In this episode, we take a deeper dive into the dark side of the Foreign Consulate system, including spying, subversion, and terrorism. We find evidence that the Saudi Arabia consulate in Los Angeles was directly involved in assisting two of the 9/11 hijackers, and that it was funded and coordinated by Saudi government officials. We also learn that the consulates in America are not just places for diplomatic and consular services, they are places for espionage, sabotage, and financial support for terrorist activities.

00:00:03.000Matt Gaetz was one of the very few members in the entire Congress who bothered to stand up against permanent Washington on behalf of his constituents.
00:00:10.000Matt Gaetz right now, he's a problem in the Democratic Party.
00:00:13.000He could cause a lot of hiccups in passing the laws.
00:00:16.000So we're going to keep running those stories to keep hurting him.
00:00:20.000If you stand for the flag and kneel in prayer, if you want to build America up and not burn her to the ground, then welcome, my fellow patriots!
00:01:15.000Foreign Consulates, well, they've been behaving badly in our country.
00:01:19.000Think of them as junior embassies, operation centers, Foreign nations maintain these consulates throughout America in population centers like New York, Miami, Chicago, LA. And the people who work at foreign consulates, they're not independent actors.
00:01:36.000They're not out doing their own thing.
00:01:38.000They are paid, tasked, and directed by a foreign power.
00:01:43.000They do their bidding, often receiving orders from secure cables.
00:01:48.000Now, we're told they do ministerial helpful things, resolve visa issues, assist expatriates, facilitate commerce, and surely that stuff does happen.
00:01:58.000But harmless paperwork pushing is not the only thing going on at foreign consulates in America.
00:02:06.000Espionage, subversion, theft, recruitment, information warfare, and catastrophic terrorism.
00:02:14.000National Interest published a piece recently entitled, How China Is Using Espionage to Dethrone the U.S. They Shed Light on What Is Really Happening at Consulates.
00:02:25.000Official cover is when an intelligence officer is assigned to an embassy or consulate under a diplomatic role, in addition to their diplomatic duties.
00:02:33.000These officers perform their intelligence duties during the day or at night, and they do enjoy diplomatic immunity if they are caught.
00:02:42.000Trump had to close a Chinese consulate in Houston.
00:02:45.000It was a hub of intellectual property theft.
00:02:49.000And where did one of the CCP spies run when busted, stealing from our universities?
00:02:59.000Russia's consulate in Seattle was crawling with so many spies, President Trump had to shut it down and actually had to expel the personnel from America.
00:03:09.000Foreign consulates have a sinister side.
00:03:13.000The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia deserves intense focus on this exact front.
00:03:19.000President Joe Biden recently ordered the declassification of documents evidencing Saudi Arabia's 9-11 connections.
00:03:27.000Though Biden did this under political pressure from 9-11 families who were going to exclude him from 9-11 ceremonies, we enthusiastically endorse this declassification.
00:03:42.000Saudi Arabia's Los Angeles consulate was directly involved in assisting two 9-11 hijackers.
00:03:49.000Housing, bank accounts, logistics, their American experience, coordinated and curated by Saudi government officials.
00:03:59.000Did I mention 15 of the 19 9-11 hijackers were Saudi?
00:04:04.000As you can see on this chart, Omar al-Bayomi and Fahad al-Tumari are top dogs in this uncovered, Saudi Arabia-supported, Los Angeles-based terror network.
00:04:23.000Al-Bayomi was the advance team for two of the 9-11 hijackers, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mindhar.
00:04:31.000They had nowhere to live, fresh from the desert, probably still had sand in between the pages of their Quran, and Al-Bayomi secured their housing.
00:04:41.000After meeting both of the terrorists at the Mediterranean Grill in 2000, Al-Bayomi finds them an apartment in San Diego.
00:04:49.000He even signed financial documents to secure that apartment and bank accounts.
00:04:56.000On the record, Biomi declares this a chance encounter.
00:05:00.000Now, I've had a lot of chance encounters in my life, and some of those I certainly regret.
00:05:05.000But chance encounters typically don't start with kebabs and hummus and end with opening bank accounts together or signing financial guarantees to lock in rent agreements.
00:05:17.000I wouldn't even co-sign a rent agreement for most of my friends, much less a chance encounter at a terrorist hangout.
00:05:24.000We are supposed to believe that the Saudi government officials who opened bank accounts with two terrorists and secured housing for terrorists were somehow not involved when those very jihadists flew planes into buildings.
00:05:38.000Oh, and speaking of flying planes, a search of al-Bayomi's belongings revealed an aviation diagram that he produced for two of the 9-11 hijackers.
00:05:49.000The diagram models the exact aerial descent that Flight 77 took in pursuit to striking the Pentagon.
00:05:57.000And American Airlines Flight 77 is the exact same plane that Al Biomi's terrorist contacts hijacked.
00:06:25.000The aforementioned Mediterranean Grill, which hosted this infamous chance encounter, is basically a terrorist four-square check-in, by the way.
00:06:33.000The FBI report mentions that one of the individuals affiliated with the grill worked as a facilitator for the Armed Islamic Group, the GIA, and is associated with the Salafest Group for Preaching and Combat.
00:06:46.000That's the GAPC. Now, both of these groups evolved into al-Qaeda and the Islamic Maghreb.
00:06:54.000And, of course, the Mediterranean Grill is linked to the Saudi Consulate through Saudi official Fahad al-Tumri.
00:07:00.000Fahad al-Tumri is an accredited diplomat at the L.A. Saudi Arabia Consulate, and he led an extremist faction as the imam of the King Fahd Mosque.
00:07:10.000In 1999, a seven-minute phone call occurred between Al-Tumri and the Saudi Arabian family, home phone, of two of the brothers later detained in Guantanamo Bay.
00:07:22.000Together, Al-Tumri and Al-Bayomi provided English translation, employment, assistance in acquiring driver's licenses, locating flight lessons, and hijacker housing for the 9-11 attackers.
00:07:38.000Certainly it couldn't have involved the self-proclaimed close and critical ally for the United States in the fight against terrorism, Saudi Arabia.
00:07:47.000See, one of the biggest discoveries that we've seen through these recently uncovered documents is that the Saudi government officials were working with the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs at the Washington, D.C. Embassy, and they were involved in giving directions to al-Tumari and Bayoumi.
00:08:04.000And those were the individuals supporting the terrorist network.
00:08:10.000He's a mid-level Saudi Foreign Ministry official and was assigned to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C. in 1999 and 2000. His duties included overseeing the activities of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, and it was those employees that were participating at Saudi-funded mosques and Islamic centers within the United States.
00:08:32.000According to FBI sources who pushed back against the official Saudi-covering narrative, Jara participated in numerous calls with al-Tumri and al-Bayomi in assistance to the hijackers Mindahar and Hazmi.
00:08:48.000It was believed that they may have discussed the very assistance that al-Bayomi and al-Tumri were in fact providing to these hijackers.
00:08:57.000And so now, the 9-11 families are suing the kingdom.
00:09:00.000And they'd be a lot further along in that litigation if the U.S. government would stop blocking access to the evidence that further details Saudi's involvement.
00:09:11.000Here's Jim Kreinler, attorney for the 9-11 families, on Tucker Carlson Tonight.
00:09:16.000The last administrations, Directors Mueller and Comey and President Obama fought against the families and maintained a cover-up to cover up the FBI's own intelligence failures.
00:09:28.000The FBI had identified the two lead hijackers in January of 2000 in the United States, was monitoring them, and was monitoring the Saudi government officials that were helping them.
00:09:41.000The FBI, the intelligence community, lost them.
00:09:48.000This was an enormous embarrassment to the intelligence community and the bureau, and they tried to hide the truth from the families.
00:09:57.000Moreover, President Obama tried to stop the families from even being able to sue Saudi Arabia and show to the world how officials in the Ministry of Islamic Affairs And we've now identified 11 Saudi government officials were the accomplices that provided the help Al Qaeda needed to mount the attacks.
00:10:22.000That was done by the last president to try and get Saudi Arabia not to oppose the Iran nuclear deal.
00:10:32.000So for 18 years, until this president, you've had presidents and FBI directors who stood with Saudi Arabia, and the families have had to fight not only Saudi Arabia with its trillions of dollars and enormous power, but our own FBI and the last president.
00:10:55.000The United States of America should not be engaged in a cover-up for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
00:11:01.000The victims of the actions of the Kingdom are American.
00:11:05.000And we should be on their side, exposing the truth and demanding accountability, financial accountability and otherwise.
00:11:14.000In August, a letter sent to the White House and signed by 1600 family members of the 9-11 victims called for the declassification of all remaining 9-11 documents, which will further link the Saudi Arabian government to the 9-11 attacks.
00:11:29.000This was followed by the introduction of the September 11th Transparency Act of 2021, which I am a proud co-sponsor of and fully support.
00:11:38.000This bill demanded declassification of the investigation documents concerning the foreign support for the terrorist attacks of 9-11.
00:11:48.000Now, this legislation hasn't been called up for a hearing.
00:12:00.000In the FBI's mandated release of these documents, they are redacting a whole hell of a lot of names in 16 pages that we're now able to see.
00:12:19.000But if we rely on our intelligence agencies, we will never get to the bottom of it.
00:12:24.000Sadly, the United States intelligence agencies are complicit in the cover-up of Saudi Arabia's official assistance of the 9-11 hijackers.
00:12:33.000Special Agent Jackie McGuire was operating under now disgraced former FBI Director Bob Mueller.
00:12:39.000She had the nerve to tell Congress in 2004 that that terrorist lunch meeting at the Mediterranean Grill was indeed a chance encounter.
00:12:49.000Just to take a step back and start from the beginning, kind of run through a chronology of our interest in Fahad al-Thumari.
00:12:59.000After September 11th, information was developed that the two hijackers had lived in San Diego, The name Omar Albayumi came up in your staff statement.
00:13:09.000Our investigation has determined that Albayumi had met the hijackers.
00:13:15.000All indications is that that meeting was a random encounter.
00:13:20.000You're talking about the meeting at lunch?
00:13:21.000Yes, in a restaurant in Los Angeles on February 1st of 2000. After that, a few days later, they move to San Diego, and Albayumi assists them in getting an apartment at that time.
00:13:47.000But as cover-ups go, this one came from the top echelons of the system.
00:13:52.000The hard-working FBI field agents who were investigating the case, well, they were met with constant pushback from FBI headquarters in Washington.
00:14:01.000The most political building in Washington, D.C. is the J. Edgar Hoover building.
00:14:07.000A New York Times magazine article from January last year describes how one field officer, Daniel Gonzalez, he was in the San Diego office and was blocked in his investigation at every turn.
00:14:20.000During the last 15 years of his FBI career, Gonzalez was a central figure in the Bureau's effort to understand the Saudi connections to 9-11.
00:14:29.000But even on the inside, Gonzalez often felt as if our own government wanted no part of what he was finding.
00:14:37.000From the day of the attacks, the trail seemed to point to Saudi Arabia.
00:14:42.000But as the details of the 9-11 plot came into focus, the FBI line on possible Saudi involvement begins to shift.
00:14:50.000Low-level Saudi government officials with no ties to anyone important.
00:14:55.000Well, they may have helped some hijackers in California, but there's no indication that they knew that these men were terrorists, much less planning on murdering thousands of Americans.
00:15:05.000But according to current and former officials, requests for assistance that might have rattled the Saudi security agencies were frequently balanced against the FBI and the CIA's need for Saudi help abroad.
00:15:38.000What's baffling to me is how there is resilient, bipartisan support for maintaining this relationship with one of the creepiest, most repressive nations on Earth when we're energy independent.
00:15:51.000Well, because they trade in the US, they trade oil in the US dollar.
00:15:54.000I mean, if, if you really want to have a little truth talk about Saudi Arabia, it's that we need them selling oil in the US dollar in order to maintain the dominance of the dollar and to be able to make our sanctions effective elsewhere in the world, especially among oil producing nations.
00:16:07.000The petrodollar, Saudi Arabia's oil production is exchanged in dollars and that's been underlying the world's economy for decades.
00:16:17.000The bottom line here is that with evidence that Saudi Arabia's government might have aided in the planning and execution of the 9-11 atrocities, the Saudis could probably rest assured that the interests of the petrodollar system, coupled with the ever-growing grift of the American military-industrial complex,
00:16:34.000well, that would overwhelm any damning evidence that might negatively impact this long-standing and highly lucrative relationship between the American elite And they're Saudi counterparts, all government connected.
00:16:50.000The only thing standing between plausible and convincing questions and irrevocable conclusion on Saudi Arabia's involvement in 9-11 rests with the FBI deciding to release the complete truth.
00:17:09.000Meanwhile, as information involving Saudi Arabian government officials has been slowly trickling out into the public, we remain the country's best friend.
00:17:19.000Now, I've called on the Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, to close the Los Angeles-Saudi Arabian consulate.
00:17:28.000When countries like Russia and China subvert our...
00:17:33.000When they direct actions against our interests, we closed their Seattle and their Houston consulates.
00:17:40.000There should be no special exemption for Saudi Arabia, especially not just based on the petrodollar.
00:17:46.000It's now clear that Saudi Arabia harbored and protected some of the most radical clerics who preached the same interpretations of the Quran as the leaders of Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and ISIS. Saudi funding expanded the religious schools around Pakistan where young men were indoctrinated in these fundamental violent incarnations of Islam.
00:18:12.000Spousal rape isn't a crime, and they throw gay people off of buildings.
00:18:16.000So I don't think that closing their consulate in San Diego, in Los Angeles, in any of these places would be the worst thing.
00:18:23.000Now, the king of Saudi Arabia's official's title is the custodian of the two holy mosques.
00:18:30.000And it seems to me that as custodian, he has a lot of unfinished business to clean up.
00:18:37.000And the dirtiest place of all may be the Saudi consulate system operating right here in the United States of America.
00:18:46.000There is another consulate operating in the United States raising disturbing questions, and it relates directly to debunked allegations about me, rooted in an extortion scheme.
00:19:00.000The DOJ indicted this man, Stephen Alford, under fraud statutes because he worked with others to falsify accusations against me while demanding $25 million to make all my problems go away.
00:19:14.000The fraud feasors called this scheme Project Homecoming.
00:19:19.000Project Homecoming calls on my dad to pay $25 million to a former DOJ official ostensibly to rescue a Jewish American spy held in Iran named Bob Levinson.
00:19:32.000Project Homecoming is a criminal fraud scheme, this according to the DOJ's indictment of Alford.
00:19:39.000This man, Jake Novak, is the broadcast media director at the Israeli consulate in New York City.
00:19:47.000Everybody has a day job at the consulate, remember?
00:19:51.000Jake Novak, Israel's main media man in D.C., directly implicates himself in Project Homecoming, in texts with political commentator Scott Adams.
00:20:02.000Philip Nieto wrote a great piece about these exchanges in Spectator World, and we'll post that again on social media.
00:20:10.000On March 23rd, Novak texts Adams, Scoop, I can't wait to report.
00:21:30.000Are we to believe that a media director for the Israeli consulate in New York was moonlighting, perhaps, on Project Homecoming?
00:21:38.000I mean, that's about as likely as Al-Bayomi going rogue without direction.
00:21:44.000Has Novak been contacted by the FBI? Shouldn't the media ask him?
00:21:48.000What is this official of a foreign government's role in an extortion scheme involving a U.S. Congressman?
00:21:56.000And if the government of Israel isn't involved, and I sure hope they aren't, it would be nice if they would disavow these actions of their media operative.
00:22:04.000I've always considered myself a friend to Israel.
00:22:07.000Florida has a unique, close relationship with Israel that I know well and I cherish.
00:22:14.000The immediate past U.S. Ambassador to Israel, David Freeman, is a friend of mine with whom I've worked closely to support the U.S.-Israel relationship.
00:22:22.000I've traveled to Israel so many times that former Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu once joked with me that he should give me citizenship to shorten my time at Ben-Gurion Airport in Jerusalem.
00:22:40.000While in the Middle East, I traveled to Ramallah with dozens of congressional colleagues to meet with leadership from the Palestinian Authority.
00:22:48.000After introductory pleasantries, I got the first question of the Palestinian Prime Minister and I pressed him hard.
00:22:55.000How many of your schools are named after terrorists?
00:22:59.000I offered that question with a bit of a scowl.
00:23:01.000I knew the answer at the time was 38. So I angered the Palestinians in Ramallah so much that my fellow lawmakers made no secret of the fact that when we went back to Jerusalem, they wanted to travel back in a van other than mine.
00:23:18.000One of the first amendments that I passed as a lawmaker on the House floor banned funding for entities that inculcate hate against Israel in the Arab world.
00:23:28.000Mr. Speaker, it does not advance the interests of the United States to fund schools that incite terror and hate throughout the world.
00:23:38.000Thirty-four of those such schools exist in Judea and Samaria, the area currently controlled by the Palestinian Authority, and this amendment would defund those 34 schools that are named after terrorists, killers, and Nazi collaborators.
00:24:54.000Abdullah Azam was co-founder of Al-Qaeda, the mentor of Osama bin Laden, known as the father of modern jihad.
00:25:01.000Abdullah Al was the head of the Fatah military in the 1960s.
00:25:05.000A high school for girls carries his name.
00:25:08.000Amin al-Husseini was a Nazi collaborator.
00:25:11.000During World War II, he moved to Berlin where he served as a Hitler associate.
00:25:15.000In Yugoslavia, he was designated a war criminal.
00:25:18.000When the Nazis offered to free some Jewish children, al-Husseini prohibited their release, resulting in 5,000 Jewish children being sent to the gas chambers.
00:25:29.000An elementary school is named after him.
00:25:32.000Hassan Salem was also a Nazi operative.
00:25:35.000He was sent by the Nazis during World War II to poison the water supply in British-controlled areas near Tel Aviv.
00:25:43.000Mr. Speaker, I care deeply for the education of our youth, but we have to demand that curriculums be reformed so that the schools that American taxpayers fund do not promote hate.
00:26:57.000They get to hunt us and we get to, in turn, call out their lies and propaganda and BS. Freedom of speech works both ways.
00:27:06.000The marketplace of ideas isn't just open for the ideas spewed by activists using media status as some sort of veneer for their political activity.
00:27:17.000I encountered this dynamic recently, and I want to share it with you.
00:27:21.000Now, there are liars, damn liars, and journalists.
00:27:24.000And then there is this person, Tara Dublin.
00:28:39.000And then she sent me this amazing voicemail.
00:28:43.000Hi, my name is Tara Dublin and I am a contributor at Hillreporter.com.
00:28:48.000And I am in Clark County, Washington, where I am a resident, where Matt Gates traveled to yesterday in support of Joe Kent, the local Republican challenger to Jamie Herrera-Butler.
00:29:00.000Matt Gates was supposed to sit in until Matt Gates found out I was the person conducting the interview, and then he canceled.
00:29:06.000And we were led on a wild goose chase to a private fundraiser where we weren't going to be led in.
00:29:10.000And then we went to the rally where Matt Gaetz's private security detail and Joe Kent's private security detail were incredibly aggressive towards us and intimidating.
00:29:20.000Matt Gaetz refused to speak to me, but he had no problem retweeting a tweet of mine with a video where I'm speaking.
00:29:27.000And now Matt Gaetz's followers are swarming me and trolling me and insulting my appearance and calling me bush and a dyke and saying terrible things and frightening me because Matt Gaetz's virtue signaled his followers on me, which is a violation of Twitter terms of service.
00:29:43.000So what I am asking for on this day, September 7th, where I live in Washington State, it is 2.41 in the afternoon.
00:29:52.000I know he's not going to apologize because he doesn't apologize for anything, but I do want him to delete that tweet.
00:29:58.000That is going after me like that, going after a private citizen?
