No one, 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.880 but yeah, I agree, man, uh yeah, it's a good 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:54.680 list to be on. Yeah, all right, were we at? 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:56.360 Where were we at? Oh? I remember? Where were at? 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.600 Where we when we laughed? Where we last left our heroes? Uh. 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:04.240 Oliver North had a light bulb idea as to how 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:08.040 to solve this problem. He did. That's because he's aware 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.360 of a whole other situation that's happened on the other 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.880 side of the world that we have not yet talked about. 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.480 And just for a brief aside, the reason that Ali 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.760 is aware of everything that's happening. So I said in 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:24.600 the first episode that um McFarlane has centralized all intelligence. 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.120 So it's going through the NFC. They have this computer 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.400 system and it's this physical set of terminals that like, 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.040 the data runs directly into the terminal. It's not like 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.760 a you know, it's flying through the air or anything like. 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.600 It's running along the these these wires to the specific 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:41.919 set of terminals, and it's this group of three big 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.799 screens that all of everything the United States as an 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.800 entity knows about the world runs into these three screens. 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.079 And the guys sitting behind the screens is Ali North 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.480 and he was like on the internet before everybody, So 0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:00.760 Ali is aware of and he's also like in charge 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:05.920 of all this stuff, you know. So uh by Bud McFarland, 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.520 he's like, look, can you do this? Can you fix this? 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.079 So one of the things he's worried about is who 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:12.640 we talked about in the beginning of this was the 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:16.000 contrast this rebel group in Nicaragua who's fighting against the 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:21.280 Sandinista's this again socialist group who overthrew their dictator, and 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:29.000 Reagans just like jocking just he cannot be so just 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.000 like rock hard for these guys, he calls from the 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.639 moral Yeah, I'm sure you're getting to that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.000 like the yeah, the more the force of good in 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.960 South America, like just all kind of just out of 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:45.000 pocket extra shit about the contrast and that we need 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:49.560 to support our brown brothers down south just absurd, right uh. 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.960 And again, like we said before, it's based on this 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.440 fear that socialism is gonna spread in the America's right, 0:03:55.920 --> 0:04:01.120 um on the western hemisphere period. You know, if you're 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.000 gonna if we're gonna have communists, let them be on 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:04.760 the other side of the Atlantic. You know what I'm saying. 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:06.800 At least it's not at least it's not on our 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.800 side of town. But either way, he's like we rocks 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.560 with the contrast and whatever they need. And he's been 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.480 on the TV like, yo, whatever these fools need, we 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.039 need to ride for him. And Congress is like slowdown, chief, 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:26.360 Uh buddy, you'll remember Vietnam. Yeah, this shit don't work. Fam. Yeah, 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:30.400 we're actually not okay with big writer. Die for these guys, 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:35.960 um because exactly. Yeah. So in two they passed what's 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:40.000 called the Bowling Amendment, which is if you are a teacher, 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.360 a parent, an older sibling, whatever the case, maybe you 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.880 would resonate with something like this. It's one of those 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.440 laws that or those rules that you can't believe need 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.320 to actually be stated, you know, if you know, you 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.560 know when you see one of those like please do 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.279 not walk off this cliff, please do not lick the 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.960 door knobs like that. Shouldn't have to tell you the 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.440 why is this a rule? Well, it's because somebody did 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.520 walk off this click and somebody actually used to lick 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.240 this door knob. So we had to make a law. 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.760 And the law was and you can't use our money 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.560 to overthrow Nicaragua. Yeah, you can't like it was abroad, 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.880 it was you know, you can't just go overthrowing governments 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.320 and funding militant groups without asking Congress. Right, you can't 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.480 just be you can't be cutting checks to overthrow government's 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.919 fam like but pre texts for everyone who wrote was 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.640 involved in making it was like specifically looking at what 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:36.520 Reagan was trying to do in Nicaragua like that because yeah, yeah, 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.120 because he wasn't high and he was like, no, we 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.920 rock with them. Sandinistas are dangerous. We need to help 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.600 these fools. And they're like, okay, listen, bro, We've been 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.240 down this route before. You can't just be cutting checks 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:50.400 for these people like this. Uh. But Reagan's like, okay, word, 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.080 I hear you, But like what if I want to? Though, 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:55.960 you know what I'm saying. He's like, but but what 0:05:56.000 --> 0:06:00.600 if I But what if I you know, own our point? 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:06.440 I want to So it was Bud McFarland's job to 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:11.280 make sure that we still have these fools back without 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:16.800 actually breaking this law. Right. So who does Bud McFarland 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:21.000 put in charge? Oh Ali Ali Oxen free right, puts 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:28.000 the big armie in charge. So in Bud tells Ali, Uh, listen, 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:32.040 this what we'll do. Hey, have the contrasts, set up 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:36.080 this offshore account right this that you know and and 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:37.880 and if you've seen a movie ever, you know what 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:39.960 the offshore account is. You know what I'm saying. Uh, 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:44.680 you know, uh for contributions that are made to them 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.440 that are direct deposits to the cause. Ali is like, 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.120 got you, let me tap in with some homies who 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.040 know some people down there. So he hits Bill Casey 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.360 again from the CIA. He's like, Yo, who you got 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.600 down there that can help us over there and set 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.240 this thing up. So they so Bill Casey can nexting 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:05.320 with the homie Adolfo Colero, right, who's big Nicaraguan businessman, 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.359 big baller. You know what I'm saying, shock caller, moving 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.240 in circles out there with the contrast and he so 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.040 Bill Casey lays out the play. He's like, look, small 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:18.160 amounts per month, but only small so that nobody notices it, right, 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.520 and when it's time to go, because if you go big, 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.400 that's how you get caught, right. And if we do 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:28.240 get caught, you know what I'm saying, the money is offshore, right, 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.440 so nobody will know that the US had anything to 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.280 do this at all. We don't want we can't have 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.080 our name on none of this, but we want you 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:39.680 to know that we got you. Right. Um, work sounds cool. 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.840 So the next obvious question is like, all right, well 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.200 where is this money coming from? If the bowl Nack 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:48.760 says that we can't fund this, right, that's cool, But 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:55.080 there's no problem with us letting the homies no that 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.240 our homies need some help. Yeah, yeah, we could just like, 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.560 well we get funded, but we can promise favors to 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.840 the King of Saudi Arabia or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, I 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.200 wonder where the name Saudi Arabia came from. How did 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.240 they get involved? Is this not the seventh country to 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.480 be involved in this story? Right? So you're right. So 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.440 they say, hey, you know, we've been We've been slaying 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.680 weapons to the Saudia's for a while. I think they 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.880 might owe us some favors. You know what I'm saying. 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:24.640 We've been selling And not only have we been selling 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.760 them blicky's, I mean we've been selling them that good 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.480 good I mean as Zaza, We've been giving them like 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.360 the realness.

So now enter 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:24.280 another acronym, uh, the NSPG, which is the National Security 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.839 Planning Group, right, which they connect in June to talk 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.800 about contra because listen, they find a run out of 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:36.400 money and they're about to lose this and the only 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.760 people that know the money is going through the saudiast 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:43.079 is oh Ronnie Reagan, Oliver North, Bill Casey, and Budding Farland. 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.520 They're the only people that notice, and that's really who's 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.160 in this group, right, And they're like, okay, so we 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:53.640 need to figure out they need more money, right, how 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.360 do we help the contrast right, which we're not supposed 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.360 to be help in any way, but we slick, slick, 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.240 kind of low key under the table figure out how 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:06.320 to do this, right. Uh So then they say, if 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.319 anyone finds out that we're getting money from other countries 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:13.040 to pay for this, if we're like, well, that's not 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.559 tax cay perpayers money, we just got money from somebody else. 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.640 If they don't do it directly, then they're like, not 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.560 a's still impeachable, Like we can't just do that, right, 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.360 But they're like, I still don't know how to do this. 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.520 Cut to Oliver North right in the group text with 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.839 Colero and nossaudis to making sure that the money is 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.680 going through, the money is going through. Everybody's cool, right, 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:38.079 but again it's still not enough. But while everybody's sweating 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:42.160 about this, the funny part is like dudes like Weinberger, 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.080 who's like, listen, I don't understand what y'all problem is 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:49.120 this is perfectly legal.

Let them keep doing 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.679 what they're doing. And uh, if we get approval from 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.400 the A G. From the Eternal General and now everybody 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:29.080 knows this, then I don't understand what the problem is. Right. 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.640 Ronald Reagan like, okay, I get it, as long as 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.920 I know one thing. This is one time. I was like, Okay, 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.920 this is a good Ronald Reagan quote.

You can try to convince me this 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:59.080 is legal, but just in case, I need nobody singing now. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.559 As anyone who us know who's ever tried to put 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.800 together a lick or a mission or a scheme, the 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.120 more names involved, the more people involved, the more chances 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:11.080 for problems. Right. But but still we're still in a 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:16.000 situation where Oliver North is down there, you know, again, 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:20.640 since he's the middleman between the Southeast, you know, Collaro 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.480 and the Contrast. Right, the Contrasts are still just a 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.280 rebel group. They're not a five star purple hearted general. 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.240 You know what I'm saying, Like Oliver North. So Oliver 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.160 North down there kind of low key giving them game 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.480 here and there, right, just like yo, man, okay, listen, 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:35.760 So when we'll give you this, this is how you 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.880 set stuff up, right, you know what I'm saying, Like, well, 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.480 we'll figure it out, you know, and we'll try to 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:44.800 get you some more money. So while this is happening, 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:50.120 in October of night four, the Congress passed another Bowling 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:55.200 amendment that was like, okay, listen, you can't pay for 0:12:55.640 --> 0:13:00.480 the Contrast, but you also can't indirectly fund the contrast, Man, 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.520 you're not allowed like we you know, you're not allowed 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:07.320 to loophole funding a foreign military organism. We see what 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.160 you're doing, letting you do this. Yes, we see what 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.400 you're doing. Bro, I mean the wind up letting them 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:16.000 do this. And they eventually but they're just like, Bro, 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:20.400 you can't just like, okay, listen, Doug again, we thought 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:24.920 maybe this was clear, but you can't directly or indirectly 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:30.200 fund them. So everybody who hears that that was funding 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:34.520 indirectly the conscience goes, Okay. So so what you're telling 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.480 me is we just have to come up with a 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:42.120 better system to fund the conscious, right, that's what you're saying. Like, no, no, 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.240 we're saying, don't do it. They're like, so do it better? 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.079 Got it right? So they're just like that means we 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:52.360 gotta turn up. So five Oliver North gets them, gets 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:56.800 the saudiast to double their monthly pledge. In between four 0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:00.520 and six. It says that the Saudis gave them thirty 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:04.080 two million dollars to the contract. Ali knows it almost 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:09.280 thirty two million dollars, right, It's like and he's down there, Ali, 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.880 down there giving him all kinds of games, weapons, war strategy, 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:18.920 eleven million in guns, eleven million dollars eleven million worth 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.680 of guns, and they still significant number of guns. Like 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:27.200 that's not a tiny number of guns, it is. Yeah, 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.400 So and they still lose. That ship goes far back 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:35.640 that yes, a still losing. Yeah, listen what I mean. 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.440 One of the things that is we should probably hone 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.200 people in on on here if they haven't picked up 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.360 on it. The Contracts are not a very good rebel group. 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.960 They not they this should have been. Yes, they do 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.200 get better, like in terms of their competence at fighting, 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.920 Like near the end of the story, they're like they're 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.760 really bad at at being being an insurgent militia. It 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.240 just really not doing well. And they've taken on another 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.080 insurgent that over through another government who clearly got some 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.800 more experience on you. You know what I'm saying, So like, fam, 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.840 this should ain't working like and and it's like and 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:11.240 we're just dumping money into you. But again, as America 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.240 or Reagan and them is concerned, we have a vested 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.640 interest in y'all win in this war. And it's almost like, 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.640 look the purse, the purse can't have a bottom on 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.400 it because I need you all to witness, right, And 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:28.240 now cut to Oliver North. Right, uh Ali, Remember this 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.000 is all happening at the same time while we're still 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.360 trying to get them hostages out. It's the same time, right, 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:38.480 so we still ain't got no hostages. Jump saying we're 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.920 dumping money here. Now. Remember we're not giving the Southeast 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.040 these weapons, they're buying them, right. But so the agreement 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.960 was agreeing to sell to us, right. That was the 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:50.560 part that I always missed when I was like trying 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:52.960 to really understand the story growing up. I was like, well, 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:54.920 I understand where the money coming from. Was like, well, no, 0:15:55.040 --> 0:16:00.320 they're buying It was like, they're paying for these weapons. Yeah. 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.280 The fucking arms industry is getting their cut of this. 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.040 Yeah yeah, yeah, everybody making money, you know what I'm saying. 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:06.960 So this is happening at the same time we still 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:12.160 ain't got our hostages. So in November November five, Israel 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:17.520 calls Oliver North to be like, okay, back to the beginning, 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:23.000 our last Hawk missiles didn't clear customs. Remember we told 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.080 you about that. It didn't clear customers list and it 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:29.040 got sent back, right, So that's when Oliver North calls 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:33.040 bud Vic Farland and tells Ronnie he's down for whatever. Right. 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.920 I Ran thinks Israel sabotaging this stuff, and they're like, 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.840 if you if you blame America, they're gonna kill the hostages. Right. 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.920 So we're in a situation that we got to figure 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:43.720 out how to take care of both of these situations. 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.200 There's not enough money here. We still ain't got our 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:55.280 hostages over there. Incomes January six, the diversion. Now, according 0:16:55.280 --> 0:17:00.240 to Oliver North, he said, Goo Bonafar came up with it, right, 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:05.320 and uh, we can't know because it was like a 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:09.440 movie scene where you out in London. Y'all remember that meeting, 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.080 I said, when they talked in London. Right, they're out 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.119 in London, they're having a conversation. You gotta picture a 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.280 movie scene where the food Gabonafar pulls his food into 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:21.160 the into the into the bathroom, turns the water on. Right, 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:27.840 So nobody hear him talking, right, And according to Oliver 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.200 North in his story, according to his story, he's like, listen, 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.480 I got an idea how you could get an extra 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.719 millie for you? I got an idea and you can 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.240 make an extra million on it, right, but it's gonna 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.520 take a few steps. So he's like, okay, here's the plan, 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:51.040 stopped using Israel. Okay, sell directly to Iran and mark 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:54.919 up the price and take the rest and put it 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:59.600 in that offshore account that the Nicaraguan set up. And 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:03.199 if you won't to, won't you mark it up a 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.880 little bit more and you can pocket a little bit 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.040 like you put in your life in danger here. Anyway, 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.760 you're probably gonna go to jail over this ship, so 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.639 you might as well make a little money, you know 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:18.760 what I'm saying. And you know, boy scout Oliver North 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.399 is like, well, I can never do that, right, But 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:23.960 he doesn't do it, so he doesn't take the money right, 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:33.719 but he definitely is like huh it basically huh So 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:40.280 they need more money. We need our hostages. Iran thinks 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:45.920 Israel is the problem. So if we remove Israel, sell 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:51.720 to y'all directly, mark it up, take that extra money, 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:56.120 put it in an offshore account. That way, we get 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.840 our hostages and we pay for this war that we're 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:03.440 not allowed to pay for with money that actually don't exist, 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.920 because remember we're not supposed to be settling to them anyway, 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:10.440 so that in that case, if you if you work 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.160 it right, the money never touches our account, it never 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.960 comes into your bank account because the money are not 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:19.080 supposed to exist anyway. And again, like we said in 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:24.919 the beginning, brilliant, right, although quite a bit of that 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.359 money is going to wind up in a physical safe 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.439 that all of our north keeps. Like he winds up, 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.159 he's grabbing. There's points points of this where he's like 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.920 paying off people in our government and stuff, and he's 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.920 just like handing folks like bearer bonds he keeps in 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.879 his fucking safe and the white It's hilarious. It's the 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.840 most messiest, Like it's very messy because these people aren't 0:19:45.840 --> 0:20:25.840 actually criminals. You know what I'm saying. All right? Uh 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:28.440 So Ali goes up, pulls up to the new National 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:31.639 um Security Advisor. His dude, John Poard Dexter, who I 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.359 thought was a made up name, right, That dude's got 0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:38.199 a real last name, and he's really hard. Yeah, and 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:41.080 he was like one of them like true believer type dudes, 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:44.280 like first class and one like you know, Navy pH 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:48.120 d and like nukes as being he's extremely smart, yes, 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:51.480 and he had. He also he's he's described as being 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:57.119 extremely intelligent and having effectively no independent thought whatsoever. Like 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.639 he's this brilliant man who who's never had an idea 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:03.040 of his own, but he's unfailingly loyal. Yeah, he's just down, 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:13.399 true believer down. So January, Reagan finally uh signs the 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:18.000 finding right to drop the middleman, to be like, this 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:19.800 is what we're gonna do. I'm gonna sign the finding. 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:23.919 Remember he did the retroactive one, but which was already fraudulent. 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.120 Now he's about to sign one that's gonna say we're 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:29.480 gonna cut out the middleman. The problem is it never 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:34.080 goes to Congress, so Congress never saw it. Right, But 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:39.560 the diversion is now off to the races. Right. So 0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:44.040 missiles that we sold to Iran for what should have 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:49.200 been three point seven million was ten million. That's where 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:51.280 we raised the price to from three point seven to 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:54.159 ten million, and we take the extra six million and 0:21:54.240 --> 0:22:00.840 we fund them the constrass. Right, that was a plan. 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:05.480 It was working, except we still ain't got the hostages. 0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:11.280 They still gave them up. Bill Casey is fucking dead, yes, 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:18.960 yeah or not. Casey Buckley is dead. Day you get 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:21.919 like one guy or something. At one point in this 0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:25.440 like almost no movement at all, like that, they're they're 0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:29.199 handing over literal tons of weaponry and they're trying to 0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:32.320 get six dudes. Now, look, I'll tell you right now, 0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:35.080 if I've got six guys and you give me five 0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:37.639 hundred tons of anti air and anti armor weaponry, I'm 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:41.320 gonna give you those six guys because I'm an honest man. Um. 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:43.840 But no, hisipal is just like, you know what, Now, 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:45.439 see how long we can run it ahead, See how 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:46.919 long we can run it. And at the end of 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:49.080 the day, it's like, I don't blame them if y'all 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:54.240 keep sending them. They're like, why would I stop? It 0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:57.520 seems like the US is just a gun paniata right now? 0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:01.200 Why not? Like there's a downside? And what's crazy is 0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:03.920 in this whole story, the real is the only real 0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:06.960 ones in this story so far as has blood. Because 0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:08.520 they was like, look, we'll do it if you give 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.240 us weapons. And I'm like, wait, so you'll still give 0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:13.920 us weapons even if we don't do our partners Iran? 0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:16.879 Yeah is Iran. They're like, wait, you'll still give us 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:21.680 weapons if we don't give you what you want, I mean, 0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:25.879 we'll ship like you saying like I don't know. I 0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:32.119 mean that it's it's cool, right So anyway, Uh So 0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:36.160 Ronnie hits uh blud McFarland back and he's like, listen, dog, 0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:38.480 I don't sucked up. I need some help here, right. 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:43.080 So in May eight six they land in Tehran, right, uh, 0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:46.880 with a couple of spare parts of a hawk missile, 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:51.200 a kosher cake for some reason, and a Bible as 0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:53.320 a chord in the Ronald Reagan story, and a chord 0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:56.439 in a Bible with a message from Ronald Reagan. Now, 0:23:56.560 --> 0:24:02.840 why in the world Ronald Reagan would think this was 0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:07.359 a good gesture is beyond me. But they were there 0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:11.199 to negotiate the terms of release, right, So basically it 0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:13.800 was like, okay, we're moving out Gabana far. This is 0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:16.359 us talking like, let's talk face to face, all right, 0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:20.119 here's a situation, and as a sign of good faith, 0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:26.800 here's this. Here's this Jewish thing that I'm giving y'all right, 0:24:26.840 --> 0:24:28.840 at which I still don't understand why he thought that 0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:31.679 was a good idea unless it's a dig towards Israel. 0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:34.159 It just doesn't make sense to me. And a Bible. 0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:36.760 I don't get it. The point is, according to them, 0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:39.760
