Full transcript with timestamps

0:00 Welcome to the Family Show. I'm Jordan Cleer. Got so much to talk about tonight. King Charles deals with a royal pain in his ass. Howard Lutnik took his family to the world's worst all-inclusive resort. And the Winter Olympics are here. And they're the only thing whiter than that Turning Point halftime show. But first, let's get into the latest Epstein revelations in another installment of the very normal and not shady handling of the Epstein Files. It's pretty boring stuff.

0:35 We are now well into season five of the Epstein Files, and it's not ending anytime soon. Over in England, they've already devoted Prince Andrew down to street urchin Andrew. But the people still want more. Overseas, someone heckled King Charles today because of his brother Andrew's ties to the convicted sex offender and financeier.

1:00 Charles, how long HAVE YOU KNOWN ABOUT ANDREW AND EDEN? Have you been protecting Andrew from prosecution?

1:15 Wow. Wow. The new season of Billy on the Street is dark. And buddy, look, buddy, I got to say, be careful. This is the king you're talking to here. He's got actual knights to protect him. Sir Anthony Hopkins and Sir Elton John are going to you up, man. Meanwhile, over here in America, members of Congress now have special access to the unredacted Epstein files. Although seeing how the redacted files already mentioned Donald Trump thousands of times, I doubt there's going to be anything new about him in the unredacted ones.

1:51 Axios reports that after Congressman Jamie Raskin reviewed the unredacted Epstein files, he said Donald Trump's name appears quote more than a million times.

2:01 Holy a million times. There's not even that many references to Hamlet in the play Hamlet. Now, maybe Raskin is just being hyperbolic, but if this is true, wouldn't it just be easier to call this the Trump Files featuring Jeffrey Epstein? Easier. Rolls off the tongue. I mean, just just just think about the effort it took Trump's Justice Department to redact his name that many times. It's like trying to remove the pee from the water park. At this at this point, you just need to accept that it's in there and try not to think about it.

2:46 But Donald Trump isn't the only member of the administration in the hot seat. So is Howard Lutnik, commerce secretary and dad of a family staying at the White Lotus. Now, a while back, he went on a podcast and he explained how he lived next door to Jeffrey Epstein, went to his house once in 2005, got the ick, and never saw him again. My wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again. A one and absolutely done.

3:20 ONE AND absolutely done. I commend you, Howard, for your moral clarity. I mean, just to be just to be just to be crystal clear, there was no part of you that was even just a a little bit curious about Jeffrey Epstein.

3:36 It's gross. That guy's gross. I'm right with my wife. Like, he's g the guy's gross. HE'S IT'S GROSS. HE'S GROSS. You're right. AND IF A MAN WHO works every day next to Steven Miller thinks you're gross.

3:51 Wow. That is truly saying something. And so with his conscience clear, Secretary Lutnik carried his innocent heart to the Senate this morning to testify on broadband deployment. Senator Van Holland, I see you have a question perhaps about a fiber optic cable.

4:09 Why did the Epstein files show you coordinating a meeting and planning a visit with Jeffrey Epstein on his private island in December 2012? Excuse me, Senator. This is Howard one and done Lutnik you're talking about here. There's no way that 7 years after saying he would never see Epstein again that he visited him on HIS PRIVATE ISLAND. OKAY. HOWIE HOWIE, set this guy straight.

4:40 I did have lunch with him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. Oh Howie YOU'RE BREAKING MY HEART. What was it? All the one and the done and the gross and the gross. Was eating with a sex criminal your only option for lunch hour. You couldn't have tried making a PB&J just once. And and the fact that you went there on a boat makes it so much worse. I mean, if you ran into him at a pot belly and he said, "Sit down." I would understand. But you actively navigated a ship towards the band. You're on there shouting, "Captain, RAISE THE SAILS AND SET A COURSE FOR PEDOPHILE ISLAND."

5:26 HOWARD, LOOK, MAN. I don't think I could be more disappointed in you. My wife was with me, as were my four children and nannies.

5:37 Howard, I went to Epstein Island, but don't worry, I brought my kids. isn't the excuse you think it is. Good God, man. I hate to ask it. I hate it, Howard. I mean, come on. What happened on that island?

5:59 We had lunch on the island. That is true. For an hour and we left with all of my children.

6:10 Father of the year over here. So, just to be clear, Howard Lutnick went from, "I never saw that gross man again." to, "Okay, I did visit his island to," hey, back off. I left with all my kids, okay, I counted them. I'm the good guy here. You know what? Maybe I shouldn't be too harsh on Howard. Let he who has never sworn he cut ties with a convicted sex offender only to later dock his private yacht onto a private sex island for a quick lunch before continuing his family vacation with not one but multiple nannies cast the first one and done.

6:48 I just hope this is the only hero I have who has been miserched by the Epstein files.

6:54 New questions tonight about former Montana State professor and paleontologist Jack her, the scientist who helped inspire Jurassic Park. OH, JACK, NOT YOU. LITTLE JACK HER, TELL ME YOU JUST SAT IN THAT CORNER. In emails released from 2012, her thanks Epstein and the girls for hosting him at the finance year's New Mexico ranch. He describes the property's geology, even mentioning its potential for fossils. All right. All right. Okay. You know what? You know what? Let's not jump to conclusions here. Maybe Jack was just there for fossils. EPSTEIN ASKED ME TO GO TO THE BONE ZONE. I THOUGHT HE MEANT SOMETHING ELSE. MAYBE, MAYBE, MAYBE, MAYBE. You know, and I and I hope it was just fossils because it would be so sad if we can't even trust paleontologists not to be pedophiles now. You're supposed to be into really, really old stuff. That's like literally your whole thing.

7:56 So, we don't know if this guy was getting his own fossil dusted while he was there, but but but don't make it You're making you're making it dirty, but but let me remind you that this is not the only connection Epstein had to dinosaurs. Nor is it the weirdest.

8:18 Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined Epstein and his co-conspirator Galain Maxwell on a trip to North Dakota with a paleontologist on the search for dinosaur fossils.

8:32 That is probably the most RFK way you could be in the Epstein files. RFK is such a weird guy. I actually do believe he would have called Epstein and said, "I don't want to come to the sex party, but call me if you want to dig up dino bones." Also, don't wear condoms. They give your penis autism. Just Okay. So, okay. So, now, now the question is, how will the fossil hunting community respond to these revelations?

9:08 The paleontology convention, Dinocon, has announced they are banning anyone with ties to Jeffrey Epstein from attending their events.

9:18 WHOA. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. That's right, everybody. Finally, some accountability at Dino Con. Just like we've always demanded. Our pedophilic ruling elite may stalk the halls of power, but they will never stalk the hallways of the Birmingham Hilton with a full weekend pass. Bronosaurus breakfast included. For more on the latest Epstein Fallout, we go live to the Natural History Museum with Ronnie Chang. RONNIE,

9:56 RONNIE, how's the paleontology community responding to all this? Not great, Jordan. People are pissed. I mean, we knew there were perverts in finance entertainment tech calligraphy, organic pet food, and like 400 other industries, but dinosaurs They were the most beloved creature on earth until today. Shame on you. You pervasaurus. WHO ARE YOU PROTECTING?

10:25 WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WAIT, WAIT. RONNIE, RONNIE, a paleontologist was in the files, not the dinosaurs. What? Why are you yelling at them?

10:33 Well, I saw that guy in England heckling the king, and I I thought, you know what? That's what we got to do here. All right. You You hear that? Your pedosaurus. WHAT DID YOU KNOW? WHAT DID YOU KNOW,

10:45 RONNIE? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Those dinosaurs are all dead. Yeah. Yeah, they are. And so is Jeffrey Epstein. You see what I'm saying? Coincidence? Look, I don't trust these dirty bony creeps, Jordan. I mean, why is the T-Rex have those little pervy arms? Huh? What? So he can grab little boy's dicks? Hey, go back to Pangia, you sick.

11:15 Why would a dinosaur evolve to grab little boy dicks? Jonah, life finds a way. Okay,

11:23 this is insane. This is an insane thing to do. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, you sound exactly like the security guards here. Okay. Oh, you're ruining all the field trips. Shut up.

11:33 Look, just because a paleontologist has been named in the files, that doesn't mean dinosaurs are somehow involved. Jordan, stop making excuses for them. All right, look at this one over here. You see that? He's got three dildos on his head. SHAME ON YOU, YOU SICK.

11:52 I I I don't think those are dildos. Oh, yeah. Then why do they fit perfectly my ass? Answer me that, Jonah. I'm just asking questions here, okay? Like, has anyone considered why does T-Rex sounds so much the teen Why does T-Rex sound so much like TEEN SEX? HUH? Anybody think of that? And seriously, why do T-Rexes have those little pervy arms? What What's he doing? Is he trying to write an email TO JEFFREY EPSTEIN?

12:28 OH, LOOK, LOOK, there's a lot we don't know about Jeffrey Epstein, but it's it's safe to say he was not working with creatures that went extinct 65 million years ago. Okay, look. Well, someone needs to be screamed at. And I can't get near Trump or Clinton or Bill Gates. And trust me, I've been trying to yell at Bill Gates for years. Okay, my wireless printer only works half the time. You sick. You printer needs a static IP address. You know, I'll explain that later. But the point remains, there are real people that need to be held accountable. We need to put pressure on the Justice Department to give us the truth, not dinosaurs.

13:05 Jordan. Yeah. You Yeah. You You think the Trump Justice Department is going to give us the truth? You sound crazy, dude. And that's coming from a guy with a triceratops horn up his ass. It It It's still there. I've been TELLING YOU THE PERVERTS. GET THAT TAKEN care of. Ronnie Chang, everyone.
