Court documents in the Jeffrey Epstein case have just been unsealed, and everyone is talking about all the lurid details. Did you know that Epstein's lawyer visited his house on multiple occasions? Did y'all know that Prince Andrew visited Epstein's island on Epstein's Island? Did you also know that Bill Clinton has a penchant for young ladies? Yes, you knew that. You knew all of that. And everyone broadly knew about every supposedly new revelation to come out of the unsealed documents. And most likely that's all we're ever going to know.
00:02:35.640Judge Set to Reveal Disturbing Claims About Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein by Prince Andrew sex accuser Johanna Schoberg.
00:02:45.660And here's the big shocking new evidence that we were told was going to come out,
00:02:50.060and then it did come out, and that was supposedly going to blow everybody's minds.
00:02:53.420Ms. Schoberg has previously claimed that the King's brother put his hand on her breast at the Manhattan home of multimillionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in 2001.
00:03:05.180Ms. Schoberg, now a hairdresser, 42 years old, living in Florida,
00:03:09.020has previously said that Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her to provide massages for Epstein in 2001 while she was in college.
00:03:16.840Recalling this incident, Ms. Schoberg said in a deposition given under oath,
00:03:21.260Quote, I remember someone suggesting a photo, and they told us to get on the couch.
00:03:27.240Virginia, one of the other girls, and Prince Andrews sat on the couch, and they put a puppet on her lap.
00:03:33.380So I sat on Andrews lap, I believe of my own volition, and they took the puppet's hands and put it on Virginia's breast,
00:03:55.880So you're saying we got this guy, Jeffrey Epstein, who is cavorting, palling around, buddy buddies with every rich, powerful guy that you could even possibly imagine all over the world.
00:04:08.140Royalty, heads of state, prime ministers, businessmen.
00:04:11.620And he's taking them all to this island full of underage girls, this weird pedo island, and flying them around on his airplane.
00:04:18.440And it was all wired for sound, so he's got videotapes of all these guys doing super creepy illegal sex stuff with children.
00:04:24.900And the big shocking revelation is that Prince Andrew touched a girl who was of age, who was clearly over 18,
00:04:40.660while she sat on his lap of her own volition, and it was all done in a joking manner and did not cause offense.
00:05:58.180And the only reason they're making a big hubbub about the unsealed documents now is to distract everybody with a limited hangout, which is a term of art in espionage, which is clearly what was going on on Epstein's island and in his townhouse and on all of his properties.
00:06:12.760And it's a term of art in public relations and crisis communications, which is what's going on here, too.
00:06:22.040His take on Epstein is the same take that I've been advancing for a long time.
00:06:25.900In fact, what's funny about the timing of all this is right before the new year, I was asked to make my predictions, my Noel Stradamus predictions for the new year.
00:06:34.960And my final one was, we're not going to get any significant new information on Jeffrey Epstein.
00:06:38.980We're not going to really find out the client list.
00:07:20.600They're filing all these cases in court.
00:07:22.540Cernovich says, hundreds of thousands of dollars later, a trip to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and a lot of fighting.
00:07:28.920We had a batch of documents ready to be unsealed.
00:07:31.520The weekend before the documents were made public, the Southern District of New York arrested Epstein, quietly, when he landed his private jet on an airport from a trip he took in France.
00:07:47.560He goes on to say, the indictment against Epstein does not charge anyone except Epstein.
00:07:51.900And there's nothing to indicate that anyone who flew to Epstein's private island has faced scrutiny.
00:07:57.120Because the Southern District of New York charged the lowest level offenses possible, they, quote, lacked jurisdiction to raid Epstein's island in Little St. James, as well as his New Mexico and Paris properties.
00:08:09.740Those houses were left unattended for a couple of weeks.
00:08:12.680During that time, a safe went missing.
00:08:22.340He had a lot of lurid stuff, a lot of valuable stuff, just sitting out.
00:08:26.520So whatever was in the safe had to be very, very valuable.
00:08:29.520We know that the properties were totally wired with cameras and microphones.
00:08:33.020We know they were recording extremely powerful people doing extremely illegal and embarrassing things.
00:08:39.700Because we, I think, can deduce that what was in the safe was compromise.
00:08:45.580During the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, Cernovich points out, it was reported that evidence from Jeffrey Epstein's safe went missing after a raid by the FBI.
00:09:59.300We know that Ghislaine Maxwell's father was a spy.
00:10:01.740We know that he was mobbed up with Israeli intelligence, Russian intelligence, and British intelligence.
00:10:07.680We know, we already knew that Jeffrey Epstein had a relation to American intelligence.
00:10:14.220We know this because Alex Acosta, who was the U.S. attorney prosecuting Jeffrey Epstein back in Florida, while he was being interviewed to be Trump's labor secretary, said that in order to explain why he put the kid gloves on for Jeffrey Epstein, he said, oh, I was told from up above that Jeffrey Epstein belonged to intelligence.
00:10:34.260So now I think we got pretty good reason to believe that he had a relationship with American intelligence because his safe went missing when the FBI raided the house.

00:13:14.500A lot of men feeling a lot of discomfort right now with the questions that are being asked and the evidence that could theoretically come to light in the Jeffrey Epstein case.
00:13:28.160Now, speaking of making men uncomfortable, the new lady director of whatever the next Star Wars movie is going to be just gave a talk.
00:13:36.140I guess she was being interviewed by Jon Stewart at a panel called Women in the World, and she said that her goal for the next Star Wars movie is to make a really entertaining and beautiful movie that everyone's going to enjoy.
00:14:32.140But, you know, it is important to be able to look into the eyes of a man and say, I am here, and recognize that.
00:14:42.080And recognize that I am working to bring something that makes you uncomfortable, and it should make you uncomfortable, because you need to change your attitude.
00:14:51.980And it's only when you're uncomfortable, when you're shifty, when you have to have difficult conversations, that you will perhaps look at yourself in the mirror and not like the reflection.
00:15:05.140This lady's name is Charmaine Obaid Chinoy, and it's coming to the forefront now because she's directing whatever the next Star Wars movie is.
00:15:14.360And everyone is rightly concluding from this that the next Star Wars movie is going to be terrible.
00:15:17.760That's been true of pretty much all the Disney Star Wars movies.
00:15:24.600But the rest of them have been just absolutely, unbearably bad.
00:15:27.720And the next one is probably going to be even worse.
00:15:31.060But everyone's just making fun of her and saying she's a crazy feminist, and she's going to ruin Star Wars, which was ruined many years ago.
00:16:18.820Now, this goes all the way back to chapter 3 of the book of Genesis, when Adam and Eve sin, and God tells them what their punishment is going to be.
00:16:29.580And their punishment is, in a way, a blessing because God is equipping man and woman to live in the fallen world.
00:18:25.180If social problems have increased over the last 50 years, as I think we would all have to agree they have, over that period, have men become more manly or less manly?
00:18:37.520Have men become more patriarchal or less patriarchal?
00:18:40.560Have men become more feminist or less feminist?
00:18:51.180Men need to be made to feel uncomfortable.
00:18:55.180And the thing that makes men most uncomfortable these days is acting like men and taking responsibility and wielding the just power with which we have been entrusted for most of history.
00:19:07.940We feel less comfortable with that than ever.
00:19:10.500And to quote Don Corleone from a good movie, unlike some of these bad movies that have been coming out, from a good movie, tells Johnny Fontaine,
00:19:23.140Speaking of men and women, and perhaps unexpected opinions, there is a really weird story coming out of the UK.
00:19:34.240Police are investigating the first case of rape in the metaverse.
00:19:38.760The metaverse is just the video game world that Mark Zuckerberg wants us all to live in.
00:19:42.720You put on the goggles, and it's a totally immersive kind of video game.
00:19:46.120According to prosecutors, a child, a girl under the age of 16, was attacked in a virtual reality video game, and she was left distraught after her avatar was gang raped by strangers online.
00:20:01.040Now, the report goes on to make clear that the girl did not suffer any physical injuries.
00:20:06.180Obviously, she was just wearing a headset and a video game.
00:20:08.840But prosecutors say she suffered emotional injuries, and they're going to investigate this as some kind of sexual crime.
00:20:15.440And a lot of conservatives are making fun of this.
00:21:00.940Why is rape a more serious crime than any other kind of physical assault?
00:21:08.680If rape were just about the body, if human life were just about the physical, then a sexual assault would be no different from any other kind of assault, right?
00:21:19.820The reason it's so much worse is because we're not just bodies.
00:21:27.180We value things like integrity and modesty and virtue.
00:21:30.360And a violation, a sexual violation, is more severe.
00:21:35.980It cuts more deeply at the human person than if someone just came up and punched you in the face or cut you on the wrist.
00:21:42.320We're talking about a little girl here.
00:21:46.440You know, if these guys were just discovered to have texted inappropriate messages to a, let's say, I don't know how old the girl is, but let's say she's 12 or 13.
00:21:55.560If these guys were found to have texted inappropriate sexual messages to her, I think everyone would agree they should be investigated and probably prosecuted.
00:22:03.600So why is it any different if it happens in a video game where instead of texting words, instead of the symbols being letters and words, the symbols are characters enacting all of these gross, obscene things on the avatar of a little girl.
00:22:19.200So, the reason I think this is important is there is a view that has prevailed on the left and on the right that whatever the law says in the physical world, in the real world, we shouldn't be held accountable for anything we do online.
00:22:36.360Online is just the Wild West, do whatever you want.
00:22:40.200That's a bad situation that has allowed all sorts of terrible things to proliferate.
00:22:46.380Obviously, the now ubiquity of pornography, you know, sexual acts that you would never tolerate in the real physical world, everyone is allowed to indulge in and encouraged to indulge in online all the time.
00:23:03.120Vicious kind of speech to one another, vicious, often threatening, sometimes illegal speech.
00:23:52.620If someone is living in the metaverse for, let's say, an hour a day, two hours a day, four or five hours a day, and they're behaving like a total satyr criminal, psychosexual sadist, and then they take off the goggles and they go out to the real world, our modern liberal culture says, well, we can easily compartmentalize those things.
00:24:10.860But any serious study of human nature says, no, you can't, because you're crafting your very desires, your behaviors, your way of viewing the world, your way of viewing women, your way of viewing people, your way of viewing yourself in the world.
00:24:23.720You're crafting all of that with how you spend your time, how you fantasize, how you engage, even if it's in virtual reality.
00:24:32.820And you're not going to be able to just totally cut that off once you reenter into the real, the so-called real world.
00:24:41.240I'm beginning to think the conservatives, the church ladies, they were totally right about violent video games in the 90s.
00:24:52.000Well, now when you throw on the metaverse goggles, the line between reality and video games is a lot blurrier.
00:24:58.880And it can play a lot more tricks on your psyche and your emotions and your desires, as we see here from the way this girl, I think, rightly claims to be victimized.

00:25:55.980Speaking of pouncing on women, the Associated Press is reporting that Harvard's president's resignation highlights new conservative weapon against colleges.
00:29:53.840But people were suggesting all sorts of black women.
00:29:57.360And Mark Lamont Hill, this same left-wing academic and black activist pundit, he responded to someone who suggested Candace and said, this is the problem.
00:30:07.740Y'all really think black people are interchangeable?
00:30:12.800Now, he sent that tweet at about 8 p.m. on January 2nd.
00:30:19.840Seven hours prior, he sent the first tweet.
00:30:22.900He said, the next president must be a black woman.
00:35:29.700It reveals these guys to lack what was supposed to be the distinguishing feature between them and Trump, which was integrity, principle, care for the party, ideological mooring and something solid.
00:35:46.640But they don't have that, especially not Chris Christie.
00:35:49.300Perhaps it's unfair to say the same about the other candidates.
00:35:52.040Certainly not Chris Christie, who was supposed to be the chief Trump antagonist.
00:35:56.500Anything, anything you could say about Donald Trump, any accusation that you could make against him, any insult you could throw his way applies 100 times to Chris Christie.
00:36:12.440The sanctimonious campaign, which is in part why that line, that word, that nickname for Ron DeSantis, while it might not have been fair for DeSantis himself, and while it might not have been the easiest to roll off the tongue, it's why it was a good choice of words to use against Trump opponents broadly.
00:36:35.160It's because that has been the chief tool for the anti-Trump campaigns, going back to 2016, the sanctimony.
00:36:50.540But consistently along the way, it's true on the Republican side and the Democrat side, consistently along the way, we found out that Trump's opponents don't often seem to demonstrate much more principle.
00:38:06.980Going back to when she announced her candidacy, everyone wrote her off and laughed at her.
00:38:10.140And, you know, I hate to say I told you so, but some of us said, hey, hey, hey, even if you don't like Nikki Haley, even if you think she's too moderate or something, this is an extraordinarily talented politician who was able to navigate very difficult waters and appeal to the establishment, to the Koch network, to the moderates, to the centrists, to center left, and to appeal to Trump supporters.
00:38:31.220She was not only a successful member of the Trump administration, she was a particularly popular member when she was the UN ambassador.
00:38:40.180And when she left, Trump gave her a little short of a ticker tape parade, okay?
00:38:45.900But they had a big meeting, lots of cameras, oh, Nikki's been great.
00:38:50.220Then Nikki turned on Trump, then she supported Trump again, then she turned on Trump, and she's just navigated the waters very, very well.
00:38:56.960Don't forget, Trump is being indicted.
00:38:58.760The Libs are going to do everything that they possibly can to keep him off the ballot.
00:39:01.800Totally unprecedented actions that they've been doing since 2015, 2016, using the federal government to spy on his campaign, trying to undermine his entire administration with bogus charges cooked up by the FBI and the Democrats.
00:39:36.600You know, the only thing they've got left after that is assassination, and I don't put it past them.
00:39:41.040So, the number two person might matter.
00:39:44.540Because there is a world, even if Trump is the most popular candidate and everybody in the world wants to vote for him, there is a world in which the political order just does not let him be the nominee.
00:39:52.700Which is why the number two thing matters and could be Nikki.
00:39:56.740My favorite comment yesterday is from First Emperor, who says, anything outside of meritocracy should be absolutely rejected.
00:40:04.120I say this is my favorite comment because Ophelia, man, and in most circumstances, I agree, I guess.
00:40:11.520But I actually don't think that's a liberal, I don't think that's a conservative perspective.
00:40:16.280I think that's kind of a liberal perspective.
00:40:18.720Because you don't really believe that.
00:40:22.200I don't really believe that in all cases, every single thing in the whole world should be meritocracy.
00:40:30.200If you have a pure meritocracy, then you don't have much care for people who are a little slower, people who are disabled, people who you don't really care for them.
00:40:44.700You say, well, I deserve exactly what I get because I'm so smart and fast and big and strong and beautiful.
00:40:49.900And you fall into a kind of a dark view where you start to value human beings more than other human beings.
00:41:24.040What about legacy admissions to schools?
00:41:25.260I wasn't a legacy admission to my college, and I don't intend to send any of my children to the college that I went to.
00:41:31.980But I like the idea of legacy admissions because it creates affection for the institution, because it encourages conservatism, which is a good thing.
00:41:42.280So, well, I agree that our current system of a racial caste that discriminates against whites and, to a lesser degree, Asians, and that says that men are the worst people on the face of the earth.
00:41:55.380And I agree that that's all extremely perverse and unjust, and meritocracy is preferable to that.
00:42:00.140But there is more to life than meritocracy, especially if you want to conserve anything.
00:42:11.100Nikki is trying to get Trump to show up to the debate.
00:42:12.940She says, with only three candidates qualifying for the CNN debate, it is time for Donald Trump to show up.
00:42:18.000As the debate stage continues to shrink, it's getting harder for Donald Trump to hide.
00:42:22.440Now, she's saying three candidates qualifying for the CNN debate because it looks as though Vivek might not qualify.
00:42:31.320And this is because, I don't know, Vivek is alleging that it's because CNN is changing the rules to keep him off the stage.
00:42:37.980And frankly, like probably, Vivek is a very exciting candidate in this race.
00:42:42.960He's done much, much better than anybody expected him to do.
00:42:46.000He, his entire role in the race, or a big part of his role in the race, is to say things that the political establishment does not want you to say.
00:42:55.360And, and they can't even write him off as some conspiracy theorist kook because he's smarter than all of them.
00:43:00.860So, this is a guy, this is one of the most intelligent people in, in the political scene in the United States.
00:43:06.320And he's extremely well-educated and he's extremely accomplished.
00:43:09.040And so, they can't just write him off.
00:43:10.740And they can't even call him some crank racist or whatever because he's Indian.
00:43:13.700So, you know, he's very inconvenient for the political establishment.
00:43:18.140I don't put it past them to try to torpedo his campaign.
00:43:20.900But in any case, Nikki is saying, okay, the field is shrinking.
00:43:29.480This call for Trump to debate also seems to coincide with Trump saying he would not pick Nikki Haley for his VP.
00:43:34.760So, I said on this show a couple days ago that with Nikki surging, she's saying she would pardon Trump if Trump were convicted of crimes and any of these ridiculous political prosecutions.
00:43:49.400Trump was saying some nice things about Nikki Haley, kind of floating the idea that Nikki Haley could be his running mate.
00:43:56.120I don't know who it's going to be right now.
00:43:57.280And so, I said, okay, the question is, are the Trump supporters loyal enough to Trump, blindly loyal enough to Trump, that they would tolerate a Nikki Haley vice presidency?
00:44:11.220Even as so much of the Trump base appears to hate Nikki Haley.
00:44:17.460It could be like a Bush-Reagan kind of thing.
00:44:19.520Fairly or unfairly, Nikki Haley is the representative of the establishment right now.
00:44:22.700That happened the moment she took the Koch network money.
00:44:24.500So, and Trump is the representative of the insurgent populist wing, the paleo wing, the trad wing, I don't know, whatever, whatever label you want to throw on him.
00:44:59.560Still, I think Nikki's playing her cards very smart, but still, Trump has no incentive to debate.
00:45:07.180I think he came out and said that if the election got close, he would debate.
00:45:11.040But right now, even as the field is shrinking, even as support is consolidating behind, you would say, Haley and DeSantis, increasingly looking more like Haley than DeSantis, but who knows?
00:45:23.460There still hasn't been a vote cast in a caucus or a primary.
00:45:25.540Still, Trump is how many dozens of points above them?
00:46:22.000Guys who had been kind of on the fence, they're going.
00:46:24.740Now, Steve Scalise, who is the House majority leader, he's the number two Republican in the country.
00:46:29.540He came out, he said, I'm proud to endorse Donald Trump for president in 2024.
00:46:35.280And I look forward to working with Trump and a Republican House and Senate to fight for those families who are struggling under the weight of Biden's failed policies.
00:46:50.560And so, as Ernest Hemingway said, of bankruptcy, it happens gradually, then suddenly.
00:46:58.280A line that Drew Klavan liked to quote, and then I liked to quote, and then, you know, like every conservative quotes now.
00:47:02.580Now, every conservative is going to feel this pull.
00:47:07.380I'm not saying they're going to do it, but they're going to feel this pull to endorse Trump, particularly as the attacks against him from the prosecutors ramp up.
00:47:16.680Now, you know I'm something of a tease, and today is Theology Thursday, which you'll get in the member block.
00:47:23.100If you're not a member, you've got to go on over to dailywire.com and subscribe and use code Knowles, and you'll have a great time in the creme de la creme.
00:47:31.520But there's a story I don't have time to get to today about how a Michigan state representative is proposing stripping tax exemption from the satanic temple,
00:47:42.120which you're going to hear some civil libertarians and the secularists are going to go up in arms about this.
