0:00 - Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon show. Will Trump release the unredacted epstein files calci.com Folks, go over there. Go over to calci.com. Start your own betting market. Start your own market. Who knows? Are they gonna come out redacted? Is he gonna have Pam Bondi scrub all of the references to powerful Republicans? We don't know. Go over to cowie.com. Have fun with it. Have fun with an international paedophile ring, maybe being declassified by the United States government. Go have a go. Have a little fun. Make a buck.

0:41 How about you make a buck? 'cause then you're sitting at Thanksgiving and you go, you know, we knew he wasn't gonna release the unredacted paedophile report. And you go, yeah, I made a couple of bucks on that. Somebody go, yeah, you go, yeah, I made a couple of bucks, actually, I bet on that. I knew he wouldn't. And I made a couple of bucks and they go, interesting. You're not gonna make a couple of bucks. Mike Johnson's mad at this. He's not happy. He's the speaker of the house. He's angry that the Epstein files might be released.

1:17 He's like, not happy. He's like, disappointed. Watch, watch this. This is the speaker of our House of Representatives. And as my late nanny would say, God, help us and save us. Mike Johnson. - Alright, number five, national security concerns. Okay? The discharge requires the attorney General to release within 30 days, quote, classified information to the maximum, maximum extent possible. This ignores the principle that declassification should always rest and always has rested with the agency that originated the intelligence why?

1:58 So that they can protect their critical sources and methods. It is incredibly dangerous to demand that officials or or employees of the DOJ declassify materials that originated in other agencies. - Totally cool, right? Great point. Let's not do it. He, I, he just won me over. I totally forgot about that. That's such a good point that he just made about that. Totally fucking the guy hit it outta the park right there. First of all, they literally told you a few months ago that Epstein was not running a trafficking ring at all.

2:35 Now they're saying there are national security concerns in the intelligence of the guy who was not running a trafficking ring. Why would there be concerns about our national security in the Epstein files? Doesn't that seem odd to anyone? Supposedly he wasn't. There was no client list and he wasn't doing anything. And then if he was doing something, he was just pimping out girls to rich guys, which is obviously evil and they should all go to jail. But why does this have to do with our national security? That's odd.

3:16 Is odd that we're talking about this in terms of quote, intelligence and our national security. Remember, Jeffrey Epstein is just like a weird, rich guy who has a predilection for underage girls, right? Like he's not doing anything on behalf of any foreign government, right? He's not doing anything that our government knew about, right? He's not blackmailing anyone. It's not a, they told us it's not a blackmail operation. So it seems odd to me that there were, there'd be national security concerns in the Epstein files.

3:55 That's so weird. Johnson wasn't speaking off the cuff. He was quoting from a document produced by his office detailing five flaws with the bill. The fifth and final flaw titled National Security Concern Concerns says that it's incredibly unwanted demand that the DOJ declassified materials originated by other agencies. That declassification should protect sources and methods and directs Congress to quote, work with the attorney General Pam Bond to declassify in a reasonable timeframe. It's, it's, again, it's just so odd that this thing that doesn't exist has national security implications.

4:37 That's super weird. What? I don't get it. Even if Epstein was this guy who was like hiding money for people, or, you know, again, he was like a pimp. What does it have to do with America's national security? Huh. Huh. So odd. Interesting. Well, I guess when the documents come out, we're going to, we'll find all that out. Why it's such a concern and why they don't want it out, and who's embarrassed. And I think it's gonna be a watershed moment when these things come out. I think people are going to be disturbed by the content of them.

5:28 And I think the content of these documents is going to be enough to paint a global picture that people are going to find less than thrilling, I believe. But I, that's just my own belief. I don't know. I mean, maybe it's gonna be underwhelming, but again, there's no way that the government fought like hell to keep them under lock and key if there's nothing there. So they might be running around there trying to redact 'em and you know, you know, so you're confused them and you don't really know what's going on. They might be trying to scrub certain names from them or certain implications.

6:04 I don't really know. I know that it's, they're coming out. I don't know if they'll be out before Thanksgiving. And Thanksgiving is a time that no matter who you are, whether you're a, a, a, you know, Republican, a Democrat, a white person, a black person, a paedophile in the Mossad, none of it matters. You should have a Thanksgiving. You should have a, you should be able to sit down with your family and have a Thanksgiving and not, and not focus on the division. Focus on the people at the table whom you love. Even if they are paedophiles that are working for foreign government, it's Thanksgiving.

6:44 There's gotta be one day when we just relax and say paedophiles who may or may not be working for foreign governments, get to have sweet potatoes and Turkey and just sit on the couch after the Turkey and go, I'm zapped. And then someone goes, that's the trip. The fan in the tur like, you know, watch a little football, have some stuffing, a little cranberry sauce. And let's not lose our mind here just because someone happens to be a paedophile who's blackmailing our politicians so that we can continually be in war.

7:21 I, you know what I mean? Like if Thanksgiving's about some anything, it's about leaving those divisions behind and embracing the fact that we like to go out, have a nice meal, and enjoy ourselves and enjoy our family. It doesn't matter who they are, it doesn't matter who they are. Some of them are going to be agents of our, our own government, of foreign government. Some of them are going to be human traffickers. Some of them are gonna traffic narcotics, they're gonna be narco traffickers. Some of them are going to be kind of a pay paid protesters who just show up and start lighting shit up.

8:05 If, if somebody gives them enough money, they just show up and start lighting shit up in the town square. Who cares? It's Thanksgiving. It's Thanksgiving. It doesn't matter who these people are. It doesn't matter. Some of them are gonna be paedophiles. I don't know what to tell you. It's Thanksgiving. Trump called a woman. A little piggy, quiet piggy. I wonder what exactly, you know, there's people saying that it's gonna open a can of worms up about his relationship with Russia. I don't know if that's true. There are people saying that Putin's got compromat on Trump and has forever.

8:48 There are people saying that it's going to be about Israel. We're gonna find out Epstein was a massage adjacent and he was working, you know, there's an article that came out where it was basically like Epstein and Ou Barack were back channelling with Putin about the Syrian Civil War. And I read that article and I forgot who did the article, but we, maybe we'll throw the article up in the, in the YouTube comments or something. And that article was a very detailed account, a, a breakdown of the emails, the 30 something thousand emails that were released.

9:22 And you have this guy, Jeffrey Epstein again, who's back channelling with Ehud Barak, who's the ex prime minister of Israel. I'm sorry, he was, he was talking Ehud Barack about back channelling with Vladimir Putin about how to make money from the Syrian Civil War.

9:43 So again, that seems like a guy who's like a connected guy. I feel like that's something my, like my father wasn't doing. I mean, I don't know about that. Like, there were times that I didn't, obviously I didn't know what my father was doing. I imagine he was at work or something, but like he could have been back channelling with Ood Barack and Vladimir Putin about how to make money off of Syrian civil war. I, I don't know. I don't know. I, it's something I, I just, I imagine he wasn't doing that. And if someone is doing that back channelling with the president of Russia about how to make money off the Syrian civil War, it might be fair to suggest that that person's like connected politically.

10:33 I don't know. Again, I don't wanna jump to conclusions. It could be nothing. That's the other thing. It could be nothing. It, it could be like an accident. Like you're like, I was like at a party and then I met like a guy who knew the president of Russia. I knew the ex prime minister of Israel. We started talking, we're like, since there's like this civil war in Syria, why not make a couple of dollars? That all could be like just an accident, like a happy accident. That's what they call those things a happy accident.

11:10 So maybe it's a happy accident. Can you, can you find this article because they texted it to you. I I don't wanna judge anyone who's back channelling with the president of Russia trying to make money off the Syrian civil war. And I don't wanna suggest that that person's connected to intelligence just because of that. I don't want to, that's like, I don't wanna jump to conclusions, drop site news. That's who it's, I don't wanna jump to conclusions about any of this. I I don't want to drop site reveal that Epstein had played a role in brokering a security agreement between Israel and Mongolia and setting up a back channel between Israel and Russia during the Syrian civil war.

11:55 So what, so what, what, listen, who amongst us? No literally who amongst us has not brokered a security agreement between Israel and a Mongolia? At least tried, haven't you at least tried? You get up in the morning, you do your little workout, you have your coffee, and then you get on the phone with the ex prime minister of Israel and then try to broker a peace agreement with Mongolia. You wanna go to bed at night knowing you've done something? Do the work, do the work, do the work. And I, I just don't understand what the big deal is, why everyone's freaking out about this.

12:38 I I don't think it's such a big deal that he's just back channelling with Russia about a civil war in Syria. I, I don't get it. Everyone's like making such a big deal about this, but this seems like pretty common behaviour for a person to engage in. It feels pretty common for a guy to be engaged at high levels with a foreign government, back channelling with other governments, setting up security agreements and then trying to figure out roads to profitability during periods of internal chaos in the country. Am I wrong? I what is what?

13:13 I mean, what, why do we even care? What's the big deal? What's the biggie? What's the big deal here? It just seems like a regular guy. A regular guy. You know, what's the problem with Epstein? He's a regular guy and no one knows what a regular guy is anymore. That people are flipping out about this. He's not, he's not a they them, he's just a dude. He's a guy who's brokering defence agreements on behalf of Israel. I don't, so what? He's like a guy. He's a dude. He likes boats. Well, of course, no, I'm, that's, that's odd and weird.

13:58 And we know that it seems odd. It seems odd. It almost seems like there's, he's doing something now. Why does Donald Trump not want these documents out? We don't know that. Is it because his friends will be embarrassed? That seems odd. Does Trump really care about his friends? We don't know. He doesn't seem like a guy that loses a tonne of sleep over friends of his getting embarrassed or other members of the government. But we don't know. We just don't know. Is he implicated himself? Well, I guess we'll find out. It certainly seems that he doesn't want these documents to come out because he himself will suffer some fallout when the documents come out.

14:47 Everything about him and his character suggests that this isn't concern for others. That is motivating his behaviour. The extent to which he'll be embarrassed and the extent to which he's implicated in wrongdoing is we don't know. And by the way, we don't know what version of these documents is gonna come out because we have Pam Bondi and Cash Patel, and we have all of these people, this goon squad who lie about everything. Now we don't, we don't know. We can't trust any of them. They told us nothing was going on.

15:24 All of these people have come out and said that nothing is going on. And, and, and the Drop site news article literally shows you this guy's back channelling with, with serious players on the, on the world stage. So it's like everyone knows, and it's not a secret and it's not like Inside Info to suggest that this guy was a, a power player in, in power politics all over the world. And that that's been downplayed by most media outlets and it's certainly been downplayed by members of our government who've all fought like hell to keep these documents from seeing the light of day.

16:08 And if you know, we'll, we'll put that article up. I'm telling you right now, the gift that keeps on giving is the Aura frame folks. It's one of my favourite holiday traditions and memories.

And I don't wanna jump to conclusions here.

17:09 That's not what I wanna do. I don't wanna jump to conclusions about this man, just because like for example, the, the, the ex prime minister of Israel like stayed at his house a bunch and emailed with him a bunch and like talked to him a bunch and like they tried to like do business with together with each other. But what does that even mean? What does that even mean? Like if I talk to someone all the time and they stay at my house and I try to do business with them, do I even know them? Maybe I don't even know them. Why?

17:45 Let's not jump to conclusions and start like painting with a broad and going just because you stay at someone's home, you talk to them all the time and you guys are in business together. You like know the, like, it's like crazy to say that's like a crazy thing to actually say. It's literally insane. It's literally insane to suggests it's somebody who sleeps in the residence you do and talks to you all the time and has financial interests that are commingled with yours knows you. But they probably, it was probably very like, who even are you half the time?

18:16 But, so let's not just because all of those are complete facts that are like, no one's disputed by the way, no one has disputed any of those facts. Let's not jump to conclusions and say there was something untoward going on because these are a lot of coincidences and that's the way the world works actually. There's lots of coincide Ky dinks and, and it's actually just kind of fun and silly and I don't think it suggests something nefarious necessarily that Jeffrey Epstein and the ex prime minister of Israel were trying to back channel with Putin about the Syrian civil War.

19:01 It seems pretty on the up and up to me. What's the big deal? It's almost like, here's what paranoid people will say, psychos lunatics, people you should not let into your house taste Thanksgiving. Psychopaths will say, it almost seems like there's a area or a realm or a dimension of power that's filled with shadowy characters and ex-government employees and current government employees who are essentially running like another government under underground that is using intelligence agencies and wealthy people and corporations to influence policy with regards to war and peace and security.

19:54 And that dimension of power is using things like human trafficking to control and blackmail government officials so that that dimension of power can continue sucking money out of any corner of the world they want. That sounds crazy. That sounds nuts. Get my clown nose. That sounds nuts. That's even as I say it, it sounds wacky. It's crazy to even think that it's so nuts. I should be put in a home. But that would be what you would think after you looked at all of this, you would actually think that maybe there's just a dimension of power that we don't really know much about that's kind of leaking out, you know, like radioactive material that's leaking out.

20:45 And we're all figuring it out little by little in this dimension of power involves people like Jeffrey Epstein and, and counterparts of Jeffrey Epstein all over the world who, who end up getting in between current and former government officials, corporate interests. And they end up creating this bridge. And then this bridge is used so that these people can kind of back channel with each other and determine the best course of action to guarantee certain political and financial interests that they prevail no matter who's in charge of the government.

21:34 That seems to be what's leaking out. This is something that's leaking out and that's kind of already out there in the open. Like no one's really disputing any of the facts. Go read that article if you want. Nobody's dispu. Get that article up, get the drop site news article, the actual article that I sent you, and I wanna read some of it. It's actually very interesting and I don't really know much about, I know I, I was sent this article by a few people and I sent it to a few people and this is one of those articles that demystifies some of the questions about who Epstein is and how he operated and the world in which he operated.

22:23 And a lot of people will suggest, if you had brought this up a few years ago, people would've called you paranoid and insane and crazy. And now they have no choice but to reckon with the fact that nobody is really challenging much of the substantive work done in the article that connects Epstein to serious, serious, serious people all over the world. So here, make this a little bigger. This was written by a guy Ryan Grim. Keep going. Jeffrey Epstein and Ehud Brock were specialists in war profiteering at the end of his tenure as Israel's defence minister.

23:07 And after his supposed retirement, Barack embraced a role as a salesman of Israeli security services to embattled governments. Opening the door for Israeli intelligence leaders to shape the security apparatuses of several African nations quietly facilitating these efforts was Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein wrote at one point to Barack quote, with civil unrest exploding. And the desperation of those in power isn't this perfect for you? Barack replied, you are right in a way, but not simple to transform it into a cash flow.

23:40 So that's what, that's what, and they were talking about an African nation div deir or something. So this is what was happening, this is what was going on. And this is what people on the internet have called no evidence.

24:03 This is what people on the internet have referred to as. No evidence, no evidence at all. It was funny, aunt Coulter, you know, I had my barbecue in the Hamptons and Aunt Coulter was there and she's like, she came, you know, she got a bunch of friends in the Hamptons and yeah, I grew up watching Anna in there and she was like, oh, and she, she pulled everyone close. Like she was gonna say something really like, like, like, like amazing, like, you know, and she's like, I think this Jeffrey Epstein was being funded by Israel.

24:34 I'm like, Anne, you're like a few years late. Thank you for the scoop. Thank you for the scoop. Obviously this isn't suggesting that Jewish people or even Israelis have have anything to do with this or should even be blamed for it. 'cause I don't wanna be blamed for what the CIA does. I'd never wanna be blamed for what the FBI does. I'd never wanna be blamed for anything that the deep state or the intelligence apparatus of my country does. I think people in the UK or France would never want to be blamed for what, you know, intelligence agencies or criminals in their countries do.

25:12 But this does suggest that there is potentially a dimension of this that is going to get very, very sticky on a geopolitical scale. You know, this is another article here, hacked emails show how Jeffrey Epstein and former Prime Minister Ehud Brock tried to engineer a Russian led solution to remove Bashar Alad, who was the leader of Syria. Jeffrey Epstein facilitated efforts to open a back channel between Israel and the Kremlin during the Syrian Civil War, according to leaked emails from the Israeli Prime minister Ahu de Brock.

25:49 Let's get a few quotes just keep going down. Let's find some quotes here so that, that quote that we just read, which civil unrest exploding in Ukraine, Syria, Somalia, Libby, the desperation of those in power, isn't this perfect for you? And he said, yes, not easy way to turn it into cash flow, you know, so clandestine actors sought to shape agendas in Moscow and Washington while Israeli officials denied involvement. And so you have a guy like Jeffrey Epstein, who again, this is the term back channel. This is the whole point. This is the reason that Jeffrey Epstein exists.

26:25 It's plausible deniability. You have a guy who knows a lot of people in power, has leverage over them for whatever reason, and we know what reason. And he can set up these meetings and, you know, people trust him and they, you know, they go, he acts with discretion. So again, this drop site news, our ongoing series reveals how Epstein news, elite networks and quasi official institutions to promote security interest, Israeli security interest. And here's the deal, these are quotes directly from declassified emails.

26:56 They're not like, this isn't like some type of like, you know, in the early hours of May 9th, 2013, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barack emailed his close friend Jeffrey Epstein, with a urgent message. Are you awake? Funny? Are you up? If yes, please call Barack wrote Epstein at 1:00 AM in New York. Shortly after they spoke, Barack emailed again. Ask Epstein to keep their conversations private. Jeff, Pete, please don't share info with any of our friends. Epstein replied, of course not. I think you should let Putin know you'll be in Moscow.

27:25 See if he wants private time. They build the back channel to Putin in ho hopes of winning Russia support to remove Syria. And President Bashar al-Assad from power. According to leaked emails from a Hu Barack's inbox before approaching Putin, Barack and Epstein sought to use one of the major American newspapers to frame Israel's narrative about the Syrian war, the Tele and Telegraph, a framework for peace talks led by the United States and Russia. So this is a little lesson about how things work. There are certain people that have certain interests in a global framework, and in order for that to be enforced, certain leaders have to be removed.

28:13 And that cannot be done all the time overtly because those people don't want to come out and say, we want to get rid of this person because they will be accused of destabilising countries regions whatever. So you have Epstein, you have back channels, and then you have people going out in the media going, here's the narrative for why we should do this. Here's the narrative for why the United States needs to get involved in this. I'm sure Bashar Assad was not a great guy. I don't wanna live in Syria. I don't like Bashar Assad.

28:51 I never wanted to live in Iraq under Sudan, Hussein. I never wanted to live under the Taliban and Afghanistan. It never looked fun. You know, I, I like, you know, New York, I like California, I like Florida. I don't really wanna live in Syria. And I, you know, my interest in Syrian politics, I gotta be honest with you, is not is, is not like, it's not like a huge motivating factor in my life. I just don't wake up every day and go, what tribal war? What tribal gang in Syria should I get behind today? It's not something that I usually do. God, I love quince.

31:28 But after nine 11, and I want you to listen to this because this is very, very important. After nine 11, which was the worst terrorist attack on American soil and that we had ever had, I was in 11th grade after nine 11, there was an idea that America could no longer afford to ignore emerging threats from all over the world. America had to take charge, take the lead, the Bush doctrine, preemptive war, go in and get it before it's a problem, shut it down before it gets cooking, go and knock over. We're gonna invade their countries.

32:15 We're gonna, we're gonna harbour no di we're gonna draw no distinctions between terrorists and those who harbour them. You got a couple of people popping shit at a cafe and you're the leader of a country, you're out, knock 'em over. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria. So what happens? We get rid of these governments because they're naughty and they're bad and there's terrorists, there's people don't like America. So a guy in a cafe goes, I'd love to bomb the shit outta that. And then if you are in the ccia, a you know, you, you get all this intelligence and you go into the White House and you go, so by the way, at a cafe, you are never gonna guess what happened.

32:55 This guy, whoever, whoever, al whoever Muhammad Al whoever said he's gonna blow us up. Can you believe that? Can you believe he said that? And then usually the president might ask like a follow up question, like, why is he submitting us in the saying and go, I don't know, it's, you know, and we killed his father and his son. Anyway what? We should go in there and knock over the government because otherwise, you know, this guy's just gonna, you know, raise an army and, and he's gonna get over you. He is gonna slip through the cracks and just, he'll just put the SAR and gas in the New York City subway system or he'll, he'll blow up.

33:33 You know Matt Rushmore, you don't want that on your watch or you don't gonna blow up Mount Rushmore. You think that's good if he blows up Mount Rushmore on your watch? No, that's the one with the heads. Yeah, in the mountain the heads get blown up. You like that Lincoln's head blown up on your watch? Did they say they were gonna blow up Mount Rushmore? Not exactly, but we, we, we imagine that's something they do, right, right. Not good. Well what about Vegas? What if they nuke Vegas? What kinda nuke Vegas. Yeah, it's a matter of time. Vegas.

34:01 Everyone's having fun bachelorette party, they nuke it, they'll nuke Vegas. They're gonna nuke Vegas. What? Yes. So now you have some guy popping shit in a cafe about how much he hates America and I'm sure how much he'd love to attack it. So you're the president, you've just gotten this information and they go, well, here's the problem. It's a bad regime. They tolerate these radicals in their country, they harbour these terrorists. There's, they're on a list, let's knock 'em over. So you knock over the leader of the country, whether it's Saddam Hussein or Bahar Assad or the guy in Libya, Kadafi, you get rid of him, you go bad, you're out.

34:38 And then you put someone else in. Now who do you put in? You put in somebody who is usually pro western business interests. Okay? For a time, for a time they come in that you usually back them. Okay? And then what happens is they have to run this country. So they start doing a lot of what the other people used to do, the torturing, the disappearing people in the middle of the night, the rape rooms come back. Now remember they get you, you instal them and, and, and you're like, it's a new page and a new chapter and we're excited for the new Iraq.

35:14 It will be the new, you know, a new chapter is written in the history of freedom or whatever. You know, some of these guy who graduates Georgetown writes this speech and you say it and you instal some psychopath and then you stop talking about what happens. And then years later, if you do a tiny bit of research, you find out this guy's doing the same thing that you invaded the the country for, but he's cutting you a piece. So he's cutting you a piece. That's the way the game works. So like the other guy wasn't really cutting you a piece.

35:49 The other guys, they're both doing the same thing, which is bowling with people's heads. They're just bowling with people's heads. That's what they're doing. They're taking people's heads and then they're bowling with them in the palace with people's heads. But one of these guys wasn't breaking you off a piece. Now the other guy is breaking you off a little piece for a while and then he stops. Maybe he stops, he goes, you know, I don't wanna break you off a piece anymore. Because elements of his government start going, Hey, we're a little sick of breaking America off a piece.

36:21 We think you're a cock for the west. We think you're kind of a cock for the west. We, we, we, we don't like this. And you know, we think maybe we'd do a better job. So in order to avoid some coup or some internal strife or discomfort, he decides, you know what, I'm gonna turn on the west because my people are angry at me. They wanna get rid of me because I've been robbing them blind. They're kind of, they're kind of, the jig is up. I gotta get mad at somebody. I can't fire me. So I'm gonna start turning on the west.

36:52 And then you turn on the west and then it's just rinse and repeat. And then we just do the same thing. And this is what we've done. This has been our foreign policy for a very long time. We spend trillions of dollars doing this. American service. Men and women die. Nothing changes in any in many of these countries. By the way, most of these countries are exactly the same way they were. They are horrible places to live. Many of them have sectarian, ethnic and religious beef. Just like the guy in Minnesota who no one wanted to vote for because he was from the wrong Somali tribe.

37:28 So a lot of Somalis in Minnesota didn't vote for that guy who looked like Captain Philips because he was from the wrong Somali tribe. They were loyal to another Somali tribe. And they're all here in America eating pancakes. So tribal ethnic sectarian warfare is making an appearance in Minnesota state politics. It's gonna be an interesting fare in 10 years over there. But my point is this, all of this stuff that I've grown up with that we've witnessed that's supposed to make everything safer and more secure and more pro western.

38:04 Because again, after nine 11, guys like Thomas Friedman at the New York Times were like we're, we wrote, they wrote books like longitudes and attitudes and the world is flat. It was about how globalisation was going to cure war and it was going to open the world up. Technology had flattened the world, free traded, flattened the world. People were able to communicate with each other. Capital was allowed to move across borders. People were allowed to move across borders. We had immigration, we had free trade. And all of these things were supposed to create an interconnected, interdependent world where everybody was respectful and kind.

38:48 And it's helped out the very rich, the very poor. Now the middle class of all of these countries were just told to go kill themselves with fentanyl. Thomas Friedman didn't really realise how that would affect the body politic by going to the vast majority of the middle of all of these countries and telling them that they weren't really needed anymore and they could just go and drink themselves to death. But very poor people in, in parts of the world that were living on like less than a dollar a day. Those people were Ben benefited by globalisation.

39:22 And then uber wealthy people, Larry Fink, the BlackRock folk and others benefited as well. The benefits usually went to college educated people that were working in industries that that benefited from cheap labour or they benefited from the technology. And a lot of these industries, the people in them were, you know, very, you know, pro. The idea that western civilization, which again I'm a huge fan of, could be exported to the countries we're talking about now. And they felt very good about it. They'd go to brunch and they would sit there and they'd eat avocado toast and talk about like women in Afghanistan learning to read.

40:14 And it was very nice. And then they would go to their job at Apple or, or or you know, Goldman Sachs or whatever. And they would, and they would, they would talk on the, on Sundays about women in Afghanistan learning to read. I'm not against women learning to read. It's great that women are learning to read in Afghanistan. Of course that doesn't really tell the whole story of what's happening in Afghanistan either. So the government realised that we could play these games by convincing people that their safety in America depended on them, allowing the government to use their money to fund endless wars.

40:53 Not only their safety but their more their morality. It was a moral thing to go in and knock over these terrible leaders that were oppressing people and then open up more opportunities for women or the disenfranchised, whatever the case may be. Which again, in principle I'm not against, but that's not whatever really happens. It happens for a quick minute. The Taliban are back, the new guy running series of jihadist. But the other thing that happens during all of this, again, remember globalisation is a cure for terrorism because we can't shut the borders, the world's flat.

41:31 We can't become more protectionist where we, we just have to deal with it. So the only way to do this is to convince everyone in the whole world to like us. And the only way to do that is to invade their countries, decapitate the leadership of those countries, instal pro western puppet governments and build hotels and shopping malls for those people to go to as opposed to Madrassas or religious schools where they learned to hate us. This was the entire ethos of the early two thousands. It was the religion of the Washington establishment, the elite, the media, every journalism school, every single political science from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, all the way on down.

42:15 If you meet somebody who went to George Washington University, they were raised on this. They were all raised on this, as was i, I was raised on it listening to the Fox News blaring in my Long Island house. I was raised on it. Everyone was raised on this idea. Some people call it neoconservatism, some people call it neoliberalism. It doesn't really matter what you call it. This was the way that America had run for a very long time. And this is an indication of the people that were behind the scenes pushing the real narratives, the real rationale for these wars, which usually was tied to not usually always tied to money, making money, strategic interest, natural resources, money, ports, control.

43:06 We get it. And some of that's important. I'm not saying it's none of that is important, but it was never about democracy. It was never about the women learning to read. And when you read these emails, when you have Jeffrey Epstein talking to Ehud Barack going, how do we make money here? How do we make money off the Syrian Civil War? And then going, let's have a paper in America. Write a nice article about that. Bahar Assads a piece of shit I met. Let's get who's the new leader of Syria? Get 'em out. Get the new leader of Syria.

43:40 Who's running Syria now. Brittany Broski who's running Syria. I wanna know who's running Syria now I'm curious because I, this is like a jihadist who is now running Syria, which again, again I don't care about. But it is interesting that people are excited about this guy. What's his name? Ahmed Rah is a, he is a former jihadist who fought with Alqaeda and was once a US prisoner. He led the rebel group Hayat to hear Al Sham before severing ties with Alqaeda and becoming an elected transitional president. Interesting interesting.

44:19 Do we have any or their videos of him? Are there videos of Ahmed Al Sharah? Maybe we can find some, I don't know. I don't wanna judge Ahmed Al. I'm sure everyone makes mistakes. A lot of people fought for Al-Qaeda. A lot of people ended up a US prisoner while fighting for Al-Qaeda. A lot of people back channel with Putin. I don't wanna judge any of these people. I don't wanna judge them. Maybe they're good people that ended up in wacky situations like a hangover movie. I don't know. I don't want to judge any of these people.

44:56 But apparently this guy is now running Syria and apparently that's like a, a win. Now what are the chances down the road this guy's gonna turn against us? I don't know. I'm betting high. That's my guess. My guess is that down the road it's possible that a man who once fought with Al-Qaeda and ended up a US prisoner might turn on a, I don't know, I'm just throwing that out there, that down the road that could happen. And then I guess we'd have to go in there.

45:33 So I just don't understand how exactly it's a win for us. Is this him? - Yes, - This is him. - Yeah. - On Fox News, this guy. All right, this is the new president of Syria on Fox News. This is, he's talking about his connections to Al-Qaeda. And again, this is what happens. That he's in a suit, he's got a tie. He looks like a guy that would sell you a Mercedes in, in, in Los Angeles. He looks like a guy that would sell you a Mercedes in Los Angeles. Now they're not showing the pictures where he's hanging on the back of a truck with the black ISIS flag waving it around.

46:16 They show you a photo that looks like he's about to sell you a Jaguar in Century City. Let's take a look at New Syrian president. - Do you Mr. President have regrets that Al-Qaeda carried out those attacks that killed 3000 Americans? - I was only 19 years old so I was a very young person and it didn't have any decision making power at that time. Right? And I don't have anything to do with it. And Al-Qaeda was not present. Right, right then in my area. So, so you're speaking to the wrong person about this subject. We mourn for every civilian that got killed and we know that people suffer from the war, especially civilians who pay the price after the price support the war.

47:06 - Mr. President, the White House has said that President Trump would like Syria to join the Abraham Accords. - Yeah. So that's the new president of Syria who was like, Hey, I didn't have anything to do with that. You get outta here. Can you get outta here with this? Everyone wants to know. Yeah, I was in Al-Qaeda. So what, what's the big, I was 19. So that's the president of Syria. And I'm I again, I'm hoping that it all works over there. That's my goal. I'm hoping that it all works. I'd hate one day for a guy who's running a human trafficking operation, Allah a, a Jeffrey Epstein type to have to back channel with someone else about how to get rid of him because that's the way it all works.

47:54 There'll be an email that someone will send about this guy going, let's go to one of our press outlets and talk about how this, and they'll write, they'll go, you know, he was a prisoner. You know, he, you know, he was actually captured, he was in Al-Qaeda. So this foreign policy was like, it is called, to me it's a goldfish. 'cause the goldfish is don't really have a memory. You don't really have a memory. So they count on the American people not really having a memory and just being like, you know, eating and watching things and not really caring.

So now what else has happened while they've been knocking over governments all over the Middle East, you've sent thousands and thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions actually of refugees all over Europe and from cultures that are not super compatible. Like at the a hundred thousand Syrian.

50:34 Refugees are going into Germany. Syrian culture, people that grew up, you know, in Syria, in a, in incredibly religious, you know, fundamentalist SEC of Islam might not assimilate easily into Germany. And it doesn't make me a Nazi to say that it's just something that may or may not happen. I'm sure some of them will. But if you take people from a radically different culture and you dump them onto a country that's having issues, as is, people that are in that country tend to get mad and they get radicalised and they radicalise to the right or to the left and they eventually will engage in some type of violence.

51:16 And then you use that violence as an excuse to take away even more of their civil rights. And you keep doing this. See this, you go, we put a hundred thousand people here and some of them are gonna assimilate and some of them won't. And some of them are gonna turn to crime and some of them might just start grooming gangs and some of them are going to prey on your daughter, which is true in fact not all of them obviously, but some of them will. And some of them are gonna take government benefits and not do anything with it.

51:46 And some of 'em are gonna be amazing patriotic citizens who love Germany and become good Germans. And some of them won't. A lot of them might not. And some of them actually, I know this is gonna sound crazy again, but are gonna go actually we're really fundamentalist Muslims and we kind of believe that Germany should be a Muslim country. So what we're going to do is support Muslim candidates for mayor and for city government and for other positions on the courts whatever. Because we want the country to turn in the direction of Islam.

52:21 That's what we believe. We would like to live in a Muslim country called Germany. That's what some people gonna do. Now you you're a nut job. You're a nut. Now remember, here's the ultimate thing here that's kind of funny. We're all told you can't go to Saudi Arabia and do the comedy festival 'cause they're demons and it's dangerous and they're horrible people. But we're also told that there's absolutely nothing to fear from fundamentalist Islam settling in your country. You gotta open your borders to anyone that wants to come in.

52:59 And if you suggest for any minute that certain cultures will be less compatible, you are a Nazi psychopath. But if you've, why is Saudi Arabia so bad, by the way? Why are they so wacky over there? All these laws that people don't like. What inspired these laws? What fundamentalist religion inspired all of these laws in Saudi Arabia that people seem to like, I don't know, I forget. But apparently that is so dangerous and so bad. But again, if you object to it coming in here, you are a Nazi pig. Shut your mouth now you have to keep these contradictions in your head all the time.

53:44 This is what it's like to exist on the internet. You have to not see any of these things. You have to just lash out at people. Okay? You never see a cat when you do the thing with the yarn. It is just batting it. That's what you have to do. Riyadh, bad. It's bad. Why is it bad? Bad They killed a journalist. Interesting. What else is going on? And they treat gays terribly. And women travel. And why do they do that? Why do they do that? They do that because they have sh like Sharia law, which is Islamic law in their society.

54:15 Yeah. Okay, so maybe should we like think about that when admitting people in our country, you're a Nazi piece of shit. What? Hold on. That doesn't make any sense. Nazi, you're a piece of shit white sre. No, no, no. I'm just asking. You are the one who threw a huge fit about these laws in these countries. You don't like what inspired those laws? And if, if somebody from Germany says anything or Sweden or Norway about the fact that you are dumping people who believe the exact same things that the organisers of the Evo Riyadh Comedy Festival believe, then what are we doing?

54:59 But again, you have to, you have to go past these contradictions. You just have to emote. So when in, in, in the UK and in France that are having major issues with culture, okay? Major issues with different cultures, figuring out ways to live together. It's very hard. So all of these, these ideas that knock over these governments in the Middle East send refugees all over Europe that have a tough time assimilating the populations of those countries begin radicalising. Some of them unfortunately engage in acts of violence.

55:39 There are skirmishes, there are things like that. So the governments of those countries say, you know what? We're not stopping the immigration. We're going to just start putting people in jail that say things on Facebook we dislike. That's what we're gonna do and just go put 'em in jail. So if you say anything about the immigration, you're going to jail and we're gonna strip more of your rights. And that's what we're gonna do soon. We'll have a digital id. We'll take all the money outta your bank account, we'll put you in jail.

56:03 And if you point to any of this and suggest that perhaps it's weird or negative or bad or a harbinger of things to come, you'll be called every name in the book. And they, there will be no logic. There is no logic to it. You can easily see how all of these things are reinforcing all of these other things. So I'm starting to think that the people, the architects of these policies actually don't want it to work. I'm starting to feel like they actually don't want this to work. They actually want the chaos. They want the strife, they want the problems, they want the economy to collapse.

56:42 They want the violence so that they could come in and take everybody's rights. Because if I a college dropout from Nassau community college clown comedian who wears sunglasses and does a show in front of an inflatable cactus or a picture of a beach that we 3D printed at Kinko's can figure all this out. I imagine that a Rhodes scholar from Harvard might have had one or two of these thoughts as well. Okay? So I imagine that someone somewhere's come across this stuff and realises what the hell's going on, but they don't seem to ever care.

57:16 They seem to continue on this course because it guarantees more violence and chaos at which point the violence and chaos starts to get overwhelming. And you need to use some type of technology, surveillance technology perhaps to monitor people, to prevent that. And if society gets bad enough, people will actually surrender their rights and say, we don't really give a shit about your right. You can surveil us. You can do anything you want as long as we can go outside and walk to the park without problems. So that seems to be the plan here.

57:54 That seems to be what's going on. And I don't see how people could see it another way. I know some people obviously will hear this and disagree with me. They think I'm an alarmist or a racist or crack head or crackpot or whatever the case may be. But I'm just laying out the, the facts as I see them. I mean, nothing I'm saying is really over the top speculation. This is all happening right wing, far right leaders and are are getting popular all over Europe. You have the far left is getting popular as well, meaning people are radicalising to the fringes of the, the political ideology.

58:43 And it's happening because the centre, this centre has decided to basically throw them overboard and tell them that any concern they have is chalked up to racism or xenophobia and that they shouldn't be listened to. And in fact they should be ignored and bankrupted or cancelled or thrown out or you know, this is, and and, and this is what you see happening. I mean these, these hate crimes laws and free speech stuff in the UK is genuinely insane. It's genuinely insane. So all of this is to say that would be insane to think that just because Jeffrey Epstein was back channelling with the Israeli Prime Minister about how to make money from the Syrian Civil War, it would be completely crazy to suggest that that linked him to any foreign government or any illicit nefarious activity.

59:39 He's just a man trying to make a couple of dollars like anyone else. The thing about Jeffrey Epstein is that he understand life was short and you gotta make the most of it. And that's maybe why people disliked him. That's perhaps why people disliked him. And we're gonna find out when these files come out. But this war, the way the world has been running since I'm 14 or 15 years old, is everything that I have just described to you. That is the operating system by which the United States has interfaced with the world.

1:00:20 People in the United States and other countries, especially very wealthy people, don't seem to care much about the United States. They have loyalty to this economic system that allows them to maximise their profits all over the world. And they buy politicians in order to let them do that. This isn't just, you know, this isn't like Jewish people or Muslims or anything. This is everybody at, in a certain income bracket. A lot of them seem to not care that much about any specific land mass. They seem to maintain multiple homes all over the world and they have loyalty to their own economic standing and preserving their own influence and power.

1:01:09 And those are the people who don't say anything about the Epstein stuff. And those are the people that don't say anything about the problems in the UK or the skirmishes and Dearborn or whatever, which I don't even know much about. I'm just saying those are the people that will not say anything. When the government goes super to the left, I mean the culture rather goes to the left or to the right. They don't really care. It doesn't bother them, it doesn't affect them. They're here to turn it into cash flow. They're here to turn the Syrian Civil War into cash flow.

1:01:46 They don't care about your life. They don't care about your children. They don't care about their mental health. They don't care about their phones. They don't care about Dick Doc. They don't care about the drugs. They don't care about the violence. They don't care about the crime. They don't care about the ghettos. They don't care about any of that. It doesn't bother them. They don't. In fact, some of them get off on it. They're kind of freaks and they like it. It's a little wild. But they don't care about any of that.

1:02:07 They don't care about the disappearing middle class. They don't care about the lower class. None of it bothers them. They don't care about any of it. They don't care about you, your family. They don't care about America. Certainly. They care about preserving their power and influence. And that's where people like Jeffrey Epstein come in. He does the bidding of people that don't really want to listen to the Marjorie Taylor Greens. They think she's white trash. They think she's from Georgia. They think she's a monster. She ran a construction company.

1:02:41 She's a mother. She has a kid. They don't give a shit about any of that. You know why she didn't go to Harvard? Okay, she didn't go to an Ivy League school. They've never met her at at, at a friend's house in Greenwich, Connecticut. Okay? She's not married to somebody who runs a hedge fund. She's not married to somebody who runs a private equity company. She doesn't speak of the World Economic Forum. So they, they don't like her. They do not like her, and they do not like people like her on the right or the left. So this group of people, this class of people that wants to preserve their influence, their power, they go and live in the grey area, and people like Jeffrey Epstein work for them.

1:03:31 People like Jeffrey Epstein work for them, and he gets them anything they want. Many of them have sick perverse appetites. Many of them are not only paedophiles, but some of them are murderers. I imagine these people will use guys, people like Jeffrey Epstein to guarantee that they can satisfy some of the worst impulses that they have in a discreet way. And he'll clean things up. He's the fixer. He's whatever. He'll hide their money. He'll procure them. Young girls, he has some, he's a monster. He has no morality. He's completely evil.

1:04:11 That's his advantage. He's not a genius. He knows loopholes. But he is not a genius. He's not a tactician. He's evil. That's what the guy brings to the table. He's willing to destroy people's lives as long as he can get the people that he works for what they want, and he can get his beak wet in the process. But it's all to, say again, again casual.com. Again, you shouldn't draw any conclusions from the fact that Jeffrey Epstein was trying to back channel with the ex Prime Minister of Israel and Vladimir Putin to try to make money on the Syrian Civil War.

1:05:00 There's nothing to see there. There's absolutely nothing to see there. It has no effect on your life. And I, I know what your retorts gonna be. Well, it's actually my tax dollars and it's actually my kids that might end up fighting it. And it's actually the entire structure of the world. And it's actually, Hey, hey, hey. Shut up. I'm telling you this right now. Mind your business, like Mike Johnson said, it's sources and methods that need to be protected here, not children, sources and methods. Notice what Mike Johnson said.

1:05:37 It is sources and methods that need to be protected. But you know who Mike Johnson really wants to protect. He wants to protect you from the truth because he thinks you're scum. He thinks you're scum and they'd abduct your kids in five minutes and think nothing of it. So let's see what comes out and how it comes out. And you know, let's all, let's all hold our breath and wait for people to be exonerated or for this to get a whole hell of a lot worse. But I've just given you all some ammunition. If you go to Thanksgiving and people start popping off, you can pop off too.

1:06:19 It's your right as an American to say, Jeffrey Epstein was trying to make money off the Syrian Civil War. Mom, why do you think that was going on? Mom, Chuck Schumer's out there going, we wanna know all the Epstein fo you had four years. What are you, what are you doing? Nobody wants these things out. It's like Marjorie Taylor Greene and three other people want them out every, and now I know everybody's voting for now. 'cause they're all feel pressured to do it. Let's see them come out. Let's see what happens. Let's see what the fallout is.

1:06:56 But it's bigger than just the idea that Trump's got a few billionaire friends on there that he doesn't want to embarrass. He's either deeply implicated and and horrific things or, and by the way, very possibly, and this suggests this will open the door. This will open a portal to an entire world that most people don't know exists, and it will completely destroy their belief in any narrative they're fed ever again. Thanksgiving might be interesting. Goodnight.
