Summary
In this episode, I sit down with Pat McAfee to talk about the CIA s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and why they think it's a good idea to have an American citizen as an intelligence asset. We talk about why it makes sense to have a U.S. citizen as a CIA asset.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
CIA, Andrew, so guy calls me, he says, Pat, I'm being offered to be part of CIA to give
00:00:11.720
He's in a niche industry that a lot of people have access to him and he meets a lot of people.
00:00:16.980
Think money, finance, you're in front of a lot of different interesting people.
00:00:22.960
Why is that appealing to somebody like him to say, yes, I want to do this job versus
00:00:28.120
why, what is the risk for him to say, never, ever work with the CIA, even if they're trying
00:00:35.680
So this is, it's such a hard question because even when we're at CIA and we're briefed on
00:00:42.740
these operations, it's really hard to understand why the fuck somebody would say yes.
00:00:47.580
It's so nonsensical to say yes to be an American citizen that works for the CIA, that supports
00:00:52.460
as an asset the CIA because the bureaucracy is horrible when you're a badged officer of
00:00:59.360
It's even worse when you're a U.S. citizen that's encrypted, that's under layers of
00:01:06.700
But people say yes, and there's two big reasons why people say yes.
00:01:09.740
One, they truly believe in helping America, like legit, real, blue-blood, red-blood Americans.
00:01:20.760
It's fucking amazing because if CIA were to call me, the only reason I would say yes is
00:01:26.980
But if I was a $100 million business owner and CIA said they wanted me to report, I'd be
00:01:32.300
How are you guys going to keep my information safe?
00:01:36.260
I've built, I've spent my whole life building this thing for you guys to piss away in one
00:01:43.620
And then oftentimes what ends up happening is the average lifespan for a CIA asset is
00:01:49.540
We say that's their useful reporting life, not their physical life.
00:01:53.400
Because within five years, CIA fucks up somehow.
00:01:59.800
And then an internal investigation takes suit and some FBI person barges through your office
00:02:04.880
door and arrests you on suspicion of working with Russians.
00:02:07.980
And then it's not until you get into an interrogation room where you're like, I'm only talking
00:02:11.100
to the Russians because CIA's paying me to talk to the Russians.
00:02:17.180
It's a mess because government compartmentalizes so heavily.
00:02:19.940
The second reason why people do it is because they believe CIA is going to help them somehow.
00:02:36.440
So, you know, when I say intel, of course, I think CIA, but you have Mossad, you have
00:02:43.280
MI6, you have, you talk highly of India, I think, with India's intelligence.
00:02:47.360
So you're starting to really speak where you're bringing some attention to it.
00:02:50.940
But if, if a, if a person like an Epstein, okay, where you hear stories about this guy
00:02:58.540
on what things he's been involved with, you go back history at this point, people know
00:03:03.080
that him and Bill Barr went to a school together.
00:03:06.500
They went to a school together many, many years ago as kids.
00:03:10.000
And then that, one of the people from that school is who later on came back and brought
00:03:14.160
Jeffrey Epstein to be a math teacher, even though he didn't have the degree for it.
00:03:19.620
But the story with how he made his money, how he got his connection, his tie to Robert Maxwell,
00:03:26.380
Robert Maxwell's tie back to Mossad, Ghislaine Maxwell, who was trained by her father, and
00:03:33.760
Does a person like Epstein leverage his intel relationship with Mossad to get things from
00:03:45.580
either Mossad or the individuals as a form of a threat and a leverage that's different
00:03:50.520
than a CIA coming to somebody in America saying, we'd like to be an asset to help us out getting
00:03:56.620
How different is an Epstein versus what happens here?
00:04:00.540
In method, in methodology, it's not that different.
00:04:04.540
You're basically, you have an intelligence agency that knows there's a source of information
00:04:08.840
And then they just need to find what they can use to reciprocate that cooperation from the
00:04:16.760
I would, and I still do, openly say the most likely intelligence connection that Jeffrey
00:04:27.060
If he was an intelligence asset, it was probably for Mossad, not for CIA.
00:04:33.000
And what he would have wanted is something Mossad would have been able to supply him with,
00:04:40.040
Whether that's sex trafficking or something else, Mossad is way more flexible in what they're
00:04:44.920
willing to bring to the table in terms of an intelligence operation, other than CIA.
00:04:48.700
So tell me more when you use the word flexible.
00:04:55.980
Israel and Mossad openly advocate for regime change.
00:05:00.980
And then the permissions, the authorities that kind of, for lack of a better word, handcuff CIA,
00:05:08.720
those authorities don't really exist for Mossad.
00:05:11.740
Mossad is essentially the modern day version of the 1960s era CIA.
00:05:16.420
Very experimental, very flexible, very little oversight, because they're surrounded by an
00:05:23.780
ocean of threats, whereas the United States is surrounded by a literal ocean, and Canada
00:05:29.500
So we have different threat portfolios, profiles, and the difference in that threat profile is
00:05:36.400
what informs our willingness to take high risk actions.
00:05:39.740
So, it's interesting when you say, so are you saying back in the 60s, we were as reckless
00:05:46.560
and aggressive in getting intel as the current Mossad is?
00:05:50.700
And we were as reckless without being as well-trained, well-funded, or well-technologically equipped.
00:06:00.960
I mean, we were actively drugging Americans and then putting them in brothels with American
00:06:11.880
Trying to get Castro's beard to fall off his face, the whole bay of pigs.
00:06:15.980
I mean, that's the kind of shit that CIA still can't get off its back because it was so dumb,
00:06:23.480
Do you think that gives a country an edge if they're willing to be more reckless than you
00:06:31.180
in gathering intel and you're trying to be more proper than them?
00:06:35.040
Take it out of the intel world and put it on the fucking school playground, right?
00:06:39.620
Which bully is likely to not get muscled around?
00:06:42.480
The one that will go crazy when you approach him or the one who's trying to play by the rules?
00:06:51.400
All of the five eyes, the five eyes being the five Western intelligence agencies that
00:06:57.360
cooperate the closest, Canada, America, UK, Australia, New Zealand, all of the five eyes
00:07:02.660
know Mossad is the most risk-tolerant and most aggressive of intelligence agencies.
00:07:12.280
And then we also know that because of that recklessness, there's only so much we can do
00:07:22.100
Mossad actively tries to penetrate CIA, actively tries to penetrate MI6, ASIS.
00:07:28.500
When John was here, John Kiraku said every time they would come around to us, he said,
00:07:31.940
we never trusted Mossad because they would come in, they would give gifts.
00:07:35.700
And we're like, what are you doing giving us gifts?
00:07:41.680
What experiences did you have with the Mossad yourself?
00:07:44.180
So I was lucky to only have a few experiences because the types of operations I worked on
00:07:50.040
were more sensitive than they were willing to expose to Mossad.
00:07:52.400
In my senior years, in my years as a middle manager, if you will, that's when I had the
00:07:57.620
most overlap with joint operations with Mossad.
00:07:59.860
Always super professional, always very smart, always quiet in the room, always impeccably
00:08:06.060
dressed and always shockingly good looking, especially if they were cooperating in an
00:08:11.120
operation with the U.S. because they know our M.O.
00:08:13.600
They know that a beautiful man or a beautiful woman is going to distract us from better judgment.
00:08:20.160
And that's one of the things that we're briefed on before we operate with Mossad.
00:08:23.140
We're like, hey, just expect a bombshell to walk in and expect that they put that bombshell
00:08:33.680
That's why they're so good, because they can literally leverage what we call primal instincts.
00:08:39.600
Primal instincts in human beings, they surpass your religious beliefs, they surpass your
00:08:44.560
education level, your age, these primal incentives that they know how to kind of set the dominoes
00:08:50.940
up in place to maximize your cooperation, unless you come in defensive.
00:08:56.280
So let's talk about the recklessness you're saying of Mossad, that they're willing to go
00:08:59.920
to levels that, you know, U.S. is not willing to go.
00:09:04.000
What event prevented us from being as reckless?
00:09:06.560
Is it because somebody came in and they're like, well, moving forward, the CIA is going
00:09:09.900
to be a very responsible intel agency and we're going to tell everything to America.
00:09:14.660
Or no, after the 60s, you know, you got Martin Luther King, you got John F. Kennedy, you got
00:09:20.260
Bobby Kennedy, you got all this stuff that happened.
00:09:25.180
What was the reasoning why we went more safer than being reckless?
00:09:33.220
When we, when CIA and FBI failed to collaborate effectively to prevent 9-11, when that happened,
00:09:40.000
the Congress stepped in and created heavy oversight for both intelligence agencies.
00:09:45.980
The 9-11 commission that was completed in 2003 basically outlined how the intelligence
00:09:51.420
agencies were forced to cooperate, forced to grow, how their budget and their operations
00:09:57.820
were going to be strictly pursued and overseen by a group in the Congress and how everything
00:10:04.280
would have to get briefed up through the executive branch.
00:10:20.640
But what else, did they have another dotted line to somebody else after 01?
00:10:23.780
They had a slight, yeah, after 01, they had dotted lines to multiple people.
00:10:27.740
So they were still under the executive branch, but they had a hard line to the DNI.
00:10:32.440
And the DNI had a hard line to the CIA, to the executive, the president.
00:10:35.660
So now you have one layer of management in between the two.
00:10:38.860
But then you also have this dotted line to the Congress who controls the purse strings.
00:10:42.560
So prior to that, CIA was controlled exclusively by a black budget.
00:10:45.860
They spend what they want to spend when they want to spend it.
00:10:47.860
Well, now their budget's tied to Congress, black or not.
00:10:52.280
Do you, I mean, do you think there needs to be a department that nobody knows about,
00:11:02.840
especially when we're dealing with the types of actors in the world today,
00:11:05.680
that if they're going to have no rules and they're going to be reckless,
00:11:13.020
I look at this situation and it's kind of fucked both ways.
00:11:18.540
If you take away oversight to CIA, you run the risk of a politicized, weaponized CIA doing
00:11:29.660
But if you give increasing permissions and oversight to CIA to be more activist, more risk tolerance,
00:11:38.680
then you kind of invite more pain, more public damage, more loss of reputation in the international space.
00:11:48.100
So it's a hard place to be right now, but you're asking the right questions.
00:11:51.420
We, the American people, should be asking these questions.
00:11:53.840
Right now, we're outsourcing these questions to whoever sits in Congress.
00:12:00.080
So, so the recklessness, you said after 60s, so are you saying were we still reckless in the 90s?
00:12:08.120
We were still without supervision in the 90s, which is a big part of why you started to see, you know,
00:12:14.880
So, so, so regard, so the 9-11 event that took place, whether we were more reckless or not,
00:12:21.760
that couldn't have been prevented is what you're saying.
00:12:25.720
If there would have been, this is the argument in the 9-11 Commission,
00:12:29.200
if CIA and FBI would have been forced to work together, 9-11 would have been avoided.
00:12:34.860
And they say that because when, in retrospect, they collected all of the intelligence in both agencies
00:12:40.960
and looked at it from 2001 to 2003, they saw that the fulsome profile of both intelligence collection efforts
00:12:48.080
would have prevented the time, the place, and the personas involved.
00:12:51.860
But because FBI was sending messages to CIA, CIA was ignoring them, CIA was sending messages to FBI,
00:13:02.620
They have different encryptions for the same sources.
00:13:04.760
All of this chaos resulted in the most important stuff just sitting in the printer.
00:13:11.100
Did we communicate better in the 50s and 60s, CIA and FBI, versus in the 90s?
00:13:14.920
No, but they had a greater chasm between responsibilities.
00:13:20.480
So inside United States, FBI, outside United States, CIA.
00:13:25.020
Law enforcement, FBI, foreign intelligence, CIA.
00:13:34.260
It started to get kind of conflagrated, I think the word is, confused, in the 90s and into the early 2000s.
00:13:46.440
So, okay, the level of recklessness of Israel till today, who holds them accountable?
00:13:54.440
What is their level of recklessness they can go to where a commission comes in and say,
00:14:02.980
Is there anybody that holds all the intel agencies worldwide accountable?
00:14:07.780
That was what they hoped would come about from the UN.
00:14:12.560
That there would be some kind of global organization that we would all voluntarily submit ourselves to.
00:14:21.660
It was actually Clinton who refused to let the United States fall under the jurisdiction of the UN's court, the criminal court.
00:14:30.400
So after he set that precedent, Israel followed, China followed, Russia followed.
00:14:36.300
And that's why we find ourselves where we are now, where basically anything goes if you're a strong enough, brave enough leader.
00:14:42.640
Yeah, I mean, for me, I wouldn't want to be under UN because I don't even trust UN.
00:14:47.360
So no matter what it is, bias is there no matter who you are.
00:14:59.220
So the sooner I know what your biases are and what mine are, the sooner I'm like, yeah, I totally get it.
00:15:04.080
We were talking about, you know, three years ago about you coming here, doing something.
00:15:08.700
You know, my biggest thing was you had a timeline.
00:15:13.840
And then somebody has to come after you, ain't nobody going to be able to want to hear anybody else but you.
00:15:18.280
I'm like, no, that's not, I'm not, you know, you go do your thing.
00:15:20.580
We had that conversation and I've recommended you to God knows how many people because I think you're phenomenal at what you do.
00:15:25.800
But everybody has a bias, spouse, husband, wife, kids.
00:15:32.880
But going back to this, I'm kind of glad we're not under the UN jurisdiction.
00:15:39.800
Personally, personally, it makes complete sense.
00:15:42.480
But what happens is when you look at what's happening in the headlines and then you put mass opinion on top of what's happening, that mass opinion sometimes drones out the other more rational thought process, right?
00:15:54.960
So you've got all these people who are like, oh, America committed war crimes invading Afghanistan and Iraq.
00:16:01.020
According to war crime legal definition, yeah, we did.
00:16:07.200
All war is illegal according to the war definition.
00:16:10.420
So who are you going to be, the one that gets invaded or the one that does the invading?
00:16:14.880
I mean, if you kind of look at it as a binary personal decision, it makes total sense.
00:16:18.380
But our enemies and our own internal politics have made it so that people start to think that somehow a more cooperative world is better for us.
00:16:31.840
Because when that's that is a problem that only the richest, wealthiest, healthiest people get to have, because when you're not the richest, the wealthiest and the healthiest, you don't want to be.
00:16:43.280
They want it because the more order, you know, the less chance somebody is going to take them out, right?
00:16:49.060
But sometimes you need chaos to be able to move up as well, right?
00:16:52.000
If you don't have the bit of the chaotic situation, how do I come up as a small market?
00:16:56.460
Nowadays, more than ever, the brand you wear reflects and represents who you are.
00:17:01.100
