what a day to have you in here buddy kid in a candy shop we hacked the

0:19

government we hacked

0:20

the government's files evidently i mean this is we have three and a half

0:23

million files that it

0:24

feels like we should not have it would have been great to have had seven years

0:29

ago in 2019 when

0:31

this was being litigated but it's an incredible moment of transparency for how

0:35

the world works

0:36

how governments interact with the private sector and funds and it's just really

0:40

cool to be a part

0:41

of it what was the hold up what was the because it seemed like there was a lot

0:46

of people that did

0:48

not want these files released yeah i thought about this a lot what we have

0:54

access to now are

0:57

internal documents from the justice department and the fbi that are normally

1:02

even though they're not

1:04

classified they are part of a criminal investigation and so they're not

1:08

normally disclosable to the

1:09

public um it could be the case that it kind of required a congressional bill to

1:15

force this out

1:16

like when you if if there's a internal investigation and it's not a part of a

1:23

court document that's

1:24

entered into evidence you can't just foia the justice department to get dirt on

1:29

your political

1:31

enemies because you think that they might be involved in something now i don't

1:35

know if it could have been

1:36

done through an executive order around epstein transparency around the time of

1:40

the first binders

1:42

certainly it looked like there was friction between the president and thomas

1:48

massey over this issue

1:50

but i don't i don't know the details of what went down there but the fact is

1:55

the bill passed 427 to 1

1:58

in the house who's the one

2:00

my recollection is that it was randy fine but i might be wrong on that so i don't

2:08

want to smear

2:08

there was one person or imply anything i didn't want it released because they

2:12

thought it would compromise the victims right

2:14

um uh at one point in time at least

2:17

yeah i

2:18

i don't know what the what the rationale you know is and because i don't recall

2:25

offhand who the one

2:26

is uh i don't want to lean on that too much but uh the fact is is nobody wanted

2:32

to be on the other

2:33

side of this i can't think of anything that both republicans and democrats

2:37

voted on 427 to 1 and

2:40

oh i'm sorry clay higgins sorry apologies to randy fine

2:44

uh yeah so um there was the

2:50

i mean there was obviously friction because this implicates

2:55

everybody republicans and democrats uh americans and a dozen different foreign

3:01

countries

3:01

uh heads of major hedge funds and multinational corporations donors

3:07

to all political parties major university and science institutions uh

3:13

i mean

3:15

almost every major player in world affairs

3:19

was

3:20

in some way

3:23

either either involved in or adjacent to

3:27

this network or the network tried to reach out to them because they were

3:31

influential

3:32

and so

3:33

you know there was kind of a mutually assured destruction

3:37

around the epstein hot potato

3:39

for a decade now

3:41

which is that

3:42

you know

3:43

out of power

3:44

the republicans said

3:46

oh the democrats are

3:47

don't want to disclose this because of the clintons

3:50

and then

3:51

the trump administration gets into power

3:53

and there's

3:54

a very slow

3:55

you know reaction to

3:57

the kind of disclosures

3:59

that culminated in what happened this week

4:01

and so

4:02

you had the democrats saying

4:03

oh they're not disclosing it because of

4:05

you know

4:06

trump world

4:07

and his associates

4:08

meanwhile

4:09

they controlled the justice department

4:11

and the fbi

4:12

for four years

4:14

and didn't release

4:14

any

4:15

uh so

4:17

you know

4:18

it it took

4:18

in a moment like this

4:20

and

4:20

what's what's really interesting about it is

4:23

this bill

4:24

only compelled

4:25

the disclosure

4:26

this law

4:27

that passed in congress

4:28

only compelled the disclosure of

4:31

justice department

4:33

originated files

4:34

justice department by extension

4:36

fbi is the investigative arm of the justice department

4:38

it does not compel

4:40

cia originated files

4:42

and

4:44

one of the

4:45

coolest moments of transparency

4:47

we had

4:48

last year in 2025

4:49

was when

4:50

tulsi gabbard

4:51

as the

4:52

you know

4:53

odni

4:54

is the head of

4:54

director of

4:55

national intelligence

4:57

in charge of the whole intelligence community

4:59

spearheaded the

5:00

uh

5:01

jfk files

5:02

release

5:03

and we got

5:04

basically fully

5:05

unredacted

5:06

documents

5:08

now i know there's

5:09

a contest over how complete they are

5:11

but the fact is is it was

5:12

hundreds of thousands of files

5:15

that had never been seen before

5:16

or

5:17

unredacted versions of documents

5:19

that had been

5:20

fully or partially redacted for

5:23

decades

5:24

the only reason that we have

5:26

jfk files at all

5:27

is because in 1992

5:28

congress passed a bill to force the cia

5:31

to start turning over documents

5:33

the law i believe was called the jfk records collection act

5:37

and it forced

5:39

by law

5:40

the uh

5:41

the cia to establish this

5:42

independent

5:43

presidential

5:45

assassination review board

5:47

that would review documents

5:49

for declassification

5:51

and compel

5:51

uh

5:52

you know

5:53

on the basis of that

5:54

independent body

5:55

given all of the intelligence

5:57

intrigue around epstein

5:59

and the fact that

6:01

it is in my view

6:03

physically impossible

6:04

over epstein's 40-year career

6:07

in intelligence adjacent work

6:10

that there was

6:11

that there's not epstein files

6:13

that are cia originated

6:14

and

6:16

we actually

6:17

you know i i saw this in the files

6:22

that were just released

6:24

jeffrey epstein himself

6:26

twice

6:27

foiled

6:27

that's the freedom of information act

6:29

uh

6:30

which which is a law that

6:32

i think came around in 1966

6:34

which allows any u.s citizen

6:36

to

6:37

ask

6:38

any government agency

6:39

for all public records that it has

6:42

about anything

6:43

there are certain things that get blocked

6:46

in that

6:46

this is

6:47

there were a lot of foia fights about covid

6:49

uh

6:50

you know

6:50

fauci

6:51

famously there's this exchange where

6:53

um

6:54

you know one of the folks in fauci world says that

6:57

uh they learned cool tricks from the foia lady about how to

7:00

get around

7:01

requests but the fact is you can foia the cia

7:04

for records

7:05

uh because

7:07

it

7:07

that foia forces the cia to

7:09

give you

7:11

decl

7:11

declassified

7:13

or unclassified

7:14

records

7:15

and if it's classified it'll issue a glomar

7:17

uh

7:17

we cannot confirm or deny

7:19

right

7:20

the you know

7:20

and the existence or non-existence

7:22

of you know classified information

7:24

can we

7:25

before we get any further

7:26

the jfk stuff

7:28

i never heard anything about it

7:30

i mean i know

7:30

the files came out

7:32

but there was no big revelations

7:33

there was no

7:34

was

7:34

was there anything that came out of that

7:36

that was significant

7:37

i thought it was huge

7:39

i learned

7:40

i guess

7:41

people

7:42

are looking at the jfk files

7:46

most people are looking at it for

7:47

clues as to

7:49

who killed jfk

7:51

right

7:51

and i know that there are

7:52

many researchers

7:53

who specialize

7:54

in the jfk assassination

7:56

um

7:57

that

7:58

have sharpened their

8:00

theories i suppose

8:01

on the basis of it

8:02

in a useful way

8:03

for for whatever it's worth

8:05

uh

8:06

for me

8:07

i

8:08

you know

8:09

was never expecting

8:10

to see a cia document

8:11

saying uh

8:12

you know

8:13

i

8:15

james jesus angleton

8:16

authorized

8:17

the assassination

8:18

of uh

8:19

of course

8:19

the united states

8:20

uh

8:21

but

8:22

the fact is

8:23

is

8:23

what it

8:24

revealed

8:25

were all of these

8:26

tangential

8:27

and ancillary documents

8:28

that showed the structure

8:31

of intelligence work

8:32

at a very fine

8:33

and detailed

8:34

level

8:35

the kind of revelations

8:36

that really only come around

8:38

once in a generation

8:39

there's a

8:40

there's a video

8:41

online by

8:42

michael parenti

8:43

who's a cia whistleblower

8:45

around the time of the

8:46

iran contra hearings

8:47

in the 1980s

8:48

and he says

8:50

pay attention to these hearings

8:51

this

8:52

may be

8:54

the last time

8:55

for another

8:55

20

8:56

30

8:57

40 years

8:58

that you ever get

8:59

an inside look

9:00

at the

9:01

at the detailed

9:02

minutia

9:04

of a covert operation

9:06

because all this

9:07

was being blasted

9:08

on a congressional

9:09

jumbotron

9:10

with hearings

9:10

and

9:11

formal congressional

9:12

investigations

9:12

and public testimony

9:14

and

9:15

there's

9:17

I sort of look

9:18

at the JFK files

9:19

released like that

9:19

we got

9:20

a very detailed look

9:22

at

9:23

everything that was

9:24

happening around

9:26

effectively

9:27

operation mongoose

9:28

because

9:30

can you refresh my memory

9:32

what was a mongoose again

9:33

yeah so

9:34

so we had

9:35

so

9:35

there was

9:37

operation mongoose

9:37

and operation condor

9:38

which were

9:39

which were related

9:40

to the

9:41

nominally

9:44

what you'll read

9:44

is that they were

9:45

related to

9:46

the attempts

9:47

by

9:47

the CIA

9:48

to

9:49

for mongoose

9:50

for example

9:50

to destabilize

9:52

the government

9:52

of Cuba

9:53

in order to

9:54

induce a regime

9:54

change

9:55

but because

9:56

those efforts

9:57

proved unsuccessful

9:58

they regionalized

9:59

the conflict

10:00

to

10:01

do counter

10:03

communism work

10:04

effectively

10:04

throughout all

10:06

of Latin America

10:07

the Caribbean

10:08

South America

10:09

and

10:10

operation condor

10:12

was effectively

10:13

a

10:13

kind of

10:14

counter

10:14

counter insurgency

10:15

strategy

10:16

to stop

10:17

the rise

10:17

of

10:18

left-wing

10:19

Marxist groups

10:20

who were trying

10:21

to throw off

10:22

the yoke of

10:22

American imperialism

10:24

so to speak

10:25

as they put it

10:26

and so

10:27

you had

10:27

a massive CIA

10:28

operation

10:29

to try to

10:30

tilt the internal

10:31

politics

10:32

of

10:33

basically

10:34

every country

10:35

south of the border

10:36

and

10:37

we got

10:38

incredibly

10:39

just

10:39

detailed

10:40

I'll give you

10:41

an example

10:41

of one

10:41

declassified document

10:42

that's really wild

10:43

there's one

10:45

document that

10:46

is a

10:48

CIA file

10:50

with instructions

10:51

to

10:52

delete all

10:54

physical copies

10:55

of the document

10:56

at the end

10:57

that

10:58

describes

10:59

how

11:00

the agency

11:01

had internally

11:02

authorized

11:02

an attempt

11:03

to

11:04

assassinate

11:04

you know

11:07

Castro

11:07

by

11:08

working

11:09

through

11:09

the

11:11

Meyer-Lansky

11:11

syndicate

11:12

and hiring

11:14

two

11:14

hitmen

11:15

that

11:17

were in

11:18

Miami

11:18

and then

11:19

but had

11:20

contacts

11:21

with the

11:22

Cuban exile

11:22

community

11:23

liaisons

11:24

within Cuba

11:25

and

11:26

so

11:27

this

11:27

was a

11:27

formal

11:28

agency

11:29

file

11:30

that

11:31

described

11:31

how

11:32

a

11:33

CIA

11:33

case

11:34

officer

11:34

made

11:35

contact

11:36

with

11:36

people

11:37

from

11:38

the mob

11:38

organized

11:39

crime

11:40

with

11:41

offers

11:42

of payoffs

11:44

with very

11:44

detailed

11:45

logistics

11:46

you can

11:46

find this

11:47

I did

11:47

hold video

11:48

on it

11:48

on my

11:48

the

11:50

ex-subscriber

11:51

thing

11:51

I'll

11:52

put it

11:54

on the top

11:54

of my

11:54

social media

11:55

but

11:56

it also

11:58

describes

11:58

a really

11:59

interesting

11:59

Jeffrey Epstein

12:03

like

12:03

figure

12:06

Robert

12:06

Mayhew

12:07

was a

12:08

CIA

12:09

asset

12:10

the

12:11

JFK

12:12

files

12:12

they

12:14

describe

12:14

how

12:15

they

12:15

got

12:15

they

12:18

sponsored

12:18

a movie

12:19

to

12:21

simulate

12:22

I believe

12:22

it was

12:22

the

12:23

president

12:23

of

12:23

Indonesia

12:24

having

12:26

an affair

12:27

with a

12:27

blonde

12:27

woman

12:28

they

12:29

filmed

12:29

a

12:30

basically

12:32

like a

12:33

porno

12:33

that

12:34

would

12:35

and

12:36

to

12:37

create

12:37

a

12:37

tape

12:38

and

12:38

they

12:38

had

12:38

very

12:39

they

12:39

described

12:40

how

12:40

they

12:40

set

12:41

up

12:41

the

12:41

room

12:42

to

12:42

make

12:42

it

12:42

look

12:42

like

12:43

it

12:43

was

12:43

I

12:44

think

12:44

in

12:44

the

12:45

presidential

12:45

palace

12:45

or

12:46

some

12:46

hotel

12:46

room

12:46

that

12:47

was

12:47

would

12:48

have

12:48

been

12:48

in

12:48

in

12:49

that

12:49

country

12:50

in

12:51

order

12:51

to

12:51

create

12:51

what's

12:52

effectively

12:52

a

12:53

sexual

12:53

blackmail

12:54

tape

12:54

that

12:55

could

12:56

then

12:57

be

12:57

leaked

12:58

to

12:59

the

12:59

press

12:59

in

13:00

order

13:00

to

13:01

discredit

13:02

the

13:03

president

13:03

and

13:04

you

13:06

these

13:06

informal

13:07

agency

13:07

files

13:08

and

13:08

on

13:09

the

13:09

one

13:09

hand

13:09

you

13:09

go

13:10

okay

13:10

that

13:11

was

13:11

the

13:11

1960s

13:12

that

13:12

was

13:12

the

13:12

early

13:13

1960s

13:14

that

13:15

was

13:15

before

13:15

there

13:15

was

13:15

any

13:16

oversight

13:16

on

13:16

the

13:16

CIA

13:17

at

13:17

all

13:17

it

13:18

wasn't

13:18

until

13:18

the

13:18

church

13:18

committee

13:19

hearings

13:19

in

13:19

1975

13:20

1976

13:21

that

13:22

we

13:22

even

13:22

had

13:23

congressional

13:24

oversight

13:24

of

13:25

the

13:25

CIA

13:25

there

13:26

was

13:26

no

13:26

senate

13:27

intelligence

13:27

committee

13:27

there

13:27

was

13:28

no

13:28

house

13:28

intelligence

13:28

committee

13:29

at

13:29

the

13:29

time

13:29

and

13:30

at

13:31

that

13:31

point

13:31

assassinations

13:33

had not

13:33

been

13:34

outlawed

13:34

I mean

13:34

the

13:35

CIA

13:35

was

13:35

allowed

13:36

to

13:36

assassinate

13:36

people

13:37

there

13:38

there's

13:38

since

13:38

been

13:39

a

13:39

ban

13:39

on

13:39

that

13:39

so

13:40

you

13:40

go

13:40

okay

13:40

that's

13:40

60

13:41

years

13:41

ago

13:41

but

13:43

the fact

13:43

is

13:43

they

13:43

did

13:44

it

13:44

the

13:45

fact

13:45

is

13:45

that

13:46

is

13:46

within

13:47

the

13:47

array

13:48

of

13:48

options

13:48

that

13:50

folks

13:50

in

13:51

covert

13:51

operations

13:52

saw

13:53

as

13:53

on

13:53

the

13:53

table

13:54

working

13:54

with

13:54

the

13:54

mob

13:55

now

13:56

but

13:56

that

13:56

goes

13:56

back

13:57

a

13:57

long

13:57

time

13:57

I

13:58

found

13:58

it

13:58

totally

13:59

unsurprising

13:59

it's

14:00

one

14:00

of

14:00

these

14:00

things

14:01

it's

14:01

kind

14:01

of

14:01

the

14:01

general

14:02

theme

14:02

it's

14:02

shocked

14:03

but

14:03

not

14:03

surprised

14:04

you

14:04

know

14:05

it's

14:05

like

14:05

holy

14:06

crap

14:07

they

14:07

they

14:08

put

14:08

this

14:08

in

14:08

writing

14:09

what

14:10

are

14:10

we

14:10

doing

14:10

here

14:11

guys

14:11

but

14:13

you're

14:13

like

14:13

but

14:13

I'm

14:13

not

14:13

surprised

14:14

they

14:14

did

14:14

it

14:14

because

14:15

I

14:15

know

14:15

they

14:16

were

14:16

doing

14:16

all

14:16

these

14:16

other

14:16

things

14:17

the

14:17

fact

14:17

is

14:17

the

14:18

CIA

14:19

was

14:20

working

14:20

with

14:21

the

14:21

mob

14:21

before

14:22

there

14:23

was

14:23

CIA

14:24

before

14:25

it

14:25

was

14:25

done

14:26

by

14:26

the

14:26

CIA

14:26

work

14:28

with

14:28

for

14:28

example

14:29

the

14:29

Italian

14:30

mob

14:30

was

14:31

done

14:32

through

14:32

the

14:32

Department

14:33

of

14:33

War

14:33

in

14:34

the

14:34

really

14:35

starting

14:35

in

14:36

the

14:36

1930s

14:37

and

14:38

then

14:38

especially

14:39

in the

14:39

1940s

14:40

because

14:41

they

14:42

were

14:42

the

14:42

central

14:43

intelligence

14:44

agency

14:44

at the

14:45

time

14:46

it

14:46

was

14:46

the

14:46

OSS

14:46

in

14:47

the

14:47

1940s

14:47

but

14:47

it

14:48

would

14:48

become

14:48

the

14:48

CIA

14:48

one

14:49

of

14:50

their

14:50

main

14:50

logistical

14:51

points

14:52

of

14:52

contact

14:53

and

14:53

allies

14:53

for

14:54

the

14:54

resistance

14:55

against

14:55

Mussolini

14:56

in

14:57

Italy

14:57

Mussolini

14:58

was

14:59

cracking

14:59

down

14:59

both

15:00

on

15:00

the

15:00

Vatican

15:00

Church

15:01

and

15:02

on

15:02

the

15:02

Italian

15:03

mafia

15:04

and

15:05

so

15:05

there were

15:07

strange

15:07

bedfellas

15:07

there's

15:08

a great

15:08

book

15:08

on

15:08

this

15:08

by

15:08

Paul

15:09

Williams

15:09

I think

15:10

it was

15:10

published

15:10

in

15:10

2017

15:11

it's

15:11

called

15:11

Operation

15:12

Gladio

15:12

the

15:13

CIA

15:13

the

15:14

Vatican

15:14

and

15:14

the

15:14

mob

15:15

and

15:16

it's

15:17

I

15:18

recommend

15:18

this

15:18

book

15:18

to

15:19

everyone

15:19

because

15:19

it's

15:20

a

15:20

really

15:20

really

15:21

detailed

15:22

academic

15:24

deep

15:26

deep

15:26

deep

15:26

dive

15:26

on

15:27

this

15:27

nexus

15:28

between

15:28

a

15:29

religious

15:30

institution

15:30

an

15:31

intelligence

15:31

agency

15:32

an

15:34

illegal

15:35

organized

15:35

crime

15:36

syndicate

15:37

that does

15:39

all manner

15:39

of

15:39

black

15:40

ops

15:40

and

15:41

it

15:42

especially

15:42

focuses

15:42

on the

15:43

funding

15:43

relationship

15:44

in fact

15:45

this just

15:46

came out

15:46

and this

15:47

sort of

15:47

gets the

15:48

utility

15:48

of these

15:48

documents

15:49

there's

15:50

an

15:50

incredible

15:50

document

15:52

that just

15:53

was released

15:53

this week

15:54

where Larry

15:55

Summers

15:55

who was

15:56

the

15:57

head

15:57

of the

15:58

U.S.

15:58

Treasury

15:58

so not only

16:00

was he

16:00

the head

16:00

of Harvard

16:01

University

16:01

and the

16:02

head

16:02

of

16:02

the

16:04

American

16:04

money

16:04

system

16:05

but

16:07

he

16:08

he

16:09

says

16:09

to

16:10

he's

16:11

trying to

16:11

explain

16:11

to Jeffrey

16:12

Epstein

16:12

kind of

16:13

the

16:13

politics

16:14

of what's

16:14

happening

16:15

in the

16:15

Vatican

16:15

and what

16:17

he says

16:17

to him

16:18

is that

16:18

what's

16:18

what's

16:19

actually

16:19

most

16:19

important

16:19

going

16:20

on

16:20

right

16:20

now

16:20

is

16:21

what's

16:21

happening

16:22

with

16:22

the

16:22

Vatican

16:22

Bank

16:22

which

16:23

is

16:24

kind

16:24

of

16:24

the

16:24

deep

16:26

politics

16:27

of

16:27

the

16:27

Vatican

16:28

and

16:29

you know

16:29

I saw

16:30

this

16:30

email

16:30

and I

16:31

just

16:31

you know

16:32

laughed

16:33

and did

16:33

a little

16:33

you know

16:34

twirly

16:35

thing

16:35

in my

16:35

in my

16:36

chair

16:36

because

16:37

it's

16:37

it's

16:37

totally

16:38

unsurprising

16:38

if you

16:39

read

16:39

you know

16:40

that book

16:41

Operation

16:41

Gladio

16:42

that I

16:42

mentioned

16:43

it

16:44

it

16:45

traces

16:46

80

16:46

years

16:47

of this

16:47

because

16:48

the

16:49

Vatican Bank

16:49

was the

16:49

first

16:50

offshore

16:51

bank

16:51

before

16:52

offshore

16:53

banking

16:53

even

16:53

existed

16:54

it

16:55

was

16:56

you

16:56

there

16:57

was

16:57

an

16:57

alliance

16:57

with

16:58

the

16:58

Vatican

16:58

Bank

16:58

during

16:59

World War II

17:00

itself

17:00

with our

17:01

Department

17:01

of War

17:01

and with

17:02

organized crime

17:04

outfits

17:04

at least

17:05

according to

17:05

the evidence

17:06

that I find

17:07

persuasive in

17:07

this book

17:08

and that

17:08

appears to be

17:09

validated by

17:10

Italian court

17:11

documents in

17:12

the 1990s

17:12

when all

17:13

of this was

17:13

litigated

17:14

incidentally

17:15

that was

17:15

when the

17:16

mob was

17:17

really

17:17

prosecuted

17:17

for the

17:18

first time

17:18

but

17:20

effectively

17:20

what happened

17:21

was is you

17:21

had strange

17:22

bedfellows

17:22

you had the

17:23

United States

17:24

who wanted

17:24

to get rid

17:24

of Mussolini

17:25

you had the

17:25

Vatican

17:26

who wanted

17:26

to get rid

17:26

of Mussolini

17:27

and you

17:27

had organized

17:28

crime

17:28

who wanted

17:28

to get rid

17:29

of Mussolini

17:30

and because

17:31

organized crime

17:32

is very deep

17:33

in the logistics

17:34

and unions

17:35

they control

17:36

the ports

17:36

they control

17:37

the streets

17:38

they control

17:39

safe houses

17:39

and if

17:42

they have

17:42

allies

17:43

in a

17:44

bank

17:44

they are

17:46

able to

17:46

launder

17:47

money

17:48

effectively

17:48

in order

17:49

to do

17:51

black market

17:51

you know

17:52

type

17:53

trade

17:53

and if

17:56

you have

17:57

for example

17:57

the support

17:58

of the US

17:58

government

17:59

to facilitate

17:59

that

18:00

and there's

18:02

protection

18:02

offered

18:03

to those

18:03

organized crime

18:04

groups

18:04

what you end

18:06

up having

18:06

is effectively

18:08

state

18:09

sponsored

18:10

a state

18:12

sponsored

18:12

mafia

18:13

with an

18:14

untouchable

18:14

bank

18:15

and at the

18:15

time

18:15

because

18:17

and Larry

18:18

Summers

18:18

explains this

18:19

to Jeffrey

18:20

Epstein

18:20

in very

18:21

simple terms

18:22

which is

18:23

which is

18:24

yeah

18:24

here you go

18:25

the most

18:25

important change

18:26

in the

18:26

Vatican

18:26

may not

18:27

be Pope

18:28

Benedict

18:28

son

18:29

retirement

18:29

but change

18:30

in leadership

18:31

of the

18:31

Institute

18:31

for Works

18:31

of Religion

18:32

the Vatican's

18:33

bank

18:34

because of

18:34

the Vatican's

18:35

status as a

18:36

sovereign country

18:36

it's exempt

18:37

from transparency

18:37

rules of not

18:38

only Italy

18:39

but of the

18:39

European Union

18:40

this status

18:41

allows its elite

18:42

clients to evade

18:43

any scrutiny

18:43

in their money

18:44

transfers

18:44

last May

18:45

Vatican Bank

18:46

president

18:47

was fired

18:47

after Italian

18:48

authorities

18:48

opened an

18:49

investigation

18:49

into a

18:50

far-flung

18:50

bribery scheme

18:51

and he goes

18:53

through this

18:53

but

18:53

what's

18:55

important here

18:55

is the

18:56

British

18:57

when we think

18:57

of offshore

18:58

banking now

18:59

it's usually

18:59

associated

19:01

with

19:02

Cayman Islands

19:03

Cayman Islands

19:04

you know

19:04

Jersey

19:05

Man

19:06

Panama

19:07

you know

19:09

but

19:10

Panama's

19:10

sort of

19:10

a different

19:11

story

19:11

but it's

19:12

usually

19:12

associated

19:12

with these

19:13

kind of

19:13

small

19:13

island

19:14

countries

19:14

that are

19:16

formerly

19:16

you know

19:17

kind of

19:17

their own

19:18

territory

19:18

their own

19:19

sort of

19:19

sovereign

19:20

territory

19:20

you also

19:21

see this

19:21

within the

19:22

United States

19:23

in

19:23

Indian

19:25

Native

19:25

American

19:25

reservations

19:26

with these

19:27

kind of

19:27

autonomous

19:28

zones

19:28

that can

19:29

be shielded

19:30

from certain

19:30

kinds of

19:31

you know

19:32

public

19:32

disclosures

19:33

that

19:33

a typical

19:34

finance

19:35

institution

19:35

great

21:19

I haven't seen it

21:19

but yeah

21:20

it's awesome

21:20

it's fantastic

21:21

and you know

21:22

it goes through

21:23

how this was used

21:25

effectively by the NSA

21:26

during the

21:27

promise software

21:29

scandal

21:30

and the Iran

21:31

Contra scandal

21:32

of the 1980s

21:33

where

21:34

you had

21:35

basically the NSA

21:36

and then

21:37

the US

21:38

government

21:39

running money

21:41

laundering

21:41

effectively

21:42

through

21:42

you know

21:43

casinos

21:44

on

21:44

on Native

21:46

American

21:46

sovereign

21:47

territory

21:48

but

21:48

the fact

21:49

is

21:49

in the 1940s

21:51

the Vatican

21:51

Bank

21:52

was really

21:52

the only

21:52

game in town

21:53

this traces

21:54

back

21:54

at the CIA

21:55

level

21:55

to a lawyer

21:56

named Paul

21:56

Hallowell

21:57

who was

21:58

kind of

21:59

the architect

22:00

of money

22:01

laundering

22:01

for the CIA

22:02

and it

22:04

didn't even

22:04

start

22:05

really started

22:06

with the

22:07

the attempt

22:08

to try

22:09

to stop

22:09

Mao

22:10

in the

22:11

1930s

22:12

and 1940s

22:13

there was

22:15

there were

22:16

the opium

22:16

wars

22:17

in the

22:17

1830s

22:18

where

22:19

effectively

22:20

the British

22:21

Empire

22:21

and you

22:24

know

22:24

the East

22:24

India

22:24

Trading

22:25

Company

22:25

were

22:26

making

22:27

ungodly

22:29

amounts of

22:30

money

22:30

by

22:31

selling

22:32

opium

22:32

to China

22:33

they

22:33

would

22:33

grow

22:34

the

22:34

opium

22:34

on the

22:35

Golden

22:35

Crescent

22:35

or India

22:37

and then

22:37

they

22:37

would

22:37

sell

22:38

it

22:38

to

22:39

China

22:39

with

22:40

the

22:40

huge

22:40

customer

22:41

base

22:41

which

22:41

would

22:41

bring

22:42

in

22:42

huge

22:42

amounts

22:42

of

22:42

revenues

22:43

to the

22:43

British

22:43

crown

22:44

and then

22:45

there

22:46

were

22:46

two

22:46

opium

22:46

wars

22:47

that

22:47

were

22:47

fought

22:47

in

22:47

the

22:48

1830s

22:49

and

22:49

50s

22:50

I

22:50

believe

22:50

around

22:50

then

22:51

and

22:52

the

22:53

opium

22:53

wars

22:54

were

22:54

China's

22:55

attempt

22:55

to

22:56

stop

22:56

the

22:58

import

22:58

of

22:59

opium

22:59

into

22:59

China

22:59

because

23:00

it

23:00

had

23:00

a

23:00

huge

23:00

by

23:01

that

23:01

point

23:01

opium

23:03

addiction

23:03

problem

23:04

opium

23:04

dens

23:05

in

23:05

China

23:05

were

23:06

a

23:06

massive

23:07

issue

23:07

within

23:07

the

23:07

country

23:08

they

23:08

tried

23:08

to

23:08

ban

23:08

it

23:09

and

23:10

the

23:10

British

23:10

crown

23:10

pried

23:11

open

23:11

the

23:12

narcotics

23:12

market

23:13

through

23:14

a

23:14

military

23:15

conquest

23:16

of parts

23:17

of China

23:17

that's

23:17

how

23:18

Britain

23:18

got

23:18

control

23:19

of Hong

23:19

Kong

23:19

which

23:20

remains

23:20

a

23:21

major

23:21

narco

23:22

trafficking

23:22

site

23:23

connected

23:24

to

23:24

Jeffrey

23:24

Epstein

23:24

in

23:25

very

23:25

weird

23:25

ways

23:25

I'll

23:26

just

23:26

sidebar

23:27

that

23:27

but

23:28

Mao

23:29

rose

23:29

to

23:30

power

23:30

to

23:30

you know

23:31

in the

23:32

name

23:32

of

23:32

his

23:33

public

23:33

campaign

23:33

was about

23:34

rejecting

23:34

the

23:34

century

23:35

of

23:35

humiliation

23:35

between

23:36

the

23:36

1830s

23:37

and

23:37

the

23:37

1930s

23:38

to

23:38

support

23:39

Chiang

23:40

Hai

23:40

Shek

23:40

and

23:41

the

23:41

Kuomintang

23:42

the

23:42

Chinese

23:43

nationalists

23:43

against

23:43

the

23:43

Chinese

23:44

communists

23:44

the

23:45

war

23:46

department

23:46

couldn't

23:46

get

23:47

enough

23:47

congressional

23:48

allocations

23:48

taxpayer

23:49

money to

23:50

support

23:50

that

23:50

so

23:51

they

23:51

had

23:51

to

23:51

find

23:52

some

23:52

way

23:52

to

23:53

finance

23:53

the

23:54

forces

23:55

that

23:55

are

23:55

now

23:55

effectively

23:56

Taiwan

23:56

because

23:57

when

23:57

they

23:57

ultimately

23:58

lost

23:58

they

23:58

fled

23:59

to

23:59

the

23:59

island

24:00

Formosa

24:00

which is

24:01

now

24:01

Taiwan

24:01

but

24:02

they

24:03

financed

24:03

that

24:04

initially

24:04

the

24:05

war

24:05

department

24:05

the

24:06

Chinese

24:07

nationalists

24:07

through

24:07

the

24:07

narcotics

24:08

trade

24:08

through

24:09

the

24:09

basically

24:10

the

24:11

narcotics

24:12

cultivated

24:12

cultivated

24:12

in

24:12

the

24:12

golden

24:13

triangle

24:13

and

24:14

these

24:15

operations

24:16

continued

24:16

in

24:17

Cambodia

24:17

and

24:17

Laos

24:18

and

24:18

were

24:18

a big

24:19

part

24:19

of

24:19

the

24:19

JFK

24:20

expansion

24:21

of

24:22

covert

24:22

operations

24:23

to this

24:24

day

24:25

in

24:25

Fort Bragg

24:25

the

24:26

you know

24:27

the

24:27

special

24:28

operations

24:28

training

24:28

center

24:29

is

24:29

called

24:29

the

24:29

JFK

24:30

this

24:31

was a

24:31

massive

24:32

expansion

24:32

of

24:32

small

24:33

wars

24:33

covert

24:34

action

24:34

instead

24:35

of

24:35

big

24:35

military

24:36

action

24:36

so

24:37

it

24:37

was

24:37

mostly

24:37

spearheaded

24:38

by CIA

24:38

rather than

24:39

DOD

24:40

or

24:40

Department

24:40

of War

24:41

but

24:41

what

24:42

happened

24:42

was

24:42

is

24:42

Paul

24:43

Hallowell

24:43

in

24:44

order

24:44

to

24:45

be

24:46

able

24:47

to

24:47

traffic

24:47

illegal

24:48

narcotics

24:48

created

24:49

a bunch

24:50

of

24:50

these

24:50

CIA

24:51

banking

24:51

structures

24:52

one's

24:52

called

24:53

Castle

24:53

Bank

24:53

and

24:53

Trust

24:54

in

24:55

the

24:55

Cayman

24:55

Islands

24:56

another

24:56

one

24:57

is

24:57

Nugan

24:57

Hand

24:58

in

24:58

Australia

24:59

and

25:00

when

25:00

you

25:00

have

25:01

that

25:01

friendly

25:02

bank

25:02

that's

25:03

protected

25:04

then

25:05

you

25:05

can

25:05

move

25:06

drugs

25:07

this

25:08

is

25:08

this

25:08

overworld

25:09

underworld

25:09

alliance

25:10

between

25:10

intelligence

25:12

and

25:12

organized

25:12

crime

25:13

because

25:13

basically

25:14

every

25:15

intelligence

25:15

operation

25:16

is

25:18

I want

25:19

to say

25:19

every

25:19

but

25:20

at the

25:21

operational

25:21

level

25:22

it's

25:22

a crime

25:23

it's

25:24

an act

25:24

of

25:24

sabotage

25:26

it's

25:27

an act

25:27

of

26:51

you

know

26:52

in

26:52

the

1940s

26:53

USAID

26:54

didn't

26:54

even

26:54

exist

26:55

you

can't

from

26:59

you

from

for

their

own

27:05

so

27:05

how

27:06

do

27:06

you

27:06

get

27:06

your

27:07

27:09

it

that

comes

down

to

27:12

black

27:13

market

27:15

diamonds

27:15

in

27:15

Africa

27:16

whether

27:17

that's

27:18

illegal

27:18

mining

27:18

activities

27:19

in

27:20

South

27:20

America

27:20

or

27:20

whether

27:21

that's

27:21

narcotics

27:22

and

27:22

it's

27:23

the best

27:24

things to

27:25

use for

27:25

this

27:25

kind of

27:26

covert

27:26

financing

27:27

are

27:27

small

27:28

fungible

27:29

physical

27:30

materials

27:32

that

27:32

can

27:33

be

27:33

converted

27:33

into

27:33

large

27:34

sums

27:34

of

27:34

cash

27:35

for

27:36

example

27:37

like

27:37

a

27:37

truck

27:37

full

27:38

of

27:38

cocaine

27:38

can

27:38

fund

27:39

an

27:39

army

27:40

a

27:41

truck

27:41

full

27:41

of

27:42

copper

27:42

can't

27:43

and

27:43

so

27:44

you

27:45

had

27:45

this

27:46

state

27:46

sanctioned

27:47

drug

27:47

trade

27:48

this

27:48

state

27:49

sanctioned

27:49

illegal

27:50

weapons

27:51

logistics

27:51

apparatus

27:52

and the

27:53

state

27:53

sanctioned

27:54

money

27:54

laundering

27:55

apparatus

27:55

that

27:56

started

27:58

in the

27:58

1940s

27:59

and was

28:00

utilized

28:01

throughout

28:01

the entirety

28:02

of the

28:02

Cold War

28:03

the

28:04

on the

28:06

mafia

28:06

side

28:07

in the

28:07

operation

28:10

gladio

28:10

was this

28:11

stay behind

28:11

network

28:12

is what

28:12

they

28:12

what they

28:13

said

28:13

basically

28:13

these

28:14

were

28:14

right wing

28:16

groups

28:17

many or

28:18

some of

28:18

which

28:19

were

28:20

kind of

28:21

Nazi

28:21

adjacent

28:22

who

28:23

hated

28:24

communism

28:24

and so

28:25

even

28:25

though

28:26

we

28:26

fought

28:26

against

28:27

the

28:27

Nazis

28:27

in

28:28

Mussolini

28:29

and

28:29

Hitler

28:29

in

28:29

World

28:29

War

28:30

II

28:30

there

28:31

was

28:31

a

28:31

utility

28:32

to

28:33

preserving

28:35

a

28:36

certain

28:36

homegrown

28:38

domestic

28:38

network

28:39

that

28:39

really

28:40

hated

28:40

communism

28:41

to

28:42

assist

28:42

us

28:42

on

28:43

the

28:43

ground

28:43

in

28:44

the

28:44

war

28:44

against

28:45

communism

28:45

and

28:46

what

28:46

you

28:46

saw

28:46

was

28:47

in

28:47

Operation

28:48

Gladio

28:48

this

28:49

was

28:49

a

28:49

NATO

28:49

wide

28:50

covert

28:51

network

28:54

alignment

28:55

alliance

28:55

of

28:56

networks

28:56

and

28:56

network

28:56

of

28:56

networks

28:57

that

28:58

in

28:58

basically

28:58

every

28:59

one

28:59

of

28:59

the

28:59

NATO

28:59

countries

29:00

there

29:00

was

29:00

a

29:01

cell

29:01

or

29:01

a

29:02

number

29:02

of

29:02

cluster

29:03

cells

29:03

that

29:04

were

29:04

set

29:04

up

29:04

in

29:05

order

29:05

to

29:06

covertly

29:07

influence

29:07

the

29:07

domestic

29:08

politics

29:08

of

29:08

the

29:08

country

29:09

and

29:10

if

29:10

you

29:10

look

29:10

at

29:10

the

29:10

members

29:11

of

29:11

these

29:11

cluster

29:11

cells

29:12

there

29:12

some

29:12

of

29:12

them

29:12

like

29:14

Silvio

29:15

Berlusconi

29:15

was

29:15

a

29:15

part

29:16

of

29:16

the

29:16

so

29:17

called

29:17

P2

29:18

lounge

29:18

that

29:19

came up

29:20

in the

29:21

Operation

29:21

Gladio

29:22

files

29:22

when

29:22

the

29:22

Italian

29:23

government

29:23

basically

29:24

put

29:25

all this

29:25

on trial

29:26

in the

29:26

1990s

29:27

and

29:27

that

29:27

structure

29:28

is still

29:28

used

29:28

by

29:29

intelligence

29:29

today

29:29

if

29:31

you

29:31

go to

29:31

my

29:31

X feed

29:32

and

29:32

you

29:32

look

29:32

up

29:33

for

29:33

example

29:34

Ann

29:35

Applebaum

29:36

and the

29:36

thread

29:37

that I

29:37

did

29:37

on

29:37

the

29:38

integrity

29:38

initiative

29:39

if

29:39

you

29:40

just

29:40

put

29:40

integrity

29:41

initiative

29:41

in

29:41

I

29:41

can

29:41

show

29:42

you

29:42

what

29:42

these

29:42

cluster

29:42

cells

29:43

look

29:43

like

29:43

and

29:45

it's

29:46

fascinating

29:47

to look

29:48

at the

29:48

organizational

29:48

structure

29:48

of it

29:49

but I

29:50

guess

29:51

what I'm

29:51

getting to

29:52

here

29:52

is

29:52

with

29:52

the

29:54

mob

29:55

and

29:55

the

29:56

Vatican

29:56

at

29:56

that

29:57

time

29:58

that

29:58

was

29:59

the

29:59

only

29:59

game

29:59

in

29:59

town

30:00

for

30:00

offshore

30:00

banking

30:00

if

30:01

you

30:01

wanted

30:01

to

30:01

have

30:02

a

30:02

bank

30:02

that

30:03

had

30:03

no

30:03

oversight

30:03

whatsoever

30:04

when

30:05

the

30:05

British

30:05

lost

30:06

the

30:06

Suez

30:07

Canal

30:07

in

30:07

1957

30:08

and

30:09

basically

30:09

had to

30:10

give up

30:10

their

30:11

empire

30:11

this is

30:12

during

30:12

decolonialization

30:13

the

30:14

British

30:15

empire

30:15

transitioned

30:15

from

30:16

a

30:16

physical

30:17

empire

30:17

to

30:18

a

30:18

financial

30:18

empire

30:19

and

30:19

moved

30:19

heavily

30:20

into

30:20

offshore

30:20

banking

30:21

that's

30:21

how

30:22

you

30:22

got

30:22

these

30:22

kind

30:22

of

30:23

you

30:23

know

30:24

BVI

30:25

British

30:25

Virgin

30:26

Islands

30:27

Cayman

30:27

Islands

30:28

you

30:28

know

30:29

Jersey

30:29

man

30:30

all

30:30

these

30:30

kind

30:31

of

30:31

British

30:31

offshore

30:32

banking

30:32

hubs

30:33

and

30:33

with

30:33

London

30:34

as

30:34

the

30:34

capital

30:36

of

30:36

international

30:36

finance

30:37

you

30:38

you

30:38

will

30:39

the

30:39

British

30:39

empire

30:40

was

30:40

effectively

30:40

able

30:41

to

30:41

maintain

30:42

a

30:42

comparable

30:42

level

30:43

of

30:44

imperial

30:45

vassal

30:45

state

30:46

control

30:46

without

30:46

having

30:47

physical

30:47

troops

30:48

or

30:48

physical

30:49

territorial

30:50

control

30:51

and

30:51

so

30:51

the

30:52

Vatican

30:52

bank

30:53

has

30:53

lost

30:53

a lot

30:54

of

30:54

its

30:54

rank

30:56

I

30:56

would

30:56

say

30:57

in

30:57

the

30:57

international

30:57

finance

30:58

system

30:59

since

31:00

the

31:00

1940s

31:00

because

31:00

the

31:01

market

31:01

so

31:02

saturated

31:02

now

31:02

with

31:02

offshore

31:02

banking

31:03

hubs

31:03

but

31:04

that

31:04

explains

31:05

what's

31:05

happening

31:05

in this

31:06

Larry

31:06

Summers

31:07

Jeffrey

31:07

Epstein

31:08

exchange

31:08

one of

31:12

the weirder

31:12

things

31:13

about

31:14

these

31:14

files

31:15

is

31:15

there's

31:15

some

31:16

stuff

31:16

in there

31:16

that you

31:17

go

31:17

okay

31:18

one thing

31:19

that we

31:19

know

31:20

happens

31:20

is when

31:21

something

31:21

is true

31:22

a bunch

31:23

stuff

31:23

gets attached

31:24

gets attached

31:24

to it

31:25

that's

31:25

both

31:25

not

31:25

true

31:26

and

31:26

also

31:26

preposterous

31:27

that

31:28

allows

31:28

you

31:29

to

31:29

sort

31:29

of

31:29

dismiss

31:30

all

31:31

of

31:31

it

31:31

together

31:31

there's

31:32

a lot

31:32

of

31:32

people

31:32

thought

31:33

about

31:33

that

31:33

with

31:33

Pizzagate

31:34

and

31:35

there's

31:35

some

31:35

stuff

31:36

that I

31:36

saw

31:36

online

31:37

that

31:38

was

31:38

like

31:38

George W.

31:39

Bush

31:39

was

31:39

like

31:40

involved

31:41

in

31:41

ritual

31:41

sacrifice

31:42

or

31:42

things

31:44

along

31:44

those

31:45

lines

31:45

like

31:45

killing

31:45

babies

31:46

and

31:47

eating

31:47

people

31:48

and

31:49

wild

31:50

shit

31:50

what

31:51

do

31:51

you

31:51

think

31:51

that

31:52

stuff

31:52

is

31:52

I

31:53

don't

31:54

know

31:54

I

31:54

don't

31:54

think

31:54

it

31:55

really

31:55

occurs

31:55

what

31:57

I'll

31:57

say

31:58

is

31:58

this

32:01

is

32:01

a

32:01

bad

32:02

week

32:03

to

32:03

be

32:03

a

32:04

total

32:04

Pizzagate

32:06

denialist

32:07

you

32:07

would

32:08

feel

32:08

a lot

32:08

more

32:09

comfortable

32:09

about

32:09

it

32:10

a week

32:10

ago

32:10

than

32:11

you

32:11

would

32:11

this

32:11

week

32:12

I

32:13

don't

32:13

particularly

32:14

focus

32:15

or

32:16

I don't

32:16

want to

32:16

say

32:16

care

32:17

I

32:17

don't

32:18

I

32:18

don't

32:18

my

32:19

knowledge

32:20

set

32:20

on

32:20

it

32:20

is

32:21

a

32:23

lot

32:23

more

32:23

limited

32:24

on

32:24

it

32:24

because

32:24

I

32:25

don't

32:26

think

32:26

it's

32:26

a

32:26

central

32:27

crux

32:28

of

32:29

political

32:30

influence

32:31

I

32:32

don't

32:33

know

32:33

if

32:33

it's

32:34

kind

32:34

of

32:34

almost

32:35

a

32:35

inside

32:36

joke

32:36

in a

32:37

certain

32:37

way

32:37

Jeffrey

32:38

Epstein

32:38

himself

32:39

in these

32:39

emails

32:39

is

32:40

unbelievably

32:40

trolly

32:41

you know

32:42

he'll

32:42

say

32:42

things

32:43

that

32:43

are

32:44

the

32:44

kind

32:44

of

32:45

you

32:46

know

32:46

shit

32:47

posts

32:47

you

32:47

say

32:48

to

32:48

a

32:49

buddy

32:49

or

32:50

your

32:50

brother

32:51

or

32:51

something

32:51

that

32:52

you

32:53

don't

32:53

mean

32:54

you

32:55

know

32:55

it's

32:55

kind of

32:56

cheek

32:57

but

32:58

you

32:59

if

33:00

if you

33:01

were a

33:01

cynical

33:02

out to get

33:03

you

33:03

person

33:04

who somehow

33:05

obtained that

33:06

text message

33:06

you'd say

33:08

oh look

33:09

he said

33:09

it

33:10

and so

33:11

so there's a lot

33:12

of that

33:12

going on

33:13

but the

33:13

fact is

33:13

is I

33:14

I've seen

33:14

some

33:15

I've seen

33:16

a lot

33:16

of

33:16

images

33:17

shared

33:18

around

33:19

the time

33:19

period

33:20

of when

33:20

Pizzagate

33:21

was popping

33:21

off

33:21

in 2016

33:22

that

33:23

all I'll

33:25

say is

33:25

it doesn't

33:26

it doesn't

33:27

look good

33:28

or easily

33:29

explainable

33:29

at the same

33:30

time

33:30

a lot

33:31

of those

33:31

screenshots

33:32

I have

33:32

not

33:33

you know

33:34

for most

33:35

of these

33:35

for the

33:35

things I've

33:36

posted

33:36

about

33:36

or that

33:36

I'm

33:37

talking

33:37

about

33:37

here

33:37

I've

33:37

gone

33:38

to the

33:38

Justice

33:38

Department

33:39

file

33:39

I've

33:39

looked at

33:40

the file

33:40

number

33:40

confirmed

33:41

whether or

33:42

not

33:42

the

33:42

screenshot

33:43

is

33:43

actually

33:43

what

33:44

it

33:44

is

33:44

for

33:44

those

33:45

I have

33:45

not

33:45

yet

33:46

but

33:47

I

33:49

would

33:50

not

33:50

I

33:53

wouldn't

33:53

feel

33:54

totally

33:54

confident

33:54

saying

33:55

there's

33:55

no

33:55

there

33:56

there

33:56

but

33:56

that's

33:57

that's

33:57

about

33:57

as far

33:58

as

33:58

I

33:58

can

33:58

go

33:58

on

33:59

that

33:59

when

33:59

you

33:59

say

33:59

images

33:59

what

34:00

are

34:00

you

34:00

talking

34:00

about

34:00

well

34:01

there's

34:01

a

34:01

lot

34:01

of

34:02

you

34:02

know

34:02

if

34:02

you

34:02

look

34:02

up

34:03

pizza

34:03

for

34:03

example

34:03

it's

34:04

just

34:04

as a

34:04

keyword

34:04

search

34:05

you'll

34:06

see

34:06

or

34:06

cheese

34:07

or

34:07

something

34:07

it

34:10

looks

34:10

like

34:10

in

34:10

the

34:11

DOJ

34:12

database

34:13

for

34:14

these

34:14

new

34:14

files

34:14

you'll

34:17

see

34:17

a lot

34:17

of

34:17

things

34:18

of

34:18

people

34:19

talking

34:20

about

34:20

pizza

34:21

in a

34:21

way

34:21

that

34:22

it

34:23

seems

34:23

like

34:23

a

34:23

code

34:23

kind

34:24

of

34:24

impossible

34:25

to

34:26

imagine

34:27

it's

34:27

actually

34:27

just

34:28

pizza

34:28

it's

34:29

about

34:29

you

34:30

know

34:30

what

34:30

I

34:31

mean

34:31

but

34:31

I

34:33

don't

34:34

to

34:34

me

34:34

there's

34:34

so

34:34

much

34:35

real

34:36

world

34:36

provable

34:37

things

34:38

in

34:38

there

34:38

and

34:38

also

34:39

so

34:39

many

34:39

kind

34:39

of

34:39

more

34:40

real

34:40

world

34:40

implications

34:41

of

34:43

allegations

34:44

that are

34:45

made

34:45

in the

34:46

files

34:47

that

34:48

kind

34:48

of

34:49

you

34:51

know

34:51

should

34:52

be

34:52

explained

34:53

like

34:55

a

34:56

common

34:56

mistake

34:57

that I

34:57

see

34:57

going

34:57

around

34:58

social

34:58

media

34:58

this

34:58

week

34:58

is

34:59

people

35:00

it

35:01

kind

35:01

of

35:01

gets

35:01

the

35:02

reason

35:02

that

35:02

the

35:02

FBI

35:03

and

35:04

the

35:05

president

35:05

was

35:05

arguing

35:06

that

35:06

these

35:07

files

35:07

shouldn't

35:07

be

35:07

released

35:07

in

35:07

the

35:08

first

35:08

place

35:08

which

35:08

is

35:08

that

35:08

people

35:08

would

35:09

take

35:09

things

35:09

out

35:09

of

35:09

context

35:10

and

35:10

wildly

35:11

think

35:12

things

35:12

are

35:12

true

35:13

that

35:13

are

35:13

not

35:13

because

35:13

they're

35:14

baseless

35:14

allegations

35:15

made

35:15

by

35:16

some

35:16

anonymous

35:17

tipster

35:17

but

35:18

because

35:18

it's

35:18

in

35:18

an

35:19

FBI

35:19

file

35:19

people

35:20

will

35:21

think

35:21

it's

35:21

true

35:21

now

35:21

I

35:22

don't

35:28

seen

35:28

that

35:29

phenomenon

35:29

run

35:30

away

35:31

and

35:32

some

35:33

of

35:34

this

35:34

I

35:34

know

35:34

is

35:35

kind

35:37

of

35:37

baseless

35:39

in terms

35:39

of the

35:39

factual

35:40

evidence

35:40

because

35:40

some

35:41

of the

35:41

people

35:42

one

35:43

of the

35:43

confidential

35:44

human

35:44

sources

35:45

for example

35:45

that

35:46

is

35:46

cited

35:47

the

35:47

first

35:48

day

35:48

of

35:48

the

35:48

drop

35:48

there

35:49

was

35:49

this

35:49

kind

35:49

of

35:49

bombshell

35:49

claim

35:50

in

35:52

the

35:52

this

35:53

is

35:53

probably

35:53

the

35:53

most

35:53

viral

35:54

post

35:54

the

35:54

first

35:55

day

35:55

of

35:55

the

35:55

DOJ

35:56

release

35:56

which

35:57

was

35:58

a

35:58

confidential

35:59

human

36:00

source

36:00

a

36:00

CHS

36:01

means

36:01

of

36:01

FBI

36:02

informant

36:02

who

36:04

the

36:05

FBI

36:06

internal

36:06

memo

36:07

describes

36:08

how this

36:09

confidential

36:09

human

36:09

source

36:10

reported

36:11

that

36:12

Alan

36:12

Dershowitz

36:13

was

36:13

a

36:14

Mossad

36:15

agent

36:15

and after

36:16

every

36:16

meeting

36:16

he

36:17

goes

36:18

back

36:18

and

36:19

tells

36:19

his

36:19

Mossad

36:20

handlers

36:21

what

36:22

they

36:23

talked

36:23

about

36:23

and

36:23

you

36:24

go

36:24

oh

36:24

my

36:24

god

36:24

it's

36:24

an

36:24

FBI

36:25

confidential

36:26

human

36:26

source

36:27

the

36:28

FBI

36:28

wouldn't

36:29

pay

36:30

an

36:30

informant

36:31

unless

36:31

they

36:31

found

36:31

them

36:31

credible

36:32

for

36:32

this

36:32

sort

36:32

of

36:32

thing

36:33

on

36:33

the

36:33

very

36:33

next

36:34

page

36:34

of

the

says

36:35

President

Trump

36:36

I'm

36:37

paraphrasing

36:37

you can

36:38

pull this

up

if you

36:39

want

36:40

36:44

and

36:44

they

36:44

have

36:45

I

36:45

forget

36:46

if he

36:46

says

36:46

blackmail

36:46

or

36:47

something

36:47

to this

36:48

effect

36:48

now

36:48

I don't

36:49

know

36:49

whether

36:50

either

36:50

of those

36:50

things

36:51

are true

36:52

or not

36:52

I don't

36:52

know

36:53

what

36:53

you know

36:54

any more

36:54

than anybody

36:55

else

36:55

who's done

36:56

research

36:56

on this

36:56

certainly

36:57

there's a lot

36:57

of overlap

36:58

between

36:58

Dershowitz

36:59

and the

36:59

Israeli

37:00

government

37:00

and high

37:01

level

37:01

Israeli

37:02

officials

37:02

so in

37:03

that sense

37:03

if that

37:04

were to

37:05

be

37:05

reported

37:06

I

37:06

don't

37:06

know

37:06

that

37:07

it

37:07

would

37:07

be

37:07

the

37:07

who

37:09

knows

37:10

about

37:10

whether

37:10

that's

37:11

true

37:11

or not

37:11

it's

37:11

but it

37:12

plays

37:12

into a

37:12

kind

37:13

of

37:13

confirmation

37:13

bias

37:14

that

37:14

a lot

37:14

of

37:15

people

37:15

have

37:15

and so

37:16

when you

37:16

see

37:16

that

37:16

in an

37:16

FBI

37:17

file

37:17

the

37:18

first

37:18

thing

37:18

your

37:18

instinct

37:19

is

37:19

if

37:19

you're

37:19

you know

37:20

if

37:21

that's

37:21

your

37:21

journalism

37:22

beat

37:22

is to

37:22

is to

37:23

write

37:23

all

37:23

about

37:24

it

37:24

and

37:24

get

37:24

millions

37:24

of

37:24

views

37:25

and

37:26

same

37:26

thing

37:26

there's

37:27

a

37:27

civil

37:27

war

37:27

right

37:28

now

37:28

that's

37:28

happening

37:28

over

37:29

issues

37:29

around

37:29

Israel

37:30

it's

37:31

you know

37:32

you say

37:33

oh my

37:33

god

37:33

it's been

37:34

proven

37:34

the FBI

37:35

knows

37:36

that

37:36

well

37:37

Ken

37:39

Silva

37:40

who's a

37:40

journalist

37:41

shortly

37:41

after that

37:42

published

37:43

a tweet

37:45

containing

37:46

a file

37:47

that had

37:48

much less

37:49

engagement

37:49

where he

37:50

said

37:50

actually

37:50

I

37:51

actually

37:51

have a

37:51

copy

37:52

of this

37:52

document

37:53

again

37:54

I'm

37:54

paraphrasing

37:55

here

37:55

where

37:56

it

37:57

matches

37:57

that

37:58

document

37:58

file

37:58

number

37:59

it's

37:59

got

37:59

the

37:59

same

37:59

text

38:00

and

38:00

it

38:00

looks

38:00

like

38:01

the

38:01

that

38:02

confidential

38:02

human

38:03

source

38:03

is

38:03

Chuck

38:04

Johnson

38:04

now

38:05

I

38:06

saw

38:06

that

38:06

and

38:06

I

38:07

went

38:07

oh

38:08

my

38:08

god

38:09

because

38:09

one

38:10

morning

38:10

I

38:11

woke

38:12

up

38:12

to

38:12

a

38:13

text

38:13

from

38:14

that

38:14

very

38:14

person

38:15

saying

38:16

this

38:17

about

38:17

two

38:17

years

38:17

ago

38:18

I

38:19

never

38:19

met

38:19

him

38:20

never

38:20

talked

38:21

to

38:21

him

38:21

don't

38:21

have

38:22

his

38:22

number

38:22

somehow

38:23

he

38:23

got

38:23

mine

38:24

and

38:25

messaged

38:25

me

38:25

on

38:25

signal

38:26

to

38:26

turn

38:27

myself

38:27

in

38:27

because

38:28

I'm

38:28

going

38:28

to

38:28

prison

38:28

he

38:30

then

38:30

proceeded

38:30

to

38:31

look up

38:32

my

38:34

ex-wife

38:35

and make

38:36

allegations

38:36

that I

38:37

was a

38:37

Mossad

38:38

agent

38:38

because

38:39

she

38:40

was a

38:41

prostitute

38:43

prostitute

38:43

from a

38:43

foreign

38:44

country

38:44

and

38:45

involved

38:46

in

38:46

all

38:46

these

38:46

Mossad

38:48

black

38:49

ops

38:49

type

38:49

things

38:49

now

38:50

he

38:50

didn't

38:50

even

38:50

get

38:50

the

38:51

name

38:51

right

38:51

he

38:52

found

38:52

a

38:52

different

38:53

person

38:54

with

38:54

a

38:55

similar

38:55

spelling

38:55

that

38:57

was

38:59

busted

39:00

for

39:00

prostitution

39:01

or

39:01

something

39:01

and

39:02

then

39:02

makes

39:03

these

39:03

giant

39:04

claims

39:04

on

39:04

social

39:05

media

39:05

that

39:06

you

39:07

know

39:07

I

39:07

have

39:08

been

39:08

like

39:08

married

39:09

to

39:09

a

39:10

foreign

39:11

spy

39:11

prostitute

39:12

or

39:12

something

39:12

and

39:12

then

39:13

he

39:13

goes

39:13

on

39:13

to

39:14

message

39:14

someone

39:15

he

39:15

thinks

39:15

is

39:15

my

39:16

donor

39:16

and

39:16

threaten

39:17

them

39:17

to

39:18

cut

39:19

off

39:19

funds

39:20

because

39:20

if

39:21

he

39:21

doesn't

39:22

then

39:23

I've

39:24

made

39:24

the

39:24

intelligence

39:24

community

39:25

very

39:26

angry

39:27

and

39:27

they

39:28

have

39:28

deputized

39:29

him

39:29

to

39:30

tell

39:30

the

39:30

person

39:30

he

39:31

thought

39:31

was

39:31

my

39:31

donor

39:31

that

39:32

the

39:32

intelligence

39:33

services

39:34

of the

39:34

United

39:34

States

39:35

of

39:35

America

39:35

will

39:36

crush

39:36

the

39:37

businesses

39:37

of

39:37

someone

39:37

he

39:38

thought

39:38

was

39:38

my

39:38

donor

39:38

if

39:40

he

39:40

doesn't

39:41

cut

39:41

off

39:41

the

39:42

funds

39:42

he

39:42

thought

39:43

that

39:43

person

39:43

was

39:43

giving

39:44

to

39:44

me

39:44

okay

39:45

this

39:45

is

39:46

that

39:46

confidential

39:47

human

39:47

source

39:47

or at

39:48

least

39:49

according

39:49

to the

39:49

reporting

39:49

of

39:50

Ken

39:50

Silva

39:50

that

39:53

the

39:54

level

39:55

of

39:55

things

39:55

that

39:56

are

39:56

untrue

39:57

about

39:57

that

39:58

combined

40:01

with the

40:01

fact

40:01

that

40:01

this

40:02

very

40:02

person

40:02

is

40:03

going

40:03

around

40:05

saying

40:06

that

40:06

not

40:07

he's

40:07

not

40:07

just

40:07

an

40:08

FBI

40:08

informant

40:09

but

40:09

that

40:09

he

40:09

actually

40:10

can

40:10

direct

40:11

the

40:12

intelligence

40:12

agencies

40:13

of the

40:13

United

40:13

States

40:14

to crush

40:15

someone's

40:15

private

40:15

practice

40:16

if they

40:16

don't

40:17

change

40:18

the

40:18

you know

40:19

their

40:19

discretionary

40:22

donations

40:23

to

40:25

someone

40:25

like

40:25

that's

40:27

the

40:27

person

40:27

you're

40:28

saying

40:29

that

40:30

person's

40:31

you know

40:33

comments

40:34

to a

40:35

FBI

40:35

officer

40:37

you know

40:38

task

40:40

force

40:40

prove

40:41

these

40:42

claims

40:42

about

40:43

Dershowitz

40:43

and

40:44

Trump

40:44

I mean

40:46

that's

40:47

that's

40:47

ridiculous

40:48

I know

40:48

firsthand

40:49

that there's

40:50

zero

40:50

credibility

40:50

to those

40:51

claims

40:51

now they

40:52

may be

40:52

true

40:53

or not

40:53

but the

40:54

fact is

40:54

you know

40:56

there's

40:57

there's a

40:57

lot of

40:58

context

40:58

to

40:59

to all

40:59

of these

41:00

what is

41:02

just because

41:02

it's said

41:03

in an

41:03

FBI file

41:04

does not

41:05

make it

41:05

true

41:05

we learned

41:05

that lesson

41:06

in

41:06

Russiagate

41:06

we learned

41:07

that lesson

41:07

with the

41:08

Steele

41:08

dossier

41:08

but

41:10

you know

41:10

that I

41:11

think that

41:11

same

41:12

sort of

41:12

caution

41:14

and prudence

41:14

should be

41:16

applied

41:16

with these

41:17

and I

41:18

think

41:19

ultimately

41:19

the truth

41:20

wins out

41:20

on these

41:20

things

41:21

it just

41:21

you know

41:22

takes longer

41:22

than you

41:23

might want

41:23

to

41:23

it's so

41:26

tangled

41:28

you know

41:29

the whole

41:30

thing

41:30

is just

41:30

I think

41:31

everybody

41:32

who

41:32

looks at

41:33

it

41:33

realizes

41:34

this is

41:35

a rabbit

41:35

hole

41:35

that just

41:36

goes to

41:36

the center

41:37

of the

41:37

earth

41:37

and there's

41:39

so many

41:39

people

41:39

involved

41:40

in

41:40

what

41:41

do

41:41

here's

41:42

here's

41:42

the big

41:43

question

41:43

that people

41:43

ask

41:43

if there

41:45

was a

41:45

Jeffrey

41:45

Epstein

41:46

and it

41:46

seems

41:47

like

41:47

all

41:47

these

41:47

things

41:48

he

41:48

was

41:48

involved

41:49

in

41:49

is

41:49

there

41:49

a

41:50

Jeffrey

41:50

Epstein

41:50

right

41:50

now

41:50

that

41:51

we

41:51

don't

41:51

know

41:51

about

41:51

there's

41:52

a million

41:52

of them

41:53

I mean

41:54

this is

41:54

why

41:54

this is

41:55

why

41:56

I

41:56

I find

41:58

the

41:58

this

41:58

you know

41:59

this is

41:59

not the

42:00

core

42:00

of what

42:00

I

42:00

focus

42:01

on

42:01

but I

42:03

find it

42:04

a really

42:05

interesting

42:05

field of

42:06

study

42:06

because it

42:07

helps

42:07

understand

42:08

so many

42:08

other

42:09

US

42:10

government

42:10

institutions

42:11

and the

42:11

relationship

42:11

between

42:12

government

42:12

and private

42:13

business

42:13

Jeffrey

42:16

Jeffrey

42:16

Epstein

42:16

is

42:18

part

42:19

of a

42:20

class

42:20

of

42:21

what

42:22

are

42:22

effectively

42:22

professional

42:23

fixers

42:23

and

42:25

this

42:26

is a

42:27

kind

42:27

of

42:27

class

42:28

of

42:28

professional

42:29

who

42:29

sits

42:29

not

42:32

really

42:33

within

42:33

a

42:34

particular

42:34

government

42:35

or private

42:36

sector

42:37

institution

42:37

but in

42:38

the kind

42:38

of sticky

42:39

layer

42:39

between

42:39

them

42:40

that

42:40

connects

42:40

them

42:40

all

42:41

and

42:42

I

42:44

would

42:44

say

42:44

that

42:44

for

42:45

example

42:45

people

42:45

like

42:46

Mark

42:46

Rich

42:46

Bruce

42:47

Rappaport

42:47

and I

42:48

can go

42:48

through

42:49

all these

42:49

figures

42:49

and who

42:49

they are

42:50

Robert

42:50

Mayhew

42:50

and these

42:51

types

42:51

are

42:52

just

42:53

good

42:54

case

42:54

studies

42:54

in

42:55

how

42:56

the

42:56

intelligence

42:57

world

42:57

the business

42:57

community

42:58

you know

43:00

uses

43:01

let's

43:02

take an

43:02

example

43:02

of Bruce

43:03

Rappaport

43:03

and

43:04

this is

43:05

a

43:05

you can

43:06

pull up

43:07

on screen

43:07

if

43:09

you want

43:10

there's

43:10

a great

43:10

article

43:11

I think

43:12

it's

43:12

called

43:13

I think

43:15

it's

43:15

from

43:15

1988

43:16

or 1991

43:17

it's

43:18

called

43:18

Intrigue

43:20

in

43:20

High

43:20

Places

43:21

Oil

43:22

Pipeline

43:23

Iraq

43:23

and then

43:26

just

43:26

Bruce

43:26

Rappaport

43:27

it's

43:27

R-A-P-P

43:28

yeah here

43:29

you go

43:29

Pipeline

43:30

Deal

43:30

Intrigue

43:31

in High

43:31

Places

43:31

and I'll

43:32

describe

43:33

what happens

43:33

here

43:34

in a

43:34

second

43:34

in fact

43:35

there's

43:35

a great

43:35

YouTube

43:35

video

43:36

on this

43:36

as

43:36

well

43:36

if

43:37

you

43:38

look

43:38

up

43:38

Bruce

43:39

just

43:39

on

43:39

YouTube

43:40

Bruce

43:41

Rappaport

43:42

1988

43:43

there's

43:44

a great

43:44

kind of

43:45

couple

43:45

minute

43:46

summary

43:46

of all

43:46

this

43:47

but

43:47

effectively

43:48

what

43:48

happened

43:48

was

43:49

and let

43:51

me start

43:52

this

43:52

by

43:53

just

43:53

Jeffrey

43:54

Epstein

43:55

got to

43:56

Bear

43:56

Stearns

43:57

in

43:57

1966

43:59

I'm

44:00

sorry

44:00

1976

44:01

and then

44:02

worked there

44:03

until

44:03

1980

44:04

sorry

44:06

just

44:06

because

44:06

you

44:06

have

44:07

on

44:07

screen

44:07

maybe

44:07

maybe

44:08

I'll

44:09

go

44:09

through

44:09

this

44:09

first

44:09

and

44:09

then

44:10

I'll

44:10

do

44:10

the

44:10

Jeffrey

44:11

Epstein

44:11

connections

44:11

so what

44:12

happened

44:12

here

44:13

was

44:13

you had

44:14

the

44:14

Iran-Iraq

44:15

war

44:15

from

44:15

1980

44:16

to

44:16

1988

44:17

and

44:18

Henry

44:19

Kissinger

44:20

had a

44:20

really great

44:20

quote

44:21

about this

44:21

because

44:22

he

44:22

asked

44:22

what

44:22

is

44:22

the

44:22

US

44:22

government

44:23

strategy

44:23

on

44:23

this

44:23

because

44:24

it's

44:24

very

44:24

convoluted

44:25

and

44:26

why

44:27

are

44:27

we

44:27

giving

44:28

weapons

44:30

to

44:30

Iran

44:31

when

44:32

the

44:33

Iranian

44:33

revolution

44:34

just

44:34

happened

44:34

in

44:34

1979

44:35

that

44:36

you know

44:38

overthrew

44:39

what was

44:40

a US

44:41

government

44:41

friendly

44:41

government

44:42

that was

44:43

partially

44:44

installed

44:44

by the

44:44

CIA

44:45

in

44:45

1953

44:46

we've

44:48

now

44:48

declared

44:49

an

44:49

international

44:49

arms

44:49

embargo

44:50

on them

44:50

you know

44:51

we're

44:52

basically

44:52

at war

44:52

with the

44:53

Ayatollahs

44:53

why

44:53

are we

44:54

giving

44:54

them

44:55

weapons

44:55

and

44:56

helping

44:56

them

44:57

you know

44:58

defeat

44:58

Iraq

44:59

and

44:59

you know

44:59

the issue

45:00

was

45:00

we were

45:01

also

45:02

in a

45:03

kind

45:03

of

45:03

war

45:06

over

45:07

regional

45:08

hegemony

45:08

and oil

45:09

with

45:10

Iraq

45:10

and so

45:12

Henry Kissinger's

45:13

quote was

45:13

my only wish

45:14

is that

45:14

both sides

45:15

could lose

45:16

and so

45:17

what happened

45:19

was

45:19

because we

45:20

didn't want

45:20

Iraq

45:20

to take

45:21

over

45:21

Iran

45:22

and become

45:22

effectively

45:23

bigger than

45:24

Saudi Arabia

45:25

in the

45:25

region

45:26

we were

45:28

funding

45:29

and giving

45:31

weapons

45:31

to

45:32

Iran

45:32

to

45:33

try

45:33

to

45:33

fend

45:33

off

45:34

the

45:34

much

45:34

bigger

45:34

Iraqi

45:35

army

45:35

and

45:36

then

45:37

at a

45:38

certain

45:38

point

45:39

in this

45:39

we

45:41

began

45:41

to back

45:42

Iraq

45:42

we went

45:43

back and

45:43

forth

45:43

supporting

45:44

Iran

45:44

Iraq

45:45

and so

45:46

Iraq

45:48

because

45:48

of the

45:49

embargoes

45:50

on it

45:51

wanted to

45:51

build a

45:52

pipeline

45:53

to get

45:53

its

45:54

oil

45:55

out

45:55

and it

45:55

was going

45:56

to pass

45:56

through

45:56

Jordan

45:57

and it

45:57

was going

45:57

to abut

45:58

against

45:58

the border

45:59

of Israel

45:59

and a

46:02

major

46:02

CIA

46:05

contractor

46:06

and CIA

46:06

connected

46:07

private

46:08

business

46:08

called

46:09

Bechtel

46:09

highly

46:10

highly

46:10

influential

46:11

company

46:12

there's been

46:14

many many

46:14

many books

46:15

written on

46:15

Bechtel

46:16

some

46:17

and

46:18

Bechtel

46:19

is alive

46:19

and well

46:19

today

46:20

if there

46:20

was a

46:21

saga

46:21

for example

46:21

around the

46:22

Stanford

46:22

internet

46:23

observatory

46:23

around the

46:25

censorship

46:25

industrial

46:26

complex

46:26

when I

46:27

when I

46:27

visited

46:27

the

46:28

Stanford

46:28

internet

46:28

observatory

46:29

and I

46:29

went to

46:29

the

46:30

courtyard

46:30

courtyard

46:31

is sponsored

46:31

by

46:32

Bechtel

46:32

it's

46:33

I think

46:33

it's

46:33

called

46:33

the

46:33

Bechtel

46:34

courtyard

46:34

and

46:35

but

46:36

but what

46:36

happened

46:37

was

46:37

is

46:37

the

46:39

Bechtel

46:41

was

46:41

promised

46:43

by Iraq

46:43

a billion

46:44

dollar

46:45

contract

46:45

in

46:46

1980

46:47

you know

46:48

80s

46:48

money

46:48

for

46:49

constructing

46:49

this

46:50

pipeline

46:50

and

46:52

the

46:52

Central

46:52

Intelligence

46:53

Agency

46:53

and the

46:54

White House

46:54

National

46:55

Security

46:55

Council

46:55

both

46:56

for

46:56

geostrategic

46:57

reasons

46:58

wanted

46:58

this

46:58

pipeline

46:59

built

46:59

the

47:00

problem

47:00

was

47:01

is

47:01

they

47:01

were

47:01

afraid

47:02

the

47:02

Israeli

47:02

government

47:03

was

47:03

going

47:03

to

47:03

sabotage

47:04

the

47:04

pipeline

47:04

because

47:05

Iraq

47:06

was

47:07

very

47:09

hostile

47:09

to

47:09

Israel

47:10

and

47:11

there

47:11

was

47:12

a lot

47:12

of

47:12

tension

47:12

between

47:13

the

47:14

Iraqi

47:14

government

47:14

and

47:14

the

47:14

Israeli

47:15

government

47:15

and

47:16

they

47:16

were

47:16

afraid

47:16

that

47:17

if

47:17

Bechtel

47:17

got

47:18

this

47:18

contract

47:19

and

47:19

built

47:20

this

47:20

pipeline

47:20

that

47:21

Israel

47:22

these

47:23

pipelines

47:23

are

47:24

very

47:24

fragile

47:24

and

47:25

because

47:26

it

47:26

passes

47:26

close

47:27

to

47:27

it

47:27

it's

47:28

very

47:28

possible

47:29

that

47:29

would

47:30

happen

47:30

and

47:30

destroy

47:31

both

47:31

the

47:31

CIA's

47:32

goal

47:32

and

47:33

the

47:33

private

47:33

profiteer

47:34

Bechtel's

47:34

goal

47:35

so

47:36

so

47:36

how

47:37

do

47:37

solve

47:37

that

47:38

problem

47:38

well

47:39

what

47:39

what

47:40

the

47:41

CIA

47:41

did

47:41

is

47:42

what

47:43

the

47:44

National

47:44

Security

47:45

Council

47:45

which

47:45

is

47:45

the

47:46

interagency

47:46

that

47:46

the

47:46

CIA

47:47

reports

47:47

do

47:48

did

47:48

is

47:49

they

47:49

engaged

47:50

a

47:50

private

47:50

fixer

47:51

named

47:51

Bruce

47:51

Rappaport

47:52

who

47:53

was

47:53

a

47:53

Swiss

47:54

billionaire

47:55

with

47:56

close

47:56

ties

47:56

to

47:56

the

47:56

Israeli

47:57

government

47:57

to

47:58

back

47:59

channel

47:59

with

48:00

the

48:00

Israeli

48:00

government

48:01

some

48:02

sort

48:02

of

48:02

secret

48:03

agreement

48:03

that

48:04

would

48:05

guarantee

48:06

that

48:07

they

48:07

would

48:07

not

48:08

sabotage

48:08

the

48:09

pipeline

48:09

and

48:10

because

48:11

the

48:12

Attorney

48:12

General

48:12

of the

48:12

United

48:13

States

48:13

again

48:14

think

48:15

about

48:15

this

48:15

as well

48:15

as

48:17

I'm

48:17

saying

48:17

this

48:17

think

48:18

about

48:18

Jeffrey

48:18

Epstein

48:19

and

48:19

think

48:19

about

48:19

the

48:19

character

48:19

of

48:20

Bill

48:20

Barr

48:20

for

48:20

example

48:21

who

48:21

started

48:22

his

48:22

career

48:22

for

48:23

seven

48:23

years

48:23

at

48:23

the

48:23

CIA

48:24

was

48:25

highly

48:25

involved

48:25

in

48:25

the

48:25

CIA

48:26

Iran

48:26

Contra

48:27

and

48:27

then

48:27

was

48:27

Attorney

48:27

General

48:28

both

48:29

in

48:30

the

48:30

1990s

48:31

during

48:31

the

48:32

Epstein

48:33

connected

48:33

BCCI

48:34

scandal

48:34

and

48:34

the

48:34

you know

48:36

when

48:36

Jeffrey

48:36

Epstein

48:36

killed

48:37

himself

48:37

or

48:38

whatever

48:38

happened

48:39

to

48:39

him

48:39

so

48:41

what

48:41

what

48:42

happens

48:43

is

48:43

Bruce

48:45

Rappaport

48:46

does

48:46

indeed

48:47

use his

48:48

contacts

48:48

with the

48:48

Israeli

48:48

government

48:49

to

48:49

strike

48:50

an

48:51

agreement

48:51

that

48:52

then

48:52

allows

48:53

the

48:54

would

48:55

allow

48:55

the

48:55

project

48:56

to be

48:56

green

48:56

lit

48:56

but

48:57

it

48:58

triggers

48:58

a

48:58

special

48:58

prosecutor's

48:59

investigation

48:59

of the

49:00

attorney

49:00

general

49:01

himself

49:01

Ed

49:02

Meese

49:02

because

49:03

he

49:04

one of

49:05

his

49:05

friends

49:05

was

49:07

alleged

49:07

to be

49:08

in

49:08

on

49:08

the

49:08

deal

49:08

so

49:09

they

49:10

they

49:11

argued

49:11

that

49:11

effectively

49:12

there

49:13

were

49:13

that

49:13

they

49:14

that

49:14

through

49:15

Bruce

49:15

Rappaport

49:16

the

49:16

attorney

49:16

general

49:17

was

49:18

striking

49:18

a

49:18

secret

49:18

agreement

49:19

with

49:19

Israel

49:19

to

49:20

profit

49:20

himself

49:21

a

49:23

massive

49:23

conflict

49:23

of

49:24

interest

49:24

and

49:26

what

49:27

ended

49:27

up

49:28

happening

49:28

is

49:28

Bruce

49:28

Rappaport

49:29

stepped

49:30

forward

49:30

and said

49:30

no

49:31

no

49:31

no

49:31

it

49:31

wasn't

49:32

to

49:32

profit

49:32

the

49:33

terms

49:34

weren't

49:34

to

49:34

profit

49:35

the

49:35

friend

49:35

it

49:36

was

49:36

the

49:37

terms

49:37

we

49:38

secretly

49:38

reached

49:38

with

49:38

Israel

49:39

that

49:39

they

49:39

were

49:39

going

49:39

to

49:39

get

49:39

like

49:39

a

49:40

30%

49:40

cut

49:40

on

49:41

the

49:41

revenue

49:41

of

49:42

the

49:42

pipeline

49:42

and

49:42

that's

49:43

what

49:43

secured

49:43

the

49:44

buy-in

49:44

but

49:45

the

49:45

fact

49:45

is

49:45

Bruce

49:47

Rappaport

49:47

was

49:48

not

49:48

now

49:52

the

49:52

other

49:52

part

49:53

of

49:53

this

49:56

hold

49:56

basically

49:57

the

49:58

overseas

49:58

development

49:58

arm

49:59

of

49:59

the

50:00

U.S.

50:00

government

50:00

agency

50:02

to

50:04

put

50:06

American

50:06

taxpayer

50:07

funds

50:07

to help

50:08

subsidize

50:08

the

50:09

pipeline

50:10

that

50:11

the

50:11

Bechtel

50:12

pipeline

50:12

and

50:14

that

50:15

government

50:15

agency

50:15

did not

50:16

want

50:16

to

50:17

put up

50:18

something

50:18

like

50:18

$400

50:19

million

50:19

of

50:20

taxpayer

50:21

funds

50:21

on

50:21

it

50:21

because

50:21

they

50:22

thought

50:22

Bruce

50:23

Rappaport

50:23

was a

50:24

very

50:24

shady

50:24

Epstein

50:25

like

50:25

figure

50:26

who

50:26

had

50:26

all

50:26

sorts

50:27

of

50:27

sordid

50:28

you know

50:29

details

50:29

about

50:29

his

50:30

own

50:30

past

50:30

so

50:32

that

50:32

government

50:32

agency

50:33

queried

50:33

the

50:33

CIA

50:34

for

50:34

all

50:34

records

50:35

about

50:35

Bruce

50:35

Rappaport

50:35

and

50:36

the

50:37

CIA

50:37

gave

50:38

them

50:38

a

50:39

limited

50:39

hangout

50:39

they

50:40

said

50:40

oh

50:40

you

50:40

know

50:40

we

50:40

only

50:40

have

50:41

a

50:41

few

50:41

documents

50:41

that

50:42

are

50:42

responsive

50:42

to

50:42

it

50:42

and

50:43

no

50:43

red

50:44

flags

50:44

as

50:45

it

50:45

turned

50:51

CIA

50:51

on

50:52

Bruce

50:52

Rappaport

50:53

and

50:54

if

50:55

they

50:55

had

50:55

given

50:55

that

50:55

to

50:56

the

50:56

US

50:56

government

50:57

agency

50:57

there

50:58

couldn't

50:58

have

50:58

been

50:59

support

50:59

for

51:00

the

51:00

pipeline

51:00

now

51:01

after

51:01

all

51:01

the

51:01

scandal

51:02

the

51:02

pipeline

51:02

ended up

51:02

not

51:02

being

51:03

built

51:03

but

51:03

the

51:03

point

51:03

is

51:04

here

51:05

you

51:05

have

51:05

the

51:06

same

51:07

type

51:08

of

51:08

person

51:08

as

51:09

Jeffrey

51:09

Epstein

51:09

the

51:11

same

51:11

regions

51:13

and

51:13

countries

51:14

that

51:14

are

51:15

you

51:15

know

51:15

involved

51:16

in

51:16

a

51:16

significant

51:16

part

51:17

of

51:17

the

51:17

Epstein

51:17

saga

51:18

you

51:18

have

51:19

the

51:19

same

51:21

community

51:21

private

51:22

businesses

51:22

and

51:23

you

51:24

know

51:24

back

51:25

channel

51:25

deals

51:25

with

51:26

government

51:26

officials

51:26

but

51:27

because

51:27

there

51:30

was

51:30

no

51:30

201

51:31

file

51:31

on

51:32

Bruce

51:32

Rappaport

51:33

he

51:33

was

51:33

not

51:34

formerly

51:34

a

51:34

CIA

51:35

asset

51:35

he

51:35

was

51:36

he

51:37

was

51:37

what

51:37

you

51:37

know

51:37

what's

51:38

called

51:38

a

51:38

liaison

51:39

a

51:40

contact

51:41

a

51:41

facilitator

51:42

a

51:42

friend

51:43

of

51:43

the

51:43

station

51:43

doesn't

51:44

work

51:45

for

51:45

the

51:45

CIA

51:45

he's

51:46

got

51:46

his

51:46

own

51:46

hedge

51:47

fund

51:47

he's

51:47

got

51:47

his

51:47

own

51:48

you

51:48

know

51:48

basically

51:49

finance

51:50

you

51:50

know

51:50

he'll

51:52

invest

51:52

in

51:52

commodities

51:53

or

51:53

foreign

51:54

exchange

51:54

or

51:54

private

51:55

portfolio

51:55

companies

51:56

but

51:57

sometimes

51:58

he'll

51:58

work

51:59

with

51:59

the

51:59

CIA

51:59

sometimes

52:00

he won't

52:01

depends

52:01

on whether

52:01

it's

52:02

good

52:02

for

52:02

him

52:02

and

52:04

in

52:04

this

52:04

case

52:05

he

52:06

thought

52:06

it

52:06

was

52:06

good

52:06

for

52:06

him

52:06

to

52:07

take

52:07

this

52:07

who

52:08

knows

52:08

what

52:09

cut

52:09

he

52:09

himself

52:10

got

52:10

it

52:10

on

52:10

it

52:10

but

52:11

the

52:12

fact

52:12

is

52:12

here

52:14

you

52:15

have

52:15

the

52:16

same

52:16

type

52:16

of

52:17

you

52:18

have

52:18

every

52:18

layer

52:18

of

52:18

this

52:18

from

52:19

the

52:19

justice

52:19

department

52:20

to

52:20

the

52:20

CIA

52:20

to

52:21

the

52:21

private

52:22

financiers

52:23

to

52:23

the

52:23

to

52:23

the

52:23

private

52:24

companies

52:24

to

52:25

real

52:25

world

52:25

geopolitical

52:26

action

52:26

and

52:27

this

52:28

appears

52:29

in

52:30

my view

52:30

of it

52:31

to be

52:31

exactly

52:32

the

52:32

model

52:33

that

52:33

Jeffrey

52:34

Epstein

52:35

himself

52:36

replicated

52:38

and was on

52:39

parallel track

52:39

with

52:40

for his

52:40

whole

52:41

career

52:41

you know

52:42

he's

52:42

and I

52:43

can

52:43

get into

52:44

that

52:44

but

52:44

does

52:44

that

52:45

make

52:45

sense

52:45

in

52:46

terms

52:46

of

52:46

like

52:46

this

52:47

type

52:48

of

52:48

figure

52:48

exists

52:49

in

52:49

basically

52:50

in

52:50

every

52:51

country

52:51

in

52:51

every

52:52

industry

52:52

and

52:54

you know

52:55

they're

52:55

not all

52:56

as

52:56

prominent

52:57

as

52:58

Epstein

52:58

but I

52:58

would argue

52:59

people like

52:59

Mark Rich

53:00

and at

53:00

the time

53:00

Bruce

53:01

Rappaport

53:01

kind of

53:02

were

53:02

they don't

53:04

all have

53:04

you know

53:05

these

53:05

child

53:06

sex

53:06

trafficking

53:07

type

53:08

things

53:08

this

53:09

the thing

53:09

is

53:09

like

53:09

what

53:10

he

53:10

was

53:10

connected

53:11

with

53:11

it

53:12

makes

53:12

me

53:13

wonder

53:13

like

53:13

if

53:13

he

53:14

didn't

53:14

have

53:14

that

53:15

sick

53:16

thing

53:17

where

53:17

he

53:17

liked

53:18

underage

53:18

girls

53:19

like

53:19

if

53:20

he'd

53:20

never

53:20

gotten

53:20

arrested

53:21

which

53:21

was

53:21

what

53:22

2008

53:22

or

53:23

something

53:24

when

53:24

did

53:24

he

53:25

initially

53:25

get

53:25

arrested

53:25

2006

53:27

but

53:27

he

53:28

was

53:29

the

53:30

plea

53:30

deal

53:30

was

53:30

2008

53:31

so

53:31

if

53:32

that

53:32

hadn't

53:32

happened

53:33

like

53:33

if

53:33

you

53:33

just

53:34

got

53:34

a

53:34

guy

53:34

who's

53:35

getting

53:35

of

53:36

age

53:36

prostitutes

53:37

we

53:39

never

53:39

hear

53:39

about

53:40

this

53:40

yeah

53:41

and

53:43

can

imagine

54:22

very

54:23

easily

54:23

why

54:25

because

54:26

Epstein

54:27

was

involved

in

54:28

fraudulent

54:28

he

was

54:40

in a

54:41

it was

St.

Joe's

54:41

Mineral

54:42

Company

54:42

which

54:42

is

54:43

owned

54:44

by

54:44

Seagram's

54:45

which

54:45

is

54:46

owned

54:47

by

54:47

the

54:47

Bronfman

54:47

family

54:48

he

54:51

got in

54:52

trouble

54:52

with

54:52

the

54:52

SEC

54:52

at

54:53

that

54:53

time

54:53

he

54:53

then

54:53

as soon

54:54

as he

54:54

got

54:54

in

54:54

trouble

54:54

he

54:55

left

54:55

Bear

54:55

Stearns

54:56

and went

54:56

out

54:56

on his

54:56

own

54:56

but

54:57

then

54:57

worked

54:58

effectively

54:59

at

54:59

Bear

54:59

Stearns

55:00

off

55:00

the

55:00

book

55:00

for the

55:01

next

55:02

decade

55:02

according

55:03

to

55:03

his

55:03

own

55:04

testimony

55:05

he

55:05

had

55:05

a

55:05

continuous

55:06

relationship

55:06

with Bear

55:07

Stearns

55:07

for

55:07

you

55:08

know

55:08

I

55:09

think

55:09

he

55:09

said

55:09

31

55:09

years

55:10

it

55:10

was

55:10

basically

55:10

from

55:10

the

55:11

moment

55:11

you

55:11

know

55:11

from

55:12

the

55:12

1970s

55:13

1976

55:15

until

55:15

2007

55:16

2008

55:17

when Bear

55:17

Stearns

55:18

collapsed

55:18

while

55:19

Jeffrey

55:19

Epstein

55:20

was in

55:20

jail

55:20

but

55:22

then

55:24

Jeffrey

55:25

Epstein

55:25

in

55:26

it

55:27

appears

55:28

to me

55:28

almost

55:29

impossible

55:30

that Jeffrey

55:30

Epstein

55:30

was not

55:31

working on

55:31

BCCI

55:32

pipeline

55:33

deals

55:33

while he

55:34

was at

55:34

Bear

55:34

Stearns

55:35

Bear

55:36

Stearns

55:36

was one

55:36

of the

55:37

three

55:39

biggest

55:40

clearing

55:42

houses

55:42

for

55:43

BCCI

55:44

transactions

55:45

BCCI

55:46

is the

55:46

Bank of

55:46

Credit

55:46

Commerce

55:47

International

55:47

sometimes

55:48

people call

55:49

it the

55:49

Bank of

55:49

Crooks

55:50

and Criminals

55:50

International

55:51

it's

55:52

an

55:53

incredible

55:54

saga

55:55

of

55:55

CIA

55:56

banking

55:56

gone

55:57

wrong

55:57

it's

55:58

a bank

55:59

that was

55:59

started

56:00

in

56:00

Pakistan

56:00

in

56:01

1972

56:02

and

56:03

then

56:03

grew

56:04

to be

56:04

the

56:05

CIA's

56:05

main

56:06

way

56:06

to

56:07

covertly

56:08

back

56:09

the

56:09

Mujahideen

56:10

against

56:11

the

56:13

Russians

56:13

during

56:14

the

56:15

Cold

56:15

War

56:15

so

56:15

we

56:16

backed

56:16

Osama

56:16

Bin

56:17

Laden

56:17

the

56:17

CIA

56:18

we

56:18

backed

56:18

the

56:19

Islamic

56:20

Mujahideen

56:22

the

56:22

radicals

56:23

who became

56:24

Al Qaeda

56:24

and ISIS

56:25

with

56:27

billions

56:28

of dollars

56:28

of

56:29

CIA

56:30

and

56:31

MI6

56:31

and

56:32

Israeli

56:33

and Saudi

56:34

facilitated

56:35

co-support

56:38

and financial

56:39

funds

56:40

in order

56:41

to

56:42

do a

56:43

Cold War

56:43

operation

56:44

just like

56:44

we talked

56:45

about

56:45

with

56:46

strange

56:47

bedfellows

56:48

backing

56:49

right-wing

56:51

organized

56:52

crime

56:52

to stop

56:54

left-wing

56:54

communism

56:55

we did

56:56

the same

56:56

thing

56:56

in

56:57

Afghanistan

56:57

through

56:59

you know

57:00

these

57:00

the

57:00

Pakistan

57:01

Afghanistan

57:02

border

57:02

to

57:03

run

57:04

covertly

57:05

run

57:05

guns

57:06

to the

57:06

Mujahideen

57:07

in fact

57:07

you can

57:07

there's a

57:08

great

57:08

YouTube

57:09

video

57:09

that

57:09

I always

57:10

like to

57:11

play

57:11

so that

57:11

you can

57:12

see it

57:12

for yourself

57:12

it's

57:14

it's

57:14

really

57:14

short

57:14

you can

57:15

look up

57:15

1979

57:16

a big

57:16

new

57:16

Brzezinski

57:17

dropping

57:18

out of

57:18

a

57:18

helicopter

57:19

to

57:20

tell

57:21

the

57:22

Mujahideen

57:23

that

57:23

both

57:24

God

57:25

and the

57:25

United

57:25

States

57:26

government

57:26

is on

57:26

their

57:27

side

57:27

and

57:28

the

57:28

reason

57:28

this

57:29

clip

57:29

I

57:29

always

57:30

think

57:30

is so

57:31

fun

57:31

to play

57:32

is

57:32

because

57:32

this

57:32

was

57:32

the

57:33

very

57:33

moment

57:33

in

57:33

1979

57:34

that

57:35

Jeffrey

57:35

Epstein

57:36

appears

57:37

to have

57:37

been

57:37

involved

57:39

in the

57:39

BCCI

57:39

financing

57:40

of this

57:40

very

57:40

operation

57:41

so

57:41

if

57:41

you

57:41

turn

57:41

the

57:41

volume

57:42

up

57:42

and

57:42

you

57:42

start

57:42

at

57:42

the

57:43

beginning

57:43

U.S.

57:47

National

57:47

Security

57:48

Advisor

57:48

Brzezinski

57:49

flew to

57:50

Pakistan

57:50

to set

57:51

about

57:52

rallying

57:52

resistance

57:52

he wanted

57:54

to arm

57:54

the

57:55

Mujahideen

57:55

without

57:56

revealing

57:56

America's

57:57

role

57:57

on the

57:59

Afghan

57:59

border

58:00

near

58:00

the

58:00

Khyber

58:00

Pass

58:01

he urged

58:02

the

58:02

soldiers

58:02

of God

58:03

to

58:03

redouble

58:04

their

58:04

efforts

58:04

we

58:06

know

58:06

of

58:07

their

58:07

deep

58:08

belief

58:08

in

58:08

God

58:09

and

58:10

we

58:10

are

58:10

confident

58:10

that

58:11

their

58:11

struggle

58:12

will

58:12

succeed

58:13

that

58:18

land

58:18

over

58:18

there

58:19

is

58:19

yours

58:20

you'll

58:21

go

58:21

back

58:21

to

58:22

it

58:22

one

58:22

day

58:22

because

58:23

your

58:23

fight

58:24

will

58:24

prevail

58:25

and

58:25

you'll

58:26

have

58:26

your

58:26

homes

58:26

and

58:27

your

58:27

mosques

58:27

back

58:28

again

58:28

because

58:29

your

58:29

cause

58:29

is

58:30

right

58:30

and

58:31

God

58:31

is

58:31

on

58:31

your

58:31

side

58:32

now

58:34

that

58:34

is

58:35

that

58:36

is

58:37

the

58:37

national

58:37

security

58:38

advisor

58:38

of the

58:39

United

58:39

States

58:39

of

58:39

America

58:40

the

58:40

national

58:40

security

58:40

advisor

58:41

is

58:41

the

58:42

highest

58:42

post

58:43

in

58:43

the

58:43

cabinet

58:43

it

58:44

is

58:44

the

58:44

person

58:44

the

58:44

president

58:45

talks

58:45

to

58:45

every

58:45

day

58:45

all

58:47

intelligence

58:48

military

58:50

and

58:51

state

58:51

craft

58:51

goes

58:52

through

58:52

the

58:52

national

58:52

security

58:53

advisor

58:53

that

58:53

is

58:53

the

58:54

numero

58:54

uno

58:54

and

58:56

he

58:56

personally

58:57

in

58:57

1979

58:58

you know

58:59

this

58:59

didn't

59:00

come out

59:00

until

59:00

years

59:00

later

59:01

but

59:01

we

59:01

were

59:02

covertly

59:02

doing

59:03

this

59:03

so

59:04

to

59:04

do

59:04

a

59:04

covert

59:04

operation

59:05

and

59:06

this

59:06

is

59:06

why

59:06

I

59:06

focus

59:07

on

59:07

the

59:07

money

59:07

side

59:08

of

59:08

Epstein

59:08

from

59:08

the

59:09

1970s

59:09

to

59:10

present

59:10

because

59:11

the

59:12

money

59:13

in

59:13

any

59:13

covert

59:14

operation

59:14

is

59:15

the

59:15

most

59:15

essential

59:16

part

59:16

it's

59:17

the

59:17

only

59:17

thing

59:18

that

59:18

is

59:18

irreplaceable

59:19

and that

59:20

if you

59:20

don't

59:20

have it

59:21

everything

59:21

goes

59:21

away

59:21

you

59:22

lose

59:22

one

59:23

person

59:23

find

59:24

another

59:24

one

59:25

you

59:26

you

59:27

know

59:27

you

59:27

lose

59:27

one

59:28

you

59:29

know

59:30

logistics

59:30

hub

59:30

can

59:31

create

59:31

another

59:31

one

59:31

with

59:32

money

59:32

you

59:32

lose

59:33

money

59:33

you

59:33

lose

59:34

everything

59:34

you

59:34

lose

59:35

your

59:35

ability

59:35

to

59:35

pay

59:35

your

59:36

informants

59:36

you

59:36

lose

59:37

your

59:37

ability

59:37

to

59:37

bribe

59:38

government

59:38

officials

59:39

you

59:39

lose

59:40

your

59:40

ability

59:40

to

59:41

you

59:42

know

59:42

win

59:42

the

59:42

support

59:43

of

59:43

local

59:43

institutions

59:44

you

59:45

we

59:45

lost

59:46

Vietnam

59:46

not

59:48

really

59:49

so

59:49

much

59:49

because

59:49

we

59:49

lost

59:50

you

59:50

know

59:51

at

59:52

the

59:53

kinetic

59:53

war

59:53

level

59:54

but

59:54

because

59:54

we

59:54

lost

59:54

the

59:55

ability

59:55

to

59:55

fund

59:55

it

59:55

because

59:56

it

59:56

got

59:56

defunded

59:57

so

59:58

we

59:58

literally

59:58

couldn't

59:59

do it

59:59

anymore

59:59

and

1:00:01

the

1:00:01

there's

1:00:02

another

1:00:02

great

1:00:02

clip

1:00:02

just to

1:00:03

show

1:00:03

how

1:00:03

sophisticated

1:00:04

CI

1:00:04

money

1:00:04

laundering

1:00:05

was

1:00:05

even

1:00:05

by

1:00:05

the

1:00:06

1960s

1:00:07

sorry

1:00:08

I'll

1:00:08

stop

1:00:08

doing

1:00:09

this

1:00:09

after

1:00:09

you

1:00:10

know

1:00:10

running

1:00:10

around

1:00:10

clip

1:00:11

to

1:00:11

clip

1:00:11

after

1:00:11

this

1:00:12

or

1:00:12

I'll

1:00:12

chill

1:00:12

on

1:00:13

it

1:00:13

but

1:00:13

if

1:00:13

you

1:00:14

go

1:00:14

to

1:00:14

my

1:00:14

ex

1:00:15

you

1:00:21

in

1:00:21

the

1:00:22

1960s

1:00:22

it's

1:00:23

called

1:00:23

in

1:00:23

the

1:00:23

pay

1:00:23

I

1:00:25

think

1:00:25

it's

1:00:25

called

1:00:25

in

1:00:25

the

1:00:25

pay

1:00:26

of

1:00:26

the

1:00:26

CIA

1:00:26

or

1:00:26

in

1:00:26

the

1:00:27

it's

1:00:27

but

1:00:27

if

1:00:27

you

1:00:27

type

1:00:28

in

1:00:28

CIA

1:00:28

money

1:00:28

laundering

1:00:29

you'll

1:00:29

see

1:00:30

this

1:00:30

great

1:00:30

clip

1:00:31

about

1:00:31

how

1:00:31

sophisticated

1:00:32

CIA

1:00:32

money

1:00:33

laundering

1:00:33

was

1:00:33

already

1:00:34

by

1:00:34

the

1:00:34

1950s

1:00:35

and

1:00:35

60s

1:00:36

and

1:00:37

the

1:00:38

that

1:00:40

because

1:00:41

everything

1:00:42

the CIA

1:00:42

does

1:00:42

has to

1:00:43

be

1:00:43

laundered

1:00:44

it's

1:00:45

a spy

1:00:45

agency

1:00:46

if

1:00:46

it

1:00:47

writes

1:00:47

a

1:00:47

check

1:00:48

if

1:00:49

it

1:00:49

doesn't

1:00:50

conceal

1:00:50

the

1:00:51

origins

1:00:52

of the

1:00:52

money

1:00:53

gigs

1:00:54

up

1:00:54

so

1:00:55

everything

1:00:56

that is

1:00:58

CIA

1:00:58

has to

1:00:59

move

1:00:59

through

1:00:59

some

1:01:00

sort

1:01:01

of

1:01:01

money

1:01:02

laundering

1:01:02

mechanism

1:01:03

well

1:01:04

you know

1:01:06

to

1:01:06

kind of

1:01:08

I guess

1:01:08

borrow a phrase

1:01:11

from

1:01:11

the president

1:01:13

somebody's

1:01:13

doing the

1:01:14

money laundering

1:01:14

you need

1:01:16

outside

1:01:18

contacts

1:01:19

who do

1:01:19

not work

1:01:20

at the

1:01:20

agency

1:01:21

or necessarily

1:01:22

for the

1:01:22

agency

1:01:23

to facilitate

1:01:24

that money

1:01:24

laundering

1:01:25

and that

1:01:26

was done

1:01:26

through

1:01:27

for example

1:01:28

the Pakistanis

1:01:28

with

1:01:29

BCCI

1:01:30

as well

1:01:30

as contacts

1:01:31

in London

1:01:32

that

1:01:33

is

1:01:33

what

1:01:33

I

1:01:33

believe

1:01:34

Jeffrey

1:01:34

Epstein

1:01:35

was

1:01:35

doing

1:01:35

his

1:01:35

entire

1:01:36

career

1:01:36

after

1:01:37

that

1:01:37

from

1:01:37

Towers

1:01:37

Financial

1:01:38

to

1:01:38

his

1:01:39

tenure

1:01:39

with

1:01:40

Leslie

1:01:40

Wexner

1:01:40

to

1:01:42

kind of

1:01:43

the way

1:01:43

I think

1:01:43

that he

1:01:43

helped

1:01:44

model

1:01:44

the

1:01:44

Clinton

1:01:44

foundation

1:01:45

itself

1:01:45

with the

1:01:46

Clintons

1:01:46

in the

1:01:46

early

1:01:46

2000s

1:01:47

and

1:01:49

and

1:01:49

his

1:01:50

expertise

1:01:50

in

1:01:51

that

1:01:51

I

1:01:52

think

1:01:52

is

1:01:52

is

1:01:53

what

1:01:54

made

1:01:54

him

1:01:54

useful

1:01:55

really

1:01:56

not

1:01:56

well

1:01:57

it's

1:01:57

more

1:01:57

the

1:01:57

connections

1:01:59

of

1:01:59

I guess

1:02:00

donors

1:02:01

and

1:02:01

billionaires

1:02:02

around

1:02:02

him

1:02:02

that

1:02:02

made

1:02:02

him

1:02:02

the

1:02:03

most

1:02:03

useful

1:02:03

but

1:02:03

the

1:02:03

fact

1:02:03

is

1:02:04

he

1:02:05

specialized

1:02:06

when he

1:02:06

went out

1:02:06

on his

1:02:07

own

1:02:07

formerly

1:02:08

he

1:02:08

leaves

1:02:08

Bear

1:02:08

Stearns

1:02:09

in 1981

1:02:09

and starts

1:02:10

a one

1:02:10

man

1:02:10

group

1:02:12

called

1:02:12

Intercontinental

1:02:13

Assets

1:02:13

Group

1:02:13

out of

1:02:14

his

1:02:15

New York

1:02:15

City

1:02:15

apartment

1:02:16

he's

1:02:16

not

1:02:16

even

1:02:16

30

1:02:17

years

1:02:17

old

1:02:17

right

1:02:18

away

1:02:19

he

1:02:19

gets

1:02:19

big

1:02:19

level

1:02:20

clients

1:02:20

like

1:02:20

Adnan

1:02:21

Khashoggi

1:02:21

who

1:02:22

is

1:02:22

the

1:02:23

at

1:02:23

the

1:02:23

time

1:02:24

was

1:02:24

alleged

1:02:24

to be

1:02:24

the

1:02:25

world's

1:02:25

richest

1:02:25

man

1:02:25

he

1:02:26

was

1:02:27

the

1:02:27

Saudi

1:02:28

arms

1:02:28

dealer

1:02:29

and

1:02:29

to

1:02:29

give

1:02:29

an

1:02:30

impression

1:02:30

of how

1:02:31

significant

1:02:31

this

1:02:32

figure

1:02:32

was

1:02:32

in

1:02:33

the

1:02:34

weapons

1:02:35

trade

1:02:36

he

1:02:37

was

1:02:37

he

1:02:38

he

1:02:39

earned

1:02:40

more

1:02:40

in

1:02:40

commissions

1:02:41

from

1:02:42

Lockheed

1:02:43

Martin

1:02:44

Boeing

1:02:45

and

1:02:47

I

1:02:47

think

1:02:47

one

1:02:47

of

1:02:47

the

1:02:47

other

1:02:48

big

1:02:48

military

1:02:48

contractors

1:02:49

than

1:02:49

every

1:02:49

other

1:02:50

commissions

1:02:50

agent

1:02:51

in the

1:02:52

entire

1:02:52

world

1:02:52

combined

1:02:53

that's

1:02:54

why

1:02:54

you know

1:02:55

there were

1:02:55

rumors that

1:02:56

he was

1:02:56

the world's

1:02:57

richest man

1:02:57

he

1:02:57

in fact

1:02:58

we

1:02:58

actually

1:02:58

had

1:02:59

legislation

1:02:59

passed

1:02:59

because of

1:03:00

how

1:03:00

influential

1:03:00

he

1:03:01

was

1:03:01

he

1:03:01

was

1:03:02

the

1:03:02

one

1:03:02

who

1:03:02

in

1:03:03

1983

1:03:04

flew

1:03:05

to the

1:03:06

National Security

1:03:07

Council

1:03:07

to the

1:03:08

White

1:03:08

House

1:03:08

to

1:03:10

orchestrate

1:03:12

the

1:03:12

Iran

1:03:12

Contra

1:03:13

affair

1:03:13

he

1:03:13

was

1:03:13

the

1:03:13

Saudi

1:03:14

middleman

1:03:14

that

1:03:16

was

1:03:18

part of

1:03:18

this

1:03:18

operation

1:03:19

where

1:03:19

the

1:03:19

United

1:03:19

States

1:03:20

used

1:03:22

the

1:03:23

Saudi

1:03:23

middleman

1:03:23

Anand

1:03:24

Khashoggi

1:03:24

to

1:03:25

run

1:03:27

guns

1:03:27

to

1:03:28

Israeli

1:03:29

contacts

1:03:29

to

1:03:30

smuggle

1:03:31

into

1:03:32

Iran

1:03:32

to fight

1:03:33

off the

1:03:34

Iraqis

1:03:34

now

1:03:35

it's a bit

1:03:36

of a

1:03:36

long

1:03:36

sequence

1:03:36

but

1:03:37

effectively

1:03:37

you can

1:03:37

think of

1:03:37

it as

1:03:38

the

1:03:38

United

1:03:38

States

1:03:38

and

1:03:38

Israel

1:03:39

Saudi

1:03:39

Arabia

1:03:39

in

1:03:40

the

1:03:40

middle

1:03:40

now

1:03:42

Adnan

1:03:43

Khashoggi

1:03:44

was

1:03:45

one of

1:03:46

the

1:03:46

major

1:03:46

clients

1:03:47

of

1:03:48

the

1:03:48

CIA's

1:03:49

BCCI

1:03:49

bank

1:03:50

and he

1:03:51

was

1:03:51

the

1:03:51

host

1:03:52

of

1:03:53

the

1:03:54

CIA's

1:03:54

offshore

1:03:55

operation

1:03:56

that was

1:03:57

created

1:03:57

in

1:03:57

1976

1:03:58

called

1:03:59

the

1:03:59

Safari

1:03:59

Club

1:03:59

in

1:04:01

in

1:04:02

1975

1:04:03

1976

1:04:03

when the

1:04:04

CIA

1:04:04

started

1:04:05

getting

1:04:05

handcuffs

1:04:05

put on

1:04:06

it

1:04:06

with

1:04:06

the

1:04:06

church

1:04:06

committee

1:04:07

hearings

1:04:07

Jeffrey

1:04:09

Epstein

1:04:09

starts

1:04:10

his

1:04:10

career

1:04:10

at

1:04:10

Bear

1:04:10

Stearns

1:04:11

in

1:04:11

1976

1:04:11

the

1:04:12

very

1:04:12

moment

1:04:13

of

1:04:14

the

1:04:14

biggest

1:04:15

shakeup

1:04:15

of

1:04:15

the

1:04:15

CIA

1:04:16

and

1:04:16

CIA

1:04:16

history

1:04:17

at

1:04:18

that

1:04:19

moment

1:04:19

the

1:04:20

church

1:04:20

committee

1:04:20

hearings

1:04:21

were

1:04:21

ongoing

1:04:21

and

1:04:22

the

1:04:22

public

1:04:23

was

1:04:23

seeing

1:04:23

Colby

1:04:27

and

1:04:27

Angleton

1:04:27

holding up

1:04:28

a heart

1:04:29

attack

1:04:29

gun

1:04:29

how

1:04:31

the

1:04:31

CIA

1:04:31

can

1:04:31

kill

1:04:32

someone

1:04:32

and

1:04:32

make

1:04:33

it

1:04:33

look

1:04:33

like

1:04:33

they

1:04:33

died

1:04:33

organically

1:04:34

of a

1:04:34

heart

1:04:34

attack

1:04:35

operation

1:04:36

chaos

1:04:36

had just

1:04:37

broke

1:04:37

about

1:04:37

the

1:04:37

CIA

1:04:38

funding

1:04:39

student

1:04:39

groups

1:04:39

on

1:04:39

American

1:04:40

college

1:04:40

campuses

1:04:41

COINTEL

1:04:42

broke

1:04:42

MK

1:04:43

Ultra

1:04:44

broke

1:04:44

it was

1:04:45

one

1:04:45

house

1:04:46

of

1:04:46

horrors

1:04:46

after

1:04:46

another

1:04:47

on

1:04:48

everybody's

1:04:48

TV

1:04:49

that only

1:04:50

had

1:04:50

three

1:04:50

news

1:04:50

stations

1:04:51

and

1:04:52

and

1:04:52

and

1:04:52

so

1:04:53

Democrats

1:04:53

were

1:04:54

completely

1:04:54

fired

1:04:55

up

1:04:55

about

1:04:55

getting

1:04:56

rid

1:04:56

of

1:04:56

the

1:04:57

CIA

1:04:57

or

1:04:57

putting

1:04:58

massive

1:04:58

handcuffs

1:04:59

on

1:04:59

it

1:04:59

which

1:04:59

is

1:05:00

what

1:05:00

they

1:05:00

did

1:05:00

they

1:05:01

created

1:05:02

effectively

1:05:02

what's

1:05:03

now

1:05:03

the

1:05:03

Senate

1:05:04

and

1:05:04

House

1:05:05

Intelligence

1:05:05

Committee

1:05:05

so there's

1:05:06

oversight

1:05:06

of the

1:05:07

CIA

1:05:07

by the

1:05:08

people's

1:05:09

representatives

1:05:09

the

1:05:11

first year

1:05:13

Carter

1:05:13

was in

1:05:13

office

1:05:13

in

1:05:14

1977

1:05:14

went

1:05:15

through

1:05:15

what was

1:05:16

called

1:05:16

the

1:05:16

Halloween

1:05:16

massacre

1:05:17

fired

1:05:17

30%

1:05:18

of

1:05:18

all

1:05:19

CIA

1:05:19

operations

1:05:20

personnel

1:05:21

they

1:05:23

massively

1:05:23

cut

1:05:24

funding

1:05:24

and

1:05:26

so

1:05:27

in

1:05:27

response

1:05:28

to

1:05:28

this

1:05:28

you

1:05:29

had

1:05:29

a

1:05:29

set

1:05:30

of

1:05:30

stakeholders

1:05:31

who

1:05:31

wanted

1:05:32

that

1:05:32

CIA

1:05:32

dirty

1:05:33

work

1:05:33

to

1:05:33

still

1:05:33

be

1:05:33

doable

1:05:34

but

1:05:34

they

1:05:34

didn't

1:05:35

have

1:05:35

the

1:05:35

legal

1:05:35

authorization

1:05:36

to run

1:05:36

it

1:05:36

out

1:05:36

of

1:05:36

the

1:05:36

CIA

1:05:37

so

1:05:38

what

1:05:38

they

1:05:38

did

1:05:38

is

1:05:38

they

1:05:39

took

1:05:39

the

1:05:39

same

1:05:39

group

1:05:39

of

1:05:40

international

1:05:40

partners

1:05:40

that

1:05:41

they

1:05:41

had

1:05:41

been

1:05:41

working

1:05:42

with

1:05:43

that

1:05:43

includes

1:05:44

Saudi

1:05:44

Arabia

1:05:45

Israel

1:05:46

the

1:05:47

UK

1:05:47

France

1:05:48

at

1:05:49

the

1:05:49

time

1:05:49

Iran

1:05:50

because

1:05:50

this

1:05:50

was

1:05:50

before

1:05:51

the

1:05:51

1979

1:05:52

Iranian

1:05:52

revolution

1:05:53

they

1:05:54

were

1:05:54

all

1:05:54

part

1:05:54

of

1:05:54

this

1:05:54

thing

1:05:54

called

1:05:55

the

1:05:55

safari

1:05:55

club

1:05:56

which

1:05:56

got

1:05:56

its

1:05:56

name

1:05:56

from

1:05:57

the

1:05:57

Mount

1:05:59

Safari

1:05:59

it was

1:06:00

basically

1:06:00

a resort

1:06:01

club

1:06:01

in Kenya

1:06:02

which

1:06:03

was the

1:06:03

main

1:06:03

hub

1:06:04

just

1:06:05

like

1:06:05

Colombia

1:06:06

for

1:06:06

example

1:06:06

is

1:06:06

kind

1:06:07

of

1:06:07

the

1:06:07

main

1:06:07

was

1:06:07

the

1:06:08

main

1:06:08

US

1:06:08

government

1:06:08

hub

1:06:09

for

1:06:09

logistics

1:06:09

it

1:06:10

was

1:06:10

kind

1:06:10

of

1:06:10

a

1:06:10

foothold

1:06:11

for

1:06:12

our

1:06:12

ability

1:06:13

to

1:06:13

do

1:06:13

work

1:06:17

or

1:06:18

Brazil

1:06:18

in

1:06:19

Africa

1:06:20

Kenya

1:06:20

was

1:06:20

our

1:06:20

main

1:06:20

stronghold

1:06:21

and

1:06:22

so

1:06:23

but

1:06:23

Adnan

1:06:23

Khashoggi

1:06:24

ran

1:06:24

that

1:06:24

this

1:06:25

was

1:06:25

basically

1:06:25

a

1:06:26

seven

1:06:27

eight

1:06:27

country

1:06:28

joint

1:06:29

covert

1:06:30

operations

1:06:31

intelligence

1:06:32

network

1:06:33

and

1:06:34

it

1:06:34

was

1:06:35

informal

1:06:36

it

1:06:36

wasn't

1:06:37

technically

1:06:37

the

1:06:37

CIA

1:06:38

and

1:06:40

it

1:06:40

was

1:06:40

set

1:06:40

up

1:06:41

you can

1:06:41

pull

1:06:41

the

1:06:41

wikipedia

1:06:42

for

1:06:42

this

1:06:42

actually

1:06:43

it

1:06:43

just

1:06:43

so

1:06:43

you

1:06:43

don't

1:06:43

need

1:06:44

to

1:06:44

take

1:06:44

my

1:06:44

word

1:06:44

for

1:06:44

it

1:06:44

like

1:06:45

literally

1:06:45

the

1:06:45

sanitized

1:06:46

wikipedia

1:06:46

will

1:06:47

tell you

1:06:48

everything

1:06:48

that I'm

1:06:49

saying

1:06:49

here

1:06:49

and

1:06:50

it

1:06:51

ended

1:06:52

up

1:06:52

that

1:06:52

network

1:06:53

ended

1:06:53

up

1:06:53

becoming

1:06:54

one

1:06:54

of

1:06:55

the

1:06:55

main

1:06:56

yeah

1:06:58

so if

1:06:58

you start

1:06:58

at the

1:06:59

top

1:06:59

you'll

1:07:00

see

1:07:00

that

1:07:01

there

1:07:01

it

1:07:01

is

1:07:01

on

1:07:01

the

1:07:01

right

1:07:02

the

1:07:02

safari

1:07:02

club

1:07:02

it

1:07:03

was

1:07:03

a

1:07:03

covert

1:07:03

alliance

1:07:03

of

1:07:04

intelligence

1:07:04

services

1:07:04

formed

1:07:05

in

1:07:05

1976

1:07:06

that ran

1:07:06

clandestine

1:07:07

operations

1:07:07

in

1:07:08

Africa

1:07:08

now what

1:07:09

they're

1:07:09

leaving out

1:07:09

here is

1:07:10

that it

1:07:10

was also

1:07:10

Asia

1:07:11

played a

1:07:12

huge

1:07:12

role

1:07:12

in

1:07:12

Pakistan

1:07:13

and

1:07:14

Afghanistan

1:07:15

and the

1:07:16

like

1:07:16

but

1:07:17

these

1:07:17

were

1:07:17

all

1:07:17

these

1:07:18

different

1:07:18

countries

1:07:19

attempt

1:07:20

to

1:07:21

offset

1:07:22

the

1:07:22

restrictions

1:07:22

that the

1:07:23

Democrats

1:07:24

had put

1:07:24

on the

1:07:24

CIA

1:07:25

when

1:07:26

Reagan

1:07:26

gets

1:07:26

back

1:07:26

to

1:07:27

power

1:07:27

in

1:07:28

1981

1:07:28

you

1:07:31

still

1:07:31

have

1:07:31

these

1:07:31

handcuffs

1:07:32

on

1:07:32

the

1:07:32

CIA

1:07:33

you

1:07:33

still

1:07:33

have

1:07:33

the

1:07:34

Democrats

1:07:34

controlling

1:07:34

the

1:07:34

House

1:07:35

of

1:07:35

Representatives

1:07:35

the

1:07:36

Democrats

1:07:37

did

1:07:39

you know

1:07:39

so there

1:07:39

was an

1:07:39

international

1:07:40

arms

1:07:40

embargo

1:07:40

first of

1:07:41

all in

1:07:41

1979

1:07:42

the Iranian

1:07:43

revolution

1:07:43

happens

1:07:44

and it's

1:07:44

blamed

1:07:44

on the

1:07:45

CIA

1:07:45

being

1:07:46

cut

1:07:46

back

1:07:46

the

1:07:47

CIA

1:07:47

helped

1:07:48

install

1:07:48

the

1:07:48

Shah

1:07:48

in

1:07:49

1953

1:07:50

they

1:07:53

argued

1:07:53

that if

1:07:54

Jimmy Carter

1:07:54

hadn't

1:07:55

destroyed

1:07:55

the CIA

1:07:56

we would

1:07:57

still

1:07:58

have

1:07:58

Iran

1:07:59

as a

1:07:59

friendly

1:07:59

country

1:08:00

we could

1:08:01

have

1:08:01

stopped

1:08:01

this

1:08:01

we

1:08:02

could

1:08:02

have

1:08:02

nipped

1:08:02

it

1:08:02

in

1:08:03

the

1:08:03

bud

1:08:03

we

1:08:03

could

1:08:04

have

1:08:04

had

1:08:04

people

1:08:04

on

1:08:04

the

1:08:04

ground

1:08:05

it's

1:08:06

Jimmy

1:08:06

Carter's

1:08:06

fault

1:08:06

that he

1:08:07

that he

1:08:07

cut

1:08:07

the CIA

1:08:08

that we're

1:08:08

in this

1:08:08

disaster

1:08:09

with the

1:08:10

world's

1:08:10

third largest

1:08:11

reserve

1:08:11

of oil

1:08:12

and gas

1:08:12

and this

1:08:14

hugely

1:08:14

geostrategic

1:08:15

country

1:08:16

now being

1:08:17

an enemy

1:08:18

of America

1:08:18

rather than

1:08:19

a friend

1:08:19

the

1:08:20

the

1:08:21

so an

1:08:22

international

1:08:22

arms

1:08:22

embargo

1:08:23

was put

1:08:23

on Iran

1:08:23

but then

1:08:24

Iraq

1:08:25

threatened

1:08:26

to

1:08:26

invade it

1:08:27

and we

1:08:28

didn't

1:08:28

want

1:08:29

Iraq

1:08:29

to take

1:08:30

it

1:08:30

over

1:08:30

so we

1:08:30

had to

1:08:31

get

1:08:31

we had

1:08:32

to do

1:08:32

something

1:08:33

illegal

1:08:33

if we

1:08:33

wanted

1:08:34

to help

1:08:34

Iran

1:08:35

and it

1:08:36

was against

1:08:36

international law

1:08:37

to give

1:08:37

them weapons

1:08:38

but if we

1:08:39

didn't give

1:08:39

them weapons

1:08:40

it was

1:08:41

perceived

1:08:41

massive

1:08:42

geostrategic

1:08:43

geopolitical

1:08:44

earthquake

1:08:44

that we'd

1:08:46

lived with

1:08:46

for

1:08:46

centuries

1:08:47

so you

1:08:49

had to

1:08:49

do

1:08:50

one

1:08:50

illegal

1:08:50

action

1:08:51

with

1:08:51

the

1:08:51

gun

1:08:52

running

1:08:52

and

1:08:53

then

1:08:53

there

1:08:53

was

1:08:53

an

1:08:53

inter-party

1:08:54

dispute

1:08:54

the

1:08:56

Democrats

1:08:56

at that

1:08:57

time

1:08:57

the

1:08:59

majority

1:08:59

did not

1:09:00

want

1:09:00

to do

1:09:01

intervention

1:09:04

in Nicaragua

1:09:05

there was

1:09:06

an in-party

1:09:07

power

1:09:08

called the

1:09:09

Sandinista

1:09:09

government

1:09:10

and there

1:09:11

was a

1:09:12

rebel

1:09:13

faction

1:09:14

called the

1:09:14

Contras

1:09:15

and Republican

1:09:16

donors and

1:09:17

stakeholders

1:09:18

had

1:09:18

interests

1:09:19

in Nicaragua

1:09:19

and wanted

1:09:21

to help

1:09:21

the

1:09:21

Contras

1:09:22

overthrow

1:09:23

the

1:09:23

Sandinista

1:09:24

government

1:09:24

but there

1:09:26

was a

1:09:26

party

1:09:26

dispute

1:09:26

Democrat

1:09:27

donors

1:09:27

didn't

1:09:28

profit

1:09:28

from that

1:09:28

and they

1:09:29

at the

1:09:30

time

1:09:30

had a

1:09:31

fairly

1:09:31

robust

1:09:31

anti-imperialism

1:09:33

kind of

1:09:33

mindset

1:09:34

and were

1:09:35

sick of

1:09:35

CIA

1:09:36

regime

1:09:36

change

1:09:37

by the

1:09:37

early

1:09:37

1980s

1:09:38

after

1:09:38

everything

1:09:39

that was

1:09:39

disclosed

1:09:40

in just

1:09:40

the

1:09:40

previous

1:09:41

years

1:09:41

so

1:09:42

Republicans

1:09:42

wanted

1:09:43

to overthrow

1:09:44

the Nicaraguan

1:09:44

governments

1:09:44

Democrats

1:09:45

didn't

1:09:46

Democrats

1:09:47

had a

1:09:47

House

1:09:47

majority

1:09:48

and they

1:09:48

passed

1:09:49

something

1:09:49

called

1:09:49

the

1:09:49

Bolin

1:09:50

Amendment

1:09:50

which

1:09:51

forbade

1:09:51

any

1:09:52

U.S.

1:09:52

government

1:09:52

funds

1:09:53

from going

1:09:53

to support

1:09:54

the

1:09:54

Contras

1:09:54

so this

1:09:55

put

1:09:56

the

1:09:57

Republicans

1:09:57

in a

1:09:58

pickle

1:09:58

by the way

1:09:59

this is

1:09:59

what's

1:10:00

happening

1:10:00

kind of

1:10:00

today

1:10:01

around

1:10:01

Ukraine

1:10:02

if you

1:10:02

flip

1:10:02

the

1:10:03

parties

1:10:03

100%

1:10:04

of

1:10:04

Democrats

1:10:04

vote

1:10:05

for

1:10:05

Ukraine

1:10:05

funding

1:10:06

the

1:10:06

Republican

1:10:07

party

1:10:07

is

1:10:08

split

1:10:08

about

1:10:08

it

1:10:09

this

1:10:09

is

1:10:10

the

1:10:10

inverse

1:10:10

of

1:10:10

that

1:10:10

was

1:10:11

happening

1:10:11

in

1:10:11

the

1:10:11

early

1:10:11

1980s

1:10:12

100%

1:10:13

Republicans

1:10:13

wanted

1:10:14

to

1:10:14

fund

1:10:14

the

1:10:15

Contras

1:10:15

against

1:10:17

what

1:10:17

they

1:10:17

called

1:10:17

the

1:10:18

Soviet

1:10:18

aligned

1:10:18

Sandinistas

1:10:20

and the

1:10:21

Democrats

1:10:22

were split

1:10:22

but

1:10:24

but they

1:10:24

successfully

1:10:25

passed

1:10:25

this

1:10:25

Bolin

1:10:25

Amendment

1:10:26

so the

1:10:26

CIA

1:10:26

was in

1:10:27

a pickle

1:10:27

how

1:10:29

how do

1:10:29

you

1:10:29

run

1:10:30

guns

1:10:31

to

1:10:32

Iran

1:10:32

when

1:10:33

it's

1:10:33

against

1:10:34

international

1:10:34

law

1:10:34

and

1:10:35

how

1:10:35

do

1:10:35

you

1:10:36

fund

1:10:36

the

1:10:36

Contras

1:10:36

when

1:10:37

it's

1:10:37

illegal

1:10:37

to

1:10:38

spend

1:10:38

U.S.

1:10:38

government

1:10:39

money

1:10:40

to

1:10:41

fund

1:10:42

them

1:10:42

and

1:10:43

so

1:10:45

what

1:10:45

they

1:10:46

came up

1:10:46

with

1:10:46

is

1:10:47

effectively

1:10:48

the

1:10:48

structure

1:10:48

I

1:10:49

think

1:10:49

it's

1:10:49

the

1:10:49

most

1:10:49

useful

1:10:50

structure

1:10:50

for

1:10:50

understanding

1:10:51

American

1:10:53

statecraft

1:10:53

and

1:10:54

intelligence

1:10:54

activity

1:10:55

to this

1:10:55

day

1:10:56

what

1:10:57

what

1:10:57

they

1:10:57

came up

1:10:58

with

1:10:58

is

1:10:59

what

1:10:59

they

1:10:59

called

1:11:00

a

1:11:01

structure

1:11:01

called

1:11:01

the

1:11:01

enterprise

1:11:02

which

1:11:03

the

1:11:04

CIA

1:11:04

director

1:11:04

Bill

1:11:05

Casey

1:11:05

referred

1:11:05

to

1:11:06

as

1:11:06

a

1:11:07

private

1:11:08

self

1:11:08

sustained

1:11:09

off the

1:11:10

shelf

1:11:10

standalone

1:11:12

entity

1:11:12

that did

1:11:13

not exist

1:11:14

within the

1:11:14

U.S.

1:11:14

government

1:11:15

but

1:11:16

was

1:11:17

instead

1:11:18

it

1:11:18

comprised

1:11:19

the money

1:11:20

came from

1:11:21

outside

1:11:21

fixers

1:11:22

who

1:11:23

would

1:11:24

then

1:11:24

effectively

1:11:25

channel

1:11:26

donor

1:11:26

money

1:11:27

and

1:11:27

black

1:11:28

market

1:11:28

trade

1:11:28

to

1:11:30

fund

1:11:30

the

1:11:31

contras

1:11:32

so

1:11:33

the

1:11:34

money

1:11:34

didn't

1:11:34

come

1:11:35

from

1:11:35

U.S.

1:11:36

taxpayers

1:11:36

it

1:11:36

didn't

1:11:37

come

1:11:37

from

1:11:37

USAID

1:11:37

it

1:11:38

didn't

1:11:38

come

1:11:38

from

1:11:39

an

1:11:39

allocation

1:11:40

from

1:11:40

the

1:11:41

U.S.

1:11:41

Department

1:11:41

of War

1:11:42

or foreign

1:11:42

assistance

1:11:43

from the

1:11:43

Department

1:11:43

of State

1:11:44

as it

1:11:47

turned out

1:11:47

the money

1:11:47

came from

1:11:48

you know

1:11:49

cocaine

1:11:49

and

1:11:50

and a

1:11:51

couple

1:11:52

of other

1:11:52

things

1:11:52

but

1:11:53

you

this

1:11:54

was

1:12:00

Kerry

1:12:00

and

1:12:02

the

1:12:04

this

1:12:05

was

1:12:05

the

1:12:05

soup

1:12:05

that

1:12:06

Jeffrey

1:12:06

Epstein

1:12:06

was

1:12:07

was

1:12:07

coming

up

1:12:08

in

1:12:08

and

1:12:08

you

1:12:08

know

1:12:08

funny

1:12:09

story

1:12:09

related

1:12:09

to

1:12:09

this

1:12:10

is

1:12:10

that

1:12:10

the

1:12:10

the

1:12:11

main

1:12:11

airline

1:12:12

for

1:12:17

cash

1:12:17

for

1:12:17

guns

1:12:18

operation

1:12:18

was

1:12:20

a

1:12:20

CIA

1:12:21

proprietary

1:12:21

airline

1:12:22

called

1:12:22

Transport

1:12:23

Southern

1:12:26

Air

1:12:26

Transport

1:12:27

was

1:12:28

was

1:12:30

the

1:12:30

proprietary

1:12:32

CIA

1:12:32

airline

1:12:32

meaning

1:12:33

owned

1:12:33

and

1:12:34

operated

1:12:34

exclusively

1:12:35

by the

1:12:36

Central

1:12:36

Intelligence

1:12:36

Agency

1:12:37

and

1:12:38

it

1:12:39

was

1:12:39

the

1:12:40

you know

1:12:41

the

1:12:41

airliner

1:12:41

that

1:12:42

all

1:12:42

these

1:12:42

aircraft

1:12:43

went

1:12:43

moved

1:12:44

through

1:12:44

Iran

1:12:47

Contra

1:12:47

was

1:12:47

basically

1:12:48

the

1:12:48

early

1:12:48

1980s

1:12:49

up

1:12:49

until

1:12:49

like

1:12:50

the

1:12:50

mid

1:12:50

late

1:12:50

1980s

1:12:51

in

1:12:52

19

1:12:52

it

1:12:53

was

1:12:53

it

1:12:53

was

1:12:53

based

1:12:53

in

1:12:54

Miami

1:12:54

in

1:12:56

1994

1:12:58

Southern

1:12:59

Air

1:12:59

Transport

1:13:00

the

1:13:00

CIA

1:13:01

proprietary

1:13:02

airline

1:13:02

which

1:13:03

in the

1:13:04

intervening

1:13:04

time

1:13:05

was spun

1:13:05

out

1:13:05

to not

1:13:06

be

1:13:06

owned

1:13:06

by

1:13:06

the

1:13:06

CIA

1:13:06

but

1:13:07

rather

1:13:07

to be

1:13:07

owned

1:13:07

by

1:13:08

someone

1:13:09

who

1:13:09

had

1:13:09

worked

1:13:09

for

1:13:10

the

1:13:10

CIA

1:13:10

at

1:13:13

the

1:13:13

time

1:13:13

it

1:13:13

was

1:13:14

owned

1:13:14

by

1:13:14

the

1:13:14

CIA

1:13:14

so

1:13:15

you

1:13:15

know

1:13:15

pretty

1:13:15

thin

1:13:16

layer

1:13:16

there

1:13:16

but

1:13:17

it

1:13:17

moved

1:13:18

from

1:13:18

Miami

1:13:19

to

1:13:20

Columbus

1:13:21

Ohio

1:13:21

primarily

1:13:23

to

1:13:23

service

1:13:24

the

1:13:24

limited

1:13:25

oh

1:13:25

I don't

1:13:25

know all

1:13:26

about

1:13:26

this

1:13:26

Joe

1:13:26

I have

1:13:27

a video

1:13:28

on

1:13:29

this

1:13:29

look

1:13:30

over

1:13:30

at

1:13:31

Jamie

1:13:31

because

1:13:31

he's

1:13:31

obsessed

1:13:32

with

1:13:33

Patel

1:13:34

yeah

1:13:34

probably

1:13:34

told you

1:13:34

about

1:13:34

this

1:13:35

five

1:13:35

years

1:13:35

ago

1:13:35

yeah

1:13:35

yeah

1:13:36

okay

1:13:37

well there's

1:13:37

a great

1:13:38

article

1:13:38

I think

1:13:39

spook

1:13:39

air

1:13:40

and

1:13:41

you know

1:13:43

on this

1:13:44

but

1:13:44

how many roads

1:13:45

lead back to

1:13:45

Ohio

1:13:46

most

1:13:49

most if

1:13:50

not

1:13:50

what is

1:13:51

what is

1:13:51

this

1:13:51

connection

1:13:52

with

1:13:52

Ohio

1:13:52

well

1:13:55

Ohio

1:13:55

was

1:13:57

you know

1:13:58

if you

1:13:58

remember

1:13:58

kind of

1:14:00

the origins

1:14:00

of

1:14:01

of

1:14:01

organized

1:14:02

crime

1:14:02

in

1:14:02

the

1:14:03

United

1:14:03

States

1:14:03

really

1:14:05

goes back

1:14:05

to the

1:14:06

prohibition

1:14:06

era

1:14:06

when

1:14:07

you

1:14:08

had

1:14:08

this

1:14:10

Midwestern

1:14:11

mafia

1:14:12

syndicate

1:14:13

around

1:14:15

Cincinnati

1:14:16

and

1:14:17

then

1:14:17

it

1:14:17

moved

1:14:17

into

1:14:18

Dayton

1:14:18

and

1:14:19

Columbus

1:14:19

and

1:14:20

adjacent

1:14:20

to

1:14:20

Chicago

1:14:21

and

1:14:21

this

1:14:22

whole

1:14:22

sort

1:14:22

of

1:14:22

hub

1:14:23

around

1:14:24

prohibition

1:14:25

and

1:14:25

then

1:14:25

prohibition

1:14:26

was

1:14:26

1920

1:14:26

to

1:14:26

1933

1:14:27

when

1:14:28

prohibition

1:14:29

ended

1:14:29

all these

1:14:30

networks

1:14:31

went from

1:14:32

black market

1:14:32

alcohol

1:14:33

to black

1:14:33

market

1:14:34

drugs

1:14:34

because

1:14:35

it was

1:14:35

no longer

1:14:36

black

1:14:36

market

1:14:36

they

1:14:37

no longer

1:14:38

had a

1:14:38

business

1:14:38

smuggling

1:14:39

alcohol

1:14:39

so

1:14:40

they

1:14:41

moved

1:14:41

into

1:14:41

the

1:14:41

narcotics

1:14:42

space

1:14:42

which

1:14:43

ones

1:14:44

which

1:14:44

narcotics

1:14:45

well

1:14:46

it

1:14:47

was

1:14:48

primarily

1:14:49

opium

1:14:50

in the

1:14:51

1930s

1:14:52

this was

1:14:52

part of

1:14:53

opium

1:14:53

really

1:14:54

well

1:14:54

yeah

1:14:55

if you

1:14:55

because

1:14:56

in the

1:14:56

1930s

1:14:57

was when

1:14:57

you had

1:14:58

as you

1:14:59

know

1:14:59

as we

1:14:59

discussed

1:15:00

the

1:15:00

department

1:15:00

of wars

1:15:01

alliance

1:15:01

with

1:15:01

Chiang Kai-shek

1:15:02

and the

1:15:03

and the

1:15:04

Kuomintang

1:15:04

the Chinese

1:15:05

nationalists

1:15:05

the supply

1:15:06

for

1:15:07

you know

1:15:09

the supply

1:15:11

for

1:15:12

heroin

1:15:12

for example

1:15:13

or you

1:15:14

know

1:15:14

opium

1:15:15

it comes

1:15:15

from

1:15:15

Asia

1:15:16

comes

1:15:17

from

1:15:17

the

1:15:17

golden

1:15:17

crescent

1:15:17

the

1:15:18

golden

1:15:18

triangle

1:15:18

and

1:15:20

the

1:15:20

way

1:15:20

this

1:15:21

logistics

1:15:21

chain

1:15:22

moved

1:15:22

was

1:15:22

our

1:15:23

CIA

1:15:25

war

1:15:26

department

1:15:27

backed

1:15:27

rebel

1:15:28

groups

1:15:28

in

1:15:29

Asia

1:15:29

they

1:15:30

sat

1:15:30

territorially

1:15:31

on the

1:15:32

golden

1:15:32

triangle

1:15:32

they

1:15:34

would

1:15:34

cultivate

1:15:34

the

1:15:35

opium

1:15:36

they

1:15:37

would

1:15:37

basically

1:15:40

fly it

1:15:41

out

1:15:41

on

1:15:41

military

1:15:42

aircraft

1:15:42

it

1:15:43

went

1:15:44

to

1:15:44

Europe

1:15:44

for

1:15:44

processing

1:15:45

in

1:15:45

France

1:15:48

that

1:15:48

was

1:15:48

one of

1:15:48

the

1:15:48

main

1:15:49

this

1:15:50

kind

1:15:51

of

1:15:51

French

1:15:51

connection

1:15:52

saga

1:15:52

which

1:15:53

again

1:15:53

Jeffrey

1:15:53

Epstein

1:15:54

is

1:15:54

weirdly

1:15:54

connected

1:15:55

to

1:15:55

and

1:15:55

I

1:15:55

can

1:15:56

tell you

1:15:57

about

1:15:57

that

1:15:57

if

1:15:57

you're

1:15:58

interested

1:15:58

and

1:15:58

then

1:15:59

it

1:15:59

would

1:15:59

go

1:15:59

to

1:15:59

the

1:16:00

basically

1:16:00

Italian

1:16:01

mafia

1:16:02

folks

1:16:02

for

1:16:04

the

1:16:04

transshipment

1:16:05

and

1:16:05

you

1:16:05

had

1:16:06

Italian

1:16:06

mafia

1:16:07

controlled

1:16:07

docks

1:16:08

and

1:16:09

ports

1:16:09

in

1:16:09

the

1:16:10

United

1:16:10

States

1:16:10

and

1:16:10

New

1:16:10

York

1:16:11

and

1:16:11

New

1:16:11

Jersey

1:16:11

and

1:16:12

you

1:16:12

had

1:16:13

you

1:16:13

know

1:16:14

CIA

1:16:14

protected

1:16:15

Italian

1:16:15

mafia

1:16:16

groups

1:16:16

in

1:16:16

southern

1:16:16

Italy

1:16:17

which

1:16:17

at

1:16:18

the

1:16:18

time

1:16:18

were

1:16:18

national

1:16:20

security

1:16:21

protected

1:16:21

because

1:16:22

they

1:16:22

were

1:16:22

our

1:16:22

allies

1:16:23

against

1:16:23

the

1:16:24

communists

1:16:24

and

1:16:25

so

1:16:25

you

1:16:25

had

1:16:25

this

1:16:26

this

1:16:26

drug

1:16:27

trade

1:16:27

to

1:16:27

support

1:16:28

foreign

1:16:28

policy

1:16:29

imperatives

1:16:30

and

1:16:31

you

1:16:32

can

1:16:32

do

1:16:32

that

1:16:33

you

1:16:33

can

1:16:33

run

1:16:33

that

1:16:33

exercise

1:16:33

with

1:16:34

pretty

1:16:34

much

1:16:34

every

1:16:34

drug

1:16:35

on

1:16:36

planet

1:16:36

earth

1:16:36

at

1:16:37

this

1:16:37

point

1:16:37

and

1:16:38

it

1:16:38

makes

1:16:38

it

1:16:38

very

1:16:38

difficult

1:16:39

to

1:16:39

stop

1:16:39

the

1:16:39

drug

1:16:39

trade

1:16:40

because

1:16:40

by

1:16:41

stopping

1:16:41

the

1:16:41

drug

1:16:41

trade

1:16:42

you

1:16:42

are

1:16:43

you're

1:16:44

running

1:16:44

up

1:16:44

against

1:16:45

something

1:16:45

that

1:16:46

your

1:16:46

own

1:16:46

government

1:16:47

considers

1:16:47

a

1:16:49

perhaps

1:16:49

unfortunate

1:16:49

but

1:16:50

necessary

1:16:51

logistics

1:16:52

hub

1:16:52

do you

1:16:52

think

1:16:52

that's

1:16:52

happening

1:16:53

right

1:16:53

now

1:16:53

with

1:16:53

Mexico

1:16:54

yeah

1:16:54

whoa

1:16:57

well

1:16:58

I mean

1:16:58

think

1:16:58

about

1:16:58

this

1:16:59

fast

1:16:59

and

1:16:59

furious

1:17:00

yeah

1:17:01

wasn't

1:17:01

that

1:17:01

long

1:17:01

ago

1:17:02

the

1:17:02

fast

1:17:02

and

1:17:02

furious

1:17:03

story

1:17:03

is

1:17:04

fucking

1:17:04

bananas

1:17:05

tell it to

1:17:06

people

1:17:06

that don't

1:17:07

know

1:17:07

because

1:17:08

just the

1:17:09

idea

1:17:09

that they

1:17:10

proposed

1:17:11

this

1:17:11

and

1:17:12

implemented

1:17:12

it

1:17:13

is so

1:17:13

fucking

1:17:14

crazy

1:17:15

yeah

1:17:15

well

1:17:16

so

1:17:16

this

1:17:17

was

1:17:17

a

1:17:17

scandal

1:17:17

during

1:17:18

the

1:17:18

Obama

1:17:19

administration

1:17:20

Eric

1:17:20

Holder

1:17:21

was the

1:17:21

attorney

1:17:21

general

1:17:21

of the

1:17:21

United

1:17:22

States

1:17:22

he had

1:17:23

to step

1:17:23

down

1:17:24

because

1:17:24

he was

1:17:24

held in

1:17:25

contempt of

1:17:25

Congress

1:17:25

for jumping

1:17:26

on the

1:17:27

grenade

1:17:27

and not

1:17:27

turning over

1:17:28

the Fast

1:17:29

and Furious

1:17:29

files

1:17:30

earth to

1:17:32

Congress

1:17:33

note to

1:17:33

Congress

1:17:33

who wants

1:17:34

to be a

1:17:34

hero

1:17:35

by the

1:17:35

way

1:17:35

you can

1:17:36

do the

1:17:37

same

1:17:37

thing

1:17:37

with the

1:17:37

Epstein

1:17:38

bill

1:17:38

with the

1:17:39

Fast

1:17:40

and Furious

1:17:40

files

1:17:40

I think

1:17:42

everybody

1:17:42

in this

1:17:43

war on

1:17:44

drugs

1:17:44

that

1:17:45

you know

1:17:45

were

1:17:45

so

1:17:46

gung-ho

1:17:47

about

1:17:47

we just

1:17:48

captured

1:17:48

the

1:17:48

president

1:17:48

of

1:17:49

Venezuela

1:17:49

over

1:17:49

drugs

1:17:50

it

1:17:50

would

1:17:51

be

1:17:51

awfully

1:17:52

nice

1:17:52

if you

1:17:53

compelled

1:17:53

the

1:17:53

Justice

1:17:53

Department

1:17:54

and

1:17:54

FBI

1:17:54

to

1:17:55

turn

1:17:55

over

1:17:56

the

1:17:56

Justice

1:17:57

Department

1:17:57

and

1:17:57

FBI

1:17:58

run

1:17:58

Fast

1:17:58

and

1:17:59

Furious

1:17:59

files

1:17:59

but

1:18:01

what

1:18:01

happened

1:18:01

was

1:18:01

is

1:18:02

and

1:18:03

I

1:18:03

believe

1:18:03

this

1:18:03

had

1:18:03

interagency

1:18:04

approval

1:18:05

meaning

1:18:06

the

1:18:06

White

1:18:07

House

1:18:07

signed

1:18:07

off

1:18:08

on

1:18:08

it

1:18:08

the

1:18:08

Central

1:18:08

1:18:09

agency

1:18:09

signed

1:18:09

off

1:18:10

on

1:18:10

it

1:18:10

the

1:18:10

Department

1:18:11

of

1:18:11

Defense

1:18:12

signed

1:18:12

off

1:18:12

on

1:18:12

it

1:18:13

the

1:18:13

FBI

1:18:15

and

1:18:16

ATF

1:18:16

signed

1:18:16

off

1:18:16

on

1:18:17

it

1:18:17

this

1:18:17

was

1:18:18

a

1:18:18

gun

1:18:19

running

1:18:19

operation

1:18:20

to

1:18:21

send

1:18:22

guns

1:18:23

to

1:18:23

the

1:18:23

Sinaloa

1:18:24

cartel

1:18:24

to

1:18:25

to

1:18:27

have

1:18:27

them

1:18:27

be able

1:18:28

to

1:18:28

successfully

1:18:29

win

1:18:29

a

1:18:30

narco

1:18:31

drug

1:18:31

drug

1:18:31

war

1:18:31

against

1:18:32

the

1:18:32

Los

1:18:32

Zetas

1:18:33

cartel

1:18:33

the

1:18:34

Los

1:18:34

Zetas

1:18:34

cartel

1:18:35

was

1:18:35

pilfering

1:18:35

oil

1:18:36

pipelines

1:18:36

remember

1:18:38

Mexico

1:18:38

the

1:18:39

oil

1:18:40

wealth

1:18:40

of the

1:18:40

United

1:18:40

States

1:18:41

is

1:18:41

vastly

1:18:42

disproportionately

1:18:42

concentrated

1:18:43

in Texas

1:18:44

in West

1:18:46

Texas

1:18:46

and Southern

1:18:47

Texas

1:18:47

where it

1:18:48

shares oil

1:18:49

fields

1:18:49

with Mexico

1:18:50

effectively

1:18:50

those oil

1:18:51

fields

1:18:51

go

1:18:52

into Mexico

1:18:52

is replete

1:18:53

with oil

1:18:53

and there

1:18:54

are many

1:18:55

partnerships

1:18:55

between

1:18:56

United States

1:18:56

oil

1:18:57

companies

1:18:57

and

1:18:58

the

1:18:59

Mexican

1:18:59

government

1:18:59

Pemex

1:19:00

and all

1:19:01

the

1:19:01

different

1:19:01

you know

1:19:02

kind of

1:19:02

private

1:19:03

private

1:19:03

lines

1:19:04

and this

1:19:04

is a

1:19:04

big

1:19:04

point

1:19:04

of

1:19:04

geopolitical

1:19:05

contention

1:19:05

but the

1:19:06

fact

1:19:06

is

1:19:06

one

1:19:07

of the

1:19:07

things

1:19:08

that

1:19:08

organized

1:19:09

crime

1:19:09

groups

1:19:09

do

1:19:10

in

1:19:11

order

1:19:11

to

1:19:11

get

1:19:12

money

1:19:12

for

1:19:12

their

1:19:13

own

1:19:13

syndicate

1:19:13

because

1:19:14

they've

1:19:15

got

1:19:15

effectively

1:19:15

military

1:19:16

control

1:19:16

of

1:19:16

a

1:19:16

territory

1:19:17

is

1:19:18

if

1:19:18

a

1:19:18

pipeline

1:19:19

runs

1:19:20

through

1:19:20

that

1:19:20

territory

1:19:21

they

1:19:22

can

1:19:22

simply

1:19:22

cut

1:19:22

open

1:19:23

the

1:19:23

pipeline

1:19:23

and

1:19:23

steal

1:19:24

the

1:19:24

oil

1:19:24

this

1:19:27

was

1:19:28

happening

1:19:28

with

1:19:29

our

1:19:29

CIA

1:19:30

backed

1:19:30

rebel

1:19:31

groups

1:19:32

in

1:19:32

Syria

1:19:32

were

1:19:33

taking

1:19:33

the

1:19:33

oil

1:19:34

I

1:19:34

mean

1:19:34

we

1:19:34

would

1:19:34

literally

1:19:35

you know

1:19:35

our

1:19:35

spunky

1:19:37

moderate

1:19:37

rebels

1:19:38

would

1:19:38

you know

1:19:39

literally

1:19:39

cut open

1:19:40

Syrian

1:19:41

pipelines

1:19:41

and

1:19:41

take

1:19:42

the

1:19:42

oil

1:19:42

and

1:19:42

this

1:19:43

was

1:19:43

one

1:19:43

of

1:19:43

the

1:19:43

ways

1:19:44

to

1:19:44

support

1:19:44

it

1:19:45

you

1:19:45

can

1:19:45

support

1:19:46

it

1:19:46

with

1:19:46

drugs

1:19:46

you

1:19:47

can

1:19:47

support

1:19:47

it

1:19:47

with

1:19:47

black

1:19:48

market

1:19:48

oil

1:19:49

and

1:19:50

by

1:19:50

the

1:19:50

way

1:19:50

while

1:19:51

I'm

1:19:51

on

1:19:51

the

1:19:52

topic

1:19:52

if

1:19:55

you

1:19:55

pull up

1:19:56

and I

1:19:57

type

1:19:57

in

1:19:58

institute

1:19:59

for

1:20:00

peace

1:20:01

drugs

1:20:05

the

the U.S.

1:20:09

Institute

1:20:10

for

1:20:10

peace

1:20:10

told the

1:20:13

Taliban

1:20:13

not to

1:20:14

shut down

1:20:15

the drug

1:20:16

trade

1:20:16

after they

1:20:16

took

1:20:17

power

1:20:17

in

1:20:17

2022

1:20:18

they

1:20:19

said

1:20:19

it

1:20:19

would

1:20:19

have

1:20:20

a

1:20:20

devastating

1:20:20

negative

1:20:22

impact

1:20:23

on

1:20:23

the

1:20:24

local

1:20:25

economy

1:20:26

if

1:20:26

they

1:20:26

didn't

1:20:27

keep

1:20:27

growing

1:20:27

what

1:20:28

was

1:20:28

then

1:20:29

90

1:20:30

95

1:20:30

percent

1:20:31

of

1:20:32

the

1:20:32

well

1:20:32

yeah

1:20:32

if

1:20:33

you

1:20:33

well

1:20:33

I think

so

1:20:40

this

1:20:40

is

a

we

1:20:42

give

the

U.S.

Institute

1:20:43

of Peace

1:20:44

at the

time

them

1:20:45

55

1:20:45

million

1:20:45

1:20:47

created

1:20:47

by

1:20:48

active

1:20:48

Congress

1:20:48

this

1:20:48

headline

1:20:49

is

1:20:50

wild

1:20:50

the

1:20:51

Taliban

1:20:51

successful

1:20:52

opium

1:20:53

ban

1:20:53

is

1:20:53

bad

1:20:54

for

1:20:54

Afghans

1:20:55

and

1:20:55

the

1:20:56

world

1:20:56

yes

1:20:57

right

1:20:58

right

1:20:59

so

1:21:00

now

1:21:01

remember

1:21:01

just

1:21:02

about

1:21:03

you

1:21:05

know

1:21:05

the

1:21:07

Taliban

1:21:08

had

1:21:08

just

1:21:08

taken

1:21:09

back

1:21:10

power

1:21:10

that

1:21:12

happened

1:21:12

in the

1:21:12

you know

1:21:13

in the

1:21:13

early

1:21:13

Biden

1:21:14

administration

1:21:14

the

1:21:15

Taliban

1:21:16

if

1:21:16

folks

1:21:16

recall

1:21:17

cut

1:21:19

so

1:21:19

we

1:21:20

the

1:21:20

CIA

1:21:21

was

1:21:21

help

1:21:22

and

1:21:22

and

1:21:22

the

1:21:22

U.S.

1:21:23

military

1:21:23

as well

1:21:24

as

1:21:24

their

1:21:24

allies

1:21:24

and

1:21:24

with

1:21:25

regional

1:21:25

allies

1:21:26

were

1:21:27

cultivating

1:21:28

the

1:21:28

opium

1:21:28

on the

1:21:29

Golden

1:21:29

Crescent

1:21:30

for a

1:21:31

noble

1:21:32

cause

1:21:32

to win

1:21:33

the

1:21:33

Cold

1:21:34

War

1:21:34

against

1:21:34

the

1:21:35

evil

1:21:35

Soviets

1:21:36

this

1:21:37

was a

1:21:37

big

1:21:38

part

1:21:38

of the

1:21:39

funding

1:21:39

for

1:21:40

the

1:21:40

Mujahideen

1:21:41

and

1:21:42

this

1:21:42

was

1:21:43

one

1:21:43

of

1:21:43

the

1:21:43

big

1:21:43

scandals

1:21:44

that

1:21:44

ended

1:21:44

up

1:21:44

enveloping

1:21:45

BCCI

1:21:46

the

1:21:46

CIA's

1:21:47

bank

1:21:47

because

1:21:48

it

1:21:48

was

1:21:49

the

1:21:49

way

1:21:50

because

1:21:50

it

1:21:51

was

1:21:51

non-compliant

1:21:51

with

1:21:52

any

1:21:52

banking

1:21:52

regulations

1:21:53

it

1:21:53

all

1:21:53

moved

1:21:54

offshore

1:21:54

the

1:21:56

drug

1:21:57

money

1:21:57

the

1:21:58

drug

1:21:59

logistics

1:22:00

chain

1:22:00

that

1:22:01

the

1:22:01

CIA

1:22:01

built

1:22:02

for

1:22:02

the

1:22:02

Mujahideen

1:22:02

then

1:22:03

moved

1:22:03

through

1:22:03

the

1:22:04

drugs

1:22:05

money

1:22:05

laundering

1:22:06

chain

1:22:06

at

1:22:06

the

1:22:06

CIA

1:22:07

bank

1:22:07

and

1:22:08

this

1:22:08

apparatus

1:22:08

had

1:22:09

scaled

1:22:09

for

1:22:09

20

1:22:09

years

1:22:10

by

1:22:10

the

1:22:10

late

1:22:11

1990s

1:22:11

when

1:22:12

the

1:22:12

Taliban

1:22:12

like

1:22:13

the

1:22:13

Chinese

1:22:14

wanted

1:22:14

to

1:22:15

shut

1:22:15

it

1:22:15

down

1:22:15

when

1:22:16

the

1:22:16

Taliban

1:22:16

took

1:22:17

power

1:22:17

in

1:22:17

the

1:22:17

1990s

1:22:18

and

1:22:20

they

1:22:20

did

1:22:20

that

1:22:20

they

1:22:21

cut

1:22:21

the

1:22:22

opium

1:22:22

down

1:22:22

to

1:22:23

effectively

1:22:23

zero

1:22:24

in

1:22:25

1999

1:22:26

and

1:22:27

this

1:22:27

is

1:22:27

all

1:22:27

open

1:22:27

source

1:22:28

into

1:22:29

and

1:22:30

then

1:22:30

you

1:22:30

know

1:22:30

we

1:22:31

invade

1:22:31

Afghanistan

1:22:32

and

1:22:32

you

1:22:35

know

1:22:35

2001

1:22:37

2003

1:22:38

it

1:22:40

becomes

1:22:40

a

1:22:40

US

1:22:41

military

1:22:41

occupied

1:22:42

zone

1:22:42

and

1:22:42

it

1:22:42

goes

1:22:42

from

1:22:42

0%

1:22:43

of

1:22:43

the

1:22:43

world's

1:22:44

1:22:44

to

1:22:44

95%

1:22:45

of

1:22:45

the

1:22:45

world's

1:22:46

heroin

1:22:47

all

1:22:47

under

1:22:47

US

1:22:48

military

1:22:48

occupation

1:22:49

in

1:22:49

fact

1:22:49

we

1:22:50

installed

1:22:50

their

1:22:51

dictator

1:22:51

you

1:22:53

know

1:22:54

who

1:22:54

whose

1:22:55

brother

1:22:56

was

1:22:57

was

1:22:58

the

1:22:59

main

1:22:59

drug

1:22:59

kingpin

1:23:00

of

1:23:00

the

1:23:00

whole

1:23:00

country

1:23:01

it's

1:23:02

and

1:23:03

some

1:23:03

of

1:23:03

this

1:23:03

move

1:23:04

through

1:23:04

some

1:23:06

of

1:23:06

this

1:23:06

move

1:23:06

through

1:23:06

the

1:23:07

cold

1:23:08

war

1:23:09

CIA

1:23:09

backed

1:23:09

Turkish

1:23:11

gray

1:23:12

wolves

1:23:12

outfit

1:23:13

and

1:23:14

there's

1:23:14

a funny

1:23:15

quote

1:23:15

I think

1:23:15

in the

1:23:16

Michael

1:23:16

Hastings

1:23:16

article

1:23:17

on

1:23:17

Stanley

1:23:19

McChrystal

1:23:20

where

1:23:20

Stanley

1:23:21

McChrystal's

1:23:21

team

1:23:22

refers

1:23:22

to

1:23:23

Hamid

1:23:24

Karzai's

1:23:25

funny

1:23:26

little

1:23:26

hat

1:23:26

that he

1:23:27

wore

1:23:27

Hamid

1:23:28

Karzai

1:23:28

was the

1:23:28

CIA

1:23:29

installed

1:23:29

you know

1:23:31

strongman

1:23:31

after we

1:23:33

took over

1:23:33

Afghanistan

1:23:34

he referred

1:23:34

to his

1:23:35

hat as

1:23:35

the

1:23:35

gray

1:23:35

wolves

1:23:35

vagina

1:23:36

I

1:23:36

mean

1:23:36

basically

1:23:37

saying

1:23:37

like

1:23:38

this

1:23:38

is

1:23:38

the

1:23:38

you

1:23:38

know

1:23:38

the

1:23:39

drug

1:23:39

logistics

1:23:40

orifice

1:23:42

but

1:23:43

leaving

1:23:44

that

1:23:44

aside

1:23:44

what

1:23:45

I'm

1:23:45

getting

1:23:45

to

1:23:46

is

1:23:46

you

1:23:47

have

1:23:48

this

1:23:48

banking

1:23:49

network

1:23:50

you

1:23:51

have

1:23:51

all

1:23:51

these

1:23:52

logistics

1:23:52

chains

1:23:52

Jeffrey

1:23:53

Epstein

1:23:54

his

1:23:55

first

1:23:56

10

1:23:57

when

1:23:57

his

1:23:57

come up

1:23:58

is made

1:23:59

through

1:23:59

this

1:23:59

whole

1:24:00

network

1:24:00

it

1:24:02

turns

1:24:03

out

1:24:03

that

1:24:03

Bear

1:24:03

Stearns

1:24:04

opened

1:24:05

a

1:24:06

trading

1:24:06

desk

1:24:06

with

1:24:07

to

1:24:07

clear

1:24:08

BCCI

1:24:09

transactions

1:24:10

in

1:24:10

1978

1:24:11

1978

1:24:12

Jeffrey

1:24:15

Epstein's

1:24:15

mentor

1:24:16

the person

1:24:16

who

1:24:17

actually

1:24:17

recruited

1:24:18

him

1:24:18

to

1:24:19

apply to

1:24:20

Bear

1:24:20

Stearns

1:24:21

was a guy

1:24:21

named

1:24:22

Ace Greenberg

1:24:22

Ace Greenberg

1:24:24

then was a senior executive at the time

1:24:26

and then

1:24:27

I think in 1978

1:24:29

or 1979

1:24:31

he becomes

1:24:32

CEO

1:24:33

so the head of Bear

1:24:33

Stearns

1:24:34

so Jeff

1:24:35

and he sets

1:24:36

Jeffrey Epstein up

1:24:37

with his daughter

1:24:39

so Jeffrey Epstein

1:24:40

is a

1:24:41

young kid

1:24:41

people wonder

1:24:42

how did

1:24:42

Jeffrey Epstein

1:24:43

make partner

1:24:43

at Bear

1:24:44

Stearns

1:24:44

so fast

1:24:44

well there's a couple

1:24:45

explanations

1:24:46

one is

1:24:47

the guy who brought him

1:24:49

into the firm

1:24:49

quickly became CEO

1:24:51

thereafter

1:24:52

and Jeffrey Epstein

1:24:54

was dating his daughter

1:24:55

the New York Times

1:24:55

actually reported this

1:24:56

about a month and a half ago

1:24:58

by getting the

1:24:59

insider testimony

1:25:00

of a dozen people

1:25:01

who worked at

1:25:02

Bear Stearns

1:25:03

at the time

1:25:03

and

1:25:05

so you know

1:25:06

he's dating the boss's

1:25:07

daughter

1:25:08

but also

1:25:09

Ace Greenberg

1:25:10

is the CEO

1:25:11

would have to approve

1:25:13

all of these

1:25:14

transactions

1:25:15

and it looks like

1:25:16

was involved in

1:25:16

you know

1:25:17

these clearinghouse

1:25:18

activities

1:25:18

what happened was

1:25:19

is

1:25:20

Bear Stearns

1:25:22

cleared

1:25:22

about

1:25:25

13 billion dollars

1:25:26

worth of

1:25:26

BCCI

1:25:27

transactions

1:25:28

and it looks like

1:25:29

these transactions

1:25:30

were involved

1:25:30

in the very same

1:25:33

Adnan Khashoggi

1:25:34

Society

1:25:35

and Doug Lease

1:25:36

who was a

1:25:37

British arms dealer

1:25:38

that Jeffrey Epstein

1:25:39

was flying

1:25:40

to London

1:25:40

to meet with

1:25:41

and working

1:25:42

with all those

1:25:43

years

1:25:43

and

1:25:45

Bear Stearns

1:25:47

was doing it

1:25:48

through this

1:25:48

entity called

1:25:49

Capcom

1:25:50

which was

1:25:51

what the

1:25:53

Senate

1:25:54

report

1:25:55

on the

1:25:56

BCCI

1:25:56

scandal

1:25:57

referred to

1:25:57

as the

1:25:58

bank

1:25:58

within the

1:25:58

bank

1:25:59

of BCCI

1:25:59

so kind

1:26:00

of the

1:26:00

inner sanctum

1:26:01

now that

1:26:02

Capcom

1:26:03

was owned

1:26:03

by

1:26:04

Kamal

1:26:04

Adam

1:26:04

who was

1:26:05

the

1:26:05

head

1:26:07

of

1:26:07

he was

1:26:08

the chief

1:26:08

spy for

1:26:09

Saudi Arabia

1:26:09

so he

1:26:11

was

1:26:11

so

1:26:12

Bear

1:26:12

Stearns

1:26:14

the New York

1:26:15

Times

1:26:15

reports based on

1:26:16

a dozen of

1:26:17

these

1:26:17

insider

1:26:18

testimonies

1:26:21

they got

1:26:21

like three

1:26:22

of Epstein's

1:26:23

bosses

1:26:23

on the record

1:26:24

to talk about

1:26:25

what he was

1:26:25

doing there

1:26:26

amazingly

1:26:27

the New York

1:26:28

Times does not

1:26:28

mention a

1:26:29

single deal

1:26:29

name

1:26:29

in the

1:26:31

entire

1:26:31

20,000

1:26:32

word report

1:26:33

why do you

1:26:33

think that

1:26:34

is

1:26:34

it might

1:26:40

not be

1:26:40

news fit

1:26:40

to print

1:26:41

also

1:26:43

they just

1:26:43

I can be

1:26:45

charitable

1:26:45

and say

1:26:45

they

1:26:46

might

1:26:47

they just

1:26:48

might not

1:26:48

know

1:26:48

they might

1:26:49

think that

1:26:50

you know

1:26:50

I don't

1:26:52

think that

1:26:52

the New York

1:26:53

Times

1:26:53

has

1:26:54

a pinky

1:26:55

of the

1:26:55

specialization

1:26:56

in Jeffrey

1:26:57

Epstein

1:26:57

cinematic

1:26:58

universe

1:26:59

knowledge

1:27:00

that

1:27:01

your

1:27:02

random

1:27:02

anonymous

1:27:03

egg

1:27:04

account

1:27:04

on X

1:27:05

has

1:27:06

so they

1:27:06

might not

1:27:07

know

1:27:07

about

1:27:08

Bear

1:27:09

Stearns

1:27:10

doing

1:27:11

BCCI

1:27:11

transactions

1:27:12

they might

1:27:12

not know

1:27:13

what

1:27:14

you know

1:27:15

if you don't

1:27:16

know the

1:27:16

material you

1:27:17

don't necessarily

1:27:17

know what

1:27:17

to ask

1:27:18

that's me

1:27:18

being

1:27:18

charitable

1:27:19

also

1:27:21

that you

1:27:23

know some

1:27:23

of the

1:27:23

witnesses

1:27:23

may have

1:27:24

said

1:27:25

that they

1:27:25

don't want

1:27:26

to talk

1:27:26

about

1:27:26

specific

1:27:27

deal

1:27:27

names

1:27:27

because

1:27:28

that

1:27:28

would

1:27:28

tarnish

1:27:29

you know

1:27:31

the folks

1:27:31

involved in

1:27:32

that deal

1:27:32

for association

1:27:33

with Jeffrey

1:27:33

Epstein

1:27:34

there could

1:27:34

be a lot

1:27:34

of reasons

1:27:35

I'm trying

1:27:36

to be

1:27:36

charitable

1:27:36

here

1:27:37

but

1:27:37

but the

1:27:38

fact is

1:27:39

is

1:27:39

they all

1:27:40

said

1:27:40

Jeffrey

1:27:41

Epstein

1:27:41

moved up

1:27:41

so fast

1:27:42

because he

1:27:42

was dating

1:27:42

the boss's

1:27:43

daughter

1:27:43

and he

1:27:43

was put

1:27:44

on the

1:27:44

biggest

1:27:45

and most

1:27:45

lucrative

1:27:45

deals

1:27:46

very quickly

1:27:47

within the

1:27:47

firm

1:27:47

and

1:27:50

given

1:27:52

the

1:27:52

incredible

1:27:53

volume

1:27:54

that

1:27:54

Bear

1:27:54

Stearns

1:27:54

appears

1:27:55

to have

1:27:56

been

1:27:56

moving

1:27:56

through

1:27:56

BCCI

1:27:57

and

1:27:58

BCCI

1:28:00

being

1:28:01

you know

1:28:01

the hottest

1:28:02

ticket in

1:28:02

town then

1:28:03

in the

1:28:03

late 1970s

1:28:04

it was

1:28:04

literally

1:28:05

the main

1:28:05

vehicle

1:28:06

for the

1:28:06

U.S.

1:28:06

government

1:28:07

to covertly

1:28:08

launder

1:28:09

funds

1:28:09

Capcom

1:28:12

according to

1:28:13

the Senate

1:28:14

intelligence report

1:28:15

and

1:28:15

the

1:28:16

Justice

1:28:16

Department

1:28:17

investigations

1:28:17

was the

1:28:18

main

1:28:18

vehicle

1:28:19

for

1:28:19

funding

1:28:19

the

1:28:20

Mujahideen

1:28:20

50%

1:28:22

of those

1:28:23

trades

1:28:23

and they

1:28:24

laundered it

1:28:24

illegally

1:28:25

which

1:28:25

requires

1:28:26

a

1:28:28

brokerage

1:28:30

you know

1:28:30

a clearinghouse

1:28:31

to prove it

1:28:32

you know

1:28:32

the way

1:28:33

this is set

1:28:33

up is

1:28:34

you have

1:28:34

a bank

1:28:34

you've

1:28:36

got a

1:28:36

money

1:28:37

launder

1:28:37

and you've

1:28:37

got a

1:28:38

clearinghouse

1:28:38

the bank

1:28:39

was the

1:28:39

CIA

1:28:39

bank

1:28:40

BCCI

1:28:40

the money

1:28:42

launder

1:28:42

was

1:28:42

the CIA's

1:28:44

literal

1:28:45

direct

1:28:46

partner

1:28:46

in this

1:28:47

the Saudis

1:28:48

Capcom

1:28:50

was run

1:28:50

by the

1:28:51

chief

1:28:52

Saudi

1:28:52

spymaster

1:28:53

and then

1:28:54

in 1982

1:28:55

Jeffrey Epstein

1:28:56

obtained

1:28:56

a fake

1:28:57

Saudi

1:28:58

passport

1:28:58

sorry

1:29:00

it was a

1:29:00

fake

1:29:00

Austrian

1:29:00

passport

1:29:01

because

1:29:01

that was

1:29:01

a big

1:29:02

loophole

1:29:03

passport

1:29:03

during the

1:29:04

Cold War

1:29:04

for spies

1:29:05

but said

1:29:06

his residence

1:29:06

was Saudi

1:29:07

Arabia

1:29:07

we didn't

1:29:07

find this

1:29:08

out until

1:29:08

2019

1:29:09

when his

1:29:09

safe

1:29:10

was raided

1:29:10

but that

1:29:11

exact

1:29:11

time

1:29:12

Jeffrey

1:29:12

Epstein

1:29:12

has this

1:29:13

fake

1:29:13

Saudi

1:29:14

passport

1:29:14

and

1:29:16

it's

1:29:17

being done

1:29:19

to support

1:29:19

the CIA

1:29:20

backed

1:29:21

rebel group

1:29:22

the Mujahideen

1:29:23

in Afghanistan

1:29:24

but that

1:29:26

requires

1:29:26

a clearinghouse

1:29:27

to clear

1:29:28

those

1:29:29

money laundering

1:29:30

trades

1:29:30

they were

1:29:30

using these

1:29:31

mirrored

1:29:31

commodities

1:29:32

trades

1:29:33

which is

1:29:33

this

1:29:34

technique

1:29:34

of basically

1:29:35

selling to

1:29:37

yourself

1:29:38

to make

1:29:39

money look

1:29:39

clean

1:29:40

so that

1:29:40

it looks

1:29:40

like

1:29:41

you know

1:29:42

profit

1:29:43

and

1:29:43

it looks

1:29:44

like

1:29:44

you

1:29:45

won

1:29:46

or

1:29:46

lost

1:29:47

it

1:29:47

in a

1:29:48

market

1:29:48

trade

1:29:48

rather

1:29:49

than

1:29:49

through

1:29:49

drug

1:29:49

money

1:29:50

and

1:29:52

then

1:29:52

they

1:29:52

were

1:29:52

then

1:29:53

sending

1:29:53

that

1:29:54

on

1:29:54

you know

1:29:55

to

1:29:55

Mujahideen

1:29:56

but the

1:29:57

fact is

1:29:57

at the

1:29:57

same time

1:29:58

that that

1:29:58

was

1:29:58

happening

1:29:59

Anand

1:30:00

Khashoggi

1:30:01

who would

1:30:01

become

1:30:02

Jeffrey Epstein's

1:30:03

client in

1:30:04

the 1980s

1:30:04

when he went

1:30:05

on his own

1:30:05

was

1:30:06

was the

1:30:06

one

1:30:07

facilitating

1:30:08

the

1:30:09

weapons

1:30:10

you have

1:30:11

this

1:30:11

drugs

1:30:12

for

1:30:12

cash

1:30:12

for

1:30:13

guns

1:30:13

the

1:30:14

person

1:30:15

so the

1:30:16

so the

1:30:16

bank

1:30:17

that's

1:30:18

moving

1:30:18

the

1:30:19

that's

1:30:19

turning

1:30:19

the drugs

1:30:20

into

1:30:20

clean

1:30:20

cash

1:30:21

that

1:30:22

the head

1:30:23

of the

1:30:24

you know

1:30:24

Saudi

1:30:24

spymaster

1:30:26

is running

1:30:26

that part

1:30:27

of the

1:30:28

you know

1:30:28

banking

1:30:29

side

1:30:29

and then

1:30:31

you've got

1:30:31

the Saudi

1:30:31

arms dealer

1:30:32

who is

1:30:34

moving it

1:30:35

illegally

1:30:36

into

1:30:37

Iran

1:30:37

working

1:30:39

hand in

1:30:40

glove

1:30:40

with the

1:30:40

CIA

1:30:40

and the

1:30:41

National

1:30:41

Security

1:30:41

Council

1:30:42

the whole

1:30:42

time

1:30:42

you have

1:30:43

a

1:30:43

you have

1:30:45

a

1:30:45

illegal

1:30:46

financial

1:30:48

enterprise

1:30:48

protected

1:30:49

at the

1:30:49

highest

1:30:50

level

1:30:50

by the

1:30:51

United

1:30:51

States

1:30:51

government

1:30:52

the

1:30:52

US

1:30:53

intelligence

1:30:53

services

1:30:54

and by

1:30:55

proxy

1:30:55

the

1:30:55

Justice

1:30:55

Department

1:30:56

itself

1:30:56

can you

1:30:57

imagine

1:30:57

the

1:30:57

Justice

1:30:58

Department

1:30:58

prosecuting

1:30:59

it

1:30:59

while

1:31:00

that

1:31:00

operation

1:31:00

was

1:31:00

ongoing

1:31:01

any

1:31:03

defendant

1:31:03

you know

1:31:04

here's

1:31:04

you asked

1:31:05

what are

1:31:05

the great

1:31:06

reveals

1:31:07

in the

1:31:09

JFK

1:31:09

files

1:31:09

and

1:31:10

I'd be

1:31:12

remiss if I

1:31:12

didn't bring

1:31:13

up the

1:31:14

case of

1:31:15

Rolando

1:31:15

Masfer

1:31:16

there's an

1:31:17

incredible

1:31:17

document

1:31:18

in the

1:31:19

JFK

1:31:19

files

1:31:19

that

1:31:20

Tulsi

1:31:20

Gabbard

1:31:21

released

1:31:21

last year

1:31:21

which is

1:31:22

a CIA

1:31:23

document

1:31:23

that

1:31:24

describes

1:31:24

I think

1:31:25

the quote

1:31:25

is

1:31:25

massive

1:31:25

damage

1:31:26

if

1:31:27

the

1:31:28

Justice

1:31:30

Department

1:31:30

pursues

1:31:31

a

1:31:31

criminal

1:31:31

case

1:31:32

against

1:31:33

a

1:31:33

guy

1:31:33

named

1:31:33

Rolando

1:31:33

Masfer

1:31:34

if you

1:31:35

just type

1:31:35

in

1:31:35

Rolando

1:31:36

Masfer

1:31:36

JFK

1:31:37

files

1:31:37

2025

1:31:37

release

1:31:38

or like

1:31:40

massive

1:31:40

damage

1:31:40

or something

1:31:41

like that

1:31:41

you'll

1:31:41

you'll

1:31:42

see

1:31:42

this

1:31:42

it's

1:31:43

an

1:31:43

unbelievably

1:31:44

incredible

1:31:44

document

1:31:45

what it

1:31:45

documents

1:31:46

is that

1:31:46

there was

1:31:48

a dispute

1:31:48

between the

1:31:49

CIA and

1:31:49

the State

1:31:50

Department

1:31:50

the State

1:31:50

Department

1:31:51

sets

1:31:51

foreign

1:31:51

policy

1:31:51

the CIA

1:31:52

is not

1:31:53

is supposed

1:31:53

to serve

1:31:54

covertly

1:31:55

the State

1:31:57

Department

1:31:58

the CIA

1:31:59

is the

1:31:59

junior

1:31:59

seat at

1:32:00

the table

1:32:00

nobody

1:32:01

ever goes

1:32:01

from being

1:32:02

head of the

1:32:04

State Department

1:32:04

to head of the

1:32:05

CIA

1:32:05

that's a

1:32:05

that's a

1:32:06

demotion

1:32:06

the CIA

1:32:08

is supposed

1:32:09

to be

1:32:09

kind of

1:32:09

the

1:32:10

I use

1:32:11

like the

1:32:12

Sopranos

1:32:14

reference

1:32:14

silvio

1:32:16

and

1:32:17

you know

1:32:18

shakes

1:32:18

down

1:32:19

the

1:32:19

hairdresser

1:32:21

shop

1:32:22

or whatever

1:32:22

for the

1:32:22

money

1:32:23

it owes

1:32:23

the

1:32:23

family

1:32:24

if

1:32:24

you are

1:32:25

that

1:32:25

hairdresser

1:32:26

it's

1:32:26

easy to

1:32:26

think

1:32:26

that

1:32:27

silvio

1:32:27

runs

1:32:28

the

1:32:28

mafia

1:32:28

because

1:32:29

he's

1:32:29

the one

1:32:29

who shows

1:32:29

up at

1:32:30

your house

1:32:30

breaks

1:32:30

your

1:32:31

windows

1:32:31

breaks

1:32:31

your

1:32:31

knuckles

1:32:32

and takes

1:32:33

your money

1:32:33

but

1:32:34

silvio

1:32:37

is not

1:32:37

doing that

1:32:37

because he

1:32:38

runs it

1:32:39

he's

1:32:39

doing it

1:32:40

because the

1:32:41

person setting

1:32:42

the policy

1:32:42

of the

1:32:43

enterprise

1:32:44

Tony

1:32:45

is the

1:32:46

boss of it

1:32:47

the way

1:32:48

it's supposed

1:32:48

to work

1:32:48

is the

1:32:49

State Department

1:32:49

sets policy

1:32:50

and the

1:32:51

CIA

1:32:51

does

1:32:52

or

1:32:52

organizes

1:32:53

the

1:32:54

plausibly

1:32:54

deniable

1:32:55

dirty work

1:32:55

to achieve

1:32:56

it

1:32:56

if that

1:32:56

is

1:32:57

necessary

1:32:57

to achieve

1:32:58

that

1:32:58

foreign

1:32:58

policy

1:32:59

this

1:33:00

is why

1:33:00

there was

1:33:00

a lot

1:33:00

of debate

1:33:01

in 1948

1:33:01

about whether

1:33:03

the CIA

1:33:03

should even

1:33:03

take on

1:33:04

this role

1:33:04

this is

1:33:05

this great

1:33:05

1948

1:33:06

George Kennan

1:33:07

memo

1:33:07

that says

1:33:08

maybe we

1:33:08

should

1:33:09

have an

1:33:10

office

1:33:10

within the

1:33:11

State Department

1:33:11

called the

1:33:12

Bureau of

1:33:14

Organized

1:33:14

Political

1:33:15

Warfare

1:33:15

and then

1:33:16

two months

1:33:17

later

1:33:17

they decided

1:33:17

the CIA

1:33:18

would

1:33:18

take that

1:33:20

but

1:33:21

the fact

1:33:21

is

1:33:21

it's

1:33:22

basically

1:33:22

a State

1:33:22

Department

1:33:23

function

1:33:23

but

1:33:23

CIA

1:33:24

is

1:33:24

supposed

1:33:24

to

1:33:24

defer

1:33:25

to

1:33:25

state

1:33:25

but

1:33:26

what

1:33:26

happened

1:33:26

was

1:33:27

is

1:33:27

there

1:33:28

was

1:33:28

a

1:33:28

factional

1:33:29

dispute

1:33:29

between

1:33:29

state

1:33:30

and

1:33:30

CIA

1:33:30

over

1:33:31

Cuba

1:33:32

policy

1:33:32

the

1:33:34

State

1:33:35

Department

1:33:36

wanted

1:33:37

thought

1:33:37

that

1:33:38

the

1:33:38

CIA

1:33:39

backed

1:33:39

rebel

1:33:39

groups

1:33:40

in

1:33:40

Miami

1:33:40

were

1:33:40

being

1:33:40

too

1:33:40

aggressive

1:33:41

and

1:33:42

too

1:33:43

provocative

1:33:45

too

1:33:46

hot-headed

1:33:47

you know

1:33:48

doing

1:33:48

acts of

1:33:48

terrorism

1:33:49

and sorts

1:33:49

of things

1:33:50

that

1:33:50

looked

1:33:50

bad

1:33:51

to

1:33:51

the

1:33:51

international

1:33:51

community

1:33:52

JFK

1:33:52

was

1:33:53

trying

1:33:53

to

1:33:53

rein

1:33:54

them

1:33:54

in

1:33:54

but

1:33:55

the

1:33:55

CIA

1:33:55

the

1:33:56

careers

1:33:56

and

1:33:56

folks

1:33:57

there

1:33:57

wanted

1:33:57

to

1:33:58

take

1:33:58

a

1:33:58

more

1:33:58

aggressive

1:33:58

posture

1:33:59

and

1:34:00

so

1:34:00

one

1:34:00

of

1:34:00

the

1:34:00

CIA's

1:34:01

key

1:34:01

assets

1:34:03

and ring

1:34:04

leaders

1:34:04

had a

1:34:05

logistics

1:34:05

hub

1:34:06

with a

1:34:06

massive

1:34:06

CIA-backed

1:34:08

Cuban

1:34:08

exile

1:34:09

community

1:34:09

network

1:34:09

at that

1:34:10

time in

1:34:10

the early

1:34:11

1960s

1:34:11

in Miami

1:34:12

wanted

1:34:14

wanted

1:34:14

thought that

1:34:14

JFK

1:34:15

was being

1:34:15

too

1:34:16

impatient

1:34:16

too

1:34:17

cautious

1:34:17

they

1:34:18

wanted

1:34:19

to

1:34:19

invade

1:34:20

basically

1:34:21

a section

1:34:21

of

1:34:21

Haiti

1:34:22

departing

1:34:24

from

1:34:24

Miami

1:34:25

to

1:34:25

use

1:34:26

that

1:34:26

as

1:34:27

a

1:34:27

base

1:34:27

to

1:34:28

then

1:34:28

do

1:34:29

kinetic

1:34:29

attacks

1:34:29

against

1:34:30

Cuba

1:34:30

the

1:34:31

state

1:34:31

department

1:34:32

learned

1:34:32

that

1:34:33

this

1:34:33

CIA-backed

1:34:34

network

1:34:34

led

1:34:35

by

1:34:35

Orlando

1:34:35

Massford

1:34:36

was going

1:34:36

to do

1:34:37

this

1:34:37

and

1:34:38

stopped

1:34:39

it

1:34:39

where

1:34:39

they

1:34:40

had

1:34:40

a

1:34:40

customs

1:34:40

and

1:34:40

border

1:34:41

agent

1:34:41

basically

1:34:42

who

1:34:42

was

1:34:42

like

1:34:42

manning

1:34:42

the

1:34:43

docks

1:34:43

and

1:34:43

caught

1:34:43

them

1:34:44

as

1:34:44

like

1:34:44

300

1:34:45

of

1:34:45

them

1:34:45

were

1:34:46

departing

1:34:47

to try

1:34:47

to

1:34:47

take

1:34:47

over

1:34:48

a part

1:34:48

of

1:34:48

of

1:34:49

Haiti

1:34:49

to do

1:34:49

this

1:34:49

and

1:34:50

then

1:34:50

the

1:34:50

state

1:34:51

department

1:34:51

directed

1:34:52

the

1:34:52

justice

1:34:52

department

1:34:53

to

1:34:53

pursue

1:34:53

criminal

1:34:54

charges

1:34:54

against

1:34:54

Orlando

1:34:55

Massford

1:34:55

in

1:34:57

steps

1:34:58

the

1:34:58

CIA

1:34:58

and

1:35:00

you

1:35:00

know

1:35:00

if

1:35:00

you

1:35:00

can

1:35:01

find

1:35:01

this

1:35:02

memo

1:35:02

you

1:35:04

know

1:35:04

it's

1:35:04

M-A-S

1:35:05

you know

1:35:07

for

1:35:07

I think

1:35:08

it's

1:35:08

F-E-R-R-U-R

1:35:10

Orlando

1:35:10

Massford

1:35:11

it's

1:35:13

if

1:35:17

you

1:35:18

if

1:35:18

the

1:35:19

the

1:35:19

title

1:35:19

of it

1:35:20

is

1:35:20

is

1:35:21

like

1:35:21

massive

1:35:21

damage

1:35:22

that would

1:35:23

that would

1:35:23

accrue

1:35:23

you can

1:35:25

probably also

1:35:26

just find

1:35:26

massive

1:35:27

damage

1:35:29

there

1:35:33

we go

1:35:33

estimate

1:35:33

of

1:35:33

damage

1:35:34

which

1:35:34

could

1:35:34

accrue

1:35:35

to

1:35:35

CIA

1:35:35

Miami

1:35:36

through

1:35:36

prosecution

1:35:37

of the

1:35:37

Orlando

1:35:38

Massford

1:35:38

Haitian

1:35:39

invasion

1:35:39

group

1:35:40

again

1:35:40

we

1:35:40

just

1:35:41

learned

1:35:41

the

1:35:41

existence

1:35:42

of

1:35:42

this

1:35:42

document

1:35:42

last

1:35:43

year

1:35:43

this

1:35:43

is

1:35:44

from

1:35:44

the

1:35:45

1960s

1:35:46

now

1:35:47

it

1:35:47

says

1:35:47

the

1:35:47

decision

1:35:48

by the

1:35:48

justice

1:35:48

department

1:35:49

to

1:35:49

seek

1:35:49

a

1:35:49

grand

1:35:49

jury

1:35:49

indictment

1:35:50

against

1:35:50

Orlando

1:35:50

Massford

1:35:51

and

1:35:51

certain

1:35:51

of

1:35:51

his

1:35:51

associates

1:35:52

is

1:35:52

a

1:35:52

potentially

1:35:53

explosive

1:35:54

matter

1:35:55

which

1:35:55

could

1:35:55

result

1:35:56

in

1:35:56

extensive

1:35:57

damage

1:35:57

to CIA

1:35:58

activities

1:35:59

recent

1:36:00

adverse

1:36:00

publicity

1:36:01

on the

1:36:01

national

1:36:02

scene

1:36:02

and in

1:36:02

the

1:36:02

Miami

1:36:03

area

1:36:03

have

1:36:03

added

1:36:04

substantially

1:36:04

to the

1:36:05

already

1:36:05

sizable

1:36:05

embarrassment

1:36:06

potential

1:36:07

can you

1:36:07

imagine

1:36:08

what these

1:36:08

memos look

1:36:08

like for

1:36:08

Jeffrey

1:36:09

Epstein

1:36:09

some of

1:36:10

the main

1:36:10

sectors

1:36:11

of danger

1:36:11

to CIA

1:36:12

equities

1:36:12

are described

1:36:13

below

1:36:13

basic

1:36:14

national

1:36:14

publicity

1:36:15

regarding

1:36:15

student

1:36:16

and

1:36:16

foundation

1:36:16

topics

1:36:17

have

1:36:17

already

1:36:17

attracted

1:36:18

attention

1:36:19

of the

1:36:19

local

1:36:19

press

1:36:20

to the

1:36:20

CIA

1:36:20

in

1:36:21

general

1:36:21

usually

1:36:22

any

1:36:22

reference

1:36:22

to CIA

1:36:22

covert

1:36:23

activities

1:36:23

leads

1:36:23

press

1:36:24

to check

1:36:25

files

1:36:25

for

1:36:25

references

1:36:25

of any

1:36:26

such

1:36:26

activities

1:36:27

locally

1:36:27

however

1:36:28

before

1:36:28

this

1:36:28

action

1:36:28

can be

1:36:29

taken

1:36:29

the

1:36:29

story

1:36:30

regarding

1:36:30

and then

1:36:31

he goes

1:36:31

over

1:36:31

the

1:36:31

Pan Am

1:36:32

Foundation

1:36:33

the

1:36:33

University

1:36:33

of

1:36:34

Miami

1:36:34

which

1:36:34

was

1:36:35

what

1:36:35

hosted

1:36:36

JM

1:36:36

Wave

1:36:36

the

1:36:36

University

1:36:37

of

1:36:37

Miami

1:36:38

then

1:36:39

the

1:36:39

CIA's

1:36:40

largest

1:36:40

station

1:36:40

house

1:36:41

in the

1:36:41

world

1:36:41

it was

1:36:41

called

1:36:41

JM

1:36:42

Wave

1:36:42

was

1:36:43

hosted

1:36:43

in a

1:36:44

facility

1:36:44

off of

1:36:44

the

1:36:45

University

1:36:45

of

1:36:45

Miami

1:36:46

campus

1:36:46

again

1:36:48

the

1:36:48

biggest

1:36:49

CIA

1:36:49

station

1:36:49

house

1:36:49

in the

1:36:50

entire

1:36:50

world

1:36:50

the

1:36:51

CIA

1:36:51

so

1:36:52

it

1:36:52

goes

1:36:52

on

1:36:52

to

1:36:52

say

1:36:56

the

1:36:57

top

1:36:57

paragraph

1:36:57

is

1:36:57

saying

1:36:58

we're

1:36:58

under

1:36:58

a lot

1:36:59

of

1:36:59

pressure

1:36:59

Justice

1:37:00

Department

1:37:00

the

1:37:01

public

1:37:02

is

1:37:02

already

1:37:02

losing

1:37:03

support

1:37:03

for

1:37:03

the

1:37:03

CIA

1:37:04

because

1:37:04

of

1:37:04

all

1:37:04

these

1:37:04

other

1:37:05

disclosures

1:37:05

and

1:37:06

it

1:37:07

will

1:37:07

be

1:37:07

disastrous

1:37:08

if

1:37:08

you

1:37:09

pursue

1:37:10

the

1:37:10

prosecution

1:37:10

of

1:37:11

him

1:37:11

because

1:37:11

Rolando

1:37:12

Masser

1:37:13

is going

1:37:13

to

1:37:13

squeal

1:37:13

so

1:37:13

I

1:37:13

think

1:37:14

if

1:37:14

you

1:37:14

go

1:37:14

down

1:37:14

to

1:37:14

the

1:37:14

next

1:37:14

page

1:37:15

he

1:37:16

says

1:37:16

as

1:37:18

has

1:37:18

been

1:37:18

the

1:37:18

case

1:37:18

for

1:37:18

the

1:37:18

past

1:37:19

six

1:37:19

years

1:37:19

and

1:37:19

he

1:37:19

says

1:37:20

basically

1:37:20

the

1:37:21

CIA

1:37:21

has

1:37:21

been

1:37:21

working

1:37:22

with

1:37:22

the

1:37:23

head

1:37:23

of

1:37:24

the

1:37:24

president

1:37:24

and

1:37:24

treasurer

1:37:25

of

1:37:25

the

1:37:25

University

1:37:26

of

1:37:26

Miami

1:37:26

they're

1:37:27

extending

1:37:28

the

1:37:28

cooperation

1:37:30

and all

1:37:31

this

1:37:31

so

1:37:31

basically

1:37:32

all

1:37:32

these

1:37:32

touch

1:37:33

points

1:37:33

that

1:37:33

Rolando

1:37:34

Masser's

1:37:34

network

1:37:34

connects

1:37:35

to

1:37:35

will

1:37:35

be

1:37:36

exposed

1:37:36

and

1:37:36

they

1:37:37

go

1:37:37

over

1:37:37

all

1:37:37

these

1:37:38

what

1:37:38

were

1:37:38

previously

1:37:39

redacted

1:37:39

CIA

1:37:40

cutouts

1:37:41

in the

1:37:41

area

1:37:41

and

1:37:42

then

1:37:42

the

memo

1:37:43

says

1:37:43

even

1:37:44

if

1:37:44

the

1:37:44

above

1:37:44

circumstances

1:37:44

do not

1:37:45

exist

1:37:45

we

1:37:48

would

1:37:48

remain

1:37:48

concerned

1:37:49

regarding

1:37:49

the

1:37:49

possible

1:37:49

effects

1:37:49

of

1:37:50

the

prosecution

1:37:50

of

1:37:50

the

Masser

1:37:51

although

1:37:52

no

1:37:53

or

1:37:53

persons

whom

1:37:53

the

has

among

the

or

1:37:58

those

1:37:58

who

1:37:58

will

1:37:58

be

1:37:58

prosecuted

1:37:59

it

1:37:59

will

1:37:59

be

1:38:00

very

1:38:00

easy

1:38:00

for

1:38:01

the

1:38:01

defense

1:38:01

to

1:38:01

drag

1:38:02

CIA

1:38:02

Miami

1:38:03

into

1:38:03

the

1:38:03

case

1:38:04

the

1:38:04

defense

1:38:05

has

1:38:05

only

1:38:05

to

1:38:05

obtain

1:38:06

testimony

1:38:06

true

1:38:07

or

1:38:07

perjured

1:38:08

they

1:38:09

can

1:38:09

seem

1:38:09

be

1:38:09

true

1:38:10

from

1:38:10

one

1:38:11

of

1:38:11

the

1:38:11

defendants

1:38:11

or

1:38:11

summon

1:38:12

as

1:38:12

defense

1:38:12

witnesses

1:38:13

one

1:38:14

or

1:38:14

more

1:38:14

disaffected

1:38:15

former

1:38:15

agents

1:38:16

of

1:38:16

the

1:38:16

CIA

1:38:16

station

1:38:16

in

1:38:17

order

1:38:17

to

1:38:17

begin

1:38:17

a

1:38:18

chain

1:38:18

reaction

1:38:19

surfacing

1:38:20

such

1:38:21

detail

1:38:21

and rumor

1:38:22

concerning

1:38:23

CIA

1:38:23

operations

1:38:24

against

1:38:24

the

1:38:24

Cuban

1:38:25

target

1:38:25

given

1:38:26

the

1:38:26

sizable

1:38:26

reduction

1:38:27

of

1:38:27

infiltration

1:38:28

and

1:38:28

a general

1:38:29

feeling

1:38:30

of frustration

1:38:30

and lack

1:38:30

of support

1:38:31

for Cuban

1:38:31

freedom

1:38:32

attributed

1:38:32

to passive

1:38:33

U.S.

1:38:33

policy

1:38:33

basically

1:38:35

saying

1:38:35

it would

1:38:36

undermine

1:38:37

our

1:38:37

you know

1:38:38

entire

1:38:39

operation

1:38:40

against

1:38:40

Cuba

1:38:40

and

1:38:41

the

1:38:41

American

1:38:41

people

1:38:41

support

1:38:42

for

1:38:42

it

1:38:42

if

1:38:43

the

1:38:43

Justice

1:38:43

Department

1:38:44

indicts

1:38:45

these

1:38:45

people

1:38:45

who

1:38:45

just

1:38:46

committed

1:38:46

this

1:38:46

crime

1:38:46

because

1:38:47

they

1:38:47

can

1:38:48

very

1:38:48

the

1:38:48

whole

1:38:49

network

1:38:50

is

1:38:50

CIA

1:38:50

and

1:38:50

they

1:38:50

can

1:38:50

just

1:38:51

call

1:38:51

to

1:38:51

the

1:38:51

stand

1:38:52

that

1:38:53

their

1:38:54

friends

1:38:56

and

1:38:56

associates

1:38:56

had

1:38:57

been

1:38:57

talking

1:38:57

with

1:38:58

the

1:38:58

CIA

1:38:58

about

1:38:58

this

1:38:58

well

1:38:59

before

1:38:59

they

1:38:59

had

1:38:59

done

1:38:59

it

1:38:59

and

1:38:59

that

1:39:00

would

1:39:00

be

1:39:00

a

1:39:00

massive

1:39:00

scandal

1:39:01

now

1:39:02

that's

1:39:02

just

1:39:03

one

1:39:03

example

1:39:03

here

1:39:03

what

1:39:04

goes

1:39:04

on

1:39:04

to

1:39:04

happen

1:39:05

is

1:39:05

there's

1:39:05

a

1:39:05

negotiation

1:39:06

between

1:39:06

the

1:39:07

State

1:39:07

Department

1:39:07

CIA

1:39:07

about

1:39:09

whether

1:39:09

to

1:39:10

bring

1:39:10

the

1:39:10

case

1:39:10

how

1:39:11

to

1:39:11

bring

1:39:11

the

1:39:11

case

1:39:12

how

1:39:12

to

1:39:12

shape

1:39:13

there's

1:39:13

a

1:39:13

follow-up

1:39:13

memo

1:39:13

on this

1:39:14

which

1:39:14

is

1:39:14

totally

1:39:14

incredible

1:39:15

that

1:39:15

I

1:39:16

think

1:39:16

is

1:39:16

more

1:39:16

the

1:39:16

logistics

1:39:17

on

1:39:17

this

1:39:17

the

1:39:18

agreement

1:39:18

they

1:39:18

reach

1:39:19

is

1:39:20

that

1:39:20

the

1:39:21

State

1:39:21

Department

1:39:21

wins

1:39:22

nominally

1:39:22

they

1:39:23

do

1:39:23

bring

1:39:23

the

1:39:24

prosecution

1:39:24

but

1:39:25

they

1:39:25

bring

1:39:25

it

1:39:25

in

1:39:26

a

1:39:26

highly

1:39:26

limited

1:39:27

and

1:39:27

tepid

1:39:27

way

1:39:28

and

1:39:28

they

1:39:29

agree

1:39:29

to

1:39:29

the

1:39:29

CIA's

1:39:30

demands

1:39:30

to

1:39:30

limit

1:39:31

lines

1:39:31

of

1:39:31

inquiry

1:39:32

to

1:39:33

to

1:39:34

file

1:39:36

motions

1:39:37

against

1:39:38

entering

1:39:39

anything

1:39:39

into

1:39:39

discovery

1:39:40

that

1:39:40

might

1:39:41

basically

1:39:43

reveal

1:39:44

the CIA

1:39:44

networks

1:39:45

in

1:39:45

this

1:39:46

and

1:39:47

they

1:39:47

agree

1:39:47

to

1:39:47

have

1:39:48

CIA

1:39:49

general

1:39:49

counsel

1:39:50

person

1:39:50

on

1:39:51

the

1:39:51

prosecution

1:39:51

team

1:39:52

in

1:39:53

order

1:39:53

to

1:39:53

personally

1:39:54

make

1:39:54

sure

1:39:54

that

1:39:55

the

1:39:55

Justice

1:39:56

Department

1:39:56

stays

1:39:57

in

1:39:57

line

1:39:58

and

1:39:58

if

1:39:59

something

1:39:59

looks

1:39:59

like

1:39:59

if

1:40:00

the

1:40:00

judge

1:40:00

grants

1:40:01

discovery

1:40:01

for

1:40:01

something

1:40:02

that

1:40:02

might

1:40:02

reveal

1:40:02

the

1:40:03

CIA's

1:40:03

role

1:40:03

in

1:40:03

it

1:40:03

drop

1:40:05

that

1:40:05

line

1:40:06

of

1:40:06

prosecution

1:40:07

so

1:40:07

that

1:40:07

it

1:40:07

can't

1:40:08

be

1:40:08

entered

1:40:08

into

1:40:09

evidence

1:40:09

and

1:40:10

this

1:40:11

is

1:40:11

what

1:40:13

you

1:40:13

see

1:40:13

time

1:40:14

and

1:40:14

again

1:40:14

is

1:40:15

how

1:40:18

these

1:40:18

networks

1:40:18

get

1:40:19

protected

1:40:19

whether

1:40:19

it's

1:40:20

drug

1:40:20

cases

1:40:20

whether

1:40:21

it's

1:40:22

foreign

1:40:23

policy

1:40:23

scandal

1:40:23

cases

1:40:24

whether

1:40:24

it's

1:40:24

money

1:40:25

laundering

1:40:25

cases

1:40:25

I believe

1:40:26

in the

1:40:27

Mark

1:40:27

Rich

1:40:27

case

1:40:27

part

1:40:28

of

1:40:28

I

1:40:28

think

1:40:28

his

1:40:29

lawyer

1:40:29

cited

1:40:31

at

1:40:31

one

1:40:32

point

1:40:32

or

1:40:33

maybe

1:40:33

it

1:40:33

was

1:40:33

in

1:40:34

his

1:40:34

pardon

1:40:34

application

1:40:35

the

1:40:35

work

1:40:35

that

1:40:36

he

1:40:36

had

1:40:36

done

1:40:36

for

1:40:36

US

1:40:37

intelligence

1:40:37

services

1:40:38

as part

1:40:38

of

1:40:38

the

1:40:38

reason

1:40:39

that

1:40:39

he

1:40:39

should

1:40:39

be

1:40:39

granted

1:40:40

leniency

1:40:41

but

1:40:41

the

1:40:42

point

1:40:42

I'm

1:40:43

getting

1:40:43

to

1:40:43

here

1:40:43

is

1:40:43

given

1:40:44

Jeffrey

1:40:44

Epstein's

1:40:45

involvement

1:40:45

in

1:40:46

the

1:40:46

BCCI

network

1:40:47

given

1:40:48

Jeffrey's

1:40:48

involvement

1:40:49

in

1:40:49

the

1:40:49

1990s

1:40:50

with

1:40:50

all

1:40:50

the

1:40:51

foreign

1:40:51

policy

1:40:52

activities

happening

in

the

East

1:40:53

at

1:40:53

that

time

everything

1:41:50

the

1:41:50

campaigns

1:41:50

basically

1:41:51

the

1:41:51

politicians

1:41:51

there

1:41:52

the

1:41:53

prosecutors

1:41:53

answer

1:41:53

to

1:41:54

the

1:41:54

politicians

1:41:54

could

1:41:55

be

1:41:55

that

1:41:55

but

1:41:57

I

1:41:58

would

1:41:58

be

1:41:58

shocked

1:41:58

if

1:41:59

they're

1:41:59

in

1:42:00

40

1:42:00

years

1:42:01

of

1:42:01

this

1:42:01

where's

1:42:02

Waldo

1:42:03

Forrest

1:42:04

Gump

1:42:04

he's

1:42:05

always

1:42:05

in

1:42:05

the

1:42:05

room

1:42:05

in

1:42:06

40

1:42:06

years

1:42:07

of

1:42:07

American

1:42:08

foreign

1:42:08

policy

1:42:08

and

1:42:09

intelligence

1:42:09

activity

1:42:10

you know

1:42:11

money

1:42:11

sourcing

1:42:12

for

1:42:12

that

1:42:12

for

1:42:13

all

1:42:14

the

1:42:14

crimes

1:42:14

that

1:42:14

Epstein

1:42:14

committed

1:42:15

the

1:42:15

concern

1:42:16

was

1:42:16

the

1:42:16

same

1:42:16

one

1:42:17

they

1:42:17

had

1:42:17

with

1:42:17

Rolando

1:42:18

Mass

1:42:18

for

1:42:18

don't

1:42:20

bring

1:42:20

the

1:42:20

case

1:42:20

and

1:42:20

if

1:42:21

you

1:42:21

do

1:42:21

bring

1:42:21

it

1:42:21

in

1:42:21

a

1:42:21

highly

1:42:22

limited

1:42:22

way

1:42:22

and

1:42:22

that's

1:42:23

exactly

1:42:23

what

1:42:23

happened

1:42:24

in

1:42:24

2006

1:42:25

the

1:42:25

first

1:42:25

time

1:42:25

he

1:42:26

was

1:42:26

indicted

1:42:27

everybody

1:42:28

was

1:42:29

up in

1:42:30

arms

1:42:30

that it

1:42:31

was a

1:42:31

sweetheart

1:42:31

plea

1:42:32

deal

1:42:32

it

1:42:33

limited

1:42:34

it

1:42:35

gave

1:42:35

protection

1:42:35

to

1:42:36

all

1:42:36

co-conspirators

1:42:37

known

1:42:38

and unknown

1:42:38

and

1:42:40

and

1:42:40

and

1:42:41

it

1:42:41

was

1:42:41

swooped

1:42:42

in

1:42:42

quickly

1:42:43

before

1:42:43

you know

1:42:44

there

1:42:44

was

1:42:44

a

1:42:45

trial

1:42:45

in

1:42:46

full

1:42:46

so

1:42:47

that

1:42:48

lines

1:42:48

of

1:42:48

evidence

1:42:49

couldn't

1:42:49

be

1:42:49

opened

1:42:50

about

1:42:50

the

1:42:51

network

1:42:51

it's

1:42:51

just

1:42:52

crazy

1:42:52

that

1:42:52

statutory

1:42:53

rape

1:42:53

is

1:42:54

what

1:42:54

took

1:42:54

it

1:42:54

all

1:42:54

down

1:42:55

right

1:42:56

because

1:42:57

it's

1:42:57

it's

1:42:57

underaged

1:42:58

handjobs

1:42:59

right

1:42:59

that's

1:43:00

what

1:43:00

took

1:43:00

it

1:43:00

all

1:43:00

down

1:43:01

yeah

1:43:04

I mean

1:43:04

I

1:43:04

well

1:43:04

it seems

1:43:05

to be

1:43:05

what took

1:43:06

Jeffrey

1:43:06

Epstein

1:43:06

down

1:43:07

kind

1:43:07

of

1:43:07

crazy

1:43:08

even

1:43:10

that

1:43:10

is

1:43:11

has

1:43:11

a

1:43:11

really

1:43:11

interesting

1:43:12

geopolitical

1:43:12

history

1:43:12

there

1:43:13

was

1:43:13

a

1:43:13

similar

1:43:13

scandal

1:43:13

in

1:43:14

the

1:43:14

early

1:43:14

2000s

1:43:15

with

1:43:15

a

1:43:15

private

1:43:15

military

1:43:16

contractor

1:43:16

called

1:43:16

DynCorp

1:43:17

which again

1:43:18

runs

1:43:19

through

1:43:19

this

1:43:19

Adnan

1:43:20

Khashoggi

1:43:20

kind

1:43:21

of

1:43:21

Middle

1:43:22

Eastern

1:43:22

network

1:43:22

DynCorp

1:43:24

got in

1:43:24

trouble

1:43:25

for

1:43:29

trafficking

1:43:30

facilitating

1:43:32

the traffic

1:43:33

it was a

1:43:33

you know

1:43:34

major

1:43:35

US military

1:43:37

and CIA

1:43:37

contractor

1:43:38

for

1:43:39

logistics

1:43:39

and

1:43:41

you know

1:43:42

institutional

1:43:43

support

1:43:44

and

1:43:45

military

1:43:46

assistance

1:43:46

on the

1:43:48

ground

1:43:48

for the

1:43:48

US

1:43:48

military

1:43:48

all over

1:43:49

the world

1:43:49

they got

1:43:49

in

1:43:50

trouble

1:43:50

moving

1:43:53

basically

1:43:53

trafficking

1:43:54

underage

1:43:55

kids

1:43:55

to

1:43:56

Middle

1:43:57

Eastern

1:43:58

shakes

1:43:58

and I

1:43:59

believe

1:44:00

in the

1:44:01

early

1:44:01

2000s

1:44:02

and I

1:44:03

believe

1:44:03

the

1:44:03

reason

1:44:04

that was

1:44:06

alleged

1:44:06

by

1:44:07

Congress

1:44:07

that they

1:44:09

did that

1:44:09

was to

1:44:10

juice the

1:44:10

deals

1:44:10

with them

1:44:11

that basically

1:44:12

you know

1:44:12

these

1:44:12

people who

1:44:14

were critical

1:44:15

it's

1:44:16

you know

1:44:17

if you're

1:44:17

operating

1:44:18

on the

1:44:18

ground

1:44:18

in

1:44:19

Kuwait

1:44:19

or

1:44:20

you know

1:44:21

pick your

1:44:24

Middle Eastern

1:44:25

you know

1:44:25

country

1:44:26

in order

1:44:28

to

1:44:28

serve

1:44:29

your

1:44:30

purpose

1:44:30

for the

1:44:30

US

1:44:30

government

1:44:31

to be

1:44:32

this

1:44:32

outside

1:44:33

plausibly

1:44:34

deniable

1:44:35

but

1:44:35

extensively

1:44:36

infrastructured

1:44:37

professional

1:44:38

support

1:44:38

outfit

1:44:39

on the

1:44:39

ground

1:44:39

you need

1:44:40

the

1:44:40

support

1:44:40

of the

1:44:40

local

1:44:40

government

1:44:41

you need

1:44:41

the support

1:44:41

of the

1:44:42

local

1:44:42

high

1:44:42

level

1:44:42

officials

1:44:43

they need

1:44:43

to be

1:44:43

happy

1:44:44

and

1:44:45

there's

1:44:45

several

1:44:45

currencies

1:44:45

for that

1:44:46

there's

1:44:46

financial

1:44:47

payoffs

1:44:47

and

1:44:48

there's

1:44:48

other

1:44:48

things

1:44:49

they

1:44:49

might

1:44:49

like

1:44:49

like

1:44:50

parties

1:44:50

and

1:44:51

young

1:44:51

women

1:44:52

you know

1:44:53

especially

1:44:53

in places

1:44:54

where

1:44:54

you know

1:44:55

being

1:44:56

with

1:44:57

the

1:44:57

very

1:44:57

young

1:44:58

female

1:44:59

is

1:44:59

not

1:44:59

illegal

1:45:00

and

1:45:00

so

1:45:00

what

1:45:00

DineCorp

1:45:01

I believe

1:45:02

got busted

1:45:03

doing

1:45:04

and

1:45:04

you can

1:45:05

look up

1:45:05

the DineCorp

1:45:06

scandal

1:45:06

here

1:45:06

was

1:45:07

was

1:45:08

doing

1:45:08

this

1:45:08

and

1:45:09

I

1:45:09

believe

1:45:10

their

1:45:10

argument

1:45:10

was

1:45:10

well

1:45:11

you

1:45:11

wanted

1:45:11

us

1:45:12

to

1:45:12

do

1:45:12

this

1:45:12

thing

1:45:13

on

1:45:13

the

1:45:14

ground

1:45:14

you

1:45:15

wanted

1:45:15

us

1:45:15

to

1:45:15

help

1:45:16

the

1:45:16

US

1:45:16

military

1:45:17

and

1:45:18

you

1:45:18

know

1:45:18

kind

1:45:18

of

1:45:19

covert

1:45:19

support

1:45:19

nodes

1:45:20

that

1:45:20

were

1:45:20

that

1:45:20

were

1:45:20

happening

1:45:21

here

1:45:21

we

1:45:22

had

1:45:23

to

1:45:23

do

1:45:23

it

1:45:23

somehow

1:45:23

you

1:45:24

know

1:45:24

this

1:45:24

is

1:45:24

part

1:45:25

of

1:45:25

what

1:45:25

helped

1:45:25

us

1:45:26

do

1:45:27

that

1:45:27

I

1:45:28

would

1:45:29

not

1:45:29

be

1:45:29

surprised

1:45:29

if

1:45:29

the

1:45:30

Epstein

1:45:30

trafficking

1:45:32

apparatus

1:45:34

started

1:45:35

with

1:45:37

with

1:45:38

similar

1:45:39

motivations

1:45:39

not

1:45:40

you

1:45:40

know

1:45:41

that

1:45:41

it's

1:45:41

not

1:45:41

for

1:45:41

necessarily

1:45:42

for

1:45:42

blackmail

1:45:42

but

1:45:43

because

1:45:43

it

1:45:44

makes

1:45:44

clients

1:45:46

or

1:45:46

customers

1:45:47

or

1:45:47

you

1:45:48

know

1:45:48

VIP

1:45:49

people

1:45:50

happy

1:45:53

it

1:45:53

makes

1:45:53

them

1:45:54

owe

1:45:55

you

1:45:55

something

1:45:55

it

1:45:55

makes

1:45:55

them

1:45:56

want

1:45:56

to

1:45:56

get

1:45:56

involved

1:45:56

in

1:45:57

a

1:45:57

deal

1:45:57

you

1:45:57

do

1:45:57

even

1:45:58

if

1:45:58

the

1:45:58

deal

1:45:59

is

1:45:59

not

1:46:00

one

1:46:01

they

1:46:01

would

1:46:01

ordinarily

1:46:01

do

1:46:02

because

1:46:02

they

1:46:02

just

1:46:02

want

1:46:02

to

1:46:02

stay

1:46:03

close

1:46:03

to

1:46:03

you

1:46:03

because

1:46:03

you're

1:46:03

their

1:46:04

supplier

1:46:04

of

1:46:05

their

1:46:06

vice

1:46:06

of

1:46:07

the

1:46:07

thing

1:46:07

that

1:46:07

they

1:46:08

want

1:46:09

but

1:46:09

can't

1:46:09

get

1:46:09

if

1:46:10

you're

1:46:10

a

1:46:12

70

1:46:12

year

1:46:13

old

1:46:13

billionaire

1:46:14

you

1:46:14

can't

1:46:14

walk

1:46:15

into

1:46:15

a

1:46:15

bar

1:46:15

and

1:46:16

leave

1:46:16

aside

1:46:17

the

1:46:17

underage

1:46:17

thing

1:46:18

you

1:46:18

can't

1:46:18

walk

1:46:18

into

1:46:18

a

1:46:19

bar

1:46:19

and

1:46:19

meet

1:46:20

an

1:46:20

18

1:46:21

year

1:46:21

old

1:46:21

I presume

1:46:24

these

1:46:26

things

1:46:26

are

1:46:27

facilitated

1:46:28

at

1:46:28

private

1:46:29

parties

1:46:29

and

1:46:30

for a

1:46:32

lot

1:46:32

of

1:46:32

these

1:46:32

guys

1:46:32

it

1:46:32

has

1:46:32

to

1:46:33

be

1:46:33

discreet

1:46:33

you

1:46:33

know

1:46:34

they've

1:46:34

got

1:46:34

wives

1:46:34

they've

1:46:35

got

1:46:35

reputations

1:46:36

and

1:46:37

you know

1:46:38

there's an

1:46:39

aspect of

1:46:39

this

1:46:40

that plays

1:46:40

out at

1:46:41

every

1:46:41

institution

1:46:42

I worked

1:46:43

at a

1:46:43

New York

1:46:44

law firm

1:46:44

and

1:46:45

you know

1:46:45

there's

1:46:46

you know

1:46:46

there's

1:46:46

there's ways

1:46:47

that you

1:46:47

can make

1:46:48

partner

1:46:49

you know

1:46:51

at least

1:46:51

this was

1:46:52

kind of

1:46:52

the vibe

1:46:52

that

1:46:53

I felt

1:46:53

like

1:46:53

some

1:46:54

people

1:46:54

make

1:46:54

partner

1:46:55

because

1:46:55

they're

1:46:55

really

1:46:55

good

1:46:55

technically

1:46:56

what

1:46:56

they do

1:46:56

they're

1:46:57

just

1:46:57

amazing

1:46:58

they're

1:46:58

just

1:46:58

technical

1:46:59

whizzes

1:47:00

on the

1:47:00

minutia

1:47:01

of how to

1:47:01

structure

1:47:02

a merger

1:47:02

or acquisition

1:47:03

they're just

1:47:04

really great

1:47:05

at structuring

1:47:06

an offshore

1:47:07

banking transaction

1:47:08

or they're

1:47:08

really

1:47:09

they just know

1:47:09

absolutely everything

1:47:10

about tax law

1:47:10

there's some people

1:47:12

who move up

1:47:12

because of nepotism

1:47:13

you know

1:47:14

they're the

1:47:14

brother and

1:47:15

the son-in-law

1:47:16

of a major

1:47:17

partner

1:47:17

there's some

1:47:18

people who

1:47:19

make partner

1:47:20

because

1:47:20

they know

1:47:21

one

1:47:21

they brought

1:47:22

in one

1:47:23

client

1:47:23

who's just

1:47:24

a really big

1:47:24

rainmaker

1:47:25

and there's

1:47:26

some people

1:47:27

who move up

1:47:27

because

1:47:28

they open

1:47:29

doors

1:47:31

to partners

1:47:32

while they're

1:47:32

associates

1:47:33

they introduce

1:47:33

them to

1:47:34

someone

1:47:34

they host

1:47:35

events

1:47:36

they've got

1:47:37

you know

1:47:37

tickets to

1:47:38

exclusive things

1:47:38

and the partners

1:47:40

just like being

1:47:40

around that

1:47:41

person

1:47:41

because they

1:47:42

get access

1:47:42

to that

1:47:42

person

1:47:43

in a

1:47:44

currency

1:47:45

that they

1:47:45

can't get

1:47:46

on their

1:47:46

own

1:47:46

and

1:47:47

that includes

1:47:48

hosting

1:47:49

you know

1:47:50

cool

1:47:50

exotic

1:47:51

parties

1:47:51

having

1:47:52

you know

1:47:53

attractive

1:47:53

women

1:47:54

I

1:47:55

I've never

1:47:56

been convinced

1:47:57

that the

1:47:58

central role

1:47:59

of

1:48:00

the Epstein

1:48:02

young girl

1:48:03

in my view

1:48:06

sidebar

1:48:07

of the Epstein

1:48:08

money laundering

1:48:10

story

1:48:11

is

1:48:12

is that

1:48:13

it was for

1:48:14

blackmail

1:48:14

I

1:48:15

and

1:48:16

part of this

1:48:17

is because

1:48:17

the moment

1:48:18

Jeffrey Epstein

1:48:20

formally

1:48:21

officially

1:48:23

threatened

1:48:23

somebody

1:48:24

with

1:48:24

blackmail

1:48:25

and that

1:48:26

person

1:48:26

tells his

1:48:26

wife

1:48:27

and that

1:48:28

wife

1:48:28

tells her

1:48:29

friends

1:48:29

and that

1:48:30

gets out

1:48:30

to somebody

1:48:31

else

1:48:31

that knows

1:48:32

Jeffrey Epstein

1:48:33

Jeffrey Epstein's

1:48:36

access

1:48:36

goes away

1:48:38

overnight

1:48:39

that's the

1:48:39

sort of thing

1:48:40

that

1:48:40

even a rumor

1:48:42

of that

1:48:42

spreading

1:48:43

and nobody

1:48:44

else is going

1:48:45

to want to

1:48:45

do business

1:48:46

with them

1:48:46

so you think

1:48:46

people just

1:48:47

assume

1:48:48

it's blackmail

1:48:49

because that

1:48:50

is how you

1:48:51

would blackmail

1:48:51

someone

1:48:52

especially

1:48:53

underage

1:48:54

girls

1:48:54

I think

1:48:54

it is

1:48:55

very possible

1:48:56

that there

1:48:57

could have

1:48:58

been

1:48:58

indirect

1:48:59

blackmail

1:49:00

meaning

1:49:01

Epstein

1:49:02

passes it

1:49:03

on

1:49:03

to

1:49:04

an

1:49:05

intelligence

1:49:06

service

1:49:06

to

1:49:06

you know

1:49:07

to a

1:49:08

corporate

1:49:08

espionage

1:49:09

client

1:49:09

or something

1:49:10

and they

1:49:12

use that

1:49:12

for

1:49:13

their own

1:49:14

purposes

1:49:15

but even

1:49:15

then

1:49:16

I mean

1:49:18

imagine

1:49:19

for example

1:49:19

if

1:49:20

you know

1:49:21

like

1:49:22

on the

1:49:23

Bill Gates

1:49:24

thing

1:49:24

like

1:49:25

there

1:49:26

was

1:49:26

an

1:49:27

you know

1:49:27

Bill Gates

1:49:28

gets an

1:49:28

email

1:49:28

I have

1:49:29

a video

1:49:30

of you

1:49:30

sleeping

1:49:31

with this

1:49:31

person

1:49:31

and

1:49:32

you know

1:49:33

or somebody

1:49:34

much lower

1:49:35

level

1:49:35

the moment

1:49:36

they send

1:49:37

that to

1:49:37

the press

1:49:37

if

1:49:38

you know

1:49:39

in order

1:49:39

to

1:49:39

they figure

1:49:41

they have

1:49:41

nothing

1:49:41

to lose

1:49:41

I mean

1:49:42

there's

1:49:42

not been

1:49:43

anybody

1:49:43

in the

1:49:44

seven years

1:49:45

that's

1:49:45

transpired

1:49:45

who said

1:49:46

I've been

1:49:46

I was

1:49:46

personally

1:49:47

blackmailed

1:49:47

by Jeffrey

1:49:48

I think

1:49:49

because the

1:49:50

moment you

1:49:50

do that

1:49:50

nobody

1:49:51

comes to

1:49:51

your parties

1:49:52

anymore

1:49:52

nobody

1:49:53

you lose

1:49:53

all the

1:49:54

access

1:49:54

you lose

1:49:54

all the

1:49:55

deal flow

1:49:55

you lose

1:49:56

all the

1:49:56

goodwill

1:49:57

that you've

1:49:57

generated

1:49:58

because this

1:49:58

rumor

1:49:59

people are

1:50:00

very risk

1:50:01

averse

1:50:01

especially

1:50:01

at that

1:50:02

level

1:50:02

right

1:50:02

but just

1:50:03

to have

1:50:04

it over

1:50:04

their head

1:50:05

and never

1:50:06

use it

1:50:07

though

1:50:07

right

1:50:07

well

1:50:08

I think

1:50:08

I think

1:50:09

that what

1:50:09

you could

1:50:10

have

1:50:11

is

1:50:11

because

1:50:12

he does

1:50:13

his own

1:50:14

nefarious

1:50:14

stuff

1:50:14

he could

1:50:16

compile it

1:50:17

so that

1:50:17

if they

1:50:17

ever

1:50:17

go out

1:50:18

if they

1:50:18

ever

1:50:18

threaten

1:50:19

him

1:50:19

with

1:50:20

something

1:50:20

he's

1:50:21

now

1:50:21

got

1:50:21

something

1:50:22

on

1:50:22

them

1:50:22

and

1:50:23

I've

1:50:24

seen

1:50:24

some

1:50:24

correspondence

1:50:25

that

1:50:26

you know

1:50:26

in the

1:50:27

files

1:50:27

that

1:50:27

that

1:50:28

that

1:50:29

looks

1:50:29

like

1:50:29

that

1:50:29

might

1:50:30

not

1:50:31

be

1:50:31

an

1:50:31

impossible

1:50:31

scenario

1:50:31

do you

1:50:32

think

1:50:32

that's

1:50:32

how

1:50:32

Jeffrey

1:50:32

Epstein

1:50:33

got in

1:50:33

that

1:50:33

position

1:50:34

in

1:50:34

the

1:50:34

first

1:50:34

place

1:50:34

that

1:50:34

they

1:50:35

knew

1:50:35

he

1:50:35

had

1:50:35

this

1:50:36

kink

1:50:36

no

1:50:37

not

1:50:38

at

1:50:38

all

1:50:38

I

1:50:39

mean

1:50:39

Adnan

1:50:39

Khashoggi

1:50:39

had the

1:50:40

same

1:50:40

thing

1:50:40

Adnan

1:50:40

Khashoggi

1:50:41

was

1:50:41

running

1:50:41

around

1:50:42

with

1:50:42

dozens

1:50:43

of

1:50:43

young

1:50:43

and

1:50:44

you know

1:50:44

apparently

1:50:45

underage

1:50:46

girls

1:50:46

you know

1:50:47

the whole

1:50:47

time

1:50:47

I think

1:50:47

that

1:50:48

Jeffrey

1:50:48

Epstein

1:50:48

probably

1:50:49

learned

1:50:50

you know

1:50:51

how powerful

1:50:52

that can be

1:50:52

through

1:50:53

through that

1:50:53

network

1:50:54

seeing

1:50:54

that

1:50:55

that's

1:50:55

that's

1:50:56

what

1:50:57

powerful

1:50:57

people

1:50:57

do

1:50:58

that

1:50:59

gives

1:51:00

them

1:51:00

something

1:51:01

that

1:51:01

gets

1:51:03

them a lot

1:51:03

of local

1:51:04

influence

1:51:05

and gets

1:51:05

wins them

1:51:06

a lot

1:51:06

of favor

1:51:06

that's

1:51:07

a very

1:51:07

specific

1:51:08

illicit

1:51:09

desire

1:51:09

to want

1:51:11

underage

1:51:12

people

1:51:12

well

1:51:13

how do

1:51:14

you even

1:51:14

find out

1:51:15

that someone's

1:51:16

into that

1:51:16

well

1:51:17

I don't

1:51:17

think that

1:51:18

the

1:51:18

majority

1:51:20

or anything

1:51:20

close to

1:51:21

it

1:51:21

of the

1:51:22

women

1:51:22

were

1:51:23

technically

1:51:24

I think

1:51:24

it was

1:51:25

largely

1:51:26

young

1:51:26

very young

1:51:27

you know

1:51:29

barely legal

1:51:30

so to speak

1:51:30

but

1:51:30

and I know

1:51:31

that there

1:51:31

were cases

1:51:32

of underage

1:51:33

but

1:51:33

I

1:51:34

you know

1:51:34

I think

1:51:34

most of it

1:51:36

was just

1:51:36

most of it

1:51:37

was just

1:51:37

very very

1:51:37

young

1:51:38

but not

1:51:38

not like

1:51:39

like 20

1:51:40

year old

1:51:40

not like 13

1:51:41

year old

1:51:42

type thing

1:51:42

and then

1:51:43

yeah

1:51:43

remember

1:51:44

because this

1:51:45

is an

1:51:45

international

1:51:46

enterprise

1:51:47

and many

1:51:48

of the

1:51:48

clients

1:51:48

are like

1:51:49

you know

1:51:51

in countries

1:51:52

that don't

1:51:52

necessarily

1:51:53

have the same

1:51:53

norms about

1:51:54

that

1:51:54

that we

1:51:55

do

1:51:55

you can

1:51:57

very easily

1:51:57

see someone

1:51:58

getting involved

1:51:59

in that

1:51:59

just because

1:52:00

girls juice

1:52:01

deals

1:52:01

and

1:52:02

so I

1:52:03

don't

1:52:03

think

1:52:03

that

1:52:04

Epstein

1:52:04

I've not

1:52:06

seen

1:52:07

evidence

1:52:07

and

1:52:08

in my

1:52:10

view

1:52:10

you don't

1:52:11

need

1:52:11

any of

1:52:12

that

1:52:12

to

1:52:13

understand

1:52:13

the

1:52:14

core

1:52:14

part

1:52:14

of the

1:52:14

Epstein

1:52:15

story

1:52:15

that is

1:52:16

relevance

1:52:16

to your

1:52:17

life

1:52:17

today

1:52:17

in terms

1:52:18

of your

1:52:18

own

1:52:18

government

1:52:18

and

1:52:19

the

1:52:19

workings

1:52:20

of power

1:52:20

and corporate

1:52:21

finance

1:52:21

and the

1:52:22

like

1:52:22

but

1:52:23

I

1:52:24

do

1:52:25

think

1:52:26

that

1:52:26

girls

1:52:26

juice

1:52:26

deals

1:52:26

and

1:52:27

the

1:52:27

fact

1:52:27

that

1:52:27

he

1:52:27

had

1:52:28

the

1:52:28

coolest

1:52:28

parties

1:52:29

on a

1:52:30

private

1:52:30

island

1:52:31

with the

1:52:31

hottest

1:52:31

girls

1:52:32

is something

1:52:33

that

1:52:33

brought in

1:52:34

a lot

1:52:34

of

1:52:34

intellectuals

1:52:35

stimulating

1:52:36

conversations

1:52:37

scientists

1:52:38

all these

1:52:39

very

1:52:39

interesting

1:52:39

people

1:52:40

so that

1:52:40

was

1:52:40

part

1:52:41

of

1:52:41

the

1:52:41

thing

1:52:41

right

1:52:42

that

1:52:42

was

1:52:42

the

1:52:43

draw

1:52:43

try

1:52:44

hosting

1:52:44

a

1:52:45

cool

1:52:45

party

1:52:45

as a

1:52:47

guy

1:52:47

with

1:52:48

that

1:52:48

with

1:52:48

with a

1:52:49

bad

1:52:50

ratio

1:52:50

so to

1:52:51

speak

1:52:51

with a

1:52:53

sausage

1:52:53

party

1:52:54

and

1:52:54

when you

1:52:54

develop a

1:52:55

reputation

1:52:55

for having

1:52:56

attractive

1:52:56

women

1:52:56

at the

1:52:57

parties

1:52:57

you

1:52:57

host

1:52:58

you

1:52:59

become

1:52:59

an

1:53:00

important

1:53:02

person

1:53:03

to know

1:53:04

in the

1:53:04

network

1:53:04

because

1:53:05

basically

1:53:06

every

1:53:06

male

1:53:06

has

1:53:07

that

1:53:08

has

1:53:08

a

1:53:09

desire

1:53:09

for

1:53:09

attractive

1:53:10

women

1:53:10

not

1:53:11

saying

1:53:11

underage

1:53:12

obviously

1:53:13

but

1:53:13

that

1:53:14

is

1:53:14

like

1:53:14

a

1:53:14

universal

1:53:15

biological

1:53:17

desire

1:53:18

for men

1:53:19

to

1:53:19

want to

1:53:20

be around

1:53:20

attractive

1:53:21

women

1:53:21

and

1:53:21

what

1:53:21

do

1:53:22

they

1:53:22

do

1:53:22

for

1:53:22

gay

1:53:22

guys

1:53:23

i

1:53:24

have

1:53:25

no

1:53:25

idea

1:53:25

is

1:53:26

that

1:53:27

a

1:53:27

part

1:53:27

of

1:53:27

the

1:53:28

file

1:53:28

or

1:53:28

the

1:53:29

lore

1:53:30

i've

1:53:32

not

1:53:32

seen

1:53:32

evidence

1:53:33

of

1:53:33

it

1:53:33

or

1:53:34

if

1:53:34

i

1:53:35

have

1:53:35

i

1:53:35

can't

1:53:35

recall

1:53:35

it

1:53:36

offhand

1:53:37

but

1:53:37

again

1:53:38

the whole

1:53:39

point

1:53:39

is

1:53:39

he's

1:53:39

throwing

1:53:40

these

1:53:40

very

1:53:41

attractive

1:53:41

cool

1:53:41

parties

1:53:42

to

1:53:43

get

1:53:43

all

1:53:43

these

1:53:43

people

1:53:43

together

1:53:44

but

1:53:45

that's

1:53:45

what

1:53:46

juices

1:53:46

deals

1:53:46

right

1:53:47

if

1:53:48

you

1:53:48

take

1:53:50

this

1:53:50

scenario

1:53:51

um

1:53:52

epstein's

1:53:53

running

1:53:53

a fund

1:53:54

um

1:53:55

a

1:53:56

a donor

1:53:59

a colleague

1:54:00

someone

1:54:01

that he'd

1:54:02

like to

1:54:03

do a

1:54:03

favor

1:54:03

for

1:54:03

or an

1:54:04

intelligence

1:54:04

service

1:54:05

says

1:54:05

hey

1:54:06

um

1:54:07

we're

1:54:09

trying to

1:54:10

get a

1:54:10

pipeline

1:54:10

built

1:54:11

in the

1:54:12

middle

1:54:12

east

1:54:13

um

1:54:14

we

1:54:16

we need

1:54:16

a

1:54:17

you know

1:54:18

a

1:54:18

facilitator

1:54:19

to

1:54:19

help

1:54:20

arrange

1:54:20

private

1:54:22

outside

1:54:22

funding

1:54:23

for it

1:54:23

so this

1:54:24

thing

1:54:24

can be

1:54:25

constructed

1:54:25

and it

1:54:27

doesn't look

1:54:27

like it's

1:54:28

coming from

1:54:28

the u.s

1:54:28

government

1:54:29

or just

1:54:29

but you

1:54:30

know

1:54:30

we'll

1:54:30

the u.s

1:54:31

government

1:54:32

will provide

1:54:32

some sort

1:54:33

of loan

1:54:33

guarantee

1:54:34

or something

1:54:34

on it

1:54:35

but we

1:54:35

can't raise

1:54:36

enough money

1:54:36

to do

1:54:37

this

1:54:37

it needs

1:54:38

to come

1:54:38

from the

1:54:38

outside

1:54:39

but it

1:54:40

would really

1:54:40

help

1:54:40

american

1:54:41

national

1:54:41

security

1:54:42

and there's

1:54:42

probably

1:54:43

something in

1:54:43

it for

1:54:43

you

1:54:44

if you

1:54:44

can get

1:54:44

this

1:54:45

done

1:54:45

epstein

1:54:47

then goes

1:54:47

out and

1:54:48

says to

1:54:49

then puts

1:54:50

out basically

1:54:51

tries to

1:54:52

make contact

1:54:53

with people

1:54:54

in his

1:54:55

network

1:54:55

who might

1:54:56

be interested

1:54:56

in that

1:54:57

deal

1:54:58

and then

1:54:59

goes

1:54:59

and

1:55:00

that

1:55:01

he goes

1:55:02

out to

1:55:02

five people

1:55:03

two of

1:55:04

them are

1:55:05

in the

1:55:07

space

1:55:07

locally

1:55:08

the deal

1:55:09

terms look

1:55:10

good

1:55:10

they want

1:55:10

to do

1:55:11

it

1:55:11

100%

1:55:12

no hesitation

1:55:12

and then

1:55:16

two people

1:55:17

say

1:55:17

well listen

1:55:18

it's a good

1:55:19

idea in

1:55:20

concept

1:55:20

but I

1:55:21

don't know

1:55:21

the risk

1:55:21

profile on

1:55:22

it looks

1:55:22

a little

1:55:22

high

1:55:23

this normally

1:55:24

is not

1:55:25

would not

1:55:25

be something

1:55:26

that my

1:55:26

team would

1:55:26

clear

1:55:27

we

1:55:28

you know

1:55:29

it's

1:55:29

interesting

1:55:30

but

1:55:30

you know

1:55:31

I

1:55:31

it's

1:55:33

just

1:55:33

it's a

1:55:34

little

1:55:34

rich

1:55:34

for my

1:55:35

blood

1:55:35

in terms

1:55:35

of the

1:55:35

risk

1:55:36

profile

1:55:36

but

1:55:37

Jeffrey

1:55:38

Epstein

1:55:39

asked them

1:55:39

to do

1:55:39

it

1:55:39

and

1:55:40

Jeffrey

1:55:41

Epstein

1:55:41

you know

1:55:42

for the

1:55:42

past

1:55:42

three years

1:55:43

of their

1:55:43

lives

1:55:44

has been

1:55:44

the best

1:55:45

weekend

1:55:46

they've

1:55:46

ever had

1:55:47

has

1:55:48

you know

1:55:48

has

1:55:48

made them

1:55:49

feel alive

1:55:50

again

1:55:50

in their

1:55:51

you know

1:55:51

mid 50s

1:55:52

or 60s

1:55:53

has

1:55:53

you know

1:55:54

has opened

1:55:55

all sorts

1:55:55

of other

1:55:55

deals

1:55:56

for you

1:55:56

for them

1:55:57

and

1:55:58

this deal

1:55:58

might work

1:55:59

out

1:55:59

so

1:56:00

if

1:56:01

I'm afraid

1:56:02

that if

1:56:02

I say

1:56:02

no

1:56:03

to Jeffrey

1:56:03

Epstein

1:56:04

on this

1:56:04

deal

1:56:05

I'm not

1:56:05

going to

1:56:06

get an

1:56:06

invite

1:56:06

to the

1:56:07

next

1:56:07

party

1:56:07

I'm not

1:56:08

going to

1:56:08

be able

1:56:08

to get

1:56:08

laid

1:56:09

again

1:56:09

with

1:56:09

like

1:56:10

you know

1:56:10

a girl

1:56:12

that I

1:56:12

with

1:56:13

you know

1:56:13

women I

1:56:13

find

1:56:14

attractive

1:56:14

or that

1:56:15

you know

1:56:15

yada yada

1:56:16

and Epstein

1:56:16

hooks those

1:56:17

up

1:56:17

I will

1:56:19

do

1:56:19

I'll get

1:56:20

in on

1:56:20

this deal

1:56:21

just because

1:56:22

I want to

1:56:23

be in the

1:56:23

good graces

1:56:24

of Jeffrey

1:56:24

Epstein

1:56:24

not

1:56:26

you know

1:56:27

because

1:56:27

the deal

1:56:29

as a

1:56:29

standalone

1:56:30

thing

1:56:30

it's

1:56:30

because

1:56:30

it's

1:56:31

juiced

1:56:31

by

1:56:31

the girls

1:56:32

the parties

1:56:33

the lifestyle

1:56:34

that Epstein

1:56:35

allows you to

1:56:36

have access to

1:56:37

but in the

1:56:37

public eye

1:56:38

the narrative

1:56:38

is underage

1:56:40

girls

1:56:40

and this is

1:56:41

the thing

1:56:41

that makes

1:56:42

it so

1:56:42

disgusting

1:56:42

when people

1:56:43

talk about

1:56:43

it

1:56:44

everyone says

1:56:44

fuck kids

1:56:45

on the

1:56:45

island

1:56:46

this is

1:56:46

the

1:56:47

big conspiracy

1:56:49

about it

1:56:50

and this is

1:56:51

the reason

1:56:51

why people

1:56:52

are so

1:56:52

outraged

1:56:53

about it

1:56:54

my concern

1:56:57

with the

1:56:58

runaway

1:56:58

train

1:56:58

on that

1:56:59

is that

1:57:00

it's a

1:57:04

massive

1:57:04

manhunt

1:57:05

for something

1:57:06

that

1:57:07

it may be

1:57:08

true

1:57:08

to me

1:57:09

it's a

1:57:09

it's an

1:57:10

it's a

1:57:11

needle

1:57:12

in the

1:57:12

haystack

1:57:12

it might

1:57:14

be true

1:57:14

good luck

1:57:15

looking for

1:57:16

it

1:57:16

and

1:57:17

when

1:57:19

I think

1:57:20

about it

1:57:21

logically

1:57:21

with the

1:57:22

role that

1:57:22

Epstein

1:57:23

played

1:57:23

between

1:57:24

BCCI

1:57:25

Iran

1:57:26

Contra

1:57:27

Latin

1:57:28

American

1:57:29

politics

1:57:29

African

1:57:30

politics

1:57:30

Asian

1:57:31

politics

1:57:31

major

1:57:32

world

1:57:33

foundations

1:57:33

you don't

1:57:35

need

1:57:35

it would

1:57:38

seem

1:57:39

ludicrous

1:57:42

to me

1:57:43

that

1:57:44

Epstein

1:57:44

doesn't

1:57:47

mean

1:57:47

it's

1:57:47

impossible

1:57:47

but

1:57:49

logistically

1:57:49

if

1:57:50

Epstein

1:57:51

ever

1:57:51

directly

1:57:51

threatened

1:57:52

someone

1:57:53

proactively

1:57:55

that is

1:57:56

if the

1:57:56

person

1:57:56

tries to

1:57:57

blackmail

1:57:57

Epstein

1:57:57

Epstein

1:57:58

could

1:57:58

you know

1:57:59

reactively

1:58:00

say well

1:58:01

I've got

1:58:01

I've got

1:58:02

shit on

1:58:03

you too

1:58:03

but

1:58:04

proactively

1:58:05

and really

1:58:06

really do

1:58:07

someone in

1:58:07

like that

1:58:08

and word

1:58:10

gets around

1:58:10

that that

1:58:11

happens

1:58:11

everything

1:58:13

everything

1:58:15

he built

1:58:15

goes

1:58:15

the whole

1:58:16

Rolodex

1:58:16

finds out

1:58:17

and then

1:58:18

even if

1:58:18

the rumor

1:58:19

is not

1:58:19

even if

1:58:19

that rumor

1:58:20

isn't

1:58:21

even if

1:58:22

he didn't

1:58:22

if that rumor

1:58:23

existed

1:58:23

people aren't

1:58:25

going to want

1:58:25

to go to

1:58:25

the parties

1:58:26

because

1:58:26

now

1:58:27

that's not

1:58:28

like an

1:58:29

unfettered

1:58:30

good time

1:58:30

that is

1:58:31

like oh

1:58:32

he did

1:58:33

this to

1:58:33

this guy

1:58:33

I know

1:58:34

right

1:58:34

and

1:58:35

so

1:58:37

in the

1:58:39

fact that

1:58:40

you know

1:58:40

these sorts

1:58:40

of things

1:58:41

they have

1:58:42

a value

1:58:42

way beyond

1:58:47

blackmail

1:58:48

they have

1:58:48

a value

1:58:49

in terms

1:58:50

of

1:58:50

bringing

1:58:51

people

1:58:51

in network

1:58:52

and keeping

1:58:52

clients and

1:58:53

customers happy

1:58:54

and providing

1:58:55

access

1:58:56

and I

1:58:57

think

1:58:57

I think

1:59:00

that the

1:59:01

focus on

1:59:02

that

1:59:02

listen

1:59:02

if there

1:59:03

were

1:59:03

any sort

1:59:04

of receipts

1:59:04

whatsoever

1:59:05

on that

1:59:06

after

1:59:07

all these

1:59:08

years

1:59:08

if there

1:59:09

was like

1:59:09

something

1:59:10

really good

1:59:11

to chew

1:59:11

on

1:59:12

on that

1:59:13

on that

1:59:13

thread

1:59:14

I'm

1:59:15

I'm

1:59:15

very

1:59:16

I'm open

1:59:16

minded

1:59:17

about it

1:59:17

but

1:59:18

my concern

1:59:20

is

1:59:20

the fixation

1:59:22

on this

1:59:22

you think

1:59:25

about the

1:59:25

sort of

1:59:25

pie chart

1:59:26

of

1:59:26

what

1:59:28

the Epstein

1:59:28

cinematic

1:59:29

universe

1:59:29

can tell

1:59:30

you about

1:59:30

the world

1:59:30

even if

1:59:32

it's

1:59:32

true

1:59:33

it's

1:59:33

a

1:59:33

very

1:59:34

very

1:59:34

very

1:59:34

small

1:59:35

fraction

1:59:35

of

1:59:35

that

1:59:36

and

1:59:37

this

1:59:37

gets

1:59:37

back

1:59:37

to

1:59:38

in

1:59:38

1999

1:59:39

I

1:59:39

mentioned

1:59:40

Jeffrey

1:59:42

Epstein

1:59:43

FOIA'd

1:59:44

the Central

1:59:45

Intelligence

1:59:45

Agency

1:59:46

in 1999

1:59:47

for all

1:59:49

records

1:59:49

about

1:59:50

himself

1:59:50

and

1:59:52

then he

1:59:53

did it

1:59:53

again

1:59:54

in 2011

1:59:54

now Jeffrey

1:59:55

Epstein

1:59:55

was not

1:59:56

a public

1:59:56

figure

1:59:57

at all

1:59:57

in

1:59:57

1999

1:59:58

he

1:59:58

didn't

1:59:59

come

1:59:59

into

1:59:59

public

2:00:00

awareness

2:00:00

public

2:00:01

attention

2:00:01

until

2:00:02

2001

2:00:03

2002

2:00:03

when he

2:00:04

started

2:00:04

flying

2:00:04

when he

2:00:06

flew

2:00:06

Bill

2:00:06

Clinton

2:00:07

around

2:00:07

post

2:00:08

presidency

2:00:08

Bill

2:00:09

Clinton

2:00:09

around

2:00:09

on his

2:00:11

Africa

2:00:12

tour

2:00:12

around the

2:00:13

time of the

2:00:13

start of the

2:00:14

Clinton

2:00:14

Foundation

2:00:14

and everyone

2:00:15

was wondering

2:00:16

whoa

2:00:16

who's

2:00:17

who's

2:00:17

this

2:00:17

eccentric

2:00:18

billionaire

2:00:18

who

2:00:19

is

2:00:21

personally

2:00:21

flying around

2:00:22

on his

2:00:22

private jet

2:00:23

the president

2:00:24

of the United

2:00:24

States

2:00:24

for the past

2:00:25

eight years

2:00:25

and that's

2:00:26

when

2:00:26

you know

2:00:27

the Jeffrey

2:00:27

Epstein

2:00:28

celebrity

2:00:29

story

2:00:29

started

2:00:29

but he

2:00:30

was a

2:00:30

he was

2:00:30

a private

2:00:31

figure

2:00:31

in 1999

2:00:32

when he

2:00:33

FOIA'd

2:00:34

the Central

2:00:34

Intelligence

2:00:35

Agency

2:00:35

for records

2:00:37

and we

2:00:38

just learned

2:00:38

this in the

2:00:39

files this

2:00:39

week

2:00:39

the

2:00:42

response

2:00:43

we don't

2:00:45

actually have

2:00:45

the underlying

2:00:46

what's

2:00:48

what's in

2:00:48

the files

2:00:49

is a

2:00:49

2011

2:00:49

FOIA

2:00:51

response

2:00:52

to Jeffrey

2:00:52

Epstein's

2:00:53

lawyer

2:00:53

Jeffrey

2:00:53

Epstein

2:00:54

did this

2:00:54

through his

2:00:55

lawyer

2:00:55

using the

2:00:56

Privacy

2:00:56

Act

2:00:57

this is a

2:00:57

way to

2:00:58

basically

2:00:58

kind of

2:01:00

anonymously

2:01:01

FOIA

2:01:01

the CIA

2:01:03

to

2:01:04

basically

2:01:07

keep

2:01:07

communications

2:01:08

between the

2:01:08

CIA and

2:01:09

your lawyer

2:01:10

for information

2:01:11

you're entitled

2:01:11

to under

2:01:12

the Privacy

2:01:12

Act

2:01:13

about

2:01:13

yourself

2:01:14

and

2:01:15

we don't

2:01:17

have the

2:01:18

underlying

2:01:18

letter

2:01:18

in the

2:01:19

files

2:01:19

tragically

2:01:20

and for

2:01:21

whatever

2:01:21

reason

2:01:21

but

2:01:22

what we

2:01:23

do

2:01:24

have

2:01:24

because

2:01:25

I would

2:01:25

expect

2:01:25

that to

2:01:25

be an

2:01:26

enclosure

2:01:26

to the

2:01:27

CIA

2:01:27

response

2:01:28

but the

2:01:29

fact is

2:01:29

is anybody

2:01:30

who wants

2:01:30

to be a

2:01:31

hero

2:01:31

right now

2:01:32

and I

2:01:33

have it up

2:01:33

on my

2:01:33

on my

2:01:34

X

2:01:34

account

2:01:34

I have

2:01:35

in the

2:01:37

thread

2:01:37

that I

2:01:38

did on

2:01:38

this

2:01:38

the

2:01:39

reference

2:01:39

the file

2:01:40

reference

2:01:40

numbers

2:01:40

these

2:01:41

are not

2:01:42

classified

2:01:42

documents

2:01:43

FOIA

2:01:43

responses

2:01:44

are not

2:01:44

classified

2:01:45

so

2:01:46

anybody

2:01:47

right now

2:01:47

can

2:01:48

FOIA

2:01:48

the Central

2:01:49

Intelligence

2:01:49

Agency

2:01:49

for all

2:01:50

records

2:01:50

and

2:01:50

communications

2:01:51

related

2:01:51

to the

2:01:53

CIA's

2:01:54

written

2:01:56

communications

2:01:57

with

2:01:58

Jeffrey Epstein

2:01:59

via his

2:02:00

lawyer

2:02:00

both in

2:02:01

1999

2:02:02

2011

2:02:02

but the

2:02:03

2011

2:02:03

what it

2:02:04

says is

2:02:04

we have

2:02:05

received your

2:02:06

request for

2:02:07

your client

2:02:07

Jeffrey Epstein's

2:02:09

records search

2:02:11

under the

2:02:11

Freedom of

2:02:12

Information Act

2:02:12

we have

2:02:14

granted the

2:02:15

request to

2:02:16

search for

2:02:17

all open

2:02:18

and acknowledged

2:02:19

agency

2:02:20

affiliations

2:02:21

between

2:02:22

Jeffrey Epstein

2:02:22

and the

2:02:23

CIA

2:02:23

we have

2:02:26

run that

2:02:27

search

2:02:27

and the

2:02:28

answer is

2:02:28

no documents

2:02:29

are responsive

2:02:30

to the

2:02:31

request

2:02:31

and that

2:02:32

says in

2:02:32

the next

2:02:32

paragraph

2:02:33

with respect

2:02:34

to your

2:02:35

request

2:02:35

that touches

2:02:37

on

2:02:37

classified

2:02:38

classified

2:02:39

documents

2:02:40

we can

2:02:41

neither

2:02:41

confirm

2:02:42

nor deny

2:02:42

the

2:02:43

existence

2:02:43

or

2:02:43

non

2:02:44

existence

2:02:44

of

2:02:45

any

2:02:45

such

2:02:46

documents

2:02:46

so you

2:02:47

can

2:02:47

consider

2:02:47

this

2:02:47

a

2:02:48

partial

2:02:48

denial

2:02:48

of

2:02:49

your

2:02:49

FOIA

2:02:49

request

2:02:50

now what's

2:02:51

so

2:02:51

interesting

2:02:52

about that

2:02:53

is

2:02:53

you may

2:02:54

think if

2:02:55

you read

2:02:55

that

2:02:55

that

2:02:56

Jeffrey

2:02:56

Epstein

2:02:56

just

2:02:58

requested

2:02:59

any

2:03:00

public

2:03:00

facing

2:03:00

links

2:03:01

between

2:03:01

him

2:03:01

and

2:03:01

the

2:03:01

CIA

2:03:02

or

2:03:04

what

2:03:06

just a

2:03:06

general

2:03:07

what do

2:03:08

you have

2:03:09

on me

2:03:09

that the

2:03:09

public

2:03:10

can

2:03:10

search

2:03:11

just to

2:03:11

see

2:03:12

first of

2:03:12

the fact

2:03:12

they did

2:03:12

that

2:03:13

alone

2:03:13

twice

2:03:14

in

2:03:15

1999

2:03:15

2011

2:03:16

says

2:03:16

something

2:03:16

but the

2:03:18

you might

2:03:19

think okay

2:03:19

well he just

2:03:20

wants to know

2:03:20

if other

2:03:21

people might

2:03:21

think that

2:03:22

he's

2:03:22

CIA

2:03:24

you know

2:03:25

he's

2:03:25

he's moving

2:03:26

up in the

2:03:26

world in

2:03:27

1999

2:03:27

he's about

2:03:28

to be a

2:03:28

massive

2:03:28

public

2:03:29

figure

2:03:29

he wants

2:03:29

to know

2:03:30

if other

2:03:30

people

2:03:31

FOIA

2:03:33

the CIA

2:03:33

for records

2:03:34

on him

2:03:34

what they

2:03:34

will see

2:03:35

and

2:03:36

but that

2:03:38

it turns

2:03:38

out

2:03:39

that

2:03:39

response

2:03:41

to a

the fact

he

this is

2:05:05

review

2:05:06

all

2:05:06

classified

2:05:07

records

2:05:07

relating

2:05:08

to the

2:05:08

JFK

2:05:08

assassination

2:05:09

for the

2:05:10

first time

2:05:10

ever

2:05:10

and then

2:05:12

declassify

2:05:13

them

2:05:14

over months

2:05:15

and years

2:05:16

through

2:05:16

the work

2:05:17

of that

2:05:17

independent

2:05:18

board

2:05:18

of the

2:05:20

existence

2:05:20

of this

2:05:21

correspondence

2:05:22

we just

2:05:23

learned about

2:05:23

this week

2:05:23

alone

2:05:24

should

2:05:25

prompt

2:05:25

a

2:05:25

427

2:05:27

to

2:05:27

1

2:05:27

and

2:05:28

100%

2:05:29

Senate

2:05:29

to

2:05:30

do

2:05:30

the

2:05:30

same

2:05:30

thing

2:05:31

they

2:05:31

just

2:05:31

did

2:05:31

with

2:05:31

DOJ

2:05:32

files

2:05:32

for CIA

2:05:33

originated

2:05:34

files

2:05:34

that's

2:05:36

actionable

2:05:38

immediately

2:05:38

who's going to want to be on the other side of that in Congress

2:05:41

know the CIA's records about Jeffrey Epstein prolific child sex trap

2:05:48

however you want you know whatever you see in the Rorschach inkblot test

2:05:53

of the Epstein universe I think it'd be very hard to be if that bill gets

2:06:00

introduced for a sitting member of Congress to be on the other side of it I

2:06:04

think it would pass

2:06:05

and it would legally compel the CIA to turn over what I think are quite

2:06:11

possibly arguably very likely 40 years of CIA documents referencing Epstein the

2:06:21

CIA would not be doing its job if it didn't have records about Jeffrey Epstein

2:06:25

Jeffrey Epstein was a counterintelligence threat with all the foreign countries

2:06:30

that he was dealing with if he had been a double agent sort of thing the CIA

2:06:34

would not be doing its job

2:06:35

it was not keeping to see Epstein's network was a key financial logistics hubs

2:06:41

in highly geopolitical sensitive areas of operation of the CIA

2:06:44

the economics division of the CIA let alone you know the operations division is

2:06:49

going to have to you know keep analysts informed about money flows in those

2:06:56

countries and when you add and then you add in the fact that he represented Anand

2:07:01

Khashoggi's money who was the CIA's main point

2:07:05

for 10 years the literal central linchpin and his money is being handled there's

2:07:13

no way and you would now have a legal mechanism to enforce CID classification

2:07:20

if Congress forces it now the other part of it is okay why hasn't the CIA

2:07:23

turned this over before you could argue it's a Orlando Massford case it would

2:07:28

embarrass the agency it would mean in Congress their funding is going to get

2:07:32

decimated because they're toxic

2:07:35

you can argue it's foreign governments you can argue it's foreign governments

2:07:38

that don't want that but part of it is the CIA is not allowed to do this unless

2:07:39

the Congress forces them these are classified documents I mean it could

2:07:42

you can't you know charitably volunteer to ODNI by conducting you know an

2:07:50

internal task force that voluntarily you know ask Tulsi Gabbard to declassify

2:08:00

these I wouldn't hold your breath on that but this is immediately actionable

2:08:06

and it would solve the mystery all we need is one brave member of Congress to

2:08:10

get the ball rolling and

2:08:12

stand up that bill and you can just copy paste the 1992 JFK records collection

2:08:17

act and just substitute JFK for Jeffrey Epstein what's your take on the

2:08:22

circumstances around his death

2:08:24

I don't know I don't know I it's weird that they took a guy who is one of the

2:08:32

most high profile defendants ever and you put him in jail with a mass murder

2:08:38

yeah

2:08:39

yeah kind of crazy you put him in jail with a cop who'd killed drug dealers a

2:08:45

juiced up gigantic cop

2:08:47

yeah who was obviously a psychopath and then 18 days before he died he

2:08:52

complained that that guy tried to kill him

2:08:54

yeah

2:08:55

uh

2:08:57

I mean it it it doesn't look good

2:09:00

it's just crazy that this guy wasn't in protective custody

2:09:04

it's crazy that the cameras go down

2:09:07

it's crazy that the footage that they released is weird because it's missing

2:09:11

it's missing time

2:09:12

and it's crazy that it happened under the watch

2:09:16

of an attorney general who himself was so deeply embedded in the Epstein

2:09:21

network his whole life

2:09:22

I mean from the weird kind of coincidence of

2:09:25

Bill Barr's father Donald Barr and Jeffrey Epstein's

2:09:29

Dalton school to the fact that Bill Barr

2:09:31

started his career in the CIA

2:09:33

during the Iran Contra operation that Jeffrey Epstein was

2:09:37

appears to have been doing the covert money laundering for

2:09:40

I mean Jeffrey Bill Barr was

2:09:41

like seven years

2:09:43

he went to Knight Law School

2:09:45

trained to be a lawyer while he was at the CIA

2:09:47

and then his

2:09:48

you know

2:09:49

main job was being the CIA's blocker and tackler to

2:09:53

obstruct

2:09:54

he was the he was the CIA's point of contact to Congress during the Iran Contra

2:09:59

scandal that Jeffrey Epstein was so deeply involved in

2:10:01

uh and was blamed in the press at the time for being the

2:10:06

person at CIA blocking Congress from seeing

2:10:09

the CIA scan documents

2:10:11

that were so central to the scandal

2:10:14

then he becomes the attorney general of the United States and he writes the pardons

2:10:18

of the BCCI

2:10:19

officials

2:10:20

who was co-leading that investigation Robert Mueller at the time this is in the

2:10:25

early 1990s

2:10:26

the first time Bill Barr so so you have the BCCI Bear Stearns

2:10:32

multi-billion dollar operation

2:10:34

that appears to me that Jeffrey Epstein

2:10:37

was working on and then got took the clients from that deal as his own personal

2:10:42

clients when he went private on his own

2:10:44

and Bill Barr is who lets the people from the crooked CIA bank

2:10:49

off the hook and then he becomes attorney general again

2:10:52

uh

2:10:54

you know and in 2019 it's

2:10:56

he's the one in charge of the FBI

2:10:58

the FBI answers to the Justice Department

2:11:00

the FBI is the same relationship with with justice that the CIA has with state

2:11:04

you know they're the investigative arm

2:11:05

of the Justice Department

2:11:07

so you know I think if

2:11:10

I think it's hard to trust anyone on this

2:11:13

and

2:11:14

I don't know you know what kind of file set

2:11:17

the Trump FBI

2:11:19

inherited

2:11:20

after

2:11:21

after all this time

2:11:23

uh

2:11:24

it's hard to make heads or tails of it

2:11:26

to me

2:11:27

I think getting answers on the things that are immediately actionable

2:11:31

getting the CIA's direct correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein

2:11:35

you know that I mentioned

2:11:37

uh

2:11:37

a congressional bill that forces that

2:11:40

because if it comes out

2:11:41

that there are

2:11:42

effectively

2:11:43

in it

2:11:44

an entire avalanche

2:11:45

of classified Epstein files

2:11:48

uh

2:11:50

dating back 40 years

2:11:51

and then you've got the CIA attorney

2:11:54

it puts these things in a very different light

2:11:57

depending on whether

2:11:58

the thing that has generated so much smoke this whole time

2:12:06

uh

2:12:07

the allegation of protection

2:12:09

by

2:12:10

US

2:12:12

government intelligence

2:12:13

and

2:12:14

however many others

2:12:15

uh

2:12:16

to know that

2:12:18

on physical paper

2:12:20

like we know

2:12:21

that the CIA

2:12:22

interfered in the Rolando-Massford trial

2:12:23

like we know

2:12:24

that the CIA

2:12:25

contracted out to Mafia Hitman

2:12:27

in an attempt to kill a foreign president

2:12:28

like we

2:12:29

know

2:12:30

that

2:12:31

MKUltro actually

2:12:32

was real

2:12:34

I mean

2:12:34

these things

2:12:35

you can't scale

2:12:37

you know

2:12:38

I think of things like

2:12:38

like a Jenga tower

2:12:39

if

2:12:41

if

2:12:41

if a foundational piece

2:12:43

is not solid

2:12:44

you can scale

2:12:46

a whole architecture

2:12:48

of BS

2:12:49

on top of it

2:12:49

and if that assumption

2:12:51

falls away

2:12:52

this majestic looking

2:12:55

you know

2:12:56

tapestry

2:12:57

of just

2:12:58

years and years

2:12:59

of effort

2:12:59

collapses

2:13:00

because the thing you

2:13:01

assumed to be true

2:13:02

because

2:13:03

it looked

2:13:04

like there was so much smoke

2:13:06

to

2:13:07

to know it to be true

2:13:09

that that is a solid

2:13:10

piece

2:13:11

that you can put the next piece

2:13:12

on top of

2:13:13

you know

2:13:14

it's um

2:13:15

there's that quote

2:13:16

99% is a bitch

2:13:18

100% is a breeze

2:13:19

what does that mean

2:13:21

it means

2:13:23

when you're only 99%

2:13:25

sure of something

2:13:26

you

2:13:27

you always

2:13:28

have to agonize

2:13:29

well

2:13:30

what

2:13:31

if it's not true

2:13:34

and it

2:13:35

and

2:13:36

I

2:13:37

think it is

2:13:38

and I build all this

2:13:39

stuff on top of it

2:13:40

the 1% chance

2:13:42

that

2:13:42

that's not true

2:13:43

means

2:13:44

uh

2:13:45

it would be a real

2:13:45

bitch for this

2:13:46

me to spend years

2:13:47

of effort on this thing

2:13:48

for me to spend

2:13:49

thousands

2:13:50

you know

2:13:50

millions of dollars

2:13:51

you know

2:13:52

on this thing

2:13:52

when it's based on

2:13:53

assumption that

2:13:54

it was only 99%

2:13:56

likely to be true

2:13:56

but

2:13:57

1%

2:13:58

it may have been

2:13:59

structured some way

2:13:59

different

2:14:00

there might be

2:14:00

something I missed

2:14:01

in this

2:14:01

whereas 100%

2:14:03

is a breeze

2:14:04

okay

2:14:04

it's automatic

2:14:06

you can

2:14:07

and

2:14:07

things like

2:14:08

this is why

2:14:09

document drops

2:14:11

like this

2:14:11

are so vital

2:14:13

not even

2:14:14

necessarily

2:14:15

because they have

2:14:16

some single

2:14:17

smoking gun

2:14:18

that tells you

2:14:20

who killed

2:14:20

JFK

2:14:21

or

2:14:22

you know

2:14:23

uh

2:14:23

what

2:14:25

client

2:14:26

Jeffrey Epstein

2:14:27

trafficked women

2:14:28

to

2:14:28

but because

2:14:29

it allows you

2:14:30

to put

2:14:32

down

2:14:33

real Jenga

2:14:34

pieces

2:14:34

about what

2:14:35

actually happened

2:14:36

and that process

2:14:37

itself

2:14:38

allows you to

2:14:39

ask the questions

2:14:40

that might get

2:14:40

you to those

2:14:41

answers

2:14:41

that makes a lot

2:14:44

of sense

2:14:44

um

2:14:46

is there anything

2:14:47

else you want

2:14:47

to add to this

2:14:48

I mean

2:14:50

we could kind of

2:14:51

go on for days

2:14:51

yeah

2:14:52

yeah

2:14:52

I mean

2:14:52

you spend so much

2:14:54

time on this stuff

2:14:55

how do you have

2:14:56

that kind of an

2:14:56

attention span

2:14:57

it's kind of nuts

2:14:58

I mean

2:14:59

I follow some of

2:15:00

your live streams

2:15:01

I'm like

2:15:01

first of all

2:15:02

your recall

2:15:03

is insane

2:15:04

you know

2:15:06

I heard something

2:15:07

once

2:15:08

which I think

2:15:08

is really helpful

2:15:09

I don't think

2:15:09

I'm special

2:15:10

in any way

2:15:11

like this

2:15:11

I think

2:15:12

literally

2:15:12

anyone can do

2:15:13

this

2:15:13

if you just

2:15:14

kind of

2:15:14

apply this

2:15:15

kind of trick

2:15:15

I heard this

2:15:16

once

2:15:16

which is that

2:15:17

if you read

2:15:18

a history book

2:15:19

don't just

2:15:21

read it

2:15:23

agnostically

2:15:24

have a

2:15:26

theory

2:15:26

in mind

2:15:28

about

2:15:29

what you

2:15:30

think

2:15:31

this is

2:15:32

and how it

2:15:33

worked

2:15:33

even if

2:15:35

you are

2:15:35

wrong

2:15:36

about that

2:15:36

theory

2:15:37

what you

2:15:37

will find

2:15:38

is that

2:15:39

names

2:15:40

dates

2:15:40

locations

2:15:41

your brain

2:15:43

will remember

2:15:44

them

2:15:45

forever

2:15:46

because

2:15:46

they're not

2:15:47

you know

2:15:49

if

2:15:50

if I'm

2:15:51

thinking about

2:15:52

something that

2:15:53

happened in

2:15:53

you know

2:15:55

I don't know

2:15:56

like

2:15:56

November

2:15:57

11th

2:15:59

1983

2:16:00

okay

2:16:02

if I see

2:16:03

like that

2:16:04

date

2:16:04

on a

2:16:05

driver's

2:16:05

license

2:16:05

card

2:16:06

or something

2:16:06

and I have

2:16:08

no theory

2:16:09

of mind

2:16:09

when I see

2:16:10

that

2:16:10

I'm not

2:16:11

going to

2:16:11

remember

2:16:11

that five

2:16:12

minutes

2:16:12

from then

2:16:12

it's

2:16:13

going to be

2:16:13

like

2:16:13

remembering

2:16:14

trying to

2:16:14

remember

2:16:15

an 11

2:16:15

string

2:16:16

you know

2:16:17

number

2:16:17

or like

2:16:18

someone's

2:16:18

cell phone

2:16:19

or something

2:16:20

when you

2:16:20

don't really

2:16:21

know the

2:16:21

person

2:16:21

or you

2:16:21

haven't

2:16:23

dialed in

2:16:23

a million

2:16:23

times

2:16:24

but if

2:16:25

you have

2:16:25

a theory

2:16:26

of mind

2:16:26

that you

2:16:26

are indexing

2:16:27

those things

2:16:28

in relation

2:16:28

to

2:16:29

what you

2:16:30

find is

2:16:30

that your

2:16:31

your brain

2:16:31

keeps those

2:16:33

in that

2:16:33

index

2:16:33

so like

2:16:34

I've

2:16:35

joked

2:16:35

like

2:16:35

because

2:16:37

you know

2:16:38

we've talked

2:16:38

about this

2:16:39

Iran-Contra

2:16:40

affair

2:16:40

which was

2:16:40

really the

2:16:41

creation

2:16:42

of this

2:16:42

apparatus

2:16:44

that we

2:16:44

live under

2:16:44

today

2:16:45

where

2:16:45

because the

2:16:46

CIA got

2:16:47

handcuffs

2:16:47

put on it

2:16:48

everything

2:16:49

had to

2:16:50

become CIA

2:16:50

to get

2:16:51

around those

2:16:52

handcuffs

2:16:52

the

2:16:53

universities

2:16:53

had to

2:16:54

be

2:16:54

the

2:16:54

foundations

2:16:55

the

2:16:55

private

2:16:56

philanthropic

2:16:57

donors

2:16:57

you know

2:16:58

and this

2:16:59

is what

2:16:59

happened

2:16:59

in the

2:16:59

censorship

2:16:59

industrial

2:17:00

complex

2:17:00

it was

2:17:01

all wrapped

2:17:01

around

2:17:01

this

2:17:01

but

2:17:02

what you

2:17:03

find

2:17:03

is like

2:17:03

those

2:17:04

dates

2:17:04

mean

2:17:05

something

2:17:05

to you

2:17:05

because

2:17:06

they're

2:17:06

they're

2:17:07

placed

2:17:07

in relation

2:17:07

to something

2:17:08

else

2:17:08

that

2:17:08

happens

2:17:08

you know

2:17:11

I joke

2:17:11

that like

2:17:11

I index

2:17:12

things by

2:17:12

you know

2:17:13

Iran-Contra

2:17:14

often

2:17:14

like for

2:17:15

example

2:17:15

if

2:17:15

there's

2:17:16

when I

2:17:16

was

2:17:16

you know

2:17:17

studying

2:17:17

about

2:17:18

BCCI

2:17:18

and I

2:17:18

learned okay

2:17:19

this

2:17:19

happened

2:17:19

in 1984

2:17:21

I don't

2:17:21

just think

2:17:21

about

2:17:21

1984

2:17:22

as a

2:17:23

an

2:17:24

abstract

2:17:24

thing

2:17:24

I think

2:17:25

okay

2:17:25

well

2:17:25

that

2:17:25

means

2:17:25

it

2:17:26

happened

2:17:26

after

2:17:27

the

2:17:27

meeting

2:17:28

between

2:17:28

Robert

2:17:29

McFarlane

2:17:29

and

2:17:29

Anand

2:17:30

Khashoggi

2:17:30

but before

2:17:31

the

2:17:32

you know

2:17:33

the oil

2:17:34

pipeline

2:17:34

scandal

2:17:35

of Ed

2:17:35

Meese

2:17:35

and then

2:17:36

so

2:17:36

I

2:17:38

remember

2:17:38

that

2:17:38

this

2:17:39

thing

2:17:39

happened

2:17:39

on

2:17:39

this

2:17:39

date

2:17:40

because

2:17:40

I

2:17:41

place

2:17:41

it

2:17:41

in

2:17:41

the

2:17:42

index

2:17:42

and

2:17:42

anyone

2:17:43

I

2:17:44

think

2:17:44

it's

2:17:44

it's

2:17:45

a

2:17:45

I

2:17:47

think

2:17:47

it's

2:17:47

something

2:17:47

that

2:17:48

anyone

2:17:48

you know

2:17:49

I

2:17:50

think

2:17:50

people

2:17:50

organically

2:17:51

do it

2:17:51

when they're

2:17:51

really

2:17:52

passionate

2:17:52

about

2:17:52

something

2:17:53

and

2:17:54

you know

2:17:56

this is an easy

2:17:56

thing to be

2:17:57

passionate about

2:17:57

because

2:17:58

it gets to

2:18:00

the heart

2:18:00

of networks

2:18:01

that

2:18:02

are the

2:18:04

determining

2:18:04

power

2:18:05

structures

2:18:05

of

2:18:06

your life

2:18:07

when you

2:18:08

look up

2:18:08

and then

2:18:09

you look

2:18:09

up at

2:18:10

the thing

2:18:10

that you're

2:18:10

looking up

2:18:10

at

2:18:11

and you

2:18:11

look

2:18:11

up

2:18:11

at

2:18:12

the

2:18:12

thing

2:18:12

above

2:18:13

that

2:18:13

this

2:18:14

this is

2:18:15

the

2:18:15

network

2:18:15

you

2:18:15

see

2:18:16

whether

2:18:16

it's

2:18:17

an

2:18:17

intelligence

2:18:17

military

2:18:18

statecraft

2:18:19

high

2:18:19

finance

2:18:20

private

2:18:21

philanthropies

2:18:22

universities

2:18:22

labor

2:18:23

unions

2:18:24

scientific

2:18:25

research

2:18:26

doesn't

2:18:27

mean

2:18:27

it's

2:18:27

you know

2:18:28

the

2:18:28

Epstein

2:18:28

network

2:18:29

so to

2:18:29

speak

2:18:29

but

2:18:29

it's

2:18:30

it's

2:18:30

this

2:18:31

this

2:18:31

layer

2:18:31

of

2:18:32

interconnected

2:18:32

human

2:18:33

networks

2:18:34

and

2:18:35

I

2:18:36

think

2:18:36

it's

2:18:36

an

2:18:36

important

2:18:37

history

2:18:37

for

2:18:38

the

2:18:39

American

2:18:39

people

2:18:40

to

2:18:40

have

2:18:41

access

2:18:42

to

2:18:42

so

2:18:43

that

2:18:43

they

2:18:43

can

2:18:43

make

2:18:43

informed

2:18:44

decisions

2:18:44

about

2:18:45

how

2:18:45

they

2:18:45

want

2:18:45

to

2:18:45

change

2:18:45

that

2:18:46

world

2:18:46

how

2:18:47

they

2:18:48

can

2:18:48

make

2:18:48

informed

2:18:48

decisions

2:18:48

about

2:18:49

what

2:18:49

to

2:18:49

vote

2:18:49

for

2:18:50

they

2:18:50

can

2:18:50

make

2:18:50

informed

2:18:51

decisions

2:18:51

about

2:18:51

what

2:18:52

kind

2:18:52

of

2:18:52

you

2:18:53

know

2:18:53

industries

2:18:54

that

2:18:55

they're

2:18:55

participating

2:18:55

in

2:18:56

that

2:18:56

they

2:18:56

might

2:18:56

want

2:18:56

to

2:18:56

see

2:18:56

reformed

2:18:57

and

2:18:59

it's

2:19:00

so

2:19:01

it

2:19:01

makes

2:19:01

it

2:19:01

easy

2:19:01

to

2:19:01

be

2:19:01

passionate

2:19:02

about

2:19:02

because

2:19:03

if

2:19:03

we

2:19:03

can

2:19:04

if

2:19:04

we

2:19:04

can

2:19:04

get

2:19:04

a

2:19:04

win

2:19:04

here

2:19:04

it

2:19:05

will

2:19:05

really

2:19:05

change

2:19:06

the

2:19:06

world

2:19:06

well

2:19:07

I

2:19:07

think

2:19:08

you

2:19:08

do

2:19:08

a

2:19:08

great

2:19:08

service

2:19:09

and

2:19:09

I

2:19:10

think

2:19:10

your

2:19:10

abilities

2:19:11

are

2:19:11

exceptional

2:19:12

I

2:19:12

think

2:19:12

you're

2:19:12

selling

2:19:12

yourself

2:19:13

short

2:19:13

a

2:19:13

little

2:19:13

bit

2:19:14

you're

2:19:14

being

2:19:14

a

2:19:14

little

2:19:14

self

2:19:14

deprecating

2:19:15

because

2:19:16

it's

2:19:16

very

2:19:16

unusual

2:19:17

what

2:19:17

you're

2:19:17

able

2:19:17

to

2:19:17

do

2:19:18

and

2:19:18

I

2:19:19

think

2:19:19

just

2:19:20

the

2:19:20

sheer

2:19:20

amount

2:19:21

of

2:19:21

time

2:19:22

that

2:19:22

you've

2:19:22

invested

2:19:22

in

2:19:23

this

2:19:24

stuff

2:19:24

is

2:19:24

kind

2:19:25

of

2:19:25

mind

2:19:25

boggling

2:19:26

well

2:19:26

what

2:19:26

would

2:19:27

you

2:19:27

like

2:19:27

to

2:19:27

see

2:19:27

in

2:19:28

this

2:19:28

like

2:19:29

if

2:19:29

you

2:19:29

had

2:19:29

a

2:19:29

wish

2:19:29

list

2:19:30

what

2:19:31

are

2:19:31

the

2:19:31

things

2:19:32

that

2:19:32

are

2:19:32

open

2:19:32

threads

2:19:33

or

2:19:33

well

2:19:34

the

2:19:36

real

2:19:36

concern

2:19:37

with

2:19:37

me

2:19:37

is

2:19:38

that

2:19:38

it's

2:19:38

unfixable

2:19:39

and

2:19:39

that

2:19:39

this

2:19:39

is

2:19:40

just

2:19:40

a

2:19:40

standard

2:19:40

way

2:19:42

that

2:19:42

our

2:19:43

government

2:19:43

has

2:19:43

operated

2:19:44

since

2:19:44

the

2:19:44

1950s

2:19:45

or

2:19:45

whenever

2:19:46

and

2:19:47

it

2:19:47

can't

2:19:47

be

2:19:47

fixed

2:19:48

and

2:19:48

that

2:19:48

they'll

2:19:49

just

2:19:49

gloss

2:19:49

over

2:19:49

it

2:19:50

a

2:19:50

new

2:19:50

person

2:19:51

will

2:19:51

get

2:19:51

into

2:19:51

office

2:19:52

and

2:19:52

promise

2:19:53

that

2:19:53

they're

2:19:54

going

2:19:54

to

2:19:55

implement

2:19:55

some

2:19:56

reform

2:19:56

and

2:19:56

it

2:19:57

never

2:19:57

happens

2:19:57

and

2:19:58

that

2:19:58

we

2:19:59

just

2:19:59

accept

2:19:59

that

2:19:59

over

2:20:00

and

2:20:00

over

2:20:00

and

2:20:00

over

2:20:00

again

2:20:01

that's

2:20:01

the

2:20:01

real

2:20:02

fear

2:20:02

the

2:20:02

real

2:20:02

fear

2:20:03

is

2:20:03

that

2:20:03

there's

2:20:04

a

2:20:04

slow

2:20:04

capture

2:20:05

of

2:20:06

our

2:20:06

democracy

2:20:07

to the

2:20:07

point

2:20:07

where

2:20:08

it's

2:20:08

just

2:20:08

a

2:20:08

mere

2:20:08

illusion

2:20:09

that's

2:20:10

the

2:20:10

real

2:20:10

fear

2:20:10

and

2:20:11

I

2:20:11

think

2:20:11

a

2:20:11

lot

2:20:11

of

2:20:11

people

2:20:11

think

2:20:12

that

2:20:12

we've

2:20:12

already

2:20:12

passed

2:20:12

the

2:20:13

point

2:20:13

of

2:20:21

like

2:20:22

particularly

2:20:23

England

2:20:23

which

2:20:24

is

2:20:24

just

2:20:25

rampant

2:20:26

crackdown

2:20:27

on

2:20:27

free

2:20:27

speech

2:20:28

and

2:20:28

what

2:20:29

the

2:20:29

arrests

2:20:30

from

2:20:30

people

2:20:31

that

2:20:31

are

2:20:31

posting

2:20:32

things

2:20:32

on

2:20:33

social

2:20:33

media

2:20:33

sites

2:20:34

and

2:20:34

the

2:20:35

implementations

2:20:36

of

2:20:37

there's

2:20:37

a

2:20:37

new

2:20:38

thing

2:20:38

that

2:20:38

they

2:20:39

tried

2:20:39

to

2:20:39

do

2:20:39

or

2:20:40

I

2:20:40

think

2:20:40

they

2:20:40

are

2:20:40

doing

2:20:41

this

2:20:42

concept

2:20:43

of

2:20:43

having

2:20:44

a

2:20:44

limited

2:20:44

amount

2:20:44

of

2:20:45

time

2:20:45

so you

2:20:45

can

2:20:45

drive

2:20:46

outside

2:20:46

of

2:20:46

a

2:20:46

zone

2:20:47

and

2:20:47

after

2:20:47

that

2:20:48

you

2:20:48

have

2:20:48

to

2:20:48

pay

2:20:48

for

2:20:48

it

2:20:48

that's

2:20:49

a

2:20:49

new

2:20:49

thing

2:20:49

right

2:20:49

yeah

2:20:50

I can

2:20:50

send

2:20:51

this

2:20:53

to

2:20:53

you

2:20:53

Jamie

2:20:53

because

2:20:53

I

2:20:54

just

2:20:54

sent

2:20:54

it

2:20:54

to

2:20:55

Constantine

2:20:56

because

2:20:56

it

2:20:56

appears

2:20:59

to be

2:20:59

real

2:20:59

and

2:21:00

it's

2:21:00

terrifying

2:21:01

your

2:21:01

carbon

2:21:01

budget

2:21:02

yeah

2:21:02

that's

2:21:03

nuts

2:21:03

well

2:21:04

look at

2:21:04

what

2:21:04

California

2:21:04

is

2:21:05

doing

2:21:05

right

2:21:05

now

2:21:05

what

2:21:06

California

2:21:06

is

2:21:07

doing

2:21:07

is

2:21:08

they

2:21:09

are

2:21:09

taking

2:21:10

or

2:21:12

they're

2:21:12

moving

2:21:13

forward

2:21:13

with

2:21:13

this

2:21:14

the

2:21:14

idea

2:21:14

that

2:21:15

you

2:21:15

have

2:21:15

a

2:21:16

attack

2:21:18

tax

2:21:19

on

2:21:19

the

2:21:19

amount

2:21:19

of

2:21:20

miles

2:21:20

that

2:21:20

you

2:21:20

drive

2:21:20

now

2:21:21

so

2:21:21

instead

2:21:22

of

2:21:22

just

2:21:23

taxing

2:21:23

gas

2:21:24

like

2:21:24

they've

2:21:25

always

2:21:25

done

2:21:25

now

2:21:26

they're

2:21:26

taxing

2:21:26

you

2:21:27

on

2:21:27

the

2:21:28

amount

2:21:28

of

2:21:28

miles

2:21:28

that

2:21:28

you

2:21:28

drive

2:21:28

well

2:21:29

you're

2:21:29

already

2:21:29

getting

2:21:29

taxed

2:21:30

on

2:21:30

that

2:21:30

if

2:21:30

you're

2:21:30

driving

2:21:30

more

2:21:30

miles

2:21:31

you're

2:21:31

spending

2:21:31

more

2:21:31

money

2:21:31

on

2:21:31

gas

2:21:32

so

2:21:32

you're

2:21:33

spending

2:21:33

more

2:21:33

money

2:21:33

on

2:21:33

tax

2:21:34

but

2:21:34

now

2:21:34

they're

2:21:35

taxing

2:21:35

on

2:21:35

top

2:21:36

of

2:21:36

that

2:21:36

which

2:21:37

is

2:21:37

essentially

2:21:37

they're

2:21:37

stealing

2:21:38

money

2:21:38

yeah

2:21:38

why can't

2:21:40

I find

2:21:40

it

2:21:41

forward

2:21:44

here

2:21:44

here

2:21:45

you go

2:21:46

hold on

2:21:46

a second

2:21:46

Jamie

2:21:48

you're on

2:21:48

you're on

2:21:50

signal

2:21:50

right

2:21:51

it is

2:21:57

really

2:21:57

interesting

2:21:58

how that

2:21:58

whole

2:21:58

thing

2:21:58

I sent

2:21:59

it to

2:21:59

your

2:21:59

amount

2:21:59

signal

2:22:00

but

2:22:01

it's

2:22:02

crazy

2:22:03

that

2:22:03

the

2:22:05

California

2:22:05

thing

2:22:05

is

2:22:05

bananas

2:22:06

it just

2:22:07

says

2:22:07

wow

2:22:07

that's

2:22:08

it

2:22:09

oh

2:22:09

it

2:22:09

doesn't

2:22:09

have

2:22:09

the

2:22:10

link

2:22:10

okay

2:22:11

hold on

2:22:12

sorry

2:22:12

huh

2:22:15

oh

2:22:16

maybe

2:22:16

this

2:22:16

is it

2:22:16

hold on

2:22:17

a second

2:22:17

I

2:22:22

think

2:22:22

there's

2:22:23

a really

2:22:23

interesting

2:22:23

underdeveloped

2:22:25

history

2:22:25

around

2:22:26

the

2:22:26

origins

2:22:26

of

2:22:27

the

2:22:27

climate

2:22:30

the

2:22:32

2006

2:22:33

2005

2:22:33

2006

2:22:34

2007

2:22:35

really

2:22:35

global

2:22:38

warming

2:22:39

climate

2:22:40

kind of

2:22:41

policy

2:22:41

push

2:22:42

from

2:22:42

the

2:22:42

US

2:22:42

government

2:22:43

that

2:22:44

became

2:22:44

a runaway

2:22:45

train

2:22:45

as

2:22:47

investor

2:22:47

money

2:22:47

rushed

2:22:48

in

2:22:48

it's

2:22:49

my

2:22:50

it's

2:22:50

my

2:22:50

opinion

2:22:51

and

2:22:51

I'm

2:22:52

open

2:22:52

minded

2:22:52

about

2:22:52

it

2:22:52

but

2:22:53

it

2:22:53

appears

2:22:54

to be

2:22:54

the

2:22:54

case

2:22:54

in

2:22:56

my

2:22:56

view

2:22:56

after

2:22:57

a

2:22:58

study

2:22:59

of

2:22:59

this

2:22:59

that

2:23:00

the

2:23:01

US

2:23:02

government

2:23:02

together

2:23:03

with

2:23:04

foreign

2:23:05

allies

2:23:06

pursued

2:23:06

this

2:23:07

kind

2:23:07

of

2:23:08

you

2:23:08

know

2:23:09

demonization

2:23:11

of

2:23:11

carbon

2:23:12

at a

2:23:12

real

2:23:12

policy

2:23:13

level

2:23:13

hydrocarbon

2:23:14

based

2:23:14

fuels

2:23:15

as

2:23:16

a

2:23:17

geopolitical

2:23:19

battering

2:23:19

ram

2:23:19

against

2:23:20

newly

2:23:21

resurgent

2:23:22

Russia

2:23:22

in the

2:23:23

mid

2:23:23

2000s

2:23:24

as

2:23:26

Putin

2:23:27

was

2:23:27

getting

2:23:28

power

2:23:29

back

2:23:29

over

2:23:30

a

2:23:30

bunch

2:23:30

of

2:23:31

post

2:23:31

post

2:23:33

Soviet

2:23:34

eastern

2:23:34

satellite

2:23:34

countries

2:23:35

through

2:23:35

basically

2:23:36

pipeline

2:23:37

exploiting

2:23:38

his

2:23:38

leverage

2:23:38

around

2:23:40

pipelines

2:23:40

and the

2:23:41

fact

2:23:41

that

2:23:41

you

2:23:41

know

2:23:41

this is

2:23:42

like

2:23:42

the

2:23:42

John

2:23:42

McCain

2:23:43

type

2:23:43

quote

2:23:43

right

2:23:44

that

2:23:44

Russia

2:23:44

is

2:23:45

a

2:23:45

gas

2:23:45

station

2:23:45

with

2:23:45

the

2:23:45

military

2:23:46

right

2:23:46

you

2:23:46

hear

2:23:47

that

2:23:47

a

2:23:47

lot

2:23:47

you

2:23:48

know

2:23:48

Gazprom

2:23:48

the

2:23:48

state

2:23:49

sponsored

2:23:49

oil

2:23:50

company

2:23:51

was

2:23:51

like

2:23:51

effectively

2:23:52

the

2:23:52

biggest

2:23:52

oil

2:23:53

company

2:23:53

in

2:23:54

well

2:23:54

Gazprom

2:23:55

was

2:23:55

for

2:23:55

gas

2:23:56

but

2:23:56

Rosneft

2:23:57

and

2:23:57

Russia

2:23:58

had

2:23:58

at one

2:23:59

point

2:23:59

the

2:23:59

largest

2:23:59

oil

2:24:00

you

2:24:01

know

2:24:02

exports

2:24:02

in the

2:24:03

world

2:24:03

it was

2:24:04

it was

2:24:04

the

2:24:04

motor

2:24:04

engine

2:24:05

of

2:24:05

their

2:24:05

economy

2:24:05

oil

2:24:06

and

2:24:06

gas

2:24:06

and

2:24:07

the

2:24:08

relationship

2:24:09

between

2:24:09

Russian

2:24:10

oligarchs

2:24:10

and

2:24:11

businessmen

2:24:11

and

2:24:12

Eastern

2:24:12

European

2:24:13

Russian

2:24:13

oligarchs

2:24:14

and

2:24:14

businessmen

2:24:15

allowed

2:24:15

that

2:24:17

hydrocarbon

2:24:17

based

2:24:18

dependency

2:24:20

and financial

2:24:21

opportunity

2:24:21

to let

2:24:22

Putin

2:24:23

reassert

2:24:23

Russian

2:24:24

control

2:24:24

over

2:24:25

Central

2:24:26

and

2:24:26

Eastern

2:24:26

European

2:24:26

countries

2:24:27

that

2:24:28

NATO

2:24:29

was trying

2:24:30

to

2:24:30

turn

2:24:31

into

2:24:31

Western

2:24:33

vassal

2:24:34

states

2:24:34

essentially

2:24:34

so you

2:24:35

had this

2:24:35

in the

2:24:36

1990s

2:24:37

this wasn't

2:24:37

an issue

2:24:38

because

2:24:38

Boris Yeltsin

2:24:39

was the

2:24:39

president

2:24:39

and he

2:24:40

was

2:24:40

effectively

2:24:41

an

2:24:44

adjunct

2:24:44

of

2:24:45

the

2:24:45

US

2:24:45

government

2:24:46

incidentally

2:24:47

through

2:24:48

Larry

2:24:49

Summers

2:24:49

and

2:24:49

the

2:24:50

Jeffrey

2:24:50

Epstein

2:24:50

Harvard

2:24:51

network

2:24:51

but

2:24:51

so there

2:24:53

became

2:24:53

this push

2:24:54

after

2:24:54

you know

2:24:56

Russia's

2:24:57

interventions

2:24:58

in Georgia

2:24:58

and the

2:24:59

like

2:24:59

and a

2:24:59

big

2:25:00

attack

2:25:00

on

2:25:00

a lot

2:25:01

of

2:25:01

you know

2:25:02

high

2:25:03

level

2:25:03

Republican

2:25:03

well

2:25:04

basically

2:25:06

I think

2:25:08

this push

2:25:10

to try

2:25:10

to create

2:25:11

a

2:25:12

shift

2:25:14

in

2:25:15

the types

2:25:16

of energy

2:25:16

the world

2:25:17

uses

2:25:18

was a way

2:25:19

to kneecap

2:25:20

Russia's

2:25:22

main source

2:25:23

of revenue

2:25:24

to ensure

2:25:25

that

2:25:26

the

2:25:27

the

2:25:28

Eurasia

2:25:31

the plan

2:25:33

to seize

2:25:33

political or

2:25:35

vassal state

2:25:35

control over

2:25:35

Eurasia

2:25:36

would continue

2:25:37

against

2:25:37

Putin's

2:25:38

new

2:25:38

nationalist

2:25:39

and global

2:25:41

resurgence

2:25:41

and this

2:25:43

includes a bunch

2:25:43

of crap

2:25:44

that in

2:25:44

2003-2004

2:25:45

but effectively

2:25:45

then you start

2:25:46

to see the

2:25:46

US government

2:25:46

champion these

2:25:47

hydrocarbon

2:25:48

policies

2:25:49

and you started

2:25:50

to see all

2:25:50

of these

2:25:51

international

2:25:52

forums

2:25:53

journals

2:25:53

regulators

2:25:55

openly talking

2:25:56

in this

2:25:57

mid-oughts

2:25:57

period

2:25:58

as Russia

2:25:58

was starting

2:25:59

to reclaim

2:26:00

political

2:26:01

influence

2:26:01

that

2:26:02

these

2:26:03

climate

2:26:04

policies

2:26:05

would be

2:26:07

a way

2:26:07

to stop

2:26:09

Russian

2:26:10

power and

2:26:10

influence

2:26:11

because it

2:26:11

would cripple

2:26:12

them

2:26:12

economically

2:26:12

they'd have

2:26:13

there'd be

2:26:14

nothing

2:26:15

there'd be

2:26:15

no business

2:26:16

you know

2:26:16

between

2:26:17

oligarchs

2:26:17

in the

2:26:18

different

2:26:18

countries

2:26:18

for them

2:26:19

to even

2:26:19

leverage

2:26:19

it would

2:26:20

effectively

2:26:21

allow us

2:26:22

to continue

2:26:22

the golden

2:26:23

age of

2:26:23

the uniparty

2:26:24

1990s

2:26:25

moment

2:26:25

and then

2:26:26

you saw

2:26:27

all these

2:26:28

government

2:26:28

subsidies

2:26:28

to it

2:26:29

you know

2:26:29

tax

2:26:30

benefits

2:26:31

like you

2:26:32

know

2:26:32

free money

2:26:33

basically

2:26:33

and then

2:26:35

it became

2:26:35

a runaway

2:26:35

as the

2:26:36

market

2:26:37

saw that

2:26:37

this was

2:26:38

a highly

2:26:39

protected

2:26:39

incentivized

2:26:40

space by

2:26:40

the US

2:26:40

government

2:26:41

they all

2:26:44

flooded

2:26:44

into

2:26:44

now they've

2:26:45

got a

2:26:45

sunk cost

2:26:45

if those

2:26:46

policies

2:26:46

change

2:26:47

you've

2:26:48

got

2:26:48

trillions

2:26:49

of dollars

2:26:49

in climate

2:26:50

finance

2:26:50

globally

2:26:51

right

2:26:51

and then

2:26:52

these

2:26:52

started

2:26:53

becoming

2:26:53

part of

2:26:53

like IMF

2:26:54

loan

2:26:54

you know

2:26:55

requirements

2:26:55

and

2:26:56

but now

2:26:57

it's like

2:26:58

even if

2:26:58

the science

2:26:59

is completely

2:26:59

wrong

2:27:00

what started

2:27:03

arguably

2:27:04

as a

2:27:05

kind of

2:27:05

you know

2:27:06

national

2:27:06

security

2:27:07

based

2:27:09

way

2:27:09

to force

2:27:10

energy

2:27:10

diversification

2:27:11

this is

2:27:11

what we

2:27:12

we put

2:27:12

Europe

2:27:13

through

2:27:13

the United

2:27:13

States

2:27:13

with the

2:27:14

sanctions

2:27:14

against

2:27:14

Russia

2:27:15

we force

2:27:16

them to

2:27:16

you know

2:27:17

divest

2:27:18

of oil and

2:27:19

gas

2:27:19

and invest

2:27:19

in a

2:27:19

basket

2:27:20

of

2:27:20

you know

2:27:21

alternative

2:27:21

energy

2:27:21

cleaner

2:27:22

energy

2:27:22

supplies

2:27:22

but now

2:27:24

it's

2:27:25

and they

2:27:25

and that

2:27:25

could be

2:27:26

justified

2:27:26

at the

2:27:27

national

2:27:27

security

2:27:28

level

2:27:28

with the

2:27:28

science

2:27:29

of this

2:27:29

actually

2:27:30

being the

2:27:31

case

2:27:31

so you

2:27:32

could sell

2:27:33

it to the

2:27:33

whole world

2:27:34

even if

2:27:36

even if you

2:27:37

prove that

2:27:37

false

2:27:38

at this point

2:27:39

there's

2:27:39

there's so much

2:27:40

infrastructure

2:27:40

built up

2:27:42

that

2:27:42

you know

2:27:44

you have

2:27:45

this network

2:27:46

you have

2:27:46

hedge funds

2:27:47

you know

2:27:48

you got

2:27:49

I mean

2:27:49

Bill Gates

2:27:50

has a

2:27:50

climate

2:27:51

fund

2:27:51

Al Gore

2:27:53

is a

2:27:53

billionaire

2:27:54

from

2:27:54

this one

2:27:55

Tom

2:27:55

Steyer

2:27:56

one of the

2:27:56

biggest

2:27:56

investors

2:27:57

in DNC

2:27:58

the climate

2:27:59

2:27:59

2:27:59

Michael

2:28:00

Bills

2:28:00

who

2:28:00

funded

2:28:01

the CIA

2:28:02

governor

2:28:02

of Virginia

2:28:03

Abigail

2:28:03

Spanberg

2:28:04

and

2:28:04

and

2:28:05

then the

2:28:05

momentum

2:28:06

of the

2:28:06

it's

2:28:06

sort of

2:28:07

an

2:28:07

unstoppable

2:28:08

social

2:28:08

narrative

2:28:09

now

2:28:09

right

2:28:09

well

2:28:10

and

2:28:10

it's

2:28:10

and

2:28:10

the

2:28:11

thing

2:28:11

that's

2:28:11

terrifying

2:28:12

about

2:28:12

it

2:28:12

is

2:28:12

that

2:28:13

it

2:28:13

has

2:28:14

conjoined

2:28:14

the

2:28:14

diplomatic

2:28:15

muscle

2:28:16

of

2:28:16

the

2:28:17

American

2:28:17

government

2:28:18

and

2:28:18

whatever

2:28:19

allies

2:28:19

abroad

2:28:20

with

2:28:21

private

2:28:22

finance

2:28:23

like

2:28:23

for

2:28:23

example

2:28:23

like

2:28:24

we

2:28:25

overthrew

2:28:25

the

2:28:26

government

2:28:26

of

2:28:26

Bangladesh

2:28:26

in

2:28:27

2024

2:28:27

the

2:28:28

Biden

2:28:28

administration

2:28:28

did

2:28:29

they ran

2:28:29

this

2:28:29

whole

2:28:30

coup

2:28:30

they did

2:28:31

it

2:28:31

through

2:28:31

the

2:28:31

National

2:28:31

Endowment

2:28:31

for

2:28:31

Democracy

2:28:32

CIA

2:28:33

cut out

2:28:34

and a

2:28:34

million

2:28:35

other

2:28:35

orgs

2:28:35

on

2:28:35

the

2:28:35

ground

2:28:35

it

2:28:36

was

2:28:36

a

2:28:36

color

2:28:36

revolution

2:28:36

street

2:28:37

protest

2:28:37

you

2:28:38

know

2:28:38

I

2:28:38

think

2:28:38

we

2:28:38

may

2:28:39

have

2:28:39

talked

2:28:40

about

2:28:40

this

2:28:40

last

2:28:40

time

2:28:41

where

2:28:41

literally

2:28:42

the

2:28:42

CIA

2:28:44

sock

2:28:46

puppet

2:28:46

National

2:28:46

Endowment

2:28:47

for

2:28:47

Democracy

2:28:47

sponsored

2:28:48

like

2:28:49

rap

2:28:49

music

2:28:49

videos

2:28:50

and

2:28:50

produced

2:28:51

them

2:28:52

and put

2:28:52

them

2:28:52

on

2:28:52

YouTube

2:28:53

and

2:28:53

then

2:28:54

worked

2:28:55

with

2:28:55

the

2:28:55

unions

2:28:55

set

2:28:56

up

2:28:56

like

2:28:56

transgender

2:28:57

dance

2:28:57

festivals

2:28:58

to try

2:28:58

to get

2:28:59

the LGBT

2:29:00

community

2:29:01

on board

2:29:01

against

2:29:02

the

2:29:02

government

2:29:02

and

2:29:02

then

2:29:02

giant

2:29:03

riots

2:29:04

they

2:29:04

install

2:29:04

it's

2:29:05

effectively

2:29:05

a

2:29:06

but

2:29:06

part

2:29:07

of the

2:29:07

thing

2:29:07

that

2:29:08

they

2:29:08

leaned

2:29:09

on

2:29:09

in

2:29:09

the

2:29:09

post

2:29:09

transition

2:29:10

government

2:29:10

is

2:29:10

to

2:29:11

agree

2:29:12

to

2:29:12

these

2:29:13

basically

2:29:15

like

2:29:16

climate

2:29:16

finance

2:29:17

reforms

2:29:17

and

2:29:18

you

2:29:19

can

2:29:19

just

2:29:20

like

2:29:21

the

2:29:21

CIA

2:29:22

and

2:29:22

the

2:29:22

oil

2:29:23

industry

2:29:23

became

2:29:24

completely

2:29:24

inseparable

2:29:25

completely

2:29:26

inseparable

2:29:26

I mean

2:29:27

George Bush

2:29:28

for example

2:29:28

Zapata Energy

2:29:29

Offshore

2:29:29

and the

2:29:30

whole

2:29:30

Texas

2:29:31

oil

2:29:31

thing

2:29:32

to then

2:29:34

becoming

2:29:34

the

2:29:34

Central

2:29:34

Intelligence

2:29:35

Agency

2:29:35

I mean

2:29:36

Trump's

2:29:37

first

2:29:37

Secretary

2:29:37

of State

2:29:37

was Rex Tillerson

2:29:38

Rex Tillerson

2:29:39

never worked

2:29:39

in government

2:29:40

the Secretary

2:29:41

of State

2:29:41

oversees

2:29:42

the CIA

2:29:42

he's got

2:29:42

the whole

2:29:43

CIA portfolio

2:29:43

how does

2:29:44

you know

2:29:44

well

2:29:45

he was the

2:29:46

chairman

2:29:46

and CEO

2:29:47

of Exxon

2:29:47

Mobile

2:29:48

you can't

2:29:50

the CIA

2:29:51

and the

2:29:51

US military

2:29:51

creates the

2:29:52

market

2:29:53

for oil

2:29:54

companies

2:29:54

you can't

2:29:54

get access

2:29:55

to the

2:29:55

oil

2:29:55

unless

2:29:56

you

2:29:57

either

2:29:57

overthrow

2:29:58

a government

2:29:58

or support

2:29:59

against

2:30:00

an insurgency

2:30:00

political movement

2:30:01

one that will

2:30:02

guarantee you

2:30:02

favorable terms

2:30:03

you know

2:30:04

access

2:30:05

yada yada

2:30:05

the whole market

2:30:06

and then

2:30:07

the CIA

2:30:08

and DOD

2:30:08

people will

2:30:09

rotate into

2:30:10

board seats

2:30:10

on those

2:30:11

oil companies

2:30:11

and so

2:30:12

it becomes

2:30:13

inseparable

2:30:13

and my fear

2:30:14

about this

2:30:15

is that

2:30:15

over the past

2:30:16

10 years

2:30:17

the same

2:30:17

thing has

2:30:18

started to

2:30:18

happen

2:30:18

with the

2:30:20

client

2:30:21

the sort

2:30:22

of you know

2:30:22

clean energy

2:30:23

side

2:30:24

of the

2:30:25

you know

2:30:27

of big

2:30:28

energy companies

2:30:29

like in

2:30:29

big oil

2:30:31

and CIA

2:30:31

big oil

2:30:32

and CIA

2:30:32

for a

2:30:33

century

2:30:33

now you

2:30:34

have like

2:30:35

big climate

2:30:36

and CIA

2:30:37

because there's

2:30:38

so much

2:30:38

money

2:30:39

it's

2:30:39

energy

2:30:39

it's

2:30:40

the master

2:30:40

resource

2:30:40

and so

2:30:41

now you've

2:30:42

got

2:30:42

you know

2:30:43

what appears

2:30:44

to me

2:30:44

CIA

2:30:45

intervention

2:30:46

in part

2:30:47

like some

2:30:48

of these

2:30:48

things you

2:30:48

have to

2:30:48

wonder

2:30:49

why did

2:30:49

the

2:30:50

Biden

2:30:50

CIA

2:30:51

try to

2:30:52

overthrow

2:30:54

the Bolsonaro

2:30:54

government

2:30:55

in Brazil

2:30:55

this was a

2:30:56

pro-U.S.

2:30:56

political

2:30:58

party

2:30:59

it was a

2:30:59

the

2:31:00

the person

2:31:01

you know

2:31:02

Lula

2:31:02

was

2:31:02

tied at the

2:31:04

hip with

2:31:04

China

2:31:05

divested

2:31:05

from all

2:31:05

these

2:31:06

U.S.

2:31:06

contracts

2:31:07

you know

2:31:08

massively

2:31:09

reduced

2:31:09

the

2:31:10

you know

2:31:11

the

2:31:11

footprint

2:31:11

of

2:31:12

U.S.

2:31:13

aligned

2:31:14

policies

2:31:15

in the

2:31:16

second biggest

2:31:16

country

2:31:17

country

2:31:17

in our

2:31:18

hemisphere

2:31:18

and well

2:31:20

you know

2:31:21

Brazil just

2:31:21

announced

2:31:22

like this

2:31:22

1.3

2:31:23

trillion

2:31:23

dollar

2:31:24

climate

2:31:24

finance

2:31:24

initiative

2:31:25

and you

2:31:26

know

2:31:26

all of

2:31:27

these

2:31:27

people

2:31:27

are

2:31:28

all

2:31:29

these

2:31:29

New York

2:31:29

hedge

2:31:30

funds

2:31:30

and

2:31:30

London

2:31:31

banks

2:31:31

who've

2:31:32

skated

2:31:32

towards

2:31:32

this

2:31:32

are

2:31:33

in

2:31:33

on

2:31:33

that

2:31:34

you

2:31:34

have

2:31:34

I mean

2:31:35

this is

2:31:36

a crazy

2:31:36

case

2:31:37

you know

2:31:38

one of

2:31:38

the biggest

2:31:38

beneficiaries

2:31:39

of

2:31:39

the post

2:31:41

coup

2:31:41

Lula's

2:31:42

government

2:31:42

in Brazil

2:31:43

were all

2:31:44

of the

2:31:45

clean

2:31:46

ethanol

2:31:46

George Soros

2:31:48

is longest

2:31:48

standing

2:31:48

equity

2:31:49

investment

2:31:49

at that

2:31:50

point

2:31:51

was a

2:31:51

company

2:31:51

called

2:31:52

Ataco

2:31:52

Agra

2:31:52

which

2:31:53

did

2:31:54

clean

2:31:54

ethanol

2:31:55

fuel

2:31:56

alternatives

2:31:57

the

2:31:58

problem

2:31:58

is

2:31:58

it's

2:31:59

part

2:32:00

of

2:32:00

its

2:32:00

business

2:32:00

part

2:32:01

of

2:32:01

it

2:32:01

is

2:32:01

it's

2:32:01

not

2:32:02

competitive

2:32:02

on

2:32:03

price

2:32:03

with

2:32:03

diesel

2:32:05

based

2:32:06

fuels

2:32:07

so

2:32:07

the only

2:32:08

way

2:32:08

to

2:32:08

compete

2:32:09

and win

2:32:10

that market

2:32:10

and make

2:32:11

millions

2:32:11

of dollars

2:32:11

is if

2:32:12

the government

2:32:12

imposes

2:32:13

a mandate

2:32:15

a quota

2:32:16

that forces

2:32:17

people to buy

2:32:18

your product

2:32:18

well

2:32:19

George Soros

2:32:20

co-sponsored

2:32:20

those

2:32:21

CIA adjacent

2:32:22

national down

2:32:23

for democracy

2:32:24

operations

2:32:25

all over

2:32:25

Brazil

2:32:25

well

2:32:27

he's

2:32:27

you know

2:32:27

holding

2:32:28

an equity

2:32:28

interest

2:32:29

in the

2:32:29

thing

2:32:30

that

2:32:30

day

2:32:30

one

2:32:30

there's

2:32:31

an

2:32:31

imposed

2:32:31

mandate

2:32:32

to use

2:32:32

those

2:32:33

climate

2:32:34

products

2:32:34

it's the

2:32:34

same

2:32:35

thing

2:32:35

in

2:32:35

Africa

2:32:35

you have

2:32:36

like

2:32:36

CIA

2:32:37

regime

2:32:38

change

2:32:38

to force

2:32:39

clean

2:32:39

energy

2:32:39

companies

2:32:39

so that

2:32:40

the people

2:32:40

who

2:32:40

sponsor

2:32:41

the

2:32:41

donors

2:32:43

who

2:32:43

sponsor

2:32:44

the

2:32:44

politicians

2:32:44

who

2:32:45

pick

2:32:45

the

2:32:45

staff

2:32:46

of

2:32:46

the

2:32:46

CIA

2:32:46

enact

2:32:48

policies

2:32:48

that makes

2:32:49

money

2:32:49

for those

2:32:49

hedge funds

2:32:50

invested

2:32:50

in

2:32:51

climate

2:32:51

finance

2:32:52

so

2:32:53

fucked

2:32:54

up

2:32:54

I think

2:32:55

that's

2:32:55

what's

2:32:55

happening

2:32:55

in

2:32:55

California

2:32:56

without

2:32:57

the

2:32:57

regime

2:32:57

change

2:32:58

element

2:32:58

I think

2:32:58

you have

2:33:02

investors

2:33:02

who

2:33:03

profit

2:33:04

from this

2:33:05

and the

2:33:05

only way

2:33:05

those

2:33:05

investments

2:33:06

can be

2:33:06

profitable

2:33:07

is if

2:33:08

government

2:33:08

imposes

2:33:09

mandates

2:33:10

quotas

2:33:10

and bans

2:33:11

on the

2:33:12

alternatives

2:33:13

to that

2:33:13

product

2:33:13

I mean

2:33:14

that's

2:33:14

kind of

2:33:14

the way

2:33:14

the

2:33:14

vaccine

2:33:15

market

2:33:15

works

2:33:15

do you

2:33:18

get that

2:33:18

link

2:33:19

yeah

2:33:19

should we

2:33:26

2:33:27

2:33:28

they just

2:33:31

set up

2:33:31

their little

2:33:32

15 minute

2:33:32

city

2:33:33

and they

2:33:34

2:33:34

2:33:35

2:33:36

you get

2:33:48

equivalent

of $93

2:33:49

2:33:50

and if

15 minute

a day

2:34:07

and how

2:34:08

are they

2:34:09

tracking

2:34:09

all this

2:34:09

oh

2:34:09

there's

2:34:09

not

2:34:10

a man

2:34:10

at the

2:34:10

gate

2:34:11

they're

2:34:11

not

2:34:12

writing

2:34:13

up

2:34:13

tickets

2:34:13

or having

2:34:14

police

2:34:14

officers

2:34:14

oh no

2:34:15

they are

2:34:15

monitoring

2:34:16

you

2:34:16

with

2:34:16

digital

2:34:17

AI

2:34:18

surveillance

2:34:18

and cameras

2:34:19

and then

2:34:20

they're

2:34:20

automatically

2:34:21

finding you

2:34:21

this is why

2:34:22

we have

2:34:22

to be

2:34:23

against

2:34:23

the

2:34:23

flock

2:34:23

cameras

2:34:24

in the

2:34:25

United

2:34:25

2:34:25

they're

2:34:25

not

2:34:25

just

2:34:25

speed

2:34:26

trap

2:34:26

cameras

2:34:27

this is

2:34:27

why we

2:34:27

have

2:34:27

to be

2:34:28

against

2:34:28

the

2:34:28

Palantir

2:34:28

whole of

2:34:29

government

2:34:29

database

2:34:29

this is

2:34:30

why we

2:34:30

have

2:34:31

to

2:34:31

stand

2:34:31

up

2:34:31

and

2:34:31

raise

2:34:32

awareness

2:34:32

and bring

2:34:33

attention

2:34:33

to

2:34:34

these

2:34:34

matters

2:34:34

instead

2:34:34

of

2:34:34

arguing

2:34:35

with

2:34:35

each

2:34:35

other

2:34:35

and

2:34:36

NPCs

2:34:36

on

2:34:37

the

2:34:37

internet

2:34:37

over

2:34:38

left

2:34:44

right

2:34:45

now

2:34:45

divide

2:34:46

and

2:34:47

conquer

2:34:47

we are

2:34:47

in the

2:34:47

division

2:34:48

part

2:34:48

of the

2:34:48

2:34:49

and

2:34:49

conquer

2:34:49

agenda

2:34:50

conquer

2:34:51

is

2:34:51

next

2:34:51

you

2:34:52

think

2:34:52

it's

2:34:52

bad

2:34:53

now

2:34:53

wait

2:34:53

till

2:34:53

you

2:34:53

have

2:34:53

to

2:34:53

pay

2:34:53

a hundred

2:34:54

dollars

2:34:54

a day

2:34:55

to leave

2:34:55

your

2:34:55

15-minute

2:34:56

city

2:34:56

conspiracy

2:34:57

right

2:34:59

so

2:35:00

only

2:35:00

rich

2:35:00

people

2:35:01

are

2:35:01

going

2:35:01

to

2:35:01

be

2:35:01

able

2:35:02

to

2:35:02

afford

2:35:02

that

2:35:02

it's

2:35:02

just

2:35:02

like

2:35:03

the

2:35:03

meat

2:35:03

thing

2:35:03

right

2:35:04

it's

2:35:04

like

2:35:04

you

2:35:05

know

2:35:05

the

2:35:06

the

2:35:06

irony

2:35:08

of

2:35:09

you

2:35:09

know

2:35:09

Australia

2:35:10

being

2:35:10

a prison

2:35:11

colony

2:35:11

and now

2:35:12

you've

2:35:12

got

2:35:12

now

2:35:13

it's

2:35:13

like

2:35:13

the

2:35:13

homeland

2:35:14

in

2:35:14

the

2:35:14

UK

2:35:15

but

2:35:15

I

2:35:15

mean

2:35:16

look

2:35:16

the

2:35:16

UK

2:35:16

just

2:35:17

got

2:35:17

rid

2:35:17

of

2:35:17

jury

2:35:18

trials

2:35:18

for

2:35:18

a

2:35:19

lot

2:35:19

of

2:35:19

cases

2:35:19

and

2:35:20

yeah

2:35:20

you

2:35:21

know

2:35:21

as

2:35:22

12,000

2:35:23

speech

2:35:23

arrests

2:35:24

a

2:35:24

year

2:35:24

and

2:35:24

some

2:35:25

people

2:35:25

arrested

2:35:25

for

2:35:26

what

2:35:26

seems

2:35:26

like

2:35:26

even

2:35:26

holding

2:35:27

up

2:35:27

their

2:35:27

own

2:35:27

country's

2:35:28

flag

2:35:28

at

2:35:28

an

2:35:28

opportune

2:35:28

moment

2:35:29

or

2:35:29

silently

2:35:29

praying

2:35:30

and

2:35:31

you

2:35:32

know

2:35:32

we

2:35:33

need

2:35:33

to

2:35:34

liberate

2:35:34

the

2:35:35

British

2:35:35

people

2:35:36

I

2:35:36

mean

2:35:37

it's

2:35:37

it's

2:35:37

it's

2:35:38

unbelievable

2:35:39

that

2:35:39

I

2:35:41

mean

2:35:41

they

2:35:42

call it

2:35:42

perfidious

2:35:43

Albion

2:35:43

right

2:35:43

British

2:35:44

statecraft

2:35:45

has been

2:35:45

so

2:35:46

pernicious

2:35:47

to the

2:35:48

American

2:35:48

people

2:35:48

in the

2:35:49

past

2:35:49

the

2:36:55

the

USA

2:36:56

would

2:36:57

effectively

help

throttle

2:36:59

misinformation

2:37:00

in the

2:37:01

2:37:01

2:37:01

like

2:37:02

basically

2:37:02

it

2:37:03

was

2:37:03

like

2:37:05

you

2:37:06

scratch

2:37:07

we'll

2:37:07

scratch

2:37:08

yours

2:37:08

and

2:37:08

it

2:37:08

was

2:37:08

this

2:37:09

you

2:37:10

know

2:37:10

US

2:37:11

Democrat

2:37:11

UK

2:37:12

labor

2:37:13

meanwhile

2:37:14

the

2:37:14

Biden

2:37:14

2:37:15

was

2:37:15

paying

2:37:16

British

2:37:16

censors

2:37:17

they

2:37:18

the

2:37:18

global

2:37:19

index

2:37:20

which

2:37:20

you

2:37:21

know

2:37:21

killed

2:37:22

like

2:37:23

the

2:37:23

ad

2:37:23

you

2:37:24

know

2:37:24

revenue

2:37:24

for

2:37:24

like

2:37:25

they

2:37:25

went

2:37:25

after

2:37:25

Daily Wire

2:37:26

Federalist

2:37:27

a million

2:37:28

conservative

2:37:29

news sites

2:37:30

and social

2:37:30

media

2:37:30

accounts

2:37:31

you

2:37:31

went

2:37:31

after

2:37:32

the

2:37:32

social

2:37:32

media

2:37:32

platforms

2:37:33

in

2:37:33

the

2:37:33

United

2:37:33

States

2:37:33

they're

2:37:34

British

2:37:34

black

2:37:35

ops

2:37:36

by their

2:37:36

own

2:37:36

language

2:37:37

well

2:37:38

CCDH

2:37:39

but

2:37:39

they were

2:37:41

funded by

2:37:41

our

2:37:42

government

2:37:42

to censor

2:37:43

our voices

2:37:44

but laundered

2:37:45

out to

2:37:45

the UK

2:37:45

and I

2:37:47

think we

2:37:47

need to

2:37:47

fundamentally

2:37:47

restructure

2:37:49

that special

2:37:50

relationship

2:37:50

we've had

2:37:51

that relationship

2:37:51

for a long

2:37:52

time

2:37:52

totally

2:37:53

unquestioned

2:37:53

and I

2:37:55

we can't

2:37:58

farm that

2:37:59

out

2:37:59

and if

2:38:01

that's not

2:38:02

addressed

2:38:03

and we

2:38:03

don't

2:38:04

fix that

2:38:05

relationship

2:38:05

I think

2:38:07

you can't

2:38:08

really fix

2:38:08

our own

2:38:08

system

2:38:09

unless we

2:38:10

you know

2:38:11

cut out

2:38:13

some of the

2:38:14

poison

2:38:14

that we

2:38:15

inject

2:38:16

from the

2:38:16

outside

2:38:16

Mike

2:38:18

we

2:38:18

gave

2:38:18

people

2:38:19

a lot

2:38:20

to go

2:38:20

over

2:38:20

almost

2:38:21

too

2:38:21

much

2:38:22

but

2:38:22

you

2:38:23

2:38:23

2:38:24

and we

2:38:43

are seeing

2:38:44

behind a

2:38:45

looking glass

2:38:45

where there

2:38:46

has been

2:38:46

a veil

2:38:46

of secrecy

2:38:47

for 60

2:38:48

2:38:49

2:38:49
