Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Going After Greenland Reaction to the College Football National Championship, where Indiana defeated Miami in a game Clay Travis and Buck Sexton attended in person alongside President Donald Trump. The hosts describe the atmosphere as overwhelmingly pro‑Indiana despite Miami hosting, highlight Trump’s appearance during the national anthem, and reflect on what they characterize as a renewed sense of public patriotism at major American sporting events. A deep dive into President Trump’s escalating push to acquire Greenland, which Clay and Buck frame as one of the most consequential and unexpected foreign‑policy stories of the moment. They analyze Trump’s comments asserting that Denmark cannot adequately defend the territory, his insistence that the U.S. “has to have it” for national security reasons, and prediction‑market odds placing roughly a 50‑50 chance on American control of at least part of Greenland in the near future. The hosts connect the potential acquisition to U.S. military strategy, Arctic dominance, rare‑earth minerals, long‑term resource access, and historical precedents like the Louisiana Purchase and the Alaska deal. Exploring the U.S. military presence at Greenland’s Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base) and NATO reactions, including symbolic European military drills. Clay and Buck argue these gestures have not deterred Trump, who has elevated Greenland as a headline issue ahead of the World Economic Forum in Davos. They discuss Trump’s negotiating style—starting with seemingly outrageous positions to force concessions—and speculate on territorial status, sovereignty questions, and whether Greenland’s small population could eventually vote to become a U.S. territory under existing American territorial law. Trump 2.0 An evaluation of President Donald Trump’s first year in his second term, marking the one‑year anniversary of Trump’s return to office and the official start of Trump 2.0 Year Two. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton frame this hour as a turning point—from executing the campaign agenda to actively selling Trump’s record ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, which the hosts describe as the final national referendum on Trump’s presidency. Clay outlines eight major accomplishments of Trump’s second term so far, led by the most secure southern border in U.S. history, followed by record‑high stock prices, strong GDP growth, declining inflation despite tariffs, historic murder declines, collapsing fentanyl overdose deaths, falling mortgage rates, and four‑year‑low gas prices. Clay and Buck argue these metrics reflect decisive leadership and policy execution, even as they acknowledge lingering economic frustration among voters due to residual inflation from prior administrations. Listener polls and talkbacks show overwhelming support from Trump voters, with most grading the president’s first year an “A.” Oppression Narratives A major cultural segment in Hour 2 examines what Clay and Buck describe as modern left‑wing victimhood narratives, sparked by comments made on The View by actress Pam Grier claiming she witnessed lynchings as a child in Ohio. The hosts dissect historical data showing the claim is impossible given Grier’s birth year and Ohio’s documented history. They argue the story reflects a broader media failure to challenge false narratives that reinforce ideological grievance politics, highlighting how such claims go unchallenged on mainstream television. This discussion expands into a deeper breakdown of historical lynching data, including distinctions between frontier justice, mob violence, and formal definitions used by organizations like the NAACP. Buck emphasizes that lynching history is often misrepresented for political impact, while Clay argues objective reality and historical context must matter in public discourse. Why Greenland Matters A detailed discussion of Greenland and geopolitics, which Clay and Buck describe as one of the most important foreign‑policy themes emerging ahead of Davos. They respond to statements from European leaders, including the European Commission and Danish officials, rejecting any U.S. claim to Greenland. Clay and Buck outline Trump’s strategic rationale, focusing on Arctic security, resource access, emerging shipping lanes, and historical precedents such as the U.S. purchase of Alaska and the U.S. Virgin Islands from Denmark. They argue Trump envisions a negotiated, voluntary territorial arrangement rather than military action, potentially involving direct payments and a referendum among Greenland’s population.

This week, Conrad had the pleasure of speaking with his good friend, Natalie Ritter. Natalie is currently pursuing her master's degree in Marine and Environmental Science at the University of the Virgin Islands. Her research focuses on the biodiversity and taxonomy of Apicomplexan blood parasites that infect coral reef fishes. They speak on accessibility of scientific information and the benefit of a variety of different media types to spread awareness.  Takeaway: Everything is connected. #reefish #parasites #virginislands

The lawsuit filed by Epstein's survivors against the U.S. Virgin Islands accuses the territorial government of enabling, protecting, and materially benefiting from Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking operation for decades. The survivors allege that Epstein could not have operated his trafficking network on Little St. James and throughout the USVI without the knowing cooperation or willful blindness of government officials. According to the complaint, Epstein received extraordinary tax breaks, regulatory exemptions, and political access while simultaneously importing underage girls, operating private aircraft, and maintaining compounds that functioned as crime scenes. The lawsuit asserts that repeated warnings, tips, and red flags were ignored, and that the USVI failed to investigate, enforce laws, or intervene even as evidence of abuse mounted over years.The survivors further argue that the USVI's conduct went beyond negligence and crossed into active facilitation. They claim Epstein's businesses were used as a financial shield to launder money, avoid scrutiny, and legitimize his presence in the territory, while local officials allegedly enjoyed campaign donations, prestige, and economic benefits tied to Epstein's investments. The lawsuit seeks accountability not just for Epstein's crimes, but for the institutional failures that allowed them to continue unchecked, asserting that government complicity turned the USVI into a safe haven for exploitation. By naming the territory itself as a defendant, the survivors are attempting to force a reckoning with how power, money, and corruption combined to silence victims and protect a serial trafficker operating in plain sight.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Senate was deadlocked at 50-50 on a point of order vote to strip the War Powers Resolution of its privileged status to block a final vote.

In an exclusive interview in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to wrap up his nearly four-year-old invasion of Ukraine. Zelenskiy, the U.S. president said, was more reticent. “I think he's ready to make a deal,” Trump said of the Russian president. “I think Ukraine is less ready to make a deal.” Asked why U.S.-led negotiations had not yet resolved Europe's largest land conflict since World War Two, Trump responded: “Zelenskiy.”   Source: theconservativetreehouse.com  https://twitter.com/zeroDEIUSA/status/2011211989847326747?s=20  this point, dictated that Canada, Denmark, and NATO generally are allowed to sit on their collective asses vis a'vis Defense. Poland and Hungary are the exceptions since they rarely conform to WEF dictums. But we also know something else: This administration doesn't see the world and this hemisphere through a WEF lens. Those differences in world view, opinion, policy, and sense of urgency between America and our allies are bubbling up publicly. I don't think the friction is or will be inconsequential. In fact, I would posit that the hairline cracks we hear about, in terms of NATO cooperation and membership, will inevitably become full fledged fissures. There are any number of pressure points between this administration and our ANO's (allies in name only) most notably the UK. Saber rattling has become the norm in communiques from Germany, the UK, and the EU. Calls for a “European only” Army and Navy have come from the upper and middle echelons of the military in several NATO member nations in Europe. The Europeans are shocked and outraged by our statements and concerns about Greenland. Now I could be wrong; but it seems that NATO's members are viewing our actions in Venezuela as well as Trump's position that Ukraine is largely a Euro problem, and his vision that the “Donroe” doctrine should be a precursor to a solid military defense strategy as well as a strategic trading block composed by countries in the Western Hemisphere as an emerging existential threat. And indeed it is. We have all seen examples that, by now prove conclusively, that Trump and his advisers are some of the best “tea leaf” readers ever. I honestly think this administration sees the rapid cultural, political, and social deterioration in Europe (Germany, Austria, France, the UK) and other Western nations (Australia and NZ) as harbingers and not one off's. And as such, I believe Trump and his team have concluded that these EU countries have reached a point of no return in every measure that matters. I believe the head butting will, by the end of Trump's term, deteriorate or accelerate to locking horns with former allies and our eventual departure from them as a bloc in favor of the Western Hemisphere as a replacement block. The “Donroe” doctrine says as much. I believe Trump would prefer to capitalize on Geography. That is to say a land mass that stretches from the Arctic circle to the Antarctic circle with North America and South America in between. I believe he sees that as something America can control, protect, and develop. How this will play out, I'm not sure. But I believe he is quietly preparing an exit ramp for our departure from NATO per se. It will be interesting. He will leave office and hand this massive initiative to Vance and Rubio; confident in their judgment and ability to execute. Medical/False Flags President Trump Announces “The Great Healthcare Plan” President Donald J. Trump's Great Healthcare Plan is a broad healthcare initiative that will slash prescription drug prices, reduce insurance premiums, hold big insurance companies accountable, and maximize price transparency in the American healthcare system. This plan will deliver money directly to the American people, not insurance companies, big pharma and special interest groups—putting patients over industry leaders' profits, just as he promised. The Great Healthcare Plan also builds on the successes of his first term by promoting competition, eliminating wasteful spending, and putting consumers back in control.

While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle. As the officer was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the original subject got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom stick. Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg.

For the Minnesota scenario described in the post (involving federal agents and no mention of a state request), §§252 or 253 would likely apply, allowing action without state consent. Next Steps for InvocationIf President Trump decides to proceed, the process is straightforward but must follow statutory requirements. Here’s a step-by-step outline based on the law and historical precedents: Assess and Determine Applicability: The President (or advisors) evaluates whether the situation meets one of the Act’s criteria, such as rebellion against federal authority or obstructions to law enforcement. This is an internal executive decision, often informed by reports from agencies like DHS, DOJ, or DOD. No formal public step is required here, but it sets the legal justification.  Issue a Presidential Proclamation (§254): Before deploying forces, the President must publicly issue a proclamation ordering the “insurgents” or obstructors to disperse and return home peacefully within a specified time limit (e.g., hours or days). This serves as a formal warning and is a mandatory prerequisite under the law. The proclamation is typically published in the Federal Register and announced via White House channels.  Failure to issue this could make any deployment unlawful. Monitor Compliance and Issue an Executive Order for Deployment: If the proclamation is ignored, the President can issue an executive order authorizing the deployment of federal troops or federalizing the National Guard. This order specifies the scope, duration, and rules of engagement. Troops can then be mobilized to enforce laws, restore order, or protect federal operations (e.g., supporting ICE in this case). Deployment is not automatic upon invocation; it’s at the President’s discretion. Oversight and Termination: Once invoked, the deployment continues until the President determines the crisis is resolved. Congress can potentially override or limit it through legislation, but this is rare. The Act requires reporting to Congress “as soon as practicable” on the reasons and measures taken. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2011886917311414381?s=20 Republican Rep.

The Panama City physician-serving lawmaker said he wants to spend more time with his family, but his departure comes at a perilous moment for the GOP as Republicans cling to a razor-thin House majority. Dunn's decision to step away from the House after a decade of service leaves Florida's 2nd Congressional District wide open and adds to a growing list of incumbents abandoning their posts ahead of one of the most consequential midterm cycles in recent memory. https://twitter.com/DrNealDunnFL2/status/2011092421866930495?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2011092421866930495%7Ctwgr%5E90201f9195637f0f3c794268082281e562876921%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fgop-rep-neal-dunn-announces-retirement-after-five%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com UPDATE: Pam Bondi Reveals Classified Leaker Behind Trump's Venezuela Operation Was Pentagon IT Contractor   Pam Bondi revealed that the classified leaker was a Pentagon IT contractor who has been arrested and jailed for endangering U.S. military operations and national security.

The disclosure came during an explosive interview with Sean Hannity, where Bondi confirmed that the Trump DOJ and FBI are aggressively pursuing those who leak classified military intelligence and the media figures who obtain and publish it.

The narrative pushed by the corporate media has officially collapsed. After early reports claimed that at least six prosecutors in the Minneapolis U.S. Attorney's Office had “resigned in protest” over the Justice Department's actions following the fatal shooting of ICE protester Renee Nicole Good, Attorney General Pam Bondi stepped in and set the record straight.  According to The New York Times, the group of ousted attorneys includes Joe Thompson (Former Acting U.S. Attorney) Harry Jacobs Melinda Williams Thomas Calhoun-Lopez Ruth Schneider Tom Hollenhurst Source: thegatewaypundit.com HUGE WIN FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY: Supreme Court Greenlights Lawsuits Against Late Mail-In Ballots — Opens Door to Nationwide Challenges to Democrat Schemes The Supreme Court handed a crushing blow to the radical left's ballot-harvesting machine on Wednesday. In a stunning 7-2 decision, the High Court ruled that Republican Congressman Mike Bost (R-IL) has the legal standing to challenge Illinois's unconstitutional law that allows mail-in ballots to be counted up to 14 days after Election Day. This ruling reverses the Seventh Circuit and sends the case back to the lower court—where Illinois' late-ballot scheme will now be evaluated on the merits This is the game-changer we have been waiting for. For years, Democrats and their media allies have relied on “late-arriving ballots” to shift the results of elections days or even weeks after the polls close. We all remember what happened in 2020. We remember the “pauses” and the late-night spikes. But now, the Supreme Court has finally opened the floodgates for Republicans to sue to stop it. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, made it clear: candidates have a “personal stake” in the rules governing their elections. This destroys the liberal argument that Republicans can't sue unless they can prove a specific fraudulent ballot cost them the race. The following states accept ballots that arrive late, as long as they have a valid postmark: Alaska California District of Columbia Illinois Maryland Massachusetts Mississippi Nevada New Jersey New York Oregon Texas (Note: Must be received by 5:00 PM the day after Election Day) Virginia Washington West Virginia Note on Territories: Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam also typically accept late-arriving ballots if postmarked by Election Day. Several states that previously accepted late-arriving ballots have recently passed laws requiring ballots to be in the hands of election officials by the time polls close on Election Day, regardless of when they were mailed. Kansas (Changed in 2024/2025) North Dakota (Changed in 2025) Ohio (Changed in 2025) Utah (Changed in 2025) In all other states (e.g., Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona), your ballot must be received by the county election office by the close of polls on Election Day.

JP Morgan alleged in court filings that Jeffrey Epstein actively worked to influence and control politicians in the U.S. Virgin Islands in order to protect his interests and preserve the permissive environment that allowed him to operate with minimal scrutiny. According to the bank, Epstein cultivated close relationships with key USVI officials, donated money, provided favors, and positioned himself as an economic benefactor to gain leverage over regulatory and law enforcement decisions. JP Morgan argued that Epstein used this influence to shape policy outcomes, discourage investigations, and neutralize threats to his operations on Little St. James, effectively embedding himself into the political fabric of the territory. The bank framed Epstein not as a passive recipient of protection, but as an active operator who understood how to manipulate small, politically vulnerable jurisdictions.More controversially, JP Morgan asserted that Epstein's conduct amounted to an effort to bend USVI politicians to his will, portraying him as someone who believed he could purchase insulation from consequences through access, money, and pressure. The bank claimed that this dynamic was well understood within Epstein's circle and that USVI officials repeatedly failed to act despite mounting red flags, complaints, and allegations. While these claims were made in the context of JP Morgan's defense strategy, they echoed long-standing criticisms that Epstein's power was reinforced by a corrupting influence over local governance. The allegations sharpened the focus on the USVI not merely as a backdrop to Epstein's crimes, but as a jurisdiction where political capture and regulatory failure allegedly allowed him to operate with near impunity for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The lawsuit filed by Epstein's survivors against the U.S. Virgin Islands and its political leadership was a direct attempt to hold the government itself accountable for what the plaintiffs describe as years of willful blindness, facilitation, and corruption that allowed Epstein's trafficking operation to flourish openly on USVI soil. In the complaint, survivors allege that senior Virgin Islands officials knew Epstein was sexually abusing and trafficking underage girls at Little St. James and related properties, yet continued to provide him with extraordinary protections. According to the suit, those protections included favorable tax treatment, lax regulatory oversight, assistance with immigration and travel issues, and a general refusal to investigate credible reports of abuse. The survivors frame the USVI not as a passive bystander, but as an active enabler whose officials allegedly chose Epstein's money and political influence over the safety of children.In context, the lawsuit is significant because it shifts the focus away from Epstein as a lone criminal and squarely onto the governmental systems that, according to the plaintiffs, made his crimes possible for decades. The survivors argue that Epstein's operation could not have functioned at the scale it did without institutional cooperation or deliberate neglect, particularly in a small jurisdiction where his activities were widely known. By naming politicians and government entities, the suit seeks to pierce the long-standing narrative that Epstein merely “slipped through the cracks,” instead asserting that the cracks were deliberately widened for him. The case is as much about exposing how power protects itself as it is about compensation, positioning the USVI as a test case for whether governments can be held civilly liable for enabling large-scale sexual exploitation through corruption, indifference, and abuse of authority.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Sarah Kellen came into focus during the Epstein investigation as one of the key figures within Jeffrey Epstein's inner circle who allegedly helped run and manage many logistics of his sex-trafficking enterprise. She first drew attention in police and court documents from the 2000s, where a 2007 Palm Beach probable-cause affidavit named her and three other women as “unindicted co-conspirators” in the case that led to Epstein's controversial non-prosecution deal — meaning she was identified as someone deeply involved in the operation but granted immunity at the time. Victims' lawsuits and testimony in later proceedings, including during Ghislaine Maxwell's 2021 trial and 2022 sentencing, repeatedly referenced Kellen as the person who scheduled Epstein's “massage” appointments, coordinated travel, and communicated with girls who were brought to Epstein's homes, often arranging their movements and facilitating contact with him. A federal judge in the Maxwell case even described her as a “knowing participant” and “criminally responsible participant” in the conspiracy, underscoring her central logistical roleDespite this spotlight, Kellen has never been charged with federal crimes related to Epstein's sex trafficking and has avoided public prosecution, largely because of the broad immunity provisions in the 2008 agreement that protected possible co-conspirators. After Epstein's 2019 death, her name resurfaced in unsealed litigation and civil actions, including lawsuits against Epstein's estate where she was named as a defendant alongside Epstein and Maxwell for allegedly facilitating abuse. Additionally, investigative efforts such as the U.S. Virgin Islands' civil case against JPMorgan Chase sought to depose her to shed light on financial and organizational aspects of Epstein's network, further bringing her into focus as someone with critical knowledge about how the enterprise operated.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In pursuing civil enforcement under the Virgin Islands' Criminally Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (CICO), former U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George didn't just target Jeffrey Epstein's estate and his immediate corporate structures — she cast a far wider net that reached into major financial institutions she believed enabled and obscured his criminal enterprise. After securing a blockbuster $105 million settlement with Epstein's estate and co-defendants for human trafficking, child exploitation, fraud, and corrupt use of tax incentives, her office issued subpoenas to multiple banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, and Citibank, seeking detailed account records, wire transfers, and communications related to Epstein's myriad corporations, trusts, and financial vehicles. These subpoenas were intended to trace how funds moved through Epstein's networks and whether banks knowingly facilitated or failed to flag suspicious activity tied to his sex-trafficking scheme.George then took the extraordinary step of filing a federal lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase, accusing the bank of “knowingly facilitati[ng], sustain[ing], and conceal[ing]” Epstein's human trafficking operations and alleging it financially benefitted from maintaining and managing his accounts over years. The complaint portrayed JPMorgan as indispensable to Epstein's ability to pay recruiters and victims, maintain secrecy, and profit from his criminal enterprise — claims that expanded the legal exposure beyond individuals directly implicated in abuse to the financial systems that kept Epstein's operation solvent. Although Deutsche Bank was not named as a defendant in George's suit, the broader investigative push signaled an effort to hold major financial players accountable for oversight failures or complicity in facilitating one of the most notorious trafficking networks in recent history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell filed a **civil lawsuit against the Jeffrey Epstein estate in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2020 seeking reimbursement and indemnification for the massive legal costs she has incurred defending herself against multiple civil claims tied to her association with Epstein. In her complaint, Maxwell argued that Epstein had made “clear and unambiguous” promises to financially support her — including covering her legal fees — based on their years-long personal and professional relationship, during which she managed many of his properties and affairs. She also asserted that she has faced ongoing death threats and substantial personal security expenses as a result of the public notoriety and allegations against her, and therefore the estate should cover those costs as well.Maxwell denied any involvement in Epstein's criminal misconduct and positioned her claim as one of employment and contractual obligation, insisting that her role as his manager and confidante created a duty on the estate's part to indemnify her. Her lawsuit was essentially a fight to shift the financial burden of defending against lawsuits and personal security needs to Epstein's estate — even as many of those suits accused her of playing a key role in facilitating Epstein's sexual trafficking scheme. The case drew sharp criticism from survivors, some of whom viewed it as an attempt to evade responsibility and profit from legal processes tied to the very harms they endured..to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In his October 2009 deposition, taken during the Jeffrey Epstein v. Bradley Edwards defamation lawsuit, longtime Epstein pilot Larry Visoski described his decades of employment under Epstein and the routine nature of his work. Questioned by victims' attorney Bradley Edwards, Visoski confirmed that he had flown Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and numerous guests—some of them prominent figures—across Epstein's properties in New York, Florida, New Mexico, and the Virgin Islands. Represented by Critton & Reinhardt, Visoski repeatedly emphasized that his duties were strictly professional: piloting aircraft, maintaining schedules, and ensuring safe transport. When pressed about the ages of female passengers, he claimed he never knowingly flew minors and denied witnessing any sexual activity or misconduct aboard Epstein's planes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Throughout its Epstein-related lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase, the U.S. Virgin Islands adopted an openly aggressive litigation posture, repeatedly hammering the bank through a series of sharply worded motions. The USVI accused JPMorgan of enabling and profiting from Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation by ignoring obvious red flags, failing basic anti-money-laundering controls, and continuing to provide banking services long after Epstein's criminal conduct was widely known. Motion after motion, the territory framed JPMorgan not as a passive bystander, but as a sophisticated financial institution that chose profit and client retention over compliance, survivor safety, and the law.In this episode, we revisit those filings to show that the USVI was not merely posturing—it was methodically building a narrative of institutional failure and moral bankruptcy. By dissecting the government's repeated attacks, we examine how the territory used discovery disputes, sanctions motions, and oppositions to expose what it described as JPMorgan's internal awareness of Epstein's activities and its efforts to minimize fallout rather than stop the abuse.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

During the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, testimony from Larry Visoski, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime pilot, provided jurors with a detailed look at Epstein's extensive travel patterns and the people who routinely accompanied him. Visoski described flying Epstein on numerous domestic and international trips over many years, including to the U.S. Virgin Islands, New Mexico, and overseas destinations. He testified that young women and girls were frequently passengers on these flights, sometimes traveling without parents or clear explanations for their presence. Visoski's testimony helped establish the scale and regularity of Epstein's operations, showing that the movement of underage girls was not incidental but a repeated and normalized part of Epstein's private air travel.David Rodgers, Epstein's former property manager in the U.S. Virgin Islands, complemented Visoski's testimony by explaining how Epstein's residences functioned on the ground, particularly on Little Saint James. Rodgers described seeing young girls at the island, observing their interactions with Epstein, and understanding that their presence was sexual in nature. He testified that the girls were often brought to Epstein as part of an expected routine and that staff understood not to interfere. Together, Visoski and Rodgers provided corroborating insider accounts—one from the air and one from the ground—that reinforced the prosecution's argument that Ghislaine Maxwell was part of a broader, sustained system that enabled Epstein's abuse rather than a peripheral figure disconnected from it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Prince Andrew was not covered by Jeffrey Epstein's 2007–2008 federal Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA), a point that has repeatedly been misunderstood or deliberately obscured. Legal experts have emphasized that the NPA applied narrowly to Epstein himself and, at most, to unnamed U.S.-based co-conspirators under specific jurisdictional limits tied to the Southern District of Florida. Prince Andrew, a British national with alleged conduct occurring outside that jurisdiction—including in the United Kingdom, New York, and the U.S. Virgin Islands—fell entirely outside the agreement's scope. Courts later made clear that the NPA did not grant immunity to foreign nationals, did not bind other federal districts, and did not preempt civil or criminal exposure beyond the deal's precise terms.That legal reality became especially clear during Virginia Giuffre's civil case against Prince Andrew, where judges rejected arguments that Epstein's plea deal insulated Andrew from liability. The settlement Andrew ultimately reached was not a function of legal protection under the NPA, but rather a strategic move to avoid sworn testimony, discovery, and the risk of trial. Attorneys and legal analysts have noted that Andrew's long period of effective insulation stemmed from political deference, diplomatic sensitivity, and institutional hesitation—not from any binding legal shield in Epstein's agreement. In short, Andrew was never legally protected by the Epstein NPA; he was protected by silence, delay, and power, none of which carried the force of law.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In the Epstein-related civil lawsuit between the U.S. Virgin Islands and JPMorgan Chase, the two sides agreed to a sweeping protective order designed to tightly control how evidence would be handled during discovery. The order allowed both parties to designate large volumes of documents, testimony, and exhibits as confidential or highly confidential, restricting their public release and limiting access to attorneys, experts, and the court. Given the sensitive nature of the case—touching on allegations of sex trafficking, financial compliance failures, and internal bank communications—the protective order functioned as a framework to keep potentially explosive material out of the public eye while the litigation moved forward.At the same time, the scope of the protective order drew criticism because it effectively placed a veil over records that could illuminate how Epstein was able to operate financially for years. By shielding internal emails, compliance reviews, and banking records from immediate disclosure, the agreement reinforced concerns that civil litigation was once again prioritizing institutional risk management over public accountability. While such orders are common in complex financial cases, in the context of Epstein, the arrangement underscored the tension between protecting sensitive information and the public's interest in understanding how powerful institutions may have enabled or ignored a known predator.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In his October 2009 deposition, taken during the Jeffrey Epstein v. Bradley Edwards defamation lawsuit, longtime Epstein pilot Larry Visoski described his decades of employment under Epstein and the routine nature of his work. Questioned by victims' attorney Bradley Edwards, Visoski confirmed that he had flown Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and numerous guests—some of them prominent figures—across Epstein's properties in New York, Florida, New Mexico, and the Virgin Islands. Represented by Critton & Reinhardt, Visoski repeatedly emphasized that his duties were strictly professional: piloting aircraft, maintaining schedules, and ensuring safe transport. When pressed about the ages of female passengers, he claimed he never knowingly flew minors and denied witnessing any sexual activity or misconduct aboard Epstein's planes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

During the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, testimony from Larry Visoski, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime pilot, provided jurors with a detailed look at Epstein's extensive travel patterns and the people who routinely accompanied him. Visoski described flying Epstein on numerous domestic and international trips over many years, including to the U.S. Virgin Islands, New Mexico, and overseas destinations. He testified that young women and girls were frequently passengers on these flights, sometimes traveling without parents or clear explanations for their presence. Visoski's testimony helped establish the scale and regularity of Epstein's operations, showing that the movement of underage girls was not incidental but a repeated and normalized part of Epstein's private air travel.David Rodgers, Epstein's former property manager in the U.S. Virgin Islands, complemented Visoski's testimony by explaining how Epstein's residences functioned on the ground, particularly on Little Saint James. Rodgers described seeing young girls at the island, observing their interactions with Epstein, and understanding that their presence was sexual in nature. He testified that the girls were often brought to Epstein as part of an expected routine and that staff understood not to interfere. Together, Visoski and Rodgers provided corroborating insider accounts—one from the air and one from the ground—that reinforced the prosecution's argument that Ghislaine Maxwell was part of a broader, sustained system that enabled Epstein's abuse rather than a peripheral figure disconnected from it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The U.S. Virgin Islands formally ended its civil racketeering (CICO) lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein's estate in late 2022 after reaching a $105 million settlement, marking the close of one of the most aggressive legal efforts to hold his operation accountable. The lawsuit had accused Epstein's estate of operating a criminal enterprise under the federal RICO framework—alleging that his private island, Little St. James, was used as a hub for sex trafficking, coercion, and the movement of victims across international lines. The territory's Attorney General's Office argued that Epstein's vast web of shell companies and real estate holdings were tools to facilitate and conceal illegal activity, effectively turning the U.S. Virgin Islands into the epicenter of his trafficking operation. By ending the case, the territory secured both financial restitution and the right to pursue claims against co-conspirators and associated entities.While the settlement concluded the direct case against the Epstein estate, it left open the possibility of continued investigations into those who helped enable his crimes within the islands' jurisdiction. The deal required the estate to sell Epstein's island properties and distribute funds to survivors, with part of the proceeds going to local anti-trafficking initiatives. In public statements, the U.S. Virgin Islands government characterized the resolution as a “victory for justice,” though critics noted that it avoided full discovery and depositions that might have exposed more about Epstein's powerful network. The case's conclusion symbolized a pragmatic end to litigation—but also reinforced a lingering frustration: even in death, Epstein managed to settle before the full truth ever reached open court.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The government of the U.S. Virgin Islands alleged in court filings that Jamie Dimon, as chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, knew—or should have known—about Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking activities while the bank maintained Epstein as a client. The USVI's complaint argued that Epstein's conduct was not hidden from view, citing internal bank communications, compliance warnings, and the volume and nature of transactions that allegedly raised red flags over many years. Prosecutors contended that senior leadership was repeatedly put on notice about Epstein's reputation and risks, and that the bank nonetheless continued the relationship, providing services that enabled Epstein's operations.The allegations framed Dimon's knowledge as part of a broader institutional failure rather than a single lapse, asserting that information about Epstein circulated within JPMorgan at multiple levels, including among executives responsible for risk and compliance. While Dimon and the bank denied the claims—maintaining that Dimon had no direct awareness of Epstein's crimes at the time—the USVI argued that the evidence showed a sustained pattern of warnings ignored or minimized. The dispute became central to the territory's civil case against the bank, sharpening questions about executive accountability and whether Epstein's abuse could have been curtailed had financial institutions acted sooner on what they allegedly knew.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Prince Andrew was not covered by Jeffrey Epstein's 2007–2008 federal Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA), a point that has repeatedly been misunderstood or deliberately obscured. Legal experts have emphasized that the NPA applied narrowly to Epstein himself and, at most, to unnamed U.S.-based co-conspirators under specific jurisdictional limits tied to the Southern District of Florida. Prince Andrew, a British national with alleged conduct occurring outside that jurisdiction—including in the United Kingdom, New York, and the U.S. Virgin Islands—fell entirely outside the agreement's scope. Courts later made clear that the NPA did not grant immunity to foreign nationals, did not bind other federal districts, and did not preempt civil or criminal exposure beyond the deal's precise terms.That legal reality became especially clear during Virginia Giuffre's civil case against Prince Andrew, where judges rejected arguments that Epstein's plea deal insulated Andrew from liability. The settlement Andrew ultimately reached was not a function of legal protection under the NPA, but rather a strategic move to avoid sworn testimony, discovery, and the risk of trial. Attorneys and legal analysts have noted that Andrew's long period of effective insulation stemmed from political deference, diplomatic sensitivity, and institutional hesitation—not from any binding legal shield in Epstein's agreement. In short, Andrew was never legally protected by the Epstein NPA; he was protected by silence, delay, and power, none of which carried the force of law.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In 2023, The New York Times filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority after the agency refused to release records related to Jeffrey Epstein and the substantial tax benefits he received while living in the territory. The Times sought documents detailing Epstein's participation in the USVI's Economic Development Commission program, which granted him sweeping tax exemptions and incentives for years, even after serious allegations about his conduct were known. The lawsuit argued that the EDA improperly withheld public records that could shed light on how Epstein was vetted, approved, and allowed to retain those benefits.The legal action highlighted broader questions about government transparency and accountability in the Virgin Islands, where officials have faced criticism for enabling Epstein's financial operations while failing to intervene in his criminal behavior. The EDA contended that some records were protected by confidentiality provisions, but the Times countered that public interest outweighed those claims, particularly given Epstein's role in one of the most significant sex-trafficking scandals in modern history. The lawsuit became part of a wider effort by journalists and investigators to uncover how Epstein leveraged government programs and institutional secrecy to protect his wealth—and how local authorities handled warnings that, in hindsight, should have triggered far greater scrutiny.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In September 2023, a federal judge in Manhattan granted former JPMorgan executive Jes Staley permission to depose one of the unnamed Jeffrey Epstein accusers who had sued JPMorgan Chase & Co. alleging the bank benefited from Epstein's crimes. The ruling allowed Staley's legal team to question the woman—identified in filings only as Jane Doe—in person in the city where she lives, despite her previously expressed concerns about facing what her attorneys described as potentially intrusive questioning. This order came in the context of a broader settlement between JPMorgan and Epstein's victims, and situated within the ongoing pretrial litigation over the bank's liability and Staley's role in the bank's relationship with Epstein.The judge's decision followed arguments from Staley's lawyers that questioning the accuser was necessary to challenge key factual assertions about what she knew and when, which bear on claims against Staley personally in JPMorgan's third-party complaint. Staley's request was distinct from and in addition to his own scheduled deposition in the broader litigation involving the U.S. Virgin Islands and other plaintiffs, and the judge's order set logistical parameters for how that deposition of the accuser would be conducted before fact discovery closed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Celebrate the holidays with us with a throwback episode as we open a window onto a season where streets become stages, kitchens turn into archives, and every drumbeat and carol carries a story. From the clatter of cowbells in Nassau to the smoky crackle of a roast pig on Christmas Eve, the region's holidays reveal how history lives in sound, taste, and togetherness. We start with the pulse of festival culture: Junkanoo's lavish costumes and goatskin drums marching down Bay Street in the Bahamas, and the Boxing Day launches in the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Kitts and Nevis, Belize, and Montserrat. Each celebration stitches heritage to the present—months of planning, bursts of creativity, and a shared promise to meet at dawn. Then we head to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where Nine Mornings wakes neighborhoods at 4 a.m. with concerts and games, culminating in a joyful jump up that proves community thrives when people gather before sunrise.Our journey continues into homes and churches. In Suriname, Godo Pa—Dearest Daddy—arrives on December 6 with gifts and poems, a post-independence figure who replaces Old World icons with a reflection of local identity. Across the Spanish Caribbean, Noche Buena brings families to the table for lechón, yuca, and music that lasts late into Christmas Eve, while Three Kings Day keeps the season open into January as children leave grass and water for the camels and wake to gifts beneath the bed. These customs hold the region's layered past while nurturing the joy that keeps people close. No Caribbean holiday is complete without music. Parang bands roam neighborhoods in Grenada, and parang-soca lights up Trinidad and Tobago with door-to-door harmonies. We share favorites—from Scrunter's Christmas classics and Bindley B's celebratory anthems to Carlene Davis's reggae carols—curating a playlist that can transform a winter commute into a warm-weather fête. By the end, you'll hear how a festival becomes a bridge, how a song becomes a keepsake, and how a meal becomes a map back home.Press play, share your family tradition, and tell us the holiday song you return to every year.
