What's up everyone and welcome to another episode
0:53
of the Epstein Chronicles.
0:56
Senator Ron Wyden has spent the better part of the year
1:00
telling us about Epstein's deep ties
1:02
to the financial sector.
1:05
But there's one little part that he has left out
1:08
and that part is his own son Adam Wyden
1:12
had his own connections to Jeffrey Epstein.
1:16
And in 2016, Adam Wyden and his firm ADW Capital
1:23
tried to get some money from Jeffrey Epstein
1:25
and of course that's after Jeffrey Epstein
1:28
was already arrested for crimes against minors.
1:31
But of course that didn't matter, did it?
1:33
Because for people like this,
1:35
it's always profits over people and make no mistake.
1:38
This is what makes people cynical
1:41
about the whole situation.
1:42
How can you take somebody serious
1:45
when their own kid was trying to get money from the same guy
1:49
that you're going crazy about?
1:51
Did you have that conversation with your son
1:53
and before airing out Leon Black,
1:56
you should have aired out your own kid.
1:58
Now of course you can air out Leon Black as well,
2:01
but don't try and play games,
2:02
don't try and you know act like your own son
2:05
had nothing to do with Epstein.
2:08
So today we have an article from the New York Post
2:11
and the headline on Earth D-Mails
2:13
revealed Democratic Senator's son wanted Epstein
2:17
I enjoyed our conversation.
2:20
This article was authored by Alec Shemel
2:23
and Cameron Cawthorn.
2:27
Senator Ron Wyden has spent months
2:30
hammering President Trump and his justice department
2:33
over their handling of Jeffrey Epstein records,
2:36
accusing them of trying to sweep evidence under the rug
2:39
and even teasing that his follow the money work
2:41
ties back to Donald Trump.
2:43
And Senator Wyden has been very adamant
2:47
that he believes that the paper trail
2:49
will lead back to Donald Trump.
2:51
And look, he might be right.
2:53
But one thing that we know for sure
2:55
is that the financial trail leads to his son.
2:58
So that's where the conversation should have started
3:01
because if you want to be taken seriously
3:03
and not look like you're just engaged in a hatchet job,
3:06
you have to treat everybody the same,
3:08
whether it's your son or your most heated
3:11
hated political rival.
3:13
And if you can't do that,
3:14
then you should have nothing to do with this case.
3:19
Because this case calls for serious adults
3:21
who are willing to stash their confirmation bias
3:24
and follow the evidence wherever it goes.
3:27
But unfortunately, we're stuck with wholly
3:29
unserious people who like to play games.
3:33
However, emails reviewed by Fox News Digital
3:36
in the DOJ Epstein Files show Wyden's own family connection
3:40
in April 2016 appointment at Epstein's Manhattan mansion
3:44
between his son Adam and the disgraced finance here.
3:48
So look, obviously there's levels here.
3:51
Leon Black was much more connected
3:54
intimately to Jeffrey Epstein than Senator Wyden's son.
4:01
But I don't think that's the issue.
4:03
I think the issue is that Senator Wyden has been very vocal
4:07
when it comes to the financial angle
4:09
of what was going down with Jeffrey Epstein.
4:12
And if you're going to be vocal about something like this,
4:15
you have to be unimpeachable because you know
4:18
you're going to have op-o research being run against you.
4:21
And the other side is going to look for anything
4:24
that they can possibly use against you.
4:27
And if your own son is in the files,
4:29
that's what we call leverage.
4:32
An email chain from late April 2016
4:35
after it was already public that Epstein was a convicted
4:38
child sex offender and was accused of operating
4:41
an underage sex slave ring shows Adam Wyden sought
4:45
investment backing from Epstein during a meeting
4:48
at Epstein's home in Manhattan,
4:50
where Epstein allegedly engaged
4:52
in some of his criminal activity.
4:54
Boy, isn't Fox News brave allegedly engaged, huh?
4:58
I mean, it might have happened.
4:59
We don't know such an absolute joke.
5:02
They know and they also know that it wasn't alleged.
5:06
A lot of abuse occurred New York, not alleged abuse.
5:09
I mean, is anyone actually doubting that Epstein
5:12
was abusing girls in New York?
5:14
Notice how they'll say alleged here.
5:17
But then when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein's death in jail,
5:20
they'll say that he died by suicide, no alleged,
5:23
just he died by suicide.
5:25
But sure, let's say alleged here,
5:26
the Senator's son founded his own private investment fund,
5:30
ADW Capital in 2010.
5:33
Jeffrey, I wanted to thank you for taking the time
5:37
I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation
5:40
and hope my passion and dedication
5:41
for my business came through in the meeting.
5:45
I live and breathe this business
5:47
and take my returns, integrity and reputation quite seriously.
5:51
Yeah, I take my reputation so seriously
5:54
that I'm reaching out to a child sex offender
5:57
to join my hedge fund.
5:58
I mean, nothing screams that you care
6:00
about your integrity and your reputation
6:02
like soliciting business from a child sex offender.
6:06
Other emails inside the tranche of Epstein documents
6:08
released by the DOJ show Epstein
6:11
and the younger Wyden communicating about a time
6:14
and a location for the meeting.
6:16
Meanwhile, another document appearing
6:18
to be a ledger of Epstein's daily engagements
6:21
and activities on April 28th, 2016
6:25
marks the meeting is taking place at 10 a.m. that day.
6:28
Now, imagine, Brian, the way that Senator Wyden has
6:32
and your own son is showing up with a beggarable,
6:34
trying to get Jeffrey Epstein as part of his fund.
6:38
The whole thing's disgusting
6:40
and it plays right into the hands of people
6:42
trying to call it a hoax.
6:44
Because when you're not serious
6:46
and when you're dishonest
6:48
and you're only playing politics here,
6:49
you're causing great damage to not only the case
6:52
but to the survivors.
6:54
Because the only way that we're ever going to get real justice
6:58
or hold anybody accountable is if it's bipartisan.
7:02
And when you have people like Ron Wyden
7:04
who has a personal connection to what's going on here,
7:07
trying to lob grenades at the other side
7:09
while not taking any accountability for his own son,
7:13
it's a big problem and it certainly chips away
7:15
at the credibility of what we're trying to accomplish.
7:19
The same scheduling document also describes
7:22
the young Wyden in parentheses as Jonathan Farkis' friend.
7:26
Farkis appears to refer to the husband
7:28
of President Trump's ambassador to Malta
7:31
and the brother of Andrew Farkis
7:33
who had a profound friendship and business ties
7:36
with Epstein according to The New York Times.
7:40
I don't speak to my kids about their business activities
7:42
and I read about this a few months ago
7:44
on social media like everybody else.
7:47
Senator Wyden said in a statement
7:48
the Fox News Digital went and reached for comment.
7:52
My investigation began four years ago
7:54
and continues unchanged.
7:56
I want transparency and accountability across the board.
8:00
Well, if you knew about this,
8:01
why didn't you come out right away
8:03
and say, look, my son's caught up in this.
8:05
He tried to get money from Epstein
8:06
and explain the situation.
8:08
But instead it comes out like this
8:10
and it makes it look like Senator Wyden's hiding things.
8:13
Adam did not respond to Fox News digital requests
8:16
for comment and time for publication.
8:19
Wyden has repeatedly hammered the Trump administration
8:22
over accessed Epstein related records
8:25
and argued his follow the money investigation
8:28
ties back to Donald Trump.
8:30
And just to be clear, Senator Wyden
8:32
hasn't shown us any of that evidence.
8:35
Now if we're talking about Leon Black, 100%.

Hey, I'm Josh Speagle, host of the podcast,
8:58
Luna Tick in the newsroom.
8:59
If you enjoy journalism that drifts into mild panic
9:02
wild overthinking and a guaranteed nervous breakdown,
9:05
Luna Tick in the newsroom is for you.
9:08
It's news like you've never heard before.
9:10
The only newsroom with a panic button.
9:12
You'll laugh, you'll cry, and gasp and horror
9:15
as the show spirals completely out of control.
9:18
It's not just news, it's emotionally unstable.
9:21
Luna Tick in the newsroom, listen today.
9:25
Hi, this is Alex Cantrowitz.
9:27
I'm the host of Big Technology podcast,
9:29
a longtime reporter and an on-air contributor to CMBC.
9:32
And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out
9:34
how artificial intelligence is changing
9:36
the business world and our lives.
9:38
So each week on Big Technology, I bring on key actors
9:41
from companies building AI tech and outsiders trying
9:44
to influence it, asking where this is all going.
9:47
They come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon,
9:51
So if you want to be smart with your wallet,
9:53
your career choices, and meetings with your colleagues
9:55
and at dinner parties, listen to Big Technology podcast
9:58
or wherever you get your podcasts.
10:01
But the allegations about it tying back to Trump,
10:04
I haven't seen the evidence yet.
10:06
If somebody has that evidence, the actual paper trail,
10:08
I'd love to see it.
10:10
Because that's a banger, right?
10:12
That's a kind of thing that can lead to a conviction.
10:15
So I'd love to see that.
10:17
But we have to deal in reality, right?
10:19
It's one thing to hope and wish
10:20
that things are going to change
10:22
or things are going to be this way or that way.
10:25
And then of course, there's the reality
10:27
that we're forced to live in.
10:29
And even when evidence is presented,
10:31
some people are so caught up in that confirmation bias
10:35
that they refuse to follow the evidence wherever it leads.
10:38
And that state of denial is only hardened
10:41
when you have situations like this pop up.
10:44
When you have people out there that already
10:46
are on the fence about the legitimacy of what the Senate
10:50
or Congress is doing when it comes to Epstein.
10:53
And then something like this pops up
10:55
where Senator Wyden is not being truthful
10:58
or hasn't been forthcoming about his own family's relationship.
11:02
It really kneecaps Senator Wyden's credibility.
11:05
And when we're talking about this topic specifically,
11:08
your credibility is the only currency that you have.
11:14
One of the most important questions that comes out of this
11:17
is why we're America's leading banks
11:18
and number of them basically sleepwalking
11:20
throughout this whole Epstein matter.
11:23
Wyden said in a video, chronicling his probe
11:26
into the Epstein scandal as the ranking member
11:29
of the Senate Finance Committee.
11:30
They should have been watchdogging this.
11:33
They should have brought law enforcement,
11:35
what they believed was going on.
11:37
Well, I can't disagree with that, right?
11:41
The banks played a gigantic role here.
11:44
And their willingness to look the other way
11:47
allowed Jeffrey Epstein to operate for as long as he did.
11:51
And it led to countless women and girls being abused.
11:56
Wyden also touted his plan to author a bill
11:59
that would hold banks accountable in the future
12:01
if they turned a blind eye to such a legal activity.
12:04
Well, that would be nice.
12:06
Imagine holding the banks accountable for once.
12:09
Good Lord, that would be a change.
12:11
At the time of the April 2016 meeting
12:14
between Epstein and the Senator of Sun,
12:16
Epstein was already a convicted sex offender
12:19
who had pleaded guilty in Florida
12:21
to sexually abusing a minor
12:23
and the Palm Beach investigation
12:25
that led to Epstein's plea
12:27
had identified dozens of possible Epstein victims,
12:30
many which were reportedly minors, possible victims.
12:34
And it all goes back to that initial investigation.
12:38
And that's why I'm so adamant and so vocal
12:41
about how shitty that investigation was.
12:44
Because that's the basis people use
12:46
to say that this whole thing's overblown.
12:48
Oh, it was one girl.
12:49
She was about to turn 18.
12:51
What the fuck kind of drugs are you on?
12:54
Are you smoking LSD and quailudes?
12:57
Because if you think that it was only one girl
12:59
and she was 17 about to turn 18, you're crazy.
13:04
That is not what the evidence showed.
13:06
What the evidence shows us is at the prosecution
13:09
and the federal government conspired with Epstein
13:14
to give him that NPA.
13:15
That's what the evidence shows.
13:17
And if we want to get to the bottom of this,
13:19
if we want real accountability for people
13:21
that were involved, we have to start at ground zero.
13:25
And ground zero here is most certainly Palm Beach.
13:28
But as far as the story at hand,
13:31
it's terrible when we're talking about optics.
13:34
If you're sitting on the Senate
13:36
and you're demanding everybody else be accountable,
13:38
everybody else show full transparency
13:41
and your own son is outed as somebody trying to get funds
13:44
from Epstein after he was already convicted
13:47
as a child abuser, my advice to Senator Wyden
13:50
cleans up his own backyard
13:52
before popping his head over the wall
13:54
and complaining about his neighbors.
