Speaker 5: But I'm Protestant.

1:10
Speaker 5: behind it perfect.
1:11
Speaker 4: All right, So we got more Jeffrey Epstein news, sure do.
1:15
Speaker 5: Uh.
1:15
Speaker 3: We're going to talk about all of the Jeffrey Epstein
1:18
Speaker 3: news and then we're also going to talk about some
1:19
Speaker 3: new drop site reporting.
1:21
Speaker 4: Uh wild story that I did with mos about how.
1:26
Speaker 3: Jeffrey Epstein and a hub Rock used the Boca Ram
1:29
Speaker 3: crisis to say, you know, want you to let us
1:33
Speaker 3: in with a little bit of a little bit of
1:35
Speaker 3: surveillance technology and we'll see see see if we can
1:38
Speaker 3: help you out. They even like they went to a
1:40
Speaker 3: Christian school in Nigeria. We're like, don't you wouldn't you
1:43
Speaker 3: guys like a little power plant near there so you
1:44
Speaker 3: can power the school. They wound up with facial recognition
1:48
Speaker 3: technology instead.
1:49
Speaker 4: It was a package and then.
1:51
Speaker 3: He flips those contacts into a deal for his buddy
1:53
Speaker 3: over at due by Ports World to be able to
1:57
Speaker 3: you know, get that Amorti company in there.
2:00
Speaker 4: Just fun. And then we were also going.
2:03
Speaker 3: Through the the emails continuing over Jmail and found that
2:10
Speaker 3: the Israeli Consulate in the UN Permanent Mission had Jeffrey
2:16
Speaker 3: Epstein's apartment under surveillance well a couple of years, so
2:22
Speaker 3: a Barrock would stay there, and because he would stay there,
2:26
Speaker 3: they then team linked up with the consulate to put
2:30
Speaker 3: in surveillance technology into the apartment and an alarm system,
2:34
Speaker 3: and if any guests went in and out of the
2:36
Speaker 3: Epstein apartment they had to run them through the Israeli Consulate.
2:40
Speaker 5: That's a big find, Yeah, I think so that's a
2:42
Speaker 5: big thing.
2:43
Speaker 4: Yes, Yeah, I think that's a pretty It's gonna be
2:46
Speaker 4: hard to explain that one.
2:47
Speaker 5: We're going to break it down. So we've got lots
2:49
Speaker 5: and lots of Epstein news today. Also a video of
2:51
Speaker 5: Hillary Clinton having a meltdown getting asked some basic questions
2:55
Speaker 5: about all of this. Ryan, there's a skinny for her.
2:59
Speaker 5: Was that rough she's been having? This is the second
3:01
Speaker 5: mom done.
3:02
Speaker 3: I think it aways been pushed around over Munich.
3:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was not a good showing for her. Also,
3:07
Speaker 5: we're working on apparently an Iran deal. We'll see how
3:10
Speaker 5: that turns out. But Steve what Coffiner Kushner were in
3:15
Speaker 5: Geneva yesterday negotiating on that.
3:17
Speaker 3: So it's some administration definitely serious about negotiations this time,
3:21
Speaker 3: definitely not going to kill the negotiator.
3:23
Speaker 5: Ryan found a really funny Trump quote on this that
3:25
Speaker 5: we will save for that block another boat strike another
3:29
Speaker 5: quote unquote narco strike on a vessel that was announced yesterday,
3:34
Speaker 5: So we'll break that down. We are technically in a
3:37
Speaker 5: partial government shutdown, you see. To forget in these insane
3:41
Speaker 5: news cycles over DHS, that's it is vulnerable. The homeland
3:45
Speaker 5: has never been less secure. And we also have what
3:49
Speaker 5: Ryan mom, Donnie w is that what we're calling this?
3:51
Speaker 3: Yes, and now he's also calling for some tax increases
3:55
Speaker 3: to cover the budget shortfall. That is not his fault.
3:58
Speaker 3: He's only been in there for five weeks. There is
4:00
Speaker 3: a budget shortfall. But yeah, people said there's no way
4:04
Speaker 3: he can freeze the rent. The rent Control Board has
4:07
Speaker 3: nothing to do with the mayor. He can't appoint the
4:10
Speaker 3: people till much later. No, he can, and he's getting
4:13
Speaker 3: it done. We will break It's February and he's delivering
4:16
Speaker 3: on like another one.
4:16
Speaker 4: Of his promises.
4:17
Speaker 5: We'll break all that down. And new updates in Sudan
4:20
Speaker 5: that we have come in as well.
4:22
Speaker 4: Hope. Yes, there's.
4:24
Speaker 3: Finally some US pressure toward a resolution. We'll see what
4:29
Speaker 3: comes of it, but we'll break.
4:30
Speaker 5: That down and just reminder, if everyone has been finding
4:34

Speaker 5: access to the second half of the Friday shows, which
4:54
Speaker 5: tend to be pretty fun.
4:55
Speaker 4: It's the best part of the week.
4:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, I always look forward to it. All right,
4:59
Speaker 5: let's start with Hill Clinton, who was sitting for an
5:02
Speaker 5: interview and as Ryan pointed out, has had a little
5:04
Speaker 5: bit of a rough week. She's at the Munix Security
5:06
Speaker 5: conference next week. They have technically what's supposed to be
5:09
Speaker 5: their public Epstein hearing, so we'll see actually if that
5:13
Speaker 5: ends up happening and how it ends up happening. But
5:16
Speaker 5: Hillary Clinton sat for an interview with the BBC. Here
5:20
Speaker 5: is her response to some questions about Jeffrey Epstein.
5:23
Speaker 6: You regret the links that they have been.
5:26
Speaker 5: You know, we have no links.
5:28
Speaker 7: We have a very clear record that we've been willing
5:32
Speaker 7: to talk about, which my husband has said he took
5:36
Speaker 7: some rides on the airplane for his charitable work.
5:41
Speaker 5: I don't recall ever meeting him.
5:43
Speaker 6: Do you have a meeting?
5:45
Speaker 7: I did on a few occasions, and thousands of people
5:49
Speaker 7: go to the Clinton Global Initiative, So to me, is
5:53
Speaker 7: not something that is really at the heart of what
5:58
Speaker 7: this matter is about. They are accused, and in both
6:02
Speaker 7: cases were convicted of horrific crimes against girls and women.
6:09
Speaker 6: That should be the focus.
6:11
Speaker 7: And we are more than happy to say what we know,
6:14
Speaker 7: which is very limited and totally unrelated to their behavior
6:20
Speaker 7: or their crimes. And we want to do it in
6:22
Speaker 7: public because let's make this transparent.
6:25
Speaker 8: There are calls for another individual who denies from doing
6:28
Speaker 8: to go before Congress on this massa Andrew Mountbatten Windsor,
6:34
Speaker 8: formerly Prince Andrew.
6:36
Speaker 6: Do you think he should testify? I think everybody should testify, well,
6:39
Speaker 6: including the former prince.
6:40
Speaker 7: I think everybody should testify who was asked to testify.
6:44
Speaker 7: I just want it to be fair. I want everybody
6:47
Speaker 7: treated the same way. That's not true for my husband
6:51
Speaker 7: and me. Because other witnesses were asked to testify, they
6:54
Speaker 7: gave written statements under oath. We offered that they want
6:59
Speaker 7: to pull us. Why did they want to pull us
7:01
Speaker 7: into this? To divert attention from President Trump? This is
7:04
Speaker 7: not complicated.
7:06
Speaker 5: Quote we have no links. I will turn now to
7:09
Speaker 5: the breaking points on Budsman known as Ryan Griham fact
7:13
Speaker 5: check true false.
7:15
Speaker 3: Well she I mean she fact checked herself immediately afterwards,
7:18
Speaker 3: She's like, we have no links. Well, my husband took
7:20
Speaker 3: some rides on his plane as part of his charitable work.
7:23
Speaker 3: Epstein played and Maxwell played a role in like helping
7:27
Speaker 3: to organize the charitable work to begin with. Yeah, Clinton
7:30
Speaker 3: Global Initiative. So that's that's a link. But the plane
7:34
Speaker 3: is not nothing, not at all. And there were people
7:36
Speaker 3: at the time who were like, you, there's a lot
7:40
Speaker 3: of people. There's a lot of planes that you could
7:43
Speaker 3: be riding around on as the former president, as the
7:46
Speaker 3: former president, why don't do Epstein? He also had that
7:49
Speaker 3: that guy Berkele, who is a total creep. You can
7:53
Speaker 3: you can look up it's this a family friendly show.
7:55
Speaker 3: I'm not even going to tell you it's it's worse
7:57
Speaker 3: than the lead Express almost No, actually, the Leader Express
8:00
Speaker 3: is worse, but it was.
8:01
Speaker 4: It also had its own bad nickname.
8:04
Speaker 3: So not once, but twice he wound up in planes
8:07
Speaker 3: with like you know, sortid nicknames linked to exploitation of women,
8:15
Speaker 3: and then they can like they continue to have relationship
8:17
Speaker 3: out of it.
8:18
Speaker 4: It's like, there's we got the photos from Clinton.
8:20
Speaker 5: You can actually the pictures from their travels give you
8:24
Speaker 5: a really good glimpse at how this was organized, because
8:27
Speaker 5: it wasn't just some hands off It's clearly if you
8:29
Speaker 5: look at the pictures, it wasn't just some sort of
8:31
Speaker 5: like hands off flight. Epstein comes stays, you know, does
8:35
Speaker 5: his own thing. Clinton does his own thing. No, they
8:37
Speaker 5: were literally touring around together. They're standing next to each
8:40
Speaker 5: other and many many pictures. Yeah, it's it's absurd.
8:43
Speaker 3: No, this is before Epstein was charged or convicted the
8:47
Speaker 3: first time. Yeah, so you can say that a lot
8:49
Speaker 3: of people who met him or like as of creep.
8:51
Speaker 5: However, well, he had young women massaging Bill Clinton.
8:54
Speaker 3: Yes, and you also have to understand that this is
8:57
Speaker 3: a world of total creeps. So so in Clinton's defense,
9:02
Speaker 3: a lot of people he encounters at this level of
9:06
Speaker 3: society are complete and total creeps, and many of them
9:10
Speaker 3: are like actual mass murderers, like the way they got
9:14
Speaker 3: into their position of powers by overseeing or ass violence
9:17
Speaker 3: around the globe. And so I think you're probably your
9:21
Speaker 3: moral radar probably is a little haywire by the time
9:25
Speaker 3: you know you're in your post presidency and have yourself overseen,
9:29
Speaker 3: you know, mass violence.
9:31
Speaker 6: Now.
9:31
Speaker 5: Andrew Kozinski did another fact check here. This is a
9:34
Speaker 5: two just of Clinton's claim on the Clinton Global Initiative.
9:37
Speaker 5: She says, oh, thousands of people go to the Clinton
9:39
Speaker 5: Global Initiative. In response to questions about Gleeton Maxwell k
9:42
Speaker 5: File notes Maxwell did not just go to CGI. Maxwell
9:45
Speaker 5: and her charity partnered with CGI, and Maxwell as an
9:47
Speaker 5: honored guest in twenty thirteen there for her Ocean charity,
9:51
Speaker 5: making commitments at CGI, and as CNN reported, Andrew Kozinski
9:56
Speaker 5: reported this at CNN, we saw that she had complementary access.
10:00
Speaker 5: There's other reporting from Kazinski showing that the Clinton Global
10:04
Speaker 5: Initiative Ryan just mentioned this was built in no small
10:08
Speaker 5: part by donations and work coordination from Epstein and Maxwell.
10:14
Speaker 5: Maxwell was intimately intertwined with Doug Band who was Bill
10:19
Speaker 5: Clinton's It was almost what boris Nikolic was to Bill Gates.
10:23
Speaker 5: This is almost what Doug Band was at that time
10:25
Speaker 5: to Bill Clinton.
10:26
Speaker 3: Band was seen as to people who were close to
10:28
Speaker 3: Clinton at the time, he was sort of like an
10:30
Speaker 3: almost an adopted son.
10:32
Speaker 4: Was he was that close to him?
10:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they were very clearly if you look through
10:36
Speaker 5: their emails they're talking about it's you remember the one
10:38
Speaker 5: that I'm thinking of, particularly the Boo Boo one. It's disgusting.
10:42
Speaker 3: Yes, they're, Yes, extremely close would be an understatement.
10:45
Speaker 4: We have we found emails. Yeah, where Band. I think
10:50
Speaker 4: he went to.
10:52
Speaker 3: University of Florida and wanted to see them play in
10:54
Speaker 3: Indianapolis and the NCAA Championship back in oh seven to eight,
10:58
Speaker 3: I think they were in it both here one of
11:00
Speaker 3: those years. And he couldn't get any flights because there's
11:03
Speaker 3: not a lot of flights sending Appolis. So he reaches
11:04
Speaker 3: out to Maxwell and on Epstein, and Epstein's like, yes,
11:09
Speaker 3: let him have the plane. He found a different plane,
11:12
Speaker 3: you know, because he's in Bill Clinton storm, so getting
11:14
Speaker 3: a plane was not going to be that big of
11:17
Speaker 3: a problem. There's the thing to give him a watch
11:19
Speaker 3: and stuff. Anyway, they're connected. Now one person who agrees
11:25
Speaker 3: with Hillary Clinton on part of her point was Thomas
11:28
Speaker 3: massew when he was here. His point was, yeah, she
11:31
Speaker 3: should testify, but it's a distraction, it's theater. And her
11:36
Speaker 3: point that if you're really trying to get to the
11:38
Speaker 3: bottom of what's going on here, we're happy to answer
11:41
Speaker 3: questions in writing like that. Actually, that's that's a pretty
11:45
Speaker 3: like it's better, I think to be in person, but
11:47
Speaker 3: like that's pretty useful, like if it's if it's on
11:50
Speaker 3: the record and it's public and it's under oath. But yeah,
11:54
Speaker 3: Massy's Massy point is like you need subpoena power, You
11:57
Speaker 3: need to like, you need to talk to the banks.
11:59
Speaker 3: You need to get much deeper than just trying to
12:04
Speaker 3: embarrass the Clintons. Yeah, now, the public loves some embarrassment
12:11
Speaker 3: of its top officials.
12:13
Speaker 4: So I'm not going to stand in the way of that.
12:15
Speaker 5: Top officials who have been incredibly accused of rape and
12:17
Speaker 5: we know abuse. There are power in office for sexual exploits.
12:22
Speaker 4: So Bill Clinton's record on this has just been bad.
12:27
Speaker 4: This isn't the whole entire life, the.
12:29
Speaker 5: Whole entire life some really big news in the business world.
12:33
Speaker 5: We can put this an next element up on the
12:34
Speaker 5: screen From New York Post, the Hyatt executive chair Tom
12:37
Speaker 5: Prisker has stepped down over Epstein ties. This came out yesterday.
12:42
Speaker 5: He said in a letter to Hyatt's bard. According to
12:43
Speaker 5: the Post, that he was exiting effective immediately in an
12:46
Speaker 5: effort to show quote good stewardship after more than twenty
12:49
Speaker 5: years at the company, and would not seek reelection to
12:53
Speaker 5: the board at Hyatt's annual shareholder meeting in May. Good
12:57
Speaker 5: stewardship also means protecting high particularly in the context of
13:01
Speaker 5: my association with Jeffrey Epstein and Gahlene Maxwell, which I
13:04
Speaker 5: deeply regret, I exercised terrible judgment and maintaining contact with them,
13:08
Speaker 5: and there's no excuse for failing to distance myself sooner.
13:12
Speaker 5: Pritzker went on to say, Ryan Pritzker is featured in
13:16
Speaker 5: some of your reporting. Why is he stepping down?
13:19
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, he's in there. He's in there, and
13:23
Speaker 3: he seems to be aware of the debaucherous behavior and doesn't.
13:29
Speaker 5: Back out joking about it.
13:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again like I'm half joking. But I feel
13:37
Speaker 3: bad for some of the elites in the sense that
13:40
Speaker 3: all of the people that they associate with are engaged
13:43
Speaker 3: in terrible things all of the time. That's how they
13:46
Speaker 3: got to where they are, and by some fluke chants,
13:53
Speaker 3: Epstein and Maxwell get plucked out as the examples that
13:56
Speaker 3: now the world agrees are horrifying and horrific people and
14:02
Speaker 3: that anybody associated with them needs to go down. Who
14:05
Speaker 3: knows like what other creatures crawl within that world that
14:12
Speaker 3: if you get their emails, if you learned the private
14:16
Speaker 3: details of what they're doing, that they may also have been.
14:20
Speaker 3: Now are they running like a network like this that
14:23
Speaker 3: had this pyramid scheme level of you girls, you know,
14:27
Speaker 3: the teens become in the twenties, and then they become
14:29
Speaker 3: the recruiters, and then they know it's like an industrial
14:33
Speaker 3: scales type situation. You know, probably not, but you're talking
14:38
Speaker 3: a matter of degrees rather than kind in depravity that's
14:43
Speaker 3: like on public display inside these circles, and they're just,
14:47
Speaker 3: I think, very used to seeing it and very used
14:49
Speaker 3: to having no accountability. I was also thinking the other day, like,
14:53
Speaker 3: let's say you were one of these elites and you
14:55
Speaker 3: wanted to call out Epstein, who in the elite world
14:59
Speaker 3: would even be leave you like they would just they'd
15:02
Speaker 3: be like Oh, some business deal went south with you
15:05
Speaker 3: and Jeffrey, So now you're trying to suck all of
15:09
Speaker 3: us into your drama. Right, there's no mechanism for holding
15:14
Speaker 3: these people accountable. Therefore they're not held accountable, and therefore
15:20
Speaker 3: everybody just you know, coast along with it.
15:23
Speaker 4: Now.
15:23
Speaker 3: I'm the reason I'm half joking is because I'm happy
15:25
Speaker 3: to see, you know, anybody associated with this, you know,
15:29
Speaker 3: go down.
15:30
Speaker 5: So in Tom Pritsker, it's not like maybe people don't
15:34
Speaker 5: know his name. They might know his last name. He
15:36
Speaker 5: has cousins of JB. Pritzker, but he's, as we just mentioned,
15:40
Speaker 5: the executive chair of Hyatt, one of the most powerful
15:45
Speaker 5: businessmen in the world.
15:47
Speaker 3: He was I believe it was the pretty Sacer family.
15:49
Speaker 3: That's Penny Pritsker, like major dem donors. I was just
15:51
Speaker 3: going to say, extremely wealthy family.
15:54
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's so much. There's a lot of in the library,
16:01
Speaker 5: in the Epstein library, the DOJ has so it makes
16:05
Speaker 5: complete sense. There's the Post has this. They include this
16:09
Speaker 5: back and forth he had with Karina Shuliac, who is
16:13
Speaker 5: getting more attention recently as well, where in twenty eighteen
16:17
Speaker 5: he quote agreed to help Epstein's girlfriend a arranger trip
16:20
Speaker 5: to Southeast Asia and asked what she planned to do
16:22
Speaker 5: during the trip. Quote going to find a new girlfriend
16:25
Speaker 5: for Jeffrey Shuliac, wrote. Pritzker replied with a smiley face
16:28
Speaker 5: emoji and wrote, May the Force be with you, lovely.
16:33
Speaker 4: Right.
16:33
Speaker 3: So, yeah, we don't know what he knew exactly, but
16:38
Speaker 3: we knew he had window into some of it.
16:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, andticipated exactly. Yeah. I was going to say, yeah,
16:46
Speaker 5: we don't know who he participated, and we know that
16:48
Speaker 5: he was cooperating to some extent with Jeffrey Epstein's camp
16:55
Speaker 5: in regards to like organizing trips, and he's going back
16:59
Speaker 5: and forth with Epstein. And I think I found one
17:00
Speaker 5: last night where he says he responds to Epstein about
17:03
Speaker 5: something that says too old even for me.
17:06
Speaker 3: So they have we allowed this world to be created
17:11
Speaker 3: where you have this ecosystem of people who operate above
17:14
Speaker 3: accountability and with impunity.
17:16
Speaker 4: And this is what we've gotten out of it.
17:18
Speaker 3: And that's why I like Rocana's use of Epstein class,
17:23
Speaker 3: Like there should not be an Epstein class.
17:26
Speaker 4: Everyone should be accountable to the law.
17:29
Speaker 5: So this is an email from Tom Pritzker twenty ten,
17:32
Speaker 5: he says to Epstein, going to Turkey in Wednesday, having
17:35
Speaker 5: dinner with foreign minister, then takabble for some cobos with McCrystal.
17:39
Speaker 5: So Stanley McCrystal, Peter's telling of getting out of government
17:42
Speaker 5: is perfect, not good perfect, assuming that's about Mandelson. This
17:45
Speaker 5: is twenty ten, so I don't know. I am on
17:46
Speaker 5: my way to DC to have someone at NSC explains
17:49
Speaker 5: to me how it is that Turkey president is now
17:50
Speaker 5: looking to Iran for friends, Afghan prez is now looking
17:53
Speaker 5: to Taliban for friends, and the Israeli president is looking
17:56
Speaker 5: in the mirror for friends, trying to looks at CNN
17:58
Speaker 5: and says who needs friends? And the French look in
18:00
Speaker 5: their wine glass for friends. A good one, Tom Pretsky
18:04
Speaker 5: another bang.
18:06
Speaker 3: There you go, well done, Tom, Yeah, seventy five. What
18:09
Speaker 3: are you still work in any way? You're that rich? Serious,
18:11
Speaker 3: which drives me crazy. He's seventy five years old. Seriously,
18:14
Speaker 3: the villages needs needs your What are you doing the villages?
18:18
Speaker 5: He's probably too rich for the villages.
18:20
Speaker 3: They have like four bedrooms, though they get a big
18:23
Speaker 3: one with a screen porch.
18:24
Speaker 5: Sound's nice, all right, Well, now let's go to new
18:27
Speaker 5: drop site.
18:28
Speaker 3: We needn't have to do the like early bird, you
18:31
Speaker 3: can just eat whenever he wants.
18:33
Speaker 5: People forget the degree to which you are perhaps the
18:37
Speaker 5: most prominent national reporter on the.
18:39
Speaker 3: Villages need Well, we got to dive, actually, we need
18:42
Speaker 3: to dive back into it. If the Villages is going
18:45
Speaker 3: through an incredible scandal. You know, it's a corporation that
18:49
Speaker 3: owns a giant city. And what happens after you can't
18:53
Speaker 3: expand anymore to feed the profits of this corporation, then
18:57
Speaker 3: you have to turn inward and just start extracting more
19:00
Speaker 3: out of the people that you have living there. So
19:04
Speaker 3: they started selling them all etiquer advantage plans. Oh gosh,
19:07
Speaker 3: and it just became a giant scam and now they're
19:10
Speaker 3: like facing bankruptcy.
19:12
Speaker 5: Well, we will definitely have to return to the subject.
19:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, we will, we will. And it's it's crazy, it's
19:18
Speaker 3: and it's like, what would happen if you allow a
19:21
Speaker 3: city profits seeking city to just extract things from elderly people. Oh,
19:27
Speaker 3: it turns out it will just scam them until to
19:29
Speaker 3: the point of its own bankruptcy.
19:31
Speaker 5: That reminds me, speaking of pocket profit seeking cities. I
19:35
Speaker 5: found an email last night between Epstein and Lawrence Krause
19:39
Speaker 5: where they're talking about a trip to Disney World, and
19:42
Speaker 5: Epstein suggests to Lawrence Kraus that he has quote special
19:46
Speaker 5: access to Disney because Kraus is saying, I can't get
19:50
Speaker 5: extra Disney tickets sent here for your guests. Too late
19:52
Speaker 5: for that. We can get it when we are there.
19:53
Speaker 5: I won't be able to link her ticket to ours.
19:54
Speaker 5: They will do for yours, so I can deserve one
19:56
Speaker 5: or two rides. But that is the only negative. This
19:58
Speaker 5: is twenty thirteen. I've seen reply out of special access.
20:01
Speaker 3: Don't worry all right, So ma Husein and I will
20:06
Speaker 3: have a piece over at drop site later today. Might
20:09
Speaker 3: be up by the time this show goes up. That
20:12
Speaker 3: shows that the Israeli government installed you know, am alarms
20:16
Speaker 3: and security equipment, surveillance equipment at Jeffrey Epstein's East sixty
20:21
Speaker 3: sixth Street apartment. This stretch, stretching for years, according to emails,
20:27
Speaker 3: have been released by the Department of Justice in twenty
20:30
Speaker 3: sixteen and twenty seventeen at least, and it looks like
20:34
Speaker 3: for periods that go beyond that. Because Ahud Barak was
20:40
Speaker 3: staying so frequently in the apartment. He's the former Prime
20:43
Speaker 3: Minister of Israel, and former prime ministers are entitled to
20:47
Speaker 3: certain levels of security throughout the rest of their career.
20:50
Speaker 4: Barack would be especially.
20:52
Speaker 3: Entitled to it because of his time as Minister of
20:55
Speaker 3: Defense and also as a top intelligence official. He was
20:59
Speaker 3: staying for long stretches of time at Jeffrey Epstein's apartment,
21:02
Speaker 3: which was technically owned by Mark Epstein but effectively controlled
21:07
Speaker 3: by Jeffrey Epstein, mark Epstein's brother, that the Israeli Consulate,
21:15
Speaker 3: the the UN Permanent Mission for Israel in New York,
21:20
Speaker 3: became responsible for security at this Epstein apartment and they installed,
21:27
Speaker 3: you know, different surveillance and security devices in that apartment.
21:31
Speaker 4: You put up.
21:32
Speaker 3: I don't know if we have either of these two
21:36
Speaker 3: elements available, but they go back and forth, and.
21:41
Speaker 4: It turns out that.
21:43
Speaker 3: Basically anybody who had anybody who had to go one
21:47
Speaker 3: to go into the apartment had to have a background
21:50
Speaker 3: check and had to be cleared by the by the
21:52
Speaker 3: Israeli government.
21:56
Speaker 4: The and there was the.
21:57
Speaker 3: Handler for the apartment even turned over a quarter to
22:00
Speaker 3: the emails.
22:00
Speaker 4: So like they're they're going back and forth.
22:03
Speaker 3: With you know, then they say, Hey, we're going to
22:05
Speaker 3: have some new new folks coming in and a different
22:07
Speaker 3: perse different Israeli government official response.
22:10
Speaker 4: I'm taking over for Rafi.
22:12
Speaker 3: I'm now handling this this apartment security. That's the gist
22:16
Speaker 3: of the of what we can glean, you know, just
22:20
Speaker 3: from these documents. Of course, twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen. This
22:25
Speaker 3: is like long after his his conviction, and the first
22:28
Speaker 3: thing it does is blow away the claims by ah
22:31
Speaker 3: Barack that they barely ever met. Okay, but I think
22:36
Speaker 3: we have pretty convincingly blown away that one already gotcha.
22:41
Speaker 3: But it also means that the Israeli government, you know,
22:46
Speaker 3: knew how close Epstein and Barack was. This is also
22:49
Speaker 3: the same apartment where Yoni Korn was, another Israeli spy
22:53
Speaker 3: and a protege of Barack state.
22:57
Speaker 4: He stayed at that apartment as well.
22:58
Speaker 5: So does this part.
23:00
Speaker 3: So it's so East sixty sixth. This is the this
23:05
Speaker 3: is not the townhouse. This is this is the It's
23:08
Speaker 3: maybe a twenty minute walk from from this apartment to
23:14
Speaker 3: the kind of Central Park famous townhouse. This is is
23:17
Speaker 3: it a It's an apartment where he would have people
23:21
Speaker 3: stay who are coming into town.
23:23
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, I've seen this in the emails
23:25
Speaker 5: and sometimes it's women, Yes, a.
23:26
Speaker 4: Lot of times it's women.
23:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they would have to clear He would have
23:30
Speaker 3: to clear those women if it wasn't during these stretches
23:33
Speaker 3: of time.
23:34
Speaker 5: He often appears to be giving it as a fan
23:36
Speaker 5: with the Consulate.
23:36
Speaker 3: It's it is a favor like people. And he did
23:38
Speaker 3: his Paris apartment this way too. Hey, i'm gonna be
23:42
Speaker 3: in Paris, can I stay at your place? Or I'm
23:46
Speaker 3: gonna be in New York and I stay at your place.
23:47
Speaker 5: And sometimes you see him talking to girls where he says,
23:50
Speaker 5: you know, at least give me the courtesy while you're
23:52
Speaker 5: staying in my apartment to you keep me a prize.
23:56
Speaker 4: She didn't get back to them like fast enough she
23:58
Speaker 4: was out of town.
24:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I assume that's the sixty six. Yes, yes, Well,
24:04
Speaker 5: so that's very interesting.
24:05
Speaker 4: Marx company owned like most of the building.
24:09
Speaker 3: It seems like, okay, the development development company and yeah,
24:14
Speaker 3: so you can read the story for some of the
24:16
Speaker 3: from some of the details on it. But yeah, so
24:19
Speaker 3: that's a that's a pretty tight link right there. This
24:23
Speaker 3: is what the Israeli government was doing. The security for
24:26
Speaker 3: Epstein's apartment.
24:28
Speaker 5: This is one of the most significant stories to come
24:31
Speaker 5: out of the entire do O J archive. I think, Ryan,
24:34
Speaker 5: this this one from you and Mos is.
24:36
Speaker 3: Human language, and people will say, well, yeah, it's because
24:39
Speaker 3: it's because Barack was a foreign prime minister and you
24:42
Speaker 3: know they all get security.
24:43
Speaker 4: It's like, okay, but like follow that train of thought
24:49
Speaker 4: a little further.
24:51
Speaker 3: So clearly what this shows, to paraphrase bots music, is
24:56
Speaker 3: that he was a KGB agent. Yeah, he clearly he
25:00
Speaker 3: was working on behalf of the Russians.
25:02
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yes, but I mean it's this is the
25:06
Speaker 5: type of thing that it's like, it's it's obvious, you know,
25:08
Speaker 5: if a Barock is staying. It's one of those things
25:10
Speaker 5: where it's like you can connect the dots A and
25:13
Speaker 5: B and say it's happening. But here what you guys
25:15
Speaker 5: did was prove right, like it's it's logical, it's a
25:18
Speaker 5: logical follow on, but you guys found the actual proof
25:24
Speaker 5: that it was happening. Everyone would know if a Barock
25:27
Speaker 5: is is staying at a place, it's likely that this
25:31
Speaker 5: is happening, but it's not just likely, you know, so
25:34
Speaker 5: it really happened.
25:35
Speaker 3: I know, we have Ma's and another interesting story on
25:39
Speaker 3: Tuesday that if people missed, I think it's and if
25:42
Speaker 3: you care about this kind of stuff, it's really interesting
25:45
Speaker 3: because it's another window into what what Epstein was really
25:48
Speaker 3: doing with Barack and with with the connections that he
25:52
Speaker 3: was building between uh du baiports world, which is Stain
25:57
Speaker 3: suele Am, who who quit recently under pressure. Although everybody
26:01
Speaker 3: thinks he's put out in some type of garden, leave
26:04
Speaker 3: that like he'll he's still probably in the mix, like
26:08
Speaker 3: but you know, I'm sure facing real pressure and put up.
26:10
Speaker 5: By the way, sorry, just before you go that I
26:12
Speaker 5: found an email from him last night. He was Epstein
26:15
Speaker 5: was asking him about another businessman. He said, well, this
26:19
Speaker 5: man is not like me. He's faithful to his life.
26:21
Speaker 5: That the Sultan said to.
26:22
Speaker 4: Epstein, Sultan Sulton, what are you doing man?
26:25
Speaker 3: Yes anyway, yeah Sultan, oh boy, so you put up
26:31
Speaker 3: This is a four headline. Epstein flipped Israel's gods attested
26:37
Speaker 3: biometric scanners into Nigeria ports deal for u A. The
26:43
Speaker 3: kind of headlines that we've been putting on drop size
26:47
Speaker 3: stories lately are kind of mind boggling. You read the
26:50
Speaker 3: story and there is zero zero sensationalism. This is it's
26:54
Speaker 3: just a straightforward like, yeah, literally what he did here,
26:58
Speaker 3: So Boko Haram was going on its rampage in what
27:02
Speaker 3: twenty thirteen and the and so Barack and actually through
27:08
Speaker 3: his wife, he often used his wife to kind of
27:11
Speaker 3: make the first entree to other officials. They reach out
27:16
Speaker 3: condolences to you know for this broke of Haram massacre.
27:21
Speaker 4: You know, we're all where, we are there for you.
27:24
Speaker 3: And what the way that they are there for you
27:26
Speaker 3: then becomes evident over the following years they offer, why
27:33
Speaker 3: don't we come in and yeah, for this Christian private school,
27:38
Speaker 3: build a power plant, like.
27:41
Speaker 4: You know, move move that, you know, move this entire
27:46
Speaker 4: community forward. Wonderful, That's that's terrific.
27:49
Speaker 3: You're going to build a power plant, you know, for
27:51
Speaker 3: this to power this this school, which will then benefit
27:54
Speaker 3: the entire community.
27:56
Speaker 4: That's that's tremendous.
27:58
Speaker 3: That's that's that's what you want the like, the the
28:02
Speaker 3: like Patrician elites, the good Davos crowd to be doing
28:05
Speaker 3: lifting people up from poverty. Somehow along the way, the
28:09
Speaker 3: instead of building a power plant, they accidentally install facial
28:13
Speaker 3: recognition technology. What a mistake, Oh, did we say power plant,
28:19
Speaker 3: we're going to So we have this product that we
28:22
Speaker 3: have tested in Gaza that they used that they that
28:26
Speaker 3: they used at the Rafa border crossing, which was involved
28:29
Speaker 3: with and so Barack yes, bringing this in because Epstein
28:34
Speaker 3: and Barack were deeply entrenched in the Israeli cyber security
28:38
Speaker 3: in cyber weapons industry, So they tested this facial recognition
28:43
Speaker 3: technology early in Gaza. And they come and they say, look,
28:48
Speaker 3: why don't you just install this facial recognition technology here
28:53
Speaker 3: in in this school and at the and at the time,
28:56
Speaker 3: there's this big scandal going on in Nigeria because the
28:59
Speaker 3: government had been exposed for using a lot of Israeli
29:02
Speaker 3: surveillance equipment. And you can witness Epstein and Barack kind
29:06
Speaker 3: of massaging and managing the pr and the fallout and
29:10
Speaker 3: and despite the public outcry in Nigeria around this, managing
29:15
Speaker 3: to muscle it through and then ultimately building enough connections
29:20
Speaker 3: that Epstein is then able to bring Sultan and VP World,
29:25
Speaker 3: DP World into the mix. Nigeria one of the wealthiest
29:31
Speaker 3: countries in the world. It's people do not share in
29:33
Speaker 3: that wealth. It's it's people like Epstein and Zuliam who
29:39
Speaker 3: extract the wealth, funneled a lot of it to the
29:42
Speaker 3: ue where it's laundered through there through their you know
29:49
Speaker 3: makeshift you know mafia like kind of banking system, and
29:53
Speaker 3: then it emerges in.
29:57
Speaker 4: You know as like penthouses.
29:58
Speaker 3: In Miami and work in Paris where it's where it
30:02
Speaker 3: continues to be laundered and then drives up. But you know, property,
30:05
Speaker 3: you know, drives up the price of housing for people
30:07
Speaker 3: all over all over the world because it has to
30:09
Speaker 3: find it has to find somewhere to park that is
30:13
Speaker 3: quasi legitimate.
30:15
Speaker 4: Uh So if you're asking how.
30:16
Speaker 3: That affects you, it makes it so you can't afford
30:19
Speaker 3: a house. So yeah, so they that's kind of what
30:26
Speaker 3: they're doing.
30:27
Speaker 5: And yeah, it's crazy.
30:30
Speaker 4: Yeah.
30:30
Speaker 3: And now Trump is like bombing Nigeria like and also
30:35
Speaker 3: like bombing like even the wrong parts of Nigeria. Not
30:40
Speaker 3: that any parts of Nigeria should be bombed bombed, but
30:42
Speaker 3: he's like was like claiming he's like bombing the remnants
30:44
Speaker 3: of Book of ram or the like whatever they've evolved into.
30:48
Speaker 4: Instead he is bombing completely different parts.
30:52
Speaker 5: Well, let me ask if we combine both of these stories,
30:56
Speaker 5: the extent to which we can say we're.
30:59
Speaker 4: All I should have.
31:01
Speaker 3: You can roll through A five while Emily's talking. This
31:03
Speaker 3: is a slideshow of some of the pieces if you
31:05
Speaker 3: want to read.
31:05
Speaker 4: That, Oh yeah, go ahead.
31:06
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, So if we combine these two stories, to
31:09
Speaker 5: what extent can we say that, A, who Barack and
31:12
Speaker 5: Jeffrey Epstein were state actors or extra state actors? What
31:18
Speaker 5: do we know about how this was in some ways
31:23
Speaker 5: connected with official Israeli government policy.
31:28
Speaker 3: That's that's it's not the wrong question, it is it
31:32
Speaker 3: kind of misunderstands the the distinction between state and non
31:38
Speaker 3: state actors in what in this Davo set. And so
31:43
Speaker 3: like Epstein is not like Epstein. To do what Epstein
31:48
Speaker 3: was doing, he would never have had to have been
31:50
Speaker 3: on the payroll of any spy service.
31:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, anywhere.
31:54
Speaker 3: Yes, And for Barack to do what he's doing doesn't
31:58
Speaker 3: need an official portfolio. Some some times what he was
32:00
Speaker 3: doing he was still Minister of.
32:01
Speaker 5: Defense, That's what I mean. Yeah, because they're.
32:03
Speaker 3: So sometimes he was actually Minister of Defense while he's
32:06
Speaker 3: doing these deals with Epstein. For the most part, after
32:10
Speaker 3: March twenty thirteen is when Barack leaves the office. He
32:13
Speaker 3: then tries to make a comeback and eighteen and then
32:18
Speaker 3: in the nineteen Bannon was going to run his campaign.
32:22
Speaker 4: That it didn't it fizzled.
32:24
Speaker 3: He I think they won like no seats or something
32:27
Speaker 3: or one seat or something, because he was he formed
32:31
Speaker 3: a new political party. He was a Labor party guy.
32:36
Speaker 3: But they're constantly working with the Israeli cyber security industry,
32:45
Speaker 3: which is fully aligned with Israeli state foreign policy and
32:52
Speaker 3: is completely populated by Unit eighty two hundred and other
32:57
Speaker 3: veterans of There's there's basically no membrane between these companies,
33:05
Speaker 3: Paragon being a major one that Barack.
33:08
Speaker 4: Is involved with.
33:09
Speaker 5: It's like Lockheed.
33:09
Speaker 3: It's like saying, yeah, there's probably more of a membrane
33:16
Speaker 3: in some ways between our military industrial complex. But that's
33:21
Speaker 3: the idea, like it is a it is a complex,
33:25
Speaker 3: like when you the phrase military industrial complex, it's the
33:28
Speaker 3: same in Israel, but probably even tighter because.
33:30
Speaker 4: Of the way that.
33:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a small country.
33:35
Speaker 3: It's it's a small country. Everybody's moving in and out
33:37
Speaker 3: of these these positions. And and you see Epstein and
33:40
Speaker 3: Barack frequently in contact with current intelligence officials, like in fact,
33:48
Speaker 3: like when they go to when they go to Nigeria.
33:51
Speaker 3: They get Barack gets like you know, has them like,
33:58
Speaker 3: do up some intel for them on.
34:01
Speaker 4: What's Jonathan good Luck?
34:04
Speaker 3: Give me a background er on him. And that's not
34:08
Speaker 3: just Wikipedia. Like the backgrounders you're going to get from
34:11
Speaker 3: these intel guys are going to be much more interesting,
34:13
Speaker 3: so they have a lot more information.
34:15
Speaker 5: Well, I'm assuming that Ahod Baraka is former intelligence minister
34:19
Speaker 5: and Prime Minister has access to whatever he wants for
34:22
Speaker 5: the most part.
34:22
Speaker 3: And then Johnathan good Luck, just to bring in full
34:26
Speaker 3: circle for breaking points viewers, he was kind of the
34:29
Speaker 3: head of the Commonwealth.
34:33
Speaker 4: Election Advisory Commission that went to.
34:37
Speaker 3: Oversee Pakistan's February twenty twenty four election, which they found
34:43
Speaker 3: to be completely rigged and then buried their report until
34:48
Speaker 3: we got a copy of it and published it.
34:51
Speaker 5: Crazy. Yeah, this is such good reporting. Thanks Ryan for
34:55
Speaker 5: breaking it down for us.
34:56
Speaker 4: Interesting stuff for sure. All Right, war with Iran, let's
35:01
Speaker 4: say you're tomorrow.
35:05
Speaker 5: Well some news yesterday when it comes to Iran negotiations.
35:09
Speaker 5: Let's put this first element up on the screen. New
35:11
Speaker 5: York Post headline Iran US agree on quote guiding principles
35:14
Speaker 5: of nuclear deal, as Vance says, dismantling atomic program among
35:19
Speaker 5: red lines, right, I thought we all kind of understood
35:22
Speaker 5: it was not a good idea to talk about red
35:24
Speaker 5: lines explicitly when you're making foreign policy at this point
35:28
Speaker 5: can come back to bite you. But that is where
35:29
Speaker 5: the Admin landed yesterday.
35:31
Speaker 3: Well SONNYA who keeps trying to add new red lines,
35:35
Speaker 3: and you know it makes the the most cynical observers
35:41
Speaker 3: of NNNYA, whose behavior appeared just pressient over and over
35:45
Speaker 3: and over again. So when throughout the years, actually as
35:49
Speaker 3: NETNYA who was fighting against the nuclear deal first, Obama
35:54
Speaker 3: reached the nuclear deal with Iran back in twenty fifteen,
35:59
Speaker 3: which if we had left it in place an, you know,
36:02
Speaker 3: we could be moving towards just normalization, Like what like
36:06
Speaker 3: if if if that's what we care about, is Iran
36:08
Speaker 3: not having nuclear weapons and allowing inspectors in to make
36:12
Speaker 3: sure that that doesn't happen. People back then said, this
36:15
Speaker 3: isn't even the thing that who cares about. What he
36:18
Speaker 3: cares about is smashing Iran like he wants it as
36:23
Speaker 3: weak as possible, and preferably if he can broken up
36:28
Speaker 3: into little failing statelets Allah like.
36:32
Speaker 4: Libya or or Serious. So you've got the Voloak region.
36:36
Speaker 3: You know, you'd have like insurgents going back and forth
36:38
Speaker 3: between Pakistan and Iran who are part of the like
36:41
Speaker 3: blocust on liberation side. You have the curds up in
36:45
Speaker 3: the north of Iran, who would then you know, they
36:48
Speaker 3: break that off, you like.
36:51
Speaker 4: Just be and then and then you can go in
36:53
Speaker 4: and kind of.
36:53
Speaker 3: Take the oil fields in the south and just kind
36:55
Speaker 3: of cording that off. So that's like the long term
36:59
Speaker 3: goal and the total miseration of tens of millions of Iranians.
37:04
Speaker 3: And so the idea that Okay, once we do the
37:06
Speaker 3: nuclear thing, the next thing they're gonna say, well, we
37:08
Speaker 3: want the ballistic missiles. You can't have ballistic missiles. You
37:12
Speaker 3: can't have any missiles that go more than that can
37:14
Speaker 3: reach Israel. And then if we could get that, then
37:18
Speaker 3: we're gonna move and say, oh, you can't support anybody
37:20
Speaker 3: else outside of outside I run. You can't support the
37:24
Speaker 3: Iraqi militias, you can't support has supports Moss, you can't
37:26
Speaker 3: support pid like whatever you case. You can't do any
37:29
Speaker 3: of that. And Iran has been very clear we're not
37:32
Speaker 3: agreeing to these things. You want to talk nuclear program,
37:35
Speaker 3: let's talk nuclear program. So last time they were announcing
37:40
Speaker 3: that they were making all kinds of progress on the deal,
37:42
Speaker 3: and then boom, they like kill the negotiators and kill
37:45
Speaker 3: the scientists, and then launched the twelve day war.
37:50
Speaker 4: And so.
37:53
Speaker 3: Now they're back and they're saying like, we've got the
37:56
Speaker 3: contours of a deal. But so Iran is saying that,
37:58
Speaker 3: which means that the US has agreed to keep.
38:01
Speaker 4: It to nuclear talks. But Trump, if you you know.
38:05
Speaker 3: He told Larry Cutlow, this is his quote. He says,
38:10
Speaker 3: it's got to be a good deal. No nuclear weapons,
38:13
Speaker 3: no missiles. Know this, Know that all the different things
38:16
Speaker 3: that you want. Now, if you're Ron, like, does that
38:22
Speaker 3: sound like somebody who's engaged in like genuine negotiations, Like
38:26
Speaker 3: are you taking the negotiations seriously? It's got to be
38:29
Speaker 3: a good deal. No nuclear weapons, no missiles, know this,
38:32
Speaker 3: know that, all.
38:32
Speaker 4: The different things that you want. Who's the U is to.
38:37
Speaker 3: Larry Cutlow that Larry Cutlow wants, Yeah that, well.
38:42
Speaker 4: All the things you want, know this, know that.
38:45
Speaker 3: Like Trump is not even trying to put on an
38:48
Speaker 3: act that these talks are serious, Like he has moved
38:55
Speaker 3: anything that can float or fly and launch a missile
38:59
Speaker 3: has been moved within striking range of Iran. Like the
39:05
Speaker 3: build up outside there, I think we have a piece
39:08
Speaker 3: that drops out on this as well later today by.
39:12
Speaker 4: Mas and I think by Jeremy too.
39:16
Speaker 3: The build up makes the previous armada, you know, look
39:21
Speaker 3: like a pinprick.
39:24
Speaker 4: And so I feel like Trump has.
39:27
Speaker 3: Put himself in a position where he doesn't have the
39:30
Speaker 3: strength to like back down from it.
39:32
Speaker 4: He's put so many missiles over there, right, and.
39:36
Speaker 5: He's made such like such intense threat saying, you know,
39:39
Speaker 5: if you start harming protesters, and then he backs down
39:43
Speaker 5: off of that one then sends another aircraft carrier. He's
39:48
Speaker 5: talked very tough, so to your point, as he talked
39:51
Speaker 5: himself into a corner.
39:52
Speaker 3: And yeah, and what's interesting is that last time, I'm
39:57
Speaker 3: curious how he gets out of this, you're or how
40:00
Speaker 3: Trump thinks he gets out of this. So the last
40:03
Speaker 3: time he did this, he's stopped the war at twelve days,
40:08
Speaker 3: and people were glad because it could like they were like,
40:10
Speaker 3: this could go on for a very very long time.
40:13
Speaker 3: And the way he stopped it was by saying we
40:16
Speaker 3: smashed the nuclear program to smotherings set them back many years.
40:23
Speaker 4: Turns out leaked audio from Netnyahu.
40:25
Speaker 3: Just days earlier had said they were years away already,
40:28
Speaker 3: so he was correct. They're still years away. They were
40:30
Speaker 3: they were years away, still years away. But they blew
40:33
Speaker 3: up a lot of things. And he watched it on
40:36
Speaker 3: his you know, video game console. Yeah, and so he's
40:40
Speaker 3: and he's out there these handsome fighters.
40:42
Speaker 4: You know, they did incredible job.
40:45
Speaker 3: We did Top Gun three and we're so proud of ourselves,
40:49
Speaker 3: and we're ending the wars.
40:50
Speaker 5: So they're the jet in the White House. It's next
40:52
Speaker 5: to the Resolute desk, like it has a model of it.
40:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, he loves it. And so so that's how he
40:58
Speaker 4: gets out of it.
41:00
Speaker 3: Well, I guess he could say he blew up every
41:03
Speaker 3: ballistic missile. Okay, they don't have ballistic missiles anymore. And
41:07
Speaker 3: then you could say, well, and the proxies are so
41:09
Speaker 3: weak that like needs to stop crying about them.
41:14
Speaker 4: So maybe that's the way out. But yeah, how does Trump.
41:16
Speaker 3: So Trump's gonna start, Let's say he starts the war
41:19
Speaker 3: very much looks like he's going to. Iran has said
41:23
Speaker 3: we're in a nothing left to lose situation, and so
41:27
Speaker 3: they fire as much as they possibly can. Now the
41:30
Speaker 3: US has such firepower there that they may be able
41:33
Speaker 3: to just take out everything Iran has and be able
41:36
Speaker 3: to stop it before it lands.
41:37
Speaker 4: That's possible either way. They have said that.
41:41
Speaker 3: They're going to launch strikes at American bases where there
41:47
Speaker 3: are American troops, with the intent to kill hundreds of
41:51
Speaker 3: American troops to set up a deterrent. We also reported
41:54
Speaker 3: that there are hundreds of Afghan refugees still stuck at
41:58
Speaker 3: this base and cut her because they got stuck in
42:02
Speaker 3: this diplomatic limbo, like we moved them out of Afghanistan,
42:05
Speaker 3: but we won't let them in the US, so they're
42:07
Speaker 3: just like sitting ducks. That would be the worst outcome
42:13
Speaker 3: like that. Iran just killed hundreds of Afghan refugees stuck
42:16
Speaker 3: at an American base. Okay, so Iran launches all of
42:21
Speaker 3: its missiles. Then you know Trump fires and blows up
42:25
Speaker 3: with the nuclear plants. Again it's missiles. Like, how does
42:28
Speaker 3: he end, right, especially if there are American troops killed?
42:33
Speaker 5: Right?
42:34
Speaker 4: I got his Trump? How do you see Trump ending
42:36
Speaker 4: this one?
42:38
Speaker 5: I have no idea. I mean, I think, on the
42:40
Speaker 5: one hand, the quote that you read suggests a flippancy.
42:45
Speaker 5: I think you're right about that. But on the other hand,
42:47
Speaker 5: I wonder if it's because he feels like he dispatched
42:49
Speaker 5: Jared Kushner and Steve Whitkoff and actually can find some
42:54
Speaker 5: Gaza style historic agreement. Maybe it's only as good as
42:58
Speaker 5: the paper that it's written on, but he can say
43:00
Speaker 5: he did it. And that actually brings us to what
43:03
Speaker 5: you all were reporting at drop Site. So, yeah, wik
43:06
Speaker 5: Coffin Gushner were negotiating this in Geneva yesterday, and that's
43:09
Speaker 5: where Vice President Advance came out and said negotiations went
43:13
Speaker 5: well in some respects is what he told Fox News.
43:15
Speaker 5: But on the other you know, President Trump has been
43:17
Speaker 5: clearly has all these red lines. Let's just jump to
43:20
Speaker 5: B three here. This is a drop Site exclusive that
43:24
Speaker 5: says Hamas says it will not unilaterally disarm as Trump
43:29
Speaker 5: and at Yahoo threatened a return to full scale war. Ryan.
43:34
Speaker 5: That's a report from Jeremy yesterday, and so it's the
43:41
Speaker 5: what's the best way to put this? That happening in
43:45
Speaker 5: parallel to the Iran talks is quite interesting because I
43:48
Speaker 5: actually I do think Trump to some degree thinks that
43:53
Speaker 5: he's sending wit Coffin Kushner around with this mission of
43:58
Speaker 5: putting together grand goals that can be marketed as major
44:03
Speaker 5: wins for peace, world peace, and their business friendly and
44:07
Speaker 5: they're not like what anybody has ever done before. And
44:10
Speaker 5: so he just kind of, I don't know is the
44:12
Speaker 5: right way to say, trust the process, like he trusts
44:15
Speaker 5: the process that Wikoff and Kushner have and if.
44:17
Speaker 4: It careabout because he knows he's going to do war.
44:19
Speaker 5: Well, if it falls apart, then he's he's comfortable doing more.
44:24
Speaker 5: It's almost like he it's a horse of peace. I
44:27
Speaker 5: don't know. It's it's really hard to know what he
44:29
Speaker 5: thinks about all of this because if you could maybe
44:32
Speaker 5: even walk us through a little bit of what Jeremy
44:34
Speaker 5: is hearing and Job says hearing from the Hamas side
44:38
Speaker 5: related to Gaza, how serious was any of that? I mean,
44:42
Speaker 5: we're learning in real time how serious the different points
44:44
Speaker 5: of the peace plan were. So that gives us, I
44:47
Speaker 5: think some clues as to the authority that Kushner and
44:50
Speaker 5: Wicough have in negotiations with Iron two, right, And.
44:54
Speaker 3: This goes back to reality versus reality distortion. So the
44:58
Speaker 3: reality of the fire was that Hamas very explicitly never
45:05
Speaker 3: agreed to disarm as part of the ceasefire. They agreed
45:10
Speaker 3: to cease fire. That was it, and they were very explicit.
45:14
Speaker 3: If you want to talk about disarmament, Hamas is willing
45:19
Speaker 3: to participate in those talks in the context of a
45:23
Speaker 3: national conversation among all Palestinian factions toward a process of
45:29
Speaker 3: self determination and government, which means as long as there
45:33
Speaker 3: is a Palestinian police force that is constituted, then Hamas is.
45:41
Speaker 4: Open to disarming.
45:43
Speaker 3: But we're not going to Hamas is saying we're not
45:46
Speaker 3: going to just disarm and then allow the Israelis to
45:52
Speaker 3: come in and massacre US. They never agreed to that,
45:57
Speaker 3: and so there's everything they've agreed to. Islet was through
46:03
Speaker 3: Phase one is now supposed to be leading into phase two,
46:06
Speaker 3: which is the reconstruction. Israel is saying we cannot move
46:10
Speaker 3: into phase two reconstruction until we have disarmed tom US.
46:15
Speaker 3: So Israel couldn't win disarmament on the battlefield, they couldn't
46:20
Speaker 3: win it at the negotiating table, and so now they're
46:23
Speaker 3: just trying to state it as fact and then get
46:29
Speaker 3: the US because Israel couldn't do it, get the US
46:32
Speaker 3: to execute on it.
46:35
Speaker 4: And from Trump's perspective.
46:37
Speaker 3: I think he does get like, well, wait a minute,
46:38
Speaker 3: hold on, you couldn't do it now, you want us
46:41
Speaker 3: to do it for you. But Trump seems to be
46:45
Speaker 3: willing to effectively just go along. And so they're saying, well,
46:48
Speaker 3: we're going to give Hamas sixty days.
46:51
Speaker 4: Now. The other problem for.
46:52
Speaker 3: Israel here just rhetorically and optically, Nennahu's saying, there's basically
46:57
Speaker 3: no soul programs left, know, like none of those types
47:04
Speaker 3: of heavy munitions. And Hamas has said, we're actually willing
47:09
Speaker 3: to agree to any limits that you want on rockets.
47:13
Speaker 5: Sure disarming in that respect, right what.
47:16
Speaker 3: You would call as Israel likes to call them offensive weapons,
47:20
Speaker 3: but they don't want to give up defensive weapons. Notice,
47:22
Speaker 3: how like even in here in the US, even a
47:26
Speaker 3: people like AOC are like, no, but Israel deserves defensive weapons.
47:29
Speaker 3: Even as she acknowledges they're carrying out a genocide, they're
47:32
Speaker 3: still entitled to defensive weapons. So what about the armed
47:37
Speaker 3: faction resisting the genocide, They're not entitled to defensive weapons
47:42
Speaker 3: like that. Somebody tried to explain the logical consistency there.
47:46
Speaker 3: So what Netna who says is that there are about
47:49
Speaker 3: sixty thousand AK forty sevens that are in circulation in
47:54
Speaker 3: the part of Gaza that Israel does not yet occupy,
47:58
Speaker 3: and that he wants every single one of those out
48:01
Speaker 3: before he will allow any reconstruction. Hamas is saying, no,
48:04
Speaker 3: we don't trust you. We think that you will massacress,
48:07
Speaker 3: you're carrying out a genocide. But from the from outsider's perspective,
48:12
Speaker 3: you're like, wait a minute, aren't you like like the
48:15
Speaker 3: most well armed military outside of the United States in
48:20
Speaker 3: world history, And you're crying to us about sixty thousand
48:24
Speaker 3: AK forty sevens and you're going to starve a civilian
48:29
Speaker 3: population and refuse like reconstruction and over these AK over
48:36
Speaker 3: AK forty sevens, Like how about you just stop doing
48:40
Speaker 3: the war? Just how about that? Like they're agreeing to
48:43
Speaker 3: no missiles so we can put up B two. The
48:46
Speaker 3: border piece is meeting tomorrow, this Trump's Trump's boarder piece,
48:51
Speaker 3: and they're going to push this, push this forward. But
48:55
Speaker 3: and there's then there's talk about, you know, getting this
48:58
Speaker 3: International Stabilization Force was Indonesia is talking about, you know,
49:03
Speaker 3: getting closer to having truth. But we're telling you it's
49:05
Speaker 3: like we're like a year out or something from that.
49:08
Speaker 3: And so if you're Amas, you have said and all
49:11
Speaker 3: of the resistance factions have have apparently agreed, like we're
49:15
Speaker 3: not going to disarm until there is some type of
49:18
Speaker 3: mutually agreed upon Palestinian led police force. And like unless
49:26
Speaker 3: you're like completely blinkered by propaganda, how how is that
49:30
Speaker 3: remotely an objectionable position? Like you, like, unless you're an
49:33
Speaker 3: abolished the police type. Maybe that's net Yahoo, Like he's like,
49:38
Speaker 3: what are you the police? This is just this Karcarle approach.
49:41
Speaker 5: It's a criminal justice criminal.
49:42
Speaker 3: He's a hardcore Kushner. Right, did the first step act? Maybe, yeah,
49:46
Speaker 3: that's right. He's influenced by Kushner him. He's not all
49:49
Speaker 3: the way at abolish the police.
49:51
Speaker 5: The unjust prosecution of Netanyahu.
49:54
Speaker 4: Himself, that's true.
49:55
Speaker 3: He probably is feeling sympathy for the criminal justice reform
49:59
Speaker 3: movement because of his own he's been brought into the fold,
50:01
Speaker 3: he has been so yeah, so netasn abolish the police type,
50:05
Speaker 3: which respect, but most people are not.
50:09
Speaker 4: Like most people are like, no, you actually.
50:10
Speaker 3: Need a police force, especially if there's a genocidal army
50:14
Speaker 3: bearing down on you, that is on a daily basis,
50:20
Speaker 3: uttering genocidal statements and promising to annihilate you.
50:24
Speaker 5: That sounds like the type of negotiating point the Trump
50:27
Speaker 5: administration of that Trump Camp would contra previous administrations. I
50:35
Speaker 5: don't know compromise the right word, but accept in the
50:37
Speaker 5: process of.
50:38
Speaker 4: Getting a deal he has accepted in the past.
50:40
Speaker 5: I was going to ask, Yeah, what do we know
50:41
Speaker 5: about how that can go with border pieces meeting tomorrow?
50:44
Speaker 5: They just left Geneva.
50:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, Trump has said publicly and he gets it, like, yeah,
50:48
Speaker 3: they need, you need to have security. He doesn't want
50:50
Speaker 3: it to become like a rack means a depathification like
50:52
Speaker 3: Trump Trump. Trump is in this interesting point in his
50:56
Speaker 3: life I think where he goes in and out of it,
50:59
Speaker 3: like he'll have moments clarity and then moments where he's like, yeah, whatever, yahoo,
51:05
Speaker 3: do whatever you want.
51:06
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, that's a that's a pretty good summary of
51:10
Speaker 5: everything we just talked about. Moments of moments of clarity
51:13
Speaker 5: and then moments where he's like, yeah, yeahoo, do whatever
51:15
Speaker 5: you want.
51:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, we're I think we're right now at
51:18
Speaker 3: a do whatever you want then yeahoo moment.
51:22
Speaker 5: What a time to be alive. Speaking of Trump doing war,
51:28
Speaker 5: let's move on to another boat strike. We but see
51:32
Speaker 5: one up on the screen. This is from south Com.
51:36
Speaker 5: This is video Southcom released just yesterday, less than twenty
51:41
Speaker 5: four hours ago. Late on February sixteenth, at the direction
51:43
Speaker 5: of Southcom Commander General Franchiselle Donovan, Joint Tax Force Southern
51:47
Speaker 5: Spear conducted three lethal kinetic strikes on three vessels operated
51:51
Speaker 5: by designated terrorist organizations. This is apparently what you're looking
51:55
Speaker 5: at on your screen. Intelligence confirm the vessels we're transitting
51:58
Speaker 5: along non narco tra trafficking routes and were engaged in
52:01
Speaker 5: narco trafficking operations. Eleven male NARCO terrorists were killed during
52:06
Speaker 5: these actions, four on the first vessel in the Eastern Pacific,
52:09
Speaker 5: four on the second vessel in the Eastern Pacific, and
52:11
Speaker 5: three on the third vessel in the Caribbean. No US
52:15
Speaker 5: military forces were harmed.
52:17
Speaker 4: Ryan there was incredible line.
52:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, we carried out this attack from air conditioned
52:22
Speaker 3: rooms in like Florida.
52:24
Speaker 4: Nobody was No US military personal were injured in the operations.
52:27
Speaker 5: Well, and once again we are relying on their claims
52:33
Speaker 5: that the intelligence confirmed these were people quote engaged in
52:38
Speaker 5: narco trafficking operations transitting along quote known narco trafficking routes,
52:43
Speaker 5: and I have to say, reading between the lines them
52:46
Speaker 5: saying one the boats were transitting along non narco trafficking
52:49
Speaker 5: routes and two were engaged in narco trafficking operations, it
52:52
Speaker 5: tells me that their intelligence is literally that the boats
52:55
Speaker 5: were on the routes. We don't know, though. That's just
52:58
Speaker 5: me reading between the lines. They don't tell us what
53:00
Speaker 5: they knew. They aren't putting anybody on trial. They're just
53:04
Speaker 5: blowing them up once again, right, And.
53:08
Speaker 3: We wanted to cover this because the term normalized was
53:11
Speaker 3: abused in the first Trump term. But if you don't
53:16
Speaker 3: cover these like and you just kind of acknowledge that
53:20
Speaker 3: it's just normal that one government is sending drones into
53:26
Speaker 3: the sky and just blowing up boats like it is.
53:29
Speaker 4: A criming as humanity.
53:32
Speaker 3: And so they've now hit at least forty two boats
53:37
Speaker 3: and killed at least one hundred and forty four people.
53:41
Speaker 3: There are some lawsuits already, like from I think some
53:44
Speaker 3: Colombia and Venezuelan citizens or they're loved ones of them,
53:49
Speaker 3: for wrongful death the Coastguard when they intercepped boats. Oftentimes
53:59
Speaker 3: they get it right, something like a third of the time.
54:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, Rand Paul's pointing this.
54:03
Speaker 4: Out, something like a third at the time they get
54:05
Speaker 4: it wrong. And that's with.
54:08
Speaker 3: You know, binoculars, and they're closer, they're like able to look.
54:12
Speaker 3: They're like, okay, like we've been out here doing this
54:15
Speaker 3: a long time. That looks like a drug boat toss.
54:19
Speaker 3: And they stop it because you get stopped by the
54:21
Speaker 3: American Coast Guard that you stop. Yeah, that's what happens.
54:26
Speaker 3: They boored it, they start it, you oftentimes they find it.
54:29
Speaker 3: And then what you can do is you can then
54:32
Speaker 3: ask them who paid you to do this? And that's
54:35
Speaker 3: how you do these drug enforcement operations awful often with
54:39
Speaker 3: the Cubans in the past.
54:40
Speaker 5: Well, you can also take the alleged drugs off of
54:45
Speaker 5: the boat and process them and such.
54:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, process them up through your nose and sell them.
54:51
Speaker 5: Yes, their process can be many things.
54:55
Speaker 3: Yes, it's shockingly there's a lot of a lot of
54:57
Speaker 3: shrinkage between the the seizure and the trial and often
55:04
Speaker 3: oftentimes but you know, setting that aside, if the coast Guard,
55:10
Speaker 3: which has been doing this for decades and can do
55:13
Speaker 3: it from the sea, is getting it wrong one out
55:16
Speaker 3: of three times, why do we think that Pete Hagsth
55:20
Speaker 3: doing it as a video game is going to get
55:23
Speaker 3: it right one hundred percent of the time.
55:24
Speaker 4: That is setting aside the question.
55:28
Speaker 3: Whether if the person is carrying drugs we are within
55:33
Speaker 3: our rights to execute them.
55:35
Speaker 5: That they are engaged in in active combat, right, that's
55:37
Speaker 5: the argument, is that they are engaged in a concerted
55:42
Speaker 5: government effort from Venezuela.
55:44
Speaker 4: To our ally.
55:47
Speaker 5: Now we're in charge of Venezuela. Yes, that they are
55:50
Speaker 5: engaged in a concerted that's a great point. By the way,
55:52
Speaker 5: this is post regime change, postmoduro. I mean, it's not
55:56
Speaker 5: technically a regime change, but postmoduro. The argument is that
56:00
Speaker 5: they are engaged in an act of war by trafficking. Again,
56:04
Speaker 5: the reason that you arrest people and then you tell
56:07
Speaker 5: the public what you're hearing. The reason you do that
56:11
Speaker 5: is precisely so that you know where they're actually going.
56:13
Speaker 5: Are they going to Trinidad? Are they going to other places?
56:17
Speaker 5: Are these Is this going to Europe? A lot of
56:19
Speaker 5: the cocaine from Venezuela goes to Europe, probably more than
56:22
Speaker 5: goes to the United States. So we have no idea,
56:25
Speaker 5: and I don't know how their intelligence tells them precisely
56:29
Speaker 5: that this was narco trafficking coming to the United States
56:33
Speaker 5: by the government, organized by government actors state actors to
56:38
Speaker 5: commit war against the American people. That's all the burden
56:42
Speaker 5: that has to be met for this to make any sense.
56:44
Speaker 5: And to your point, that's why we're covering this. Yeah,
56:46
Speaker 5: that makes no sense.
56:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, you make a very good point, and so and
56:49
Speaker 3: I think it's hard for people to like take seriously
56:52
Speaker 3: the argument that the US is making here to make
56:55
Speaker 3: these strikes quote unquote legal. But if you do for
56:59
Speaker 3: a seconds, just the very important point that Emily is
57:02
Speaker 3: making there. The US's claim that these are legal lethal
57:07
Speaker 3: strikes is rooted in the false claim. But let's let's
57:11
Speaker 3: accept the claim that trend de Aragua is a foreign
57:14
Speaker 3: terrorist organization that is run by Maduro that is at
57:19
Speaker 3: war with the United States, and that all of the
57:22
Speaker 3: narco traffickers in the Pacific, which two of the strikes
57:25
Speaker 3: are in the Pacific, Like, why is Trendragua sending people
57:29
Speaker 3: out to Pacific Eastern Pacific?
57:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know what they do.
57:31
Speaker 3: Like no, like if if they're Venezuela and they're in
57:35
Speaker 3: the Caribbean, not the Pacific.
57:37
Speaker 4: But let's just pretend that all three of these ships.
57:40
Speaker 4: We're going to grant.
57:41
Speaker 3: Everything to the government's argument here, all three of these
57:44
Speaker 3: ships are Torendo Aragua. There's no there's there's no evidence
57:48
Speaker 3: that Tournio Aragua is a international narco trafficking group. They're
57:51
Speaker 3: they're like thugs who like beat people up and like
57:55
Speaker 3: extort people, and like one of those gangs.
57:57
Speaker 5: They almost certainly have some integration the Venezuela government. Of course,
58:02
Speaker 5: almost certainly, that is absolutely true. But whether they're being
58:06
Speaker 5: used as a military force by the Venezuelan government.
58:09
Speaker 3: Warnow, Let's pretend, just for the sake of argument, that
58:13
Speaker 3: Maduro was in fact running Trendy Ragua, and that Trende
58:17
Speaker 3: Ragua was running all of these drugs and that so
58:19
Speaker 3: the argument from the US was, if we blow up
58:22
Speaker 3: these boats they are, that is depriving the Maduro regime,
58:27
Speaker 3: which is a narco terrorist regime that is at war
58:30
Speaker 3: with the United States, from that revenue. And that's what
58:33
Speaker 3: makes these legal strikes.
58:36
Speaker 4: As you may have noticed.
58:37
Speaker 3: From following the news, Maduro is now in jail in
58:42
Speaker 3: the United States. Delsea Rodriguez is running Venezuela Trump just
58:47
Speaker 3: yesterday said that Delca ron Rigaez is doing a tremendous job,
58:53
Speaker 3: and that we are running Venezuela, and that she is
58:55
Speaker 3: doing a tremendous job on our behalf of running Venezuela.
58:59
Speaker 5: This is someone who was again organizing allegedly Trendi Arragua
59:02
Speaker 5: to commit war against the United States government, and that
59:05
Speaker 5: we are still striking people allegedly.
59:07
Speaker 4: Right, So she's doing a tremendous job.
59:08
Speaker 3: She's on our side, We in fact are running If
59:12
Speaker 3: it's true that the Venezuelan government is still running Trenda Iragua,
59:15
Speaker 3: then Trump is running it, right.
59:17
Speaker 4: I mean, but.
59:18
Speaker 3: According to you Trump's logic, he has Delsi is great,
59:23
Speaker 3: she's an ally and Venezuela is not at war with
59:27
Speaker 3: the United States. So then your legal justification that you
59:33
Speaker 3: have put forward for these strikes has completely evaporated. It
59:39
Speaker 3: was it never made any sense to begin with, to
59:42
Speaker 3: be clear, but now it has zero basis, Like this
59:48
Speaker 3: is now you're now just killing at best, narco traffickers,
59:54
Speaker 3: at worst, innocent people, completely innocent people who are.
59:57
Speaker 5: On the boats without a trial.
1:00:00
Speaker 4: So if they are.
1:00:03
Speaker 3: Narco traffickers at this point and the money is going
1:00:04
Speaker 3: back to some government. It's either going back to Ecuador,
1:00:09
Speaker 3: which is your your ally, Noboa, Colombia who he doesn't
1:00:16
Speaker 3: like Petro but like not, we're not he doesn't claim
1:00:19
Speaker 3: that Columbia's at war with us, or Venezuela, which is
1:00:25
Speaker 3: our ally now which we run, or what else. Alvador
1:00:30
Speaker 3: Hunter like, there's there's no one down there that we're
1:00:31
Speaker 3: saying is at war with us other than Cuba.
1:00:33
Speaker 4: And we're not saying.
1:00:34
Speaker 3: That that Cuba isn't behind this now don't apparently. Yeah, anyway,
1:00:45
Speaker 3: we're still total like utterly, completely, totally criminal, even by
1:00:50
Speaker 3: the government's own attempted explanations, like your point is a
1:00:54
Speaker 3: good one, that like the world changed when they took
1:00:57
Speaker 3: Maduro and that and we we pulled out our rationale
1:01:01
Speaker 3: for these strikes and continue the strikes anyway because we
1:01:06
Speaker 3: do not care.
1:01:07
Speaker 5: Well, we'll see if they I mean, we'll see if
1:01:09
Speaker 5: they even bother to I mean, they're posting the footage here.
1:01:12
Speaker 5: We'll see if they even bothered to say, you know
1:01:16
Speaker 5: what state actor.
1:01:18
Speaker 6: They mean.
1:01:19
Speaker 5: All assumptions for the rest of the forty one other
1:01:22
Speaker 5: strikes since what September would be that it was the Venezuelan.
1:01:27
Speaker 5: It was Narco traffickers operating on behalf of the Venezuelan government,
1:01:30
Speaker 5: on behalf of Madurero. This was happening to be a
1:01:33
Speaker 5: shot across the bow to Maduro to either squeeze them
1:01:36
Speaker 5: out or make a regime change operation seem justified. And
1:01:41
Speaker 5: now that that's happened, we will see if they even
1:01:44
Speaker 5: bother to say who they think these narco traffickers were
1:01:50
Speaker 5: committing an act of war on behalf of because so
1:01:52
Speaker 5: far it's nothing. So far, it's just almost bragging by
1:01:55
Speaker 5: posting that video we played earlier of the strikes. So
1:02:00
Speaker 5: I'm curious if they respond to that. Let's let's put
1:02:02
Speaker 5: in a comment request with the State Department. Actually that
1:02:04
Speaker 5: sounds good.
1:02:05
Speaker 3: Hey, what's or in defense department? Like you're doing this
1:02:09
Speaker 3: criminal activity?
1:02:12
Speaker 4: Why? Yeah, what's your justification? Well, I mean, well it's Rubio,
1:02:18
Speaker 4: like yeah.
1:02:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, the well, because if it's Venezuela, I would love
1:02:21
Speaker 5: to know. If we think that Riguez is organizing war, then.
1:02:26
Speaker 4: Is Rubio the kingpin?
1:02:29
Speaker 5: Or I think Trump is the king pin?
1:02:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, Narco Rubio
