0:01This next one, DeF right here.
0:04>> The Epstein safe.
0:06>> So, Business Insider put out this story.
0:08We Mike Benzed it. Archive.is. We get access to it.
0:13The title is diamonds and hard drives from Jeffrey Epstein's safe went missing for 5 days. Now we know where they went.
0:23>> That photo, man.
0:25>> Oh, yeah.
0:26>> That's like that's a that's a sinister one, you know. I hadn't seen that.
0:30>> He just took out the garbage.
0:32>> Yeah.
0:32>> You know, and he's like, "Hey, turn that off."
0:36>> O. All right. So, the FBI left behind.
0:38I'm gonna have some color commentary on this, but I want to give you guys the details right here because essentially what this is going to be is that >> I haven't seen >> there was a safe that they opened up when they had their warrant to go in there the first time, but they didn't have a warrant for the safe. So, they opened up the whole safe. They left everything on the floor and then came back with a warrant 5 days later and poof, it was gone.
1:02>> Amazing. Just completely gone. But the FBI left behind hard drives and diamonds from Jeffrey Epstein's safe when they raided his house.
1:10>> Epstein's account. Remember our friend Richard Khan >> we were talking about last week? Thief?
1:15Yeah. He's he's about to make another guest appearance on the show. Wow.
1:19>> Against his will.
1:20>> Happy to give him the credits here because >> he's a liar. But Epste's accountant, who gave them to the FBI 5 days later, told lawmakers how he got them. Another deposition sheds light on hard drives that went missing from Epstein's Florida home. FBI agents raided Jeffrey Epste's Manhattan mansion upon his July 2019 arrest. They used a chainsaw to open a metal safe. Inside, they found a And this is just what's reported as having been found, by the way. Okay, so could be stuff missing from here, and I suspect there are. How many cups of coffee or energy drinks do you need per day to stop from crashing or even to
1:54stop from feeling nicotine withdrawal? I may not be a nicotine guy, but from an energy perspective, I get it. That's why I started using ultra pouches and they've been a complete game changer for my energy and focus levels. First off, these pouches are completely nicotine free and caffeine-free, which I'm sure has you thinking right now. If they don't have nicotine or caffeine, what the hell's in them? Great question. The answer is fentanyl. Just kidding. Ultra partnered with the leading neuroscientists to design these pouches.
2:20They use clinically proven neutropics and adaptogens to deliver immediate focus and smooth energy that lasts 1 to two hours. More specifically, they use Infinity PX, a cleaner, smoother energy boost and caffeine, atheanine, alpha GPC, and vitamins B6 and B12. These are truly clean plantpowered pouches designed to sharpen your mind and lift your energy, all without caffeine, nicotine, or crash. While I can't speak to nicotine, it is a different feeling for sure than caffeine. Caffeine gives you this energy and when you drink a lot of it, obviously like it's a jolt and everything with the pouches. It's more
2:52smooth and you are a little bit more locked in. And also, it's worth noting that ultra pouches have a shorter half-life than caffeine. So, they're not going to disrupt your sleep if you have them in the afternoon. And we're talking about a brand here that is trusted by many people around the world, including top athletes, entrepreneurs, and engineers alike.

3:34>> Again, deaf, you got at least 27 passports. We were we were taking inventory of that the other day.
3:40>> Yeah.
3:41>> Well, you got in like four of them, >> Steve. Yeah.
3:44>> Yeah.
3:44>> Yeah.
3:45>> How's your espanol these days?
3:47>> Bueno.
3:48>> Okay. All right. Good. That's you got to make sure you have that in order. You never know >> when you're going through de Mexico.
3:54>> Yeah. I say um porqu espanol.
3:57>> How you doing?
3:59>> All right. So because the agents didn't have a warrant to seize the safe's contents, they left them in the middle of the floor with the hard drives and binders piled on top. Agent Kelly Maguire testified at the criminal trial of Epstein's co-conspirator, Gilen Maxwell. So this was also public testimony where they admitted this and this just kind of went right under the rug because again, there's no cameras in federal court.
4:19>> And Khan, what a lying [ __ ] too.
4:22>> Oh. Oh, lying doesn't even begin to >> But you know what I mean? Like if this is this is public, was his was his knowledge of this public through this?
4:33>> Yeah, >> that's crazy, bro.
4:34>> Yeah. So So now it's now it's uncovered.
4:36But like that's what I mean. the balls >> dude >> on Darren Andy, personal attorney and Richard Khan, personal accountant to Jeffrey Epstein to go into these depositions and say the things they did in recent weeks, which again, we covered it last week, but it went under the radar because everyone's focused on the war right now. The balls of them to go on record with Congress and provably lie over and over and over again is insane. or or here's the ordef or the other option of them telling the truth and what would happen to them punishment wise >> maybe below the >> well I jumped I jumped ahead of you read
5:22that read that last paragraph cuz I was like oh [ __ ] >> oh it's coming it's coming but what I'm saying is maybe they're so worried about certain people killing them >> or killing their families or disappearing things and stuff like that that they're like You know what? I'll pure myself for Congress and if I go to [ __ ] away for 5 years, at least there's not going to be a problem with my family. That's I'm pure spec.
5:45>> Yeah, it's pure spec.
5:46>> Pure spec.
5:47>> Pure spec. But I don't know. One plus one >> usually equals two in my book.
5:53>> 5 days later, when the FBI returned to the mansion with a new warrant in hand, the safe's contents were gone. Later that day, the items were handed over to the FBI in the form of two suitcases, cuz that's what you hand over this stuff in, by Richard Khan, Epstein's longtime accountant.
6:07>> Damn. The episode has fueled speculation among watchers of the Epstein story amid broader concerns about cover-ups and under and undue influence in the case.
6:15Oh, I wonder why. Why Khan took the safe's contents and what he did with them has been a mystery until now. In his March 11th testimony before the House Oversight Committee, Khan said that the safe's contents passed through three different people before coming into the FBI's possession. Let's keep scrolling. In a deposition made public Tuesday, Khan said he was informed of the raid by Merwin Dela Cruz, the manager of Epstein's Upper East Side mansion, who said the he packed the safe's contents into into two suitcases and left them with Khan's doorman in Manhattan. When the FBI broke into Epstein's home, they broke down his door
6:48so his door could not lock and the alarm could not set properly. Khan told the committee. When Merwin, the house manager, was at the house, he realized these items were not safe to be left alone cuz, you know, I'm sure he was going to take very good care of them comparatively speaking. Khan, who wasn't in New York City at the time of the raid, said he took possession of the items 3 or 4 days later. He testified that he brought the two bags into his apartments into his apartment and didn't look inside them. you know, he just incredible discipline. He's got a star client in [ __ ] prison in an international story for sex crimes. And
7:25now he has two suitcases that contain potentially all this data that can incriminate him. And he wasn't curious in the least to so much as unzip it and take a look. No one No one would ever know. Richard. Richard. No one would ever know. You could have could have looked. could squeeze a little something out of him too. Bump that rate, >> but it Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
7:48>> I saw it was in the suitcase.
7:50>> 35%.
7:51>> This is a guy who had some control of the estate. You think he couldn't?
7:54>> Come on. Biz.
7:56>> I mean, biz biz, Richie. Biz, baby. Come on. So, I never touched them. I never opened them and I left them in my dining room. I wonder if he had like kids like playing [ __ ] Hot Wheels in there. I don't know. Yeah, you can see the shot of the camera slowly pushing in and it's just like suitcases on a spare chair and the kids are running past it and like a birthday cake gets lifted.
8:22>> It's the hard drives with the secrets of the world >> literally. Yeah.
8:25>> You know, like every >> just in a dining room in New York.
8:29>> Yeah. And and reminder at the same time, hard drives and things that were allegedly recovered by people NYPD were so bad that guys they're literally off themselves as a result of having access to it.
8:43>> Oh, I didn't even know that.
8:45>> Yeah.
8:45>> Wow.
8:47>> It's dark. It's dark. But Richard Richard had incredible discipline and and again, this is the same guy who in his testimony said he knew nothing of the crimes. He was just an accountant and he was horrified by everything that happened. Yet he's so known and trusted that the [ __ ] house manager, the first person he thinks to give this secretive items to >> the doorman are [ __ ] not only Richard Khan but his doorman.
9:21>> He entrusted Richard's doorman.
9:24>> I kind of get that.
9:25>> I kind of get that.
9:26>> The door man like they hold it down.
9:28especially in those nice buildings.
9:30>> But still crazy.
9:32>> Huge shout out to the to the doorman in New York City cuz I'll bet the door man really didn't know what was going on here by the way. He's not read in on that kind of stuff. I'm going to defend.
9:42>> No, you just got to shut shut your mouth. Open the door.
9:45>> But Richard lives in this building. Oh, the nice accountant. This man, he walks a dog with his kids. He's so nice. It's my job to protect him.
9:54>> And he held it down. Doorman has a madeup story that he's related to James Conhan. So he's like, I gotta take extra care of him. I'm a huge fan of his brother.
10:02>> That's right. 100%. So they don't even spell it the same. Doesn't matter.
10:08>> We don't need our door men to spell. We need them to be able to hold on to [ __ ] for safekeeping.
10:14>> But seriously, Dave, that's one of some of the unsung heroes >> Yeah.
10:18>> in New York.
10:19>> Yeah.
10:19>> Are men >> and they and like they're one of those things that's not getting phased out by AI. No, no. I def I will door man or dudes. I [ __ ] with door man. I will defend those guys.
10:30>> I almost did that as like a little gig at one point when I need when I needed work. Yeah.
10:34>> When you were still Darnell?
10:35>> No, this was Yeah. I mean I would have been very clean as a door man. Darnell pulling up. I would have done like the Spice Adams like hit the kick before I walk.
10:44>> Yeah.
10:44>> Um but no, I almost did that as a job at one point.
10:48>> Well, that's a story for another podcast.
10:50>> Yeah, we're going to have to really dig into that. You would have been good at I got very close and then I was like, "What am I doing?"
10:55>> Yeah. There's no one who holds more secrets in his soul than thief, you know? I really don't know anything about him.
11:02>> I know the Darnell piece. That's about it.
11:04>> Yeah. That's it. It's for It's for the memoir.
11:07>> Yeah.
11:11Now you're scaring me.
11:13Now you're scaring me.
11:15>> You know where I was born. You know where I was born.
11:17>> I don't want to know.
11:18>> I'm just kidding.
11:18>> And you know what? They don't want to know.
11:20>> I'm just kidding. Everyone's confused as to your origin story.
11:25>> No, I just I'm one of those guys who has funny stories where I'm like, "Yeah, dude. I I was almost a door man." Or like, "Oh, yeah." And they're just like, "How the [ __ ] did that happen?"
11:32>> No, it is just a bit because in all honesty, like thief is another like Forest Gump type person.
11:39>> That's a good way to put it. He ended up at weird times in interesting places around interesting things or like two degrees of separation from interesting people both good and bad.
11:51>> Yeah.
11:51>> In strange jobs.
11:53>> Yeah.
11:54>> You also had some very good what what's the term I'm looking for?
11:59Again, I'm a little slow today. Forgive me. But you had some very good early calls of like Yeah. Not for me.
12:05>> Yeah. On some things.
12:06>> Definitely. where very good hot takes that later looked scalding hot for sure.
12:12So I I I gotta give you a cr like basically if there's some shady [ __ ] going on have this guy go take a look at it like if you suspect there is and he'll be able to tell you.
12:22>> Yeah. Yeah.
12:23>> That's kind of how it >> I appreciate that. I take pride in that.
12:25I'm a detective deep down.
12:27>> Good. All right. Let's keep going on this cuz this is just [ __ ] wild. So reached by Business Insider Dela Cruz declined a comment. Danielle Ruse Mana, an attorney representing Khan, the accountant, declined to comment beyond Khan's testimony. At Maxwell's trial, Magguire testified that the context contents of the suitcases, quote, appeared to be all of the items that had been previously located in the case.
12:49Appeared to be also a hard drive could appear to be the same hard drive, but it, you know, you don't have [ __ ] Jedi mind reading to know what the files were on that if you didn't look at it.
12:59>> I don't want to take you on a tangent, but I have one question.
13:02>> Sure. is because they didn't have a warrant for the safe. Is this not like tampering of evidence?
13:08>> Oh, of course. I I mean, again, maybe our lawyer friends are way better suited. They're definitely way better suited to answer some context on this in the comments and see if we can take a look at that. But this is the first thing I was thinking.
13:21>> I was just thinking if my house got raided and like I did something like this in my head, I'm like, "Oh, I'm this is I'm [ __ ] This is evidence. I just took evidence out of that, you know?"
13:32So, I'm just very confused there.
13:33>> And I think that's the part I was going to is like, oh, is there attorney client privilege or whatever? But my question is once the house is raided and the house had a warrant on it, right?
13:45>> And it's an active crime scene.
13:49>> Okay. They didn't have a Here's the legal question. They didn't have a warrant for that specific case, for that specific safe, which also was confusing to me cuz I'm like, if you have a warrant for the house, >> doesn't that isn't that supposed to >> they treat it like a trunk?
14:04>> I guess maybe. I don't know. Again, help us in the comments, lawyer friends. But if they know that they don't have a warrant for it, they had a warrant for the rest of the place, it's an active crime scene, and they leave things there to be continued based on forthcoming court orders to be able to legally look through things constitutionally speaking, are you, as someone within the network of the people associated with said house, meaning an Epstein, someone who's the target of the criminal investigation, are you legally allowed to try to clean that up? M.
14:37>> But De, here's the thing. It was not the first time they did this. Surprise, surprise.
14:41>> Just scroll down a little more.
14:43>> Uhoh.
14:43>> Let's go back to08. They already knew the plays cuz they had written the playbook years and years and years before. The missing Palm Beach hard drives. We've heard about these before.
14:55Actually, this one, some of this is not new. This has been discussed by I believe if it's been a while, but I think it's some of the I forget the guy's name, but the guy who's the sheriff in Palm Beach County right there who investigated the original case before it was like ripped away from him and all that. I think he's discussed this before and other people who were associated with that investigation. But the testimony released by the committee on Tuesday also sheds light on the fate of computers removed from Epstein's Palm Beach, Florida house shortly before police officers executed a search
15:28warrant there in 2005. During a local investigation into his interactions with underage girls, Florida law enforcement officials never found the computers.
15:37Conveniently, the investigation culminated in a plea deal that allowed him We know that whole thing. Okay, let's go down. Scroll down. Def sorry.
15:45Yeah. And then in a March 19th deposition with the House Oversight Committee, Darren Indk, Epstein's longtime personal attorney, said he learned after Epstein's 2008 convict conviction. So he learned after the conviction over three years later, again, this is his personal attorney who didn't even know these details allegedly. He said he learned after that conviction that the hard drives were in the possession of Riley Corali, a private investigations firm. In a October 2005 memo released by the Justice Department as part of the Epstein files, firm co-owner, William Riley, told one of Epstein's lawyers
16:18that an employee had retrieved computers from Epstein's home among other items of quote potential evidentiary value unquote. De, do you remember when we covered four or five weeks ago the storage units around the US?
16:33>> Yeah.
16:34>> That the FBI had never even searched.
16:36>> That were holding a lot of [ __ ] M >> I wonder if some of it like it was in their possession. It says right here. I wonder if at some point >> some of it or all of it ended up in those units.
16:48>> Wow. And here's the other thing. Again, I don't have any experience with this world. Maybe people in the comments can help here. Of course, if you are a private investigator, I imagine it falls under the same oaths as like financial advisor, doctor, stuff like that. like >> you are you have client privilege and you don't reveal things. Where's the line on that though?
17:11>> Because you know there's a line with a there's a line with a priest. If a priest hears someone's confession and someone says that they're going to go kill someone, I believe the priest is allowed to break that confession. And that's like literally religion.
17:23>> Same with doctors. Same with anybody.
17:25Yeah.
17:26>> So if you are Riley, what was the name of the Riley Corali?
17:32>> Yeah. the private investigations firm >> and you get possession of this potential evidentiary stuff >> and it has on it what we know it [ __ ] had on it.
17:43>> I mean we can spe pure spec here but I mean you know it's I I think at this point it's it's pretty clear. It's going to have awful ritualistic pedophilic crimes. To what extent I don't know but probably the worst [ __ ] It's going to have insane blackmail of powerful people, including people, of course, who are engaged in some of these things, not just Epstein himself. It's it's going to have this.
18:11If that comes out that that was on that, is there a way that Riley Caralei can be held liable for withholding that even if they had tried to hide behind the attorney client or not attorney client, but the [ __ ] client privilege?
18:25>> The whole thing. Yeah. I mean, the whole thing's shady. Also, why did a private investigation firm have it? Who hired an a private investigator?
18:33>> Jeffrey.
18:34>> Yeah, >> he would hire he would have hired him there.
18:38>> He would have hired him there for sure.
18:40Now, actually, here's a second pure spec level.
18:45>> Were they a whipping boy private investigation firm? Meaning Jeffrey Epstein has his own private investigators like oh I don't know say Black Cube and Black Cube then has a bullpen if you will >> of little tentacle smaller private investigations firms that they can give jobs to to remove themselves one layer from it because Black Cube for people who are unaware is a world famous infamous however you want to say it private investigations firm founded by former big air quotes members of Shinbet and MSAD and they have done private investigations for people including Harvey Weinstein and many other you know
19:29not great people of course but I pure spec feel like maybe that might have been in play here.
19:39>> Yeah, might have been might have been.
19:42>> Right. But when you look at a guy like Richard Khan having just testified all this stuff, he said one of I mean one of the funniest things he said it's not funny but it's like kind of sinister but he's like I made the wrong decision in staying with Epstein. As if he's like just figured this all out now. not like he was carrying out [ __ ] evidence in suitcases that was taken from his house after he was arrested for the worst sex crimes known to men. He also said he could not have operated. Epstein could not have operated without him.
20:20Or I'm sorry, the House oversight Democrats revealed after after doing the deposition that their takeaway was that Epstein could not have operated without Richard Khan because he was effectively moving around the money.
20:36And it sounds like in accordance with also Darren Indkike from a legal perspective as a personal attorney. But basically they were saying the trafficking ring had the money man. This this is the money man. And then he also admitted under oath same guy who's like yo I I knew nothing about the crimes or you know the the Jeffrey Epstein sick predelections or anything like that. I'm you know he just says here's $10. What do I got to do with it? of course to remain within IRS standards. Jeffrey Epstein was definitely trying to follow the law, right?
21:12>> Way to do it. No.
21:13>> Yeah. Talk to the accountant be like, you know, Richard, I want to make sure as a patriotic American, we're following every single thing correctly according to the IRS standards, constitutional standards, whatever you want to say, of the American government because I just love it so much.
21:30>> Yeah. It's like the, you know, how like they always put out the IRS every year, if you're a drug dealer or this or that, like make sure you file properly. It's like, hey, if you're a human trafficker, working with some of our constituents in the office, please make sure Absolutely.
21:44>> to file within the guidelines >> because human traffickers make really good money.
21:48>> Yes.
21:49>> And we have a lot of missiles and bombs that we have to drop in unnecessary wars on a lot of brown people in the Middle East. And so in order to do that, money is green and wherever it comes from as an Uncle Sam patriotic American, it is important that we extract, speaking on behalf of the government here, the correct taxable payments from even the not law-abiding citizens. There's such a dark metaphor to that. Please do share like each each what even if it's not children just any of each person that's being assaulted in this manner is being dropped back down to earth in the form of a bomb like each
22:34bomb is one of those cases you know and like their their end is an explosion that's hurting someone else just violence be getting violence since beginning violence you and all that [ __ ] Pretty crazy.
22:54That's wild.
22:57I never thought of it that way. I don't know why.
22:59>> I just thought of it right now as that that's darkly genius.
23:04>> Like on your part to think of it not doing it.
23:07>> No, no, no, no. Totally.
23:09>> But like you can't even get justice for these victims, many of whom are probably dead, >> right? Right. Cuz the awful things happen to them children.
23:19But then the cover up is one thing.
23:23>> Yeah. The power, the people being empowered to make these decisions who shouldn't be able to do it because they're a part of it >> is another layer.
23:31>> And then the fact that money like this made its way to the government, not to give restitution to victims or anything like that. not that money ever >> or or even to just help like poor people, >> anything, >> you know, anything anything productive and benevolent >> or productive.
23:46>> Instead, you could follow that money ledger on a balance sheet and find its way into >> Yep.
23:55>> It's literally a body for a cartridge.
23:57Like a body for a shell.
23:59>> Oh, that's awful. It's [ __ ] up.
24:04>> Yeah. I it's going to be interesting to see if Richard Khan and Darren Indkike face charges cuz these are the two most obvious people. Well, that's actually maybe a stretch, but like among the most obvious people that now just at a at a base level of clearly perjuring themselves >> Mhm.
24:25should be in shackles.
24:27>> Yeah. And they're not.
24:30Clock's ticking. They're not.
24:34I I have a ton of other stuff on Epstein here, de Some of it we won't get to. Some of it we're going to do next week. Okay. I didn't even tell you about some of these things I was looking at. But >> there's just a lot of it that's also like kind of in the news as well. But one thing that also went totally under the radar that I I held off from last week and I do not want to hold off this week is exactly what you just pulled up.
24:58Kathern Herage's report over at Katherine's at CBS now, right?
25:05>> I can confirm that.
25:06>> Am I making that up? Can we >> Can we confirm that? Kathern Herage has always been a really solid investigative reporter who tries to do things, as far as I can tell, like really down the middle, you know, just go get the facts.
25:18She's been around a long time. So, someone someone who's been from the mainstream world, who I I think is is is pretty damn good. But she went through emails and also then brought in an intelligence analyst to like break it down with her.
25:36>> She she left CBS in 2024 and now she has a weekly series that's like under the LA Times Media Group.
25:43>> Okay. All right. So, she was at CBS, now she's not. But basically, there are emails that seem to show and I and I would agree. I think there's links to the emails down there as well, thief.
25:58I don't know. It's It's somewhere in there, but we can find them. Just take a look on on Twitter. I should I should have had that for you, but I'll I'll explain the context before we get there.
26:09But basically what it shows is Jeffrey Epstein, I forget who he's talking with directly, but he is almost like giving legal advice on how to put the 911 victim's case against the Saudi government through court and acting as like a gobetween between the people trying to set that up in the US, which is like darkly like the the victims themselves like Jeffrey Epstein's acting as like a backstabbing go between between them and the Saudi government. Yeah. Here we go. Where he's advising on how to make sure this this can gets kicked down the road and and is then legally put into a position to where you can't get a result or an
27:02admission or something like that for at least 10 years or something. So he writes on No, that's the that's the ISIS one.
27:15That's that's not it. Type in her 911 emails.
27:21The ISIS one is is a weird one that I I can give a quick preview on that while D's looking that up right now. Like there's been this email floating around for weeks and weeks and weeks now that I haven't talked about yet cuz I still can't wrap my head around it, but yeah, I'll I'll come to that. So people trying to say like Jeffrey Epstein admitting in an email that he had direct I don't know like some form of direct contacts to ISIS and groups like that al-Qaeda I believe as well and that therefore it was proof that it was a that it was literally manufactured by guys like him and governments like the
28:03Israel and the US. I still don't see that in that email as pure proof. You know what? Let's pull since I'm talking about let's let's get that done right now. Let's let's You already had that up. So, this is this is the email chain in question. I'm going to read you exactly what is said so that you guys have full context. But the first email is from Monday, September 5th, 2016. So, keep in mind this is a couple days before the or is it a few weeks? I think I I think it's a couple weeks before the Donald Trump grabbing by the [ __ ] tape dropped, the Access Hollywood tape and all that. But this is like peak of Trump versus
28:49Hillary leading into the 2016 election.
28:51He's having this discussion with Tom Pritsker. So Tom Pritsker writes on September 5th, 2016.
28:59Can we blow this up, Die? That's really small. Yeah, let me just pull it to my desktop.
29:04>> Yeah, cuz Pritsker is also demonstrating some knowledge there and we've talked about Tom and who's now resigned from all his positions. All right, so scroll down. Perfect. Okay, so he says, "Yes, there is a trade craft name for this administration's approach referring to Obama administration cluster [ __ ] When China began building bases in South China Seas, we ran freedom of navigation cruises. This is a technical process that describes which of the ship systems are on and which systems are off. Obama orders it done. Pentagon sends over the details and Susan Rice views the systems on slashoff not as a protocol but as a
29:47menu of options. She overrules the Pentagon and orders which system she wants on and off. In effect, Weissa White House diluted challenge for which freedom of navigation cruises were designed. He had a foreign policy strategy that was articulated at Cairo.
30:02It's a failed strategy and he failed to change when the failure was clear. Would like to think that Aude referring to Aud Barack thought when he first heard at Cairo.
30:15Would like to think what Aood thought when he first heard this at Cairo. Good example was complete withdrawal from Iraq. military, diplomatic and economic, followed by passive support for Maliki who was then who then slaughtered Sunnis and made ISIS a rational alternative. Is there anything below there?
30:33>> No.
30:33>> Okay. So, that's that. Jeffrey Epstein responds and this is why it set off people's alarm bells. responds, "Nusra," referring to al-Nusra front, ISIS, al-Qaeda, Jabba, Hamas, the leaders all prefer Donald, meaning referring to Donald Trump. Wild and then Pritsker immediately responds, "They know Hillary.
30:58Hillary likes blowing people up."
31:01Epstein comes back and says Turkey gives Nusra a heads up on Iraqi recruits which is now implicating Erdogan and in that on you know playing on different sides of this issue visa v places like Syria and Iraq slaughter. Russia gives Erdogan heads up on a coup which was referring to the failed 2016 Turkey coup. US gives a pass on ISIS to Palmyra. Assad has no support so we'll stay. Nuclear base in Turkey. Soviet defense in Iran, Saudi and Yemen. Egypt about to lose all financial report support. Jordan has 1 million refugees as does Lebanon. Also, my guy Though Jaglan, who I think is the Norwegian guy, secretary general counsel
31:46of Europe will be here this weekend as well. Pritsker responds yes till Thursday or or he he responds in New York tomorrow through Friday but morning dinner. Hi at strategic retreat.
32:02Are you in New York? And Epstein says yes till Thursday. And that's the end of it. So people were putting this around on Twitter with written in text captions saying proof that Epstein knows who set up ISIS and was a part of doing it. Unless I am really missing something there, I don't see the proof of that yet. I'm not saying that this isn't something that happened. I'm saying if that's the email we're going off of, there's nothing there that in a court of law is going to even come close to having a jury need to deliberate. In my opinion, what Jeffrey Epstein does seem to be demonstrating is an intensive
32:38understanding of odd underground, if you will, strategic alliances between recognized and unrecognized, referring to like terrorist groups alike throughout the Middle East and how they kind of all tie together in weird ways, which was following up a full explanation of Tom Pritsker going through why he believes Obama's strategy was completely failed in the Middle East. It's fascinating in the sense that we are seeing what kind of geopolitical chops or inside baseball or whatever you want to say Jeffrey Epstein seemed to have access to or have himself, but it it there's no like smoking gun there on
33:16any of that.
33:18So, if you guys know something else in the comments that, you know, we're missing or there's some other emails related to that that specifically show like, yeah, this is how we set up ISIS or this is how we set up this or that or Epstein's talking about that or people around them are talking about that.
33:34Please direct us to them. But that one on its own, I don't see as a thing.
33:42Now, do we have the herage emails related to 911? I can't find them. The ones that you were mentioning on X.
33:50>> We're going to pause real fast. I'm going to get them. We'll be right back.
33:54>> All right, we're back. I got it. So, the email in question that I was trying to find as it relates to Katherine Eer Herage's report is from November 26, 2016. Defin me right here. And it's from Jeffrey Epstein to Rafat Alsaba. and he says, "My idea is to have both Kathy," referring to Kathy Rumler, former White House counsel, and Ken Starr, former legal counsel to the United States, who was involved in Bill Clinton's impeachment trial in the '90s, file an action asking for clarification whether JASTA is constitutionally permissible.
34:34It will tie up any litigation for 5 to 10 years. Great move. So, without going too far into the nitty-gritty, like bar by bar, explanation by explanation to confuse people, when he's referring to JASTA and some of these other legal terminologies and legal rulings that are pertaining to what he's explaining. Basically what he's doing here is using the advising on how to use the legal system to tie up claims on this Saudi v or 9/11 victims v Saudi royal family or Saudi government 9/11 lawsuits for years in court by advising them to file things that like the families to file things that are going to do that perhaps under the
35:25guise of them not realizing what that's going to do which buys them more time to find other ways to try to avoid any deeper digging or try to get to a settlement or something like that so this doesn't cause a problem and bring down a whole potential house of cards.
35:40Remember we are dealing with a guy Jeffrey Epstein who had a picture in his house of George W. Bush playing on the floor of the Oval Office like a child with paper airplanes and a couple fallen Jenga towers below him or block towers whatever they were you know and we are dealing with a guy who among the 3 million files that are missing that Pam Bondi more on her in a second is apparently never going to release includes an entire trunch from 1999 to 2001 that is ridiculously redacted which just happens to be the years leading up to and including 911 which was the most seinal event of my lifetime that caused this really
36:18basically everything that's happened since in some way or another. And so now when you have him 15 years after that event advising not as a lawyer but adi using the legal system and referring to extremely powerful people that he say can help with this quote unquote what I'm going to call inside job.
36:37It certainly lends even more questions about what we're missing from 1999 to 2001. I just thought this was an interesting report. Check out Katherine Herage's full like there's a one minute clip there, De, but there's a full like 20 minute sit down she does breaking this down. Very, very informative. Good stuff. Shout out to Katherine.
36:55>> But I said I was going to get to Pam Bondi, my favorite attorney general of all time. We've had some real gems in there >> in my lifetime. Some awesome a >> lot of good Italians.
37:08>> Yeah. Yeah. Just some awesome people.
37:10Then there was Fast and Furious Holder, you know, all that. There's this just just a lot of great attorney generals.
37:16But Pam Bondi, who you know is is an enormous fan of the Dow and the stock market and making sure that that's all up because that is the job of the attorney general. I I was unaware of this, Steve, but the attorney general is supposed to make sure the stock market only goes up for everyone in America. And in doing that, report directly to the president to make sure that that happens. You know, that's just you learn something new every day. And Pam Bondi did teach me that, so I appreciate it. But Pam Bondi apparently went into Trump's office the other day and begged like a dog to keep her job.
37:50And Trump was like, "Nah, you f." And so, as we sit here recording on Friday night, there is no official replacement yet. I'm going to get to that in a second and the speculation there. But as the epitap, if you will, on Pam Bondi in her defense, she's not playing with a full deck. This is not is not I don't know how the [ __ ] she got through law school. I don't know if she blew somebody. I don't know. But clearly not playing with a full deck when you listen to this woman talk.
38:25The one part that I will always want to know, and we will probably never find out though, is how much responsibility she actually has for the cover up. And I I don't mean for this to sound like a defense of Pam Bondi. I mean, you heard what I think of her. I think she's a [ __ ] [ __ ] and good riddance. But I do wonder sometimes about the paths that exist in high places like this to where things that you want to do or things that you have the legal chops to be able to do or the case to make or the [ __ ] constitutional authority and constitutional responsibility to make are not allowed to happen because of
39:06black hat type things behind the scenes that we can't see. I will I have to give that creek in the doorway to everyone including people I don't like like Pam body and I'm curious about that but on the surface from what we do know and what we can deal with this is a woman who also is a woman by the way in a case where a bunch of girls were abused which just kind of adds like a little extra awful taste in your mouth to that but this is a woman who came out and was telling everyone we're going to release the files we're going to do I got it sitting on my desk. I got all these awful videos, this proof, whatever. And
39:42then boom, overnight was like, "Yeah, no, there was first of all, we're not going to release the last 3 million files. That is directly against the law that was literally passed. She's legally not allowed to do that. So I, you know, she may have to answer for that in court, and I won't feel bad for her when she does. But like, not only are we not going to do that, but by the way, he was not a spy. He wasn't really a trafficker. He didn't traffic to anyone.
40:08It was just a [ __ ] up, deranged pedto.
40:10And some of the stuff I said that in the past that we had on him, we we didn't really have. There was nothing there. It was like, don't it was the old, you know, she's Italian. It was the old It was the old Italian, you know. Don't worry about it.
40:22>> Yeah. She's about >> No, no, no, no. Don't don't worry about it.
40:25>> She's about as powerful as Cash, if I was a betting, man.
40:29>> Yeah, that's a low blow, but I don't know.
40:32>> Yeah, I I think you're probably right.
40:34Either way, people like Pam Bonnie and Cash Patel were, if they are just complete puppets who were not put in a position to do anything, which could be the case, they were awful front-facing figureheads to put up. Because these are people who struggle to have any type of likability or communicative confidence anytime they opened their mouth in these respective positions of attorney general and director of the FBI. Gosh, listen. If I could defend Bondi for a second, cash is on a whole another level. That that guy, but like Bondi was particularly cringe and we wish her well as Tim Dylan would say.
41:22We're moving on. But her replacement, believe it or not, could be worse.
41:29There are, at the time of this recording, two potential candidates.
41:34One of them is Lee Zeldon, former Republican House of Representatives Congressman from New York, who very conveniently, by the way, you know, you just go to opensecs.com. If you scroll down there, right, De, who this is a guy from the Financial Services Committee, foreign affairs committee. Keep that in mind for one second. But who were his top contributors in 2019, 2020? Go down. Go down. Oh, look at that. Top of the list, only six figure contributor. Apac. Right below that, Republican Jewish Coalition.
42:15You get the picture here.
42:17probably places that are backing people that don't want to see nothing about nothing that could incriminate the Israeli government in any way to say nothing of my own government here in America was incriminated in the Epstein files significantly as well.
42:32Not a great look if that's one of the guys that you're looking at bringing in.
42:38The second guy though was Bondi's deputy Todd Blanch who is currently right now the act of the acting attorney general. He was named or has he been named officially acting attorney general or is that still reportedly?
42:52>> I don't even know. But we're going to have a few clips of Todd Blanch here because >> you know he is >> why have me hang him when he can just hang himself? No pun intended when we're referring to the Epstein case. And of course we don't mean that literally or anything like that. But this was Todd Blanch answering questions at a press conference on behalf of the DOJ in recent months. So we're these are all from recent months as it pertains to like the Epstein files blowing up. But let's start with this particularly cringe clip. Def run it.
43:23>> Uh thank you. Um um you said this is the end of the Epstein uh of your review of the Epstein files. Yeah. So, just to clarify, are is the public going to learn the identities of the men who abused the girls with the information that you're releasing? And if not, why not? And then I have a quick followup.
43:43>> I mean, you just baked in an assumption into your question that I have never said and I don't know to be true. Is the public going to learn about men that abuse these girls? Like, what does that mean? I mean, I understand what that means.
43:56Well, I mean the men who abused the young women through Epstein's >> um >> we we said in July um and it remains as true today as it was in July um if we had information we meaning the Department of Justice about men who abused women we would um we would we would prosecute them. Right? We talked about the work that we're doing. That's why I said that there I said this earlier. There's this built-in assumption that somehow there's this hidden trunch of information of men that we know about that we're covering up or that we're not we're choosing not to prosecute. That is not the case. I don't know whether there are men out there
44:36that abuse these women.
44:37>> I don't I have no idea. All right, let's run the next one. Defense, right?
44:42>> I don't think so.
44:43>> Wrong.
44:46>> This is with Jesse Waters. This one you got to turn up big time. It's lowball.
44:50Um, I'll turn it up in the post edit as well.
44:54>> Go ahead.
44:57>> Who is it? Who was Epstein spying for?
45:02>> Look, every sing I don't know that he was spying for anybody. Nobody's ever said that.
45:06>> No, you don't think he might have been a spy for a foreign country?
45:10>> I have no idea if he was a spy. All I know is that we don't have any evidence in the Epstein files that the FBI collected over 15 years that suggests that. Jesse. Um, I wasn't I don't know.
45:22I wasn't part of the original prosecution team. Neither was Attorney General Bondi. And I can tell you this, there's only one president >> that's held Mr. Epstein accountable, and that's Donald J. Trump. During his first administration, >> that was the administration that prosecuted him. And during this administration, it's the administration that's been totally transparent and released all the files. And no matter how much criticism people want to make about the Epstein files, that is indisputable. is undisputable that nobody talked about the Epste files for four years during Biden. Four years.
45:52>> That's right. I've heard that.
45:53>> And so when President Trump >> Let's get to the third one before I absolutely level this guy's entire foundation's life.
45:59>> This I I need I need one more to warm up. Oh. Oh, and then I have a special guest appearance from another friend as well. Let's get this one though running deep. So, this is another recent clip where he's being asked about the Epstein survivors and acting attorney general Todd Blanch says, "We're working hard to make sure that we've fixed that and and I expect that that will continue.
46:20>> Will more documents be released?
46:25>> We have released there are small number of documents, as I said, on Friday, that we're waiting for a judge to to say we can we're allowed to release because of a protective order. But there this this review is is over. I mean we've reviewed over six million pieces of paper, thousands of videos, thousands tens of thousands of images and which is what the statute required us to do. You know it's interesting leadership on the on the hill uh Congressman Massie Senator Schumer are quick to complain. There is no way let's just rip Massie.
46:56>> They have spent any time looking at the materials we produced. They spent no time produced. We produced them on Friday.
47:02>> Okay, one more. One more before before I go all the way in. I just I I want to point out the quickest endorsement for Todd Blanch. Pam Bonnie's body wasn't even cold yet. And Dan Bonino steps in from behind the mic and says, >> "Oh god, this guy sucks."
47:22>> Number one is the DAG, the deputy attorney general, Todd Blanch. He is now acting. I have had nothing but great relationships with Todd. relationship.
47:31>> Everything we did with Todd, whether it was summer heat, restoring justice, enduring justice, CI cases, public corruption cases, I have had nothing but good dealings.
47:40>> I think Todd would be a great replacement. It's up to the president.
47:43He is ferociously loyal to the president. He defended the president. He left an extremely prestigious, well-paid position at a private law firm knowing he was going to be targeted for the rest of his life by Democrats. And he did it anyway.
47:57>> He did it anyway. Hero. There's his formal business. All right, get get him off.
48:01>> You got to get >> [ __ ] you, Dan Bonino.
48:05>> All right.
48:05>> He's so brave.
48:06>> Here's one problem with Todd Blanch that that without getting into the many problems in the litany of those clips right there. He is a far more confident, wellspoken Pam Bondi. He says that [ __ ] like he believes it. If you watch that first clip we did where he's at the press conference and he pretends to not know what it means about a guy potentially assaulting young women as it pertains to the Epstein files and the reporter looks at him like he has 10 heads and can't believe that he has to actually explain this to this guy. I mean you heard the reporter like well I mean and he starts explaining it. You
48:37see T like uhhuh uhhuh like he's nodding at him like you're the slow one not me like incredible talent of gaslighting.
48:46have to give him that right away. You want to talk about a company man? You want to talk about a political appointee? You want to talk about somehow taking a step backwards from a Pam Bondi also with someone who's a more effective communicator of [ __ ] That's what this guy's looking like. I remind you somewhere along the way we lost the identity of what an attorney general is within a cabinet of a presidency. The attorney general, if like I don't have the full definition up in front of me right now, but the broad legality of it is that the attorney general is supposed to operate independently. They don't operate
49:26independently of like being in the cabinet. They're in the cabinet. They're I believe a part of the people who have a vote within the cabinet to invoke something like the 25th amendment and stuff like that. It's not like you're saying they're powerless within the cabinet. But when it comes to prosecuting people who break the law, or a better way of saying it, upholding the law, the rule of law in the United States as the top attorney in the [ __ ] whole government, they're not supposed to take directions from the president. And yet, in my lifetime, goddamn near every attorney general, and definitely every attorney
50:00general for the last two decades has done precisely that. Let me not just pick on Pam Bondi here or the potentially incoming Todd Blanch. All right, they've all done it. We've told the story a million times about John Ashccraftoft even who was lying on what was damn near close to a deathbed in 03 when Dick Cheney went down there and made him sign something while the guy's on a [ __ ] ICU monitor, you know? And he might have actually not wanted to sign that, by the way. That was that was like all and he didn't sign that one, I believe. So, like he actually stood up, I guess, at the time.
50:32But like Eric Holder operated completely at the beck and call the of the Obama administration. We got proof on that.
50:38Our friend John Kiryaku been on the show many times was someone who was on the [ __ ] losing end of that one provably in emails, you know, and now it's just become publicly accepted that that's what it is. But you even saw >> Jesse Waters, chief propagandist for the Trump administration on Fox News, second to none. most insane propaganda tweets for this Iran war of anyone that I've seen from the media not named Mark Levvin. You know, like even he at the beginning of that one was like really and then of course he let him talk for like the next minute and just took it.
51:14But like come on people like this is what I mean and this is why it's not to just be a conspiracy theorist which nowadays seems to be a [ __ ] compliment by the way.
51:26you know, to be like, yeah, you know, the timing of them starting an Iran war at the end of February. Pretty pretty interesting.
51:33>> Yeah, >> pretty interesting that we're we're doing this now. We're going to talk about that in a minute in the latest updates. More disasters this week. And I and I hope to not be reporting on disasters, by the way, regardless of what I think of the war. I hope to be reporting on the war winding down one of these weeks or things where [ __ ] Americans aren't dying or being t or being taken hostage and stuff like that.
51:51But here we are still now 6 weeks into what was going to be at tops a four-week war and now it's another 2 to 3 weeks alleged. It's just it's never ending.
51:59We've seen this movie over and over again. Don't learn anything. But like the timing of doing that and the caricature that has been created of the whole operation.
52:13And I hate to say it like that either because it's just so disrespectful to the men and women in service. the fact that a war could possibly be described that way because it is not their fault.
52:22I've said that a million times. I will say that till I'm blue in the face. That needs to be reiterated over and over and over again. This is the fault of people in suits in Washington DC and Tel Aviv, you know, but like particularly Tel Aviv, it is impossible to not think that the timing is what it is because it feels like guys like Ser G on Twitter to some extent still Mario Nofall, you know, putting out some reports on the Epstein file, but a lot less now because he covers the current events and I think He tweeted about that like, "Oh, RIP Epstein files, you know, because of what's going on." And and there's other
53:04accounts like the Epstein, one of them's called like the Epstein file search, which is a great account that's constantly tweeting on all these updates and things going on. So, there's still people covering it and talking about it, but you see the volume >> Mhm. over the past six weeks in particularly going through the floor on this as continued depositions and insane data keeps coming out. It continues going through the floor. Now, there's people who pointed out that on Google Trends in the weeks leading up to Iran, meaning before an attack happened, it was already falling off on search terms as
53:40it pertains to Epstein files. But I could show you Vid IQ and YouTube and the data that we look at back here and it was still pretty [ __ ] strong at the time. And I can see by the way based on the fact that people are still engaging heavily with these episodes where we are covering that as a part of it and we've done a longer time this week so far because there was just so many [ __ ] things there. You know, I can see people out there want it. But when the algorithm feeds all of us, which includes me and deaf, information, if we are not getting it put right in front of us, and then you don't work in
54:16a job like me and deaf, where our job is to go [ __ ] look for [ __ ] like that is what we get paid to do to find that [ __ ] to bring it to you guys to judge for yourselves. If you are sitting there and you are paying your bills and putting food on your family's table and you get to spend a little bit of time each day looking into things, you through no fault of your own are being fed what's in your algorithm, which means those are the things that are most searched or most in the news right now. So when things like Epstein fade away until you get maybe my video or a few other people who are still posting about this on your
54:48feed on a random day in the week, you're not hearing about it. Not your fault.
54:53It's the fault of the system and what we've created and the fact that this [ __ ] is so obviously done in front of us to move the public away from things that just aren't very good for the PR. So again, we're going to continue to cover that for sure just just as we have today. But let me let me cook on this Iran war which is obviously to take nothing away from it as a story. It's a critical story. It's just the genesis of it being created is my point. you know, the war that is particularly sinister potentially to me. But another week of pure chaos, another week of Joe Kent vindication. I talked about it last
55:33week. Joe Kent has been continually continually clear on this in every appearance and every tweet that he's put out, referring to the problem with the strategy of being able to wind these things down when you cannot put yourself in a position to restrain the Israelis.
55:52Once again, I talked about the Pakistani connection last week. We now saw it play out again with even more proof when what was this guy's name again? De I don't even remember how the [ __ ] to pronounce it.
56:05They've killed so many of them. The Israelis just targeted the latest person that allegedly JD Vance in particularly was negotiating with Kamal Kurazzi.
56:20Was that the one?
56:24Right. Right. Right. Yes, that was the one. So his home was struck on April 1st or 2nd and it was struck by Israel. His wife was killed and he sustained serious injuries. Also breaking news right before we went on air today, Wall Street Journal owned by Rupert Murdoch who also personally advised the president to bomb Iran before the war. No conflict of interest there, of course, by the way.
56:47But even the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Iran has rejected all US proposals at this time for peace and is not meeting with the US in Islamabad, Pakistan to negotiate. And I remind you cuz of course de righteously so said right away, well, you know, why would they when they're just getting killed?
57:07And I was like, well, this is actually the one place where maybe they couldn't get killed because they'd be sitting there with US [ __ ] diplomats and Israel couldn't possibly hit that one, right? But even that they're saying no to. And this is while the United States continues and Israel continues to bomb the [ __ ] out of the country. And again, I can't even believe I have to spoon feed this every week just as like the not to you guys, but to people who would try to pick apart what I'm saying, meaning like people that don't like me or people that have an opposite opinion on the war. The IRGC sucks. Iran's
57:44government sucks. It's been 47 years of hell for their people. I wish their people all the best, and I hope they get rid of that government at some point. It ain't that simple, though, because you are dealing with a regime that did not pose a threat to America in any type of major existential by any stretch way leading into this war. They had demonstrated that as a paper tiger over and over and over again. And the war was prosecuted because Israel wanted it. And by the way, over this past week, Israel said they're not going to commit any ground troops to a ground invasion of Iran. The war that they pushed for, the war that
58:23they continue to bomb the [ __ ] out of the country from the skies on against US interests, including on some of the very types of things like like energy infrastructure that the US had said on March 23rd through Donald Trump that we didn't want to bomb over the next five.
58:37in what eventually turned into an extra 10 days or something like that directly sticking a finger in the face to the United States government who pays them and say no we're going to do it anyway fam and they're not going to commit troops Israel to the Iranian potential ground invasion here and I say potential and I really hope it's potential that is never foreseen but we're sitting here and by the time this comes out tomorrow unfortunately maybe it's already a reality I hope it's not but when you're talking about potential ground invasion in Israel saying they're not going to put troops there. It is because they are
59:09busy putting troops in South Lebanon, taking land and they are doing by their own admission. Do we have the clip of Israel cast the defense minister? I talked last week about finance minister smotch talking about Israel having the land up to the Latani River in Lebanon.
59:27This week it also came out that Israel has been advising the Christian and Drews D R U Ze communities in southern Lebanon that they can who are minority groups there that they can stay in their areas but that they want them to advise the Israelis on any Shiite Muslims who are staying behind.
