Nick Bryant was the first journalist to break the Epstein scandal. He was also the first person to publish The Epstein Black Book and the Flight Logs. He talks about how he broke the story, and why he thinks journalists should have done their jobs.
00:00:00.400Greetings, Earthlings and humans and any other intelligent life forms that might be tuning in on whatever frequency, planet, or, you know, wavelength you're coming from.
00:00:14.920I'm glad you're here, and especially animals, the highest intelligent beings on this planet, far more intelligent than humans, of course,
00:00:23.140because they don't have to bullshit themselves every single day in order to feel the joy of living.
00:00:39.140Well, you know how I love to talk to geniuses, troublemakers, whistleblowers, dissenters, people with ideas that normally we don't get to hear
00:00:48.360because of the unified field of bullshit that is YouTube and all the internet media outlets.
00:00:56.000And I'm very excited today because we have a pioneer, a pioneer in the whole Epstein story, the first person to break the Epstein story, Nick Bryant.
00:01:15.060So you were, in fact, the first person to break the whole Epstein story, and you did it way back when?
00:01:23.000Well, there had been a number of articles about him molesting children, and there was a grand jury that found that he hadn't molested a single child,
00:03:00.700This was four years before his case broke nationally.
00:03:05.140And I'd written another book about a similar type of network called The Franklin Scandal, and there was a lot of skepticism around The Franklin Scandal.
00:03:14.780And with Epstein, I found the same skepticism.
00:03:17.580I would talk to editors or publishers, and it was like I could see the wheels turning in their brain.
00:03:25.620They would think to themselves, this is really a horrible story.
00:03:29.140I should help Nick Bryant expose this, or I can just write Nick Bryant off as crazy and have a nice meal with my family tonight.
00:03:38.900And I was thinking that one of them, I knew a bunch of people in the media.
00:03:44.100I was thinking that one of them would have some courage, but everybody I knew in the media pretty much let me down.
00:03:49.680You think it's because they chose to just want to live a quiet life instead of getting embroiled in the worst thing in the world?
00:04:04.020Well, the thing about it is, people don't do their jobs.
00:04:09.440If people at the FBI did their jobs, people at the Department of Justice did their jobs, if people in journalism did their jobs, it would be a very, very different world.
00:05:11.660But that was kind of a disheartening period of my life because I put so much work into this.
00:05:19.360And we're talking about Boys Town, USA, where the Republican machine of Nebraska was actually trafficking and sexually abusing these children, these boys at Boys Town, right?
00:05:38.460And taking them all the way to the White House, trafficking them.
00:05:41.700Yes, Boys Town was a smorgasbord for pedophiles in the 1980s, and they were trafficked all over, but a lot of them were trafficked to Washington, D.C.
00:05:53.300And in Washington, D.C., there was Craig Spence, who was a major power broker, and he had a mansion, and he was also a CIA asset.
00:06:02.920And every room in his mansion was fitted with a small pinhole camera, and his thing was blackmail, much like Epstein, audiovisual blackmail.
00:06:19.200Well, is there any difference between the Franklin School scandal and the Epstein scandal?
00:06:36.440As you know, I'm an old middle-aged man who's graying and bald, and I have two daughters and a wife, and I need to take care of them.
00:06:44.880So life insurance is something that I look into all of the time.
00:06:48.340But as I was investigating and talking to my brother-in-law, Josh, who many of you know from RepublicLifeNow.com and the annuities program that we sold, the guy's a genius.
00:06:56.660He told me about a new product that is part of the life insurance, you know, parachute, if you will.
00:07:01.920But it's called Living Benefits, and it's going to change the game.
00:07:05.080And I wanted to tell you about it because you guys got to get into it right now.
00:07:07.440And essentially what it is is it's a life insurance policy.
00:08:00.660You've got aberrations in the Justice Department and FBI that allow pedophiles to skate.
00:08:08.580And the thing about the Franklin scandal that makes it a little bit different is there were a couple of the FBI came in and really pressured the kids to recant their abuse.
00:09:41.320And once by her pedophile perpetrators and then by our government, our state and the state of Nebraska and the Department of Justice and FBI.
00:09:53.620A really horrific chapter in United States jurisprudence that they would gang up on this poor girl.
00:10:03.040And she just was going to tell her truth.
00:10:08.340And in the book, I really do show that she was definitely abused.
00:15:27.780But here's the thing with our cyber abilities, with the intelligence services, if he's attracted to macabre pornography or child abuse material, he's definitely compromised, for sure.
00:15:43.400But isn't it even an extra dimension that him and his son are watching over each other's pornography consumption about uncovetous sexual behavior?
00:17:41.300Well, I mean, until the whole Trump revolution, it was don't rock the boat because they were all comfortable with it.
00:17:50.180But the MAGA people came in, and that was one of their, you know, our number one concerns was the sex thing, the pedophile abuse thing worldwide.
00:18:03.660Yeah, I mean, that's one of the reasons I supported Trump and voted for Trump, which is why I was kind of upset about the binder gate and Pam Bondi saying, I mean, let me ask you this real quick.
00:18:25.520Well, yeah, I mean, there isn't a list like it was the Jeffrey Epstein travel agency, and there's a list of people on his refrigerator with a magnet.
00:18:59.400And it is a grail to a certain degree because a lot of the perpetrators, there's a lot of people in there that aren't perpetrators, but there's a lot of people in there that are perpetrators.
00:19:11.000And then there's a lot of victims, too.
00:19:13.180And when I first got it in 2012, as I said, I started calling victims.
00:19:20.120And a lot of them wouldn't talk to me, which I'm used to.
00:19:23.500But then they were telling me about being flown around and then also on Epstein's island.
00:19:28.740So that is really, I mean, that's very much like the Franklin scandal.
00:20:48.020Yeah, because they're always trying to bury the royal family's involvement in all this.
00:20:54.060Well, I think, okay, so I've been at this for like 22, 23 years.
00:21:01.740And I've been told by people in intelligence that the three countries that are the greatest practitioners of blackmail are the U.S., Israel, and the U.K.
00:21:13.860But I know that Russia isn't far behind in that mix because the KGB and subsequent Russian intelligence agencies have definitely deployed blackmail all over.
00:21:28.100But blackmail is an integral part of our political system.
00:21:34.260Going back to like the founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton was having an affair with a 23-year-old who was married, and her husband was blackmailing Alexander Hamilton.
00:21:46.060And there was this muckraking journalist that came along, and Hamilton and Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson, had a lot of antipathy towards each other.
00:21:56.620So the muckraker outed Hamilton having an affair, and then the muckraker thought that Jefferson would give him a place in his administration.
00:22:09.080And when Jefferson didn't, he outed Jefferson for having sex with one of his slaves, Sally Hemmings, which actually DNA tests have shown that that could be the case.
00:22:18.160So sexual blackmail goes all the way back to the beginning of our republic.
00:23:36.660Well, that's how this works, is like Craig Spence from the Franklin scandal used to have political parties where power brokers would be invited, senators, people in the media, captains of industry, people in the administration.
00:23:52.180And he would ply them with alcohol for probably five or six hours or whatever.
00:23:58.520It would start out as like a D.C. cocktail party.
00:24:02.060But then at 10 or 11, something inappropriate would happen.
00:24:06.960There would be something sexually inappropriate.
00:24:09.220Someone would fire up a joint or break out coke.
00:24:12.380And a lot of people that wanted no part of that would split.
00:24:16.160But then the people that stayed would be compromised for sure.
00:24:48.280I remember Paul Bonacci's testimony of how they really enjoyed being in a circle and stuffing large objects into the 14-year-old boy's anuses.
00:25:04.560And, you know, they really, really enjoyed that, especially when they were screaming and bleeding.
00:29:38.380And it seems that the people who, I mean, I'm not talking about the people I know that are now in our government
00:29:46.780and went there to fight this and solve it and cure it because, you know, sometimes it has to get really, really ugly before people will decide to take it into their own hands and make the changes that need to happen instead of sitting back thinking that their representatives are going to do it.
00:30:10.260Or that they're never going to do it because it takes a billion dollars to get enough money to run a campaign.
00:30:18.620That doesn't come from grassroots ever.
00:30:20.920So all of our representatives are not really our representatives, they're representatives of lobbies or private enterprise.
00:30:29.340So American people didn't want to see that, but I think more and more they are seeing it and they want to do something to stop it.
00:30:37.500And child trafficking, child death, child abuse, child sacrifice by, you know, just a satanic bunch.
00:31:11.600And we saw that in the Franklin scandal and we've seen that in other scandals.
00:31:16.780But just the sheer number of Americans that are molested, according to the Centers for Disease Control, 25% of underage girls and 5% of underage boys are molested.
00:31:31.480Now, people in the field think it's slightly conservative for underage girls and very conservative for underage boys.
00:31:38.440But if you just go with the CDC numbers, there's over 50 million Americans that have been molested.
00:31:46.220And the Department of Health and Human Services commissioned a study that found that 240,000 to 325,000 women and children are sexually trafficked in the United States every year.
00:32:00.080And according to the Federal Human Trafficking Report of 2023, the last one, there was only 664 people charged with child trafficking.
00:32:15.180So if you go with the smallest number from the Department of Health and Human Services, which is 240,000, and only 664 people are charged, it really shows how our society is not protecting our children.
00:32:33.180And there's millions of hours of child abuse material on the Internet.
00:32:40.540And last year, there were 1,375 people convicted of it, of making it and of distributing it.
00:32:50.440And one of the reasons why Epstein justice is so important in getting justice for these Epstein victims is that if we allow the Department of Justice to cover up a proven trafficking network, the Epstein network, a proven trafficking network, we're going to send a message to millions of people that have been molested, have been trafficked, that they have no voice and no hope for justice if they see this.
00:33:54.520Yes, but people think that the United States is more pristine when it comes to trafficking, but the numbers that I just showed you, I mean, the United States is like a trafficking paradise.
00:34:10.560I mean, compared to like Thailand or these other places that people go to, I mean, there's a lot more child abuse that seems to be going on in the United States than anywhere else, which is very, very shocking to me.
00:34:26.080The United States is like one of the world hubs of child sexual slavery.
00:34:32.320A hundred percent, and that's very crazy to me because, you know, it's a Christian nation and whatnot, liberty, all the values that we have as Americans, that is the antithesis of it.
00:34:44.920And I just want to ask real quick, with the CIA, with Mossad, with MI6, and probably every other intelligence agency, let's be honest, but those three, right?
00:34:59.320This does seem to be systemic of how power operates.
00:35:03.140My question to you is, I know you have Epstein Justice and that kind of stuff, but like, really, how do we fight this if it's in every world?
00:36:45.220But I don't believe, and some CIA guys have confirmed this for me.
00:36:52.740I don't believe that the CIA would let the Mossad compromise American politicians on American soil without getting a cut of that intelligence.
00:37:04.680And MI6 would not let the CIA do it either without their compliance.
00:37:11.440So I think it's endemic and also it's sanctioned at the highest level.
00:37:21.560With the Epstein scandal, the neutron that went into the plutonium was a 14-year-old girl who told her stepmother that she'd been molested by Jeffrey Epstein.
00:37:33.100And her stepmother brought her to the Palm Beach Police Department.
00:37:36.680And she was from a lower socioeconomic family, and she described the interior of Jeffrey Epstein's home and also his anatomy.
00:37:46.980So the police felt like she rang of authenticity, and they started an investigation.
00:37:56.440And the Palm Beach Police Department was able to identify 23 victims.
00:38:00.300But it initially was going to indict Jeffrey Epstein on five counts, four counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor and one count of lewd and lascivious molestation, which could have put Jeffrey Epstein in prison for a very long time.
00:38:15.840But they knew of a lot of other victims.
00:38:17.900This is just what they were going to start with.
00:38:19.980And that case was taken away from them and given to a grand jury.
00:38:26.540And generally, grand juries in Florida are just reserved for murder cases.
00:39:03.760The special prosecutor calls the witnesses.
00:39:06.800The special prosecutor shows the grand jurors the evidence.
00:39:10.420So there's a famous quip by a New York Supreme Court justice that said special prosecutors have so much power over grand juries that they could get them to indict a ham sandwich.
00:39:21.520And that's what happened with the Franklin grand juries.
00:39:24.960And that's what happened with the Epstein grand jury.
00:39:27.640Epstein, that grand jury found that Epstein hadn't molested a single child.
00:39:32.100And I got the transcripts of that grand jury.
00:39:34.700And although law enforcement knew of at least 23 victims, they only called two.
00:39:41.820Lana Belilovic was the special prosecutor, and she only called two.
00:39:46.760And one had been molested by Jeffrey Epstein when she was 14, and she was now 16.
00:39:51.740And one had been molested by Jeffrey Epstein multiple times when she was 16, and she was now 18.
00:39:57.120And the special prosecutor was calling the victims prostitutes and just skewered them.
00:40:07.780So that grand jury, it only called two victims and just destroyed them.
00:40:13.560And that grand jury then said that Jeffrey Epstein hadn't molested a single child.
00:40:18.780And then what happened, one of the real heroes in this story is Michael Ryder.
00:42:17.220And what it did is it gave blanket immunity, blanket immunity to all of the co-conspirators and perpetrators in the Epstein Network, all of them.
00:42:29.820And also, the Victim Crimes Rights Act is a federal law.
00:42:39.820And basically what it says is victims have to be apprised of the adjudication of their perpetrators.
00:42:48.480And they actually get to confront their perpetrators.
00:45:26.300And that was really, the way that that played out was really egregious because of how, as I said earlier, Alicia Owen getting 9 to 15 years.
00:45:40.560And basically the state and feds said that not a single child had been abused.
00:45:47.340And if you go to Wikipedia, it says that not a single child had been abused.
00:45:51.540And we've tried to change that, but intelligence is on Wikipedia and they will not let us change it.
00:56:32.720And I think that this is an issue when the government is aiding, bedding, child trafficking, and children are getting abused with impunity.
00:56:42.840I think that this is an issue that can bring both the left and the right together.
00:57:46.180Well, that's what they're really ramping up.
00:57:49.720They really think they're going to, you know, get the big reward on the divide and conquer when nobody stands up for anybody.
00:57:57.640You remember the whole thing about Germany?
00:57:59.800It said they came for the, I can't remember how it goes, they came for the people in red hats.
00:58:05.300And I didn't wear a red hat, so I said nothing and all the way down the line until they came for me and there was nobody left to stand up for me.
00:58:12.960Well, that is the politics that they're practicing along with the grooming in the schools and everything else to make pedophilia itself look normal so they can get themselves off the hook.
00:58:25.540At the very top, they're letting it, at the very top of every political group and every multinational corporation as well and every bank.
00:58:37.040Well, Jeffrey Epstein did a lot of work on behalf of banks and dissolving the sovereignty of nations for banks.
00:58:46.660And, you know, he knew how to twist every law against human beings and, you know, he did it for the benefit of power and all power is complicit in everything he did.
00:59:06.460It wasn't just him and, you know, a group of his tribal fellows.
00:59:12.760It was the whole damn system, the whole system, the whole world.
00:59:17.520And, you know, they thought they had it all sewed up.
01:00:13.020And when you get into money and Epstein, okay, so Les Wexner gave Jeffrey Epstein power of attorney in 1991.
01:00:20.800He was the CEO of L Brands, which owned Victoria's Secret and Abercrombie Fitch and other very popular clothing lines.
01:00:31.160And Les Wexner gave Jeffrey Epstein the keys to his kingdom.
01:00:37.420I mean, power of attorney, Epstein could do whatever he wanted with Les Wexner's billion dollars or two billion, or I guess now it's four billion.
01:00:47.200And this is kind of, actually, it's kind of humorous.
01:00:54.500It's tragic, but it's somewhat humorous.
01:00:57.780So, Vanity Fair said, and I can't, I'm not making this up.
01:01:06.160So, Vanity Fair, which is a relatively sophisticated magazine, said that Les Wexner gave Jeffrey Epstein power of attorney over his vast fortune because he was lonely.
01:01:40.340Well, I mean, just the contempt that that's written with that, like, oh, the reader will, the reader is stupid enough to believe this.
01:01:48.440The contempt for the reader is unbelievable.
01:01:50.960But the other stuff that they were doing, Wexner and Epstein at his New Mexico compound, I mean, they were doing Nazi-like experiments on, you know, aborted fetuses to make themselves live longer, too.
01:02:13.500And that's never included in, they went to the zenith of evil and ego.
01:02:21.080Well, I do know, Julia Bryant has said, I've interviewed her a few times, Julia Bryant has said that she was at the New Mexico place and then she went unconscious.
01:02:31.880I don't know why, but she woke up and she was in, like, an operating room.
01:02:54.040And, and, and I just knew at that point, even before I got into all this crazy stuff, I just thought to myself, there's got to be megalomaniac billionaires out there cloning themselves.
01:03:05.300Because if you can clone a sheep, you can clone a human.
01:05:26.700I think it was far more than, you know, it was just all the criminal enterprises that the CIA and all the Five Eyes and all the intelligence.
01:05:36.560I mean, that's just where all the criminals are.
01:05:39.040All you have to do is call yourself a contractor or somebody in intelligence.
01:05:43.660And, you know, it's like, you know, you have a pass for everything.
01:06:32.940I just want to point out a really important note.
01:06:35.160And not to, it's my bias making me do this, but I still think it's important.
01:06:39.980The divide and conquer strategy, because the American people, actually the world population, like you said, with Epsteinjustice.org, we do have powers.
01:06:49.200So it's very important to the people, the evil people in power that are trafficking in children, to keep us divided.
01:06:54.300And that is one of the things that we do here on the Roseanne Barr podcast, is we always fight against these tropes or these things that divide us.
01:07:04.880When you're mad at a certain group or a religious affiliation or a country, you are being played.
01:07:11.000And me and my mom want you to understand that we have to focus, like my mom always says, the people at the top that are actually responsible for all the evil.
01:07:33.240But it is one of the interesting things because the people leveling the charges against the Jews are themselves complicit in a far huger way than the Jews will ever be.
01:07:43.280And I'm talking about the Catholic Church, the U.N., Octagon in Switzerland, and Islam itself.
01:07:56.420And how easy it is for everybody to go down the same old medieval pathways that end in destruction of all, well, they're called Christian democracies, which is what they are.
01:08:09.500But that's the takedown of every Christian democracy, and people don't seem to see that.
01:08:18.000And, you know, the fact that they tried to turn this into being an Israel operation, or as Klandis Owen says, Israel's operation really pisses me off.
01:08:30.720Because, I mean, I know you don't want to say, but I will.
01:08:33.880Well, the fucking royal family of England is complicit in Epstein Island, and, you know, the prince was there.
01:08:44.480I mean, they just, they don't want us to see all the way to the top.
01:08:48.340They don't want us to look at Catholic charities and the trafficking of children across our borders, which they alone are responsible for.
01:08:55.980They don't, they only want us to, they want to farm our minds so that we play into their, what I call the Fourth Reich.
01:09:05.180And it is of a fascist world takeover, and they got to get rid of America because we stand in their way.
01:09:13.160So that's why I'm happy to hear that there are Americans waking up that want, that know that America is all that stands in the way of worldwide fascism.
01:09:22.880And that they know that we have the laws to protect ourselves and the world from it.
01:09:27.720All we have to do is work it, like they say in AA.
01:09:31.580It works if you work it, and we've got to work it.
01:13:57.440It's like there are so many victims out there and they're going through so much pain.
01:14:03.560I know a lot of people who are drug addicts, who are alcoholics, who are in some kind of trouble, who are even in prison because of being molested.
01:14:11.580You can take some power back by helping to do the right thing, by helping to be part of the change that this man has worked so hard for.
01:14:24.640And the change that Dr. Lois Lee, Audra, Kathy O'Brien and, you know, Mary Flynn, so many people in America who's stood up from their couch and said, that's enough.
01:14:56.960I mean, the percentage of people in prison that have been sexually abused is inordinate.
01:15:02.620And same with psychiatric hospitals, too.
01:15:05.580So we need, I mean, we're not going to be able to eradicate all of the child abuse here, but we're going to be able to, we got to start at the top.
01:15:15.540We got to make sure that the government isn't involved in it.
01:15:18.180And then we can, there's other vistas that we can go to and conquer.
01:15:52.200And it's ultimate sanity for the world.
01:15:55.420And every, we need to pass those laws.
01:15:58.480We need, actually, we need to enforce those laws.
01:16:02.280You know, I mean, it's, there are so many laws that, well, we need to pass a law that if the laws aren't enforced, you're going to, you know, you know what I mean?
01:16:15.160We have to have a law that anyone who doesn't enforce the law is in deep shit.
01:17:14.580And we can flush the rot and perfidiousness out of our political system.
01:17:21.060And when, as I, you know, we started this conversation, when the Speaker of the House shuts down an investigation into a child trafficking network, that's, it doesn't get much worse than that.
01:18:31.820I mean, you know, the Department of Justice and FBI released that strange document on July 6th that said that Epstein acted alone and really said, we don't believe you to hundreds of victims.
