| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's the creator of the Epstein Files. Before we get into today's episode, I wanted to share a quick note about subscribing to our newsletter. |
| 0:07.9 | What you're listening to is part of the neural broadcast network. We built NBN around one idea, |
| 0:14.1 | source-rich, primary source investigations that cut through the noise. No spin, no agenda, just the raw intelligence. |
| 0:22.0 | We have more IP dropping soon, new shows, new investigations, and newsletter subscribers |
| 0:27.7 | hear about it first. |
| 0:29.3 | Link is at nbn.fm or find it in the description wherever you're listening. |

| 1:38.4 | our database as EFTA 00408121.p.p.D.F. Yes. The Epstein Files Transparency Act release gives us this specific |
| 1:50.2 | internal email string. It is captured directly alongside an IMP server calendar entry. |
| 1:55.6 | And the subject line of that forwarded email is highly specific. It reads, quote, |
| 1:59.2 | FWD requests to use some of my research funds for travel during this academic year. |
