Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Hello friends, I'm your host, Chris Thrall. I'm a former
- 0:05Speaker 1: Ruleries commando. I've adventured for better and sometimes worse, across
- 0:11Speaker 1: eighty countries on all seven continents. Welcome to the Port
- 0:16Speaker 1: the t Shirt Podcast. John, howi you, sir?
- 0:26Speaker 2: I'm doing well? How are you?
- 0:28Speaker 1: Yes, I'm phenomenal. Thank you very much. You're a man
- 0:32Speaker 1: of much experience. Looking at your biography.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm getting it old.
- 0:39Speaker 1: He's coming to us all mate, But yes, where to start?
- 0:44Speaker 1: So friends at home? John, like myself. He's a former
- 0:48Speaker 1: marine cancer survivor, father, trial attorney. He's advocated for underrepresented communities,
- 0:57Speaker 1: having come from a marginalized community himself. Twenty twenty four,
- 1:03Speaker 1: John Rant as a Republican candidate for the US Senate
- 1:07Speaker 1: seat in Massachusetts. And I think that, John, the thing
- 1:13Speaker 1: that tweaked my interest, alongside obviously our Marines connection, was
- 1:17Speaker 1: the mesothelioma. You'll represent representation of victims of that poisoning.
- 1:27Speaker 2: One hundred percent. You know asbestos a lot of people,
- 1:30Speaker 2: you know classic as a mineral found in the ground
- 1:34Speaker 2: that's been here forever, but it really is poison, and
- 1:38Speaker 2: it's poison to humans, and it's been poison for humans.
- 1:42Speaker 2: You know, from the beginning of time. You could go
- 1:45Speaker 2: back to the fourteen hundreds and slaves that were sold,
- 1:50Speaker 2: they'd be sold at a discount if those slaves had
- 1:55Speaker 2: woven asbestos blankets or asbestos clothing, because they knew that
- 2:01Speaker 2: those slaves would live a less long life, so therefore
- 2:06Speaker 2: they would be reduced in value. And so then you
- 2:09Speaker 2: get into the nineteen twenties and companies knew that it
- 2:13Speaker 2: was harmful to humans and still used it, incorporated it.
- 2:17Speaker 2: And unfortunately, there is a disease called mesothelioma and it's
- 2:21Speaker 2: only caused by asbestos. There is no other cause known
- 2:24Speaker 2: in the world. And so if you have mesotheliomas because
- 2:28Speaker 2: you were exposed to asbestos and it only, unfortunately can
- 2:32Speaker 2: take a very deminimous amount of exposure. It could be
- 2:35Speaker 2: one summer job as a laborer, you know, or you
- 2:39Speaker 2: could live downwind from a manufacturing plant and get it
- 2:42Speaker 2: because you're playing in your backyard as a youth. So
- 2:45Speaker 2: pretty insidious product.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Yeah, my mother died of it. She was a nurse.
- 2:52Speaker 1: We had charing Cross Hospital in London got heavily bombed
- 2:56Speaker 1: during the Second World War and of course, back then,
- 2:58Speaker 1: the quick go to material was always asbestos, wasn't it
- 3:02Speaker 1: same the same same with the twin twin towers. And
- 3:07Speaker 1: she said, the nurses, you know, they're all junior nurses.
- 3:09Speaker 1: They used to just hang the towels up to dry
- 3:12Speaker 1: on these asbestos lag pipes, and they obviously knew nothing.
- 3:16Speaker 1: And then years later you get this lung complaint and
- 3:20Speaker 1: you go to your doctor and you not only get
- 3:24Speaker 1: the bad news, but by that time, what you've you've
- 3:27Speaker 1: maybe got a year to live.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Yeah, they like, you know, mesathlielma, as you personally know, unfortunately,
- 3:34Speaker 2: is incurable and the life expectancy is between twelve months
- 3:39Speaker 2: and eighteen months. Can be less, can be a little more,
- 3:42Speaker 2: but it effectively is it's such an insidious disease because
- 3:49Speaker 2: from the last time you're exposed until you get diagnosed,
- 3:53Speaker 2: the average length of time is thirty six years, and
- 3:57Speaker 2: it lays dorman in your lungs or the lining of
- 4:01Speaker 2: your lungs all those years, and then once it manifests,
- 4:05Speaker 2: it's just too late. You know, there's really no cure
- 4:08Speaker 2: for it, and so it's very unfortunate. Sorry hear about
- 4:12Speaker 2: your mom.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Yeah, no, thank you. It was she was very brave.
- 4:15Speaker 1: She was going on the radio news, you know, telling everyone,
- 4:20Speaker 1: this is it. I can't do anything about it. And
- 4:23Speaker 1: when they had to read the news on the radio
- 4:25Speaker 1: that mum had died, the you know what do you
- 4:29Speaker 1: call it, the presenter just broke down in tears. They
- 4:32Speaker 1: had to take him off air. So, yeah, at least
- 4:37Speaker 1: some good came out of it, John, Can you explain
- 4:41Speaker 1: what came first, your law degree or your marine's time.
- 4:46Speaker 2: It's a combination. Between my second and third year of
- 4:49Speaker 2: law school, I decided I wanted to join, so I
- 4:55Speaker 2: joined the Marine Corps and between second and third year,
- 4:59Speaker 2: during that summer break, I went to Officer Canadas School
- 5:03Speaker 2: for ten weeks, became commissioned as a second lieutenant in
- 5:07Speaker 2: the Marines, went back, finished my third year of law school,
- 5:12Speaker 2: and once I was admitted to practice law after I
- 5:15Speaker 2: passed the bar, the Marine Corps brought me on active duty.
- 5:18Speaker 2: I did another year of training and then I went
- 5:22Speaker 2: and did a couple of tours of duty.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Yeah, where did you see auction?
- 5:27Speaker 2: I had not any combat action. My service pre dates
- 5:31Speaker 2: ninety eleven. It was you my Arizona and Newport, Rhode Island.
- 5:35Speaker 2: So I had a pretty good, pretty good gigs. I
- 5:38Speaker 2: was teaching at Newport, Rhode Island Naval Justice School in
- 5:44Speaker 2: the Naval War College, so I could I got to
- 5:46Speaker 2: teach generals and admirals on certain rules of engagement, and
- 5:51Speaker 2: the lawyers coming in. So I had a pretty cushy
- 5:54Speaker 2: job in the Marine Corps, you know, the Marines. Even
- 5:56Speaker 2: if you're a lawyer, you still have your rifleman first,
- 5:59Speaker 2: as you know, right, So you still have to do
- 6:02Speaker 2: all the infantry training. You still have to be able
- 6:04Speaker 2: to hike twenty miles with sixty pounds on your back.
- 6:10Speaker 2: You have to do all those things. You just happen
- 6:13Speaker 2: to be a lawyer, but you're a rifleman first, as always.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Dealing with the top brass. That's a that's a tougher
- 6:19Speaker 1: gig than combat.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Well it can be, there's no doubt they don't. They
- 6:25Speaker 2: don't like being told what they can't do either.
- 6:28Speaker 1: No, No, it's many a year since I said it was.
- 6:32Speaker 1: It's a funny kind of you know ecosystem there. So John,
- 6:38Speaker 1: tell me sorry, I just want to go back to
- 6:42Speaker 1: the mesili mesophilioma thing, so over here. Once the kind
- 6:46Speaker 1: of cat was out of the bag, you kind of
- 6:49Speaker 1: got like a standard payout if you could prove. I mean,
- 6:53Speaker 1: I don't even know how hard it was to prove.
- 6:55Speaker 1: You Basically, if you found somebody that had made a
- 6:58Speaker 1: successful claim in court, you could kind of piggyback off
- 7:03Speaker 1: the back of that and say, look, I work with
- 7:05Speaker 1: that person, I'm dying too, and they couldn't really sort
- 7:09Speaker 1: of argue with it.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Was.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Is that how it is in the US now?
- 7:14Speaker 2: Well, there's a combination. There's active cases in the civil
- 7:19Speaker 2: justice court system as well. But a lot of these companies,
- 7:24Speaker 2: as you know, filed for bankruptcy and they took their
- 7:28Speaker 2: insurance and other proceeds and they established trust and so
- 7:34Speaker 2: there's multiple bankrupt trust and some jurisdictions and I'm not sure,
- 7:40Speaker 2: uh you know yours, but it sounds like it may
- 7:44Speaker 2: be more of a claims process in America. It's a combination.
- 7:49Speaker 2: If you can prove a company still in business. You know,
- 7:53Speaker 2: for example, General Electric, you know, made big turbans that
- 7:58Speaker 2: you know for power plants across the country, or Westinghouse,
- 8:04Speaker 2: they're still in business. So if you have that, or
- 8:07Speaker 2: residential boilers or commercial boilers that were covered with the
- 8:11Speaker 2: asbestos those old cast iron boilers. Those companies are still
- 8:15Speaker 2: in business, and so it's a dual track. In America.
- 8:19Speaker 2: You do a claims process, and you're right, it's pretty
- 8:24Speaker 2: easy if you show that you have a mesothelioma, we
- 8:27Speaker 2: know it was caused by asbestos, and if you can
- 8:30Speaker 2: prove you know, exposure to their product, then they're going
- 8:34Speaker 2: to pay you.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Yeah, gotcha. And friends at home with John and I
- 8:39Speaker 1: were kind of speeding through this a bit because John's
- 8:42Speaker 1: on a schedule and there's obviously a lot of stuff
- 8:46Speaker 1: that I want to ask ask this gentlemen. Going back
- 8:49Speaker 1: to the Marines thing, then what kind of crimes were
- 8:52Speaker 1: going on? I mean, I served here in the rural Marines,
- 8:55Speaker 1: and you know, it wasn't it wasn't too far out
- 9:00Speaker 1: the box to find Marines, you know, smuggling cocaine in
- 9:04Speaker 1: from abroad and.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Oh, you know the military, Chris as you know, it's
- 9:10Speaker 2: a microcosm of society, right, and so ninety percent of
- 9:14Speaker 2: the Marines, I mean, you have drug use, you have
- 9:17Speaker 2: domestic violence, you have assaults and batteries, murders. Ninety percent
- 9:24Speaker 2: of the Marines are outstanding, but there's that ten percent
- 9:28Speaker 2: that get in trouble. I was at neme Arizona, so
- 9:32Speaker 2: right on the border, twelve miles away from the Mexican border.
- 9:36Speaker 2: So marines could be hired as mules to transport you know,
- 9:42Speaker 2: marijuana back then, cocaine, heroin. Today it would be fentno
- 9:47Speaker 2: and other drugs. So there would be those charges and sometimes,
- 9:51Speaker 2: you know, my first case was an attempted murder case.
- 9:54Speaker 2: A marine was attacked by a couple other marines and
- 9:58Speaker 2: he stabbed another marine, so they charged him with attempted murder.
- 10:01Speaker 2: And I believed it was self defense, and I argue
- 10:05Speaker 2: to the jury it was self defense. The jury agreed.
- 10:08Speaker 2: And so the same kind of crimes in the civilian world,
- 10:15Speaker 2: just maybe on a lower scale as far as volume.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Yeah, got you, got you. Okay, let's come on to
- 10:22Speaker 1: a more sort of recent stuff. Do you have to
- 10:25Speaker 1: be a Trump fan or can you say no, I
- 10:28Speaker 1: don't like the guy.
- 10:29Speaker 2: No, I ran for US Senate. I'm not. I'm not
- 10:33Speaker 2: a Trump guy, more of a moderate centrist Republican. I've
- 10:39Speaker 2: been an independent all my life. That disappointed some people.
- 10:43Speaker 2: You know, we live into such this divided world that
- 10:47Speaker 2: these two sides seem like they want to tell you
- 10:50Speaker 2: that you have to belong to this one side, and
- 10:52Speaker 2: the other side doesn't love America. The other side, you know,
- 10:57Speaker 2: is evil and you know, well, I'm one of these
- 11:01Speaker 2: people that I can admit that. For example, Trump securing
- 11:05Speaker 2: the border was a good thing. That's a good thing.
- 11:07Speaker 2: You can't have twelve million people coming in as a
- 11:10Speaker 2: national security crisis. And we needed deregulation and we needed
- 11:15Speaker 2: certain industries. But I've never been a big Trump fan myself.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Yeah, gotcha, what do you think? Then I've got to
- 11:25Speaker 1: ask you or my friends out there would be like, Chris,
- 11:28Speaker 1: why didn't you ask this? The Epstein the list that
- 11:33Speaker 1: everyone's talking about the other day. I think the President
- 11:36Speaker 1: upset a lot of people because he said, oh, what
- 11:38Speaker 1: are you still going on about that for when obviously,
- 11:41Speaker 1: with its connection to Israelits and the Mossad, it's pretty
- 11:46Speaker 1: much like the most major thing that he could have
- 11:50Speaker 1: been talking about. What's the kind of you know, people
- 11:54Speaker 1: being told to play that down or people this.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Is one of the areas you know. And actually confronted
- 12:00Speaker 2: Elizabeth Warren when I ran for Senate on the Epstein
- 12:04Speaker 2: stuff because she didn't ask JP Morgan, Chase's CEO she
- 12:09Speaker 2: was questioning him, and she didn't ask any questions about Epstein.
- 12:13Speaker 2: They financed Epstein. They actually settled for two hundred and
- 12:16Speaker 2: ninety million to Epstein victims, and they had to pay
- 12:20Speaker 2: seventy five to the US Virgin Islands. And I was like,
- 12:22Speaker 2: how come you couldn't You're in charge of the banks,
- 12:25Speaker 2: and how do you not ask any questions? And so
- 12:28Speaker 2: I'm someone who believes that we have to eliminate this
- 12:33Speaker 2: two tier justice system where the wealthy and the power
- 12:37Speaker 2: just seemed to play by different rules. And I think Trump,
- 12:41Speaker 2: you misread this. He's been pretty good, obviously with his
- 12:46Speaker 2: political instincts. Right, he's president again, so you have to
- 12:49Speaker 2: give the man credit as far as his political instincts.
- 12:53Speaker 2: But I think he misread the wrong, the room wrong.
- 12:57Speaker 2: I was quick to say that I don't think the
- 12:59Speaker 2: Epstein thing's going to go away, and it hasn't went away.
- 13:03Speaker 2: And you know, now we've seen his deputy Attorney General
- 13:09Speaker 2: interview Maxwell for two days in a row. She was
- 13:13Speaker 2: moved to Texas. There's there's rumors out there that the
- 13:19Speaker 2: FBI redacted Trump's name out of the files, and so
- 13:24Speaker 2: I think we haven't heard the last of it. But
- 13:27Speaker 2: but people want when you think about this, how come
- 13:30Speaker 2: it was just Epstein and Maxwell? How we know that
- 13:35Speaker 2: the man couldn't have carried this off by himself. We
- 13:39Speaker 2: know that there are other people who participated, but they're
- 13:42Speaker 2: not there. Listen when Elizabeth Warren, I when I confronted her,
- 13:47Speaker 2: I said, listen, I know why you're not. Bill Clinton
- 13:51Speaker 2: was involved, right, her donors were involved. High powerful people
- 13:56Speaker 2: are involved. And I think there's a lot of people
- 13:59Speaker 2: that just want justice and they want transparency and they're
- 14:03Speaker 2: tired of this.
- 14:04Speaker 1: Yes, I mean I just like long story short or
- 14:09Speaker 1: cards on the table. I never voted, I thought from
- 14:13Speaker 1: quite a young I mean, first of all, I was
- 14:15Speaker 1: in the marine, so I was away for seven years.
- 14:18Speaker 1: It wasn't a thing, you know, my apparently my dad
- 14:21Speaker 1: could have gone and voted for me. And then and
- 14:25Speaker 1: by the time I sort of got my head around
- 14:26Speaker 1: the whole political thing, I just thought, hang on, why
- 14:30Speaker 1: why would I vote for my own slavery? That kind
- 14:34Speaker 1: of doesn't And you know, the president called it a swamp,
- 14:38Speaker 1: but of course he's calling it from a swamp, from
- 14:41Speaker 1: the swamp that he's in. And when you look at
- 14:43Speaker 1: his history bailed out by the Rothschilds for his you know,
- 14:47Speaker 1: casino business that he comes up a lot of doubt.
- 14:52Speaker 1: I think in people's he's a very hard card to
- 14:55Speaker 1: read because sometimes, like the other day he gave our
- 15:00Speaker 1: Prime minister a bolakin on public television. Not that I
- 15:05Speaker 1: watched public TV, but you know, apparently he did, and
- 15:08Speaker 1: I saw the clip and he was like, oh, so
- 15:11Speaker 1: you're letting in all these you know, illegal immigrants. You know,
- 15:16Speaker 1: do you not kind of realize that's really a stupid
- 15:19Speaker 1: thing to do. And of course our Prime ministers is
- 15:22Speaker 1: totally controlled. He's been told you let in as many
- 15:25Speaker 1: immigrants as you can. We need to destroy the sovereign
- 15:29Speaker 1: nation of England, which has become this abomination that people
- 15:35Speaker 1: call Great Britain. But you know, I'm an Englishman, so
- 15:38Speaker 1: already my identity is being stolen by whatever we're going
- 15:44Speaker 1: to call it, the cabal. And you know, Donald Trump
- 15:48Speaker 1: comes up with these absolute classics, and then at other times,
- 15:51Speaker 1: like with the Epstein thing, you you you kind of
- 15:54Speaker 1: wonder and what about the tariff issue. I read somewhere
- 16:01Speaker 1: today that that could drastically backfire, But it does seem
- 16:05Speaker 1: like a bowl move can you explain it to the audience,
- 16:09Speaker 1: what essentially what he's doing.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know he started off with when he
- 16:15Speaker 2: first unilarily announced terriffs across the board to every country, Canada, Mexico, China,
- 16:24Speaker 2: and you know, he was picking big numbers, fifty percent
- 16:27Speaker 2: tear of some product. The stock market crashed. A lot
- 16:31Speaker 2: of people were like, he's going crazy, He's going to
- 16:34Speaker 2: ruin the country, We're going to depression. Then he stopped it,
- 16:38Speaker 2: started negotiating. Listen, strategic tariffs is something that I believe in.
- 16:43Speaker 2: If China is stealing our intellectual property, or if the
- 16:47Speaker 2: Chinese government is subsidizing a car manufacturer electric car manufacturer
- 16:53Speaker 2: that makes it impossible for an American car manufacturer to compete,
- 16:58Speaker 2: then yes, you use those ten But it hasn't turned
- 17:02Speaker 2: out that bad because right now they have I think
- 17:06Speaker 2: it's fifty billion, it's surplus. It's the first time they've
- 17:11Speaker 2: had it. So my whole position is, we haven't seen
- 17:15Speaker 2: if the tariffs are going to be bad news or
- 17:19Speaker 2: good news. Right now, the administration is celebrating as though
- 17:22Speaker 2: it's good news, but listen, tariffs are ultimately attacks on
- 17:28Speaker 2: consumers at some point. So the question is you know,
- 17:31Speaker 2: how much will the manufacturers assume the cost or push
- 17:35Speaker 2: it down to the customer. And we have a real
- 17:39Speaker 2: affordability issue in America for sure. And that's why you see,
- 17:45Speaker 2: like the guy running for mayor in New York City
- 17:49Speaker 2: who is a socialist and openly says he wants to
- 17:54Speaker 2: control the means of production and there'll be city run
- 17:57Speaker 2: grocery stores and all of that. A lot of people
- 18:00Speaker 2: are turning to him because of that affordability issue. So
- 18:05Speaker 2: we'll see. I think that so far the Trump tariff
- 18:09Speaker 2: plan hasn't been terrible news, but I think it's still early.
- 18:15Speaker 1: Yes, gotcha, gotcha? So you wanted to talk about NATO,
- 18:20Speaker 1: So let's cover that so you don't feel you came
- 18:23Speaker 1: on and didn't get to talk about what I've.
- 18:26Speaker 2: Talked about anything you want to, Chris, Uh, NATO is
- 18:29Speaker 2: an interest. You know, you said that Trump is a
- 18:33Speaker 2: hard fellow to figure out. And you know, Trump said
- 18:36Speaker 2: that he was going to think about getting rid of
- 18:39Speaker 2: NATO like America. He talked about America with drawing from
- 18:43Speaker 2: NATO because he was sick of America being the pocket
- 18:47Speaker 2: book for NATO and that we were paying you know,
- 18:50Speaker 2: a way dispportionate amount. And now you have countries like
- 18:55Speaker 2: these Baltic state countries who are saying that they're going
- 18:59Speaker 2: to pay five five percent of GDP when it's historically
- 19:02Speaker 2: been two percent and they didn't even meet the two percent,
- 19:05Speaker 2: but now they're going to pay five percent. And interesting,
- 19:10Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, has reaffirmed that America's
- 19:16Speaker 2: commitment to NATO. So it's almost this where Trump creates
- 19:20Speaker 2: this chaos. Right, we're drawing to NATO. Everybody's going crazy.
- 19:25Speaker 2: The critics are saying, how could you do your allies
- 19:28Speaker 2: like that? And now you've got countries paying more, and
- 19:31Speaker 2: he's committing to it more, you know, and now we're
- 19:35Speaker 2: selling weapons to these countries that are paying American manufacturers,
- 19:41Speaker 2: you know, military contractors the money. Trump's very transactional, so
- 19:46Speaker 2: he's he it's almost like there's there is a method
- 19:49Speaker 2: to this madness sometimes even though some of us can't
- 19:52Speaker 2: see it. And so it's just interesting because now there's
- 19:56Speaker 2: this reaffirmation of NATO, when just six months ago people
- 20:01Speaker 2: want it rid of Trump because he was destroying our
- 20:04Speaker 2: alliance with NATO.
- 20:06Speaker 1: So yeah, it's almost as though he goes ahead and
- 20:08Speaker 1: says just what you would say if you were the president.
- 20:13Speaker 1: But then he gets rained in and it's like, mister president,
- 20:15Speaker 1: you know, remember.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Two people think that way for sure, because it could
- 20:22Speaker 2: be the Epstein thing. I mean, listen, Trump guaranteed he
- 20:25Speaker 2: was going to get released all the JFK files the
- 20:28Speaker 2: first time, and then he didn't, you know, and it's
- 20:31Speaker 2: you know, whether we call it the deep state or
- 20:34Speaker 2: whether we call it the suits in the back where
- 20:36Speaker 2: no one knows what's going on that's pulling the strings,
- 20:40Speaker 2: it does seem that way because the swamp isn't getting drained.
- 20:44Speaker 1: No. Well, if they were going to drain the swamp,
- 20:46Speaker 1: they would have had an inquiry into nine to eleven
- 20:49Speaker 1: by now, would they not.
- 20:50Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely. And you see also if you look at
- 20:56Speaker 2: the fact that Nina who comes basically says he's sending
- 21:03Speaker 2: a letter because he wants to nominate Trump for the
- 21:06Speaker 2: Nobel Peace Prize, and then immediately shortly thereafter the Epstein
- 21:12Speaker 2: stuffs off. There's just a lot of things that make
- 21:17Speaker 2: you make you scratch your head.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Nenya, who recommending you for the Peace Prize? That's like
- 21:22Speaker 1: a pedophile recommending you as a babysitter.
- 21:27Speaker 2: It's pretty good.
- 21:29Speaker 1: It's it's it's not a good look.
- 21:33Speaker 2: I may have to steal that one.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Yeah, it's well the whole you know, I always think
- 21:40Speaker 1: Israel's just a front company for the global mafia, and
- 21:44Speaker 1: it was set up by the Rothchilds. And it's good
- 21:47Speaker 1: to see now people who are no longer afraid of
- 21:51Speaker 1: the anti Semitic gaslighting slur just coming out and saying
- 21:56Speaker 1: it how it is. You know there's a genocide going
- 21:58Speaker 1: on over there, it's not. And I kind of think,
- 22:03Speaker 1: you know, this dark element have had it too good
- 22:06Speaker 1: for too long. In fact, I did a jff K
- 22:09Speaker 1: podcast couple of days ago and uh oh, what was
- 22:14Speaker 1: I saying? You know what were we would discuss We
- 22:17Speaker 1: were discussing the connections there and totally forgot.
- 22:22Speaker 2: You forgot, I mean, you know, we were talking about Epstein.
- 22:25Speaker 2: We still don't know how Epstein went from being a
- 22:27Speaker 2: high school math teacher to a billionaire with several jets,
- 22:33Speaker 2: with an island, with the largest man apartment in Manhattan.
- 22:39Speaker 2: No one's no one's figured that out, right, How How
- 22:44Speaker 2: how are you a teacher and then all of a
- 22:45Speaker 2: sudden you're a financier, billion multi billionaire, like there's a
- 22:49Speaker 2: there's a lot of unanswered questions. The uh. When an
- 22:53Speaker 2: assistant the United States Attorney says, listen, I gave him
- 22:57Speaker 2: the sweetheart deal because I was told that he was untouchable.
- 23:01Speaker 2: I was told to back off. I was told that
- 23:04Speaker 2: he is part of intelligence. You know that is that Cia?
- 23:09Speaker 2: Is that Masad?
- 23:10Speaker 1: Like I think CIA and Mosada that's the same thing,
- 23:15Speaker 1: is it not?
- 23:15Speaker 2: Some would argue so absolutely.
- 23:18Speaker 1: Well, cous her dad was Robert Maxwell, wasn't he? And
- 23:22Speaker 1: Robert who who mysteriously went off the side of his
- 23:25Speaker 1: boat one night and that was the end of him.
- 23:28Speaker 1: But I think he certainly had his finger in a
- 23:30Speaker 1: few few pies.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, just just the whole thing. When
- 23:36Speaker 2: you see Cash Patel and Dan Bongino, Uh, before they're
- 23:43Speaker 2: in the administration, they're out there, they're pounding the table.
- 23:48Speaker 2: There's no way this guy committed suicide. Uh, they're asked
- 23:53Speaker 2: demanding these questions. Cash Pattel says, the director of the
- 23:56Speaker 2: FBI has the list. Then he becomes the director of
- 23:59Speaker 2: the FBI and he's like, there's there's no list. Yeah.
- 24:02Speaker 2: I mean it's almost like, how did I get angry
- 24:06Speaker 2: for that? Don't treat me like a moron.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Yeah, this that was what I was going to say
- 24:10Speaker 1: during this this JFK podcast. We I was just chatting
- 24:14Speaker 1: with my guests, and you know, I truly believe when
- 24:17Speaker 1: JFK said we're faced by a dark, monolithic conspiracy that
- 24:22Speaker 1: operates by covet, Covet means, you know, I think he
- 24:26Speaker 1: was saying it as as it is, and probably, along
- 24:31Speaker 1: with a host of other policies, he pay for it
- 24:34Speaker 1: with his life.
- 24:35Speaker 2: His brother called the director of the FBI and and
- 24:41Speaker 2: uh and asked, did the CIA kill my brother? You
- 24:44Speaker 2: know what I mean? That's that's the Attorney General of
- 24:47Speaker 2: the United States at the time, and the brother of
- 24:49Speaker 2: the president. His first thought was his own intelligence agency.
- 24:54Speaker 1: So John moving on to some of a bit more
- 24:56Speaker 1: well pleasant certainly for me. You know, we're of a
- 25:00Speaker 1: certain age. We've both been through the mill a bit.
- 25:03Speaker 1: You've come very close to death and you know, pulled
- 25:07Speaker 1: it back, and that is a life changing experience. And
- 25:12Speaker 1: I've certainly been close to it through my shenanigans over
- 25:15Speaker 1: the years and through addiction and whole host of other things.
- 25:20Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to go anywhere near politics because I'd
- 25:23Speaker 1: rather sit in a field on my own with the
- 25:26Speaker 1: son on my face, knowing this beautiful existence, that we've
- 25:30Speaker 1: got this one chance at in this set of molecules,
- 25:33Speaker 1: and then our energy will go back and you know,
- 25:36Speaker 1: join the mothership, so to speak. Do you not worry
- 25:41Speaker 1: that this is kind of sapping your your energy or
- 25:45Speaker 1: your your sort of years on this planet being and this?
- 25:49Speaker 1: And please don't think I'm not trying to be rude
- 25:53Speaker 1: if I am telling me to shut up, But I
- 25:56Speaker 1: just like I just find the spiritual way.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Now.
- 25:59Speaker 1: Is it pays so many dividends for me to be
- 26:03Speaker 1: able to just switch that material nonsense of and remember,
- 26:07Speaker 1: like you know, just remember why we're here. And I
- 26:10Speaker 1: wondered if you'd had any sort of forays in that area.
- 26:13Speaker 2: Well, you know, my oldest daughters I have twenty five,
- 26:18Speaker 2: twenty three, and six year old daughters, and my oldest
- 26:22Speaker 2: daughters want me to just relax, you know, after my
- 26:25Speaker 2: life and have that sun rate. But you know, I
- 26:29Speaker 2: got into politics and decided to run only because when
- 26:33Speaker 2: you learn my story, I really am the embodiment of
- 26:37Speaker 2: this theory of the American dream that if you have
- 26:40Speaker 2: an opportunity and you work hard for it, and you
- 26:43Speaker 2: make sacrifices you can achieve, and I see it dying
- 26:48Speaker 2: like our country is. I've never been this pessimistic about
- 26:53Speaker 2: Erica and about the world, the wealth gap, There's so
- 26:56Speaker 2: many issues in this country, and it's almost like, as
- 27:01Speaker 2: corny as it sounds, before I check out of this world,
- 27:04Speaker 2: I want to be able to say, you know, if
- 27:05Speaker 2: I don't win a race, I didn't win, but I
- 27:07Speaker 2: tried to try to make a difference on a grander scale, uh,
- 27:12Speaker 2: to try to improve the world that we live in.
- 27:16Speaker 2: That really is it. I enjoy my life. I'm blessed.
- 27:20Speaker 2: There have been some bad moments, addiction, cancer, poverty, violence,
- 27:27Speaker 2: all those things, but I certainly appreciated the time we
- 27:32Speaker 2: have left. Because you're right, you get a different perspective,
- 27:36Speaker 2: as corny as it sounds, when you when you when
- 27:38Speaker 2: you face your immortality, you realize what a fleeting moment
- 27:43Speaker 2: we really have and we we need to do our
- 27:47Speaker 2: best to not waste it.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely, that would be a good point to finish.
- 27:52Speaker 1: But do you have that five more minutes? Is that cool?
- 27:57Speaker 2: I think they're calling at ninth there's some radio that's
- 28:00Speaker 2: calling it nine thirty I believe. Let me double check, though,
- 28:04Speaker 2: but I don't want to.
- 28:06Speaker 1: I think your agent said nine thirty five, but I
- 28:08Speaker 1: could be wrong.
- 28:09Speaker 2: O get you're right, it's nine thirty five.
- 28:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I just wanted to cover the I want to
- 28:14Speaker 1: talk about the blockchain obviously linked to digital currency. That
- 28:19Speaker 1: the fear here in the kind of awareness community, the
- 28:23Speaker 1: freedom community is the central banking. Digital currency combined with
- 28:28Speaker 1: digital ID will be the death knell for all of
- 28:32Speaker 1: us or the aor welly in future. We were warned
- 28:35Speaker 1: about when there's just a digital currency and you're you know,
- 28:41Speaker 1: we've all got a credit score, and when every single
- 28:44Speaker 1: transaction on the planet is logged in a in a
- 28:48Speaker 1: ledger for life, that's quite frightening in respects. It means
- 28:53Speaker 1: that you know, if I I don't know, if I
- 28:56Speaker 1: want to buy some weed off a guy today, great,
- 29:00Speaker 1: But then when he gets arrested in ten years time
- 29:03Speaker 1: and they trace the ledger back and it's like ah,
- 29:07Speaker 1: and I get a knock at my door and next thing,
- 29:09Speaker 1: I'm getting hauled off to Guantana, Mobai or some such thing.
- 29:14Speaker 1: Can you just give us your thoughts on it, John,
- 29:16Speaker 1: because I know you probably know way more than I
- 29:19Speaker 1: do well.
- 29:19Speaker 2: One of the reasons I got in the race against
- 29:21Speaker 2: Warren Elizabeth Warren because she favors going to a consumer based,
- 29:29Speaker 2: federal reserve central bank digital currency where they can control it.
- 29:34Speaker 2: So you're right or well spinning in his grave, where
- 29:37Speaker 2: they can control the money. If we ever get to
- 29:41Speaker 2: that state where you have a central bank digital currency
- 29:44Speaker 2: that is for even retail us, then they can turn
- 29:48Speaker 2: that money on and off. Oh, you made a donation
- 29:50Speaker 2: to ABC. That's an extreme group. It doesn't work. Oh
- 29:54Speaker 2: you've had too many sugary drinks. We're going to turn
- 29:56Speaker 2: it off for sugary drinks now. And they can literally
- 30:00Speaker 2: control your money, They control your finance, they control your life.
- 30:03Speaker 2: And so I don't think, you know, I'm not someone
- 30:07Speaker 2: who favors getting rid of cash forever and that world.
- 30:13Speaker 2: But there's going to be alternatives. There's privacy coins out
- 30:17Speaker 2: there on the blockchain as well. But I would fight
- 30:20Speaker 2: and die on that heel of any central bank digital
- 30:24Speaker 2: currency that is given to regular folks. If if if
- 30:28Speaker 2: one central bank wants to deal with another central bank
- 30:31Speaker 2: with some intra brank currency, that's one thing. But to
- 30:34Speaker 2: the rest of us out there where they can see
- 30:37Speaker 2: how you're spending your money where you're spending your money.
- 30:40Speaker 2: And I'll fight that battle with my last breath because
- 30:44Speaker 2: I agree with you. That's that's that's some scary stuff.
- 30:48Speaker 1: One last point, just going back to the NATO thing.
- 30:51Speaker 1: So you've got this Zelensky character who was an actor
- 30:56Speaker 1: in sado masochistic erotic videos, brought to power by Colin Moyski,
- 31:04Speaker 1: who's a you know, global mafia billionaire. By the looks
- 31:11Speaker 1: of it, all the charges he's had against him. They're
- 31:14Speaker 1: imploying a right there, two Jewish guys imploying a right
- 31:18Speaker 1: wing battalion, and people want us to believe in NATO.
- 31:23Speaker 1: I'm just chucking it out there. Something is going on
- 31:26Speaker 1: in that equation. The billions they've had in weapons that
- 31:31Speaker 1: must have just been siphoned straight off onto the black market,
- 31:35Speaker 1: you know, or shared out amongst their dark club buddies. Yeah,
- 31:41Speaker 1: any any thoughts.
- 31:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's a lot of people that feel
- 31:47Speaker 2: that way. One of the reasons Trump won is because,
- 31:50Speaker 2: you know, America is exhausted from the foreign wars and
- 31:55Speaker 2: exhausted by the industrial military complex. I mean, listen, the
- 31:59Speaker 2: major military contractors are owned by the black rocks and
- 32:04Speaker 2: the vanguards of the world. And then they have a
- 32:07Speaker 2: contract to rebuild Ukraine, right trillions. So they make money
- 32:14Speaker 2: destroying it and then they make money rebuilding it. That's
- 32:17Speaker 2: a pretty good business model. It's immoral, it's you know,
- 32:22Speaker 2: all those things, but from an economic standpoint, that's a
- 32:25Speaker 2: pretty damn good business model, don't you think. And so
- 32:29Speaker 2: a lot of people feel that way. And you know,
- 32:31Speaker 2: NATO itself was established. It's like social security, you know,
- 32:38Speaker 2: we established some of these programs and structures from the thirties,
- 32:42Speaker 2: you know, or the Code war after World War Two.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Doesn't necessarily mean that it's meant to stay like that
- 32:49Speaker 2: for the rest of the existence, you know, And so
- 32:52Speaker 2: unfortunately these politicians get in and it becomes self service
- 32:56Speaker 2: instead of public service.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Absolutely, John, you've been absolutely brilliant. I've totally enjoyed this chat.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 33:04Speaker 1: I really want to thank you for your honesty, because
- 33:06Speaker 1: I think now is our time. You know, we've fed
- 33:08Speaker 1: up with all the nonsense. We've fed up with you know,
- 33:11Speaker 1: buildings falling out the sky, and it's time for everyone
- 33:15Speaker 1: to speak their truth and create a better future for
- 33:18Speaker 1: the kids that we brought into this world. So John,
- 33:21Speaker 1: I know you've got to go, so don't hang around
- 33:24Speaker 1: friends at home. Much love to you all. If you
- 33:27Speaker 1: could please like and subscribe, that would be awesome and
