[00:00:00] Well, Cash Patel and Dan Bonino are
[00:00:03] finally going to give us answers that
[00:00:05] we've all been waiting for, folks.
[00:00:07] They're finally going to tell us all the
[00:00:09] hard truths. We'll also be going through
[00:00:12] the government's long history of running
[00:00:14] drugs all around the world and discuss
[00:00:16] Glenn Greenwald's leaked sex tape and
[00:00:19] who on earth might possibly want to
[00:00:21] blackmail and silence journalists.
[00:00:24] Welcome back to Candace.

[00:00:34] [Music]
[00:00:40] Right. Well, Dan Vonino and Cash Patel
[00:00:44] are finally getting around to
[00:00:45] investigating the heavy questions that
[00:00:48] we all want answers to. The American
[00:00:50] people spoke and they listened to
[00:00:53] absolutely no one. Because while the
[00:00:56] Epstein files are still rotting on Pam
[00:00:58] Bondi's desk, they've reopened the
[00:01:01] investigation. But not into who Epstein
[00:01:03] was working for, not into whether or not
[00:01:05] his trafficking network is still
[00:01:07] operational, not who he had blackmail on
[00:01:10] or what the acts of treason they may
[00:01:12] have committed on behalf of him or his
[00:01:13] employer were. No, they've reopened the
[00:01:17] investigation into the bag of cocaine
[00:01:19] that was found in the Joe Biden White
[00:01:21] House on July 2nd, 2023. Jesse Waters of
[00:01:25] Fox Prime Time foyed documents
[00:01:27] pertaining to the cocaine case and the
[00:01:30] details are not adding up. When the
[00:01:33] story broke back in 2023, we received
[00:01:35] this photo of the cocaine where it was
[00:01:38] allegedly found in a random storage
[00:01:40] cubby that just so happens to be in a
[00:01:42] camera blind spot where there's no
[00:01:45] surveillance footage of who might have
[00:01:46] left it there. How convenient. It's
[00:01:49] especially convenient because the day
[00:01:51] the story first broke, the cocaine was
[00:01:53] first found in the library. And then
[00:01:55] MSNBC reported that it was found near
[00:01:57] the situation room, but then it was
[00:01:59] finally revealed that they'd actually
[00:02:01] found it inside this random storage
[00:02:03] cubby where it was photographed and
[00:02:05] documented. But the documents that Jesse
[00:02:08] Waters obtained, strangely, had the
[00:02:11] location where it was found redacted.
[00:02:13] So, just to be clear, they told us where
[00:02:16] they found it inside the cubby. They
[00:02:18] photographed where they found it inside
[00:02:20] the cubby, but then they redacted it
[00:02:22] from the Foye documents because where it
[00:02:24] was found is classified. What a weird
[00:02:27] coincidence. Um, I'm sure it's just a
[00:02:29] mistake. And in fact, the wording in the
[00:02:32] documents reported on by Jesse Waters is
[00:02:34] actually feels like a juvenile coverup.
[00:02:37] It's almost like they want us looking at
[00:02:39] this. So, here here's Jesse Waters to
[00:02:41] help explain. When the cocaine was first
[00:02:44] found, they said it was in the library
[00:02:46] where the first family lives.
[00:02:49] We have a yellow bar stating cocaine,
[00:02:52] hydrochloride, very much found in the
[00:02:54] library. Then there were reports that
[00:02:57] the cocaine was actually found outside
[00:02:58] the situation room. Now, the
[00:03:01] investigation has progressed and so
[00:03:03] they're saying the west executive
[00:03:04] entrance, which as you noted is closer
[00:03:07] to the situation room. The Secret
[00:03:09] Service then said, "No, it was in a
[00:03:11] cubby with a lot of foot traffic around
[00:03:14] it." And yes, there are cameras, but
[00:03:15] that particular cubby was in a blind
[00:03:17] spot. How do you mistake the library for
[00:03:20] the situation room and the situation
[00:03:22] room for the cubbies? They told us they
[00:03:26] didn't find any
[00:03:27] DNA, but the
[00:03:30] documents say they did. Remember, the
[00:03:34] coke baggies been blown up. The Secret
[00:03:37] Service took the evidence from Quantico
[00:03:39] and they destroyed it. They didn't want
[00:03:41] the FBI to have it. But there's more
[00:03:44] evidence that they didn't destroy. An
[00:03:47] envelope with three tubes of
[00:03:49] DNA. Where did they get the DNA from?
[00:03:53] They got the DNA off the baggie. So, the
[00:03:56] Secret Service lied and so did the White
[00:03:59] House. They did find DNA on the baggie
[00:04:03] and the DNA was processed and has been
[00:04:05] moved to an evidence vault for
[00:04:08] preservation.
[00:04:11] Well, President Trump has the best take
[00:04:15] on the whole situation. He just straight
[00:04:18] up said it when he was asked who the
[00:04:19] baggie belonged to. He just said, "Well,
[00:04:21] it's either Joe or Hunter. Could be
[00:04:23] Joe." We got a clip of him. In my
[00:04:26] opinion, it's Hunter and probably Joe
[00:04:30] because, you know, you watch Joe at the
[00:04:31] beginning of his speech and he's got a
[00:04:33] little life. Not much, but he's got a
[00:04:34] little life. By the end of the speech,
[00:04:36] he's a disaster. He can't even find his
[00:04:38] way off the So, there's something going
[00:04:40] on there. And I wouldn't be surprised if
[00:04:42] it was for both of them. I think it's
[00:04:44] for both of them. But that's my opinion,
[00:04:47] man. Every time I look at old clips of
[00:04:48] Joe Biden, I feel like we have to do a
[00:04:51] dig into the whole CIA mask rabbit hole,
[00:04:54] but that's another day. Um, about the
[00:04:57] cocaine, we obviously all know that
[00:05:00] Hunter had a serious problem with the
[00:05:02] pow-wow pow. And just a quick reminder
[00:05:05] that if you want to know about some of
[00:05:07] Hunter's various escapades while
[00:05:09] outnosed skiing on the taxpayers's dime,
[00:05:11] you can see the content of his laptop at
[00:05:15] bidlaptopmedia.com. Or at least you
[00:05:17] could. Um, and then I was going back to
[00:05:20] grab some screenshots for this episode
[00:05:21] and noticed that it won't load anymore.
[00:05:24] the site is down and you have to go to
[00:05:26] archive.org. It turns out that the site
[00:05:29] went down somewhere in January of this
[00:05:32] year. Who
[00:05:34] knows? Maybe just a
[00:05:36] coincidence. So, now we'll come back to
[00:05:39] the White House's affinity for hard
[00:05:41] drugs in just a moment, but I want to
[00:05:42] take a quick detour for some of my
[00:05:44] favorite Biden family tinfoil that I
[00:05:47] don't hear discussed nearly enough
[00:05:49] because Joe Biden is a lifelong career
[00:05:52] politician that showed some real
[00:05:53] promise. And by promise, I mean that he
[00:05:56] wasn't very bright, even before he was
[00:05:58] scenile. And he was the kind of puppet
[00:06:00] that the deep state could take all the
[00:06:02] way to the White House, which they did,
[00:06:04] obviously. but his family has all the
[00:06:07] hallmarks is really the textbook case of
[00:06:10] being blackmailed. And I hate to kick a
[00:06:12] dead horse, but it looks to me like the
[00:06:14] Biden family may have had some Israeli
[00:06:17] handlers swimming in its midst. Keyword
[00:06:19] here is may. This thread that we're
[00:06:21] about to weave is mostly just
[00:06:23] speculation. Probably all officially
[00:06:26] misinformation, but it's fun. And at
[00:06:29] least for now, fun is still legal on the
[00:06:31] internet. So sue me. We're gonna do it.
[00:06:35] Because if you remember, Joe Biden had a
[00:06:38] non- loser, non-drugaddicted son, Bo
[00:06:41] Biden, eldest son from Joe's previous
[00:06:43] marriage to Naia Biden, who tragically
[00:06:46] died just 6 weeks after Biden was
[00:06:48] elected to the Senate. Now, we're not
[00:06:50] going to go into the sacrificing a loved
[00:06:52] one conspiracy theory that Kanye has
[00:06:55] spoken openly about in the past, or at
[00:06:57] least not right now, because Bo Biden
[00:07:00] overcame this terrible tragedy, losing
[00:07:02] his mother and baby sister, and went on
[00:07:04] to show extreme promise, and he was the
[00:07:07] 44th attorney general of Delaware when
[00:07:09] he died suddenly and tragically of
[00:07:11] glyobblastoma. Who knows how far his
[00:07:13] political career might have gone. and
[00:07:15] his grieving wife, Hi Olivier Biden,
[00:07:18] then did what all grieving wives do and
[00:07:21] promptly started sleeping with her dead
[00:07:23] husband's brother, who was also nursing
[00:07:26] a presumably new and budding crack
[00:07:29] addiction. And yes, now we have
[00:07:32] headlines that read Bo and Hunter
[00:07:34] Biden's shared
[00:07:37] ex. Awkward. So, let's break this down.
[00:07:42] Hunter Biden, who was married and had
[00:07:44] kids, started sleeping with his dead
[00:07:47] brother's widow when they both have
[00:07:49] kids, when they've watched each other's
[00:07:51] kids grow up. Hunter hasn't even
[00:07:54] finalized his divorce with his own wife
[00:07:56] yet. And he starts sleeping with his
[00:07:57] sister-in-law. And yeah, he's grieving
[00:08:00] and lonely and clearly going through a
[00:08:02] rough patch. Plus, once he starts
[00:08:05] smoking crack, we we kind of all know
[00:08:07] that crackheads will basically do
[00:08:08] anything for a rush. But Harie,
[00:08:11] presumably an upstanding Jewish mother,
[00:08:13] thinks, "Oh, look, a crackhead. My
[00:08:17] crackhead brother-in-law. That's exactly
[00:08:19] the kind of man that I want to sleep
[00:08:21] with in order to get over my husband's
[00:08:23] death." Now, I know it's a stretch, but
[00:08:26] while we're here, just consider a
[00:08:29] potential scenario.
[00:08:31] If Halley Biden were a handler or an
[00:08:34] intelligence asset placed into the Biden
[00:08:37] family to target the eldest and most
[00:08:39] promising son of the Biden family, this
[00:08:42] might explain why she would do something
[00:08:44] so depraved. If you had just had your
[00:08:48] incredibly fortuitous placement inside
[00:08:50] the Biden family ruined by some random
[00:08:53] cancer, that would be an incredibly
[00:08:55] delicate position to have been able to
[00:08:57] achieve in the first place. You don't
[00:08:59] want to just throw out all of that hard
[00:09:01] work. But hey, you could always get with
[00:09:03] the crackhead. Maybe that'll keep you
[00:09:05] involved in the family. Now, obviously,
[00:09:08] this didn't go over too well. And once
[00:09:10] the country caught on to the story, it
[00:09:12] kind of blew up into a huge scandal. No
[00:09:14] matter how much cover the media tried to
[00:09:17] run for them. Plus, at the time, Hunter
[00:09:20] is gallivanting all around the world,
[00:09:22] banging hookers on camera, smoking crack
[00:09:24] on camera. There are some truly
[00:09:26] disturbing photos and videos in these
[00:09:28] archives. But perhaps most disturbing,
[00:09:31] what I think is most disturbing,
[00:09:33] Hunter's entire camera roll is archived.
[00:09:35] And all throughout it, it's pretty
[00:09:37] obvious that he has duplicated a number
[00:09:40] of photos over and over again. You can
[00:09:42] see when this happens in a camera roll.
[00:09:44] I do this frequently when I'm making
[00:09:46] videos, and you'll see the same blocks
[00:09:47] of identical photos recur in different
[00:09:49] places all throughout the camera roll.
[00:09:52] Hunter Biden repeatedly duplicated
[00:09:54] photos of his child niece in her
[00:09:56] swimsuit. Sometimes with her underage
[00:09:59] girlfriends in swimsuits, too. Now,
[00:10:02] let's just say that there's only one
[00:10:05] reason that I can think of why Hunter
[00:10:07] would be repeatedly duplicating those
[00:10:10] sorts of photos specifically all
[00:10:12] throughout his camera roll. There are
[00:10:14] also a number of very sexual photos that
[00:10:17] she apparently shared with him. It's all
[00:10:19] really disgusting. And I'm not going to
[00:10:21] show any of the images here, obviously.
[00:10:23] Um, if you want to go further down the
[00:10:25] Biden family sexual abuse of children
[00:10:27] rabbit hole, you can look up Ashley
[00:10:29] Biden's diary, videos of Joe sniffing
[00:10:32] kids, and look into the laptop for
[00:10:33] yourself. It's totally gross. But we're
[00:10:37] getting sidetracked from the sidetrack,
[00:10:39] so let's get back on course. Howie, the
[00:10:42] widow of Bo Biden, is sleeping with
[00:10:44] crackhead Hunter. And that goes on for
[00:10:46] three years until 2019 when the scandal
[00:10:49] is just a little too scandalous. And so
[00:10:50] then out of the blue, Hunter Biden meets
[00:10:53] this other lovely younger Jewish woman
[00:10:56] named Melissa Cohen. Melissa Cohen looks
[00:10:59] like this. She's a beautiful young
[00:11:02] blonde filmmaker from South Africa. And
[00:11:04] she sees this crackhead with no teeth
[00:11:06] and thinks, "That's my guy. That's the
[00:11:09] dude I've been waiting all my life to
[00:11:11] sweep me off my feet." In fact, they
[00:11:14] fall so madly in love that they get
[00:11:17] married, get matching shalom tattoos,
[00:11:19] and in less than a week, they get
[00:11:21] pregnant more or less immediately. Their
[00:11:24] son is born about 10 months after they
[00:11:26] meet. Now, obviously, this is
[00:11:29] speculation. There is no proof or
[00:11:30] evidence of these connections that I'm
[00:11:32] drawing, and it is entirely possible
[00:11:34] that I am wrong, and Melissa Cohen
[00:11:35] really does just love 50-year-old
[00:11:37] crackheads who are fresh out of
[00:11:38] relationships with their sister-in-laws.
[00:11:41] But here you have a family like the
[00:11:43] Kennedy family that is objectively a
[00:11:46] prime target for any and every
[00:11:48] intelligence agency out there. We know
[00:11:50] for a fact that Hunter was collecting
[00:11:52] massive amounts of blackmail files on
[00:11:54] himself at the request of someone. He
[00:11:57] says as much in some of the videos on
[00:11:58] the laptop, though he never specifies
[00:12:00] who exactly is coercing him into filming
[00:12:02] and photographing all this behavior,
[00:12:04] it's pretty clear that he's not just
[00:12:06] doing it all for the funsies. Hunter
[00:12:09] allegedly had three or four laptops of
[00:12:11] blackmail material collected and he
[00:12:12] speaks about this in some of those
[00:12:14] videos, but he just happened to drop
[00:12:16] this one off and forget about it at some
[00:12:17] random repair shop, which to me almost
[00:12:20] sounds like a cry for help or some sort
[00:12:22] of attempt to get out from under the
[00:12:24] thumb of his black mailers, but who
[00:12:26] really knows? Beyond the laptops though,
[00:12:29] we have two different Jewish women in
[00:12:30] the Biden family, both acting in very
[00:12:33] suspicious ways. First, Harley, who
[00:12:35] seems desperate to maintain a position
[00:12:37] in the family and is willing to sleep
[00:12:39] with her crackhead brother-in-law to do
[00:12:41] so. Who knows what role she may have
[00:12:43] played in his addiction or the
[00:12:45] blackmail, but then Melissa Cohen picks
[00:12:47] up right where Hi left off and locks our
[00:12:49] boy Hunter down the moment that Halley
[00:12:51] has to step out of the picture. I mean,
[00:12:54] when you look at an aging man like Joe
[00:12:56] Biden in the 2010s, a man at the end of
[00:12:58] his career, what do you think would be
[00:13:01] the most effective way to control a man
[00:13:03] like that? his last living son, his
[00:13:06] grandkids. Lord knows what they might
[00:13:08] have on Hunter beyond what has already
[00:13:10] come out. Do you think they could have
[00:13:12] videos of Hunter raping a child when he
[00:13:14] was blacked out on a cocaine bender?
[00:13:16] Because based on Hunter's own testimony
[00:13:19] and what we see on the laptop, that
[00:13:21] would have been the easiest operation
[00:13:22] you could have ever pulled. It would
[00:13:24] have taken zero skill. You could have
[00:13:26] literally just found him halfway through
[00:13:27] a bender and told him you had more drugs
[00:13:29] and girls back at your place and Bob's
[00:13:31] your uncle.
[00:13:32] It's entirely within the realm of
[00:13:34] possibility, even probability, that
[00:13:36] someone has the kind of blackmail on
[00:13:38] Hunter that could lock him away in
[00:13:39] prison for a long time. We know that
[00:13:42] Israel has targeted the president of the
[00:13:43] United States before, like when Jeffrey
[00:13:45] Epstein visited the Clinton White House
[00:13:48] 17 times. Now, look at Joe Biden's
[00:13:51] presidency. Do we see any evidence at
[00:13:54] all that he was being controlled? Is it
[00:13:57] remotely possible that perhaps he was
[00:14:00] taking orders from someone who had
[00:14:02] powerful blackmail over him or his last
[00:14:04] living
[00:14:05] son? No. Nah. Nah. That'd be crazy,
[00:14:09] dude. That'd be crazy. I'm sure it's all
[00:14:12] just
[00:14:13] coincidences. But anyways, I just I had
[00:14:15] to go down that side quest cuz I think
[00:14:17] it's hilarious and kind of fun. It's
[00:14:18] also super tragic. But we were talking
[00:14:21] about the cocaine that was found in the
[00:14:22] White House. And I thought now would be
[00:14:24] a great time to remind us all that the
[00:14:26] White House, or more particularly the
[00:14:29] deep state, has always had quite a thing
[00:14:31] for narcotics. But before we do that,
[00:14:35] let's take a quick break from all the
[00:14:36] seriousness for a couple words from our
[00:14:38] sponsors. I want to take a moment to
[00:14:40] tell you about Take Lean. You're going
[00:14:42] to think I'm talking about weight loss
[00:14:44] injections, but I'm not. These
[00:14:46] remarkable weight loss testimonials came
[00:14:47] from a doctor formulated weight loss
[00:14:49] supplement called Lean. Patty S said, "I
[00:14:52] finally found a weight loss product that
[00:14:54] works. I wanted to lose 20 pounds and
[00:14:56] lean really curves my appetite." Lori M
[00:14:58] wrote, "I've struggled to get weight off
[00:15:00] and lean has been a lifesaver. I've been
[00:15:02] losing a couple pounds a week or more."
[00:15:04] And Kelly F said, "Amazing. I
[00:15:06] immediately noticed an energy boost and
[00:15:08] a healthy weight loss. I would promote
[00:15:09] this product to anyone. Lean was created
[00:15:12] by a doctor and university researcher to
[00:15:14] target the goals of GLP1s, but without
[00:15:16] the injections. The studied ingredients
[00:15:18] in lean have been shown to lower blood
[00:15:21] sugar, radically reduce appetite, and
[00:15:23] burn fat by converting it into energy.
[00:15:25] If you're struggling to lose weight, and
[00:15:27] healthy diet and exercise isn't enough,

[00:16:58] the American government and governments
[00:17:00] all around the world have a long history
[00:17:02] of being involved in the drug
[00:17:05] trafficking industries. And there's many
[00:17:07] examples, too many to go over all of
[00:17:08] them, but we're going to speedrun some
[00:17:10] of the spiciest. Starting with these.
[00:17:14] These are documents detailing how George
[00:17:16] HW Bush worked with Richard Helms, then
[00:17:19] the director of the CIA, and others to
[00:17:21] smuggle heroin in the Golden Triangle
[00:17:23] during the Vietnam War. They alleged
[00:17:25] that not only were they running the
[00:17:27] world's largest heroin smuggling
[00:17:28] operation abroad at the time, but that
[00:17:30] they were making a lot more of their
[00:17:32] money by selling the smack directly to
[00:17:34] American soldiers fighting in Vietnam.
[00:17:37] There's a whole crazy rabbit hole around
[00:17:39] this document and another trove of
[00:17:40] records about CIA blackbudget bank
[00:17:42] accounts and drug smuggling and the
[00:17:44] castration of a Central American
[00:17:45] dictator. But we'll do that full dig
[00:17:48] another day because then there's the
[00:17:50] time when the CIA took over the
[00:17:52] smuggling operations of Latin American
[00:17:54] cartels and started flying cargo planes
[00:17:56] of cocaine into Mina, Arkansas. Gary
[00:17:59] Webb famously uncovered and reported on
[00:18:01] how this CIA operation was
[00:18:02] single-handedly responsible for starting
[00:18:04] and fueling the entire crack cocaine
[00:18:07] epidemic in American black communities
[00:18:09] in the 80s and '90s. Webb famously
[00:18:11] committed suicide by shooting himself in
[00:18:14] the head twice. And when people said
[00:18:16] that sounded kind of suspicious, the CIA
[00:18:19] was sure to investigate themselves and
[00:18:21] found that they had had nothing to do
[00:18:23] with either his death or any drug
[00:18:26] trafficking. So case closed. Then more
[00:18:30] recently you have Afghanistan. And I
[00:18:32] want to dig into Afghanistan in a little
[00:18:34] more depth because it's recent, it's
[00:18:35] instructive, and I think it might make a
[00:18:37] shift in the nature of global drug
[00:18:39] trafficking right now. But first, let's
[00:18:42] start way back in the 1800s with the
[00:18:44] British Empire because this is some
[00:18:47] history I don't think enough people know
[00:18:48] about. So, as the British Empire
[00:18:50] expanded around the globe, mostly on the
[00:18:53] back of the world's first true
[00:18:55] international mega corporation, the East
[00:18:56] India Trading Company, opium grew to be
[00:18:58] one of its largest revenue generators.
[00:19:01] They turned India into a giant poppy
[00:19:04] farm, and most of the opium grown in
[00:19:06] India was shipped to China, which was
[00:19:08] conveniently just downwind from India.
[00:19:11] India detested it. China was destroyed
[00:19:14] by it, and Great Britain
[00:19:16] radar wealth from it. In 1880, the UK
[00:19:20] Parliament debated the history of their
[00:19:21] opium trade. And contained in that
[00:19:23] examination are some wild
[00:19:25] details. According to the UK Parliament,
[00:19:28] the percentage of Indian revenue from
[00:19:30] opium ballooned up to nearly
[00:19:33] 17%. From a single crop. That's insane.
[00:19:37] I can't find any clear figures as to how
[00:19:39] much revenue the British Empire was
[00:19:41] bringing in from this trade, but it's
[00:19:43] safe to say that it was a lot. like
[00:19:47] their quality of life significantly
[00:19:50] depended on opium trafficking. China for
[00:19:53] obvious reasons was not too stoked that
[00:19:56] all their people especially their men
[00:19:57] were getting addicted to opium and their
[00:19:59] civilization was buckling under the
[00:20:01] weight of that addiction. So they
[00:20:03] outlawed the use and trade of opium and
[00:20:06] seized a bunch of opium mostly owned by
[00:20:08] British traders. Britain, however, was
[00:20:11] not about it and they went to war with
[00:20:13] China over it and eventually won. When
[00:20:15] they did, they forced China to legalize
[00:20:18] opium once again and to continue to
[00:20:20] accept British opium imports. Then in
[00:20:23] 1856, the Chinese government seized a
[00:20:25] pirate smuggling ship laden with opium
[00:20:28] named the Arrow. If you read the
[00:20:30] Wikipedia, it claims that this was an
[00:20:32] official British merchant ship. But in
[00:20:34] the records from Parliament recorded in
[00:20:35] 1880, you read this quote, "The Second
[00:20:39] War arose out of the smuggling of opium.
[00:20:42] The Chinese seized the Lucha Arrow, a
[00:20:44] vessel of the pirate class that was
[00:20:46] engaged in smuggling. It was distinctly
[00:20:48] proved that she was not under the
[00:20:49] protection of the British flag at the
[00:20:51] time she was seized. But we nevertheless
[00:20:54] went to war with China and destroyed her
[00:20:56] ships, her people, and her buildings as
[00:20:58] usual."
[00:21:00] So nevertheless, Britain again was not
[00:21:03] having it and went to war with China.
[00:21:05] This time the French got involved as did
[00:21:07] the other European empires and the new
[00:21:10] American colonies because they had all
[00:21:11] gotten in on the opium trade by now as
[00:21:13] well. China was once again defeated and
[00:21:16] the opium trade continued. At the time,
[00:21:19] Hong Kong was a British colony and it
[00:21:21] was developed largely on the profits of
[00:21:23] this opium trade. The well-known modern
[00:21:26] bank HSBC was founded specifically to
[00:21:29] manage the obscene profits generated by
[00:21:32] the opium trade. And to this day, they
[00:21:34] are still mired in moneyaundering and
[00:21:36] drug scandals. If you're not familiar,
[00:21:38] opium is derived from the opium poppy
[00:21:40] plant. And it's one of the oldest forms
[00:21:43] of refined opioid drugs. In the late
[00:21:46] 1800s, scientists discovered a new way
[00:21:48] to refine opium and heroin was invented.
[00:21:52] In 1898, Bear Yeah. the guys who make
[00:21:56] aspirin and now own
[00:21:57] Monsanto, Bear began pumping out heroin,
[00:22:00] like hot cakes. Like super good hot
[00:22:03] cakes. Like so good they'll put you to
[00:22:06] sleep hot cakes. Clinicians at the time
[00:22:09] reported that it was the perfect remedy
[00:22:11] for just about everything from
[00:22:12] tuberculosis to asthma, even bronchitis.
[00:22:16] You got a cough? Try heroin. What could
[00:22:19] go wrong? Physicians at the time even
[00:22:21] claimed that heroin was a great way to
[00:22:23] get over morphine
[00:22:24] addiction. Just wait until they figure
[00:22:26] out fentanyl. I mean, seriously. Oh no,
[00:22:29] we're addicted to opioids. What should
[00:22:31] we do? Have you tried
[00:22:34] heroin? So, obviously, they were
[00:22:36] Heroin is extremely addictive,
[00:22:38] quite capable of being lethal, and has
[00:22:40] ever since been one of the most
[00:22:41] destructive and profitable illegal drugs
[00:22:43] ever invented. So naturally, it was the
[00:22:46] perfect cash crop for the CIA to use to
[00:22:48] fund its growing list of black budget
[00:22:50] programs in the 60s and 70s. So in this
[00:22:54] FBI report written in 1989, it details
[00:22:57] how George HW Bush earned the nickname
[00:23:00] Poppy, not referring to
[00:23:03] dad, but to something
[00:23:06] else. Just a few quick excerpts from
[00:23:08] this report. We can do a whole another
[00:23:10] episode on this sometime. This is about
[00:23:12] the people that were in charge of the
[00:23:14] operation. Four of the five were
[00:23:16] handpicked for their very special
[00:23:18] abilities and expertise. The fifth
[00:23:20] member of the group, Armatage, was
[00:23:21] brought along by George Bush as his
[00:23:23] personal gopher. Bush was chosen for his
[00:23:26] knowledge of China and his wartime
[00:23:28] flying ability, as well as being on the
[00:23:30] way up within the CIA, although this is
[00:23:32] before he was ever officially involved
[00:23:34] in the CIA. So, lies. And then I'm just
[00:23:37] going to skip down all the way to the
[00:23:39] bottom. The five names were submitted to
[00:23:41] the godfather of the CIA, John Foster
[00:23:44] Dulles, who gave the plan his total
[00:23:46] blessing. It goes on to say, "The master
[00:23:49] plan called for the CIA to enter into
[00:23:51] the drug smuggling business in a total
[00:23:53] and complete fashion. Each of the five
[00:23:55] planners would have his own field to
[00:23:57] handle. Bush would be the secret head of
[00:24:00] OA and handle all the shipping of the
[00:24:02] drugs under forged way bills. Armatage
[00:24:04] would be the gopher for the group and
[00:24:06] the intermediary with any undesirabs.
[00:24:09] General Landdale would handle all the
[00:24:10] distribution networks and collection
[00:24:12] services within the military in Vietnam.
[00:24:14] William Kby was to handle the setting up
[00:24:16] of all the manpower from runners,
[00:24:18] pedlers, pushers, collectors, and so
[00:24:20] forth, as well as the elimination of any
[00:24:21] who might prove to be uncontrollable, be
[00:24:23] they American or Vietnamese. Lieutenant
[00:24:25] Colonel Fetta was there to was to use
[00:24:28] his contacts in Latin America and in the
[00:24:30] Middle East to obtain from various
[00:24:31] governments the needed drugs, heroin,
[00:24:34] cocaine, marijuana, LSD, etc., etc., as
[00:24:37] ordered by Colby. Bush was to handle the
[00:24:39] opium from
[00:24:40] China. It also has this crazy section
[00:24:44] near the end about the time when this
[00:24:46] one spy, General Federa, that we just
[00:24:47] heard about, snuck into Manuel Noriega's
[00:24:50] mansion in Panama, ambushed him, tied
[00:24:52] him up, cut off his testicles, and
[00:24:54] shoved them in his mouth to prove a
[00:24:56] point. It's a crazy story. We could do a
[00:24:58] whole episode, and maybe someday we
[00:25:00] will. But this report specifically
[00:25:04] details how this top secret program run
[00:25:06] by Bush and Helms smuggled heroin to US
[00:25:09] servicemen in Vietnam and then funneled
[00:25:11] the cash into secret CIA bank accounts
[00:25:13] that would be used to fund topsecret
[00:25:14] black budget programs all around the
[00:25:16] world. A junior member of this plot,
[00:25:18] William Casey, would later go on to be
[00:25:20] the architect of the cocaine smuggling
[00:25:22] operations exposed in the Iran Contra
[00:25:24] scandal during the 1980s. Same story.
[00:25:26] The CIA was smuggling cocaine into
[00:25:28] America and using the profits to fund an
[00:25:30] illegal proxy war which Congress had
[00:25:32] explicitly told them not to finance.
[00:25:35] Interesting that they happened to use a
[00:25:37] quiet little airport in the state where
[00:25:39] Bill Clinton was governor at the time.
[00:25:41] Bill Clinton's brother was nursing a 4 g
[00:25:44] of cocaine a day habit around this time.
[00:25:46] He was later charged with cocaine
[00:25:48] possession and trafficking, but Bill
[00:25:50] made sure to pardon him in 2001, just
[00:25:53] before he left office. And then speaking
[00:25:55] of
[00:25:56] 2001, in 2001, a ragtag group of 19 Arab
[00:26:00] terrorists with absolutely zero CIA or
[00:26:02] MSAD protection decided to nearly fail
[00:26:05] basic flight school and then hijack a
[00:26:07] bunch of passenger planes and then fly
[00:26:09] them into the Twin Towers and also the
[00:26:11] secret room in the Pentagon responsible
[00:26:12] for Rumsfeld's little budget error of
[00:26:14] more than $2 trillion. But don't worry,
[00:26:16] Rumsfeld wasn't even there at the time.
[00:26:18] Though he did pass a memo that day
[00:26:20] asking his people to determine whether
[00:26:22] the attack was good enough to hit Saddam
[00:26:24] Hussein despite the fact that Iraq had
[00:26:26] nothing to do with any of it. And in all
[00:26:28] the madness, Building 7 decided it was
[00:26:30] tired and controlled demolitioned
[00:26:32] itself. And although jet fuel apparently
[00:26:34] melts steel beams and pulverizes an
[00:26:35] entire tower's worth of concrete into a
[00:26:37] fine dust, it does not in fact have much
[00:26:39] of an effect on passports which flutter
[00:26:42] down to the sidewalks of New York
[00:26:44] unscathed so they would be conveniently
[00:26:45] found within hours of the attack.
[00:26:47] Authorities hardly needed them though
[00:26:49] because Muhammad Ada, leader of the
[00:26:51] hijackers, had thought it prudent to
[00:26:52] leave a briefcase full of his plans with
[00:26:54] names and photos of all the hijackers in
[00:26:57] the airport where he took off just for
[00:26:59] posterity's sake, obviously. So within a
[00:27:02] few days, we were zeroed in on al-Qaeda
[00:27:04] and therefore Afghanistan, who was
[00:27:05] allegedly harboring the most evil man in
[00:27:07] the world, Osama bin Laden. Osama bin
[00:27:11] Laden wrote a letter later to the
[00:27:13] American people that recently went viral
[00:27:15] all over Tik Tok because Gen Z suddenly
[00:27:17] realized that he was making more sense
[00:27:19] than our own politicians. As soon as it
[00:27:22] went viral, it was pulled down from the
[00:27:23] Guardian which where it had been hosted
[00:27:25] for years and then an internetwide
[00:27:27] censorship campaign was launched. In it
[00:27:30] were passages like this. The course of
[00:27:33] the policies of the present
[00:27:34] administration in several areas clearly
[00:27:36] reveals that whoever enters the White
[00:27:38] House, even with good intentions to
[00:27:39] safeguard the people's interest, is no
[00:27:41] more than a train operator. His only
[00:27:43] task is to keep the train on the tracks
[00:27:45] that are laid down by the lobbyists in
[00:27:46] New York and Washington to serve their
[00:27:48] interests first. Even if it is counter
[00:27:50] to your security and economy, any
[00:27:52] president who tries to move the train
[00:27:53] from the lobbyist tracks or to track for
[00:27:56] the American people's interest will
[00:27:57] confront very strong opposition and
[00:27:59] pressure from the lobbyists. Your
[00:28:00] president described the decision by the
[00:28:02] court in favor of corporations to
[00:28:03] intervene in the political arena as a
[00:28:05] victory. But it is not a victory for the
[00:28:07] American people except for the big
[00:28:09] corporations. There is no doubt about it
[00:28:11] that it is a right and it is also a
[00:28:14] right for the administration to support
[00:28:15] the oppressive Israelis for the
[00:28:17] continued occupation of our land and the
[00:28:19] killing of our brothers, marking a
[00:28:20] victory for the Jewish lobby. The
[00:28:21] president was not able to defend you
[00:28:23] against the security and economic loss.
[00:28:25] The way for change and freeing
[00:28:26] yourselves from the pressure of
[00:28:27] lobbyists is not through the Republican
[00:28:29] or the Democratic parties, but through
[00:28:30] the undertaking of you get the point.
[00:28:32] And although bro makes some pretty good
[00:28:34] points, let me just be clear that I do
[00:28:36] not condone or endorse terrorism or
[00:28:38] Osama bin Laden, he did some pretty evil
[00:28:40] in his time and maybe not as much as
[00:28:43] Donald Rumsfeld or Dick Cheney, but
[00:28:45] anyways, Afghanistan was a big problem
[00:28:48] in 2001. Like really big. Even before
[00:28:52] building 7 decided it wanted in on Larry
[00:28:54] Silverstein's particularly extensive
[00:28:56] insurance policy, Afghanistan was a
[00:28:58] problem because for quite some time it
[00:29:01] had produced the lion's share of the
[00:29:02] world's opium and heroin supply. At
[00:29:04] least it did until the Taliban moved in
[00:29:07] and took over in 2000 and outlawed the
[00:29:10] production of the drug. Global drug
[00:29:12] markets cratered. Then conveniently, the
[00:29:16] very next year, the country was overrun
[00:29:18] by US Marines that promptly were ordered
[00:29:20] to help rebuild the country by guarding
[00:29:22] newly planted opium fields. By 2002,
[00:29:26] opium production was back. And in 2004,
[00:29:29] it was reaching new heights. Heroin and
[00:29:31] opium production continued to rise from
[00:29:33] there until it peaked at record highs in
[00:29:35] 2017 before leveling off. Then in 2022,
[00:29:39] Joe Biden ordered a sudden and chaotic
[00:29:41] withdrawal, an absolute national
[00:29:43] embarrassment and a crime against both
[00:29:45] the Afghan and American people who had
[00:29:47] fought for two decades in a meaningless
[00:29:49] and pointless conflict that cost
[00:29:51] thousands of Americans and millions of
[00:29:53] Afghani lives. And then conveniently, US
[00:29:57] troops were ordered to leave all their
[00:29:58] military equipment there for the Taliban
[00:30:00] to seize. Almost like the US government
[00:30:02] was intentionally arming terrorists.
[00:30:05] Now, where have I read about that
[00:30:08] before? The very next year, after the
[00:30:10] Taliban took control of Afghanistan,
[00:30:12] opium production cratered back down to
[00:30:15] record lows and has remained there ever
[00:30:17] since. It's almost like the US
[00:30:19] government has given up on its
[00:30:21] long-standing tradition of overseeing
[00:30:22] global heroin trafficking. But let's
[00:30:25] rewind and talk about the opioid
[00:30:27] epidemic for a moment because in it, I
[00:30:29] think we will find the likely reason for
[00:30:31] this apparent change of course. The
[00:30:34] opioid epidemic, often considered to
[00:30:36] have begun in the early 2000s, one might
[00:30:39] even suggest in 2001, has cost more than
[00:30:42] half a million American lives and well
[00:30:44] over a trillion dollars. It was driven
[00:30:46] first into middle America by the
[00:30:48] overprescription of new opioid
[00:30:50] medications like Oxycottton, which were
[00:30:52] marketed to doctors as a new and
[00:30:54] non-addictive pain medication. It was
[00:30:56] prescribed to kids on the football team
[00:30:58] who got injured to moms and dads after
[00:31:00] surgery or for just about anything else
[00:31:02] doctors could dream up because it was
[00:31:04] later reported that doctors were
[00:31:06] receiving kickbacks for prescribing it.
[00:31:08] Well, not technically kickbacks, but it
[00:31:12] just turned out that on average across
[00:31:14] wide studies, doctors who prescribed
[00:31:16] more opioids just happened to be getting
[00:31:18] paid more money by big pharma. Just pure
[00:31:22] coincidence, I'm sure. Purdue Pharma,
[00:31:24] owned by the Sackler family, also gave
[00:31:27] real kickbacks, meaning straight up
[00:31:29] bribes, to the company that makes one of
[00:31:30] the most widely used doctor prescribing
[00:31:32] portals, so that when doctors would use
[00:31:34] their computer and the doctor's office
[00:31:36] to prescribe you drugs, it would give
[00:31:37] pop-ups encouraging them to prescribe
[00:31:39] Purdue Pharma's opioids. These and other
[00:31:42] practices led to an absolutely insane
[00:31:45] amount of opioids flowing out into
[00:31:47] everyday American households over the
[00:31:48] last 20 years. In 2016, there were
[00:31:52] 323 million people living in America.
[00:31:54] And doctors wrote 215 million
[00:31:57] prescriptions for opioids. That is one
[00:32:00] prescription for two out of every three
[00:32:02] men, women, and children and babies in
[00:32:06] the United States. Because prescriptions
[00:32:08] are often written to the same person
[00:32:10] multiple times a year, that turned out
[00:32:11] to be nearly 20% of the population
[00:32:13] receiving opioid prescriptions that
[00:32:15] year. In the median US county,
[00:32:18] physicians prescribed an amount of
[00:32:19] opioids in 2015 equivalent to a nearly
[00:32:23] two week supply of oxycodone for every
[00:32:26] resident, man, woman, and child. And for
[00:32:30] far too many of these Americans, that
[00:32:32] first prescription turned into an
[00:32:33] addiction. And when eventually
[00:32:35] prescription opioids are too hard to
[00:32:36] come by or too expensive, they turn to
[00:32:39] heroin and other street drugs. This
[00:32:42] devastated my generation. Nearly every
[00:32:44] single person from my generation lost
[00:32:46] friends in high school and college to
[00:32:47] this tragedy. Regular kids, the star of
[00:32:50] the football team, the class clown,
[00:32:52] honor students who all of a sudden
[00:32:54] dropped off the map, disappeared to out
[00:32:56] of state rehab, or died of overdoses.
[00:32:59] The tragedy of the opiate epidemic is
[00:33:01] hard to overstate and was made all the
[00:33:04] more tragic because it was being
[00:33:05] prescribed by doctors to otherwise
[00:33:07] successful and average people. not to
[00:33:09] drug addicts, not to dropouts, not as a
[00:33:12] last step down a long descent into
[00:33:14] degeneracy. The doctor's office itself
[00:33:17] became the gateway to the destruction of
[00:33:19] families and of lives. And during this
[00:33:22] time, Afghanistan was by far and away
[00:33:25] the leading global supplier of the opium
[00:33:28] used to make these drugs. We waged a war
[00:33:31] for 20 years to subsidize and protect
[00:33:34] these profits. American soldiers guarded
[00:33:37] these poppy fields while the opium
[00:33:39] derived from them was shipped home to
[00:33:42] addict and kill their own friends and
[00:33:44] family members. But then something
[00:33:47] changed around 2015. Fentinel started to
[00:33:51] flood the market and began turning up in
[00:33:53] samples of other street drugs like
[00:33:55] ecstasy and cocaine. You can see here
[00:33:57] the purple line is other synthetic
[00:34:00] opioids skyrockets. And meanwhile, the
[00:34:03] orange line heroin levels off and starts
[00:34:06] to decline slightly. Fentinyl is a
[00:34:09] synthetic opioid that is made in a
[00:34:11] laboratory without the need to fight a
[00:34:12] war to secure millions of hectares of
[00:34:14] poppy production. It's also up to 100
[00:34:17] times more potent than heroin and 10,000
[00:34:19] times more potent than morphine. These
[00:34:22] images depict a lethal dose of fentanyl,
[00:34:24] which can be as small as a few grains of
[00:34:26] sand. You can see the size of a lethal
[00:34:28] dose of heroin compared to a lethal dose
[00:34:30] of fentanyl. So now this stuff is being
[00:34:33] mixed into other street drugs to make
[00:34:35] them feel more potent and kids are dying
[00:34:37] from overdoses when they think they're
[00:34:39] taking something else that is at least
[00:34:40] in the grand scheme of things relatively
[00:34:43] harmless. How strange though that we are
[00:34:46] no longer interested in Afghanistan and
[00:34:48] their poppy fields right as the heroin
[00:34:50] market is cracked open by this new
[00:34:52] synthetic opioid that makes poppy
[00:34:54] cultivation essentially
[00:34:56] obsolete. Must just be a coincidence,
[00:34:58] huh? Sort of like that one time back in
[00:35:01] 2019 when a cargo ship owned by JP
[00:35:04] Morgan Chase was seized with 20 tons of
[00:35:06] cocaine on board. The estimated street
[00:35:08] value of this shipment was over a
[00:35:10] billion dollars. It was the largest
[00:35:11] vessel ever seized in Border Patrol
[00:35:13] history. And so you might say, "Huh, our
[00:35:17] federal government sure is taking this
[00:35:19] drug trafficking thing seriously." But
[00:35:22] you read more closely and you learn how
[00:35:25] the world really works. JP Morgan leased
[00:35:28] the boat to Mediterranean Shipping Co.,
[00:35:30] absolving JP Morgan of any liability for
[00:35:32] the boat's crew and cargo. Mediterranean
[00:35:35] Shipping Co. said, quote,
[00:35:36] "Unfortunately, shipping and logistics
[00:35:38] companies are from time to time affected
[00:35:40] by trafficking problems." Correct. It is
[00:35:44] a big problem when you get caught
[00:35:45] transporting more than a billion dollars
[00:35:47] of cocaine, but not so big of a problem
[00:35:49] that the corporation is going to be
[00:35:50] investigated at all. No. Instead, a few
[00:35:54] of the crew members were charged with
[00:35:55] cocaine trafficking charges, but
[00:35:57] obviously the ship and company could
[00:35:59] never have known that this was
[00:36:00] happening, so why even investigate them?
[00:36:03] JP Morgan obviously had nothing to do
[00:36:05] with it either. But then, you remember
[00:36:07] that one time when Jeffrey Epstein was
[00:36:09] referring billionaire and other
[00:36:11] influential clients to JP Morgan Chase
[00:36:12] for banking services and it turned into
[00:36:14] a whole scandal? I mean, why did the
[00:36:17] Obama White House counsel even know him,
[00:36:19] let alone talk to him? Because when you
[00:36:22] read a little deeper, you'll learn that
[00:36:24] she was referred to JP Morgan by Epstein
[00:36:26] in February of 2019, just 4 months
[00:36:30] before his arrest on federal child sex
[00:36:32] trafficking charges. 4 months. This
[00:36:35] referral came 6 years after JP Morgan
[00:36:38] claims that it cut all ties with Epstein
[00:36:40] because of repeated red flags on his
[00:36:42] account. All the big banks are dirty as
[00:36:45] heck. There are reports every year of
[00:36:48] banks being caught laundering money for
[00:36:49] the cartels and traffickers. But there
[00:36:51] are never reports of criminal
[00:36:53] investigations or any accountability.
[00:36:55] They just pay a few small fines here and
[00:36:57] there and keep doing business as normal
[00:36:59] because these people are not like you
[00:37:01] and me. They are the ownership class,
[00:37:03] the political class, and the banking
[00:37:05] class. We are raised to believe that we
[00:37:07] live in a just world, that our
[00:37:09] government are the good guys, and that
[00:37:11] those terrorists and drug cartels and
[00:37:13] criminals out there are the bad guys.
[00:37:15] But that couldn't be further from the
[00:37:16] truth. Why do you think you've heard of
[00:37:19] Colombian drug kingpins going to prison
[00:37:21] for cocaine trafficking, but no one ever
[00:37:23] even suggested doing the same to the
[00:37:25] director of the CIA when he was
[00:37:26] overseeing smuggling operations? Why do
[00:37:29] you think Obama's council was apparently
[00:37:32] pals with Jeffrey Epstein, but no one
[00:37:34] thought to look deeper into that
[00:37:35] connection? For the same reason why JP
[00:37:38] Morgan and Mediterranean Shipping Co.
[00:37:39] were not even investigated over the
[00:37:41] cocaine bust on their boat because they
[00:37:43] run the show. These people are the deep
[00:37:46] state. And when corruption has seeped
[00:37:48] this far into the American government,
[00:37:50] they're playing on friendly turf. The
[00:37:53] corporate government and intelligence
[00:37:55] agency playbook is designed in this
[00:37:57] exact way to create plausible
[00:37:59] deniability. When Barry Seal was
[00:38:01] bringing an entire military cargo plane
[00:38:03] of cocaine in and out of Mina, Arkansas
[00:38:05] every few weeks, no one's ever going to
[00:38:07] wind up looking at Bill Clinton to see
[00:38:09] whether or not it's possible that Barry
[00:38:11] was getting away with it because he had
[00:38:13] protection from and was working with
[00:38:15] corrupt people in our own government. No
[00:38:17] one's going to be able to prove that
[00:38:18] anyone at JP Morgan had any knowledge
[00:38:20] that their boats were being used to
[00:38:22] smuggle billions of dollars of cocaine.
[00:38:24] The executives at Universal Music had no
[00:38:26] way to know that their boy Diddy was
[00:38:28] allegedly running a trafficking and
[00:38:30] blackmail operation. Just might as well
[00:38:31] take their names off the lawsuits and
[00:38:33] not even look into them, despite the
[00:38:35] fact that they were allegedly funding
[00:38:37] and attending the parties. If the CIA
[00:38:40] wanted to shut down the global heroin
[00:38:42] supply at any time during the last two
[00:38:43] decades, they could have easily done so.
[00:38:46] After all, the entire global industry
[00:38:48] was reliant on American soldiers
[00:38:51] standing guard over the very poppy
[00:38:53] fields that supplied the traffickers and
[00:38:55] cartels. They know where the cocaine is
[00:38:58] coming from. They've been working with
[00:38:59] those guys for decades. They know who
[00:39:02] the human traffickers are. They're
[00:39:03] laundering their money for them. The DEA
[00:39:06] and Customs and Border Patrol don't
[00:39:08] exist to stop drugs or weapons or human
[00:39:10] trafficking, though that's what the
[00:39:12] agents who sign up for the job usually
[00:39:13] think. But the institutions at the
[00:39:16] highest level, they serve to protect the
[00:39:18] turf of this American deep state. If you
[00:39:20] don't have the protection of insiders,
[00:39:22] they'll catch you and throw you in
[00:39:23] prison. But if you run your drugs on JP
[00:39:26] Morgan boats in and out of friendly
[00:39:27] ports to and from deep state assets,
[00:39:30] well, how many boats like this one do
[00:39:32] you think brought their shipments in
[00:39:34] undetected before some uppy agents
[00:39:37] happened to step out of line and catch
[00:39:38] this boat? My bet is that it was a lot
[00:39:41] of
[00:39:42] them because whether it's cocaine or
[00:39:45] heroin or children, it's all the Truman
[00:39:47] Show. They let us go on believing that
[00:39:50] these things are illegal and carry a
[00:39:51] harsh prison sentence. But usually,
[00:39:53] they're just illegal for anyone else to
[00:39:55] cut into their profits and their
[00:39:57] lifestyle. Because as long as people in
[00:40:00] our government are doing drugs and
[00:40:01] raping kids on private islands, you dang
[00:40:03] well better believe they're protecting
[00:40:05] their supply. And you don't get much
[00:40:07] closer to the symbolic top of the
[00:40:09] pyramid than cocaine in the White House.
[00:40:12] And it's cute that Cash and Dan think
[00:40:14] they're going to investigate and
[00:40:15] prosecute someone over this. In fact,
[00:40:17] it's kind of offensive because while
[00:40:19] these guys are chasing around a little
[00:40:21] baggie of coke that we all know could
[00:40:23] have been anyone and everyone in the
[00:40:25] Biden White House, the Epstein files are
[00:40:27] still just sitting on Pam Bondie's desk
[00:40:29] collecting dust cuz everyone implicated
[00:40:32] in them is part of the untouchable
[00:40:34] ruling class. They are the bankers, the
[00:40:37] politicians, the celebrities, and the
[00:40:39] corporate executives that make the world
[00:40:41] go round and the whole world works for
[00:40:44] them. And now we've got a blackmail sex
[00:40:47] tape scandal to discuss. But first, I
[00:40:50] want to take a break to mention one of
[00:40:52] our sponsors. And now, let me tell you
[00:40:54] about home title lock. If you're a
[00:40:55] homeowner, you need to listen to this.
[00:40:57] When's the last time you checked on your
[00:40:59] home title? That's the legal proof that
[00:41:01] you own your own house. If you're like
[00:41:03] me, the answer is never. The problem is
[00:41:05] in today's AI and cyber world, scammers
[00:41:08] are stealing home titles and your equity
[00:41:09] is the target. Here's how it works.
[00:41:11] Criminals forge your signature on one
[00:41:13] document, use a fake notary stamp, pay a
[00:41:15] small fee with your county, and boom,
[00:41:17] your home title has been transferred out
[00:41:19] of your name. Then they take out loans
[00:41:21] using your equity or even sell your
[00:41:23] property. You won't even know it's
[00:41:25] happening until you get a collection or
[00:41:27] foreclosure notice. That's why you need
[00:41:29] to stop what you're doing and find out
[00:41:31] today if you're already a victim. Use

[00:42:03] flooded with a sex tape scandal
[00:42:04] surrounding legendary independent
[00:42:06] journalist Glenn Greenwall. If you're
[00:42:08] not familiar with Glenn, he's been in
[00:42:10] the game since about 2003 when a lot of
[00:42:12] us were still learning to write in
[00:42:14] complete sentences. He's contributed to
[00:42:16] some of the top anti-corruption stories
[00:42:17] of all time, including being one of the
[00:42:19] primary journalist to receive and
[00:42:21] publish leaked documents from Edward
[00:42:22] Snowden. He won a Pulitzer Prize for his
[00:42:25] work on the Snowden story. He went on to
[00:42:27] be one of the founding members of the
[00:42:28] Intercept, where he was a key player in
[00:42:30] receiving and reporting the first leaks
[00:42:32] of Hillary Clinton's email server that
[00:42:34] eventually exposed a whole archive of
[00:42:36] criminal activity in Libya, Haiti, as
[00:42:38] well as the infamous Pizzagate emails
[00:42:40] that were eventually published on
[00:42:41] Wikileaks. He reported on a major
[00:42:43] corruption scandal in Brazil, exposing
[00:42:45] members of the Bolsinaro government,
[00:42:47] including judges and prosecutors of
[00:42:48] corruption and attempts to rig
[00:42:50] elections. He criticized Bush, he
[00:42:51] criticized Obama, and he criticized
[00:42:53] Trump. Then in 2020, when editors at the
[00:42:56] Intercept tried to censor his reporting
[00:42:58] on Joe Biden's corrupt dealings with
[00:42:59] China in Ukraine, rather than acquies to
[00:43:02] censorship, he left the publication that
[00:43:04] he had helped to found. Instead, he went
[00:43:06] independent and quickly amassed one of
[00:43:08] the largest audiences of anyone in the
[00:43:10] space. All throughout his career,
[00:43:13] despite being Jewish, he has criticized
[00:43:15] the government of Israel over the
[00:43:16] military policies and intelligence
[00:43:18] operations. He has been deeply critical
[00:43:20] of their treatment of Palestinians since
[00:43:22] long before October 7th. And then last
[00:43:25] week, he scheduled to sit down with
[00:43:27] Tucker Carlson for a podcast. And the
[00:43:29] day before the episode aired, a private
[00:43:32] sexual video of him was leaked online.
[00:43:35] I'm sure that the timing was just a
[00:43:37] coincidence. I'm sure it was just some
[00:43:39] random disgruntled kids that hacked his
[00:43:41] phone or computer and leaked it all on
[00:43:44] Twitter. Probably not a foreign
[00:43:46] government or intelligence agency trying
[00:43:47] to embarrass and silence him. Now, I
[00:43:50] didn't watch the videos out of respect
[00:43:51] to Glenn. Glenn is a grown man and based
[00:43:53] on the conversation online, I could tell
[00:43:54] that there was no kids involved. Glenn's
[00:43:57] gay and we've known this for a long
[00:43:58] time. And so the videos were just meant
[00:44:00] to embarrass and presumably to just
[00:44:01] occupy the conversation around him.
[00:44:04] Glenn put out a statement that was
[00:44:05] exceptionally well-worded that I just
[00:44:07] want to read. Quote, "Last night, videos
[00:44:10] were released online depicting behavior
[00:44:12] in my private life. Some were distorted
[00:44:14] and others were not. They were published
[00:44:15] without my knowledge or consent, and its
[00:44:17] publication was therefore criminal.
[00:44:19] Though we do not yet know exactly who is
[00:44:20] responsible, we are close to knowing and
[00:44:22] the motive was a maliciously political
[00:44:24] one. As for the content of the videos, I
[00:44:26] have no embarrassment or regret about
[00:44:28] them. The videos depict consenting
[00:44:29] adults engaging in intimate actions in
[00:44:31] their private lives. They all display
[00:44:33] fully consensual behavior harming
[00:44:35] nobody. Obviously, it can be
[00:44:37] uncomfortable and unpleasant when your
[00:44:38] private behavior is made public against
[00:44:40] your will. That's why the behavior is in
[00:44:42] private in the first place. But the only
[00:44:43] wrongdoing here is the criminal and
[00:44:45] malicious publication of the videos in
[00:44:46] an attempt to malign perceived political
[00:44:48] enemies and advance a political agenda.
[00:44:50] Others are of course free to form their
[00:44:52] own judgments as some are prone to do
[00:44:53] about others private lives. It won't
[00:44:55] change my work. I will continue all the
[00:44:57] many prongs of my journalism and pursue
[00:44:59] the causes most important to me exactly
[00:45:01] as before. And basically the entire
[00:45:04] internet shared the same sentiment. We
[00:45:06] don't care. Glenn Greenwald is one of
[00:45:08] the most impactful independent
[00:45:09] journalists of our generation. what he
[00:45:11] does in his own bedroom with consenting
[00:45:13] adults is his own business. Some of the
[00:45:15] comments underneath Glenn's post were
[00:45:18] both hilarious and awesome to read. Um,
[00:45:21] Cernovich, a slightly more serious take
[00:45:24] here. Glad that I've been out of the
[00:45:26] loop and missed this. Sorry you've been
[00:45:27] targeted in this way. Showing moral
[00:45:29] courage is important because blackmail
[00:45:30] only works when people live in fear,
[00:45:32] which is what the powerful want and
[00:45:34] demand via other coercive ways. The host
[00:45:37] twins just said, "You wild as hell,
[00:45:39] Glenn." And even Andrew Tate weighed in
[00:45:42] saying, "F him. Keep up the good fight."
[00:45:44] Andrew Tate is normally the first guy to
[00:45:47] call someone aot. And here he is
[00:45:49] supporting Glenn Greenwald because we
[00:45:51] all get it. Journalism needs to stand up
[00:45:53] to stuff like this because once they're
[00:45:56] doing things like this to journalists,
[00:45:57] where does it end? That post has been
[00:46:00] viewed over 22 million times. And
[00:46:03] ironically for the leakers, the story
[00:46:05] has been a huge backfire. Not only did
[00:46:07] the world not care, but it also exposed
[00:46:09] a dark and important truth about today's
[00:46:11] media landscape. The world is run by
[00:46:14] blackmail. And it's not just politicians
[00:46:16] that will be targeted. They, whoever
[00:46:19] they are, will do just about anything to
[00:46:21] just about anyone who threatens them to
[00:46:23] try to silence the truth, uphold their
[00:46:25] narrative, and maintain power. I've been
[00:46:27] wondering for some time now if we would
[00:46:29] start seeing blackmail of independent
[00:46:30] media. And now, thanks to Glenn
[00:46:32] Greenwald falling on this grenade for
[00:46:34] all of us, we have proof. The question
[00:46:37] we should all be asking is, how many
[00:46:39] other people in independent media might
[00:46:41] be controlled by blackmail that has not
[00:46:44] been released? How many people out there
[00:46:46] would not have the spine of Glenn and
[00:46:48] rather than suffer embarrassment would
[00:46:50] change their reporting, do their
[00:46:52] blackmailers bidding, or compromise
[00:46:54] their values? And to be clear, so far we
[00:46:58] don't know who it was that hacked and
[00:46:59] released these videos. We don't know who
[00:47:01] might want to embarrass or silence Glenn
[00:47:03] Greenwald. At least we don't know for
[00:47:05] sure. But personally, I have my own
[00:47:09] suspicions. And if you want evidence to
[00:47:11] help you decide who you think is trying
[00:47:13] to blackmail journalists, you should go
[00:47:15] watch Glenn's interview with Tucker and
[00:47:17] think for yourself. For now, we'll just
[00:47:20] show a brief clip from the interview
[00:47:21] that I picked out totally at random.
[00:47:23] Obviously
[00:47:25] I like in 2022 and 2023 there were a
[00:47:28] bunch of MAGA people who were opposed to
[00:47:30] the funding of the war in Ukraine uh and
[00:47:34] some non-Maga people too like RFK Jr.
[00:47:37] and I was obviously very opposed to it
[00:47:39] from the start. You were too. I went on
[00:47:40] the show many times to talk about that
[00:47:42] and I had a bunch of them on like Matt
[00:47:44] Gates and Marjorie Taylor Green and RFK
[00:47:47] Jr. a lot of them. And I always had this
[00:47:51] same plan. And I would ask them like,
[00:47:52] "Why are you opposed to having the US
[00:47:54] fund the war in Ukraine? Like, don't you
[00:47:56] want the US to stand up for Ukraine
[00:47:58] against Russia?" And they would all say,
[00:48:00] "This isn't our business. This is on the
[00:48:03] other side of the world. It doesn't
[00:48:04] affect my constituents. Our communities
[00:48:06] are falling apart. We have fentanyl
[00:48:08] addictions sweeping our communities.
[00:48:10] Nobody has jobs. Nobody has healthcare.
[00:48:12] Our country is falling apart. We don't
[00:48:13] have the money to keep sending to
[00:48:14] foreign countries. And it's outrageous
[00:48:16] that we keep doing it." And they would
[00:48:17] be very passionate and very adamant. I
[00:48:19] would encourage them to keep developing
[00:48:21] that idea and they would and they would
[00:48:22] say all those things with which I
[00:48:24] completely agreed. And then my next
[00:48:26] question was always, do you apply the
[00:48:28] same rationale to the United States
[00:48:30] funding the Israeli military and Israeli
[00:48:32] society and Israeli
[00:48:34] wars? And they would all stutter to try
[00:48:37] and distinguish why it was that they had
[00:48:41] one view for Ukraine and a very
[00:48:43] compelling rationale, but then had to
[00:48:46] say, "Oh, no, Israel is different."
[00:48:47] There's there's this attempt now to
[00:48:49] impose on colleges, require colleges to
[00:48:51] adopt, but also enact into American law
[00:48:54] this radical expansion of what
[00:48:55] anti-semitism means. Like there's laws
[00:48:57] that say here's what racism is, here's
[00:48:59] what, you know, xenophobia is, here's
[00:49:01] what Islamophobia is, misogyny,
[00:49:02] whatever. to expand the definition of
[00:49:05] anti-semitism to include statements not
[00:49:08] only about Jewish people who should be
[00:49:10] subjected to critique like you should be
[00:49:12] able to say huh that Ben Shiro seems to
[00:49:14] care quite a lot about Israel maybe even
[00:49:16] to the point that he cares about it more
[00:49:18] than the United States like you should
[00:49:19] be able to express that critique but the
[00:49:22] other thing is you cannot say for this
[00:49:24] is just one example you cannot say
[00:49:26] Israel is a racist endeavor you can say
[00:49:30] Iran is a racist endeavor you can say
[00:49:32] Hamas is a racist
[00:49:34] the United States is a racist endeavor.
[00:49:36] You can say anything you you can be a
[00:49:39] student at a at a school a month away
[00:49:41] from completing your PhD with a
[00:49:43] completely clean record and you can
[00:49:45] write an oped saying I think America is
[00:49:47] a country of violence and imperialism
[00:49:50] and evil and was founded on racism and
[00:49:53] you'll be totally fine. You write an
[00:49:55] op-ed onetenth of those criticisms but
[00:49:58] about Israel and ICE is coming to get
[00:50:00] you and to deport you.
[00:50:03] So, don't pay any attention obviously to
[00:50:05] any of those points that he's making.
[00:50:07] Don't argue those arguments at all.
[00:50:09] Don't address the facts or the material
[00:50:12] of the concerns. Instead, you should pay
[00:50:15] attention to the scandal. Pay attention
[00:50:17] to the sex tape. pay attention to the
[00:50:20] distractions because we're still waiting
[00:50:23] for any informed or rational way of
[00:50:27] addressing those concerns from the
[00:50:29] experts, from someone who's been there.
[00:50:33] We're waiting to
[00:50:35] hear. So, that's our show for today.
[00:50:38] Really appreciate you tuning in. It
[00:50:41] would be a real big help if you like the
[00:50:43] video, shared it with your friends,
[00:50:45] subscribed to Candace's channel. Also
[00:50:46] really appreciate it on my end if you
[00:50:48] follow the link in the description to go
[00:50:49] to my channel on YouTube, Ian Carol's
[00:50:51] Show, and subscribe over there because
[00:50:53] when I'm done taking over for Candace,
[00:50:55] I'm going to take all this stuff we do
[00:50:56] and move it right over there and keep on
[00:50:58] rolling. We'll be bringing you more
[00:50:59] updates on Candace, Baby Roman, all
[00:51:01] that, as well as digging into all sorts
[00:51:04] of other scandals and stories that the
[00:51:07] big boys don't want us to talk about
[00:51:08] later this week. So, have a great night,
[00:51:12] take good care of yourself and your
[00:51:13] family, and we'll see you tomorrow.
