We thought the president, the Attorney General, the FBI director, the Speaker of the House, and the Vice president to get this win, but they never They're on our side.

Today, though, so let's give them some credit as well.

They are finally on the side of justice.

And as Roe said, don't muck it up in the Senate.

Don't get too cute.

We're all paying attention.

If you want to add some additional protections for these survivors, go for it.

But if you do anything that prevents any disclosure, you are not for the people and you are not part of this effort.

Do not muck it up in the Senate.

Hi, this is a cold welcome to my Ricochet podcast.

It'll be linked on my substack and culter at subsack dot com.

I thought i'd start though this isn't one of my stories, but this is the big news this week, and that is Trump's massive defeat at the hands of Representative Thomas Massey, whom I have have an interview with on my subject this week.

You people have got to get away from the Trump deification syndrome.

He's really great, he loves his country.

It's weird that what sets Trump apart from the entire Democratic Party and the establishment of Republican Party.

Is doesn't hate America, and I admit that's fantastic.

I love that he's doing so much great stuff because he doesn't hate our country.

But calling this a hoax the release of the Epstein documents, for Pete's sake, It's been twenty years since the Palm Beach police first broke this massive pedophile ring involving the rich and the powerful, and the rich and the powerful are still winning.

They're still winning.

They're still As I described my podcast last week, I think part of this is because Trump has seen the way he has mentioned, which a normal person would take as a mark of honor.

It's Epstein denouncing him constantly, obsessively denouncing Trump obviously does not actually have anything on him.

But I've not, as some people pointed out to my last podcast on that point, I have not abandoned the idea that he is doing it to help some of his donors who are probably on the blackmail list.

So anyway, that passed every single number of Congress but one, Clay Higgins really like him.

I asked Representative Massey about him, and Massey defended him.

One more quick thing.

I saw the mean going after Clay Higgins said, check that guy's hard drive.

I'm going to tell you I think Clay Higgins probably has the cleanest hard drive of any member of Congress if he took that vote right.

I'm not buying it, at least on this vote, though I still love Clay Higgins.

Sometimes sometimes consistency isn't the most important issue.

In fact, that's something that's always written me crazy about the Republican Party flip flop when you need to.

Nobody says, oh, I'm voting for this guy because he's so consistent.

That's what I like about this consistency.

That's what I'm looking for.

Nobody cares about consistency just about the right way in any way.

Event what everyone's worried about.

This is an actual law.

It was written extremely well.

Representative Thomas Massey, fourth distruct of Kentucky is very smart.

He's been pushing this for what four or five months with a Democrat Roe Conna, and there really isn't much much wiggle room for Pam Bondy, the Attorney General.

I go through the exemptions that she is going to try to drive a truck through.

I suspect one is the privacy of the victims, that the wanton exposure of the privacy of the victims.

Information can be withheld to avoid that, but that is the victims.

No depictions of physical abuse.

Well, okay, all of this is physical abuse in some sense, isn't it.

We're only protecting the girls.

You don't have to show the physical abuse of the girls.

Blur them, show the purpose privacy of the victims.

Blur, blurre, blurre the girls faces.

Want to see the purpse faces in clear, clear, multi pixel pictures.

The other big exemption people are worried about is the ongoing investigation, because that's Trump's in systems.

Ag Bondi has announced investigations or sort of the preliminary thought of an investigation into I guess three or four Democrats who had relationships with with Epstein, some of whom have been to Epstein Island.

Something else I discussed with Thomas Massey this week, such as Larry Summers.

Larry Summer's appearance in the Epstein emails is the most embarrassing public humiliation I have seen in my entire life.

So if you haven't, if you haven't looked into it, definitely look that one.

Not and check out my column this week at Anncolder dot com, as well as my substack Unsafe Substack and the interview I have with Thomas Massey, which is fantastic.

He is very good even when I disagree with him.

So my first officials for you is a disastrous female police officer.

How many of these incompetence do we have to keep putting up with?

Amazing New York Times article?

I believe this was, you know, page eighteen d lower corner.

Anyway, the title is I may be lying about that an officer bungled a teen rape case.

The victim was abused again, the investigator who did not believe the teen faced little punishment, illustrating the different ways that officers in New York State are disciplined for misconduct.

Okay, so everyone, every New York Times reader seeing that is thinking, oh, see, men, they never believe the women, They never believe them.

Probably another white man.

And in fact, if you don't actually read down to paragraph eight in the article, if you don't actually read the article and just look at the photos, they're photos of two white men.

Accompanying this article.

Officer bungled teen rape case, the victim was abused, again two white men.

One, upon actually reading the article you will find out is the d E DA District attorney who discovered this incompetent female's utter incompetence and the fact that she hid evidence against herself when he was investigating her in competence.

The other white male is admittedly her boss, who did not discipline her sufficiently.

But I'm thinking, really a picture of her would be more appropriate for this article.

Now listen to listen to the utter, shocking incompetence here.

This is in some place in upstate New York, Yates County.

November seventeen, the article ran.

A teenage girl came forward in May twenty twenty three with a horrifying complaint her adoptive father had been raping her since twenty twenty one.

She told police officers in an interview at her school.

The abuse started when she was thirteen.

The teen was removed from the home and the case was assigned to TUDA.

Megan Moreuse, an investigator in the Yates County Sheriff's Office who had met the girl at the school.

The case was among the most serious of the year.

Yeah, no kidding.

Investigator Morehouse did not believe the team She said as much in a conversation with a colleague that she accidentally recorded.

She actually recorded herself.

She recorded her utter, shocking, repellent incompetence.

She did not take basic investigative steps recommended by Tom Cassella, the Yates County District Attorney.

He's the one who's been on her tail and aggressively pursuing this case on behalf of the victim who consulted on the investigation.

She did not obtain search warrants to access the father's phone or to search the home where half a dozen or so children lived.

The teen said the abuse had occurred in the bedroom, in the garage, among other places.

What she didn't do is the very essence of what it is to be a police officer, Mister Cassella said.

Morehouse didn't respawn to The New York Times.

Almost two months after the girl spoke out, the county's Child Protective Service is sent her back home, where she was teased, yelled at, called a liar, and blamed for breaking up the family, according to a court filing, And she continued to be sexually assaulted by her adoptive father.

So that's fantastic.

When the teen came forward again.

In November twenty three, mister Cassella, the DA asked that the case be turned over to the state police.

The father was charged with abusing the teen and two foster children.

He pleaded guilty in September twenty twenty five to a felony sexual assault charge involving a child, satisfying all the charges against him.

Mister Cassella said footnote on two points that we've covered just now.

One is I am so much more likely to believe adoptive father and stepfather would abuse a child.

That was one of the stunning things about Virginia Jeffery's book.

I start off very, very very skeptical that a biological father would ever molest his own daughter.

The ever evidence that is backed up by witnesses and court records for everything, for everything that Virginia Jeffer says, makes me think we have one of those very rare cases.

I think biological father actually lesting's own jobs.

The other thing is, in this case, back to Crack police investigator Megan Morehouse, people who are falsely accused of child rape will never ever ever strike a plea, no matter what they are offered, no matter how little little jail time.

No matter how what the s flap on the wrist will be.

Someone who is innocent of child molestation will never admit to it for any benefit.

He admitted to it.

Pled guilty.

Okay, we'll skim down.

We got a bunch of other cases, more House bungled, leading to the idiocy in the child rape case.

Okay, this was this was one of the one of the sort of glaring error's Officer morehousemaid Morehouse interviewed other children in the teen's home where the abuse allegedly occurred, and in front of the mother, who denied the allegations.

She wrote in a police report that the children, both foster and biological quote, appeared to possibly have been coached.

She actually wrote that down.

She wrote down that the mother would not permit the children to speak to her alone, and now we have this.

At one point, investigator Morehouse asked the teen if she had written a letter that recanted the allegations.

No, the teen responded.

Investigator Morehouse wrote in her report that the teen's mother quote made a noise and said, it's in your handwriting, isn't it.

The teen then changed her answer to yeah officials that the agency understood that investigator Morehouse did not believe the allegations the complaints.

That yeah, because she recorded herself saying that.

But when thanks to Da Cassella, when state police took over the investigation, abuse became a parent.

Other children in the home described witnessing instances of physical abuse and inappropriate touching to Stay police officers and the District Attorney's office.

Court filings show, so thank you, Da Cassella.

Looks like men do believe the women, and sometimes it's women.

Incompetent police officer at ladies not believing the women is really a shocking case of incompetence.

And incidentally, in an interview I did with Intercollegiate Studies Institute, which may be online by now, I revealed one of the three things Mickey Cows used to keep a list of things that I wouldn't say out loud.

I forget what the other two were.

I probably, in a moment of haste annoyance, just blurted them out.

But the one I don't think i'd said out loud was whether guilty or innocent of a crime, I would like to be tried by a jury of all white men.

And I'm thinking this case is really bad me up on that.

My second story, They're going to be shorter from here on out.

Another DEI disaster.

San Francisco Mayor.

This is Mayor Daniel Lurie has first major error with embarrassing appointment.

Mayor Daniel Lurie has enjoyed strong approval ratings this year, but residents were dismayed after you appointed a city super supervisor who quickly resigned after revelations emerged the residents of the district, they're really upset about the the prior supervisor on I don't know housing or something.

So he appoints a new supervisor and she has to resign after seven days in office.

See if you can guess what the error was in the appointment.

A week after, mister Laurie appointed a political neophyte, Bea al Kaaraz twenty nine to represent the Sunset Districts on the Board of Supervisors.

She stepped down Thursday night amid a host of allegations about her past business practices.

She was accused of leaving a pet store that she owned in the Sunset District in shambles, and suggested in text messages that she had cheated on her taxes.

She, like Officer Morehouse, could not be reached for comment.

It was considered the biggest misstep of mister Lurie's ten month tenure.

The embarrassing resignation left constituents and political leaders wondering how he could have appointed someone so inexperienced without a more thorough vetting.

Well, let's look at his vetting process.

First, there's a picture actually relevant to the article this time of the mayor standing with his team, and in the front row we got two Asian men and four women.

Three of the women are minorities, an Asianist and a Hispanic, and a third who isn't clear.

And I think there is then one other no that was That was the entire That's the entire front row.

So I'm already getting sort of suspicious of how he picked.

He picked mis al Caraz.

He found Miss al Kiraz, a political unknown when she approached him at a street festival shortly after the recall of mister Nguardio and told him that she wanted the job and gave him her phone number.

So that's it.

The vetting was, hey, you look hispanic.

My third story this week black Men shot two and show one case killed two well known figures from the world of sports this week.

I didn't see this Netflix show, but apparently it was a huge hit.

The football coach from Netflix's quote Last Chance You dies after being shot John Beam was apparently this beloved coach who would take care of his underprivileged players.

Maybe he seems to have a very big heart in anyone event, he was the one who was shot fatally, very sad.

He was shot at Laney College in Oakland, California, where he was athletic director.

A man, a black man, was charged in connection with the shooting.

John Beam, reading from the Articlayer, a mainstream stream of the football coaching ranks in the East Bay who was profiled in the Netflix series Last Chance You, died on Friday, one day after being targeted in a shooting at Laney College.

The Oakland Police Department of this is in Oakland California identified the gunman on Friday as Siedric Irving Junior.

Okay, The update a few days later is this is latest update.

A motive has not been disclosed, though a law enforcement source told k TVU that Irving that's serving said Siedric Irving Junior a beam of using quote witchcraft on him, though that detail wasn't fully explained.

Also in New York City, which is about to get so great under the Communist Muslim there was a Jets player shot and ended up in the hospital in critical condition.

We'll see what happens with that.

The Jets player Chris Boyd.

Boyd was shot in the abdomen outside a Manhattan nightclub.

Sources said the shooting is believed to have stemmed from words exchange between Boyd, who was with two other Jets players and a friends at the nightclub saw Less, and another group chirping about their clothing.

Sources said New York Jets player Blah Blah Blah remains hospitalized critical condition.

On Boyd and his group decided to leave, they encountered the same group of men began to verbally insult them question their clothing, asking if they think they're quote they're better than us.

Only on Wednesday did the football player start to breathe on his own.

So, as far as I know that, as of right now, they caught the suspect yet, but they showed his picture.

So Black Lives Matter is working out great for black people and the world of sports.

Perhaps that will wake up the mom dommy voters.

My fourth story for you is you're never gonna believe this.

The Louver thieves, you know, the famous museum in Paris, France, two second generation immigrants from Africa.

I know, I know, it's a shocker.

They will not give the African immigrants last names in order to protect their identity, but the first name is Doulay and his last name begins with an inn.

This guy was just a really a model immigrant.

Adulay In's DNA was already in France's large database because of his criminal record, which includes fifteen entries, two for theft.

According to the Chief prosecutor.

Little information has been released, but in one case in two thousand and eight, he rammed the car into an ATM.

Then in twenty fifteen he was convicted of another theft.

His lawyer, by the way, is Dialla al Shaman.

It's just the France I grew up with.

He was born, so of course we refer to him as as you know, native Frenchman.

His father probably makes crapes.

He was born and grew up in albert VILLEI, a suburb that is home to many immigrants and their descendants.

It was there, in the northern outskirts of Paris that he was raised in a large family by parents who had immigrated from West Africa.

So I'm on my fifth story now, Okay, I had a few things to read from.

You've probably seen I hope you're on my sun's to accu scene that I very quickly tweeted out Michael Wolfe, the journalist's emails to Jeffreyppin.

I've always kind of liked Michael Wolfe.

I like someone's writing this was this, Okay, this is the second most embarrassing thing after Larry Summers the suck uperrate in these emails from wolf to Jeffrey Epstein, and then he was producing a book about it.

So the unpublished book, I don't know if it's the whole book, but manuscript the proposal it has been published.

And just listen to a few of these these statements from the unpublished profile of Epstein's His Epstein's conversations are less meeting like focused and agenda driven than narrative.

In effect, the outside world comes to Epstein and he eagerly solicits reports.

It's a real time newspaper or the news you don't read in a newspaper.

Market movements before they occur, the health and eccentricities of world leaders, high level government appointment soon to be announced, dot dot dot.

The question is why, in the face of such disgrace, with the paparazzi so near, the high and mighty still come.

Perhaps it's simply that it's intelligence of a high order, not just market moving information, but Epstein and Summers trying to unravel the conundrum of zero interest rates, or Epstein and non Chomsky on memory and language, or Epstein t k and publishing that means to come Okay, So from every other report, Epstein would use his money to you know, I fly privates all of these great intellectuals from particularly scientific world, fly them in from Harvard and MIT, just so he could hang with them and hold conferences.

And all of the reports on this say that the smart guys would sit at the table look listen to Epstein's moronic, juvenile ramblings and then go about their business so they could talk to one another.

But no, according to Wolfe, it was so higher level genius.

Goodrif.

Okay, I'm just skimming through some more of this suck uppery.

If early in his career he might have seemed like a sort of George Papard.

There's a physical resemblance in Breakfast at Tiffany's not seeing it, Michael not seeing that resemblance at all, And oh, this is interesting.

Epstein became one of the what do you know about him?

Figures in Graydon Carter's that's the editor of Vanity Fair who was accused by Vicky Ward of suppressing the information about the beginning story of the pedophile operation, which Graydon Carter denies anyway, figures in Graydon Carter's Gossip Trail, a story waiting to happen.

Carter once advised me, that's Michael wolf speaking.

Not to go to Epstein's house or accept a ride in his car, lest I risk being blackmailed for what I asked Carter.

You can't even begin to imagine, said Carter.

Okay, so this is from you know, Epstein's most beloved biographer.

But still I'm supposed to believe it wasn't a blackmail operation.

There's a reason people are pushing the idea that it wasn't a blackmail operation so that we won't have to look at which foreign bauer was behind the blackmail.

Who would want blackmail on powerful people in America, especially political figures.

We know that Epstein wasn't making money from his brilliant working of the market, his understanding of the stock mark, his advice to the high and mighty.

No, somebody was funding the mass pedophile ring.

I think it's pretty obvious it's a foreign government.

And the reason anyone who says it wasn't a blackmail operation, despite many many girls describing cameras all over, despite the FBI reports and Pam Bondi describing finding cameras all over as the Palm Beach police did, no, no, no, there were no cameras.

It was just Epstein having sex with the girls.

Nobody else was involved.

Anyone who says that is a shill for the foreign government who was funding Jeffrey Epstein.

My final point on the Embarrassing Wolf Females is quote from unpublished book An insistent playboy.

Excuse me, pedophile in a correct and prudish world, someone who somehow didn't get the memo about fast changes in mores and culture.

Oh, I think it's a little more than that.

Is bringing over thirteen fourteen fifteen year old girls, forcing them into group sex with himself, and delaying for the money because these are runaways that he was looking for girls with financial troubles.

This isn't This isn't a question of the Me Too movement.

No, no, no, no, no, no no.

Even back in the nineties, you weren't supposed to be having statutory are statutorially raping thirteen fourteen fifteen year old girls must much less pushing them into orgies or pushing them on old creepy man.

This isn't me too, This isn't Harvey Weinstein, this isn't Matt Lauer.

I think those cases were kind of bs, but I don't care because I don't like them, and I'm a girl, so I'm unfaired.

But yeah, don't tell me pedophilia is well.

We never would have known without the Me Too movement.

Anyway, that's all my stories for this week.

Thanks Ricochet.
