My good friend Myron Gaines joins us to talk about his recent beef with Zerka and how he handled it. We also talk about the Tiki Taki fight and how it almost went down. We also get into a little bit of everything else.
00:18:49.000Because if anything, what will happen is you'll regain the public's trust.
00:18:53.000Because the reason why, you know, people like Candace Owens and Ian Carroll yourself, you know, people that might, you know, doubt the official narrative.
00:19:00.000You guys are blown up because people don't trust the government anymore.
00:19:02.000So Cash Patel has been priding himself on being transparent.
00:19:15.000It's actually the, the, um, the state bureau investigation, which is, uh, Utah's equivalent of the FBI for those that are wondering and the foreign watchers.
00:19:22.000So every state has like their own investigative investigative body alongside their state police.
00:19:29.000So, um, that's another problem too, that we have where they're not being transparent either.
00:19:34.000How do you look at things like, um, the Patsy, you know, saying that, uh, Candace Owens has a source on record, I guess, at the, a nurse at the hospital saying that the Patsy said that he was paid to say what he said, what he did, what he said.
00:19:52.000Uh, you have, I mean, the 30 odd six, I still don't understand people bring up MLK, but it's like even MLK, even jawbone, very, very, uh, tough part of your skull, but it still had an exit wound.
00:20:07.000And the fragment supposedly went in through his shoulder or whatever, after the three inch exit wound.
00:20:15.000How do you square Kosh Patel, uh, trying to stop Tulsi Gabbard and Joe Kent from looking into foreign interference in this case?
00:20:25.000I mean, like you said, there's a bunch of gaping holes, but there's also a lot of suspicious play here that I don't think could be squared in any way.
00:20:33.000Yeah. Um, yeah, I can, I can definitely, did you have a chat?
00:21:03.000You know, the stuff already Jackson, I'm explaining maybe for the people that might not understand, right?
00:21:07.000Because a lot of people tend to conflate the FBI and the CIA and they're complete to complete different agencies.
00:21:12.000So the FBI investigates their chief things are, you know, foreign intelligence, terrorism, that type of thing. Right.
00:21:19.000And especially when it has to do with a domestic nexus, the CIA is international.
00:21:24.000So when Joe Kent and Tulsi Gabbard, who, you know, he's, I think he's a higher, higher up guy over at a, he's a D he's like a Tulsi second, right?
00:21:33.000At the, at the DNI or, or is that CIA?
00:21:38.000DNI. Right. Well under, right. Yeah. He's like Tulsi's like number two.
00:21:41.000So technically Tulsi Gabbard, she's the head of, she's a DNI. So she runs all the intelligence agencies. Right.
00:21:48.000But the FBI is different because the FBI is not just an intelligence agency. They're also a law enforcement agency.
00:21:54.000And intelligence and law enforcement are two different worlds because when you're collecting intelligence, right.
00:21:59.000Right. And your job is to collect information. A lot of the time that stuff is classified. Right.
00:22:04.000And a lot of the time, the way that you procure that information is illegal. Let's just be honest.
00:22:08.000You're, um, intercepting phones without court orders. You're beating up people and you know, the waterboarding them.
00:22:14.000You're collecting information, all different types of ways. Intelligence operates in the dark.
00:22:17.000Law enforcement tends to operate in the light. Why? Because everything is discoverable.
00:22:21.000When you arrest someone and you bring them in in front of, in front of a judge, you have to give everything over during discovery process, all the evidence to that attorney.
00:22:28.000So they see everything that you collected. So for that reason, intelligence tends to not line up very well with law enforcement.
00:22:35.000So whenever you have like a, um, a criminal case like this, right. And intelligence agencies start getting in law enforcement is going to obviously bucket that because what might happen is intelligence agencies don't operate in the light.
00:22:49.000So they can compromise the case and things might become discoverable.
00:22:53.000They aren't supposed to be discovered when it puts them in a very bad light.
00:22:55.000So I see why I catch Patel did that because the FBI has always had problems with the CIA, right?
00:23:00.000Since nine 11 for a very long time, they haven't shared information.
00:23:03.000There's been a lot of problems with the IC and FBI because the FBI is one of the few agencies in the IC that is also a law enforcement agency, which is a completely different mission than an intelligence gathering agency.
00:23:14.000So that's why I suspect that they had the problems that they had. Does that make it right? No.
00:23:18.000But, uh, you know, coming from a law enforcement background, I just know that the FBI and the CIA and intelligence agencies for that matter have always butt ahead with law enforcement agencies because we have two different routes on how we do things.
00:23:30.000CIA intel agencies are collecting information, all types of ways. They don't give a shit.
00:23:34.000Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies have to collect them in a way where it's, um, legal because it's going to have legal scrutiny when you present that evidence in a court.
00:23:44.000Yeah, I understand what you're saying. It just looks, it looks weird.
00:23:50.000It looks bad optically though. It does. It does. It looks very bad.
00:23:54.000And I feel like that was only leaked either by way of a personal gripe stemming over a larger issue with Kash Patel and Tulsi, or it was leaked because their sincere concern that Tulsi or Joe Kent has regarding this.
00:24:11.000Uh, I don't think there would be any other motive from anyone else. Susie Wiles, Vance. Yeah.
00:24:17.000It can be for any of those reasons. Uh, you know, I'm just like, you know, me just, uh, if I had to take a guess, right.
00:24:25.000Agency transgressions from Pat, from the past on top of personalities, maybe not getting along with each other.
00:24:30.000Um, the, the, the, the, the high profile in this of the case, right. People, everyone wants to be the star, all of these things, um, plan because man, I've been in boardrooms before on big cases where you got DEA there, you got FBI there. You got to represent it from the intelligence agencies.
00:24:42.000Uh, agencies, dude, they're, they're almost coming to blow sometimes on big cases like this. So the fighting, um, amongst agencies is nothing new. It happens all the time, all the time.
00:24:53.28030 odd, six magic bullet. How do you square that if it can be squared at all?
00:24:59.000That is one of the biggest problems with the official narrative. Uh, you know, I've seen guys that have put thousands, thousands upon thousands of rounds down range with every type of gun that you could think of green berets, Navy SEALs, et cetera.
00:25:12.360And the conclusion is the same pretty much by every single one of them or 30 odd six would have blown, you know, Charlie's head open almost right. You know, God, I'm glad that didn't happen, obviously. Right.
00:25:23.020Um, but I think it pretty much every firearms and ballistic expert has come to the same conclusion, even when they do test shoots, right. This 30 odd six is going through, you know, cow vertebrae. It's going through cinder block. It's going through metal.
00:25:37.400You know, it's an extremely powerful round and the damage that we witnessed on camera, um, simply doesn't line up with the ballistics. Right. And then the ludicrous story that they gave to explain it away, you know, it was a miracle, you know, like what, what's going on here, dude?
00:25:52.480Like man of steel, right. When the Superman movies coming out. Yeah. You know, it's just absolutely nuts. So, uh, you know, I can see why so many people are skeptical.
00:26:01.360Yeah. You know, it's, you're not, people aren't crazy for being skeptical with the official narrative and do it. As someone that used to work in federal law enforcement, I was pissed off when I saw it. So I was like, well, you guys think that American people are stupid. Like, did you not see JFK? Do you not see USS Liberty? Like, like the American public no longer trust the government. Like, what are you guys doing?
00:26:18.560Like, this is a monumental, uh, uh, you know, I don't want to F up, right. We're on YouTube. So like, you have a chance with a case with huge profile, right. That isn't a high side case. Like you, you're saying there's a single shooter, put the information out.
00:26:33.660Well, there's also another weird thing is I thought I was going to see a bunch of stories about this in the mainstream media today. Uh, but we didn't see that you, we had as a result of this meeting with Candace and Erica, uh, obviously I think one of the biggest items of contention were the texts that Charlie allegedly sent the day before the shooting saying, I feel like they are going to kill me. He wasn't specific, whatever.
00:27:01.100Um, that seems extremely weird to me. And it seems weird that if those texts were real, um, the FBI wouldn't say, or the state commission, whatever, they wouldn't say, Hey, maybe there's something we can, we can, uh, gather with further context from these messages.
00:27:19.940And Erica Kirk said, no, the texts don't exist. Well, Candace came out and said, Erica did confirm they existed once we met in person because they were signal messages and they weren't in the regular, you know, I message category. So what, what is going like, how can they square not looking into the phone? Erica still has the phone presumably, and they've never had the phone. The feds have never had it. Why would they not look into the phone?
00:27:46.400Absolutely crazy. Absolutely crazy. Absolutely crazy that she's still in possession of the phone. I mean, the only, the only rational explanation I can say is they, okay. So law enforcement has a device. It's called the cell bright. It's actually Israeli technology. Right. And the cell bright, what it does is, is, um, for your audience, I know, you know what it is, but, um, what it does.
00:28:06.680I actually don't. Oh, you don't. Okay. So, so cell bright is a, is a technology. It's Israeli technology that law enforcement uses where they extract everything off of your cell phone, laptop, et cetera. Right. We call it dumping the phone in the law enforcement world.
00:28:20.600So, um, my thing is the only way I can think in my head that they would give the phone back to her is they had to have extracted that phone. Now here's the problem.
00:28:33.260Some cell brights or depending on the phone, cell brights are 100% like the amount of information you're able to extract is contingent upon the type of phone. Right. Um, so if it's a newer iPhone, you might not be able to get everything out.
00:28:45.340Certain apps, you might not be able to get it out. Or if you do get the information out, it's all encrypted.
00:28:49.020So a lot of the times it's always best to have the physical phone, always best out the physical phone, especially with programs like telegram signal, et cetera, with the rise of these encrypted, um, uh, messaging services, um, it's always best to have the hard device.
00:29:03.540So the fact that, um, she has the phone, that's a bit alarming. Like they should have the phone or at best they had to have had the phone for a few days, a week or two to really go through it.
00:29:15.380Um, because the victim's phone is going to be a fantastic piece of evidence to be able to figure out, you know, did he have any enemies? Who was he communicating with? Who was he, um, you know, making phone calls to text messages before and after, or like right before the shots fired.
00:29:29.680Like all of these things are extremely important. Now I can see maybe why on Erica's side, because since he's deceased, she probably had to be the one to give consent.
00:29:38.580And I wouldn't be surprised if she told law enforcement, like, uh, you guys can do unlimited consent. I have to be here and like, let you guys go through it or whatever, unless they went and got a search warrant.
00:29:47.540But, uh, you know, that would be the other way, but that might not look good optically. So I don't know. It's a little weird that she has a phone. I'm not going to lie. Like law enforcement should have that phone, especially since they know that he was communicating on encrypted apps.
00:30:01.940And we know that extracting that from a cell bright doesn't always work all the way.
00:30:07.960Yeah. It, it doesn't add up to me. I saw someone online say, well, you know, the only person who should be, um, worried about their phone being seized by the feds is Tyler Robinson and or any accomplices. Uh, but I would think that if Charlie felt as though someone was going to kill him, there were these public posts on Twitter. Uh, there, there was all anonymous posts on Twitter.
00:30:31.920People saying that, like, I feel like that would insinuate that someone knew something was up. Someone knew that there was something else going on beyond just Tyler Robinson. Uh, and that would probably warrant even, even in a case like that, Erica would still have to give consent for the phone because she's next of kin.
00:30:52.320More than likely. Yeah. Um, because, because what, what they're going to say, anytime they assess like privacy, right on that, they always ask, they always ask like, um, is there a REP, which stands for reasonable expectation of privacy.
00:31:03.260So obviously with your cell phone, um, that's at this point with the amount of information that are on cell phones, cell phones are like right under your house, right?
00:31:11.840When it comes to the fourth amendment and getting your probable cause. So she probably would be, have to be the one to consent as since she's, uh, you know, legally as his, uh, his wife. Um, and I would not be surprised if she was like, eh, I don't know what's in there.
00:31:25.560I don't want all that stuff coming out. There could be some embarrassing stuff that comes out.
00:31:28.540I'm going to be here as you guys go through his phone. Right. Maybe, uh, maybe, uh, a limited consent search. Um, but yeah, I mean, it is kind of weird that, that she has a phone. Um, yeah.
00:31:40.520And I guess there's a last point to ask you about this, uh, for now, because I'm sure there will be more information that comes out. Candace has already said she's going to do another, uh, stream today, probably in a few hours here, actually.
00:31:52.440Yeah. Uh, where she's going to talk about the Egyptian planes once more.
00:31:56.960And you look through history countries, it's, it's kind of rare, but countries have used, um, fake demarcations on their plane surveillance aircraft, uh, to insinuate that they're flying the aircraft of another nation, um, in wars before wars.
00:32:15.880And it could be something like that. That apparently Candace has said that this plane was in Israel. I don't think anyone really believes that this Egyptian plane, if there was something nefarious, uh, at play with Charlie Kirk was from Egypt.
00:32:31.620That just seems very random. Um, Charlie Kirk didn't have a good relationship with Egypt. He had a good relationship with Israel and Egypt as an ally to, you know, they, they, yeah. Like the governments at least get along, even though the people dislike each other, the governments get along.
00:32:45.880Is there anything that clicks you when you, when you, when you continue to hear this story and the fact that however many times it was overlapping with their travels, specifically with Erica's travels?
00:32:57.060Yeah. Um, I'll be honest with you, man. Um, with the Egyptian angle, I'm not too familiar with it. I don't, I, you know, I don't really see, um, I don't really know too much about it. I haven't, uh, seen that part so much of her, um, theory on what's going on here.
00:33:10.860Uh, but what I will absolutely say is that the official narrative, um, creates more questions than answers. So I think anyone that's questioning the official narrative, um, I don't think they're crazy for doing so.
00:33:23.800Um, obviously everyone has their own theory of what might've happened, et cetera. Uh, but I don't like, um, the fact that they're not being transparent. And like, for example, like the ballistics alone, like, come on, dude, like the American public are smarter than that.
00:33:37.000Like what, what are you guys doing? Like 30 out six. And with that kind of wound, like, I don't know. It just, well, I want to, I want to run this by you too.
00:33:49.040Sure. Uh, I think you can hear this. Let's play this. So, uh, yeah, this is going to be funny. And for those of you guys that are watching on Jackson's channel, guys, I know some of you guys are saying it's lagging.
00:34:00.040I put the link at Jackson, if you could pin it in your chat. Um, let's do that. Yeah. Pin it in your chat. So they can, so they can, um,
00:34:07.300come watch it on mine. And then what we'll do is once we finish the stream, you re upload it back on your thing and, uh, you know, whatever. And I'll just hide it off mine. So they can watch it live on mine. And then they have to go to yours to rewatch.
00:34:18.560I've, uh, my internet's been good as of late, but, uh, today we set up new internet and clearly there were some issues. So the new internet, I just, uh, I just dropped it there. So if you, if you want to pin it, uh, I just dropped it in your chat.
00:34:31.940Hey guys, support my guy. Uh, OSS guys, all you guys, you know, give Jackson's video. Like, yeah, I mean, it's, I know it's lagging and stuff, but he's going to re upload it. So don't worry. It'll, it'll be, it's going to come out super crispy. When he re uploads, it's going to be in a damn near 4k.
00:34:49.140There we go. All right. Let's talk about this. So, uh,
00:34:52.620all right. So you're the, you're the King, you're the King of the red pill. As they say,
00:35:00.500you get attacked by a bunch of Reddit anime nerds online for that. You were proven right though,
00:35:05.400with the cost saying a hundred percent and countless other victims of this girl boss mentality across the
00:35:11.940world. But I think the clearest example of a beta male that we've ever seen is our current FBI
00:35:20.680director, which is really bad for a number of reasons. I want to talk about that, but first we
00:35:27.040should react to this clip of him. I don't think the full podcast is out yet, but, uh, as they are
00:35:33.400trying to find the Brown university shooter, they can't find this guy. Yeah. I'm actually surprised they
00:35:39.980haven't caught him yet, dude. What the hell? As they're on the, the man hunt is going on.
00:35:45.400They decided to release whatever this is. Take a look. You are not from Israel. No. So how did we
00:35:54.120get to, are you a Mossad agent? You know, that's a great question. Where's her ring? Just to clarify,
00:36:00.380how often has he traveled to see you since January 20th? Is there been one moment where you're like,
00:36:05.600you can't make this up? Well, he, he laughs exactly like, um,
00:36:14.160Akash Shing did in that flagrant episode, that forced laugh. You know, it's just not a good look,
00:36:22.160dude. It's really not a good look as someone. And I, and here's the thing too, you know, it's funny,
00:36:26.280funny story. A buddy of mine is FBI agent, right? I used to work cases with him back in the day. We had
00:36:33.640a really big line King case back like 10 years ago, 2015, South Texas. And I said, dude,
00:36:38.920it'd be awesome to have you on. And we could talk about our old case that we did. They're all done
00:36:43.400now. Everybody got prosecuted, whatever. People would love it. He's like, all right, let me,
00:36:46.620let me hit my agency. See if I could do it. They said, hell though. Right? Hell though. But then you
00:36:51.740see the director go on and do a podcast like this. Like, come on, man, what's going on here? You know?
00:36:57.080And I kind of knew, I'll be honest with you. I knew deep down he's going to get denied,
00:37:00.680but I say, you know what? Try it. Right? Denied immediately. HQ's like, hell though. But you,
00:37:05.360now you got the director, right? Granted, this was under Chris Ray, but now you got the director
00:37:09.940doing podcasts. I mean, look, bro, it is, you know, I'm very, um, I'm, I'm very conflicted with
00:37:17.180Cash because I think he has done some things good. Right? But he's also done some really stupid
00:37:21.460things too. Right? Um, and the reason why I say this is because I'm speaking from a former 1811,
00:37:28.280former special agent perspective. So I know what the FBI was like before he got in. So I know like
00:37:33.300little intricacies that the American public simply won't understand that if I explained it to them,
00:37:38.540they might say, okay, I can see why, but they're not going to care about that stuff. So to be simple,
00:37:43.120is the FBI better now than under Ray? A hundred percent, a hundred percent. But does that mean it's
00:37:49.860still great? No. Like it still has a lot of work to do, but that goes to show how far the agency
00:37:56.900had fallen. So, um, so, so it's not really a high bar, is it? Yeah, it's, it's fallen a lot,
00:38:03.240dude. So, um, the only people that are really going to appreciate, um, how the agency has, has,
00:38:08.400has changed and gotten better are people in the field or people that used to be in a field like
00:38:12.620myself, right? Like I got better for the feds, but not for solving crimes, so to speak.
00:38:18.340They are better for solving crimes and I'll explain why. So, okay. So we're really going to get in the
00:38:24.020weeds here. One of the historic problems of the FBI for a very long time was that they're fucking
00:38:28.920lazy. All right. Lazy. You do a big case. They come in at the end with their Ray jackets, right?
00:38:35.560Get all the credit, even though they didn't run the case, they didn't help you with nothing,
00:38:38.540right? They just come in and they just take all the glory, right? Because they're the premier agency.
00:38:42.580Everybody knows who they are. So when they show up with those JTTF jackets, people think it's FBI
00:38:46.180case. It's not. And they've been doing this for a very long time. Anyone that works in law
00:38:49.280enforcement will tell you this, right? Um, they don't go out and do surveillance. They don't like to do
00:38:53.320overtime. They don't like to, well, agents that really don't get overtime, but they're not out
00:38:57.080there like hitting the streets hard. That's why when Cash Patel said, Hey, I'm going to get a lot
00:39:01.540of these agents out of DC. That's what he meant because FBI agents, especially out of like, you
00:39:06.240know, slow field offices like DC, whatever, they're not doing nothing. Like some of these agents have
00:39:10.840been on the job for 10 years. They may be, maybe they've made maybe one criminal arrest their entire
00:39:15.540career to put things in perspective. When I started my career in Laredo, Texas with HSI, dude, I was doing
00:39:20.100five criminal arrests a day because we were getting caught on the border, smuggling drugs,
00:39:24.120smuggling illegal aliens, smuggling guns, southbound, smuggling money, southbound. So we
00:39:29.100were catching people every single day in all federal arrests. So the FBI has a bad reputation
00:39:34.380for not actually getting out there and fighting crime. So one thing that Bongino and Patel did,
00:39:39.320which I will give them credit for, but the American public isn't going to understand is they got their
00:39:43.680asses out of the office and told them you need to go on jump on task forces. You need to bring down
00:39:47.580the murder rate, get involved with the state locals more, start doing, uh, hitting the streets
00:39:51.920more, start making more arrests, which they've been able to do. Um, you know, so they've become
00:39:57.280a little bit less bureaucratic when it comes to actual law enforcement, but these are small changes
00:40:02.040that the American public aren't really going to understand or care about, right? Like this is
00:40:06.420shit that only I will understand because I used to come from that world. So what they really should
00:40:10.560be focusing on from a large scale perspective, besides like getting agents out and actually doing their
00:40:14.300jobs is more transparency. They need way more transparency. And then with cases like this,
00:40:19.320that are super hope high profile that, um, people are interested in, they need to be transparent
00:40:23.500about those, especially like this. Charlie Kirk case was a great opportunity for them to really
00:40:27.220build trust back with the American public. And they fumbled it. Pam Bondi with FC files fumbled it big
00:40:32.120time. Right. So, well, Susie Wiles has called that out to apparently now everyone is coming to defend
00:40:38.860her and say she didn't actually mean what she said. She's actually the best. She loves Trump, but,
00:40:43.280uh, she came out, uh, in 11 different interviews with vanity fair. And these are some of the,
00:40:50.240I guess, uh, tidbits they were able to extract from these lengthy 11 interviews. So make of that what
00:40:56.140you will. I find it weird how like every single RNC stooge on the planet is coming out and posting
00:41:02.140how much they love Susie Wiles right now though. But it says, uh, while said Trump has an alcoholics
00:41:08.440personality, JD Vance has been a conspiracy theorist for a decade. Russell Vaughn is a right,
00:41:13.600right-wing absolute velet and Pam Bondi completely whiffed in her handling of the Epstein files.
00:41:19.520Um, the, the only thing I've got is, I mean, I, I think I probably agree with her on her
00:41:25.080characterization of most of those things, but the thing I got to say is like the FBI was created
00:41:32.280specifically to go after communists and try to eradicate this working class consciousness in
00:41:41.060the U S those who are sympathetic or viewed as sympathetic to the Soviet and that if it wasn't
00:41:47.200the stated goal, that is what it did for the, uh, overwhelming duration of its early years.
00:41:52.420And I guess it was kind of a way to connect a high crime with the government and go after these
00:41:59.840people. And though the FBI might be less bureaucratic for people that were actually solving
00:42:05.800crimes like yourself today now than it was five years ago, the problems of, I guess, coordinating
00:42:13.620with high crime or States across the world to cover up or execute a certain plans is the problem
00:42:21.440that most people want fixed that they don't see fixed. Yeah. I mean, um, you know, one thing,
00:42:28.660uh, like I said, going back to the transparency problem, right. With, with the FBI, I'll, I'll,
00:42:33.480I'll give you a funny story. Um, when it comes, if you want to talk about like how stupid the FBI can
00:42:37.880be, we used to call them like famous, but incompetent. I'll never forget this. I was doing a
00:42:41.520Hawala case with them one time. It was a terrorism case on a, on a Hawala cell and it was us FBI and
00:42:47.680secret service. Uh, I was working for HSI at a new Haven. And I remember I gave them information
00:42:53.940on an individual's travel pattern, right? Because HSI has very detailed accesses to people who
00:42:59.180travels in and out of the country, right? It's basically, you got all the customs. I gave them
00:43:03.640this information. And then I think like I was out on the street one time doing surveillance or
00:43:07.200whatever. And I called the analyst back from the FBI. I said, Hey, the, um, that information,
00:43:12.340can you tell me what it was? And she literally said, that's classified. I said, what? I gave you
00:43:17.420that fucking information. What are you talking about? It's classified. Oh yeah. It's classified.
00:43:21.940That's my info. What are you talking about? But that, that, that that's the bureaucracy and the
00:43:26.340red tape of, uh, what the FBI is like you give them information and they don't give you information.
00:43:32.920Anyone that works in law enforcement, I don't know if anyone in your chat works in law enforcement,
00:43:35.520whatever, they'll tell you work with the FBI. It's a one way street, right? Um, so this has been a
00:43:40.580problem that's plagued the agency for a very long time. They over classify everything.
00:43:43.840It'll be some stuff that isn't even worth being classified and they'll classify it just,
00:43:47.580just because, you know, cause they don't have, cause when they say it's classified,
00:43:51.440they don't have to share information now, you know, so that's a big problem.
00:43:55.700Museum of the deep state as promised by. Yeah. We don't have, yeah. He said,
00:43:58.680he's going to do a day one, man. What happened? I saw Ryan interview, man. So the thing with cash,
00:44:03.940and this is the problem over promise under deliver in the government. We have a saying,
00:44:09.760under promise over deliver. He did it the opposite way because it was a social media guy beforehand.
00:44:15.420Him, Pam Bondi, you know, the Epstein thing was a monumental mess up, monumental, right? Um,
00:44:22.220there's no excuse for that. And, and that's not just the F like a lot of people blame cash,
00:44:26.700Patel and Pam Bondi. We need to put a little bit of accountability on Tulsi Gabbard too. And I'll tell
00:44:30.640you why Tulsi Gabbard as a DNI is the head of all the intelligence agencies. He oversees all of them,
00:44:37.320right? All 31, 32, 33 intelligence agencies. The problem with Epstein is this. A lot of people
00:44:44.080focus on the sex trafficking. Fine. Fair enough. The sex trafficking was a part of the criminal
00:44:49.640investigation that the FBI ran, but people forget that we all know he was also a spy for a foreign
00:44:55.500government. That is automatically fall, is going to fall under the purview of the CIA and the NSA
00:45:01.260and the DIA and all these other intelligence agencies. Now here's the problem. The FBI is
00:45:06.300only going to have a limited perspective on what Epstein was doing because they looked at him from
00:45:11.640a criminal perspective and then they're going to have some limited high side stuff, which is
00:45:14.380classified stuff. The CIA is going to have a file. DIA is going to have a file. NSA is going to have a
00:45:19.120file. All of these different agencies are going to have a different file. Now, the problem here
00:45:22.980is that Pam Bondi and Kash Patel don't know what DIA has, what NSA has, what CIA has, etc. Right?
00:45:33.500Pam Bondi is the head of the DOJ. DOJ really only has like maybe one or two agencies that even are
00:45:38.140members of the intel community. So a lot of people, you know, were beating up on Pam Bondi for being
00:45:42.580incompetent, which she is, by the way. But to put all the ownage of this monumental F up on her and
00:45:48.820Kash Patel is a bit disingenuous. It's a failure from the entire government because Tulsi Gabbard,
00:45:54.640who is head of the entire intel community, you're telling me she can't get us what we need to get
00:45:59.800when it comes to the classified stuff on Epstein? Because everything goes through her. So Pam Bondi
00:46:05.740and Kash Patel definitely dropped the ball, but Tulsi Gabbard's got to be wrapped in too because
00:46:09.600there's definitely classified stuff on Epstein based on what he was doing and the type of information
00:46:14.180he was collecting and who he was working with. Well, I mean, look at what she did in Iran.
00:46:21.560She knew the truth about Iran. She knew the truth about their uranium enrichment levels.
00:46:26.740How do we know that for a fact? Because she was the number one person who is convincing Donald
00:46:32.560Trump to stay in the JCPOA back during his first term. Right. She's like an expert on this. She made it
00:46:39.260her. She was crucified for this and for Syria. But even though that is true and she did, you know,
00:46:47.360stick her neck out back then, she is still a staunch Zionist. And this is as a result of probably her
00:46:55.880political upbringing, also her religion and her worldview as a result of her family upbringing.
00:47:01.840Um, but she's very critical of the Palestinian resistance. She labels them as terrorists. She's
00:47:10.400very critical of the Lebanese resistance, but Syria and Iran, she's like much more pacified towards
00:47:17.880and level headed towards. So it's, it's odd. And, and Yemen, she's also spoken out against airstrikes in
00:47:23.640Yemen previously, but not when Trump did it this time. So it seems as though she's just been
00:47:29.520completely compromised, completely abandoned all principles. Uh, she's climbing the ladder.
00:47:34.780Roger Stone wants her to run for president next time. I don't have, I don't have any faith in that
00:47:40.520woman whatsoever. She, she turned into Colin, Colin Powell. She's Indian Colin Powell. Yeah. I mean,
00:47:46.020the, the problem is that, um, the Zionist lobby has so much power in the Trump administration.
00:47:51.460Um, you know, that, you know, like what you mentioned with the JCPO, like, that's crazy that like,
00:47:57.720she totally did a one 80, totally did a one 80 on, on that. And I was like, cause everybody knows,
00:48:03.500dude, like do they like the enrichment program that they were running was for bartering. It was
00:48:10.020for, um, negotiation purposes. You know what I mean? Like that's what it was for. It was like, Hey,
00:48:16.680this is the trade away. Let's go ahead. Let's get these, let's get this deal done. Right. Let's get
00:48:21.180these sanctions taken off. Right. And they were, they were working very well. I think that's one of the
00:48:26.140a few things that the Obama administration did well was this a nuclear deal. Right. But Trump
00:48:31.040comes in, Mike Pompeo, the Zionist lobby. Hey, get these guys out of here. Right. They pull out
00:48:36.860the deal. Mike Pompeo registers the IRGC as a terrorist organization. And then bam, you know,
00:48:42.980now it's, it's, it's free reign and that's what Israel wanted. I mean, the fact that Netanyahu came
00:48:47.280to America and defied a U S president in the United States, right. And delivered a speech that was
00:48:54.480basically like condemning Obama for even doing this deal. Like that just goes to show, man,
00:48:58.340like who runs this country? It's ridiculous. So, well, the other funny thing is the JCPOA. I mean,
00:49:04.620John Kerry admitted this and, um, there've been some Israeli officials actually over the past few
00:49:10.920months that have admitted this, that the JCPOA literally was, you know, there's different camps
00:49:16.380in the Zionist, uh, movement. And one of those camps thought that the best way of crippling Iran and
00:49:22.260bringing down the regime was to a ensure that they never got nuclear weapons, uh, but be over
00:49:28.320the longterm using the JCPOA as a mechanism to, uh, I guess, safeguard everyone from that threat
00:49:35.120while also allowing for the West to weaken Iran to the point where regime change would be possible
00:49:41.000one day in the future and preventing them from going to North Korea route, which is, I guess,
00:49:46.900been very successful for North Korea. Looking at it has been, it has been. And people wonder why Iran
00:49:52.120wanted a nuclear bomb. It's like, well, we have, we've been messing with North Korea. No, we haven't.
00:49:56.520Right. And that's what ends up happening is they're trying to procure these weapons because
00:50:00.800Israel started this nuclear arms race back in the sixties after JFK died. And I will, I want to say
00:50:06.160this cause I actually, I want to get your perspective on this. So John Kurokow, uh, uh, might be butchering
00:50:11.860his last name. Kurokow, I think it's Kurokow, former CIA guy. He went and did a podcast not too long ago
00:50:20.260and he said that a big reason why Trump bombed Iran was because Israel told him that if you don't
00:50:29.240bomb Iran and take out these nuclear facilities, we are going to use our nuclear weapons on them.
00:50:34.020And it makes sense because I remember back in June, what me, you, Suleiman, maybe a few others.
00:50:39.660We were saying back then, and everyone thought we were crazy that Iran was fucking up Tel Aviv very badly.
00:50:44.940They were hitting a lot of their strategic sites. They hit the Mossad base. They hit the Oman base.
00:50:49.240They hit them very hard. And Israel was doing everything in their power to stop journalists
00:50:53.280from recording what was going on with damage. Right. Then it slowly started leaking out. Oh yeah.
00:50:57.980Well, they're getting hit a little bit harder than they want. They're begging for the ceasefire,
00:51:01.160blah, blah, blah. You know, everyone's saying, Oh yeah, Israel has air superiority.
00:51:04.180Operation rising line really damaged them, which it did. Israel absolutely did some damage to Iran
00:51:08.700with that, with that sneak attack. However, once Iran recalibrated and they started
00:51:13.240shooting those missiles back, Tel Aviv was getting destroyed. And, um, and then now with
00:51:19.280Caracal saying that it makes sense. Cause in my head, I was like, you know, this is really stupid
00:51:23.860that Trump is, uh, bombing Iran. This is a ridiculous risk for no reason, but now it's starting
00:51:28.400to make more sense because this isn't the first time that the Israelis have used nuclear blackmail.
00:51:32.380Um, Golden Meyer did this back in 73 with Yom Kippur. Oh, the Arab snuck attack. Cause we're
00:51:37.380going to lose Nixon. You better give us this airlifter or else we're going to bomb these Arabs
00:51:41.420with nuclear bombs. It's like, all right, boom, we don't want a nuclear war. So what are your
00:51:45.580thoughts on that, man? Because, uh, I guess me and you are vindicated again and slowly mine and
00:51:49.300everyone else that was saying that Israel is getting pummeled during, uh, the, the war in June.
00:51:55.880Yeah. Well, I think that, uh, first of all, say, uh, John Kiriakou, I've never met him. So I,
00:52:02.320I can't, you know, fully, uh, grasp his character. I feel like most of these guys who are ex CIA,
00:52:09.100I feel like they're still CIA actually. In fact, I don't think there ever is XCI. I don't think
00:52:13.980there's X KGB, FSB, any of that stuff. Uh, but John Kiriakou friend, friend of a friend, I guess,
00:52:20.860friend of a very close friend. And, you know, he did go to prison for exposing the torture program.
00:52:27.260And, um, I think that if there was the closest thing we could get to a truth teller coming out
00:52:33.300of the CIA and doing these podcast rounds, it would be him. Uh, he still doesn't even have a,
00:52:38.440a pension from the CIA. That's how much they hate this guy for exposing the torture program.
00:52:43.280And he criticized Israel. I've never seen a CIA officer criticize Israel, bro. Ever.
00:52:47.620Yes. Even, uh, what's that other guy, the, with the crazy hair, the long, Andrew, Andrew. Yeah.
00:52:53.940Yeah. That guy got asked about Edward Snowden and he, he, uh, he's like, well,
00:52:57.840Edward Snowden is a villain and he started saying all his bullshit. I'm like, well,
00:53:02.640maybe still CIA. I don't know. But, uh, the, um, Kiriakou, I think he's a hundred percent
00:53:09.060correct about that because it just makes sense. Right. I mean, you hear that and you say,
00:53:13.020yeah, well, Trump probably understands it's going to hurt him politically to air strike Iran.
00:53:19.220Uh, he doesn't want to get pissed. Everybody was saying no. Even Bannon was like, well,
00:53:23.500what are you doing? Um, you know, like everyone was pissed off, but now it's making sense.
00:53:27.840Now, like why he did it. Cause cause the media, right. For those that forgot, like in the
00:53:33.900mainstream media, all you saw was Israel's winning this war. Iran is getting pummeled.
00:53:38.100They're getting embarrassed. Like the mainstream media sounded like, oh, like Israel's destroying
00:53:43.000these guys. So when Trump went ahead and bombed them for like, why, what are you doing? But now
00:53:47.420it's making sense. No, Tel Aviv was getting messed up and they threatened a nuclear bomb unless Trump
00:53:53.320came in. So now it all makes sense. And here's the thing with Kiriakou. Like,
00:53:57.840he has no real reason to lie about that because former CIA guy, it's critical of Israel. It kind
00:54:03.520of makes, it puts, it makes the president look weak a bit, but we know that the Israelis have no
00:54:07.200problem with, um, threatening using nuclear weapons. They've done it before. So it vindicated
00:54:11.500all of us in my eyes, but like, no one talked about that. Like, uh, so I want to, by the way,
00:54:15.300this, this Kiriakou, he's a guy that wants to curry favor with Trump because he still does not
00:54:20.440have a presidential, uh, pardon. So he can't get his pension. So, you know, it's like he,
00:54:26.980he wants that, but he's, he's still saying this. And there was an article in the times of Israel
00:54:33.340several weeks ago, uh, citing Israeli anonymous, Israeli, uh, military officials who said that
00:54:41.000by the fourth day and keep, we all remember the first like 24, maybe a little over 24 hours,
00:54:47.540there was no Iranian response, but by the fourth day of the war, um, all of the Israeli military
00:54:53.460brass was going to Netanyahu and saying, we need to end this, you know, and, and that was before
00:54:59.160if memory serves correct, that there was, there was already strikes on, um, the ports, uh, the
00:55:04.340infrastructure at the ports and some of the air bases. Um, but I don't think Tel Aviv had been hit
00:55:10.560hard by day four. Maybe I'm incorrect. Um, I know they had, uh, they had a Mossad base there and they
00:55:16.780hit some other strategic locations. Um, there was one tech building. I forget. Um, probably
00:55:21.580they did hit Tel Aviv. I'm just saying by the fourth day, I don't know. Oh, oh, oh, okay. Okay.
00:55:26.460I got you. I got you. Um, they hit Tel Aviv very hard, but, but they were saying on the fourth day,
00:55:31.420all these military brass were going to Netanyahu and saying, we need to end this. We need to call up
00:55:36.100Trump. And then Yahoo said, nah, I got a better idea. We're going to, we're going to force this.
00:55:41.680We're going to force his cards. We're going to, you know, he, the, the Israeli article didn't say
00:55:46.660that, uh, he threatened to use the nuke on Iran if the U S didn't get involved, but somehow or
00:55:52.920another, this Israeli article points out by day four, when everyone was opposed to this in Israel,
00:55:58.860Netanyahu somehow got Trump to pull the trigger. Yeah. I mean, and, and, and now that like, you know,
00:56:05.360when you collect more and more facts, it's like the only thing that makes sense, man, because,
00:56:09.180um, it was wildly unpopular for him to bomb Iran. I mean, he literally ran on no, no new wars. So
00:56:15.740everyone was pissed off. I remember Candace was pissed off. Steve Bannon, one of his biggest,
00:56:19.920uh, supporters, um, Charlie, Charlie Kirk was not Charlie Kirk pleaded with him in the white
00:56:24.820house. I didn't know that. Like I found that out later, you know, he literally went to the white
00:56:29.900house and played with him to not do it. And, and, um, apparently from what Bannon, uh, from what I
00:56:34.020heard from Bannon, um, Trump wanted to do it like before the weekend hit and Bannon was able to get it
00:56:38.940like another day. So I don't know. That's maybe, I don't know if that's true or not, but the point
00:56:43.260is, is that it was extremely unpopular with the base. And now it all makes sense why he did it
00:56:48.580because a nuclear bomb being dropped would have been a huge escalation that could have led to
00:56:53.240more problems. And, you know, we all know Iran has a, a missile inventory that could level Tel
00:56:58.560Aviv immediately, right away. Like they, if they launched all their missiles, Israel's gone,
00:57:02.400dude, Israel's gone. Like they're a glass cannon. I think that would have been, if they, if they had
00:57:08.640done that, you would have had every single resistance organization and maybe even some
00:57:14.560States, uh, let's look at Turkey. Let's look at, uh, maybe even packet nuclear Pakistan who would
00:57:22.060have joined in because that, I mean, it sounds crazy to think, but a nuclear bomb on Iran, that
00:57:27.120is a, that's a massive red line to the point where no one's even really talked about, everyone's
00:57:33.540talked about regional war, uh, involving Iran, so on and so forth, but nuclear bomb on Iran.
00:57:39.340That's such a red line that no one was even discussing it. But, um, to, to answer your
00:57:44.460question, I, I did ask that question to, uh, uh, what's his name? Professor side Mohammed
00:57:50.320Morandi, who is, uh, he's a advisor to the Iranian foreign ministry. And, um, he didn't explicitly
00:57:58.880say yes, that happened, but he said, you know, what do you think, you know, how else could they
00:58:06.400convince the U S if Trump is as clean as he says he is, which who knows, uh, how else could they
00:58:13.700convince the U S yeah, it's he, that was the last puzzle for me, bro. Cause I was trying to figure
00:58:18.020out why did he do that? Like, that was so stupid. It was such a bad move. But when, when he said that
00:58:22.700in the interview, I said, you know what, they've done this before. That makes sense. Cause this is
00:58:26.640wildly unpopular with the base. You know, that's why he was so ambiguous about it. Remember like the
00:58:30.340week leading up to it. I don't know if I'm going to do it. I don't know if I will. Maybe I will.
00:58:33.520Maybe I don't. I don't know. So, uh, you know, it is, that's when I was like, you know what, dude?
00:58:38.580Yeah. The Israelis absolutely threatened to use a nuke. That's the only reason he would do that. And,
00:58:42.980and, and me and, you know, right. Cause it's, it's wild how the mainstream media lied to
00:58:47.900the public saying that Israel wasn't getting pummeled. Like they were getting pummeled,
00:58:51.380dude, bad. And I did see on some Israeli media articles and, uh, sorry, in some Israeli news
00:58:57.400outlets were saying like, Oh yeah, we were getting hit pretty hard or whatever. Obviously it's in
00:59:01.000Hebrew. Most people aren't going to dig it up. But if you look through the Israeli media,
00:59:03.880they're admitting that they were getting beat up pretty badly, but it's amazing how CNN, Fox,
00:59:09.120every single mainstream outlet was saying, Oh yeah, Israel is destroying Iran. They're destroying
00:59:12.780them, but they didn't report anything about all the damage that Israel was taking. I had to go on X
00:59:17.640to find it. Like you couldn't find anywhere else. They did a really good job of making it look
00:59:22.100optically like Israel's winning the conflict, but dude, they were getting beat up the whole time.
00:59:26.460The American media was more sympathetic to, uh, Israel's capabilities, defense capabilities than
00:59:32.740even Israel. Israeli media was crazy. It's nuts, dude. That leads me though, to, I know you said you
00:59:40.480wanted to talk about Russia. I don't know how much time you have, but I do want to talk about
00:59:43.860Venezuela with you. Sure. And sure. Your history. Yeah. Uh, and I mean, you specifically worked on a
00:59:50.580lot of, uh, drug smuggling cases, right? Yes, I did. Yeah. So as someone who worked on a lot of
00:59:57.760drug smuggling cases, um, when you heard Trump initially come out and say that this potential
01:00:05.940war on Venezuela was going to be about, uh, narco trafficking, so on and so forth. Uh, what was your
01:00:13.120initial, the cartel, the solos or whatever they called it? What was your initial reaction to that?
01:00:17.980Um, I called it as soon as he designated them as a, as a foreign terrorist organization. I was like,
01:00:22.440he's doing this so that he can utilize, um, and leverage the Intel community so that they can go
01:00:28.960ahead and look at these guys as enemy combatants and they can start doing kinetic strikes. And that's
01:00:33.120exactly what ended up happening. Um, because now all these drug smugglers are effectively like Al
01:00:38.380Qaeda was in 2005, right? It's like kill on site pretty much. So, um, now as far as, um,
01:00:45.500designating them a foreign terrorist organization, whatever, that's fine. I get that. Um, but I don't
01:00:49.740like bombing drug smugglers. I don't like it. I, I, uh, I think it's unnecessary escalations. Um,
01:00:56.460you know, I think, uh, what we're doing with, you know, all of the show of force, uh, right,
01:01:01.540uh, in, in, um, in Venezuela as, uh, right in their backyard is unnecessary. And, uh, quite frankly,
01:01:07.680I think the last thing we need now is more conflicts. I'm not a fan of what he's doing
01:01:11.780with Venezuela and then bombing drug smugglers, you know, is it really necessary? I mean,
01:01:17.020I think we're a country rule of law, right? I think that people should be able to get their
01:01:20.780day in court. Um, and quite frankly, we're like bombing these guys. Like they're not even close
01:01:24.760to United States. A lot of the times when they're getting hit with these strikes, I was going to
01:01:28.020ask you, like they say it would take, okay, there was the submarine. That was, that was probably
01:01:33.160something nefarious when they bombed the submarine. But, uh, a lot of these boats,
01:01:37.540they say they'd have to be refilled with gas, like fuel nine times. They're not big. So it's
01:01:43.360not really conducive to large scale drug smuggling. Do you, do you even think, I mean,
01:01:47.300the Colombians, Trinidad and Tobago, they've come out and said, you know, these are fishermen in a lot
01:01:52.320of cases. Is there any justification really that these, you look at these and you say, Oh, maybe they
01:01:57.980are drug smuggling. So I will say this, um, you know, speed boats, drug smuggling, very common.
01:02:03.900It's what they do. Um, some sophisticated drug organizations do use submarines. I remember I
01:02:07.920was working on a case, um, years ago back, uh, like 2020, um, where we were looking at a Colombian
01:02:15.280drug traffic organization that was utilizing submarines, right? The higher end guys, they do
01:02:18.900have access to that stuff. Um, but we weren't killing these dudes. You know what I mean? Like we,
01:02:24.260we were, we were collecting information. We were, you know,
01:02:27.980getting people identified. We're indicting them, right? We're getting them extradited. We had a
01:02:31.680very good relationship with Columbia. We have a, you know, up until Trump came in, we had an
01:02:35.660extremely good conversation, uh, good relationship with, uh, with Columbia. There's a big DEA office
01:02:40.080there. We're able to carry our guns there. Like, you know, Columbia was always, um, really good to,
01:02:45.540um, American officials. And obviously that relationship is strained now. DEA has like a full sack office
01:02:51.300over there, which is like a hundred plus agents. Right. So, um, you know, I, I, I don't think,
01:02:57.420uh, that this aggression, uh, that we're doing, uh, you know, and we all know why, right? It's not
01:03:04.260really about bombing these drug dealers. It's to justify escalation. That's what it's really about,
01:03:08.420right? It's, it's not about stopping these dudes from bringing in dope. It's about,
01:03:12.020you know, let's kill these guys. Let's see what Venezuela does in retaliation. You know,
01:03:16.600let's use this strategically to, to get access to their resources. So yeah, I'm not a fan of that
01:03:21.380because, you know, I voted for no new wars and I'm, I'm very anti-conflict. I don't think it's
01:03:25.460smart, especially when we have the resources, we can get these guys identified. We can get them
01:03:28.820indicted. We can get them over here. We can get them arrested. Like, you know what I mean? Give
01:03:32.320them their day in court. Well, the funniest part is Trump was, um, doing these deportation flights,
01:03:37.980right. Uh, to all these countries, Venezuela was among them and the Venezuelans were very happy to
01:03:44.100take in these refuge or these, uh, deportees. Yeah. And I know the woman who is leading up the
01:03:49.900receiving end of it in Venezuela, deputy minister, Camilla Saab. And, um, she is, uh,
01:04:00.420she, she, it was like a big media campaign. Like everyone was loving it in Venezuela. I went down
01:04:05.000there and you were there for the elections, right? Yeah. The, the regional elections they had,
01:04:10.100and I went for the presidential elections, but during the regional elections, they were like having
01:04:14.240these big, like, uh, greeting ceremonies where they were meeting the, uh, the deportees and
01:04:20.240a group of the young men, because they don't say they're all part of the cartel, they solos or
01:04:26.340whatever, you know, trafficking organization. Some people were just getting deported for being illegal,
01:04:31.140but I was meeting, uh, a group of the young men all around my age who were accused of being part of
01:04:37.980the cartel. And, um, and they were, they were just like working odd jobs in the U S they weren't a
01:04:44.560part of any, any stuff. They don't have any matching, identifying tattoos, anything like that.
01:04:50.240And, um, and I talked to a bunch of people who are like not in government. And I was asking them
01:04:57.140about cartel de solos or trend, trend, or agua. And they're like, yeah, it used to be a big thing,
01:05:03.120big issue, but not, not anymore. Like it's all, it's all over with. Um, they're making their money
01:05:09.080in other ways right now. And then Trump canceled the airspace. He shut it down and the flight,
01:05:17.240the deportation flights into Venezuela stopped. And then he had to reopen the airspace 24 hours later
01:05:22.360because he realized it was stupid. Like it's a complete mess, you know, and this is my specialty,
01:05:28.120drug trafficking, drug smuggling. This is what I used to do. Right.
01:05:33.120So there's other ways to combat sophisticated drug trafficking organizations like this without
01:05:38.660necessarily blowing them up and unnecessarily escalating conflict. Now, the reality is,
01:05:45.500is that this was all about getting a war with Venezuela, right? This was, so this was a strategic
01:05:50.400move to justify pushing up the ladder, but we have so many different methodologies, right.
01:05:57.300To identify, especially for drug traffickers, you know, whether it's SOD, all these other operations,
01:06:02.440which I won't talk too much detail cause we're on YouTube, but, um, there's ways to really
01:06:07.600sophisticated ways to, you know, combat these drug traffic organizations where you don't
01:06:11.660necessarily have to blow them up. And let's be honest here. If the Democrats get in, dude,
01:06:16.120they're going to come after Pete Hexeth. They're going to come after the entire chain of command.
01:06:19.860They're going to come after Trump. They're going to come after every single person that's involved
01:06:24.220in this because Trump, look, I always say the Democrats started this law fair against Trump
01:06:29.780once they've FBI raided his house and searched at Mar-a-Lago. And we know that that was a political
01:06:34.460persecution, bunch of BS, but Trump getting retribution right now on, you know, he's going
01:06:40.020to probably get Skiff indicted, John Bolton, um, the attorney general for New York, right. She's
01:06:46.040going to get re-indicted again. I know, um, Comey got indicted, but you know, now statute of
01:06:50.020limitations got dismissed, whatever. The point is, is that it's very clear that he's going after his
01:06:53.600political rivals right now. If the Democrats ever get back in, they are going to go after
01:06:58.720every single person from the department of wars, the department of defense, when they changed back
01:07:03.700the name, um, from Hexeth all the way down, that was involved in these kinetic strikes. I have no
01:07:07.960doubt about it, that they're going to go after these guys. I think that's why that Admiral Halsey,
01:07:12.060he was the Southcom commander. That's why he left, uh, or Admiral. Um, he, he resigned. He said,
01:07:18.660I'm not going to be a part of this. Uh, but John Bolton being locked in a tiny prison cell. I mean,
01:07:24.380God willing, that would be a, that'd be a beautiful day. And it's like, I was going to say,
01:07:29.260why is he not doing that? Uh, John Bolton? No, I'm just saying it's like starting bombing Iran,
01:07:35.720Venezuela, when he could be doing stuff like that, putting obscene people in prison, putting Bolton in
01:07:42.340prison, you know, and here's the other thing. Here's the really, really ugly truth. Maritime
01:07:47.760smuggling is not the majority of the drugs coming into United States. The majority of drugs coming
01:07:52.780into United States come in through land borders through Mexico. So if we really want to ground
01:07:57.380or something, yeah, like underground, sometimes overground, right. Depends on where it is. So
01:08:01.000like I was in Laredo, Texas, they were smuggling across the river. A lot of times they take it through
01:08:04.300the bridge and hidden compartments. Um, I could talk about this all day, but the long story short is
01:08:08.700the majority of drugs that come into United States coming through Mexico. So if you're
01:08:12.280real job is to let's go ahead and dismantle these drug traffic organizations, let's really stop this
01:08:16.420stuff. Then you would be targeting Mexico. So targeting Venezuela is like, you know, let's,
01:08:22.480let me pick up this dollar bill when there's a hundred dollar bill right here. Right. It's like,
01:08:25.880it's like, this is a, this is a, um, if we're going to go ahead and actually go after drug trafficking,
01:08:30.620it's Mexico that brings in the majority of the drugs. Maritime smuggling dropped off precipitously
01:08:35.940after the 1980s and the sophistication of the U S coast guard.
01:08:38.920Yeah. I, I think that they're walking into, uh, they're walking into Saigon right now and they
01:08:47.520don't even know what's happening. It's like the, the, now they're shut there. They're seizing as,
01:08:52.340uh, has been reported widely. They're seizing these, uh, oil tankers, any oil tankers leaving
01:08:57.700Venezuela. Um, Russia has already said that they're going to start sending in these, uh,
01:09:03.320shadow fleet vessels so they can still get oil out via non-sanctioned methods. Uh, Trump has said
01:09:09.900that the U S will begin strikes on Venezuelan land soon on oil, um, sanctioned tankers leaving
01:09:18.420Venezuela. The way I see it, and this was reported in the Washington post this week that, uh, well,
01:09:25.260most of Cuba's oil comes from Venezuela because they did not want to be reliant on Russia after
01:09:31.900being betrayed by Russia after the fall of the Soviet union. Um, Russia has obviously said,
01:09:37.200you know, we're here for you now and we're going to be your best friend as has China.
01:09:41.580I think if they try to fuck with Cuba, I mean, a lot more people around the world care about Cuba.
01:09:47.680A lot of people are going to be very upset in the global South. I don't think Russia and China
01:09:51.900are going to let Cuba go down. Um, I think they'd be far more concerned about Cuba and upholding
01:10:00.260stability there than they are in Venezuela. Venezuela should defend itself in all honesty,
01:10:06.480but Cuba, I think if they try to do anything there, I think we actually could see like large
01:10:12.540scale military, uh, installations from Russia and China in ways that we haven't seen in Venezuela.
01:10:18.600You think, um, Cuba is a better ally to, uh, to Russia and China than, uh, Iran? Cause I'll be
01:10:24.340honest, bro. I was a little surprised. I mean, I know the Iranians are stubborn, like they're very
01:10:27.440prideful people. So they probably told the Russians we got this for the most part, but I was surprised
01:10:31.900that, um, China or Russia didn't step in a little bit more. Um, you know, when, when it came to the,
01:10:37.400that conflict with Israel, granted, it was a very limited U S strike, but, um, I mean, what are your
01:10:43.020thoughts on that? You might know more than I do. Um, well there, I guess China sent in, uh,
01:10:48.600um, military cargo planes, uh, during the, during the war, during the 12 day war, um, like
01:10:56.440resource, like what did they, did they air defense equipment? Like what did they bring in?
01:11:01.880I would imagine air defense. I don't think that maybe, maybe munitions or something like that
01:11:07.040as well, but I don't really know. Um, Russia, Iran has a contract with Russia for SU 57 fighter jets.
01:11:16.900Um, but those fighter jets are not supposed to come for until 2026. Uh, and it's not so much as
01:11:25.640like, when are they going to come? It's about building the infrastructure to house those jets
01:11:30.340because that that's a very large undertaking. It's about training the pilots.
01:11:34.060They still got old, old fighter jets from like the seventies, right? When the Shah was in,
01:11:37.520if I'm not mistaken, their air force, they do. Yeah. And so does Venezuela. Venezuela has like
01:11:42.040very old F 16s, I think, which is interesting. Wow. But, um, but Iran is also a big country
01:11:48.660that can defend itself as we saw. Um, I mean, no drone has caused more problems for
01:11:57.100any country across the world than the Shahhead drone that Iran produce and Russia has, you know,
01:12:03.760advance in technology, but, um, they, they're, they're very capable. I was surprised. I was very
01:12:10.340impressed with, um, Iran's retaliation to Israel. I was like, um, I don't think people understand
01:12:16.280that was their Pearl Harbor, dude. Like we're talking about Mossad assets, getting into your country,
01:12:21.100creating drones in the country, assembling them, destroying your air defenses. Iran was literally
01:12:27.460blind for like 24 hours. And it was bad. It was really bad, dude. Literally nuclear scientists
01:12:33.540killed the whole top end of their military commanders killed, bombed. The Israelis did a
01:12:38.260fantastic job of, you know, dismantling them from the inside out. But the way that Iran was able to
01:12:43.500recover in 24 hours and hit them back was, you know, I was shocked at how quickly they were able to
01:12:48.160hit them back and hit them back very hard. The main problem was that, um, because there were so
01:12:54.640many, and you tell me how you got, like, uh, how much time do you have? We're good, man. Uh, cause I
01:12:59.480still want to cover Russia with you. I want to, I want to just let, I want you to like just cook on
01:13:03.820Russia. Cause I know that's your specialty and Ukraine. The main problem was that, as you mentioned,
01:13:09.360they had so many internal, uh, saboteurs and Mossad agents. A lot of these poverty stricken Afghan
01:13:16.500refugees that were in their country participated. Israel is so good at that. I was talking about
01:13:20.620this earlier that the thing with the Mossad and the Israelis, why they're so good is because
01:13:24.820there's Mizrahi Arab Jews. There's Sephardic Jews that look Hispanic. There's Caucasian Jews from East
01:13:29.900Europe. There's Ethiopian Jews. There's Somali Jews. And a lot of these guys are, are Muslim. People
01:13:34.200forget that, um, it's ethno religion. So you can be Jewish, but be Christian. You can be Jewish and be
01:13:40.240a follower of Judaism. You can be Jewish and be a Muslim. So, um, and then they speak the language,
01:13:44.860right? So a lot of these guys, um, that work for Mossad, you wouldn't think that they were Jewish,
01:13:50.200but they are right. Egyptian Jews, Moroccan Jews, et cetera. So that is another thing that no one
01:13:54.080talks about why Israel is so good and why their Mossad is so good is, and why their intelligence
01:13:57.760program is so good in general is because they have informants and they have undercover operatives
01:14:01.960that look and can assimilate to the country that they're trying to infiltrate.
01:14:06.740I misspoke earlier. Also, Iran's going to get the SU 35s, not SU 57s, but they were showing the
01:14:12.400SU 57s off in the air to the Iranian, uh, uh, fighter pilots that are being trained in Russia.
01:14:18.940There's video of that. But anyways, as you were saying about the retaliation, the problem with
01:14:26.920that was, um, as, as you pointed out, they couldn't stop it. They didn't know where it was coming
01:14:31.700from. I mean, they did disband a lot of these cells in the midst of the war, but, um, the air
01:14:38.540defenses, obviously a lot of them got just absolutely nuked in these, uh, internal drone
01:14:45.440operations, because if the air defense is pointed South, uh, and you have drones coming from behind
01:14:52.680it, it can't do anything about it. So they actually did save a lot of their air defenses because they
01:14:58.600just, they just hid them. They put them back into the ground, into their storage, but people were
01:15:03.700wondering like, why is there, there's like no footage of Iranian air defenses doing much of
01:15:09.020anything. It's because they made the decision. Well, either we try to destroy Israel and, you
01:15:16.200know, bank on that, or we have our air defenses operate and we lose almost all of our air defenses
01:15:22.540due to these internal drone attacks. Um, which was, I guess, a decision that ended up being quite
01:15:28.440fruitful for Iran. They made the right decision. Uh, but to your point about Cuba versus Iran,
01:15:33.820there's one other point, uh, very well-respected, uh, professor and political advisor in Russia,
01:15:41.420professor Alexander Dugan. He was the first person to drop the point. And this has now been echoed by
01:15:47.820diplomats on both sides in Iran and Russia, that when Raisi was in charge in Iran, uh, they were
01:15:54.060formulating a plan, uh, an agreement to have a mutual security pact like Russia has with North
01:16:00.360Korea. So that was happening, right? Like an article five, almost, almost not to that extent,
01:16:06.980but very close. And Raisi was a beautiful man, an incredible leader. He was going to be a lot of
01:16:13.500people said he was going to be the next, uh, Supreme leader, the next Ayatollah, uh, in replace of
01:16:18.100Khamenei. And then he met his, his helicopter magically fell out of the sky and no one knows
01:16:23.700what happened. And that's what put Pasekin in right now as the president, right? Yep. And he's
01:16:28.600a reformist. I remember that he's backed by, uh, these very nefarious forces in Iran, like, uh,
01:16:35.820Javad Zarif, who is a, you know, he has made it his entire, um, Qawam, his entire career to push for,
01:16:42.940you know, JCPOA closer relations with the U S uh, let's try to avoid sanctions by doing what the
01:16:49.060West wants us to do. And when they came into power, uh, they, they said, we don't need this,
01:16:56.300uh, joint security deal with, with Russia because we feel as though it's going to upset
01:17:00.380our friends in the U S so that that's what happened there. Um, and then Cuba also just doesn't have the
01:17:07.260means to defend itself. And historically it means a lot for people around the world. And I, I,
01:17:12.900I could not see Russia or China or North Korea for that matter, allowing Cuba to fall easily.
01:17:19.300Yeah. I mean, um, a lot of people underestimate Cuban intelligence, uh, is very good. They,
01:17:25.300they, they, they, you know, you look at the Anna Montez case, you look at, there have been some
01:17:30.300really big, um, leaks and damages to the U S Intel community via Cuba. Cuba is known for stealing
01:17:37.420American Intel all day and selling it to the Chinese and the North Koreans and the Russians. So
01:17:41.620I see what you mean when you say like strategically speaking and their Intel capabilities,
01:17:45.620very underrated. No one ever talks about Cuban intelligence, but they've been busted a bunch of
01:17:49.300times in high levels in the U S government. And it's not fed cope. That's real. I have friends
01:17:55.480in Cuba. And when they, they first told me that, uh, for many years, and I don't know if it's still
01:18:02.000today probably is, but for many years, uh, maybe not with Marco Rubio in charge, but Cuba's main
01:18:08.560export was intelligence on the U S that's a known, you know, the FBI down here, you know,
01:18:16.440I wouldn't be surprised if they don't, if they, I would not be surprised if they didn't have a,
01:18:20.320uh, Cuban anti, um, foreign intelligence squad. Right. I would not be surprised if they didn't
01:18:25.360have one. Like, um, they're very, um, competent in that because that's one of the main things that
01:18:29.660they barter, um, with, you know, allies. And so I can see what you mean with, you know,
01:18:35.760China and Russia in North Korea, not letting it fall because of his strategic location and
01:18:40.780proximity to United States. I mean, we're talking about a one hour flight, dude. Like, uh, it's
01:18:44.620that close. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it would be a, it's a travesty what's happening to Cuba. It's a
01:18:50.220travesty that they are now blockading Venezuelan oil, uh, in route to Cuba. It's horrific. Um, but I
01:18:58.040do not have large scale worries about the future of Cuba. They've persisted through so much. Those
01:19:03.920people are, those are real bad-asses. Those are real patriots. Another funny story. They got some
01:19:09.980of the best. Apparently I didn't know that someone told me, uh, they got like really good doctors
01:19:13.520there. Like they do. They export their doctors. Yeah. That's another thing they've, they've done
01:19:19.380is they, they, well, they sent a lot of doctors, uh, to help with Gazans all across the world and
01:19:25.020Gazan refugees and stuff that makes sense in other countries. But I was dating Cuban girl. And she
01:19:30.420told me like, yeah, I'm, uh, I'm not going to go to a doctor here. I was like, what? So I'm going
01:19:34.200to go back to Cuba and go to doctor now and I'll be back. I was like, what? And she was like, yeah,
01:19:37.520we have, we have better doctors there than here. And it's free. I was like, what? So that's
01:19:41.720medical student. What was that? So Jay Guevara was a medical student. And so that was that part of
01:19:49.160his radicalization. You should watch. Have you seen motorcycle diaries? No, but I'll, I'll check it out.
01:19:54.360Um, it's really good. It's not like, um, it's not LARPy or anything, but it's, it's just like a very,
01:20:00.440uh, it's like a dramatized, uh, depiction of Jay Guevara's radicalization. He went on like a
01:20:09.260motorcycle, um, backpacking trip through Latin America. And I think it was when he was in Argentina,
01:20:17.380he, he stumbled upon like, uh, uh, exiled community of lepers and something like that
01:20:27.240is biblical almost what happened. And then he was so moved by that, that he made it his, um,
01:20:32.920his life's mission to study about, uh, you know, working class consciousness and motorcycle diaries.
01:20:40.520It's really good. Yeah. I'm going to, I'm going to literally just say that right now. Um, okay.
01:20:47.680I just watched the Lincoln lawyer. Have you seen that? No, I haven't seen that one. No.
01:20:51.580Oh, you guys, Matthew McConaughey, that movie is so good. I just watched it before we went live.
01:20:56.080I'll check it out. Uh, anyways, but to talk about Russia too. Yeah. Let's talk about that.
01:21:00.120Dude. Yeah. So, uh, you know, it's, it's gotten to a point, uh, you know, uh, you're there, right?
01:21:04.920You're, um, you're there. You obviously have extremely intimate knowledge of what's going on over
01:21:10.860there. And to be honest, you know, um, you're one of the few people, you, Gonzalo Lira,
01:21:15.560you know, recipes to Gonzalo Lira, um, you know, and some other individuals, uh, Scott Ritter,
01:21:21.180et cetera. Um, there's not many people I watched for Russia coverage, right? Because the Western
01:21:25.420media is just like, let's be honest, man. They fucking lie all day. I mean, under the Biden
01:21:28.480administration, it was so bad how much they lied. Um, and now we're kind of seeing it that like,
01:21:33.540we never had the upper hand. I mean, I think Trump's frustration with Putin and him trying to
01:21:38.220concede on some of this stuff. The Biden administration lied to us all the time. We're winning this
01:21:41.300war. We got this under control. So you Lira, Scott Ritter, you guys were right the whole
01:21:46.260time. Right. And it's funny cause they banned you off YouTube for being right about it.
01:21:49.380Right. And now thankfully you're back. Um, but yeah, dude, I mean, if you could kind of just,
01:21:53.460cause I got a bunch of my people watching now, we got like three, 4,000 people watching between
01:21:56.240all the platforms. Uh, yeah. With yours, like a five, five K plus, um, if you could kind of just
01:22:01.160give us like an update of like what's been going on, maybe like the last year or so with,
01:22:04.720with, uh, Russia and Ukraine. Yeah. I'll say I'm, I'm surprised how many people are still
01:22:09.520watching my stream despite the, despite the technical glitch, but that's a good sign.
01:22:14.420It's good information, bro. They like, they're just listening. They don't care about the video.
01:22:18.180That's good. Well, the, yeah, it's really crazy. I'm in Moscow right now. So I will say,
01:22:23.940I think there's some people online who, whether they're talking about the middle East or Russia
01:22:27.700or whatever, they try to get the clicks, maybe a little bit hyperbolic sometimes. Like I'll always
01:22:33.940be real about the situation. And I think the most simple way to summarize what's happening right
01:22:39.260now is in 2022, in the summer of 2022, there was a large scale Ukrainian counter offensive,
01:22:47.520which coincided with the fake outs that the British pulled by telling Putin that we're going to have
01:22:53.360the Ukrainians agreed to the Istanbul, you know, peace settlement. They didn't, they, they faked out.
01:22:59.060And then the Ukrainians went on a large scale counter offensive after the Russians willingly pulled
01:23:04.180out of some positions to show goodwill on their end of the deal. So that was a big, that was a big
01:23:11.440problem for the Russians at that point. In 2023, in the summer of 2023, the Ukrainians were supposed
01:23:19.700to have the major Zaporozhia counter offensive in the South of the Donbass region. Some of you might
01:23:27.020remember that. Would you be able to pull up a map by chance? That would actually be way better.
01:23:31.660Sure. I'll show you. Yeah. Just cause I really want my audience to take in what you're saying
01:23:34.440here. Um, because, uh, I'm going to bring up a pro Ukraine map too. Sure. Awesome. Perfect.
01:23:40.420Perfect. Cause like, this is a, I know my people are going to, you know, they're going to love this.
01:23:44.480So I, I, um, and obviously I haven't kept up with what's been going on. I think the last I looked,
01:23:51.180um, Trump was frustrated with Russia. He's not able to kind of get what he wants. We could talk about
01:23:55.540the diplomatic situation as well, uh, with the United States. Um, but yeah, I mean, dude, for
01:24:03.060years, you know, people were, you know, you guys were saying, yo, Russia's kicking their asses.
01:24:06.540Russia's kicking their asses. They're like, no, bro. No, this is a line. Oh, these guys are all
01:24:09.780pooing stooges. Now look at it. Like, you know, it's, uh, yeah, give me one second. Yeah. Take it.
