00:00I want you to imagine that they've since grown up, and one day you find their name and all of
00:05their identifying information in the Epstein files, alongside intimate, horrific details about their lives, sexual abuse, and trafficking.
00:17And maybe you even find a nude picture, find who's responsible for the crimes themselves, only to find that the
00:21perpetrator's names have all been redacted.
00:23This time, it isn't a monster pedophile who is doing the exploiting, but our very own government.
00:30We are not here as political figures. We are only human. Our only agenda is accountability.
00:36And the DOJ needs to do its job. Give us the rest of the files and start the investigations.
00:43Start the investigations on the things that are in the files right now.
00:46Why is the FBI director out there partying like a college kid when he should be investigating the vast criminal
00:54enterprise?
00:55How can anybody feel safe in this country when our president's sympathies are going to the former Prince Andrew and
01:02not to survivors?
01:03Hi, everyone. I'm Dani Benski, and I am an Epstein Maxwell survivor from 2004 to 2005.
01:09The last time I was in D.C., I asked everyone to close their eyes and think of a teenager
01:14that was close to you.
01:15I asked you to make it personal.
01:18Thinking of your child, your sibling, your mother, or you even at an early age.
01:23I asked you to visualize that teenager at the door of Jeffrey Epstein's mansion, and I asked you if you
01:28would let them enter.
01:30Well, now, I want you to visualize something else.
01:32I want you to think of that same 14 to 18-year-old.
01:36I want you to imagine that they've since grown up, and one day you find their name and all of
01:42their identifying information in the Epstein files alongside intimate, horrific details about their lives, sexual abuse, and trafficking.
01:55You look further, and maybe you even find a nude picture.
01:59You try to understand who could be responsible for these crimes, or try to find who's responsible for the crimes
02:05themselves, only to find that the perpetrator's names have all been redacted.
02:09As you read on and take in all the heinous acts, you begin to see how the system repeatedly failed.
02:16Realizing that it was hard enough to endure the abuse, you begin to understand the endless re-traumatization.
02:23This time, it isn't a monster pedophile who is doing the exploiting, but our very own government.
02:30I dare to say that everyone knows a survivor, a survivor of assault or abuse.
02:34My ask is that you keep this personal.
02:38We are not here as political figures.
02:40We are only human.
02:42Our only agenda is accountability.
02:44We owe it to our former selves.
02:46We owe it to the next generation, and we also owe it to those of the past.
02:50We need to believe women who bravely step forward like Maria Farmer did in 1996.
02:54We need to pass Virginia's law to eliminate the statute of limitations.
02:58We need survivors to be taken seriously.
03:01There should never be a time limit on justice, and the DOJ needs to do its job.
03:08Give us the rest of the files and start the investigations.
03:12Start the investigations on the things that are in the files right now.
03:17During my time with Jeffrey, I was always amazed that he could make you feel so special,
03:23like you were the only one in the room, and then treat you like an absolute piece of trash and
03:27throw you away.
03:28We will not be silenced and thrown away this time.
03:34Thank you, Senator Schemer.
03:36I just have to, like, lower this.
03:39So, I'm an Epstein survivor from 2004, 2005.
03:44I was 17 years old when I met Jeffrey Epstein.
03:47Back then, I was a teenager, but I was really a child.
03:50I was looking for an adult to help protect me from what felt like monsters,
03:55only to find that the monster was him all along.
04:00Now, I look to the government for help, and they're no better, gaslighting and manipulating victims the same tactics as
04:08Jeffrey and Guilin.
04:10The DOJ assures us that they're focused on our safety, but only to exploit us further.
04:16There are two cases happening here, two cases of abuse.
04:21The first case is one that we endured while we were ensnared in the largest sex trafficking ring that this
04:28country has known to date.
04:29And the second is the abuse of our government.
04:33They're covering everything up and protecting power, not the young and the vulnerable.
04:39As we prepare to attend the State of the Union, survivors and this country have so many questions that need
04:46to be answered.
04:47The first one is, where are the rest of the files?
04:52The truth must come out.
04:58Why are there no investigations when there are plenty of people in these files to investigate?
05:03Have we read them?
05:04Why is the FBI director out there partying like a college kid when he should be investigating the vast criminal
05:12enterprise?
05:15This administration needs to do better.
05:18How can anybody feel safe in this country when our president's sympathies are going to the former Prince Andrew and
05:25not to survivors?
05:28There are a few things that really need to be done immediately.
05:32First is the release of all of the files, which we know.
05:35Next is to hold accountable those who continuously exploit.
05:39And the third is to pass Virginia's bill.
05:42We need to pass Virginia's bill because justice should never, ever expire.
05:48Release the damn files.
05:50Well done, Danny.
