Ep. 397 - CNN’s Credibility Sleeps With The Fishes
Summary
Chris Cuomo gets called "Fredo" by a right wing troll, and CNN tries to cover up for him. It's the funniest thing that has come out in at least two weeks, and we're here to explain why.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
A hilarious right wing troll calls Chris Cuomo Fredo to his face. Fredo flies off the handle
00:00:07.580
and then both Cuomo and CNN try to play the race card to excuse him, insisting that Fredo
00:00:14.000
is a slur for Italians. As the only paisano of Italian American descent over here at the Daily
00:00:20.380
Wire, I will explain the difference between words that make fun of Italians and words that make fun
00:00:26.660
of Stronsi like Chris Cuomo. Then more bizarre details emerge about Jeffrey Epstein's obvious
00:00:32.420
murder at the hands of Hillary. I mean, suicide, suicide. Then the culture wars heat up as 2020
00:00:39.800
Democrats spread flagrant lies, unsensitive racial issues. All that and more. I'm Michael Knowles,
00:00:44.440
and this is the Michael Knowles Show. Suicide. Yeah, that's the ticket. That's the ticket. Uh,
00:00:56.140
this is the absolute greatest video that has come out in at least two weeks. It is the funniest
00:01:01.340
thing on the internet. Chris Cuomo of CNN being confronted by this right wing troll. We'll explain
00:01:06.420
what happened, what it means, why Cuomo's defense is bogus, and also maybe why we shouldn't encourage
00:01:11.240
these kinds of things, but we can laugh when they happen. We will get to that in a second. But first,
00:01:16.040
let me tell you something. On occasion, I have actually done business. I mean, now my job is to
00:01:21.740
kind of just make fun of media figures and politicians. But in the old days, at least,
00:01:25.640
I used to be involved in growing businesses, in starting businesses. And let me tell you,
00:01:30.000
the problem growing businesses is, the problem that they have is that they sometimes have this
00:01:35.980
hodgepodge of business systems, so they can't know their numbers. This is this whole slew of
00:01:42.180
different systems and processors that will keep you from knowing the actual fundamentals of your
00:01:48.220
business. That's where NetSuite comes in real handy. Introducing NetSuite by Oracle,

00:02:12.440
is money. And especially for growing businesses, I've been involved in businesses that have made
00:02:16.300
a ton of money and businesses that haven't made a ton of money. And the one thing they have in
00:02:21.320
common when you start is at the beginning, every penny counts, every dollar counts, maybe more
00:02:25.460
importantly, every minute counts. I really wish that we had had a system like this when we'd started
00:02:30.720

00:03:08.000
This, I was going to go get a lot of work done last night when I got home.
00:03:14.560
I had a ton of things on the schedule to do, wanted to prepare the show. And then
00:03:18.360
this video went viral on the internet. CNN's Chris Cuomo screaming at a Trump supporter
00:03:25.360
because the Trump supporter called him Fredo, which refers to the godfather, refers to the stupid
00:03:30.760
brother in the godfather, Fredo. Chris flies off the handle and then I was just sucked down a vortex of
00:03:36.240
memes for the rest of the night. Here is the beginning. Thank goodness it was filmed by this
00:03:42.540
same trollish guy who was provoking Cuomo. Thank goodness it was filmed. Here is Cuomo reacting to
00:03:50.040
I thought that, I thought, I thought that's who you were. Oh.
00:03:52.400
No, barking ass bitches from the right call me Fredo. My name is Chris Cuomo. I'm an anchor on CNN.
00:03:57.740
Fredo is from the godfather. He was our weak brother.
00:04:01.700
And they use it as an Italian dispersion. Any of you Italian?
00:04:05.340
Are you Italian? It's a f***ing insult to your people.
00:04:08.220
It's an insult to your f***ing people. It's like the N-word for us.
00:04:13.740
You're a much more reasonable guy in person than you seem to be on television.
00:04:16.980
That last line, I mean, this guy's obviously a pro. Just, oh, you seem to be much more reasonable
00:04:25.460
in person than you do on television. Chris Cuomo's claim that he's reacting to is that
00:04:31.720
the word Fredo, referring to the brother, the stupid brother and the godfather, is like the N-word
00:04:39.540
for Italians. No, it's not. It just objectively is not. I don't think it's ever been referred
00:04:46.860
to that way. I am an Italian-American. I grew up in the Italian-American culture here in
00:04:52.020
New York, right where Fredo Cuomo is from. Actually, one time when I was a waiter at a
00:04:56.540
restaurant in high school, I was the waiter for Fredo's brother, Andrew Cuomo. Andrew Cuomo
00:05:02.360
lived in my town, went to my grandmother's church. I'm from exactly the same place as the Cuomo
00:05:08.220
family from exactly the same ethnic background. Fredo is not the N-word for Italians. It is
00:05:15.160
specifically an insult that is used to make fun of Chris Cuomo. And more broadly, it's an insult
00:05:22.120
that's used to make fun of the weak or stupid brother or son in a prominent family. This is an
00:05:29.000
insult. It is an insult for stupid people, not for Italians. It also can't be the N-word for Italians
00:05:36.320
because Italians have a lot of swear words, curse words, racial epithets for themselves and for others.
00:05:43.400
And so specifically, the N-word in the Italian-American community is actually the M-word. It refers to a
00:05:51.000
word that comes from Italian and from Sicilian. I'm not going to say the word, but it's a word for
00:05:56.820
black people and it means eggplant, I guess, because eggplants have kind of dark. I'm not even going to
00:06:02.380
get into it. But so that, it actually would be the M-word. It would be the direct parallel for the
00:06:07.300
N-word. And if we're talking about a racial epithet for Italians, there are a lot of them.
00:06:11.740
They begin with the letter G. They begin with the letter W. Actually, a lot of them begin with the
00:06:16.540
letter G. There are a lot of terms that you can, they begin with the letter D. The one letter they
00:06:21.780
don't begin with is the letter F because Fredo is not a racial epithet for Italians. That is weak
00:06:28.460
sauce. But I'm not surprised that Cuomo jumped to that because the left and CNN always jump
00:06:33.080
to play the race card whenever they can, even when it's absurd. And it's virtually always absurd when
00:06:38.120
they do it. And it's certainly absurd in this case. What he is referring to, for those of you who
00:06:43.300
haven't seen the greatest movie ever made and the second greatest movie ever made, Godfather Part 1
00:06:48.800
and then Godfather Part 2. Here is the irony of it all is that someone calls Chris Cuomo Fredo and
00:06:57.340
then Chris Cuomo gets angry about this and his reaction is immediately to behave exactly like
00:07:06.840
I'm your older brother, Mike, and I was stepped over.
00:07:11.260
It ain't the way I wanted it. I can handle things. I'm smart. Not like everybody says.
00:07:22.660
You called me Fredo, but I'm not Fredo. I'm smart.
00:07:27.800
I got passed over for governor of New York, like my father Mario and my brother Andrew,
00:07:33.160
but I'm smart. I can do things. I can handle things. I'm not dumb like people think.
00:07:40.160
That was almost word for word, his response to this. Absolutely high-larious.
00:07:46.240
So then he doubled down. So he said, this is a racial slur because that's just what the left does.
00:07:51.920
They play the race card the minute they feel threatened or they feel insulted or they feel
00:07:56.420
like they can't answer you. CNN though, the vice president and spokesman for CNN,
00:08:02.020
Matt Dornick doubled down on this as well. He wrote, quote,
00:08:05.100
Chris Cuomo defended himself when he was verbally attacked with the use of an ethnic slur
00:08:09.540
in an orchestrated setup. We completely support him. That first sentence is almost entirely false.
00:08:16.520
Every, there are three things there he said that just are ridiculous. Verbally attacked,
00:08:22.620
ethnic slur, and orchestrated setup. He wasn't verbally attacked. Some guy called him Fredo.
00:08:30.840
It's like a little passing insult. It's not an attack. We're not equating speech with violence here.
00:08:35.220
He didn't go assault him. Chris Cuomo assaulted him. I mean, he literally threatened to do him
00:08:39.940
physical violence, which we'll see in a second. But the guy didn't verbally attack him. He made
00:08:45.640
fun of him. He said, he said, hey, Fredo. Hey, look at you, Fredo. Then ethnic slur. It's not an
00:08:50.760
ethnic slur. We showed that. And then orchestrated setup. No, it's not an orchestrated setup.
00:08:55.580
They were at a restaurant. Here's what really happened. A dude at a restaurant saw Chris Cuomo and
00:09:01.080
made fun of him. That's it. That's all it was. Not an ethnic slur, not orchestrated setup,
00:09:09.500
not verbally attacked. Here's how, by the way, if you don't need to just take my word for it,
00:09:14.540
even though I do have some expertise on this coming from New York as someone of swarthy complexion,
00:09:19.600
whose ancestors almost certainly paddled a sardine boat over from Palermo. You don't need to just take
00:09:24.840
my expertise because I have proof that CNN does not really think that Fredo is an ethnic slur.
00:09:32.620
And that's because CNN contributors and guests have repeatedly used the term Fredo to make fun of
00:09:38.660
Republicans, not even Italian Americans, just Republicans. Here's fake Republican Anna Navarro
00:09:44.740
using the term Fredo on Chris Cuomo's show to make fun of Donald Trump Jr.
00:09:49.820
Daddy kept Fredo back home. So who cares what Donald Trump Jr. says? Who cares what Donald
00:09:57.820
Trump Jr. says? All right. You know what? I don't want to talk about, you know, that entitled
00:10:01.680
Is that a racial slur? Is it a racial slur against what? The Scottish? The Trumps are Scottish, right?
00:10:09.900
I guess, I guess Fredo's an ethnic slur against the Italians and the Scots. You know, I'm a little
00:10:14.320
bit Scottish too. I tell you, it's also not an ethnic slur against the Scots. Is it an offensive
00:10:18.220
term toward Don Jr.? Yeah. Well, they're basically calling Don stupid. Don, by the way,
00:10:22.760
Don Jr. is in no way the Fredo of the Trump family, but that's neither here nor there.
00:10:27.320
Probably just one time though, right? Well, that's just one example, Michael. You're picking
00:10:30.620
out that. Well, you're fortunate. How convenient. One cherry picked example, right? Nope. Here is Rick
00:10:35.520
Wilson, another fake Republican also using the term on CNN. It's absolutely part of this,
00:10:40.420
this, you know, all the, all the forces of society are arrayed against us. It's just us and Donald
00:10:45.080
Trump against the world. And look, Devin Nunes is proving himself again and again to be the Fredo
00:10:50.860
of the Republican party. Oh gosh, an ethnic slur. Oh my goodness. Is this the end of the world? I
00:10:56.400
don't know. Ryan Lizza and Anderson Cooper, who were on that show, don't seem to be reacting too
00:11:01.260
strongly against it. Any other examples? Yes. The Boston Globe ran a whole article titled, quote,
00:11:06.740
is Don Jr. our era's Fredo Corleone? George Takei, who played the character on Star Trek a million
00:11:13.320
years ago. He retweeted it saying, quote, we should stop calling Junior Don. We should start
00:11:17.640
calling him Fredo. But actually you can even put all of those aside because my evidence that it's
00:11:23.960
not an ethnic slur that, that CNN or Chris Cuomo even takes seriously is that Chris Cuomo himself
00:11:31.020
referred to himself as Fredo. We'll get to that in a second. Then we'll get to what this means
00:11:35.500
more broadly for the culture wars. But first I have got to thank our friends over at Lending Club,
00:11:41.800
because this is a message for everybody. Everybody can let credit card debt run away with them and
00:11:46.380
accumulate a ton of it and pay absurd interest rates. I'm specifically talking to the fellas
00:11:50.420
though, because just speaking from experience, I know guys tend to not pay attention to their
00:11:55.180
finances. They let things run away. Women can do it too though. Don't do it. We have this idea in
00:12:01.420
our culture. It's buy it now, pay for it later, right? Everybody hears this. And that's how credit
00:12:05.620
card companies rope you in. Then they leave out the part about paying it later with interest.
00:12:10.620
Lending Club allows you to consolidate your debt or pay off credit cards with one fixed monthly
00:12:16.360
payment. Lending Club has helped millions of people regain control of their finances with
00:12:21.040
affordable fixed rate personal loans, which means no trips to the bank. That's great. I almost never
00:12:25.340
go to the bank as it is because I'm a millennial. No high interest credit cards. Just go to
00:12:29.660
LendingClub.com. You tell them about yourself, how much you want to borrow. You pick the terms that
00:12:34.040
are right for you. If you're approved, your loan is automatically deposited into your bank
00:12:37.940
account in as little as a few days. I think people let their finances run away with them,
00:12:42.480
not because they're stupid, not even because they're totally irresponsible. It's because
00:12:45.720
they're a little lazy. They don't want to just do the simple things they can do to save a ton of
00:12:49.720
money. Lending Club is the number one peer-to-peer lending platform with over $35 billion in loans
00:12:55.100

00:13:12.800
My final bit of evidence that neither Chris Cuomo nor CNN actually believes Fredo is an ethnic slur
00:13:19.840
is that Fredo, I'm sorry, Chris, used it to refer to himself on a New York radio show hosted by
00:13:27.540
Curtis Sliwa. Here he is. There's a group of people, of politicos, who always hint that they
00:13:32.860
might run, but don't necessarily plunge all the way. And they are members of La Cuomo Nostra.
00:13:40.820
Yes, exactly. So you better be careful that they, that your brother Andrew doesn't kiss you on both
00:13:46.600
cheeks. And then all of a sudden they take you out into the middle of the lake and then where's Chris?
00:13:51.120
All right. This, I've actually, I've been at political events with Curtis Sliwa, a classic
00:13:55.040
New York character. And this is just a term. That's a term that people used to refer to dumb people.
00:14:01.680
And there in a moment where Chris Cuomo wasn't being sanctimonious and beating his own chest,
00:14:06.920
where he was actually being a little self-effacing. He referred to himself as Fredo Cuomo because he
00:14:11.760
is the Fredo of the Cuomo family. There's no doubt about it. I used to defend him. It's like,
00:14:16.620
he's actually my favorite Cuomo. I'll explain why in a second. But now I can't because he actually
00:14:22.260
just behaved like Fredo would behave. I'm smart. I can handle things. Now, in defense of Cuomo,
00:14:32.060
Cuomo, I will say, I think it's perfectly fine to defend your own honor, especially if you're out
00:14:36.920
there, you're at a restaurant or a beer garden or whatever that is. And you're there maybe with
00:14:40.820
your family, maybe with some friends and some jerk calls you an idiot. I think it's perfectly
00:14:45.420
fine to defend your honor. I'm not one of these wallflowers, you know, or these people who will
00:14:49.860
say, oh, nevermind. No, it's okay. I can never talk back or never fight back. No, that's crazy.
00:14:55.360
Uh, obviously Cuomo here had escalated it, but look, if that happened to me, I, I, maybe I would
00:15:02.380
have talked back to the guy. Hopefully I would have had better lines than, than, uh, Fredo Cuomo
00:15:08.380
did because Fredo escalates. Here's, here's Fredo escalating the fight.
00:15:13.120
If you want to play, then we'll play. You've got something you want to say about what I do on
00:15:16.740
television and say it, but don't be going to fall me. Hey, listen, I don't want any problems.
00:15:20.800
You're going to have a big problem. It's a little different on TV.
00:15:24.060
Don't insult me like that. I didn't insult you. You call me Fredo. It's like, I call
00:15:28.120
you punk. You like that? You want to be your nickname? I didn't call you that. You called
00:15:32.160
me Fredo. You know my name now. Fredo. You did not think my name was Fredo. Don't be
00:15:37.100
a liar. You want to be a man, stand up like a man. I'm standing up, man. You want to be
00:15:40.760
a man up here. Get on it. Get on what you said. Get on what you said. Listen, man, I don't
00:15:46.080
have a problem with you, man. You're going to have a problem. What? What are you going to do
00:15:48.920
about it? I'll ruin you. I'll throw you down these stairs like a punk. Please do.
00:15:53.600
Why? So you can sue? So you can sue? Why don't you do it? Go take a swing. You want to call
00:15:58.020
me Fredo. Take a swing. Take a swing. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Take a swing. No,
00:16:04.740
no, come on, boy. Come on, boy. You want to call me? Call me? Hey, listen, man. I'm not doing
00:16:09.600
anything. I'll wreck your stuff. I'll wreck your stuff. You didn't know what you were doing
00:16:14.800
when you called me Fredo. I thought it was your name. Break it up now. I thought it was your
00:16:17.700
name. You didn't know, right? You didn't know what you were saying, right? I thought it
00:16:21.480
was his name. I'm breaking it up. I'm breaking it up. This is my buddy. Hey.
00:16:27.500
Absolutely hilarious. So obviously, Fredo's the one who escalates it here, and he doesn't
00:16:31.640
even use good language. He said, you called me, you can barely hear it because you have
00:16:34.960
to bleep out every word, but you called me effing Fredo. I'll call you punk female dog.
00:16:40.340
I'll call you this. I'll throw you down that effing flight of stairs. All right, that's an actual
00:16:45.360
elevation that it just doesn't, unless you're going to back it up, it doesn't look good to threaten
00:16:49.780
something like that and then not do it. And he's obviously not going to do it. So if this happened
00:16:54.000
to me, I might talk back, but hopefully I would have some better lines. As a matter of prudence,
00:16:58.840
it's probably better to walk away and he says, hey, you're Fredo. I'd be like, hey, all right.
00:17:04.060
F you. See you later. Bye-bye. You know, you just kind of maybe flip. When people would yell at
00:17:08.340
Scalia, sometimes he would just flick the underside of his chin, which people mistakenly, people just
00:17:12.940
don't understand anything about the Italian American culture. Because the Washington Post,
00:17:16.820
I believe it was reported that the flick underneath your chin means F you. It doesn't. It means I don't
00:17:23.680
care. I don't care what you say. Maybe that's what I would have done if I had been prudent. And
00:17:27.620
if Chris Cuomo had been prudent, that's what you could do. My guess, he was out at a restaurant or a
00:17:32.880
beer garden. Maybe he had a couple adult beverages, a couple of Coca-Colas. He was feeling a little bit in
00:17:38.400
his cups and he let his temper run away with him. This is not the end of the world. And it shouldn't
00:17:43.900
be encouraged. Look, I don't like getting harassed in public by some jerk lefty. And he probably
00:17:49.580
doesn't want to get harassed in public by a hilarious right winger. So, okay, I don't think
00:17:54.360
people need to be harassing media figures. Also though, you do have to be prepared for these
00:17:59.880
sort of things to happen because of another important piece of advice in The Godfather Part
00:18:04.420
do. This from the Jewish gangster Hyman Roth, this is the business we've chosen.
00:18:14.280
I let it go. And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen.
00:18:24.880
This is the business we've chosen. All right. If you're in the public space, if you put yourself
00:18:30.580
out there in the public, if you go in the media, then you're going to get public criticism. That's
00:18:35.340
just the way it is. It's not good. We should discourage it. You don't want to get accosted
00:18:38.680
while you're out with your family. But that is the sort of thing that you can get accosted for.
00:18:42.360
And specifically, the reason why Chris Cuomo is a real hypocrite on this is that Chris Cuomo himself
00:18:48.300
on CNN once attacked a 16-year-old kid for smirking while a maniac accosted him. He said he shouldn't
00:18:56.180
have even done that. Here's Cuomo. The face-to-face encounter, the man, Nathan Phillips,
00:19:00.520
apparently wanted to diffuse the tension, and he walked up to do exactly that. And surely the kid,
00:19:05.280
Nick Sandman, he doesn't seem to be afraid, but he did make a choice, and that was to make it into
00:19:10.080
a standoff. That was not a good choice. Was it legal? Sure. That's not my test, and it shouldn't
00:19:16.500
be the test. Here's mine. If that were my son, who happens to go to a great Catholic school,
00:19:21.420
would I like what he did? If I were there, would I have allowed the kids to be in that
00:19:26.120
situation? No and no. There was a disrespected play that doesn't work for me in these circumstances.
00:19:32.940
Yeah, definitely, Fredo. Okay, that makes sense. So you've got a 16-year-old kid who is doing
00:19:38.160
nothing wrong other than waiting for his school bus on the Washington Mall. He's being screamed at by
00:19:44.280
black supremacists called the Hebrew Israelites, calling him all sorts of awful names. Then there's
00:19:49.140
a leftist lunatic activist, a guy named Nathan Phillips, who marches up to the 16-year-old kid,
00:19:54.380
starts banging a drum in his face, and this kid exhibits saintly patience, saintly restraint,
00:20:00.760
and saintly prudence. And Chris Cuomo attacks him for it because the kid didn't, I don't know what,
00:20:05.500
shine the guy's shoes or something? But meanwhile, some guy makes an offhand comment to Chris Cuomo at
00:20:10.700
a beer garden or a restaurant or wherever they were, and Cuomo loses his mind, threatens to throw him down
00:20:15.780
a flight of stairs and unleashes a stream of expletives. Maybe Chris Cuomo should call up
00:20:22.300
that 16-year-old kid, Nick Sandman, ask him for advice on how to handle public criticism,
00:20:26.820
on how to handle public confrontations. Absolutely ridiculous. I do, however, have, just before we
00:20:32.160
leave this Fredo Cuomo story, get to more important things, I do have a very unpopular opinion.
00:20:38.740
Chris Cuomo is my favorite Cuomo. He actually is. He is so much better than his brother and father.
00:20:44.160
I'm obviously damning with faint praise here because his brother and father are two of the
00:20:47.820
worst political figures in American history. His brother legalized the killing of babies up until
00:20:52.380
the point of birth in New York state, removed penal protections such that if you murder a woman who's
00:20:57.260
pregnant, no longer will that be counted as a double murder. That's only a single murder, even if she's
00:21:02.000
about to give birth. He lit up Freedom Tower in pink on the day that he legalized infanticide in New
00:21:06.920
York. His father, also Mario Cuomo, is almost worse. Mario Cuomo is the guy who constructed the main
00:21:13.400
political argument for supporting abortion, which is that Mario and Andrew, and I guess Chris, are
00:21:19.180
nominally Catholic. They don't really seem to be Catholic because they support murdering babies as
00:21:23.880
they're being born. But what Mario did was he wanted to give cover to Geraldine Ferraro, who is running as
00:21:29.360
the first Catholic woman pro-abortion vice presidential candidate. And so he gave her cover by saying,
00:21:36.480
I am personally opposed to abortion, but I think it should be totally legal. I would never impose
00:21:43.940
my personal views on the public. What are you talking about? You impose your personal views on
00:21:49.160
taxes, on healthcare, on our forms of government, on the judiciary. You impose your personal views
00:21:56.260
everywhere in politics. That's what politics is in a representative democracy, is you are elected
00:22:01.060
and then you use your judgment and your views to govern the country. And when you're voting,
00:22:07.120
you use your personal views to elect people, to represent you in the government. It's a total BS.
00:22:12.260
Also, if you think that abortion is tantamount to murder, which is the position of the Catholic
00:22:17.740
Church and it's ostensibly the position you're supposed to hold, then in what universe can you say,
00:22:22.800
look, I think murder is wrong personally, but I don't think we should have any laws against murder.
00:22:27.020
I can't impose my personal views against murder on the public. What nonsense is that? And yet this
00:22:32.160
became the main argument for abortion supporters to give them cover. So Andrew and Mario are absolute
00:22:39.000
degenerates. I mean, absolutely horrible people. By comparison, Fredo ain't looking too bad. He lost
00:22:43.980
his temper there, but I'll take him any day over that awful brother and his awful father.
00:22:48.500
Speaking of terrible people, we've got to get to the latest on Jeffrey Epstein. CBS News is now
00:22:53.080
reporting, quote, there was shrieking heard from Jeffrey Epstein's jail cell the morning he died.
00:22:57.960
And you know, when you kill yourself, you're usually shrieking, right? Probably shrieking
00:23:02.720
somebody to the effect of, oh no, Hillary, please don't. It sounds like, that's the sound you make
00:23:07.540
when you commit suicide. No, I'm only kidding. So the first line of the piece says, quote,
00:23:11.660
on the morning of Jeffrey Epstein's death, there was shouting and shrieking from his jail cell,
00:23:15.080
a source familiar with the situation told CBS News. That doesn't sound great. Second line is,
00:23:20.820
quote, corrections officers attempted to revive him while saying, quote, breathe Epstein, breathe.
00:23:25.680
So it's not a well-written story because you don't know if the shouting was from Epstein or if it was
00:23:30.840
from the guards or the people who discovered his body. Another inmate talking to another outlet said
00:23:36.620
that he heard nothing when Epstein killed himself. It was a perfectly silent act.
00:23:41.660
Now there's a raid on the private island that Epstein owned. The New York Post is reporting
00:23:47.800
that Jeffrey Epstein used a bedsheet to hang himself and that he was unattended for hours.
00:23:54.760
Again, more lurid details are going to come out. We still don't have that autopsy.
00:23:58.980
It's all very suspicious. Even more suspicious is a New York Times reporter, James B. Stewart,
00:24:04.700
sat down with Epstein a year ago. And we didn't get this at the time because the interview is on
00:24:09.520
background. So Epstein said, yeah, I'll talk to you, but it's going to be on background. So you can't use
00:24:13.360
my name. What the reporter said is now that Epstein is dead, he thinks that that is no longer binding.
00:24:18.500
And I think that's a fair principle. So here is what the guy learned, the New York Times reporter.
00:24:26.320
He said he walked into Epstein's giant mansion and there was a young girl in her late teens or maybe
00:24:31.360
20 who opened the door. She looked like she was from Eastern Europe. He thought, wow, this guy is so
00:24:35.660
flagrantly just showing off his and flaunting his preference for underage girls. He then said Epstein
00:24:44.380
showed him a photo of Mohammed bin Salman, crown prince of Saudi Arabia. He said that Mohammed bin
00:24:50.700
Salman had visited Epstein many times and that they spoke frequently. Now with all of his claims,
00:24:56.440
you never know if Epstein is BSing or if it's true because he's obviously a con man. But on the other
00:25:01.300
hand, he's hung around with a lot of powerful people, some of the most powerful people in the
00:25:05.720
world, including two US presidents. We also know that Epstein was issued a Saudi passport. So he's
00:25:11.460
clearly got some relationship with Saudi Arabia. And if he is a big sex trafficker, that wouldn't be
00:25:17.940
very surprising. Then Epstein showed the reporter photos with Bill Clinton and Woody Allen, two of the
00:25:24.280
best known sexual degenerates in America. He then implied that he was advising Elon Musk and Tesla.
00:25:31.300
He then waxed philosophic about how awful it was to criminalize sex with teenage girls.
00:25:36.680
How for most of history, this was perfectly acceptable. So he was speaking like a guy who
00:25:40.620
genuinely has the sexual preference for young girls. And he was saying it's beautiful. It's a
00:25:45.220
wonderful thing. How awful. He compared it to homosexuality. So that was long considered a crime,
00:25:49.620
but now it's no longer considered a crime. He told this reporter that he had seen a lot of
00:25:57.180
prominent tech figures doing drugs and arranging for sex. Epstein apparently never drank or did any
00:26:02.880
drugs, just underage girls. The, the reporter then got a call from Epstein a week later asking if he
00:26:09.900
wanted to have dinner with Woody Allen and Epstein. He then got a call a week after that asking if he
00:26:15.060
wanted to have dinner with Michael Wolff, the author of that trash book about the Trump administration,
00:26:20.260
and Steve Bannon, former Breitbart head and former strategist for Trump. Did these dinners happen?
00:26:28.220
We don't know. Were these guys in Epstein's orbit? Maybe. We, I don't know. Some of them obviously
00:26:34.060
were, but maybe not all of them. Epstein then asked the reporter to write a biography of Epstein.
00:26:39.480
And the reporter said he thought that Epstein just wanted companionship. He just wanted someone to talk
00:26:45.000
to. The reporter turned it down. So now we don't have the details from that biography. Probably
00:26:50.000
would have been pretty interesting. The, the portrait that's being painted here in this New York Times
00:26:53.960
piece is one of a hustler and a con man. So maybe not this international man of mystery more than just
00:27:02.120
a, a really, really successful common hustler. Maybe that's the image being painted. Again, we don't
00:27:08.580
know. All you can take are these little pictures. I mean, these guys do exist. Real hardcore hustlers do
00:27:14.440
exist, especially in New York. I've met a few of them, but here's the key. Here's the key from,
00:27:19.360
from the reporter. The overriding impression I took away from our roughly 90 minute conversation
00:27:25.940
was that Mr. Epstein knew an astonishing number of rich, famous, and powerful people and had photos
00:27:31.720
to prove it. He also claimed to know a great deal about these people. Some of it potentially damaging
00:27:36.260
or embarrassing, including details about their supposed sexual proclivities and recreational drug use.
00:27:40.960
Vanity Fair doubled down on this. They got bombshell information about the private sex island
00:27:46.380
from Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's partner in crime. We'll get to that in one second,
00:27:52.420
plus a few more stories that we just can't miss today. But first, I have got to say goodbye to
00:27:56.960
Facebook and YouTube. And by the way, you're almost out of time to purchase tickets to our

00:28:54.920
So we got this bombshell out of Vanity Fair. I mean, it's hard to call it a bombshell. Every story in
00:29:00.760
the Epstein saga seems to be a bombshell, but they do keep coming out. And this is from Vanity Fair,
00:29:06.620
specifically about Ghislaine Maxwell, who was that British socialite whose father was a zillionaire
00:29:12.880
who had connections to the KGB and possibly Mossad to foreign intelligence agencies. He was kind of an
00:29:18.400
international man of mystery, died under strange circumstances. Ghislaine Maxwell was hanging around
00:29:23.440
Epstein all the time. And this is from the article, quote,
00:29:29.420
Maxwell would have her rollerblades FedExed to Epstein's island in the Caribbean and said she got her
00:29:34.760
helicopter's license so she could transport anyone she liked without pilots knowing who they were.
00:29:42.280
Maxwell also said the island had been completely wired for video.
00:29:45.720
The friend thought that she and Epstein were videotaping everyone on the island
00:29:49.020
as an insurance policy, as blackmail. Sounds about right. I mean, the helicopter thing is really
00:29:56.900
big. We read before that Maxwell was flying people on helicopter. The reason to fly people on helicopter
00:30:02.040
over there is then you don't need to hire the pilots for the private jet. So for instance,
00:30:07.460
if somebody like a Bill Clinton or a prime minister of somewhere or a very important figure
00:30:11.820
wants to get to that island without having to really disclose it, without really being noticed,
00:30:17.000
if you keep it that close, where it's not even a staffer, but it's one of the business partners
00:30:22.000
for Epstein, romantic partner for Epstein, coming up in the one flying them over, that raises serious
00:30:29.360
questions. I mean, that's very, very convenient. Plus the idea that everything was wired. So you had
00:30:34.700
cameras, you had photos. Apparently when SDNY raided the mansion, the largest private residence in
00:30:42.020
Manhattan owned by Epstein, that they found compromising material on different people.
00:30:47.580
So it does seem like there was a big blackmail scheme going on here. The question is, was it a
00:30:51.660
state-backed conspiracy or was Maxwell just a kook? This is what Vanity Fair says, quote,
00:30:57.820
a source close to Maxwell says she spoke glibly and confidently about getting girls to sexually
00:31:02.740
service Epstein, saying this was simply what he wanted and describing the way she'd drive around to
00:31:07.640
spas and trailer parks in Florida to recruit them. She would claim she had a phone job for them and
00:31:13.160
quote, you'll make lots of money, meet everyone and I'll change your life. So who knows? Who knows?
00:31:21.460
I mean, she obviously had this personal relationship. There's apparently this weird sex temple. It looks
00:31:27.220
like an Egyptian sort of temple on the private island. I mean, there is some weird kooky stuff going
00:31:32.880
on here. We don't know if it's state-backed. We don't know if it's backed by some
00:31:37.340
international organized crime cabal. We don't know if it's just a supervillain and his creepy
00:31:42.260
girlfriend. What we do know is we need to talk to Ghislaine Maxwell. Her whereabouts are apparently
00:31:47.240
unknown right now. I wouldn't be surprised if she were in hiding, but obviously she's one of the
00:31:52.220
only people, if not the only person, who can provide information on what was going on. And so I
00:31:57.880
assume the authorities are looking for her, but she's the only way that this story isn't going to
00:32:01.500
completely die with Jeffrey Epstein, though it may already be too late. Speaking of too late,
00:32:07.100
might be too late for our culture, as a matter of fact, here in the West, because there is a story
00:32:10.940
coming out. It went viral. You've heard of these drag queen reading hours for little children at
00:32:16.660
libraries. Why this is happening? There's no good reason why this is happening. I mean,
00:32:20.740
the real reason that it's happening is so that the cultural left can indoctrinate and inculcate
00:32:24.880
these bizarre ideas in children at a very young age. But there is no good reason for this to
00:32:31.060
happen. Why would you have grown men who think that they're women or dress up like women who
00:32:34.360
sexualized themselves sitting around with small children, reading them stories? Well,
00:32:38.780
at a UK library, a drag queen recently taught kids how to twerk as seen on a viral video that
00:32:46.700
was then promoted by the library. Would you like to do some of those funny little dances from
00:32:52.240
Fortnite? Does anybody know any of the dances from Fortnite? Oh, then you are a credit to your
00:32:58.040
community. But most of all, Michael likes to twerk. Now, does anybody in this room know how to twerk?
00:33:07.880
All right, well, it's quite important to the story, so I will just give you a very quick
00:33:10.860
demonstration. All you need to do is you just stand with your feet sort of shoulder width apart
00:33:15.340
like so. Okay, I'll show you at the side so you can get a better view of it. And you're crouched down
00:33:20.540
into this sort of position here, so your bum's sticking out. I hope you're taking this all in.
00:33:25.220
And then you just move your bum up and down like that. And that's twerking.
00:33:31.900
If you are only listening to that and you haven't seen that yet, you are blessed. You are so fortunate.
00:33:38.440
It would that I could be you, but I did see it. And twerking, for those who don't know, is when you
00:33:44.280
basically just simulate the sexual movements. I mean, a lot of modern dancing, quote unquote, is
00:33:49.680
that, but twerking is kind of the logical extreme of it, where you're just kind of shifting your hips
00:33:54.020
back and forth and thrusting your pelvis and putting your derriere out in the air. That's what this
00:34:00.700
dude in a dress was doing in front of toddlers. Pulls up his skirt a little bit and then starts
00:34:07.220
shaking his derriere. And the library bragged about this on social media. There is no excuse
00:34:15.760
for this. There is no justification for this, not in the name of open-mindedness, not in the
00:34:21.940
name of tolerance or inclusion or culture or liberalism or diversity or anything. This is
00:34:27.600
the extreme of sexualizing material for little tiny children. And before you have the knee-jerk
00:34:38.100
reaction, some on the left have this knee-jerk reaction of, oh, you're transphobic or homophobic
00:34:42.700
or phobic-phobic or whatever nonsense words they invent, ask yourself, what is the purpose of this?
00:34:49.120
What is accomplished by this? It's, what is accomplished? It desensitizes kids to bizarre
00:34:56.380
sexual proclivities. It desensitizes kids to sexualized material.
00:35:03.780
Maybe it makes hyper-sexualized or uncommonly sexualized people feel more in the mainstream
00:35:13.180
of society, but why are we trying to mainstream bizarre sexual activities and delusions?
00:35:19.200
And certainly, I mean, you would know, if you had just a regular old straight white male,
00:35:23.200
guy wearing, I don't know, a Oxford shirt and a pair of chinos, walk into that library and say,
00:35:28.140
hey guys, my name's Keith. I'm a regular middle-aged white guy and I'm going to read you a book today.
00:35:35.360
But before I do that, I'm going to thrust my pelvis in the air repeatedly and then stick out my derriere
00:35:41.800
and make sure that all you little kids can see it. The guy would be arrested in two seconds.
00:35:46.860
But because this guy, I don't even know his name, the drag queen, can claim a victim status,
00:35:53.580
because the people who are putting him up to this can claim a victim status,
00:35:56.000
they can get away with anything. This is why victimhood is such a valuable currency.
00:36:01.260
And whenever someone is claiming victimhood, you should immediately be skeptical of what they're
00:36:06.040
talking about because they are using that as a protective shield to get away with things that
00:36:11.440
regular old people wouldn't get away with. It's happening in the UK and it's happening
00:36:15.700
throughout the United States. That video happens to be from the United Kingdom, but we've seen
00:36:20.460
similar incidents here and it's, it's only getting worse. And the key to it is the victim culture.
00:36:25.520
The more you allow victim culture to exist, the more you try to co-opt victim culture,
00:36:29.640
even you're playing a losing game. It's a Faustian bargain that is going to lose you all of your
00:36:34.080
cultural premises. Speaking of the culture wars, Washington Post is furious at Trump.
00:36:39.200
They say, quote, from race to plastic straws, Trump dials up the culture wars for 2020 votes.
00:36:47.700
See, Trump is engaging in the culture wars and that's bad. The left, they don't engage in the
00:36:52.520
culture wars, right? The left is the culture war. They are the storm. They are the culture war.
00:36:57.640
Trump is simply fighting back against the culture wars. He's engaging in them. Yeah. But is he dialing
00:37:02.780
them up? No, he's simply responding to them. Here's, here's how I can prove it to you.
00:37:07.880
We had straws. We had plastic straws in this country and it was fine. Everything was totally
00:37:12.620
fine and it didn't bother anybody. Then one day, a nine-year-old child in Canada did a study
00:37:20.600
for a class report. And he came up with this ridiculous number that said that we're using a
00:37:27.160
zillion, gazillion, or however many straws per day. And this is destroying the planet.
00:37:32.820
And because of that, and because of leftist activism, we had to get rid of all of our plastic
00:37:38.620
straws. And now we use that mushy pulp that won't let us drink our drinks.
00:37:43.760
That was the aggression in the culture war. It serves no purpose. It won't save the environment.
00:37:48.040
It won't do anything to the natural environment. It just makes our life less convenient. It just makes
00:37:54.120
it harder to drink a milkshake. That was a massive aggression in the culture war,
00:37:58.320
taking away straws from hundreds of millions of people. But then you see, when we point out,
00:38:03.600
we fight back, we say, actually, I think we should keep our straws. They say, you're aggressing,
00:38:09.120
you're fighting the culture war. No, I'm not. I'm just, I just think it was fine. And then you
00:38:13.700
invented a problem out of nothing. And then you took away my plastic straws, which makes my drinking
00:38:19.100
habits much more inconvenient. They say, yeah, you're dialing up the culture wars. No,
00:38:23.520
of course we're not. All of this. They say, you conservatives are so obsessed with sex.
00:38:29.040
What do you talk, what are you talking about? We're not the ones dragging drag queens into public
00:38:33.920
libraries to twerk for three-year-olds. We're not the ones radically redefining the central human
00:38:38.580
institution, marriage, which has had the same definition, more or less, or at least a similar
00:38:42.960
definition for all of human history everywhere in the world. You're the ones doing that. And then when
00:38:47.760
we say, hmm, maybe that's not the best idea. Maybe we should be a little cautious about this.
00:38:52.140
You accuse us of being the aggressors in the culture war. We're not. And it's this lie.
00:38:57.000
The people who say Trump should shut up. Trump should stop tweeting. He should stop talking
00:39:01.960
about football or straws or Bette Midler, that washed up psycho singer. He should stop talking
00:39:07.540
about that. You just don't get it. We tried just talking about tax rates. We tried it. We had
00:39:16.160
Mitt Romney and he lost. We had Paul Ryan, who I really like. He wasn't successful.
00:39:25.080
John McCain just tried to talk about, you know, taxes and not social issues. He lost.
00:39:31.280
That's a losing strategy. No one cares about bean counting. No one cares. No one wakes up in a
00:39:35.300
cold sweat and says, oh, we need to reduce the marginal tax rate on that upper quintile of income
00:39:40.820
earners. No, no one cares. It's all the culture. And the left knows this. That's why the left has
00:39:46.040
been running through our cultural institutions for 50 years. And the minute conservatives fight
00:39:51.560
back, all of a sudden, this is a big issue. The Washington Post wants to make it a big issue
00:39:55.620
because they know how potent it is. They know that the only way that we're going to win is by
00:39:59.040
fighting back on the culture. Two examples. You have two presidential candidates sitting U.S.
00:40:04.620
senators lying through their teeth demonstrably about a racially divisive incident that occurred
00:40:14.180
years ago in the killing of Michael Brown. He was a black young man who was killed by a cop.
00:40:20.700
Here's what Kamala Harris said, quote, Michael Brown's murder forever changed Ferguson in America.
00:40:25.560
His tragic death sparked a desperately needed conversation and a nationwide movement. We must
00:40:29.720
fight for stronger accountability and racial equity in our justice system. He wasn't murdered.
00:40:36.160
Elizabeth Warren, five years ago, Michael Brown was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson,
00:40:39.920
Missouri. Michael was unarmed, yet he was shot six times. I stand with activists and organizers who
00:40:43.940
continue to fight for justice for Michael. We must confront systemic racism and police violence
00:40:47.880
head on. This is complete fiction. This is a completely made up narrative. This is the narrative
00:40:53.000
you heard of hands up, don't shoot that all the congressmen did. This is the narrative that he was
00:40:57.800
hit from behind, Michael Brown. He was running away and he was hit from behind. None of that happened.
00:41:03.080
How do I know none of that happened? Well, don't take my word for it. Vox.com and the Washington Post
00:41:07.360
both admit this was a total lie from Warren and from Kamala Harris and broadly from the left.
00:41:14.120
WAPO, to their credit, gave it four Pinocchios. Michael Brown, young man, robbed a store,
00:41:19.880
then comes out. A cop pulls up on him. Michael Brown reaches into the cop car, grabs the cop's gun.
00:41:25.620
So he wasn't unarmed. He was grabbing the cop's gun. Then according to multiple witnesses of different
00:41:30.720
races, a young biracial man, an older black man, other witnesses as well, according to multiple
00:41:36.640
autopsies, he was not shot from behind. And he was grabbing the gun inside the cop car. Total lies,
00:41:44.340
totally racially divisive. Talk about cultural issues. That is being pushed by the left,
00:41:49.460
peddling lies. And yet Donald Trump stands up for some common sense, some at least grasping toward
00:41:55.520
the truth. And all of a sudden we're told it's the worst thing in the world and conservatives need
00:41:58.820
to sit down and shut up. You're dividing the country. You're racist. You're white supremacist.
00:42:03.140
Look at this trash from these people. I mean, they should be so ashamed of themselves for spreading
00:42:08.480
this racial bigotry, these horrible racial lies, Liz Warren and Kamala Harris. Next time a left
00:42:15.080
winger calls you a racist, flick your fingers under your chin. Who cares? They have no credibility
00:42:21.320
on this. It's despicable. You owe them no answer, no explanation. They are so guilty of racial division,
00:42:31.020
racial hatred and bigotry. Who cares what they think? Before we go, I have to talk about maybe
00:42:36.920
the most important story of the day. At the Pan American Games, a fencer and a hammer thrower
00:42:44.780
protested the United States. The fencer, Race Imboden. Of course that guy's a fencer.
00:42:52.940
A guy named Race Imboden. Can you imagine what prep school he went to? Can you imagine how much
00:42:59.140
sherry he drank in the evening when he was growing up? Race Imboden, a fencer, took a knee at the Pan
00:43:04.240
American Games to protest President Trump and America. I guess he was really pieced off
00:43:10.060
and couldn't just saber the moment and certainly wasn't sitting on the fence about his politics.
00:43:20.600
That's enough. Those are all of the fencing puns that I know. So thank you for indulging me in that.
00:43:25.940
What an idiot though. What a total jerk. He, another guy, this guy, Gwen Berry also,
00:43:31.260
he's a hammer thrower. He also protested America at the Pan American Games, which is something I had
00:43:35.180
never heard of until this political dustup. And here is what Race Imboden, the fencer said. He
00:43:41.880
tweeted it out. He tweeted out his picture of his kneeling. He said, quote, we must call for change.
00:43:47.500
This week I'm honored to represent Team USA at the Pan Am Games, taking home gold and bronze. My pride,
00:43:54.080
however, has been cut short by the multiple shortcomings of the country I hold so dear to my
00:43:58.340
heart. Racism, gun control, mistreatment of immigrants, and a president who spreads hate
00:44:04.720
are at the top of a long list. Now this is a little confusing because as he's saying he hates
00:44:10.580
gun control, he says racism, mistreatment of immigrants, a president who spreads hate,
00:44:14.580
and gun control. Those are all things he hates? Or he likes gun control. Then does he like racism
00:44:20.760
and the mistreatment of immigrants and a president? No, he's not, probably not, if I'm going to guess,
00:44:25.380
the brightest bulb in the pack. Or the sharpest tool in the shed. Or the sharpest saber in the,
00:44:31.580
I don't know. He goes on, quote, I chose to sacrifice my moment today at the top of the podium
00:44:36.940
to call attention to issues that I believe need to be addressed. I encourage others to please use
00:44:41.480
your platform for empowerment and change. You didn't sacrifice anything. Actually, you just stole a
00:44:49.520
moment in public. You just stole 15 minutes of fame. Nobody would have ever heard your name.
00:44:55.380
Unique as it is. Nobody would have ever heard really about your sporting activities. No one
00:45:00.320
would have ever heard about the Pan Am games. Except that you took a moment that was supposed to
00:45:05.520
honor people's athletic achievements and through those achievements their countries. And you stole
00:45:11.560
it for yourself to make a stupid political point that undermines the entire purpose of games,
00:45:17.360
sports, and certainly international athletic competitions. That's the only reason anyone's
00:45:22.980
talking about him. When was the last time people were talking about fencing? Like, never. At least
00:45:28.460
not in a hundred years. Sports are supposed to be about taking the ego and having it be subsumed into
00:45:34.120
something bigger and greater. Pushing down your ego and building up a country, a sport, a team.
00:45:41.040
That's sportsmanship. That's being a team player. You're representing the United States.
00:45:47.480
This is especially true of international games. But they don't get it. This guy doesn't get it.
00:45:52.080
Because he is obsessed with his own ego. As is Colin Kaepernick. As are all of the idiots who take a
00:45:57.240
knee and protest the American flag. It's despicable. He should be immediately removed from the team.
00:46:01.360
He should not represent the United States. He's chosen not to represent the United States.
00:46:05.280
Well, first he chose to do it and then he chose to spit on the United States. He should not be
00:46:08.920
permitted to compete in professional sports as a representative of the United States.
00:46:12.580
This is the battle. The battle isn't over taxes. The battle isn't over slight changes to the
00:46:20.560
bureaucracy. This is the battle. It's a battle for the heart and soul of America and it's a battle for
00:46:25.780
love of country. And jerks who don't love their country certainly shouldn't be the ones representing
00:46:30.100
it. That's our show. Come back tomorrow. We got a lot more to get to. We'll do it then. In the
00:46:33.320
