0:01is we've talked in the past about the theories about why Trump and Epstein fell out eventually. And the narrative for a long time was that Jeffrey Epstein came on to like a 15-year-old towel hand at Mara Lago. It was reported to Trump and he banned him from Mara Lago right then and there and said, "Get the [ __ ] out of my life." Which would be W. Trump in that case.
0:28The other thing that had come up, and I believe it was attorney Brad Edwards, the attorney for the victims, he had said this on Tara Pal Mary's podcast. The other thing that came up is when he interviewed Donald Trump in like '08, something like that to discuss the case. And he did note Donald Trump was the only powerful guy that he reached out to who actually agreed to do it. I believe it was at that meeting where Trump mentioned they had a falling out over a real estate deal. So Trump in his defense is actually the one in that case who did mention it. But the narrative over time was that it was because, you
1:02know, Donald Trump was standing up for a young lady at Mara Lago.
1:07>> Interesting that Jeffrey Epstein seems to be laying out the picture that it was probably a real estate deal >> that put them apart. So do with that what you will, but it comes down to they came apart, >> if this narrative is to be believed, is correct. And we now have some evidence from both sides on that. It appears both sides being Trump and Epstein.
1:27>> Yeah.
1:28>> It would paint the picture that rather than some moral high ground justification of I don't like Pedos, it was actually just regular old two, you know, psychopathic businessmen being pissed off going at each other on a deal. One won one and the other lost.
1:46And the one who lost is just like, "All right, I know what I'm going to do. He's touching kids.
1:53Well, he won. [clears throat] Trump won.
1:55>> Oh, sorry. I take it back, folks.
1:57>> Yeah, the other way around.
1:58>> The other way around.
1:58>> We got to get it right. But point taken.
2:00>> Sorry, I'm cash patelled right now.
2:02Don't mind me. [clears throat] >> Very, very cash patela. And so it just, you know, when you see that that's a narrative that wasn't even when the press was going at Donald Trump like crazy in his first administration, objectively for things that he wasn't doing wrong in in many cases or just attacking him because he ate crackers instead of [ __ ] bread or whatever it was.
2:24This was one story that they wouldn't go at hard despite the fact that the the the narrative included the fact that Donald Trump and Epste have been friends for a long time. And it's interesting that now there's a new in to attack Donald Trump on something that perhaps both he and Jeffrey Epstein are saying and you don't hear anything about it in the press. That's fascinating.
2:51There something I didn't get to talk with Neman today about that I would have liked to one of the things we didn't hit but the fact that of course the press doesn't like Donald Trump of course they continue to you know throw ramsh shots at him all the time but the volume gravity and I don't mean this literally but figuratively the violence of the attacks on Donald Trump from a media perspective in his second administration compared to his first.
3:17There is no comparison. It is not even remotely close. Not even slightly close.
3:24You could not move in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 without seeing some sort of worldending headline about Adolf Trump, >> you know, doing something, you know, the feeding the koiish wrong, whatever it was. And despite the fact that his second administration has been an unmititigated disaster by just about every metric, the attacks are much softer. That's interesting. That's really, really interesting because it's in the it's in the middle of this era where all this other >> [ __ ] that reeks is coming out.
3:59>> Well, it's because, you know, if you talk bad, you get you're you're done.
4:03Pull the plug.
4:05>> Or >> meaning you'd like the litigation that he's done. You think? No, I just think with the way the media landscape works now in this second term, they're they if if they publish that he's going to take him out. I mean, he just kicked like CNN and all these, you know, so they want access, you're saying? Yeah, but but he was doing that in his first amendment.
4:25Remember he would kick out Jim Aosta?
4:27>> Yeah, but now you got Barry Weiss, you got Larry Ellison, you got way more figures put in place to >> That's also true. That's a great point.
4:36So there are there are different fa but again it does tie into my point. It's a great point. You now have people inside the enemy as well, right? I'm referring to it like who does Donald Trump look at his enemies, you know, the mainstream media, CNN, CBS, he's got his people >> in there doing it. Sure. Absolutely.
4:55That's a great point. Great point.
4:57>> But you know, there's no guy who understands the gravity of the situation better than Mike Johnson. House Speaker Mike Johnson has single-handedly been I I Joey Def I would say he's the most prominent voice advocating on behalf of all victims of Jeffrey Epstein and and seeking justice. Is is that fair to say?
5:20>> Yeah, I'd say so. Okay, let let's let's roll Mike Johnson being asked about Thomas Massie, outgoing Congressman Thomas Massie to the tune of $32 million spent against him by people who, you know, I don't think like America very much with Thomas Massiey's obsession with bringing justice to the children Epstein sex traffked. This is Mike Johnson.
5:46>> So, so here's the So, as a leader of my party, I lead the incumbent protection program. Okay. Uh, that's my job. I go all around the country. I travel endlessly, incessantly. I have to raise over $300 million to do that. Um, and and we want everybody to come back. And and and some people um I try to protect them from themselves. You know, >> tries to protect them from themselves.
6:05>> Kick and scream and bite uh their own colleagues. Some people seem to enjoy uh uh trying to inflict political pain on their own teammates.
6:13>> Pause that real quick.
6:14>> I >> just to be clear because he's referring to Thomas Massie. As we said, he is referring to Thomas Massiey's crusade to make sure that the Epstein files do not die and there is some justice done here as kicking, screaming, and biting his colleagues. I just I I want to put that in perspective for you. The majority leader, the the I'm sorry, the speaker of the house is saying that that is like biting your colleagues to do that. Let's keep it plain. Enjoy the >> I'm [snorts] not going to address anybody individually, but I'll tell you that that some here are much more frustrating than others. There's a small
6:52t >> passive aggressive little I got to mark that. Go ahead.
6:56>> Tiny handful. Uh but one in particular who's given me lots of conration. I don't understand I don't I don't understand uh Thomas Massiey's motivation. I just works. I don't know what he's what he's thinking. Thomas Massie could have brought his discharge petition any time over the last four and a half years. Over the last four years of the B administration, he could have done that at any time. and now he's clamoring as if there's some sort of timeline on it. [snorts] It's interesting to me that he chose the election of of President Trump to bring this to team up with the Democrats and bring this discharge petition. So, do I
7:25have some concern about that? I do. But, you know, me in my way, I try to f I try to follow Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment. Never speak evil Republican. My gosh, it's hard to do sometimes around here.
7:35>> I also try to bless those who persecute you.
7:39>> Bless those who persecute you.
7:41>> Could you just accept my southern bless?
7:43>> Oh, man. Okay. I don't know what else to say about it. We're we're for maximum transparency. We're engaging in that right now.
7:50>> We don't need political games.
7:56>> Th This is moments like this are when I think we're already in the AI simulation and we just don't know it yet.
8:02>> Mhm.
8:05>> The gaslighting that that is. And Thomas Massie has also talked about his timeline with this.
8:11He's been concerned about this for a long time and he had a meeting early on in the in the administration with Pam Bondi when the new administration that he supported came in and one of the promises on the campaign trail was releasing the Epstein files and all he did is try to say, "Okay, that's a promise that was made by my party on the campaign trail to win the highest office in the land.
8:32>> What are we doing to follow through on that?"
8:35>> And then he started to realize there was no intention to really do that. And he started being the guy who spearheaded it. And what happened? They went after him. Mike Johnson just tried to hit the biblical [ __ ] touch on that. Very interesting. A guy who gets caught on grinder all the time hitting the biblical touch. I don't know. [laughter] That's that's just a very very interesting dichotomy. Do what you want, man. Listen, I I I love all people, but you know, your life choices are your life choices. That said, he hits you with the victim mindset of persecution.
9:03first talking about his colleagues, then talking about him and all his colleagues and how Thomas Massie is just persecuting them and you know trying to you know you just have to turn the other cheek to it and be the bigger man. He's persecuting you Mike Johnson by trying to get justice for the largest sex trafficking operation that we have maybe ever seen that was co-sponsored by multiple governments around the world.
9:29be it in the Middle East with Israel or right here at home as well with the CIA and the bureaucracy here. Yeah, I I think that's a pretty good thing to to try to go after. And I think the real evil is you, Mike Johnson. I I think the real evil is you trying to make sure that votes like this don't go through.
9:47is you not adhering to the fact that you guys all did pass legislation that required the release of all the files and yet here we are all these months later and there's two and a half to three million more that have not been released. I think the real blame is with you allowing people like Leon Black to [ __ ] you into submission over and over again despite the fact that he's genuinely someone who is directly tied to Jeffrey Epstein including long after Epstein's previous conviction. Like people have a right to ask questions about this and get some level of truth.
10:21And by some level I mean we should get all the [ __ ] truth. And I don't want to sit here and say I'll just settle for something. But like literally that's how low the bar is. It's like well you know give us something that's at least legally like you have to give us. I know that's not everything. I know it's not just the next two and a half three million are going to answer all our questions. I'm not [ __ ] stupid. But like you are legally supposed to do that and you are not doing that. So now he says that Congress is not going to happen right. We we have that that's that's down below on the next page. I
10:56have some links there. But effectively Thomas Massie let's start with that. The first link there under there's Joey Def is Thomas Massiey's reaction to this because he's right over the target on this. I mean it's very obvious. We can all see it. It's nice that like while he's still there, he's at least confirming it. But he's like, "And there it is. Just as I predicted, they're cancelling Congress tomorrow."
11:18This was tweeted the other day to avoid the vote on impeaching Secretary of War.
11:23This isn't even just the Epstein file thing. It will also make it harder for us to reach the 218 signatures on the Epstein discharge petition before the election. We were at 190 plus signatures last night. And yes, GOP leaders are sending the House home early, staving off an impeachment vote against Defense Secretary Hegsth over the Iran war, which obviously he's been completely incompetent as a leader. He never should have been in there in the first place.
11:47That part I won't even blame on him.
11:49Like, he should never been hired. It's not his fault he went for the job, although a little self-awareness would have helped. That said, like the fact that Donald Trump hired the [ __ ] Fox News guy who seems to be coked out all the time to run the [ __ ] defense department, like it's his personal little G.I. Joe [ __ ] convention.
12:06Yeah. What could possibly go wrong?
12:08>> And so Mike Cernovich, who's also he's like a very conservative guy, >> right?
12:15>> Mike Cernovich.
12:16>> Um I'm not sure. every time that I I I don't know him like at all personally, but every time I've seen him online, and I've seen him for a lot of years online, as far as I know, this is a very conservative, you know, Trumpup supporting guy. And he tweets out, "Leaving town and forgetting the midterms to dodge a vote on Epstein, man. This is bleak." And so there's a video of Mike Johnson saying that he canceled Thursday's planned votes.
12:43Cancelled them ahead of time. By the way, Thursday, Joey Def, that was >> trying to think. Tuesday was the 15th, right?
12:52>> Wednesday was the 16th. So, >> Thursday's plans votes are also the day after the Leon Black vote, right?
13:00>> Oh, wow.
13:01>> That would have been on the Wednesday the 16th.
13:04>> Yeah.
13:04>> Is the math math?
13:05>> Yeah, that's math.
13:06>> I know. My math isn't that >> math real? I heard it's not real.
13:09>> I did hear that. I did hear it's not real.
13:11>> Yeah.
13:12>> Who was telling me that the other day?
13:16I forget. Someone told me math wasn't real. So, I'll look what they say. But anyway, so it's time, Mike Johnson, it's time for our members to go home to their districts and make their case. By the way, have you seen the case they're making? I I have another link right there. The lies at the You see that right there? Let's hit Let's hit Mike Johnson again just cuz he he's a lot of fun. So, I don't know if you saw this.
13:38The GOP did a midterm convention. You know, they tried to do like an RNC at the midterms and I think 10 people showed up and no one watched it. But there were a couple greatest hits. This is Mike Johnson very unabashedly, if you will, at the GOP midterm convention.
13:58>> And over the past two years, I'm proud to tell you that we have fulfilled our promises.
14:02>> They fulfilled.
14:03>> Republicans and President Trump have delivered for America's hardworking families.
14:07>> We've delivered for hardworking families. They have completely delivered for them. And anyone who says otherwise is [ __ ] [laughter] >> Donald Trump Jr. also talked at that.
14:20You see that one?
14:21>> That was even better. It's right below it.
14:22>> What did he have to say?
14:23>> I don't think I showed you this, Joey D.
14:25If you're going to see You're seeing this for the first time.
14:27>> Yeah, there a few of these things I >> You're seeing this for the first time.
14:29We're going to get an instant Joey D reaction.
14:33Donald Trump Jr. who used to tweet about Epstein every [ __ ] day until I guess daddy told him not to and he married Epstein's former banker's daughter. But neither here nor there. Let's play it.

15:21It's a story of a few enriched elites who benefit from this radical system while millions of normal people suffer and live their lives.
15:30>> That's right. Starting with him.
15:32Millions of normal people like Donald Trump Jr. who's definitely not an enriched elite who profits off this administration in any way.
15:41>> He's never done that.
15:42>> That's a good one.
15:43>> That's a that's that's that's a really good one. There was a guy today, I don't know if I put it in there. You would have loved this one. Oh, it was so good.
15:52There was a dude who got up and was like making the he was asked to make the case, I think, for the Republicans in the midterm. It was some rep or I don't know who the same [ __ ] thing. But he he [laughter] go he goes, "Listen, you know, everything's good. Yeah, gas prices are up, but national security is way more important than your pocketbook." That was a direct quote.
16:14>> That's great. That's their case to the people. And I know, listen, that said, I I know all of you out there, there is nothing that was higher on your priority list, whether you voted for Donald Trump or not. There was nothing higher on your priority list coming into 2026 and even 2025 when he first came in than making sure that Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon and that we bomb the [ __ ] out of them to start a new war and tell everyone it's going to last four weeks every four weeks for the first 16 weeks until we just stop saying that it just keeps going on and you know what don't look over there because there's nothing
16:48to worry about including the Petra dollar and all the oil that's [ __ ] a huge problem in the straight of Hormuz which we definitely didn't know was going to be closed down by Iran ahead of time which we definitely did. You get the picture. We're all sick of it. It's just it's it's the like we were saying earlier, Joey Def, the President Devonte on the string. So, I I I think I forgot to put that link in there, but you guys can go find that one. They're all saying it. It's all the messaging. It's going out on all the Republican emails. This is what the Democrats and Republicans do, in case this wasn't painfully
17:14obvious. I think most of you know this, but like they send out email talking points just like a corporation sends out like what the minutes are from the meetings. They're like, "This is how we're going to talk." And another thing I was thinking of earlier that I forgot to bring up is we've seen those videos before, Joe, of >> when it shows a local news station >> and the the newscasters go, "Yesterday we as a team saw a blank and then another one pops in from another city >> and says >> that there was going to be and now they're synced up and they're saying the same thing and then suddenly it pops out
17:50to like a hundred different videos of a bunch of local affiliates of owned by Fox or CBS.
17:55around the country saying the same script like it is the [ __ ] Truman Show and Ron Burgundy in one.
18:02>> Yep.
18:02>> Like that's what these parties do internally. And by the way, and I know you guys have seen this online.
18:10>> That's what they do with their influencer campaigns online. That's why you see tweets that pop out at the same time from all these big accounts that are worded. I mean, it's really lazy.
18:21Like, >> it's it's copy paste. It's literally Exactly. It is literally copy [snorts] and paste. And you know, if you guys listen to my show, you know damn well since 2017, I've been I don't even know what it was called back then, but a black build guy. I don't like either of these parties. I think you lose either way for different reasons in different contexts. But it is fascinating from like a strategy perspective that a party like the current administration and the the Republican side in this case being in power having the majority in the House and obviously controlling the White House. The fact
19:02that their self-awareness would be so low that they go out of their way to tout the very things that they've completely [ __ ] on people about. Mhm.
19:12>> I mean, it it's given the same kind of energy as like when Joe Biden couldn't, you know, was telling you there's [ __ ] 47 genders. It's it's the same thing. It's just it's a different language.
19:22>> Yep.
19:23>> Right. It's, you know, Japanese, Italian, but they're translating to the same kind of thing. China. Exactly.
19:29Exactly. So, really disappointing to see all that in the middle of all of it. This was the other one. And I I I saw this earlier.
19:39We're going to get to the Vivian Kubrick thing in a minute. But the other story that is going very under the radar of Joey DeF is the Thomas Krooks update.
19:53So Mike Cernovich also tweeted about this and he said this should be a much bigger story buried by Mmore.
20:03And I'm going to get to the article in a sec, but the roundup, this is from September 15th, from Fox News, actually.
20:13Breaking attempted Trump assassin Thomas Krooks [snorts] had packages of gun parts delivered to him under the pseudonym Bob Dole and an anonymous donor paid for his body to be cremated, according to federal records obtained by Fox News Digital. You know what?
20:31on on July 14th.
20:34>> Yeah.
20:34>> 2024, which would have been the day after.
20:37>> Yeah.
20:38>> You know, the the the attempt and obviously Thomas Krooks was was killed on site.
20:42>> Mhm.
20:43>> If I were thinking of a really patriotic thing to do and I were a man of means who could afford to, you know, do some things that other people can't, at the very top of my list would have been making sure I reached out to my great government and said, "I need you to put me in touch. I need you to put me in touch with the morg slash the family the morg handling the family of Thomas Krooks >> because I have been inspired to front the bill to have his body cremated >> that I mean that that's what I would have done.
21:19>> Listen, I need a write off.
21:21>> Yeah, that's funny.
21:22>> I need a write off. I need some charitable contributions on my tax return. I need a pardon, too. And then they're going to be like, they're going to be like, "Yeah, well, he did it because he tried killing our Lord and Savior and we said he should burn in hell, so we're going to pay for him to be cremated." That's what they want us to think.
21:39>> That's right. That I didn't even >> I don't buy it, though.
21:42>> Look at that.
21:42>> I don't was about the symbolism.
21:44>> Yeah. They're like, "He's a demon. He needs to burn. I'll pay for it." And we can't wait at least a week for all evidence to be collected. We need to make sure it happens.
21:53>> Yeah. Cuz like he tried killing Lord and Savior himself. Why wouldn't they want to do an investigation?
21:58>> Yeah.
21:59>> You know what I mean?
22:00>> And in all seriousness, we have said in the past, and I'll continue to say the strangest part about this story is the most vengeful, you know, never forgets a single slight ever happened to him.
22:18>> Yep.
22:19>> Person that you know on Twitter or I guess on true social, Donald J. Trump.
22:25Mhm.
22:27>> Stop talking about the dude who tried to [ __ ] kill him. Maybe I have to say allegedly now immediately after this.
22:37>> Yeah, that's not him.
22:38>> When has Donald Trump ever given up on He still holds grudges against Rosie O'Donnell.
22:45>> Yeah. No, that that was >> But the guy that shot him, well, he's dead. So, just pulled a full Bill Gates, you know. I didn't know Stevie Wonder tried killing me because clearly he couldn't see. Like he didn't he didn't throw a single one of those out.
23:01>> Oh man. So just some details on this because this went under the radar and was undisussed and now Congress is leaving to go home to make their case to the American people which you pointed that out Joey Def. There were some great >> JD Vance memes of him saying just give us a chance.
23:17>> Please one more chance.
23:18>> Please one more chance. Please, please, pretty please. You played yourself. But FBI releases new details about Thomas Crook's gun obsession, pseudonym, Bob Dole. Cuz if you're going to have a pseudonym, pick the losing candidate from 1996.
23:36Newly unclassified FBI documents are revealing several major details regarding Thomas Krooks. The 20-year-old attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump while campaigning in Butler, Pennsylvania in 2024. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Republican from Iowa, also a geriatric [ __ ] very, very old, no disrespect, shared the trove of documents with multiple media outlets, including the New York Post, detailing Krooks's upbringing, behavior, and actions in a series of interviews with those close to him. Krooks's father, Matthew, reportedly said, "When Thomas was born, he did not scream, and he was
24:11always quiet from that point on. Plus, he never really had a father-son bond with him."
24:16It's interesting. So, James Comr comes in again. James Comr, the head of the Epstein, >> who continues to push for answers as this article says, told the national news desk on Wednesday, he's glad the information is being made public, but quote, "They're still not fully satisfied," unquote. Sounds like another case. If anything, what the FBI's releases led to more questions, so I don't think anybody's satisfied with the way the investigation was handled. I know that no one would be more interested in this than President Trump himself.
24:46>> Yeah. Have you seen him make a single comment about this? I like forgot it even happened, honestly.
24:51>> Yeah. That he doesn't seem very interested.
24:53>> The documents reveal Krooks is reportedly Krooks reportedly had a growing obsession with guns. Apparently perfectly normal, so to speak, right?
25:03>> Good target. You find someone that's more obsessed with guns.
25:06>> Yeah. You want a little do a trap little do a little entrapune.
25:11>> Do a leapa off a cliff. You know what I mean?
25:13>> Hey, don't pull my girl into this. Come on. Come on now. Practicing at a range for years, specifically at longer distances. That's what Crooks was doing.
25:22His dad reportedly said in one of the documents, quote, he wanted to see how far he could shoot with rudimentary sights. [laughter] >> Doing a little deer hunting, Dad.
25:33>> I don't want a scope, Dad. [laughter] As his interest in guns grew, the documents also revealed the crooks began buying a large number of packages from Amazon. Amazon does have the best service. I'll give him that. That's good.
25:46>> Including parts, tools, and items to increase the capacity of his rifle.
25:50Again, these are some big elk he's going after.
25:52>> You getting that on Amazon?
25:54>> Yeah, on Amazon. Listen, apparently Bezos, second amendment guy.
25:58>> Jeez. He was using the synonym Bob Dole, the pseudonym, I'm sorry, Bob Dole for his delivery address. Again, that low key that's a good choice. Bob Dole.
26:10>> You just think of Tupac lyrics at that point.
26:12>> Yeah.
26:13>> Like he's cultured.
26:14>> He's also sending it to his address, so it's like that doesn't even matter.
26:18>> That's right. That's right. It was like what was it? Dolores Tucker use a [ __ ] Uh, Bob Dole, don't understand the way I forget the lyrics, but it was a good song. Pac Pac dropped on that and era era specific obviously. In a true social post Tuesday, President Trump did describe the attach assassination attempt. I'm sorry, Joe De. He did comment on it. I was unaware of this. I didn't see it all over Twitter, I'll tell you that. He described the assassination attempt as a Democrat plot while also criticizing former FBI director Chris Ray. But current FBI director Cash Patel told lawmakers Tuesday the bureau found no evidence
26:54linking Thomas Krooks >> to a larger conspiracy. There's never been an assassination where the assassination is a part of conspiracy.
27:02They're obviously always a lone gumman who just made the decision on themselves didn't receive a little push along the way. Nothing happened and you know that's what it is. And if you're not if you're not satisfied with Cash Patel being on this fear not Todd Blanch is on as well. Attorney General Todd Blanch also weighed in Tuesday, touching on Trump's frustration with the FBI at the time. I mean, you have a situation where it's not really clear what the leadership of the FBI was doing in the weeks and months ahead of the attempted assassination to protect President Trump. That's the same organization that
27:33was simultaneously trying to put him in prison till he dies," Blanch said. The New York Post noted that an anonymous donor paid for Krooks to be cremated just days after the deadly shooting. The revelation reportedly came during an interview with his father who apparently was all too happy to take the money and say, "Yeah, I'll make him [ __ ] burn."
27:51Anyway, nobody's talking about it. The whole thing's sketchy. He let it go immediately. And by the way, Cory Comperator, who was an avid supporter of Donald Trump, who was there with his wife and child at the event, died. And people, a lot of people seem to forget that. What they shouldn't forget is is that his own widow came out and says she thinks that this is a cover up.
28:18Again, it's like people that are victims of stuff, even if they don't end up being right, which by the way, she has a lot of reason to think that, and she very well may be right, but they have every right to have the investigation done properly so that they can get answers. And they don't seem to want to do that here.
28:36And it's conveniently hidden a week where Congress is going just noise. Just [snorts] that's the noise I was talking about, Joey De. They just drown you in noise. You saw last week I didn't start ranting about Clint Lindseay Clancy till like 57 58 minutes into the episode cuz that's the noise they want you to lead with. Unfortunately, it had to be talked about because enough people were like, "Oh, you know, maybe she's [ __ ] you know, she didn't know she did it."
29:00>> This is great for women >> and it's just insane. But like, you know, we do our best here to not fall into those traps all the time. Like we want to bring the things that are happening to you and and give our thoughts on it and let it land with you guys and let you guys decide for yourself. But like these are the stories that we always try to find because they don't want us talking about. It's it's just clear in their actions. That was another thing Nemo was saying earlier that was a real cook when he was talking and you'll hear it on that podcast when it comes out, but when he's talking about how the how the media frames their
29:35articles >> to anchor you psychologically without realizing >> headline.
29:40>> Yeah. Now, now we now we all know they do these kinds of things, but you don't always notice the exact, you know, bar forbar strategy. And what how do you put it? He said anytime an article headline asks a question.
29:54>> Yeah.
29:54>> And I think what he said the example he was thinking of just randomly in his head was will Kla Harris win in 2024. He said almost every time the article head is a question the answer is no.
30:09>> And they are psychologically moving you in that direction >> by doing that.
30:15>> Yeah. That was pretty That was >> That was a pretty >> Yeah.
30:18>> I looked at him, I was like, "W?"
30:20>> Yeah. That was literally immediately I'm like, "When did >> I thought about a bunch?" They were all No. [laughter] >> It was like no, no, no. I was like, "Shit."
30:27>> Yeah. And then I was even like, "Will Donald Trump go to prison for the email?" It's like, "No." Like, it's just it's always no.
30:34>> That's al That's so interesting. When they were go, "Will Donald Trump's impeachment result in him actually being removed?" No.
30:42>> Yeah. But like everyone reading CNN is like, "Yes, very very fascinating." So, in review, they're cancelling Congress to not vote on Epstein the same week when we're all fighting. I don't even know if we're going to talk about the Bob Craft thing today. I don't even know if I want to. Like, there's more important things to get to. Yeah. You know, everyone's fighting over Bob Craft and Mackmore.
31:02And then they're canceling Congress.
31:04They don't vote on Epstein. And in the middle of it, the crooks evidence gets released and they say they're going to do something about it, but they don't do anything about it. And it's going to go away right away. and the president doesn't seem to care. And also Leon Black is whatever it is, not censured, but he voted 41 to0 against and they're referring it to the Justice Department and you're not going to hear about it again. There will be no charges brought >> and then it'll be Christmas.
31:26>> And then it'll be Christmas and [snorts] then it'll be 2027 and we're on to the new news cycle.
31:32>> Yep.
31:32>> Doesn't take long, folks. Y that's what, you know, that's one of my favorite obsessions is the news sess.
31:39I hate how it works, but one of my favorite obsessions is the news cycle and how they use it at all times. It's not a new phenomenon. It's not a new phenomenon at all. Well, let's get to the eyes wide shut thing. So, I laid out the review at the beginning of this episode as far as like where this was.
31:59And so, after I went back and forth publicly with Vivian Kubric, I had a conversation with her. Do we have that Google doc where I where I put the stuff up? It's it's in that section on the at the bottom of the second page. So, just so you guys understand, we had gone through this one. I'm not going to read this again because I already read this public tweet Vivian put out a couple weeks ago, but she addressed the missing 20 minutes theory of Eyes Wide Shut. And in summary, she said she does not believe there's a missing 20 minutes.
32:39She believes that the cut, the final cut that, you know, made theaters was very close, if not like pretty much what her father had put together. I then posited that even if you wanted to play that and say she's right and that there isn't a missing 20 minutes, I I didn't know if it really even mattered cuz when you really watch that film over and over again, he says it. I mean, he really [ __ ] sears it out there. There are Easter eggs everywhere, hidden symbolism everywhere. Hidden in plain sight, I should say. Symbolism everywhere.
33:19plotline symbolism everywhere. He is basically saying there are elite organizations of people who think they are above you, who enjoy inflicting intense pain on victims who don't have a choice. That includes children and it's a trafficking network.
33:40That's the movie.
33:41>> Yeah.
33:42>> That as it was put out now that is the movie. And so how much darker would it needed to have gotten without it being even like too overt to make a shitty movie where you don't have to do any work in your head. You know what I mean? No one likes it to where every other line is like refreshing you on look at what's happening here. They like a film that you you get to people like films where we get to interpret them, right? And we get to we oh look what he did there. And then the best are the ones like this one where you got to watch it several times to fully get it without it being, you know, too
34:20intellectually confusing. That's not why you're re-watching it. You're re-watching it because it's brilliant and there's a lot going on and you can find new things. The one theory I did put some credence in that I think is interesting is the letter theory where I talked about the part where Tom Hanks shows up and they hand shows back up to the mansion where it all happened like the whole ritual and the old man comes out and hands him a letter and there's a quick shot closeup of Tom Hanks or not Tom Hanks Tom Cruz reading the letter and there's the theory that maybe they had changed the text on the letter to
34:54make it more ambiguous rather than maybe it was originally direct and would have been very easy to change that after Stanley Kubri died. They probably could have done it at the time in 99 CGI for sure. Or they could have just literally refilmed hands right there. Didn't even have to be Tom Cruz's hands. They were gloved up. So they could have changed that. There could have been little things like that, but I didn't think it mattered. And so >> Vivian and I went back and forth. And so here here's what she said to me. She reached out to me and she said, "Hi, Julian. I realized you were a bit nonplusted about
35:28why I tagged you along with Joe and Alex." Referring to Joe Rogan and Alex Jones. I'd recently listened to some of your podcast and was happily listening away when I heard you discussing Eyes Wide Shut. That's what finally prompted me to write my rather long explanation about the supposed missing 20 minutes. I realized it was about time all these years later. That's interesting that it's kind of cool that like, you know, let's just randomly talk about it on a podcast. May or talk about it.
35:54>> Yeah.
35:55>> Interesting. A few people asked why I'd taken so long to say anything about it.
35:59The answer is actually very simple. I've always understood quite reasonably that something coming from me doesn't carry much weight with people who are already convinced of their own version of reality. If someone has spent years believing a story, the daughter the daughter of a man the daughter of the man at the center of it saying quote that didn't happen unquote is unlikely to make much difference. see my post on the fake moon landing footage and she linked me there something with that Julian like you because obviously Stanley C she's referring to the fact that Stanley Kubri is also often cited
36:32as a guy who could have been hired to direct the moon landing footage because he had done 2001 [clears throat] of space odyssey and he could have I don't know maybe maybe you said a good set there >> I don't know it's fun so she says Julian like you I'm very concerned about where humanity is heading for the last 25 years I've been fighting the good fight largely because of my own experiences dealing with very evil people and of course my great wakeup call 9/11 just to say I came across Alex Jones on Coast to Coast AM and he woke me up to good and proper. He woke me up good and proper.
37:04Some years later I sought him out at a demonstration in Dallas, Texas. That's how I came to know him and later to appear on his show a number of times.
37:13Being my father's daughter doesn't give me the power to make people believe what I say about him, particularly when a more sensational version of events has been repeated for years. And sensationalism has an enormous advantage. It is more dramatic, more marketable, and far more likely to travel than the comparatively mundane truth. She's right about that.
37:30>> Ironically, the opposite seems to be true when I talk about geopolitics and this diabolical predatory class. people are often far more willing to hear me out on those enormous subjects than accept my firsthand knowledge of my own father such as human nature. That's an excellent point all the way around. And it does go to and I and I really this is why we are devils with the details here on things about what we know and what we don't know and what is pure spec. It is easy to run to the opposite side of things once untruths have been uncovered, if you will.
38:06You still have to get the evidence if you're going to go all the way there.
38:10And even if something looks horrible, it doesn't mean the answer is the direct opposite. In fact, that is the scope of most human wars and disasters that have ever happened in the world. It's a pendulum swing hard in another direction that leads to the system breaking to in order to reset equilibrium. So, she's absolutely right that like people will hear out things when it fits the narrative of like everything's a lie, but then the minute you say, "Well, wait a minute. this other thing right right here. I have some personal evidence that may say it's not. Doesn't mean Vivian's right, but the fact that she would
38:41introduce it and people would be like, "Fuck you. You have no idea when you're what you're talking about when they listen to her on a bunch of other stuff that she doesn't have first knowledge of is an interesting part of human nature."
38:51And she laid that out beautifully in that paragraph. Anyway, she continues, "You struck me as a sensible and fair man. Thank you. Which is why I thought you were worth addressing directly.
39:02Please also read this response. And I believe she was Lincoln.
39:08Oh, right. So, please also read this response. I gave it to someone else regarding the completely untrue story that my father was supposedly at the NYC screening for Warner studio heads screaming at them. So, she is saying that the story of Stanley Kubric leaving a private screening with the studio executives did not happen. She said, "My father left the United States in 1968 and never went back. As far as I know, that is true. Not once." But even more compelling is this interview with Nigel Galt, who worked with my father during the editing of EWS. And she also links to that. Maybe I can link that in the
39:43description so people can see that. What I do want to say there is that I I actually can't remember and I forgot to check this before. Maybe you can check this, >> Joey De. Where did the alleged meeting between Warner executives and Stanley Kubric for the screening of Eyes Wide Shut take place? Was it in the UK or was it in the US? Because her defense is that the meeting happened in the screening happened in the US and he definitely wasn't there for that.
40:13>> Um, the first screening for Eyes Wide Shut executives took place at the studios Fifth A headquarters in New York City.
40:21>> Okay. And it says Kubric himself was not present at this New York screening.
40:25>> Got it. So that would start to track.
40:28Perhaps there's another screening that happens that she is unaware of in the UK. Or perhaps there's not. Or maybe it's a halftruth. Maybe they screen the movie and the story that the conversation was happening between them on the way out is actually an overheard phone call of Stanley Kubri yelling at the phone saying, "It's my movie."
40:47That's possible. That's pure spec right there. I have nothing to prove that whatsoever. I'm simply speculating on that. But could be true what she's saying right there. I do want to reiterate and this is not something I went back and forth with her on.
41:06>> You know, there's there there are there are people who have pointed out that, you know, she and her father had a very close relationship for most of her life.
41:14She literally did the composition of Full Metal Jacket in 1987. But towards the end of her life, they were not as close and maybe there was a falling out there over Vivian and her ties to Scientology.
41:28So you again, you do have to wonder how much full awareness she had of this final project that was happening at the very end of her father's life. So she had asked me to read the response about the NYC screening. That's an extra rabbit hole. Maybe we can link that as well down below. make we can make a note of that Joey Def. But the moral of the story is what she explained there saying that he could not have been in New York City where the screening took place.
41:56Therefore, the story of them yelling at each other did not happen. Anyway, she continues, "Finally, one thing I can promise you is true. Most stories about famous people are either grossly exaggerated, complete inventions, or deliberate vicious lies. People gossip.
42:11People insert themselves into events they can never take part in. And human beings, particularly in the entertainment industry, can be envious, bitter, and remarkably willing to manufacture a story if it buys them their 15 minutes in the spotlight.
42:23Anyway, my dear Julian, I hope all of this will make you a little more wary of the second, third, fourth hand, and entire and entirely invented stories. I lived and worked with my father. I loved him with all my heart and soul, and I knew him as a human being rather than as a legend assembled from other people's stories. I hope you'll be generous enough in the spirit to give firsthand testimony its proper weight, which is why, you know, I asked her if it was cool to read this and that's why we're doing that. So, another, you know, unpopular opinion these days, but this is another thing I've said for a long time is that you
42:58don't want to define all the bad apples as the whole. So, you look at all institutions where there's evil that exists and and we've seen no better examples than this year where that is.
43:09And another one that's really popular is people love to go at every [ __ ] thing in Hollywood. There's some evil in Hollywood. No question about it. We just saw the whole Diddy thing get [ __ ] shoved under the rug. No one's questioning that. But I think you have you have to be careful because when you just say it's all of them, it's every single one of them and they all you throw out your case when you do that because that's objectively not true.
43:35There's evil and then there's people that aren't. It's a mix. and you try to sift through that and find what it is.
43:41And that's, you know, that's that's where some of her point there at the end certainly holds weight. But it does it does really creep me out that someone as brilliant as Stanley Kubrick, regardless of whatever the cut looked like >> or was supposed to look like or actually was at the end, I don't know. It freaks me out how over the target he was. so long ago. And it really freaks me out how long it took for us as a society, all of us, to realize that. And when you look at the guy's filmography before that and the types of topics that he covered and the things he did and then time was allowed to pass and you saw how
44:26well it aged like fine wine.
44:28>> I mean, yeah, >> you know, it's interesting that people didn't give him the assumption that that Hey, maybe maybe he's telling us something with his very last flick.
44:38>> Yeah. I mean, all of them, dude. 2001 of Space Odyssey and AI, Clockwork Orange and MK Ultra.
44:47>> Yeah, >> I mean, [ __ ] was a visionary.
44:51>> He was a visionary.
44:53All right. I I said maybe we wouldn't do it because it does annoy me, but it was a big story this week and we're towards the end here, so it's fine. But yes, there was a big thing with Ed Sheeran and and Bob Craft and Malcolm Moore. Bob Craft is a total hypocrite. Okay, this is the owner of the New England Patriots. What happened was Ed Sheeran's been going on tour, obviously a mega star. He's had Mmore, who's a longtime friend of his, as the opening act. Mmore is very very, you know, pro Palestinian cause and he says a lot of things I I I agree with about stopping the violence there for sure. And used his platform at
45:32multiple venues to speak out on this.
45:35And what we got confirmation on, which can you pull up the New York Post headline right there, Joey D while I'm saying this? This is just [ __ ] great.
45:42But what we got confirmation on is is Robert Craft, who was with Gillette Stadium, which he owns, was going to be one of the next stops on the tour, called up Ed Sheeran and said, "You're not playing at my stadium unless Mmore is removed from your tour." and then also apparently colluded with other venues that were going to be hosting the tour >> to get them to agree to it as well. Bob Craft is the same guy who has what is it called? Like an anti-Zionism nuclear cell center in Gillette Stadium where he just has people tagging anything that's like anti-Israel.
46:25Can we pull this up? It's a real thing.
46:27He has like a he has like a cyber team that flags anybody online saying anything against Israel, criticizing the Israeli government, which means we're [ __ ] getting flagged too on there. And like you have an artist who said things about people who are being killed in Gaza and it is at the hands of that foreign government. And that was a bridge too far for Bob Craft.
46:55It wasn't a bridge too far when Colin Kaepernick was doing all his [ __ ] in 2017, which by the way, you know, it's it's it's free speech. I I I may not like someone [ __ ] on the flag and stuff, but you know, it was a whole sideshow and all that, but Bob Craft was like, "Yeah, no, we got to have this conversation." But nope, now you talk about Israel, country he's not from, not born in, didn't make his money in, [snorts] but that he seems to be supremely loyal to.
47:23Bob Craft, same guy who got uh some nice rub and tugs in an Asian massage establishment and you know, certainly has >> certainly has has a great record with stuff. There's a there's another link there at the bottom.
47:35>> Rubbing tugs, >> I think you see that one. But yes, De pulled this up. Robert KF runs a multi-million dollar Israeli surveillance operation on American soil.
47:43If you think cancelling Mackmore is bad, you have no idea what the Zionists are planning. That is from Deaf Noodles. So this is Can we play that real quick?
47:52This is from CBS. I guess this I don't know what the timing of this report was, but maybe this is Barry Weiss's CBS when this was being aired showing this cyber center in Gillette Stadium that it's not directed towards Patriots season tickets. I'll tell you that.
48:09>> Inside the Patriot Stadium, a command center of stats tracking hate speech online. It shows where it's coming from, the time of day, and how it's trending, especially among younger people. We saw that not only is hate and anti-semitism growing across the country, it's disproportionately growing on college campuses and in high schools. Which is part of the reason Craft says he partnered with the United Negro College Fund and the Jewish organization Hell International to host unity dinners throughout the country.
48:41>> So, let's get to it. Baroo College students Aiden Herszlinger and Akish L are among the more than 450 students who've attended at least one of the dinners. What do you talk about at these dinners?
48:53>> The dinners are about finding commonalities, commonalities between the black community and the Jewish community. Um, so we really talk about anything and everything. It's not just about politics and opinions. It's about treating each other as humans. We mainly talked about our families, why we have communities, and how our communities are similar more than different.
49:13>> Why Jewish students with black students?
49:17>> Because historically, we had that connection. It's a connection that's gotten a lot done. And I think we can continue to get a lot done if we come together.
49:24>> And when you heard those students talk about the history of blacks and Jews working together, consider this. In June of 1964, three college students fighting for civil rights in Mississippi were murdered by >> I don't have an issue with, you know, communal dinners and stuff like that.
49:38It's the first part I have an issue with because guys like Robert Craft conflate, as we saw proven this week, they conflate any statements made against a foreign government as anti-semitism, which leads to actual anti-semitism, by the way, in case that wasn't painfully obvious. The lack of self-awareness is insane. So when Robert Craft did this immediately it got Mmore more attention than I've seen him get since he did the [ __ ] Thrift Shop song like [ __ ] 40 years ago.
50:06>> Oh yeah. I mean >> total boomerang effect.
50:08>> Yeah. I'm like I got to listen to his music [laughter] now. I don't even listen to it.
50:12>> Yeah. And basically everyone down to Phineas the famous producer Billy Isish's brother dropped out of Ed Sheeran's tour. his his own backing band >> back backed out because Ed Sheeran has talked about being so a-political in the past, but there if and I like Ed Sheeran's songs like like you know he's he's a very talented artist and I've never had anything against the guy or anything but he he really mishandled this because he has talked out about like the Ukraine war in the past. He has done visits to Israel in the past and stuff and he was saying, "Well, I just, you know, I I I didn't want to have a
50:46problem because, you know, I I I'm really it's a a-political nature is really really important." No. No. Bob Craft called you and said, "Listen, little [ __ ] I don't like what's being said about Israel. I'm pulling your money unless you get rid of this McLemore."
51:04All right, that's what happened. And so Mammore and and you know Mammore was classy about it as it pertains to Ed in his statement. I'm not going to read it was a very long statement but you know th this is exact you you're you're playing into stereotypes Bobcraft like you know I'm going leave that where it is. You are playing directly into stereotypes. You have to beat free speech you don't like with other free speech not shutting down speech. And by the way, the speech he didn't like and I happen to agree with a lot of what Mmore said. Sorry. Doesn't make me hateful to say that. But there there's
51:43the New York Post link you had up. So the New York Post which is just amazing amazing sometimes with with their headlines. They had a headline that said, "Mackmore, after he put out a statement, blames Jewish NFL owner Robert Craft for getting kicked off Ed Sheeran tour. Paints himself as a martyr in wacky statement."
52:05Bob Craft literally released a statement at this point. He'd already released a statement saying, "I got him kicked off." But they frame, this is another example of what Nema is talking about.
52:14They frame that like Mammore is creating a boogeyman without any proof. The guy released a statement saying, "I called Ed Sheeran and said, "Drop this motherfucker." So then Robert Craft, who really can't read a room, puts out some later statement a couple days later where he says he's agreed to match Ed Sheeran's donation who was scrambling to try to fix this for, you know, help in Gaza and then lays out how he's actually donated to Gaza so many times over the This is a guy on line one from Benjamin Netanyahu. There's there's literally a screenshot right there of Netanyahu's handwriting, writing down a list of like
52:49go-to people he can go to. And [ __ ] Bob Craft is on it. This is a guy who used to take the Patriots on [ __ ] trips to Israel and [ __ ] He's like, "Oh, no, but I I care about the Palestinians. I've been donating all these causes to create unity." Okay.
53:02Have you supported them on getting a state? Oh, I don't I don't think so. I don't think you've done that. So, have you really support him? Have you at any point prior to the public pressure here tried to call off the dogs on on, you know, bombing the [ __ ] out of full city blocks in Gaza or in Lebanon? Let's go even beyond Palestine for a second. I I haven't heard [ __ ] from you, Bob Craft.
53:25I'm just I'm really sick of people like this.
53:27>> You know, you see me. I'm I'm not even getting mad about this. I am used to this at this point. It's It's not even worth my energy. But you got some [ __ ] geriatric billionaire who's also wired right into Trump. Always has been in defense of him. He was friends with Trump long before he was president, but wired right in. His wife who's 40 years younger than him, which you know it's legal, is on the [ __ ] board of the Kennedy Center where Trump's doing all [snorts] this [ __ ] there. Like it's all a big club. And in that club, there's one thing that apparently is a no-go and you're not allowed to do. And and now,
54:01you know, it'll be interesting to see how Ed Sheeran handles this moving forward. He's completely botched it to this point. You know, I I don't want to be one of those guys. I also don't want to like cancel Ed that's doing the same thing like cancel Ed Sheeran because he [ __ ] something up, but like he he [ __ ] it up royally and and you know, you you can't just throw a check at the problem. It's like what's it going to take? 2 million. Sorry. You know, you you gotta there's got to be some self-awareness on this. And and he and he left.
54:32Ed Sheeran would have sold more [ __ ] records than he ever has in his life.
54:38>> Yeah.
54:38>> If he had backed McLemore.
54:40>> So true.
54:40>> Because by the way, the [ __ ] audience polling on this [laughter] certainly in that direction, if you will. So maybe they'll learn a lesson, maybe they won't. We'll get to the Trump pardon brokers next week. I that's that's too fun of a story to >> to be short on. But that is a real thing. There are pardon brokers.
55:01Obviously, >> if you watch this show, you know, John Kiryaku has been blowing the whistle on this for years.
55:08>> He's told the story many long before he was on my show. He's told the story at I think since like maybe Danny's first show with him in 2022. I could be wrong about that, but he's told the story about Rudy Giuliani's guys and Rudy Giuliani literally like trying to sell him a [ __ ] pardon and he was like, "Go [ __ ] yourself." You know, it it's so sketchy. But now we've reached a point of corruption where it's just so open that these guys give 60 Minutes interviews. So I I'll cover that next week and and you'll get the full context because it's a lot of fun. And there's a lot of things about also a lot of net
55:39worths seem to be increasing at substantial rates.
55:42>> Yeah, they're doing well.
55:43>> Substantial rates during this administration. So, we'll talk about that. But I could not let our favorite guy go untouched in this episode. I know Joey DeFe over here. One one thing you you don't know about Joey Def that I do is that he is a closeted political strategist. I mean that in a positive way. Like he just doesn't advertise that to people. But when it comes to designing a campaign and trying to move the chess pieces on the board and figure out who is in the best position and to be I don't know in the House of Representatives, Senate or dare I say president, there's no one who has a better finger on the pulse than
56:24Joey Dee. And that is why this week when we saw Lazarus raise back from the dead or at least sit in the wheelchair from the dead if that is even in fact him.
56:34>> Joey DeFe saw the 2028 ticket. Who is that 2028 ticket going to be Joey DeFe?
56:40And and what are you doing to put the put the dominoes at effect to make sure that happens? I got one word for you.
56:48One word. Mitch. Mitch.
56:49>> Mitch. 2028. Mitch McConnell for the presidential race. We're gonna get him up there. I'm gonna wheel him on stage if I have to. I might even take the vice presidential ticket if he offers it.
57:01>> He's the leader we need.
57:02>> He is the leader we need. He's near death. He's incap nearly incapacitated.
