These these kinds of mistakes happen. 330 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. 331 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 5: We should also mention Ryan that Odnan Koshogi was Jamal 332 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 5: Kashogi's uncle on his father's side. Is was in financial 333 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 5: relationship with Jeffrey Epstein as far as everyone can tell. 334 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 5: And I was involved in around, Yeah, was involved in 335 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 5: around contract. And I believe actually one of Trump's yachts 336 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 5: in the nineteen eighties had originally been commissioned by Koshogi. 337 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 4: I think it's also true. 338 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 5: That the Lady Galaine was originally was was commissioned by 339 00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 5: Adnan Koshogi. 340 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 4: Wild confluence of relationships. 341 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 6: Yeah, and Jamal was a very highly regarded journalist, but 342 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 6: he was Basically he didn't. 343 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 3: He wasn't. Let's not pretend that. 344 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 6: He was like some like hardcore champion of freedom and 345 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 6: democracy and human rights. He was allied with MBNO, who 346 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 6: was NBS's rival, and MBS. NBN was actually closer to 347 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 6: the CIA. MBS was closer to the UE, and they 348 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 6: and Israel, and they managed to like jump over MBN 349 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 6: and make MBS the Crown Prince, and that put Koshogi 350 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 6: on the outs. So this was we're talking about an 351 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 6: kind of inter royal family factional dispute here more than 352 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,719 Speaker 6: we're talking about something on principle. Although once he what 353 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 6: you find is that dissidents will use the arguments that 354 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 6: are useful to them, of course, and so he would 355 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 6: make the arguments those arguments on behalf of values of 356 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 6: liberalism and freedom right. 357 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 5: And Trump of course is not a novice in the space. 358 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 5: He has been involved in these types of deals and 359 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 5: relationships going back quite a long time. Interesting that it 360 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 5: was also happening against the backdrop of the Epstein file release, 361 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 5: which we will get to in one moment as well. 362 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 6: So speaking about freedoms, Donald Trump responded to this exchange 363 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 6: about the killing of an American journalists by telling the 364 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 6: American journalists who asked about it that maybe they should 365 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 6: have their license revoked for asking about it. 366 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 3: Let's roll this one one week. 367 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 7: For Congress to release the Epstein files. Why not just 368 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 7: do it as well. It's not the question that I mind, 369 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 7: it's your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter. 370 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 7: It's the way you ask these questions. You start off 371 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 7: with a man who's highly respected asking him a horrible 372 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 7: inch bordinate and just a terrible question. And you could 373 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 7: even ask that same exact question nicely. You're all psyched. 374 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 7: Somebody psychs you over at ABC, you're gonna psycho. You're 375 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 7: a terrible person and a terrible reporter. I'll tell you something. 376 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 7: I think the license should be taken away from ABC 377 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 7: because your news is so fake and is so wrong. 378 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 7: And we have a great commissioner, a chairman who should 379 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 7: look at that. 380 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 3: Maybe Barry Weis could run ABC too, How about that. 381 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 5: I don't know if that merger would get approved, but hey, 382 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:38,479 Speaker 5: probably not. 383 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 4: Why not BC? There you go, it's called broadcasting. 384 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 6: Yeah, Barry broadcasting BBC, and she can take over the 385 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 6: BBC because of the controversy that they're having over. 386 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 3: There with Trump too. 387 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 4: You're coming up with all this lusus. 388 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 3: You can have them all. 389 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we should just let you run the media. 390 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 3: I don't. 391 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 6: Barry's got it under control. So speaking of embarrassing the 392 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 6: guests awkward. But he got pressed on Saudi Arabia's role 393 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 6: in nine to eleven. Also, let's roll that one. 394 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 8: I feel painful about, you know, the families of ninety 395 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 8: eleven in America, But you know, we have to focus 396 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 8: on reality. Reality based in SII documents and based on 397 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 8: a lot of documents that Ladin he used Saudi people 398 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 8: and that event for one main purpose is to destroy 399 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 8: this relation, to destroy the American Saudi relation. That's the 400 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 8: purpose of ninety eleven. So whoever buying that, that means 401 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 8: they are helping Osama. The Ladin purpose of destroying this relation. 402 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 8: He know that strong relation between America and Saudi Arabia. 403 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 8: It's bad for extremism, it's bad for tourism. And we 404 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 8: have to approve him wrong and to build our relation, 405 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 8: to continue to work to our relation. It's a critical 406 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 8: in the safety of the world. It's a critical against 407 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 8: extremism and terrourism. 408 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 4: Strike you as an innocent man, there just hands totally clean. 409 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 4: He's what he was saying. It's bad for tourism. That's 410 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 4: a good one. 411 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 3: It was for a little while. Well no, actually it 412 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 3: was nine. 413 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 6: I guess certainly because showy killing was bad for tourism 414 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 6: for a little while. 415 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 3: I mean, he's not comedy fests. And that's right, it's 416 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 3: all back. 417 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 6: Trump also made an argument that I guess his tariffs 418 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 6: are making America great again because Saudi Arabia is investing 419 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 6: heavily in the United States to build its manufacturing base. 420 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 3: Let's roll a five. 421 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 8: Many eights and technology and AI and materials, magnet, et cetera. 422 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 8: That would create a lot of You are doing that. 423 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 7: Now you're saying to me now that the six hundred 424 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 7: billion will be one. 425 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 8: Treading definitely because what we are signing it to a 426 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 8: facility that and like. 427 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 7: No, that's great, that's I appreciate that. That's great. It's no. 428 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 7: We're doing numbers that nobody's ever done. And it all fairness. 429 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 7: If you didn't see potential in the US, you wouldn't 430 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 7: be doing it. 431 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 8: Definitely, you don't want to lose money. 432 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 7: We use tariffs to bring all this money in, and 433 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 7: you're going to see the results in a year when 434 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 7: these plants start to open up. We have more plants 435 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 7: under construction now than at any time in the history 436 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 7: of our country. And these are big plants. These are 437 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 7: the biggest plants anywhere in the world. 438 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 6: And the backdrop here is that Trump has been pressuring 439 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 6: Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel. Saudi Arabia has 440 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 6: continued to say, you've got to give us something on 441 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 6: Palestinian statehood. 442 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 3: We cannot do it without it. 443 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 6: Roll a little bit of the exchange on the Abraham 444 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 6: accurts here at say six. 445 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 8: Having a good tradition with all of thesecent countries a 446 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 8: good thing, and we want to be part of the Brimaco. 447 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 8: But we want also to be sure that secure a 448 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 8: cleeve path of two state solution. Today we have a 449 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 8: henity discussion with mister President that we've got to walk 450 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 8: on that to be sure that we can prepare the suition. 451 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 8: It's a little as possible to have that. 452 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 7: I think we're you know, I don't want to use 453 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 7: the word commitment, but we've had a very good talk 454 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 7: of the Abraham Accords.

We'll be discussing and further too. 457 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 7: But I think you have a very good feeling for 458 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 7: the Abraham. 459 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 8: A course, just deflims the president who want peaceful there's 460 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,479 Speaker 8: three das.

I think 470 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 6: MBS personally like, if it were up to him, he 471 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 6: doesn't care. 472 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 3: He'd be happy to. 473 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 6: Join the Abraham Accords and strike a endless you know, 474 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 6: business and political deals with Israel and just ignore the 475 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 6: fact of the Palestinians.

The regional, the regional and domestic politics just 478 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 6: simply won't allow it. 479 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 5: And if you're just listening to this, by the way, 480 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 5: and you're seeing the clips, what you're missing is Trump 481 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 5: literally slapping MBS on the knee. They were playing with 482 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 5: each other's hands at one point because they went in 483 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 5: for a fist bump, but Trump said he doesn't do 484 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 5: fist bumps. It was a level of friendliness that you 485 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 5: would rarely see it between a president and any foreign leader, 486 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 5: let alone the Crown Prince of Saddi Arabia. 487 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 6: It's in his friendliness in it, but it's also Trump's 488 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 6: kind of little ribbing bullying style that he has because NBS, 489 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 6: as you can tell, is a very awkward figure, and 490 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 6: so Trump kind of slapping him and pushed him around. 491 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 6: It's like he knows he's kind of pushing MBS out 492 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,479 Speaker 6: of his comfort zone a little bit, and it's it's 493 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 6: kind of an alpha dog thing that he's doing. 494 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 4: Oh, that's interesting. That's an interesting psychological READI that's my reading. 495 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 4: That is interesting. 496 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 3: Though. 497 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 5: Now they had this this dinner last night. Did you 498 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 5: see this where Cristiano Ronaldo was there? 499 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 3: Oh? 500 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 6: Yes, I heard that he heard that he was there, and 501 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 6: that the dinner is where they announced that they're going 502 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 6: to become a major non NATO ally right. 503 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. Trump rolled out that announcement. 504 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 3: He had horses for him, what had of camels? Yeah? 505 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 5: What else would you do? But yes, that's that was 506 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 5: announced just last night. Trump made it clear that's where 507 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 5: we were going with the relationship. And this was I 508 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 5: mean again, you can understand why. But it was a 509 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 5: packed dinner. Elon Musk was there, Ronaldo, a lot of 510 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 5: money there, Cabinet officials, Howard Latinik, those types of people. 511 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 4: Yes, lots and lots of money there. 512 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 5: Red carpet was rolled out to say the least for 513 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 5: MBS yesterday. 514 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 6: So a good friend of MBS's, by the way, was 515 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 6: a financier and sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was 516 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 6: the subject of a vote yesterday in the House of Representatives. 517 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 6: We can roll a Marjorie Taylor Green, who has now 518 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 6: been denounced by President Trump, embraced by some Democrats, held 519 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 6: a press conference with Epstein victims outside of Congress. 520 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 3: Here's Marjorie Taylor Green. 521 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 9: I was called a trader by a man that I 522 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 9: fought for five no actually six years for and I 523 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 9: gave him my loyalty for free. I won my first 524 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 9: selection without his endorsement, beating eight men in a primary, 525 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 9: and I've never owed him anything, but I fought for him, 526 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 9: for the policies and for America first. And he called 527 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 9: me a trader for standing with these women and refusing 528 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 9: to take my name off the discharge petition. Let me 529 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,959 Speaker 9: tell you what a ch is. A trader is an 530 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 9: American that serves foreign countries and themselves. A patriot is 531 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 9: an American that serves the United States of America and 532 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 9: Americans like the women standing behind me. And I want 533 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 9: to tell you that this only became possible today because 534 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 9: the American people, whom we serve as representatives here in Congress, 535 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 9: demanded that this vote happened, and they put more pressure 536 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 9: on every single elected politician in this city than has 537 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 9: ever been put on them. And today you are going 538 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 9: to see probably a unanimous vote in the House to 539 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 9: release the Epstein files. But the fight, the real fight, 540 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 9: will happen after that. 541 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 6: So I think, Emily, that that's true that the public 542 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 6: did put enormous pressure on these representatives, including by electing 543 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 6: autoly Do Rhalva, and you know, getting two hundred and 544 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 6: eighteen signatures on the discharge petition and forcing Trump's hand 545 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 6: to the point where he said, you know what, just 546 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 6: everybody should just vote for at this point. 547 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:18,959 Speaker 3: Is that right? 548 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 6: You think like that this was a real kind of 549 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 6: a rare dub for the people. 550 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I absolutely think so. 551 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 5: People may remember before the August recess on this show, 552 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 5: I covered talking to a bunch of Republican congressmen on 553 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 5: the Hill. 554 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 4: It was just a couple of days before recess, and 555 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 4: I was asking. 556 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 5: Them, are you expecting to get questions about Epstein? Because 557 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 5: at the time Trump's line and he's still using this 558 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 5: now to some extent, but his lene was this is 559 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 5: all a distraction, This is a Democrat hoax to get 560 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 5: you to, you know, not focus on the one big, 561 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 5: beautiful bill and all of that. And I actually didn't 562 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 5: get that response from Republican congressman that I talked to, 563 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 5: who were saying, no, we fully expect to hear from 564 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 5: our stituents about Jeffrey Epstein. 565 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 4: And so I think that's exactly what happened. 566 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 5: I think Trump learned that it wasn't going anywhere, the 567 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 5: issue wasn't going anywhere. He saw that could not control 568 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 5: the people like Marjorie Taylor Green going all over media it. 569 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 4: Just would not die away. And I think Trump. 570 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 5: Believed he had more control over the base, and he 571 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 5: does have a lot of control over the base, but 572 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 5: this is an issue that just absolutely embodies what people 573 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 5: see as the swamp and you can't kind of hand 574 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 5: wave it away. And so while people may be willing 575 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 5: to like bend over backwards and exonerate Donald Trump and say. 576 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 4: Well, he's you know, he's. 577 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 5: Nothing to do with Epstein, they are not willing to 578 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 5: do that with Epstein overall, say go away, like this 579 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 5: doesn't matter. And so I think genuinely they're Republicans realized 580 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 5: it wasn't just Marjor Taylor Green going on, you know, 581 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 5: all like the view. It was actually also that you 582 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 5: had Congressman saying we're going to have to vote for 583 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 5: the discharge petition. We can't be voting against this discharge petition. 584 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 5: And I think when Trump realized where the numbers were going, 585 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 5: it was a cost benefit analysis. Who's like, well, the 586 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 5: cost of whatever comes out is worth the benefits of 587 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 5: these guys of having to take the vote at this point. 588 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, and for Trump to hold on this long really 589 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 6: makes you wonder like, what is he worried about is 590 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 6: in there? Because he knows better than anybody that for years, 591 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 6: the Republican base was told the world government is being 592 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 6: run by a secret cabal of predator pedophiles. 593 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 3: Then you catch one. 594 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 6: And you're told, well, never mind, right, Like that's not 595 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 6: going to fly. 596 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 4: Right, no, no, And it didn't. 597 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 6: If you hadn't spent years telling them that they were 598 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 6: run by a cabal of pedophiles. Then maybe you catch 599 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 6: one pedophile who's in the cabal and you can get 600 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 6: away with like nevermind, just a hoax, Let this one 601 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 6: go right, No, no, no, no, no, no, no, we will 602 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 6: pull on this string. 603 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 4: Yeah. 604 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 5: And what I I mean that the incentive, the explanation 605 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 5: for why you have democratic presidents and Republican presidents during 606 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 5: the swamp presidents and whatever the Biden presidency was defending 607 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 5: or pushing back on disclosure, is because the one incentive 608 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 5: that ties them together is protecting the intelligence community. And 609 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 5: so that explains I think the reluctance on both of 610 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 5: their parts. I mean, it's not just Bill Clinton and 611 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 5: Donald Trump having friendly relationships with Jeffrey Epstein. It's something 612 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 5: deeper than that, which is why I also think Trump realizes, 613 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 5: and I say this with no pleasure at all, but 614 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 5: that they have some amount of control over what is 615 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 5: actually going to be released. 616 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 4: He controls the. 617 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 5: Government right now. And yeah, I don't know if you 618 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 5: agree with this or not. Seems to me anything that 619 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 5: would actually function as a smoking gun where you have 620 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 5: Jeffrey Epstein in writing saying I trafficked girls as blackmail 621 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 5: to change foreign policy and make money in the process. Like, 622 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 5: if you have that in writing, it has been destroyed 623 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 5: or it will not be released. 624 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 3: Or it's been unlived. The person who could say that 625 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 3: has been un alive, yes, yes, yes. 626 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 4: And so it's obvious that you can. 627 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 6: Then other person who could say that is getting kid 628 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 6: glove treatment now in minimum security prison. 629 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 4: There you go, And so the Epstein story is not 630 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 4: going away. So there's two possibilities. 631 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 5: You can either look like your for disclosure or you 632 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 5: can look like you're for stonewalling. 633 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 4: But those are the only two options. 634 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, and so speaking of stonewalling, one method they're going 635 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 6: to use is, well, this is all a matter of 636 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 6: national security. So let's roll speaker Mike Johnson. 637 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 3: Here, d oj or. 638 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 10: The FBI has already reviewed it, and determined it is 639 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 10: not credible. It is fall information. Doing this and requiring 640 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 10: this to come out could ruin the reputations of completely 641 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 10: innocent people, such as those who have may just have 642 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 10: known Epstein but knew nothing of his crimes, or whose 643 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 10: names he exploited. Think of this, innocent people whose names 644 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 10: he exploited and used to try to get close to 645 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 10: his intended victims. Their names may be in these files 646 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 10: and they had nothing to do with this, and so 647 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 10: by just haphazardly releasing it, you're going to destroy their reputations. 648 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 6: I mean, look, I think it is fine to say 649 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 6: just because your name is in these emails does not 650 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 6: mean that you are a bad person. In fact, I 651 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 6: don't know if you've noticed this. My former colleague Akbar Ahmed, 652 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 6: his name was in an exchange between Bannon and Epstein, 653 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 6: but it was I think Bannon was sending an article 654 00:33:54,400 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 6: that Okbar had written at the Hovin Post and Epstein 655 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 6: and said that sounds like his name, sounds like an 656 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 6: SNL skit, and Bannon replied, quote very gay Pakistani. 657 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 3: So look he's in there. He's in there. 658 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 6: I told him he should put that on a T shirt.

Is she a hooker? Did you 704 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 4: see that? That was a good one. So obviously he 705 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 4: was exposed. Maybe his wife already knew it, maybe not, 706 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 4: but he. 707 00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 5: Was exposed for his adultery. So that's probably probably more 708 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 5: to come. And I would hope that everyone is relatively 709 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,879 Speaker 5: judicious as they go through the files and journalists reach 710 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 5: out for comment and all of that. But I think 711 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 5: Ryan generally correct that if you didn't do anything wrong, 712 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,479 Speaker 5: you should be able to explain what exactly happened, why 713 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 5: you were in this conversation, why your name came up. 714 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,760 Speaker 5: Maybe you're a journalist whose article was being passed around. 715 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 4: There you go. Just have to have faith in the truth. 716 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 3: There you go. 717 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 6: Meanwhile, we didn't want to let the show pass without 718 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 6: one of the funniest headlines that we've ever seen.

And Fstein worked with 795 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 6: all all of those kinds of people, and so this 796 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 6: is the kind of bank that is very helpful to them. 797 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 6: So I'll go through just some of the reporting here, 798 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:13,880 Speaker 6: But eleven days before Epstein was found dead, there was 799 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 6: this report in Bloomberg that he had met with Arion 800 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 6: de Rothschild, who is now the CEO of the Edmund 801 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 6: de Rothschild Group, which is the basically what the bank 802 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 6: is called. 803 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:27,439 Speaker 3: Now. 804 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,240 Speaker 6: At the time, the bank is like, it's not true, 805 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 6: they had no relationship. Since then, there's been some Wall 806 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,360 Speaker 6: Street journal reporting on their relationship that showed that actually 807 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 6: there was a little bit of a relationship that so 808 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 6: that wasn't quite accurate. What we can show is that 809 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 6: the relationship was very, very deep, and just how deep 810 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 6: we'll have some follow up reporting as well, but for now, 811 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,240 Speaker 6: what we can say is that. 812 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 3: When Ahud Barak. 813 00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:01,280 Speaker 6: Left as a Minister of Defense and ISRAE in twenty thirteen, 814 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 6: he immediately was sought out by European banks as kind 815 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 6: of a rain maker, Like they knew that he was 816 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,399 Speaker 6: going to start working with oligarchs all over the world 817 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 6: to set up companies, and they wanted to be in 818 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 6: the middle of that stream, and so he cuts a 819 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,799 Speaker 6: deal with he was Julius bear Bank and Epstein then 820 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 6: quickly hears from somebody at the Roschild Bank saying, just 821 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 6: saw that Ahood Barack was scooped up by this competitor. 822 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,359 Speaker 6: Too bad, because we actually would have liked to work 823 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,280 Speaker 6: with him, Which shows you a bunch of different things, 824 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,840 Speaker 6: one of which the banking world knew at that time 825 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,240 Speaker 6: that if they wanted to reach out to Ahud Barak, 826 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,240 Speaker 6: who was foreign Prime Minister of Israel, for some type 827 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 6: of relationship, the guy to go through was Jeffrey Epstein. 828 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 6: At the same time, we report that Epstein that Rothschild, 829 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 6: because they were facing this Department of Justice investigation, needed 830 00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 6: new council. He went out and found an attorney for them, 831 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 6: like on behalf of the Rothschild Bank. He reached out 832 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,360 Speaker 6: to Katherine Rumler, who was a top lawyer in the 833 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 6: Obama administration, and she ended up representing the bank, and 834 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 6: that is a matter of public record. She negotiated a 835 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 6: non prosecution agreement. 836 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:20,399 Speaker 4: She's at Goldman now. 837 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 5: And she was also in these conversations that Michael Wolfe 838 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:29,320 Speaker 5: has released where there's a public relations strategizing bull session 839 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 5: basically between Steve Bann and Michael Wolfe, Jeffrey Epstein and Katherine. 840 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 6: Rumler right right, And so you know she was also 841 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 6: Epstein also connected her with Gates when Epstein was trying 842 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 6: to build basically he was trying to Epstein it seems 843 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 6: like he was trying to take over the Giving Pledge 844 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,360 Speaker 6: and like move it into a new donor advised fund 845 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 6: and be the be the man behind the strings that 846 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,839 Speaker 6: never really completely got off the ground. What he what 847 00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 6: the so, so then Epstein ends up connect Barack and 848 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 6: Arion de Rothschild. And we have some just absolutely wild 849 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 6: quotes in here, and we can put up some of 850 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 6: these while I'm talking. You can just kind of roll 851 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 6: through the different elements of emails and people can pause 852 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 6: on those and and read them. 853 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,759 Speaker 3: But so, in one of the notes. 854 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 6: Epstein writes to ahu Barack a message from Arion de 855 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 6: Rothschild where he says, and he's so he's basically paraphrasing 856 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 6: Arian he says. She says to ahud If Ahood wants 857 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 6: to make serious money. He will have to build a 858 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,400 Speaker 6: relationship with me, take time so that we can truly 859 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:44,879 Speaker 6: understand one another unquote. And so then Barack says he's 860 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,239 Speaker 6: going to defer to Epstein, and you're gonna love why. 861 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 6: I'm ready, he wrote, but I need your advice.

It used to be 964 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,680 Speaker 11: that the media you got in America was American media, 965 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,440 Speaker 11: and it was pretty mainstream. You know, it generally didn't 966 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,840 Speaker 11: express extreme anti Israel views. You had to go to 967 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,440 Speaker 11: a pretty weird bookstore to find global media and fringe media. 968 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:57,000 Speaker 11: But today we have social media, which is a global medium. 969 00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,960 Speaker 11: It is shaped, its algorithms are shaped by billions of 970 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,839 Speaker 11: people worldwide who don't really love Jews. And so while 971 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,320 Speaker 11: in the nineteen nineties, you know, a young person probably 972 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,360 Speaker 11: wasn't going to find Al Jazeera or someone like Nick Fuentes. 973 00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,880 Speaker 11: Today those media outlets find them. They find them on 974 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:17,120 Speaker 11: their phones. It's also this increasingly post literate media, less 975 00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,960 Speaker 11: and less text, more and more videos. So you have 976 00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 11: TikTok just smashing our young people's brains all day long 977 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:27,759 Speaker 11: with video of carnage and Gaza. And this is why 978 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 11: so many of us can't have a sane conversation with 979 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,439 Speaker 11: younger Jews because anything that we try to say to them, 980 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,359 Speaker 11: they are hearing it through this wall of carnage. So 981 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,440 Speaker 11: I want to give data and information and facts and arguments, 982 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,279 Speaker 11: and they are just seeing in their minds carnage. And 983 00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:47,000 Speaker 11: I sound obscene, And you know, I think unfortunately, the 984 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,600 Speaker 11: very smart I think bet that we made on Holocaust 985 00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,279 Speaker 11: education to serve as anti Semitism education in this new 986 00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,920 Speaker 11: media environment, I think that is beginning to break down 987 00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,239 Speaker 11: a little bit, because you know, hal cost education is 988 00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,799 Speaker 11: absolutely essential. But I think in maybe confusing some of 989 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 11: our young people about anti Semitism because they learn about big, 990 00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:10,160 Speaker 11: strong Nazis hurting weak, emaciated Jews, and they think, oh, 991 00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 11: anti Semitism is like anti black racism, right, powerful white 992 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:17,000 Speaker 11: people against powerless black people. So when on TikTok all 993 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:21,640 Speaker 11: day long they see powerful Israelis hurting weak, skinny Palestinians, 994 00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:24,239 Speaker 11: it's not surprising that they think, Oh, I know, the 995 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,080 Speaker 11: lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel. You fight 996 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 11: the big, powerful people hurting the weak people. 997 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:31,880 Speaker 6: All right, So, Emily, where do you where should we 998 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:37,360 Speaker 6: Where do we even start with this argument? My worldview 999 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:41,319 Speaker 6: is being rejected because people are seeing images of. 1000 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 4: Carnage, people are seeing facts. 1001 00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:49,040 Speaker 6: And because people have been taught that it is wrong 1002 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:54,680 Speaker 6: when a powerful force uses its power to annihilate a 1003 00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,560 Speaker 6: weaker people, and you can. So therefore, it's not my 1004 00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:02,239 Speaker 6: worldview that needs to change. Isn't that we should end 1005 00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 6: the carnage, We should end the Holocaust education, and we 1006 00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 6: should make sure that we can kill social media so 1007 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,560 Speaker 6: people don't see the images like, yes, that's. 1008 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,600 Speaker 5: The death rattle of the gatekeepers. I mean, this clip 1009 00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 5: in a nutshell is the death rattle of the gatekeeper. 1010 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,600 Speaker 5: She is truly upset that people have access to information 1011 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,880 Speaker 5: that previously she feels the gatekeepers were able to keep out, 1012 00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,600 Speaker 5: which is also somewhat wrong. Her idea that you used 1013 00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,799 Speaker 5: to have to go to a weird bookstore to get 1014 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,960 Speaker 5: your hands on anti Israel information. You go ahead, walk 1015 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:34,880 Speaker 5: into Barnes and Noble and pick up your Chomsky. 1016 00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 4: It's fine. 1017 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,880 Speaker 5: But also what she's really lamenting is the lack of 1018 00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:45,040 Speaker 5: control that the gatekeepers used to have to push people out. 1019 00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,440 Speaker 5: And it's it's convenient for her to just chalk that 1020 00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:52,880 Speaker 5: up to funtes or left wing critics of Israel, but 1021 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:58,480 Speaker 5: it's obviously going well beyond fringe figures, and it's not 1022 00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:02,360 Speaker 5: fringe and be considered fringe to oppose what just happened 1023 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,799 Speaker 5: to Gazo over the last couple of years. But she 1024 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:10,399 Speaker 5: wants to actually relegate those views to the fringes and say, well, 1025 00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,680 Speaker 5: this is just craziness, But now it's mainstream because the 1026 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,760 Speaker 5: crazies are mainstream, as opposed to now it's mainstream because 1027 00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,719 Speaker 5: people had access to different information that you previously were 1028 00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:21,560 Speaker 5: able to gatekeep. 1029 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,879 Speaker 6: Yeah, the only line of hers that made any sense 1030 00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,160 Speaker 6: to me was when she said I sound obscene, and 1031 00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:31,360 Speaker 6: to me she does so wildline, she does sound obscene, 1032 00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,480 Speaker 6: And what I don't understand is how. 1033 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:34,359 Speaker 3: She can't see it. 1034 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:41,280 Speaker 6: I don't understand this complaint about social media after October 1035 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,560 Speaker 6: seventh and every day up until the seasfire. Now, now 1036 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:48,320 Speaker 6: they're a handful of you know, fewer than ten usually 1037 00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:53,479 Speaker 6: Palestinians being killed every day by Israel. You had about 1038 00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 6: an average of one hundred Palestinians killed every single day 1039 00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:04,440 Speaker 6: after October seventh for two plus years, and eighty plus 1040 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,680 Speaker 6: percent ninety plus percent. We're going by Israeli data here 1041 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:13,040 Speaker 6: that gets leaked out civilians. They have smartphones in Gaza, 1042 00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 6: they're able to they're able to share footage every day 1043 00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:21,200 Speaker 6: of the many dozens, the scores of people, up to 1044 00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:25,080 Speaker 6: a hundred or more every day being killed in Gaza. 1045 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:30,320 Speaker 6: How is that social media's fault? Like, what is social media? 1046 00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 6: What is TikTok or Instagram? I know what they want 1047 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:33,080 Speaker 6: them to do. 1048 00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:34,319 Speaker 4: She's just not. 1049 00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:38,359 Speaker 5: Skinny Palestinians as though that's some type of aberration. Right, 1050 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 5: that there was people seeing skinny Palestinians was misleading because 1051 00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:44,520 Speaker 5: it makes you think Palestinians are starving. 1052 00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:46,759 Speaker 4: That seems to be her. 1053 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,239 Speaker 6: Point, right, So Israel wants to cut off food from 1054 00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:58,040 Speaker 6: getting in. Everybody loses weight and Gaza that gets the 1055 00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,880 Speaker 6: images of that are shared with the world. It's so 1056 00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,160 Speaker 6: hard for me to get my mind to a place 1057 00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,000 Speaker 6: where you don't say, okay, So we should actually let 1058 00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:11,280 Speaker 6: let food in so people aren't starving. We should stop 1059 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:15,960 Speaker 6: killing civilians so that we stop seeing images of civilians 1060 00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:16,560 Speaker 6: being killed. 1061 00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,840 Speaker 3: Instead, we need. 1062 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:23,320 Speaker 6: To buy TikTok yes, like we need to shut down 1063 00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,360 Speaker 6: the ability of people to share these images. 1064 00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:28,600 Speaker 3: And then but then the second minute of. 1065 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:33,440 Speaker 6: It is the most mind bending, where she says it 1066 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:37,600 Speaker 6: was smart of us to lank anti Semitism and Holocaust 1067 00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,920 Speaker 6: education because we talked about the Nazis and what they did, 1068 00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,320 Speaker 6: and everybody understood that that was bad. But now we 1069 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:48,200 Speaker 6: need to dial that back because we look like the Nazis. 1070 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 6: That thinking to me is just I can't it's incomprehensible. 1071 00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:02,040 Speaker 6: I can't get there, rather than her saying, we're starting 1072 00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:05,360 Speaker 6: to look like the Nazis in the framework that we 1073 00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:10,400 Speaker 6: have set up with this education, So let's stop doing that. 1074 00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:16,560 Speaker 6: Let's not bomb these apartment buildings, Let's not bomb a 1075 00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:20,440 Speaker 6: tense city, like, let's not displace two million people and 1076 00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:23,200 Speaker 6: then bomb them in their tents. Let's not do that, 1077 00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,320 Speaker 6: because even if you don't care about the people themselves, 1078 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:27,720 Speaker 6: it looks really bad. 1079 00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:32,360 Speaker 4: You're being way too logical, way too logical. 1080 00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,920 Speaker 6: So you're going to dial back, And okay, you can 1081 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:39,040 Speaker 6: dial back holocaust education all you want. People as human 1082 00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:44,360 Speaker 6: beings understand that if a big, powerful force is bombing 1083 00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:48,640 Speaker 6: unarmed people in their tents, that is wrong. You don't 1084 00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 6: actually need education to understand that. You understand that as 1085 00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:58,520 Speaker 6: a human. In fact, almost all animals understand that, not 1086 00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:03,360 Speaker 6: just humans in the animal kingdom, when animals like give 1087 00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 6: themselves up oftentimes that that animal instinct devour them evaporates. 1088 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 6: Like you know, when two dogs are fighting, if the 1089 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,640 Speaker 6: dog gives up and exposes its belly in its neck, 1090 00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:18,080 Speaker 6: the other dog will back off. That those dogs did 1091 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 6: not need education. 1092 00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:22,000 Speaker 3: To get there. 1093 00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,600 Speaker 6: It's a it's not just a human impulse. It's it's 1094 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,200 Speaker 6: across the animal kingdom for the most part. And so 1095 00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:31,120 Speaker 6: you can go ahead and root out holocaust education all 1096 00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:35,160 Speaker 6: you want. People are still going to understand that if unarmed, 1097 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,600 Speaker 6: innocent civilians are being bombed intense that's wrong, and the 1098 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 6: people doing the bombing are wrong and should be prosecuted 1099 00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:42,720 Speaker 6: in jailed. 1100 00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:44,440 Speaker 3: Everyone's going to understand that. 1101 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 5: Some background on Sarah Hurwitz. She is a very sort 1102 00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:52,920 Speaker 5: of mainstream democratic establishment figure. She was appointed by Barack 1103 00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:56,400 Speaker 5: Obama to the US Holocaust Memorial Council right before the 1104 00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,919 Speaker 5: end of his second term, right before Donald Trump took office. 1105 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,920 Speaker 5: Tried he from Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, General Wesley Clark. 1106 01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,640 Speaker 5: John Kerry goes back to the early Odes, but has 1107 01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:13,160 Speaker 5: done the tour of kind of normy centrist Democrats over 1108 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:14,360 Speaker 5: the last couple of decades. 1109 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:15,960 Speaker 6: So totally like I feel like I know her a 1110 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,080 Speaker 6: little bit, like she would be in my circles, like 1111 01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 6: and I'm sure like outside of this is like a 1112 01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:22,800 Speaker 6: lovely person. 1113 01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:27,280 Speaker 3: Wow, It's like what is what is? 1114 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:33,200 Speaker 6: What has what has broken in your brain to get 1115 01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:37,600 Speaker 6: to a place where you think the problem is not 1116 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:39,080 Speaker 6: what's happening. 1117 01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:41,920 Speaker 5: Or that it's okay to say that aloud.
