What do we have, Crystal? 16 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 2: Indeed, we do many things to talk about this morning, 17 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 2: including a new Wall Street Journal bombshell. Trump is officially 18 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: in the Epstein files and was informed of such, so 19 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 2: we will break all of that down. Also have a 20 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 2: little bit of pulling to dig through on all of 21 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 2: those matters as well. Some interesting new note Boys fallout too. 22 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: We are learning God to save them that they were 23 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: actually given a list of interview questions before their big 24 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: Net Nyahuo interview. They're sort of still spiraling there, so 25 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: interesting to dig into that. As a media story, I 26 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 2: think a significant one. Actually some very dire news coming 27 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 2: out of Israel. We now have a whistleblower coming forward 28 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: from that so called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation talking about the 29 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: unbelievable and horrifying force being used against Palestinians in the 30 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: context of them trying to obtain AID. We also have 31 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: another significant media story here involving Candace Owens, who is 32 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: now being sued by the first family of France. Candace 33 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: did a long piece alleging that Brigitte Macron, the first 34 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: Lady of France, is actually a man, was born a man, etc. 35 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: And so they are suing her over those and other claims. 36 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 2: We also have significant economic news. Home prices are continuing 37 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: to go up, home sales continuing to go down. In fact, 38 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: a significant number of deals that were originally struck in 39 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: the housing market fell apart last month, record high member 40 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: of those deals falling apart, So still really dire there. 41 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: This comes also as Trump has announced a new quote 42 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: unquote trade deal with Japan's We'll dig into all of 43 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: that and we're going to have a guest onto breakdown 44 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: if there is any there there. 45 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 4: With this big Russia Gate. 46 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: Document drop obviously being used as an attempt to distract 47 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 2: from Epstein, it's not working very well, but we did 48 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: want to sift through and see if there's anything we should. 49 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 3: Know Obamagate as an original Obama Gator myself. Yeah, it's 50 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 3: been difficult, you know, we're having to go back and 51 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 3: reread all the files, etc. 52 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: But yes, we will allow Isaac. 53 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 3: Isaac has done a fantastic job here from Tangle. He's 54 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 3: actually read through everything, covered the stuff for years, and 55 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: so we're going to outsource some of our knowledge over there. 56 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 3: Thank you Eiaac for having us to go.

So with that, let's go 71 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 3: ahead and start here with the Epstein story. This is 72 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 3: again a very remarkable, very interesting leak coming to the 73 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 3: Wall Street Journal. Let's put it up there on the screen. Quote, 74 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 3: the Justice Department told Donald Trump in May that his 75 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 3: name is among many in the Epstein files. There's a 76 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 3: lot here, and I'm going to go through both the 77 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 3: exact details of the story, but also the timeline, because 78 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 3: the timeline matters a lot. 79 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 5: Quote. 80 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 3: When the Justice Apartment reviewed the Attorney General Pam Bondi 81 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: called a truckload of documents, they discovered that Donald Trump's 82 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 3: name appeared multiple times. In May, her and her deputy 83 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 3: informed the President at a meeting in White House that 84 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 3: the name his name was in the Epstein files. Quote, 85 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 3: many other high profile figures were also named. Trump was 86 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: told being mentioned in the records is not a sign 87 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 3: of wrongdoing. That's obviously correct. And then something that we've 88 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 3: talked about here for quite a long time, they said. 89 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 3: The official said it was part of a routine briefing 90 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 3: covered a number of topics, and that Trump's appearance in 91 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 3: the document was not even the focus. 92 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: They told the. 93 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 3: President at this meeting that the files contained what officials 94 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 3: felt was quote unverified hearsay about many people, including Trump, 95 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 3: who had socialized with Epstein in the past, some of 96 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 3: the officials said. One of the officials familiar, said that 97 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 3: they contain hundreds of other names. They also said that 98 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 3: Trump told They also told Trump the senior Justice Department 99 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 3: officials didn't plan to release any more documents related to 100 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 3: the investigation of the convicted sex offender because the material 101 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 3: contained child pornography and victim's personal information. Trump said at 102 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 3: the meeting he would defer to the Justice Department. Now 103 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 3: I want to sit on that for a second. So 104 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 3: first and foremost is this Number One is that obviously 105 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 3: they told Trump his name was in the Epstein files. 106 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 3: But the thing is is that within the context, it 107 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 3: makes it even more bizarre about Trump's decision not to 108 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 3: release it, and really why this is a pr crisis 109 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 3: of his own making. Now at the point if he 110 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 3: had released it, where his name in hundreds of other names. 111 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 3: There would be quite literally hundreds of stories to be 112 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 3: able to go into this right and we could all 113 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 3: diagnose and we could take a look at all of 114 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 3: these different connections. By doing the cover up and also 115 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 3: claiming that you were going to release everything, you now 116 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 3: make it so that the singular focus is on you, 117 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 3: the president, for the person here, and actually make it 118 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 3: more likely in my mind, in many people's minds who 119 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: are analysts here are like, I don't know, man, maybe 120 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 3: there is some ben a hell of a lot more 121 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 3: which is causing all these journalists. You know, the Epstein 122 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 3: birthday book, all of these old clips were going to 123 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: place some here in a little bit just to show people, 124 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 3: like some of the past scrutiny on Epstein and Trump's 125 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 3: own relationship, this is all because of your own actions. 126 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 3: Second is Crystal, Remember this meeting was in May. We 127 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,679 Speaker 3: did not get the Epstein memo until almost a month later, 128 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 3: ahead of the visit of the Israeli Prime Minister. So 129 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,679 Speaker 3: it seems that they made the decision some one month earlier, 130 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 3: basically around the time cash Ptel and others were going 131 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 3: around on podcasts kind of laying the groundwork for this 132 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 3: but what happened in that one month period They said 133 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 3: they weren't going to release anything, and then a month 134 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: later they come out and. 135 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: Kind of say it. So the timing of it is 136 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: very suspect. 137 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 3: Remember also in that interim month, they still were claiming 138 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 3: that they were doing and investigation. So it basically makes 139 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: the government look like a whole bunch of liars. It 140 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 3: obviously makes Trump himself look dramatically more implicated in a 141 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 3: cover up, probably makes him now at this point more 142 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: intransigent to not release the files, which makes him look 143 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 3: even more guilty. And so it's just a spiraling thing 144 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 3: where again the simplest answer is one which would probably 145 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 3: be to his own benefit and to everybody else. 146 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: Just release everything that what's in there. That's all you 147 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: got to do. Man, that's what you said you were 148 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: going to do. 149 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 4: It depends what But that's my point. 150 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: I mean, and now they're making it sketchy. 151 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 2: But you're yeah, but maybe it's get like you're assuming 152 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 2: that what's in there is just oh, he was at 153 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 2: his wedding and they sent him a birthday card or whatever. 154 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 4: We don't know that. 155 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I wat Trump is acting would indicate that 156 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 2: there may be some much worse things. That is Okham's 157 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 2: razor at this point, just based on the way that 158 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: he's acting. But I mean, this story is it is 159 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 2: probably the least surprising story that we've seen thus far, 160 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 2: because and by the way, Elon apparently totally vindicated at 161 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 2: this point. When Elon first said that Trump is in 162 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 2: the Epstein files, what do we say? We said, of 163 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 2: course Trump is in the Epstein files. They were very 164 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 2: close friends for a lot of years. There is zero 165 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 2: doubt that Trump is in the Epstein files. Question mark 166 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 2: of what that means and what the implications are and 167 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: what you know all of that, but there's was never 168 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: any doubt. We know he flew on Epstein's plane at 169 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: least seven times, so it should be no surprise to 170 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: anyone that he is quote unquote in the Epstein files. 171 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 2: Whatever you know, that really means. The question is what 172 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 2: you know? What are the specifics here? And why are 173 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 2: you acting so incredibly bizarrely? That's really what it comes 174 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: down to. And you're right, that has opened up a 175 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 2: can of worms of people going back, because there was 176 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 2: a lot of memory holding. There was a lot of 177 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: deni on the right about just how close they were, 178 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: and how much, how long the association lasted, and all 179 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 2: of those sorts of things, and so now you know, 180 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: let's go ahead and play. This was Jeffrey Epstein when 181 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 2: he was being deposed, got asked specifically about his relationship 182 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: with Donald Trump and about whether or not they had 183 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: ever been together in the presence of underage girls. Let's 184 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: go ahead and take a listen to how he's fun that. 185 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: Have you ever had a personal relationship with Donald Trump? 186 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 3: What do you mean by personal relationships? 187 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: Have you socialized with him? 188 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 6: Yes, sir, Yes, yes, sir. 189 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 3: Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of. 190 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: Females under the age of eighteen? 191 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 7: Though I'd like to answer that question at least today, 192 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 7: I'm going to have to assert by fifth, sixth, and fourteenth, 193 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 7: and then the radser. 194 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: If they're to be the Midas, touch networking, all kinds 195 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 2: of stuff. 196 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: Well, listen to that. As you said, it's been out there. 197 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: I don't deny it either. 198 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 3: I mean my assumption, perhaps naively, was Yeah, Look, he's 199 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 3: one of the most scrutinized public figures in the world 200 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 3: at this point. Yeah, they went to each other's weddings, 201 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 3: et cetera. I'm not saying I believe Trump in its face, 202 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: but I was like, I think we kind of know. Yeah, 203 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 3: they were obviously friends, they had all these you know, 204 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 3: sketchy personal connections in certain ways. But at this point, 205 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 3: considering both his rhetoric and the rhetoric of his administration, 206 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, they'll probably release it. I mean, again, 207 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 3: I could be totally wrong, and perhaps they are, but 208 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 3: at this point, his behavior is such that is really 209 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 3: vindicating a lot of what you're saying. And that's why 210 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 3: I actually think at this point, you really do have 211 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 3: no choice but to release it, in my opinion, and 212 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 3: also just because of the way that the political wins 213 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 3: continue to shift, both in Washington. Remember they literally had 214 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 3: to shut down the House of Representatives to stop vote. 215 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 3: And even with that, I mean, I got to give 216 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 3: some of the Republicans some credit here, because you know, 217 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 3: just yesterday was the House Oversight Committee, multiple Republicans broke 218 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 3: with the administration. They voted eight to two to subpoena 219 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 3: Glene Maxwell, who have some testimony before them. There are 220 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 3: actually people who are there who are like, no, I'm 221 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 3: not We're not stopping this is going to happen. The 222 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 3: reason they had to shut down the House was because 223 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 3: there were enough Republicans who were willing to join the 224 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 3: Democrats as say no, screw it, yeah we're going forward. 225 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: Well let's let's pause on Glaine for a second, because 226 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 2: I know Ryan and Emily covered this, But the administration 227 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: is talking to her. I mean, it's very very very possible, 228 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 2: and she's obviously working to try to get a deal, 229 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: try to get a pardon. Yes, And I think that's 230 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 2: very possibly the direction that we go in where she 231 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 2: effectively in exchange for quote unquote exonerating Trump, is let 232 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 2: out of her, has her person sentence commuted it, or 233 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 2: get some sort of a deal. 234 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 4: So you know, that's possible as well. 235 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 2: And she has an appeal up to the Supreme Court 236 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 2: right now that right now the government is taking the 237 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 2: position no, you know, she needs to stay in prison. 238 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 2: And that previous sweetheart deal that was struck with Epstein 239 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 2: that said none of your co conspirators could be charged either, 240 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 2: that doesn't apply here for this various various technical reasons. 241 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 2: So I think that is possible as well. I mean 242 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 2: that's the thing is like what regards whatever's in the files, 243 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 2: the way they have played. This is so incredibly stupid. 244 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 2: It's like the worst possible way you could do, because 245 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 2: these people are obviously not above line. We're about to 246 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 2: show you Trump coming out and being like, well, of 247 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 2: course this. You didn't tell me that I was in 248 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 2: the Epstein files. So they could have released some subset, 249 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 2: you know, this ploy that they're doing now with the trial, Oh, 250 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 2: let's release the grand jury testimony, which the courts are 251 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 2: already you know, saying no, we're not going to do 252 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 2: that because there's no you know, we're basically not allowed to. 253 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 2: They could have done that ploy previously to make it 254 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 2: look like they're trying for transparency, but gosh darn at 255 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 2: the court system is just standing their way or something, 256 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 2: or just run out the clock, as you and I, 257 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 2: you know, it's fully expected them to do. And instead 258 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 2: you have made it look like you are so guilty 259 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 2: and maybe you are, and drawn so much attention and 260 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: scrutiny that now everybody is going back through every picture, 261 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 2: every video, every deposition, everything that has ever connected you 262 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 2: to Jeffrey Epstein and to that world and looking at 263 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 2: it through a totally different lens. 264 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 3: At this point, right, And that's actually another thing, which 265 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 3: I think is important to align with the Gallaine stuff. 266 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 3: So Gallaine is actually meeting with the Justice Department today. 267 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 3: But the problem is, at this point you've poisoned the 268 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 3: well right for any substance, I mean, at. 269 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: The end of this is part of what does to 270 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: me again point to a cover up. 271 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 3: Gallaine Maxwell's attorneys and the government say, we never asked 272 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 3: her if she ever had any third what you. 273 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: Never asked her in ninety twenty twenty. 274 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: You never asked her, and now you're asking her at 275 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 3: a time when she's directly asking for a pardon from 276 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 3: Donald Trump. 277 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: What She's stupid. 278 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: She can't look at the news and say, hey, I 279 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 3: need to know what I said if they had released 280 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 3: the files and then come to Gallane. Also, by the way, 281 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 3: at this point, I mean, Ghlaine Maxwell, just on the 282 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 3: merits of what she's been convicted of, it's heinous. She 283 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 3: should never be allowed to parton or any of this. 284 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 3: I'm talking about just her crimes with relation to Jeffrey Epstein. 285 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 3: And so let's just leave it at that and say, 286 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 3: all right, Gallaine, maybe we can talk sentence reduction and 287 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 3: all of this, but you have to be able to 288 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 3: give US prosecutable you know, verifiable evidence. I think it's 289 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 3: called like a rule thirty five or something like that, 290 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 3: where a judge can take into consideration your cooperation with 291 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 3: the government but has to uh, it has to like 292 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 3: lead to actually something, Whereas now they've poisoned the well 293 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 3: through their cover up actions. And now if she does 294 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 3: come out and say, oh Trump and she's never an 295 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 3: intelligence asset or none of this, We're like, yeah, come on, man, 296 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 3: I mean, this is just as sketchy as a non 297 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 3: prosecution degree. 298 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 2: Right, you really couldn't believe anything she says at this point, 299 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 2: because who are you leaving? I mean, you know, she 300 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 2: is not going to implicate Trump, regardless of however much 301 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 2: they're there. 302 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: Blaen's because she wants to deal with it. Glene has 303 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: had a year. 304 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: She even gave interviews from her jail cell, right, Like, 305 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 3: It's not like she couldn't say something if she didn't 306 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,959 Speaker 3: want to. She's keeping it all in And look, she 307 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 3: was at the Clinton wedding. She knew Donald Trump. She 308 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 3: meant elon her father literally a Mosad asset, you know, 309 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 3: I mean, I could go on forever in terms of 310 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 3: this woman's background. 311 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: It's nuts. All right, I mean Lourene Powell jobs like 312 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: she's got all kinds. 313 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 3: Of stuff on all kinds of people, regardless of, by 314 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 3: the way, whether they're implicated in sex trafficking or not, 315 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: just their mere association. We saw with Elon Loreen Pole 316 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 3: job it's a problem. No, it's a problem. And here 317 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 3: we have with Donald Trump again like it's just instinct 318 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 3: to just, you know, basically just come out and lie 319 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 3: about a lot of the information. Here he was asked repeatedly, 320 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 3: did you, but Pam Bondi, ever tell you your name 321 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 3: was in the Epstein files? 322 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 1: And he said, no, let's take a listen on a 323 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: DJ and what subject. 324 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 4: There were a few of the files, turning Donald pamponi. 325 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 7: Very very quick briefing. 326 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 4: Did she tell you what did she tell you about 327 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 4: what you specifically? Did she tell you that all that 328 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 4: your name appeared in? 329 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 7: No, No, she's she's given us just a very quick briefing. 330 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 7: And in terms of the credibility of the different things 331 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 7: that they've seen. And I would say that you know, 332 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 7: these files were made up by Komi, they were made 333 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 7: up by Obama, they were made up by the Biden 334 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 7: from you know, uh, we and we went three years 335 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 7: of that with the Russia Russia Russia hoax. 336 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 3: So you know, he's literally said, no, she did not 337 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: tell me that I was in the Epstein files. Another 338 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 3: person who a lot of people have been looking to 339 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 3: here is Mark Epstein, the brother, and he directly talked 340 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 3: about some of the contradictions from the president's claim saying 341 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 3: he'd never been in his office, and he said, no, 342 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 3: that's just absolutely not true. 343 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: Let's take a listen to that. 344 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 4: And the White House their response to us Mark, they 345 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 4: were categorical. 346 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 8: They said, quote, the President was never in Epstein's office. 347 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 4: Is that true? 348 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 5: That the blatant that's just another blatant lie because he 349 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 5: was there. The people that work for Jeffrey in his 350 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 5: office you can find and they can testify that they 351 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 5: saw Trump and Jeffrey's office on numerous occasions, you know, 352 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 5: So for him to say he wasn't there, all I 353 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 5: could say is that's just just another lie. 354 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: So you can say he said that's just another lie. 355 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 3: I mean, look, Mark Epstein, I understand he's got his 356 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 3: own personal agenda and everybody should keep that in mind. 357 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 3: But a lot of the stuff that Marcus said has 358 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 3: actually turned out to be true. Remember it's Mark also 359 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 3: who has really driven the train of my brother did 360 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 3: not commit suicide. By the way, if everybody want so, 361 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 3: they should go and watch the interview that Ryan and 362 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 3: Emily did yesterday with a former inmate at the MCC. 363 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 3: I mean, this guy, the case that he lays out 364 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 3: about the cameras and the way that everything he works there, 365 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 3: it's just again, it's just not credible. I mean I 366 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 3: knew that, and I'd heard from other people, but to 367 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 3: hear from such an intelligent and articulate person who was 368 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 3: also literally an inmate in this facility, a deep association 369 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 3: knowledge of a lot of these cameras and himself is 370 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 3: a technology expert. You know, you could take it for 371 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 3: you could take it with whatever grain and salt. 372 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: I guess that you want. 373 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 3: I don't think he has a particular agenda that he's pushing. 374 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 3: He's just like listen, I was there. 375 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 9: This is how it all worked. 376 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 3: And I'm telling you the government story doesn't make any 377 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 3: sense whatsoever at all that fits with the original OIG investigation. 378 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 3: And now all this fake footage that's been put out 379 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 3: by Pam Bondi so and the very least you know 380 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 3: with Mark Epstein. A lot of what he has said 381 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 3: has turned out at the very least to be correct. Now, 382 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 3: don't forget, you know, he's also trying to whitewash some 383 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 3: of his brother's crimes and his record. 384 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: So let's put that out there. 385 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 3: But broadly, I mean what the Trump administration and again, 386 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 3: in all their actions, and this will get to the 387 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 3: kind of the Russia Gate, Obama Gate stuff and even 388 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 3: the MLK files is it's pretty clear they're desperate to 389 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 3: release or to try and distract, at the very least 390 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 3: a lot of their base from what's happening. And yet 391 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 3: the Director of National Intelligence, Tulca Gabbard, she delivered this 392 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 3: long presentation yesterday about Obamagate and referring Obama to criminal prosecution, etc. 393 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 3: As we said, we'll get to that at the ladder 394 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 3: end of the show because we have a guest on 395 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 3: who's going to break it all down for us. But 396 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 3: she's asked here directly about Jeffrey Epstein and intelligence connections. 397 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: Let's take a listen. 398 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 10: I haven't seen any evidence or information that reflects that. 399 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 10: If anything comes before me that changes that in any way, 400 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 10: support the President's statement loud and clear that any credible 401 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 10: evidence comes forward, he wants the American people to see it. 402 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,719 Speaker 3: I haven't they always I haven't seen it. If anything 403 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 3: comes forward, I'll let you know, or we'll look into it, 404 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 3: or it's. 405 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: Like come on again. 406 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just so preposterous, and it just shows 407 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,719 Speaker 3: us that either they don't want to know, or they 408 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 3: do know and. 409 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: Then alying to us. I'm not really sure which one 410 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: is worse. 411 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 3: I guess theoretically, plausible deniability a tale as old as time. 412 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: Right, you're in Washington, but you know you put all 413 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: this stuff together. 414 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 3: Also with the Wall Street I should know, by the way, 415 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 3: multiple other outlets reported it, and the White House is 416 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 3: not even really denying the conversation took place. 417 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: Let's make that clear as well. They're like, yeah, we know. 418 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 3: And their defense is, oh, you know, they knew each 419 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 3: other at a certain time, they had a falling out 420 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,959 Speaker 3: and that's the extent. Okay, fine. I mean, even according 421 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 3: to the Journal, they're like, hey man, it's not like 422 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 3: you're implicated in any wrongdoing here. Your name is in 423 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 3: here along with hundreds of other people. 424 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: It's like, okay, fine. Then released it. 425 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 3: But clearly Trump is either afraid as that even those 426 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 3: breadcrumbs as to what it will all lead to, that's 427 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 3: very possible. The intelligence angle, by the way, I still 428 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 3: think it's a very very very plausible one beyond his 429 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 3: own personal motivations. And if you just put the totality 430 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 3: of the way that all of the original statements from 431 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 3: the Trump administration now aligned with where we are today, 432 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 3: it just tells you nothing but cover up. I mean, 433 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 3: Pam BONDI thousands of hours of footage, all of these files, 434 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 3: hundreds of FBI agents, et cetera. Remember there was a 435 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 3: statement from Dick Durbin, who the senator from Illinois, I 436 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 3: think he's on the Judiciary Committee in the Senate, and 437 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 3: he put out a statement saying, hey, we were told 438 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 3: by FBI agents to flag when Donald Trump's name was 439 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 3: in the files. But now it kind of makes sense, right, 440 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 3: because this is part of probably why they were coming 441 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 3: to Trump just be like, hey, just don't you know, 442 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 3: you know your name is in here, But that is 443 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 3: all just it's such a massive conflict of interest and 444 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 3: for people, you know, the streisand effect of this story 445 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 3: now is unbelievable. 446 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: It's one of the top stories in the country. I'm 447 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: not joking. 448 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 3: If you look at Google traffic, and if especially if 449 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 3: you look at people who are quote a political or 450 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 3: you know, kind of online, a lot of them probably 451 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 3: voted for Trump and may not necessarily consider themselves maga. 452 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 3: They're really starting to break for you know, if you 453 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 3: want evidence, the QAnon shaman has now broken with Donald Trump. 454 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: It said, this beats his shit. 455 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 3: Just saying it all right, Listen, you could say whether 456 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 3: or not, you know, I mean, he's stormed the capital, 457 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 3: you know, on behalf of Donald Trump. I think it's 458 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 3: a constituency of some sort for these types of people. 459 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: He was a hero, you know, if you'll recall. 460 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 3: So I'm just saying, yeah, all these types of people, 461 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 3: this is a very important story is not going away. 462 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 2: Well, and I think it's it's really the first time 463 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 2: I can think of where all of Trump's go to 464 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: tactics are just really not working. Yeah, you know, he's 465 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 2: normally so good at being able to change the conversation 466 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 2: and get us chasing after something else than having to 467 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 2: deal with someone. 468 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 4: And obviously he's trying. 469 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 2: I mean I've seen the lists of like all the 470 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 2: attempted distractions, the cane sugar and the coke and the 471 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 2: Rosi o'donald should be denaturalized and loser citizenship and you know, 472 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: the now we've got the Obama Gates stuff, the MLK 473 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 2: files and whatever, and it's like, Nope, people are still 474 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 2: focused on this. And it's so obvious too what he's 475 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 2: trying to do. That not to say that the right 476 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 2: isn't interested in the Russia Gates stuff and whatever. We're 477 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 2: going to cover it in the show, but it is 478 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 2: not throwing people off of this particular case, especially as 479 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 2: the story just continues to drip drip drip. 480 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 4: Drip continues to develop. 481 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 2: And then the other thing is, and you and I 482 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 2: were talking about this a little bit before we started 483 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 2: the show, like, I don't think Rupert Murdoch is the 484 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 2: type of media figure who's just gonna be terrified and 485 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 2: and you know, run away from the case because of 486 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 2: the threat of a lawsuit. You know, Trump is already okay, 487 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 2: he's already played that card. He said he threatened them 488 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 2: before they publish their birthday card scoop. He threatened them, 489 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 2: said this is absolutely fake. I will sue you, I 490 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 2: will ruin you, et cetera. They went forward with it anyway, 491 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 2: and so he's already played that card with them. And 492 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: then that's the other thing that's significant about this coming 493 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 2: out in the Wall Street Journal after that initial scoop 494 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 2: is it's sort of, you know, a message to him 495 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 2: too of like, Okay, well we're gonna keep out like 496 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: you're not slowing us down. Yeah, let's play, let's go. 497 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 2: I'm not afraid we're moving in this direction. And Murdoch, obviously, 498 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 2: you know, has all media empire, including Fox News, including 499 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal, including the New York Post, all of 500 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 2: which are incredibly important and influential. And I think he 501 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 2: also is someone who does not see Trump as being 502 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 2: bigger than him. 503 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 3: Murdock always hated Trump or in a secret way like 504 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 3: they despise him. It's it is an alliance of convenience 505 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 3: at the very best. Trump both fears and respects of 506 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 3: Rupert Murdoch and vice versa. 507 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 6: Right. 508 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,439 Speaker 3: But the thing is people need to understand about Murdock 509 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 3: is and I was reading from Dylan Byers. He works 510 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 3: at POG He's one of the best, like true inside 511 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 3: the room media journalists, and he pointed this out. If 512 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 3: you look at the previous settlements ABC settles with Donald Trump, 513 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 3: why they were gonna win. There's no question that they 514 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 3: were going to win the George Stephanopolis case. Why do 515 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 3: they settle because ABC is owned by Disney. Bob Iger 516 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 3: is like, look, sixteen million, and I get to keep 517 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 3: my theme park permits which print hundreds of millions of 518 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 3: dollars a year. Easy trade, right, even because they don't 519 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 3: care about journalism. They care about business. CBS owned by Paramount, 520 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,479 Speaker 3: which needs to merge with Skydance, which needs the FTC 521 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 3: and the FCC to approve their merger. Yeah, sixteen million 522 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 3: is nothing for a multi billion dollar deal. Sherry Redstone 523 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 3: has been trying to offload this shit for years. She's like, 524 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 3: I will pay anything to get rid of this. Oh 525 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 3: and by the way, she's super pro Israel, so at 526 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: the same time she's like, I don't care whatever, let's 527 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 3: make a deal. Murdoch, people forget this. He sold the 528 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 3: bulk of the Fox empire, the Fox Networks and all 529 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 3: the other stuff years ago, and he sold it to Disney. 530 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 3: He doesn't need the regulators nearly as much. He still 531 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 3: owns Fox, still owns News Corp. 532 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: That's basically it. A lot of his personal empire has 533 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:39,479 Speaker 1: been offload. 534 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 3: He's sitting on a shitload of cash as well as 535 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 3: as foreign media empire. He doesn't need the same regulatory approval. Now, Listen, 536 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 3: the FCC can make life miserable for anybody. So I'm 537 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 3: not saying it's theoretically possible. But also what Dylan said, 538 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 3: if you note inside the lawsuit that Trump filed, it 539 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 3: specifically doesn't go after Fox News, It actually doesn't touch 540 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 3: Fox News very carefully. It was crafted to make sure 541 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 3: it only goes after Murdoch, the two journalists, and others. 542 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 3: Another thing is is that Trump may actually have filed 543 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 3: the lawsuit in such a way that it will require 544 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 3: immediately dismissal. Because Florida law basically requires that you have 545 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 3: to wait like five days or something after a story 546 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 3: to be published to actually publish to file suit. They 547 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 3: did it obviously before the five days was up. They 548 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 3: may have actually crafted the lawsuit in a way where 549 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 3: it will require dismissal and then both sides can claim victory. 550 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 3: So it may be possible that they knew it was 551 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 3: a fake lawsuit from the very beginning. It was all posturing. 552 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 3: And also what I mean, let's think about the implication here. 553 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 3: Trump would literally have to sit as President of the 554 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 3: United States for a deposition. 555 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: For hours about Jeffrey his relationship. 556 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 3: With deposition you really want to go through with that? 557 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 3: And then Murdoch zero, it's not happening. 558 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: You're not happening. 559 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Like the risk for Trump is exponential, the 560 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 3: risk for Murdoch is not that high. He's sitting on 561 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 3: forty or fifty billion dollars and he's ninety four years old. 562 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: And by the way, he loves to fight. 563 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 3: As you can look at all of his past wreck 564 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 3: I really recommend people go and look at some of 565 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 3: the past legal broiling. This guy has gotten himself into 566 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 3: here in the UK and in Australia. This is what 567 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 3: animates them, you know. And so I put that all together. 568 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 3: I'm not saying Murdoch may not settle. He may do 569 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 3: it just to basically bribe Trump. Maybe Trump will say 570 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 3: no more Trump administration officials on Fox News. 571 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: I don't think so. 572 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 3: They need each other. It's a symbiotic relationship. So anyway, 573 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 3: I'm betting on Rupert. 574 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:36,719 Speaker 9: On this one. 575 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 2: I really well, Like I said, I think the fact 576 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 2: that they published this scoop so soon after the original one, 577 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 2: it really does send a message of like, we don't care. 578 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 4: Go ahead, we don't buy. 579 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 2: That you and your fake threats that this is any 580 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 2: sort of a real risk for us, and we're proceeding. 581 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 2: There are a couple other details that are worth pulling 582 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 2: out in this Wall Street Journal piece that were interesting 583 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 2: as well. First of all, they had some details about 584 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 2: Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi. 585 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 4: Fighting, so let me read this section. 586 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 2: They say that Bongino has told colleagues his association with 587 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 2: the administration's decision to keep the files private has eroded 588 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 2: his credibility among the basive support that fueled his rise 589 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 2: as a successful podcaster and media personality on the right. 590 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 2: So he's concerned that this is all damaging his brand 591 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 2: as a podcaster, which is important thing for high level 592 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 2: FBI official to be worried about. Bongino did not respond 593 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 2: to request for comments. They also have these details of 594 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 2: this fight. So on July ninth, they say, after ABC 595 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 2: News reach out to the White House about Bondi's briefing 596 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 2: to the President, Bongino and Bondi clashed in a meeting 597 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 2: in which Bondi alleged Bongino was secretly providing information to 598 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 2: the media to damage her reputation. Bongino in term exploded 599 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 2: about Bondi his face read and called her a liar. 600 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 2: A senior administration official said, they also have some details 601 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 2: in here about FBI Director Cash Battel, who apparently is 602 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 2: privately going around and spreading the information, gossiping about the 603 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 2: fact that Trump's name is in the file. So this 604 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 2: is becoming common knowledge, you know, in DC, and so 605 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 2: no surprise that Elon. 606 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: You know, I think almost certainly the source of where 607 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: Elon came from. 608 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 3: And it makes sense because FBI director was the one 609 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 3: who gave the order to the agents to all Remember 610 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 3: they said hundreds of agents and said, hey, guys, flag 611 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 3: anything there that's in Donald Trump. 612 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, look, I mean, nobody can deny this. 613 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 3: The actions of the administration are so unbelievably sketchy now 614 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 3: at this point that you know, I don't even know 615 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 3: how they dig themselves out of it again other than 616 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 3: a full release. 617 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: But even at that. 618 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 3: Point, there's just going to be so much scrutiny, so 619 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 3: much requirement for transparency to say, what the hell are 620 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 3: you guys hiding? You have nobody to blame but yourselves. 621 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 3: Let's go to the second part here, because this is 622 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 3: equally important, kind of gets to the whole cover up situation. 623 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: Can't say you weren't warned here on this show. Let's 624 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: put it up there on the screen. 625 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 3: The judge lo and Behold has denied Donald Trump's request 626 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 3: to release the Epstein transcripts in Florida. This is the 627 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 3: grand jury transcripts that are relating to the Epstein case. 628 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 3: You'll remember previously that they had said, quote that the 629 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 3: court said its hands were tied because she could not 630 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 3: release the files from the grand jury convene because transcripts 631 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 3: are quote typically kept secret except in very narrow circumstances, 632 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 3: and that the Department was not requesting the transcript for 633 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 3: use in a judicial proceeding, which actually would have opened 634 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 3: the pathway to disclose the jury records. So, I mean, 635 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 3: this is where a lot of the ways that these 636 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,479 Speaker 3: you know, a lot of the way in which they 637 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 3: even like said that they were going to request the transcripts, 638 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 3: it was obvious basically from the beginning that it was 639 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 3: almost certainly likely to fail just moving through the court system. 640 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 3: It just gets to this whole fakery about what the 641 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 3: Epstein files are like. It's in the irs in the 642 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 3: Treasury data and inside of the FBI, which you have 643 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 3: executive purview. You don't need no judge to release any 644 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 3: of that. You can release all of it yourself. If 645 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 3: you want to look at the MLK files, right, you 646 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 3: can release all of this data three to two s etc. 647 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: For the public interest. 648 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 3: There's direct you know, executive uh, there's executive purview for 649 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 3: all of this. 650 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: You have that ability today. 651 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 3: You don't be putting this on some judge, and especially 652 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 3: here the grand jury documents. Part of the reason why 653 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 3: I said even that would be dramatically insufficient is that 654 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 3: those grand jury documents and transcripts are specifically about the 655 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 3: narrowly tailored charges against Epstein, which only involve him and 656 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 3: the sex traffic allegations against him. It doesn't get to 657 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 3: any of the broader implication. Senator Ron Wyden, who, by 658 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,719 Speaker 3: the way, you gotta give credit to the guy's been 659 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 3: working on this story for multiple years now at this point, 660 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 3: so you know, long before it was convenient. He literally said, 661 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 3: I personally looked at Treasury documents which show one point 662 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 3: five billion dollars suspicious activity reports that were filed after 663 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 3: Epstein's death. 664 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: One point five. 665 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 3: Billion dollars in wire transfers from the richest and most 666 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 3: powerful people in the world, also connected to sex trafficking 667 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 3: rings all across the world, including Eastern Europe. That fits 668 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 3: with the New York Financial Services document. The government has 669 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 3: it in its ability to release that document, those documents 670 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 3: today if they want to. 671 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: Where is it? 672 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 3: You know, this is what I'm getting at in terms 673 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 3: of the they're trying to fool the public with stunts 674 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 3: like this, and genuinely is very important for people who 675 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 3: are interested in this to be able to parse and 676 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 3: say and say like, oh, Trump tried, no he didn't. Okay, 677 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 3: this was guaranteed to fail basically from day one. And 678 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 3: you know, it's a stunt. There's no other way to 679 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 3: put it. It's a stunt. 680 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 2: And you know what, if they had pulled this stunt first, yeah, 681 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 2: then fine, then yeah, not fine. 682 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 4: But I think people would have bought it more. 683 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: I think you're right, would have been like, oh, we're. 684 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 4: Trying and the courts of standing in our way in 685 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 4: these liberal Marxist judges blah blah blah. 686 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 2: And by the way, there's still a question of whether 687 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 2: the Grandeuri transcripts from Manhattan will be released but that 688 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 2: judges also already said basically like, my hands are tied 689 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 2: unless they provide additional submissions and rationale for why we 690 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 2: would do that. So listen, this is very very very 691 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 2: unlikely to happen, and even if it did happen, what 692 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 2: it would provide would not be the quote unquote Epstein files. 693 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 2: But you know, the Ron Widen thing is actually really important. 694 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 2: And this is the thing that Julie K. Brown, who 695 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 2: has been focused on this case down in Miami for 696 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 2: years and years at this point, this is what she 697 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,959 Speaker 2: always says. I heard her interview with rosstauthat over at 698 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 2: the New York Times. She said, I've always insisted that 699 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 2: the government has tried too hard to rely on the 700 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 2: victims to build the case instead of following the money. 701 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 4: She's like, if you really. 702 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 2: Want to know what was truly going on here, follow 703 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 2: the money. And that's why the Ron Widen piece is 704 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 2: so important. 705 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: I've said it here too, and that's why it's just 706 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: it's so preposterous. The money. It is the center of 707 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: the Epstein store because that's where the arms. 708 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 3: Trafficking stuff comes in, his connections with Maxwell, all of 709 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 3: his fake wealth, the you know, the Leslie Westerner stuff. 710 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: And it's because of the money. It's because of what 711 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: I believe. 712 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 3: What I believe is work with these intelligence assets is 713 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 3: what leads to the sweetheart deal of the non prosecution. 714 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 3: It's not that the government was running the quote blackmail 715 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 3: ring or whatever. It's not the government was, you know, 716 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 3: running his sex trafficking operation. It's that when he got 717 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 3: in trouble for that, they're like, all right, guys, we're 718 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 3: gonna help this go away. There are documented instances of 719 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 3: this going back, you know, for decades. Multiple times CIA 720 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 3: officers and others have been let off for sex crimes 721 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 3: because they don't want to release sources and methods. The 722 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 3: actual financial documents and others I believe would show a 723 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 3: vast array of sketchy financial transactions which have basically no 724 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 3: other explanation other than intelligence. 725 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 4: Yeah where did where did all the money come from? 726 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 6: Well? 727 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, And who did it go on to go to? 728 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: And for what purposes? Why was it all offshore? 729 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 6: You know? 730 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: Why did all these banks just look the other way? 731 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: This is this is the story. 732 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 3: And yeah, you're right, I'm glad that Julie K. Brown 733 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 3: continue used to beat that drum as well, because that 734 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 3: is the beating heart of why you're allowed to get 735 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 3: away with everything. And also I think that's what would 736 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 3: implicate way more. And this is where look, I mean, 737 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 3: no offense is Donald Trump, but he's not actually even 738 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 3: all that wealthy compared to the people who were actually, 739 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 3: wait now, I was gonna say it now, but at 740 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 3: that time, that's when he's filing for bankruptcy and all 741 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 3: of that dealing in the nineteen eighties with the Atlantic 742 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 3: City and all that, he didn't actually have the chops 743 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 3: to be dealing at the highest levels of global finance. 744 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: The people who did, they have a lot to lose 745 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: if those files. 746 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 2: And I think it was Mark Epstein, Jeffrey's brother, who 747 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 2: said that Trump always wanted to fly on Jeffrey's plane. 748 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 2: They wanted to say again, yeah, So you know, I 749 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 2: think probably the seven times on his plane is probably 750 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 2: an understatement because remember they were basically neighbors in Palm Beach, 751 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 2: lived like a mile away from Manchester, and then you know, 752 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 2: obviously they were they were in Manhattan together as well, 753 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 2: So a lot to pull back there. Trump says, though soccer, 754 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 2: this is all coin great for him, and his approval 755 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 2: rating has never been higher, and take a listen to that. 756 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 7: We've achieved incredible things in a very short period of time. 757 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 7: And then polling released just last week, it was announced 758 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 7: that the approval for Congressional Democrats under Hakim Jefferies has 759 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 7: reached the lowest ever recorded nineteen percent. And Republicans are 760 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,399 Speaker 7: doing well, and I have the best numbers I've ever had. 761 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,879 Speaker 7: You know, it's amazing. I watched people on television, well, 762 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 7: what about Donald Trump's polling numbers? Hat that the best 763 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,720 Speaker 7: numbers I've ever had. And with this made up hoax 764 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 7: that they're talking about, my numbers have gone up four 765 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 7: and five points. It's they want to do anything to 766 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 7: get us off the subject of making America great again, and. 767 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 9: We're not going to put up with it. 768 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 7: And remember, don't let them forget it's so important. Obama 769 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:55,320 Speaker 7: cheated on the election. Look, the camera just went off, Obama, 770 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 7: the red lighte just went off. Can you believe these 771 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 7: people are bad? 772 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 2: They are so Obviously, approval rating is not going up, 773 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 2: although it is important to have parts these things, because 774 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,919 Speaker 2: the polls that have come out so far do show 775 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,439 Speaker 2: that with his base, his numbers have stayed the same 776 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 2: or gone up I mean all within the margin of error. 777 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 2: But he certainly hasn't fallen off with like Trump supporting 778 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 2: MAGA based self identifying Republican voters. His numbers haven't fallen 779 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 2: off at all. If anything, they have actually gone up. 780 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 2: But Harry Enton broke down the numbers of how his 781 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 2: approval rating is actually doing at this point overall. 782 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 4: Let's take a listit to that. 783 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 5: Look. 784 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 8: He started off back in January plus six points on 785 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 8: the net approf rating, minus three in March, minus seven May, 786 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 8: and now he's at a term too low at minus 787 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 8: eleven points. His net approval rating has dropped nearly twenty 788 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 8: points in the aggregate since the beginning of his presidency. 789 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: Is he's underwater on all the major issues of the day? 790 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 8: Trump's net approval rating on all the major issues minus 791 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 8: five points. In immigration is best issue, he's underwater. How 792 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 8: about the economy that was what he was elected for? 793 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,479 Speaker 8: Minus fourteen points, how about four and posse minus fourteen points, 794 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 8: how about trade and those terrorforce minus fifteen points, and 795 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,760 Speaker 8: of course the Epstein case the lowest of the bunch 796 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 8: minus thirty seven points. I do have one piece of 797 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 8: good news for Donald Trump, and that there is one 798 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 8: other presidency that has a lower net approval rating at 799 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 8: this point than this one. The bad news is that 800 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 8: it was Donald Trump's other presidency. His first presidency net 801 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 8: approval rating six months and the worst was in twenty 802 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 8: seventeen donald Trump was sixteen points underwater. The second worst, however, 803 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,760 Speaker 8: is this Donald Trump presidency eleven points underwater. The average 804 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 8: president at this point since nineteen hundred and fifty three 805 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 8: has a plus twenty seven net approval rating. 806 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 9: So there you go. 807 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 2: That's the reality of where he actually is. I mean, 808 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 2: with regard to the base numbers. I was talking you 809 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 2: a little bit about this before, but look, I'm sorry. 810 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 4: The liberals were right. It is a cult. 811 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 2: And I see this as sort of whether it's an 812 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,359 Speaker 2: intentional or unintentional, it's basically a test for his base, 813 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 2: like will you stay with me even as these sort 814 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 2: of like core central mythology of Maga and trump Ism, 815 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 2: even as that is completely blown apart, and it does. 816 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 2: It reminds me of the you know, grabber by the 817 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 2: P word moment. It reminds me of these like doomsday 818 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 2: cults that you know, the day that the world is 819 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 2: supposed to end comes and goes and you would think 820 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,439 Speaker 2: that faced with this evidence that like you've been lyed 821 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,720 Speaker 2: to and this is all ridiculous and low and behold, 822 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 2: you're in a cult that people go with sort of 823 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,800 Speaker 2: snap out of it and go about their lives. 824 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 4: And some of them do. 825 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,320 Speaker 2: But many of times what happens is they actually, because 826 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 2: they've dedicated so much of their life and their being, 827 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 2: their identity this, they. 828 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 4: Double down on it. 829 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 2: And there's some rationalization of, oh, well, actually, God has 830 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 2: given us another chance to recruit more members to are call. 831 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 2: There's some rationalization that's spun. Why didn't happen this time? 832 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 2: But now you have to believe even harder, and when 833 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 2: you look at the numbers just among his base, that 834 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,919 Speaker 2: process is unfolding right now as we speak. 835 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,839 Speaker 3: I don't disagree. I mean, I just don't think it's 836 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 3: all that unique, I guess. I mean, it's one of 837 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 3: those where let's think about Russiagate, right, I mean, I mean, 838 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,320 Speaker 3: we're going to talk about Russigate later, put the actual 839 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 3: thing and all that aside. 840 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: I mean, even at the after. 841 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 3: The release of the MULA report, the vast majority of 842 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 3: the Democratic base still believe that Russia stole the election 843 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 3: and directly influenced the vote count in twenty sixteen. 844 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,360 Speaker 1: Bullshit, but they still believed it. 845 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 3: If you look at the cult around a lot of 846 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 3: political figures, Obama is probably a good example. 847 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 1: I mean, you have somebody who literally ran on well. 848 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 3: I mean, I think his approval rating with the Democratic 849 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 3: Party never suffered a significant blow up until the day 850 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 3: that he left office, and in fact, his affinity at 851 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 3: this point is still one of the highest within the 852 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 3: party right. And so I mean that kind of is 853 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 3: unfortunately a deep part of the American system. But this 854 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 3: is why I do think that the base argument is 855 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 3: an irrelevant one, because the base doesn't matter. Bases always 856 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 3: stick together, they always are cultish in their support of 857 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,840 Speaker 3: political parties. If Obama had the Democratic base in his pocket, 858 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 3: or the Democrats had their base in their pocket, then 859 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,839 Speaker 3: they would have won the election. They did not win 860 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 3: the election. Why because there are independents. There are other 861 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 3: people who still vote, especially in these lower or in 862 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:11,280 Speaker 3: these higher turnout elections like presidential elections. And that ultimately 863 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 3: is how Donald Trump came to the Oval office. I mean, 864 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 3: the MAGA base is not going to win you the 865 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 3: state of Pennsylvania. The MAGA base is not going to 866 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 3: win you Georgia. It's not gonna win you, Michigan, it's 867 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 3: not gonna win you, Wisconsin. It's not gonna win you 868 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 3: North Carolina, Nevada. I could go on Arizona. Right, it's 869 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 3: the swing two to three percent. Go look at the 870 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 3: margins in PA. It's not like it was a blowout. 871 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,799 Speaker 3: It was like one percent that he won the state. 872 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,800 Speaker 3: Those are the people that matter. I think this is 873 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 3: an important moment for them, and that's part of why 874 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 3: I get frustrated with the conbo because, yeah, political bases 875 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,359 Speaker 3: are buying large cults. Now Trump, I'm not going to deny. Okay, 876 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,760 Speaker 3: the guy is unique for sure, Like within the context 877 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 3: of all he has. 878 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 2: I think I think Obama is probably the closest analog. 879 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 2: But I still think. 880 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 3: Trump is unique, and you're in my lifetime, He's the 881 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 3: closest analog. I'm trying to think about it. Reagan actually 882 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,280 Speaker 3: came pretty close in terms of his cult. 883 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 2: With the because I was young when Reagan and you 884 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,320 Speaker 2: weren't even alive, So it's hard for me to like 885 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 2: have a real sensitive Well, I've read her. 886 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 3: People should read the Nixon Land books that kind of 887 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 3: go into the rhyme of Reagan. That's it's important. I mean, 888 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 3: he was the most beloved figure in the Republican Party 889 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 3: before Donald J. 890 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: Trump. 891 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean I sort of feel like though 892 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 2: his mythology was almost more after the fact, though. 893 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 3: In some part, I mean, he's still very popular and 894 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 3: they left. I'm trying to actually, Okay, let's put it 895 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 3: this way. 896 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 1: FDR. 897 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 3: FDR is probably the most analogous example. Or JFK is 898 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 3: another one where you know, even after he died in 899 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 3: the nineteen eighties, he'd walk into a Boston coffee shop 900 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,359 Speaker 3: or something, there'd be a picture of JFK up there 901 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 3: with the Saint Metal or. 902 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: Something like that. That's that's a cult, Okay. I mean 903 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: he was a market too, is fair? Yeah, JK amongst Catholic. 904 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 3: I'm just saying that type of stuff is I wouldn't 905 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,320 Speaker 3: say normal, but you know, it rhymes throughout American history. 906 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 3: But that's not enough to win elections. To win elections, 907 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 3: you still have to appeal to a broad enough, you 908 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 3: know base. This is probably a good segue to our 909 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,720 Speaker 3: Nelk Boys segment, because that is a watershed cultural moment 910 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 3: for the future of the country and for a lot 911 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,760 Speaker 3: of these people who did vote for Donald Trump, putting 912 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 3: NELK the guys out of it. 913 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: I'm talking about young people. 914 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 3: Remember young men specifically broke hard for Trump in the 915 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,840 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four election. 916 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: Now will they come out to vote again? 917 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 3: Nobody knows, all right, I think so, especially people, especially 918 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 3: age that gain some you know, grasp in society. They 919 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 3: start to and I think this NLK boy's moment is 920 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 3: a very important one for I think both in the 921 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 3: Israel conversation, but really politically and media wise as well. 922 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,760 Speaker 3: So it's been let's transition here. Now the NELK boys 923 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 3: continue to talk both about the details of their interview 924 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 3: with Bibing Yahoo, but more importantly the incredible amount of 925 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,320 Speaker 3: remorse that they show that they have never done before. 926 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,799 Speaker 1: Remember, these guys have had on Trump. They had Trump 927 00:41:58,840 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: on in twenty twenty. 928 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 3: I remember when their episode got taken down after he 929 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,799 Speaker 3: was talking about, you know, the stolen election or whatever 930 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 3: they had on canvas. They've had, They've had on all 931 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 3: the most controversial people. They've never apologized. And yet this 932 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,840 Speaker 3: time the level of freak out from their own audience 933 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 3: and within their own cohort is such that they are 934 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:23,239 Speaker 3: doing public Maya culpas. Here we have Kyle from the 935 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 3: Milk Boys basically not only expressing remorse, but saying he 936 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,760 Speaker 3: would have changed everything about the way. 937 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 1: That he did his interview with Beebie. Let's take a listen. 938 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 6: I wish we could go back in time and fucking 939 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,319 Speaker 6: grill him a thousand times harder. And we just went 940 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 6: in there fucking unequipped to fucking interview him. We have 941 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,800 Speaker 6: a lot of Muslim friends. We fucking we've been to 942 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 6: fucking Dagistan. We all know what's in our hearts. We 943 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 6: don't hate anybody. We're not taking sides in this shit. 944 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 6: We love everybody. I'm sleeping great because I know how 945 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,360 Speaker 6: I actually feel on the inside. So and I know 946 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 6: a lot of you guys are fucking and this is 947 00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 6: not an apology. 948 00:42:58,760 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 5: This is just. 949 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 9: We fucking walked in. 950 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 6: There and we weren't fucking ready for it, man, and 951 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 6: we were just we walked in there uneducated, and I 952 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 6: can admit that. 953 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,320 Speaker 9: But life goes on. 954 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 6: There's nothing you could do. 955 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 1: It's an apology. 956 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 4: He's sleeping great.

We tried our very best to ask 1018 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 6: some questions, but I think I liked the questions. 1019 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:16,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, so we tried our pet but we had this script. Now, look, 1020 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,320 Speaker 3: I will defend them in a certain respect.

You're just like, oh, thank you. 1026 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 3: And you just you know, put it off or whatever 1027 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,840 Speaker 3: to the side. But you know, I was prepared. I 1028 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,560 Speaker 3: had a list of questions that actually wanted to ask. 1029 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 3: And it's like, brother, I don't think. 1030 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,440 Speaker 1: You asked the questions that you wanted to ask. 1031 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 9: And that's the problem. 1032 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 4: It's not like it's not like he was like, yeah, 1033 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,719 Speaker 4: they gave us a script in the trash. 1034 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 1: We had no He's like, well, we we didn't like yeah. 1035 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 3: And it also gets to the preconditions, right, so when 1036 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:55,360 Speaker 3: you walk in there, so for example, they're like, oh, 1037 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 3: we weren't allowed to touch anything. 1038 00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 1: Everything was set up. There's twenty guys in the room. 1039 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 3: It basically sounds like what happened is that the Israeli 1040 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:07,400 Speaker 3: and White House set this The Israeli government and the 1041 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,359 Speaker 3: White House set this interview up. Yeah, they were like, sure, 1042 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:15,399 Speaker 3: no problem. They didn't give any conditions. They didn't ask 1043 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:16,800 Speaker 3: for the ability to ask. 1044 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:17,680 Speaker 1: For whatever they want. 1045 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,160 Speaker 3: Apparently, you know, the whole set is there. By the way, 1046 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,040 Speaker 3: why they're twenty people in the room. That's fucking crazy. 1047 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 3: I would never agree to an interview like that, it's 1048 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 3: insane to have all these people in there. They didn't 1049 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 3: exert any of like the interviewer's prerogative in my opinion. Yeah, 1050 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 3: and then you put all that together now with what 1051 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 3: we're about to show you, which is that they were 1052 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,720 Speaker 3: basically used as useful idiots here by the White House. 1053 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 3: This was revealed when Hassan started talking with the Nelk 1054 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 3: boys about the exact circumstances. 1055 00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 1: And here's what they had to say. 1056 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 9: All right, so you guys interviewed the. 1057 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 11: Incarnate Benjamin in Yahoo and now everybody's yelling at you guys. 1058 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 9: Okay, So, first and foremost, who the fuck set that up? 1059 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,239 Speaker 12: Some communications team at the White House hit us up, 1060 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 12: connected us with communications team, and presented us the opportunity 1061 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 12: to do it, but with the full time podcast Hater 1062 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,879 Speaker 12: to Love It right or wrong. If we ever get 1063 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,759 Speaker 12: the opportunity to have a controversial guest on, we're never 1064 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,680 Speaker 12: going to turn it down because, in my opinion, what 1065 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,400 Speaker 12: we want to do with a full time podcast on 1066 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,440 Speaker 12: is we're not afraid to have controversial people on. We're 1067 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,839 Speaker 12: gonna ask some questions. Sure, we're probably not the best 1068 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,960 Speaker 12: at asking questions. We're not the best journalists never claimed 1069 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,719 Speaker 12: to be, so we might not be the best at 1070 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,200 Speaker 12: pressing them. But in my opinion, it's it's up to 1071 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,439 Speaker 12: the viewer to form their own educated opinion. Just because 1072 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 12: we have someone on, we're sitting beside someone, people are 1073 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,640 Speaker 12: gonna be like, oh my god, noaks with them, Like 1074 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:34,880 Speaker 12: I love this person. 1075 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 11: My question is do you feel like there is a 1076 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 11: culpability that you have because like, look, Donald Trump is 1077 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:45,120 Speaker 11: a contentious figure, and obviously he's responsible for a metric 1078 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 11: ton of pain and violence as well, but so was 1079 00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 11: every other American president. 1080 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:49,359 Speaker 9: That's one thing. 1081 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,800 Speaker 11: But Benjamin Nyaho is like unique in the sense that 1082 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 11: he's also a foreign leader because he's getting something out 1083 00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,160 Speaker 11: of this, right, he's getting something out of this where 1084 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,880 Speaker 11: he gets to, I guess, like try and humanize himself. 1085 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 5: That's the thing. 1086 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 12: That's honest.

It's not gonna go well, 1137 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 3: like for anybody even who has a quote, you know, 1138 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,799 Speaker 3: neutral stance or whatever, who's prepared with information. 1139 00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,640 Speaker 1: And that's the part that just gets me so hard 1140 00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:21,400 Speaker 1: with this now thing. 1141 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,879 Speaker 2: They said something, they say something else interesting there, which 1142 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 2: I think is very illustrative of their mindset. They're like, 1143 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 2: we'll have on any controversial figure, like they see him 1144 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,120 Speaker 2: as in the same lane as like candae O Weathers 1145 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 2: or like you know, Nick Fuentes or whatever, like they 1146 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,760 Speaker 2: see him in that same bucket. And I was watching 1147 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,319 Speaker 2: arm Brown, who has a YouTube channels comedian, his take 1148 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 2: on this, and he was like, in their brains there 1149 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,239 Speaker 2: were two types of people, people who get clicks and 1150 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,480 Speaker 2: people who don't get clicks. And in their view was like, Oh, 1151 00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 2: this is someone who it's like the ultimate example of 1152 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:56,560 Speaker 2: content brain sure, and it's like, you know, I think 1153 00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,360 Speaker 2: I think either Adam Friedlin or Hassan Piker said this 1154 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,960 Speaker 2: to them too. They're like, not everything is content, Like 1155 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 2: not everything is just about generating clicks and getting eyeballs 1156 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,399 Speaker 2: and stoking some sort of controversy. So you're the center 1157 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,440 Speaker 2: of attention, like some things actually matter. This man is 1158 00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,400 Speaker 2: doing a genocide right now, in real time, with the 1159 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,680 Speaker 2: support of our government, and you are not equipped at all. 1160 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,480 Speaker 2: You acknowledge you are not equipped at all to actually 1161 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,480 Speaker 2: know what's going on and be able to ask him 1162 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 2: intelligent questions or even more importantly, ask intelligent follow ups 1163 00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:27,360 Speaker 2: when he lies to your face, as he did multiple times. 1164 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,400 Speaker 2: And so I think That's what this comes down to, 1165 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,320 Speaker 2: is like this incredibly a moral view of the world 1166 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,440 Speaker 2: where it's just about like, who's going to get eyeballs 1167 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,840 Speaker 2: to my channel. This will be hot, hot topic, this 1168 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 2: will get me attention, this will get eyeballs to my channel. 1169 00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,719 Speaker 2: Therefore I'm going to do it. I'll sit down with 1170 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,520 Speaker 2: any controversial figure. That's what they say, as if this 1171 00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 2: is just you know, some podcast or somebody like, you know, 1172 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 2: trying to sell some merch or sell a book or whatever. 1173 00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,000 Speaker 2: And not to say those things aren't consequential as well, 1174 00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,200 Speaker 2: but this is so different. This is on such a 1175 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,880 Speaker 2: different scale, and so I hope that it's a cautionary 1176 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 2: tale because this did not go well for them. I mean, 1177 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,359 Speaker 2: their own audience, their subcount has gone down somewhat, their 1178 00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:14,320 Speaker 2: own audience completely revolted against them. I haven't seen anyone 1179 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,120 Speaker 2: come out and say I haven't even seen the Israeli 1180 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 2: Like they're humiliating, like, oh. 1181 00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,440 Speaker 3: This was great, and you guys they compared him to 1182 00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,160 Speaker 3: Adolf Hitler afterwards, in what world did that go well 1183 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:24,520 Speaker 3: for you? 1184 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:24,960 Speaker 8: Great? 1185 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,680 Speaker 2: Like in their post in their post interview Spin, they're like, yeah, 1186 00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 2: you're somebody wrote in and was like, yeah, you just 1187 00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,920 Speaker 2: interviewed modern day Adolf Hitler, and he's like, yeah, you 1188 00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:35,960 Speaker 2: kind of got a point there. 1189 00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,320 Speaker 4: So it's just no one is defending this. 1190 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,279 Speaker 2: Let this be a cautionary tale of like, if you're 1191 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,560 Speaker 2: going to play in these waters. 1192 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 4: Number one, you could bring someone in you could have 1193 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:47,400 Speaker 4: as a condition for the interview. 1194 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,879 Speaker 2: I need to have whoever it is that you trust 1195 00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,719 Speaker 2: that you think is insightful on this to ask them 1196 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,480 Speaker 2: real questions. You know, I'm going to have this person 1197 00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:55,799 Speaker 2: in the room to I'll do it, but we're going 1198 00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 2: to have this person. 1199 00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,040 Speaker 4: In the room too, or just don't do it. 1200 00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:03,160 Speaker 2: That would have been infinitely superior to this absolute mess 1201 00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:04,600 Speaker 2: for yourselves and for the world. 1202 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,200 Speaker 3: I think it was a good turning point, though in 1203 00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,879 Speaker 3: the culture of I think it could be too. Let's 1204 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,000 Speaker 3: put this final one up here. This is from Mike Sternovich. 1205 00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,360 Speaker 3: I actually thought it was very insightful. And what he 1206 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,240 Speaker 3: says is the NLK boys, who were widely popular with Zoomers, 1207 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,320 Speaker 3: far more than any political or MAGA influencer, had on Netsagna, 1208 00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 3: who in their audience is furious nets on Ya, who 1209 00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:22,000 Speaker 3: is deeply hated. 1210 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,239 Speaker 1: We are talking ninety ten hated more so than even 1211 00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:24,840 Speaker 1: I realized. 1212 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,799 Speaker 3: He actually followed it up with if you spend time 1213 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 3: on Twitter, you would think it's like sixty forty and 1214 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,680 Speaker 3: he's like, no, guys, it's ninety ten. And in fact, 1215 00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,319 Speaker 3: if you look at the like dislike ratio on the video, 1216 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 3: I mean, look to be fair, East can be brigaded. 1217 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:41,320 Speaker 1: And all that, it's like somewhat you know, uh indicated. 1218 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,239 Speaker 2: I dug deefens that comment section. I did not see 1219 00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,239 Speaker 2: a single positive comment. 1220 00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,200 Speaker 3: Here's not one thirty three thousand likes upvotes, one hundred 1221 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,120 Speaker 3: and sixty eight thousand down.

I also think it's a 1229 00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:18,719 Speaker 3: bat signal broadly to everybody on this issue, where like 1230 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 3: you said, it's not just content. It's really not even 1231 00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:27,239 Speaker 3: I hesitate to say ditch neutrality, but it's about confrontation, 1232 00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:31,880 Speaker 3: and it's really about holding facts like like holding people 1233 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,840 Speaker 3: accountable for facts and really, if you're going to agree 1234 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,320 Speaker 3: to it, to actually get into the nitty gritty and 1235 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,480 Speaker 3: not allow some alighting lies. 1236 00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,680 Speaker 1: And that really was like the biggest problem with them. 1237 00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, And this is what pisses me off to is 1238 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 2: because you and I have done many con confrontational interviews. 1239 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,520 Speaker 2: Neither of us likes doing it. Doing it's not fun. 1240 00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 2: You have to prepare a lot, it's uncomfortable.

But 1248 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,520 Speaker 2: when you have someone who's sitting in front of you, 1249 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,960 Speaker 2: who aspires to power, has some position of prominence, it 1250 00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:20,840 Speaker 2: isn't a responsibility that you have to be prepared and 1251 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 2: to be uncomfortable if that's what the interview requires. And 1252 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:28,160 Speaker 2: so this idea that it's somehow like noble and good 1253 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,520 Speaker 2: to do none of that and just let people spout 1254 00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,280 Speaker 2: off whatever they want it actually pisses me off because 1255 00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,120 Speaker 2: it's a cowards and a lazy way out. 1256 00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:37,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not fun to have to do those things. 1257 00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,319 Speaker 2: I get it, but that is actually if you want 1258 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 2: to play in these fonds, if you want to swim 1259 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:43,240 Speaker 2: in these waters. 1260 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,279 Speaker 4: That is actually what is required. And you don't have 1261 00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:47,400 Speaker 4: to be an asshole about it. 1262 00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,680 Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be personal, but you need to 1263 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:53,520 Speaker 2: come equipped with facts and replies and think about, Okay, 1264 00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:55,239 Speaker 2: here's what they're going to say, and here's how I'm 1265 00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:56,920 Speaker 2: going to follow up.
