Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We have a big extended show today. We're going to have a full breakdown of the latest in the Nancy Guthrie case coming up in two hours. But we are devoting the live portion, the first two hours of our live portion, to the Epstein files. There's been so much happening as a result of these documents that were released a few weeks back. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced over the weekend, just this past weekend, that the required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which President Trump signed into law just a few months ago on November 19th. There have been questions about whether that's true. She says it is. In total, there are more than 3.5 million pages of documents, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images in the latest dump.
You can search them for yourself on justice.gov slash Epstein, which we've been doing here as a team for the past week. Basically, every celebrity or public figure you can think of comes up in this search. And you have to be very careful, very careful about it, because what the FBI did originally or what the DOJ did when they released this was they released a whole list of complaints received by the FBI about just anybody. So like anybody who could have called up during the Trump presidency and been like, Trump raped me. And they would put that down. It would be listed in the FBI database of complaints about various people. You'd have to say it happened at Epstein's Mansion or what have you. And it'd be in there.
And they released that like it was real. And people were going with it all over the internet.
What are the key revelations from the Epstein Files?
It was like, okay, we've really gone too far on releasing every document. But that's what the law required. That's what they did. And, you know, there were irresponsible people who took all of those complaints like they were real. Even the ones that said, not credible, not credible, not credible, not credible. and that's unfortunate. But there is a lot of very interesting stuff in here. As I say, it's going to take years to go through all of this. We could still be getting major revelations for months, and we will follow up when and if we do. But from what we have seen so far, these documents do provide a window into the global elite and how they behave when they think no one's watching. It's really not great.
It's not great at all. Here's the Daily Podcast last week.
Do these new documents shed any light on the question of whether or not Jeffrey Epstein ran a pedophilic ring that trafficked underage girls to those around him?
In short, the answer is no. Basically, the 14 and 15 and 16-year-old girls that we've heard about were largely recruited for him.
But what's important to understand, again, the first time he went to jail in the mid-late 2000s, it's on charges that he is soliciting underage girls to get massages. And when he gets out of jail, he appears to change tactics. He seems to decide he's going to be more careful about the law. What we see is a form of trafficking after he gets out of prison that relies mostly on women who were a bit older, 18, 19-year-old women from Eastern Europe than the victims we know about from before he died.
I mean, they were a bit older, but they were still equally vulnerable in a different way with a different legal definition.
All right. So that's interesting. That was The New York Times doing its deep dive in a podcast that I actually found very helpful. And they're saying there's just no evidence in here of a pedophile ring. And they point out in that same podcast that there was even... A prosecution memo that was contained in the latest batch of documents where the prosecutor said what they looked at and what they did not find was evidence of a pedophile ring, though they did look. And they did find 14, 15 and 16 year old girls that were recruited for Epstein, not for a web of friends, but for Epstein prior to his initial plea deal. OK, prior to the initial plea deal that he struck in 2008 when Dershowitz was his lawyer.
