:01:13.400 Two names have remained temporarily redacted. According to CBS News,
00:01:17.680 two unnamed people have appealed the release of their names. One person, a female, has been given
00:01:23.880 until January 22nd for her appeal. The other unnamed person is awaiting a review of their appeal.
00:01:29.960 We're going to go through the names that have been released, the timeline of this story which
00:01:33.840 has captured the world's attention over the past 10 years, and what we should be looking out for
00:01:38.340 in the coming days. But first, drop a like in the video, help us out by subscribing to the
00:01:42.580 TrueNorth YouTube channel. And the common question for the episode is this. Will we ever get to the
00:01:48.600 bottom of the Jeffrey Epstein story? Let me know in the comments, and let's get into it.
00:01:53.640 The latest Epstein documents reveal the names of 170 of Epstein's associates, high-profile politicians,
00:02:02.800 royalty, actors, musicians, businessmen, scientists, so many important people in the orbit
00:02:11.420 of Jeffrey Epstein. Now, in the case of Prince Andrew, all the allegations in the latest document
00:02:17.920 dump were already known to the public. But in the case of Bill Clinton, well, let's just say he's got
00:02:23.000 some problems to deal with now. Because according to another Epstein victim, Joanna Sjoberg, in her
00:02:28.200 sworn 2016 testimony, Epstein once told her that Bill Clinton likes them young, referring to girls,
00:02:36.400 that is, in the document. As you will already know, Bill Clinton's name appeared several times
00:02:41.420 on Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs. Clinton's name, to be specific, is referenced 73 times in the
00:02:48.100 documents. But to be clear, Clinton is not accused of any illegal activity in this latest document.
00:02:54.940 Just, of course, that Bill Clinton apparently likes young girls. Also mentioned in the Epstein files,
00:03:01.580 Donald Trump. Now, unlike Bill Clinton, Donald Trump was never said to have liked young girls in the
00:03:08.100 document. However, Joanna Sjoberg did say that Jeffrey Epstein once called up Donald Trump to divert his
00:03:14.400 private jet to Donald Trump's casino in Atlantic City. Epstein's lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, was also
00:03:20.920 mentioned several times in the Epstein files. Virginia Giuffre alleged that Jeffrey Epstein forced her to
00:03:27.760 have sex with Alan Dershowitz when she was a minor. The alleged incidents took place, quote,
00:03:32.540 not only in Florida, but on private planes in New York, New Mexico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
00:03:39.500 Dershowitz has denied all allegations, and as early as this week, he has defended the associates of
00:03:45.420 Jeffrey Epstein. Furthermore, Dershowitz has also been calling publicly for the release of these
00:03:50.580 documents for the public to see. Stephen Hawking was also named in the documents. According to the New
00:03:56.040 York Post's reporting on the files, an email between Epstein and Maxwell states,
00:04:00.600 Epstein offered a reward to Jeffrey's friends, acquaintances, and even family members in order
00:04:06.000 to help prove that her allegations that Stephen Hawking participated in an orgy were false.
00:04:12.840 Bill Clinton's vice president, Al Gore, was also named in the documents, but is not accused of any
00:04:18.460 wrongdoing. Les Wexner, the American billionaire and founder of Victoria's Secret, also named on the
00:04:24.800 Epstein lists, but not accused of any wrongdoing. Bill Richardson, the late New Mexico governor who
00:04:30.440 died in September, also on the Epstein list. Jean-Luc Brunel, the French modeling scout,
00:04:36.840 is also named on the list. Giuffre alleged that Maxwell ordered Giuffre to have sex with the
00:04:43.000 French modeling scout. Brunel died in a French prison in 2020 by suicide while he was awaiting
00:04:49.120 charges on raping underage girls. Also on the list of Epstein associates, Michael Jackson, who was seen
00:04:56.500 at Epstein's Palm Beach house. Magician David Copperfield, according to one of Epstein's victims,
00:05:02.320 was seen performing card tricks at one of Epstein's dinners. Billionaire Tom Pritzker of the Hyatt Hotel
00:05:08.380 Group was also on the Epstein list. Pritzker denies the allegation that he had sex with one of Epstein's
00:05:15.100 victims. Hedge fund billionaire Glenn Dubin, also on the list, denies the allegations. Former Israeli
00:05:22.620 Prime Minister Ehud Barak was also named on the Epstein list, although one of Epstein's victims,
00:05:29.440 Joanna Sjoberg, denies ever meeting him. The list of Epstein's associates also include a number of A-list
00:05:35.100 movie stars, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, Bruce Willis, and Kevin Spacey. Most of
00:05:42.440 the names on the list are either not accused of any wrongdoing or they deny all the allegations
00:05:47.520 against them. But the question needs to be asked, why did this prolific predator, this prolific
00:05:54.620 pedophile, have such an influential group of associates? Why did so many people of such high
00:06:01.760 public stature want to be seen around this individual? And more importantly, why did it
00:06:07.980 take so long for the list of names to be released to the public? One of the unnamed associates of
00:06:14.520 Jeffrey Epstein is only known in the documents as, quote, a well-known prime minister. According to
00:06:21.760 the Telegraph, Epstein trafficked victims for sexual purposes to powerful men, including a, quote,
00:06:27.780 well-known prime minister and other world leaders in the 2014 filing. Epstein trafficked the victim,
00:06:34.620 named as Jane Doe number three, to men, quote, including numerous prominent American politicians,
00:06:40.120 powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known prime minister, and other world
00:06:46.100 leaders. The billionaire would allegedly ask her to describe the events that she had with these men
00:06:51.400 so that he could potentially blackmail them. The public has a right to know who these people are,
00:06:56.800 especially the politicians and world leaders, because the victims of Jeffrey Epstein deserve
00:07:01.060 to have their abusers face justice. Now, just because this first document dump of Epstein files
00:07:07.640 doesn't necessarily reveal new information or information that the public wasn't already aware
00:07:12.060 of, the public's demand for more information about this story will never go away. Everyone involved
00:07:19.360 in Epstein and Maxwell's trafficking ring must be exposed, and the public won't stop talking about
00:07:25.800 the story until it happens. All of this also raises serious questions about why so many of Epstein's
00:07:32.020 associates, high-profile associates, have now died, including, of course, Epstein himself,
00:07:38.100 who mysteriously died, allegedly by suicide, while he was in one of the most secure buildings in New York,
00:07:45.760 probably one of the most secure buildings in all of the world. So let's just do a quick summary
00:07:50.280 of Jeffrey Epstein and how we got to where we are right now. This timeline of Epstein is from News
00:07:55.240 Nation. In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to one count of soliciting prostitution and one count of
00:08:01.360 soliciting prostitution from a minor. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail, a year of community service,
00:08:07.040 and is registered as a sex offender. Epstein was given a sweetheart deal, which allowed him to go
00:08:11.740 to work in the day and serve the rest of his sentence at night. In July 2019, Epstein was arrested on
00:08:17.740 federal sex trafficking charges after federal prosecutors in New York concluded that they
00:08:21.900 weren't bound by the earlier plea deal. And then, just days after Epstein's arrest in New York,
00:08:27.400 he was found dead in his cell. And the next year, in July of 2020, federal prosecutors in New York
00:08:34.220 charged Ghislaine Maxwell with sex crimes. And in December of 2021, Maxwell was convicted on sex
00:08:41.500 trafficking charges. So what should we be looking out for in the coming days? Well, of course,
00:08:46.280 more Epstein lists, more of the 170 associates are to be named, including perhaps those that have
00:08:52.560 remained unnamed, like that quote, well-known prime minister who we don't know. According to reports,
00:08:58.120 the unsealed documents will be released on a rolling basis with some coming after January 22nd.
00:09:04.160 All right, ratio of the week time. The first ratio of the week award of 2024, we're giving it to the
00:09:10.160 Associated Press. You'll see why several Canadian news outlets published the Associated Press story about
00:09:16.840 Claudian Gay, the former Harvard president's resignation earlier this week. The Associated Press
00:09:23.040 article, which featured in CTV News, ran with the headline, Harvard president's resignation highlights
00:09:29.060 new conservative weapon against colleges, plagiarism. So apparently, plagiarism, or maybe
00:09:36.720 calling out plagiarists, is now a conservative weapon. Well, for those that don't know, Claudian Gay was
00:09:43.520 found out to be a serial plagiarist, including plagiarizing her PhD thesis. Now, this tweet from
00:09:49.880 the Associated Press has over 14,000 comments to only 6.8 thousand likes. Community notes, of course,
00:09:58.580 were slapped to this tweet, calling out the obvious BS coming from the Associated Press here. Now,
00:10:03.400 the comments, of course, are incredible. The first we're going to highlight comes from Elon Musk.
00:10:07.760 And once again, community notes for the win. Gay repeatedly violated Harvard's rules
00:10:13.240 against plagiarism. Source, Harvard. Jonathan Kaye over at Quillette wrote this. Oh no, those
00:10:19.780 dastardly conservatives have infiltrated your organization. And then he highlights AP's own
00:10:25.040 rules on their own journalists, that an AP writer must not plagiarize their work. And this is from Tim
00:10:31.620 Young. Plagiarism is now a conservative weapon. Just a reminder that Facebook Meta uses this fake news
00:10:38.500 organization to fact check people. Isn't that interesting? The AP, a news site, is used as a
00:10:44.700 fact-checking source when they write stories like this. Not really that much of a surprise, but a good
00:10:50.400 way to kick us off for the ratio of the week for 2024. All right, everyone, that's going to do it for
00:10:55.040 us this week on the show. Thank you so much for tuning in. My name is Harrison Faulkner, and this is Ratio.
