1007 - A Guy Who Never Dies feat. David J. Roth (2/3/26)

David Roth returns to talk about the newest avalanche of Epstein files and what they tell us about the depravity of our elites and the West as a whole. We run through a gauntlet of incriminating emails with Larry Summers, Peter Mandelson, Peter Attia, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and more. Then, to lighten the mood, we talk about a profile of Woah Nancy and her poor staffers, plus a tip about Marie Concentrationcamp Perez.

I’m not sure this makes sense, but someone suggested the = in all the emails was an error from optical character recognition? I’m not sure why emails would be getting scanned. But they do things stupidly a lot so maaaybe (like redacting in adobe acrobat but you could still copy paste it)

The = keys and random characters in the emails are from email formatting when downloaded/recovered that gets put into the messages, it wasn't typed that way. Seen tons of people mentioning them.

d
dmark · February 4, 2026

The random equals signs in the Epstein files are because the DOJ half assedly converted the emails (which aren’t plain text so there are some random instances with character rendering errors resulting in equals signs)

After that “and have 99% of my brainpower left over” remark, what Elon meant was he watches a split screen of family guy clips and subway surfer on a big iPad but he thinks he’s controlling subway surfer with his mind.

Sweet summer children, just cos Bannon *said* he had all that footage for a future documentary he claimed to be making, it doesn't mean he was, lol. Has he made any documentaries before? Will he make any since? He could've finished this alleged documentary years ago too. He ain't an honest man fellas, and he only said that after lots of pressure as response to everyone asking him why he was so buddy with and had so much video of Jepstein lol

I don't understand the hate on Bluesky. I follow lots of leftists and other really great people and I don't have to be on the pedo site owned by Elon where the first 100 replies to a post are all explicitly racist.

As they said “many such cases.” Lots of Gen X people like the idea of being radical and contrarian and have found that by being anti-anti-Trump and anti-anti-Israel. Which, inevitably leads to being anti-anti-pedophile.

What can you even say at this point? Nobody is going to believe us when we say Epstein was just a retarded loser that wanted to be the Howard Hughes of pedophilia and medical science and in context there’s thousands of other emails where Epstein is throwing out some crazy scientific idea for the sake of his own perversions or others’ perception of him. A declassified email where one of the most prolific elite child sex traffickers in history talks about pandemic simulations with bill gates or offers ideas for genetically feminizing men is just such a terrible look lmao

M
Michael S. Judge · February 4, 2026

he is slowly consumed by his Puerto Rican Reddit identity, his pants keep getting tighter and shorter, and one day, Nancy barges into the Posting Room with 2 bottles, kicking her shoes off so hard that the right one cracks a window and the left one knocks a Crate & Barrel dome light off the ceiling, because he's leaving Youtube links in the comments and forgot to turn down the speakers, so he's fucking BLASTING "Suavamente"

M
Michael S. Judge · February 4, 2026

And now that we have what's probably a firsthand description of what Leon Black did *from his victim*, we get a sense of scale: somebody at Apollo says, "Hey, I just noticed we've still got that freelance account for 'tax advice' open.

I'm calling it now: in a few years libs will be going on about how "the Epstein cancellation stuff went too far" while the right will have fully normalized cis men doing child sex abuse out in the open. I mean, the right basically is already doing that rn, so "a few years" may be too generous a timescale here. And the rest of us will be hearing about how, like, a DSA member won a seat on the Peoria city council and this changes everything just keep supporting the Democrats. This shit going public while we lack *any* political movement willing to go after the abusers is only going to embolden them and normalize the abuse even more than it already is. This country has nowhere to go but down, into an abyss so dark we'll never find our way out. Not that it was a particularly nice place before. But the future has so much to show you.

idk I have a lot of sympathy for the Epstein shit but you really start to lose me when you posit that a bunch of Wall Street vampires needed his input before implementing some new type of enshittification monetization scheme. This is just not a very marxist material analysis thing of you to say

if you're talking specifically about microtransactions, Team Fortress 2 went free to play based on hat revenue in 2011 and the emails mentioned with Kotick are timestamped 2013 so on its face it's categorical that Mr. E did not introduce the concept to team Call of Duty. Oblivion Horse Armor dates from 2006 anyways

the supreme irony that Mark Ames was writing metaphors about the rape of Russia by the West and got accused of litteral rape by people who were basically all Epstein associates

Roth confirming what I, someone who has mostly sought to ignore the Epstein/Maxwell saga for years for my own selfish reasons, already suspected: if you are a type of political adherent who would like to tie Jeffrey Epstein to the FSB, to the SVR, to KGB or hell, even the "not-totally-awesome" factions of the Ukrainian nationalist movement or whomever, your problem is, while you MIGHT be able to do so if you bend your neck and squint hard enough for long enough, you are going to be wadding waist-deep in his openly acknowledged, if embarrassing, political and even intelligence ties to at least four members of NATO (probably five, waiting for the Turkish shoe to drop more convincingly to skeptics like me), alongside the obvious Israeli connection. And there may be a very simple reason for this: American and western shock therapy/civil impoverishment/theft/etc. of the CIS countries, starting with the Russian Federation, may've well suited that type of centrist big-tent electable autocrat (your Shushkevichans, your Kuchmians, and yes your Yeltsinites), especially when they were running for elections against, say, resurgent communists (or in the Russian Federation, encircling communists in the houses of parliament and firing at them with T-80U tanks), this isn't in fact a sustainable political arrangement over a decade or two. At some point, if their successors decide they do, in fact, what to exercise some degree of regional hegemony (like Yeltsin's successors eventually did), they're going to have to realize, they might have to give up the awesome access to the New York City Metropolitan Sex Crime Gala or upset the kooky guy who runs it, even if boils down to such basic calculus as "Okay, well, if generic-oligarchs are going to loot seventy years of Soviet state investment across 300 million persons, they should probably be funneling the proceeds to the rich types in Leningrad Oblast, and not, say, Florida, where I don't get a cut. Also, white slavery on this massive a scale is publicly embarrassing and technically bad for the demographic crisis." It's not really that farfetched to assume Epstein, and his career, would've made him a lot better friends with the rich oligarchs on this side of the Atlantic than on the other. Does that make all those Eurasian rising capitalist cronies fair-weather friends? Possibly. We all have our faults; there are worse ones than, "Failed to go to bat for a rich American sex trafficker because of the time all his friends in NATO, who you stupidly thought might also be your friends, tried to kill your nephew in Damascus with a drone strike." And yes, microtransactions, while very naughty, are not on par with the the ravaging of Eurasia after the dissolution of the USSR. Loot boxes, para-gambling i.e. Counterstrike skin casino, and pre-2018 "harmless" fantasy sports management are/were all discernably closer. So, solid episode. Hope you're feeling better from your cold, Will.

fwiw the explanation i've heard for all the random = signs is that the documents were digitally converted from one format to another and it's some kind of character recognition artifact. like his spelling is still dogshit but even so i don't think he was just randomly hitting = two or three times per sentence.
