Stephen Knieven Crowder will attempt to recreate the suicide of Jeffrey Epstein, a feat like nothing the world has ever seen before, and one that could only be attempted by the undisputed superstar of daredevils.
00:00:17.000This evening, one man will attempt to recreate the suicide of noted pedophile Jeffrey Edward Epstein.
00:00:24.000It will certainly be a feat like nothing the world has ever seen and could only be attempted by the undisputed superstar of Daredevils, Stephen Knieven Crowder.
00:00:33.000Stephen, tell the folks at home what they can expect to see tonight.
00:01:00.00055 kilograms, 121 pounds of force is what we're looking to hit to recreate a scenario in which Jeffrey Epstein's suicide is even plausible.
00:01:08.000It's even remotely possible, and that's the low end.
00:01:11.000Keep in mind the story that we've been told from the New York Times, Washington Post, is that Jeffrey Epstein knelt toward the floor with enough force that he broke several bones in his neck on a rope that he fashioned himself from orange bedsheets.
00:01:25.000Some people thought the bedsheets were paper.
00:01:27.000Apparently they were actually real bedsheets.
00:01:30.000Keep in mind, too, Something that a lot of people may not know, that when administering death by hanging, the number to ensure death that has always been used historically is 1,000 to 1,250 foot-pounds of force.
00:01:44.000Now, why aren't you using that number, Stephen?
00:01:47.000I'm going to get to that in just a second.
00:01:49.000And isn't there something about the hyoid bone?
00:01:53.000Yeah, I'm glad that you brought that up.
00:01:55.000Many in the media, they've tried to paint people who are even remotely skeptical of the Epstein suicide as conspiracy theorists, and they often point to the hyoid bone, claiming that Jeffrey Epstein fractured that bone.
00:02:06.000It only requires 35 pounds of force to fracture, and of course that makes it seem as though it's very easy, very plausible, the most likely scenario that Jeffrey Epstein hung and killed himself.
00:02:17.000I believe it's a red herring for several reasons.
00:02:19.000Couldn't be less relevant to this, for one.
00:02:22.000The measurement being cited that people are often using, this was in a laboratory.
00:02:27.000Where they took a hyoid from a cadaver and put it into a vice, right?
00:02:30.000That's not the same as a real-world scenario where you've got cartilage and tissue and neck fat, as I well know.
00:02:35.000Then, number two, most importantly, Jeffrey Epstein had three fractures in his neck.
00:02:39.000And you will see us trying to recreate that here in a second.
00:02:42.000Three fractures, including thyroid cartilage, which is much more difficult to fracture than the hyoid bone.
00:02:50.000You get jostled around and you break your pinky, you break your wrist, but you also break your femur.
00:02:55.000I can't just recreate a scenario where I break a pinky and say, well, that's good enough for me, call it a day.
00:02:59.000We need to recreate a scenario in which the most severe fracture is accounted for.
00:03:03.000And that is what we are trying to do this evening, mimicking the force that will be required to create all three fractures that were found in the suicide.
00:03:11.000It's also important to note, only 8% Of victims, by the way.
00:03:15.000Victims of hanging suicide are found with broken hyoid bones.
00:03:20.000Keep in mind that these are suicides by hanging.
00:03:21.000They typically aren't kneeling, right?
00:03:23.000It's usually they're brooksing themselves like in Shawshank, knocking the stool out and hanging from a bean in the ceiling.
00:03:44.000When you go to the statistics of people who have three fractures that we saw in Jeffrey Epstein's suicide, that number drops to 1 in 20. Only 1 in 20 from dead hang suicides result in these three fractures.
00:03:56.000And how often is that kind of fracture found in homicides?
00:04:11.000However, though, when we discussed this stunt with an engineer, as you well know, we've had engineers here helping with this project, wanting to be as fair-minded as possible, after reviewing multiple studies, he came to the conclusion that a real-world scenario...
00:04:24.000In that scenario, about 121 pounds or 55 kilograms are what would be required at minimum to result in the three fractures sustained by Mr. Epstein.
00:04:32.000So we're aiming to achieve a far lower number than even necessary to ensure death by hanging because we want to be as fair-minded as possible and take the lowest number, the lowest barrier to entry, because we don't know how any of this is going to turn out.
00:04:44.000So now before the big stunt, let's go to the tale of the tape.
00:04:50.000Stephen Knieven has a distinct advantage in both height and weight, meaning that if Epstein wasn't able to produce the kind of force necessary to kill himself, Stephen may, in fact, be able to.
00:04:59.000We will certainly see how this affects the outcome of tonight's event.
00:05:03.000I do want to say, too, that the number on there is wrong in the tail of the tape.
00:06:51.000So one thing I want to note, this is the most important measurement audio weight, but this is probably the least accurate device that we have.
00:07:01.000So this is designed because the compression at the neck is going to be dispersed around the neck.
00:07:05.000The number is going to be lower than this monitor right here directly on the cord.
00:07:10.000So you'll notice that the number is significantly lower at the neck, significantly higher at the cord.
00:07:14.000The real life number is probably between those two.
00:07:16.000But even then, leaning, what, we got to 22 kilograms?
00:11:33.000I think a better question is what went right.
00:11:35.000It seemed like everything kind of went wrong there.
00:11:38.000The meter was maladjusted to pounds initially, and that's what we were getting.
00:11:42.000I thought there was too much of a discrepancy.
00:11:44.000We were kind of expecting it to be not as heavy on the neck because, of course, there wouldn't be as much in the compression heavier on the cord.
00:12:20.000For everyone watching, what we really set out to achieve tonight was to hopefully show you a real-world scenario where what we've been told about the Jeffrey Epstein death doesn't seem to have been entirely accurate.
00:12:32.000We didn't even talk about the hyoid bone, but we passed that really easily.
00:12:35.000Could have done that without the neck brace.
00:12:37.000That's not the number that people should be concerned about.
00:12:39.000What we set out to prove was that people who are skeptical at all doesn't mean that you're a crazy conspiracy theorist.
00:12:49.000Put on a show, hopefully give you the ability to draw your own conclusions and give you one hell of a discount, which we have offered tonight with the promo code Epstein at ladderwithcredit.com slash mugclub.
00:12:59.000And your signing up tonight continues to fund episodes like this.
00:13:06.000I'm really just buying time because I've had to think it through.
00:13:10.000In the spirit of trying to be fair and as objective as possible, if Jeffrey Epstein Had been able to fashion a rope from bedsheets, which takes approximately 9 to 15 minutes going completely unnoticed in his cell.
00:13:30.000And if he were able to achieve the exact right angle and have somebody wheelbarrow him in his cell, potentially a cellmate.
00:13:41.000And if he were able to do that and snap his neck before he passes out, as that only takes about three to five seconds, as we know, considering the tension, and all the guards fell asleep, I think it could be possible.
00:14:28.000Especially if you download the app, you'll get notifications when we are live, 11 a.m. Eastern, because we want to drive the stake through the heart that is YouTube.
