Hello everyone, happy Monday. It is that time again. It is True Crime Rundown here at I Think Not, where we give you all the headlines in true crime for the week, although today we're focusing on one big one. We are your hosts. I'm

Joey Taranto, and across from me is a Ponky Boobster. Punky Boobster, Ellen Marie Marsh. How you

doing? I'm here. I'm alive. That's it. How are you doing, Mello? I'm good. Technically, it's

Friday, but this gets released on Monday. As this is being released, I'm at Disneyland. Excellent. Before we jump in, did you see the 50 cent commercial for DoorDash? I did. Is that airing during the halftime show? I don't know. What do I look like? Google? It's about all of his beefs. It is absolutely hilarious. I don't know if 50 paid DoorDash or DoorDash paid him. It could be either, honestly. I mean, does 50 cent need any more money? Isn't he like a gazillionaire? He really is. Because of that vitamin water. Today on the rundown, we are going to be doing something a little different. We're not going to bring you a bunch of headlines that we're following. We just got to talk about this one because,

well, we have to. Yeah, today we're going to be covering the Epstein files. As you all know, we got a huge release. It's not even all of it, right? It's like half. It's a quarter. There's like nine million documents and we got three million of them. Yes. And they're all heavily redacted. I was going to say so much is redacted, including emails. They're like, well, we're protecting the victims. I'm like, well, you're protecting the victims by protecting the sender of that email who is saying disgustingly, horribly graphic things about a child. You're redacting their emails. You're protecting them. Make it make sense? No, they're completely protecting the perps.

Before we start, I just want to say, if you are listening right now and you're one of those people who don't think that politics has a place in true crime, and if you think talking about the Epstein files is political, this was a crime.

Oh, yeah. It was a lot of crimes. It was a crime of sex trafficking

at minimum. It has nothing to do with politics, although I would love to see what the protect

the children from the drag queens and the trans people have to say about it. This is crime.

This is many crimes done by many people. I will say some people

need to be protected from drag queens because I've seen a drag queen fight and if you run your mouth,

you might need to be protected from them. But otherwise, it's a lot. And also like the U.S.

is response versus the rest of the world's response. We'll get into that. Also, there's a couple

things that I'm seeing online that I want to address specifically around rumors. I think it's important to stick to what we

know and stick to the facts. It's like a rumor smoothie. Just take a little bit of this rumor, a little bit of that rumor, and we're going to make a smoothie out of it. Would you like to start, my love. Great. So here's what I want to say. So we have... Just kidding. Go ahead. Go ahead, honey.

I stayed up till 4 a.m. the... Just kidding. Go ahead. Go ahead, honey.

I stayed up till 4 a.m. the other night going through these files.

I need you all to know the time that they took to redact what we can only assume to be powerful men.

But they failed to redact several victims' names. About 43 as it stands now, but we're all sifting through these files and people are sharing information. Beyond their names, they failed to fully redact some nude photos of children. Some have been taken down, but they were out there. Don't worry, everyone. It's fine.

The DOJ will explain, okay? Give them a minute. A spokesperson from the DOJ said, quote,

We take victims protection very seriously and have redacted thousands of victims' name in the millions of published pages to protect

the innocent. To date, 0.1% of released pages have been found to have victim identifying information
