Speaker 1:We'll be right back.
Speaker 2:Good evening and welcome to the Ryan Samuel Show. We're here, we're live. We got some really big stories tonight, all three stories we're going to do. We're so big I almost had to split them up, but I said you know what? These are the three biggest stories in the country. We're going to cover them. I got some inside information too that you're going to only hear here and nowhere else. So, as per usual, we're going to do three topics one hour. Let's kick it off.
Speaker 2:The first topic is Ghislaine Maxwell transcript was released today. It's 12 hours, don't worry. I went through the trouble of going through it and finding out what was said and what was going on. And are we suspicious or not? That's what we're going to talk about. John Bolton yes, the former National Defense Secretary has been raided by the FBI. Is it legitimate? Is it a political ploy? These are questions that I want to know. And then the creme de la creme, probably the biggest story and the best part about this story is nobody on earth is talking about it, and that is the United States of America is about a pubic hair away from laying waste to drug cartels in Venezuela and Mexico. Some information was released. Ships have been launched, they're ready to go to war and we're going to talk about that. So we will cover all three topics right after this.
Speaker 3:Hey, Ryan. Hi, this is Sarah Palin.
Speaker 4:Ryan Donald Trump, Jr Hogs to win, see ya. Hey everybody, I want y'all to check out a fellow Marine's ball catch.
Speaker 5:My name is Ted Nugent and I got a call from my buddy, ryan F Samuels, and he wants me to tell you that he's a working hard, playing all-American son of a who is celebrating god family country.
Speaker 4:Welcome to the ryan samuels show, one of the top political podcasts in the united states, where we have a healthy distrust for government and mainstream media. The ryan samuels show is a raw, unfiltered look at american politics follow on facebook, twitter, youtube, rumble and all podcast platforms. Here is your host, ryan Samuels.
Speaker 2:All right, we're back, we're live. So last night I thought I really thought I was live on Instagram. I was not live on Instagram, Although I am live on Instagram now for the first time in history. What an amazing day. What an amazing day Finally. Anyway, it's a little wonky. I can't do it through this big studio and these flat screen TVs. I got to do it through a little screen on the side. A little weird there Instagram. But anyway, that's besides the point. That's not what we're here to talk about. We are here to talk about the big news, and we're going to start with John Bolton Now. John Bolton was a member of the first Trump administration. Okay, he was very supportive of the raids at Mar-a-Lago. He was on MSNBC collecting paychecks, talking about how awesome it is and how great it is, and I'm going to back that up with receipts. Okay, let's listen to his interview from the day that they raided Mar-a-Lago on MSNBC.
Speaker 7:Any given moment. But I don't think he cared about the classification system. I don't think he appreciated the sensitivity of this information and he didn't appreciate the sensitivity of how it was often acquired the so-called sources and methods. So this had been briefed to him before I arrived. It was repeated frequently. I think it simply had no impact on him whatever.
Speaker 2:There's a couple of different. The craziest part about this is John Bolton was raided by the FBI for mishandling classified documents, and not for just having them, mind you, but using them as a resource for his new book. Now, that is obviously the accusation. We don't know if that is true or accurate at this moment in time. The right wing media is going to tell you that that's the case. The left wing media is going to tell you that that's not. The. The left wing media is going to tell you that that's not the case, and I'm going to try to tell you the truth. So John Bolton is being raided by the same agency that raided Donald Trump, for the exact same reason. There's only one difference. There's a there's a different president for each of them. Let's listen to what else he had to say.
Speaker 8:Ways that people think about this and people who are not friendly to the president. For each of them, let's careless. He's not that smart. He just, if you want to. He took these things almost by mistake and now he's basically stamping his feet and saying they're mine. I don't want to give them up. Give me a sense of where you think the truth lies with respect to Trump's intelligence, carelessness and the degree to which he might've brought motive to bear on taking these documents out of the White House and keeping them for this long at Mar-a-Lago.
Speaker 7:Well, I don't. It's very hard to speculate on motive other than that he liked cool things. He saw things that he so he wanted to take them, and he was pretty much able to take them, and not just on classified information matters, on all kinds of things that crossed his desk. Some days he liked to eat a lot of French fries. Some days he took classified documents. He wanted them. Why did he want them? Because he could get them.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, what the hell is this guy talking about? You just made all of that up. This guy is the former head of the National Security Agency. He used to be the head honcho, the big boy over there, and like, oh, some days the president liked french fries, some days he liked to take classified documents. Like you're just making that up. Like clearly, you're just making that up. Anybody with common sense can tell You're just like, oh, I don't know why he wanted to take them, because it was a BS case.
Speaker 2:The question is Is this case a BS case and is this a legitimate pursuit, or is it retaliatory by Donald Trump? And that's the question that needs to be answered. Listen, any growth in the power of the federal government or state government or even your local government is a problem. The government has killed more people than cancer. I say that just about every night on this show because it's true Government that governs best governs the least. So let's look into this just a little bit further and let's see if we can pull up anything here. Here is a news story about John Bolton being raided by the FBI.
Speaker 5:I did not realize this, but there was a probe going on when President Trump was in office last time because John Bolton wrote a book and he violated his NDA. The president said in doing it and he felt as though there were classified information in that book. The probe dropped when Joe Biden became president, so is this picking up where that left off?
Speaker 9:David, it's possible. I don't know with 100 percent certainty, but it is notable, guys, that John Bolton Ambassador Bolton's security clearances were stripped earlier this year by President Trump. Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence.
Speaker 2:They stripped security clearances of 37 people 37, not just John Bolton. Ok, the Russiagate investigation is most likely going to be tied to this. Ok, there's a couple of things going on here. The first thing is that there are statute of limitations on this case with John Bolton. The statute of limitations ends at the end of this next month. Okay, at the end of September is when it ends. So October 1st the statute of limitations sunsets on any charges against John Bolton. Therefore, they had to go now.
Speaker 2:The problem with that, and the perceived problem with that, is that it's premature. So do they actually have the evidence that they need or is this just going to be a popcorn fart? Did the FBI do this, cause all this, this stuff? This is Donald Trump's really first time going after somebody with the deal with the DOJ and cash fatale and Dan Bongino, these this is the stuff there's working for. There's going to be more. This is not the first one, but they better have some evidence that they find in this guy's house or this is just a big nothing and it really needs to be legitimate, and I think Dan Bongino is well aware of that, and Kash Patel. I don't think they would have done this just to fail Again. I think Pam Bondi is an issue. I think she was an issue when she was in Florida. I've never liked Pam Bondi. She's very anti-gun, but she's also incompetent. She's incompetent.
Speaker 2:So we're going to see just exactly what this brings forward and brings to light. I hope, I hope. I hope this is just the beginning of a series of raids. I want to see Letitia James. Letitia James should be in federal prison for the rest of her life, and so should Kathy Hochul. They should be in federal prison. No mercy, a right trial, a right jury. But they should go to federal prison for abusing the justice system that they did and disgracing the American people with what they did with that sham trial of Donald Trump.
Speaker 2:That was a frigging joke and it was a scam. And, as we talked about last night, the New York state district, the New York state Supreme court, which is the step below the appellate court, the appellate court is actually what you would call the Supreme court in any other, in most other states. It's still got one step to go. We talked about this all last night, but that was a joke and it should. It should have been thrown out. I do not anticipate the appellate court is going to keep it. Let's listen to what CNN had to say about John Bolton.
Speaker 10:We're following major breaking news this morning that continues to unfold. The FBI, conducting a court, authorized search at the home of John Bolton as part of a national security investigation. That is, according to a source familiar with the matter, a ton of questions around this right now.
Speaker 2:Our CNN crew has been on the ground on the scene this morning, observed I love the photo they use of this guy where he looks like he just crapped his pants because he should be absolutely terrified.
Speaker 10:FBI personnel near Bolton's home, even seeing personnel go into his home. John Bolton, as you all know, is President Trump's former national security advisor and a former US ambassador to the UN. In recent years, he has become a prominent critic of the president, ever since he left the first Trump administration.
Speaker 2:This is what I'm saying the left wing media is going to make this about. Oh, he's a critic of President Trump, of President Trump. He also may have ties to Russiagate and the leaking of classified information to try to make Donald Trump look bad and prevent him from obtaining the presidency for the second term. He may be involved with the conspiracy of Russiagate. There's many things that they're not mentioning in CNN, because CNN is friggin' dog crap.
Speaker 10:As recently as this week, he spoke to us about President Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 7:Well, I think it's a reflection of just how confident the Russians feel they have escaped the sanctions that have been threatened by President Trump. They've heard Secretary of State Rubio say on Sunday we're not going to sanction them because it will cause diplomatic efforts to fail.
Speaker 2:Why would you sanction them? You're trying to end the war. You're trying to end the war. Why would you cause a rift in the middle of negotiations? That seems common sense, and this guy's supposed to be a diplomat. Isn't that very diplomatic to put sanctions on a country you're trying to negotiate with and stop the killing of thousands of people every day?
Speaker 7:Trying to keep the table set so that things work out in their direction.
Speaker 10:That was just a couple days ago, cnn's Caitlin Polanski joining us now. Caitlin, you brought us this breaking news and you have some new reporting already. What's going on?
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, but I need to know what Caitlin's pronouns are, because I have no idea what that thing is.
Speaker 11:That's right, kate. We can confirm according to a law, according to a person familiar with this investigation, that the probe it's related to the possible retention of national security information. So a little bit more specific on what we know about this investigation, this search that the FBI is conducting of John Bolton's home. Not only is it about national security, it is about the retention of national security information. Often, kate, that looks like are there classified documents being kept outside of where they should be kept? That often is what we see in investigations like this.
Speaker 2:The classified documents thing is the catch-all for the FBI. It sounds like I want you guys to know and understand, okay, if you've never worked in a place like I was in the military. I worked with the nuclear weapons. We had secret clearances and top secret clearances and there was classified information everywhere, but everything was classified information. What Donald Trump has for lunch is classified information. Where he had lunch is classified information. What Donald Trump has for lunch is classified information. Where he had lunch is classified information. You know the time. If somebody keeps a log of the time he went to the bathroom, that's classified information. So if you kept a menu and you take your menu home, that could be considered classified information. So understand, they say it because it's loud and it's scary. My thing is is that is Kash Patel and Dan Bongino using this as a pretext before the statute of limitations run out so that they can get the ball rolling and then add more charges as they investigate? And this was their foot in the door to get the warrant to find other things. To get the warrant to find other things. Now, if this guy had so much time to clean up everything, all his communications, all the documentation he kept, whether he's talking to Obama about Russiagate. All of this is speculation, just 100%. Just so you know.
Speaker 2:All right, we have Ruby's Cove Guest House commenting. I do not know him, but it sounds like he supports Trump. Is that correct? Peace, well, if you left, you're not going to know. Is that like peace out? Like back in the 90s, when I was a kid we would say peace and it meant see you later, friend, or toodaloo, bye-bye. Hey Terry, how are you? Thanks for commenting? So listen, we don't know. He does not support Trump. Okay, to answer your question, he does not support Trump. He has never supported Trump. Maybe he pretended to at times, but he definitely does not. Just so we're clear and you understand the document.
Speaker 2:The classified documents thing is the new friggin catch-all man, it's, it's the cop smells marijuana in your car. Oh, I smell marijuana in your car. I mean, cops say that even when there's no marijuana and you really can't challenge it, they could just get in your car that way, depending on where you, where you live, but that's a pretext to get in the car. You're basically trusting the police officers. Honesty, right, the court is going to take the cop's word against yours, so but that's the thing. If you say I smell marijuana in the car and you get in the car and you don't find marijuana. You kind of look like an idiot. And then what Right you got to put in a report? You look like a fool, but in the police department nobody cares. I'm talking about this situation, the national. This is national news. This is going to be this is the biggest, one of the biggest stories of the presidency of Donald Trump. They better make sure that they find something. So let's finish this up with they, them or whoever this thing is.
Speaker 11:But we're still waiting to hear more of what this is. The FBI they are at work still on that scene in Maryland where John Bolton's home is. They took bags out of their vehicles to bring inside. There were four or six agents. They have those blazers on, say FBI, in the back.
Speaker 11:So this is quite an observable scene right now, very different than when the retention of national security information was being investigated during a search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property three years ago. John Bolton he has not been charged with anything here. He's not been in government for six years. He did write a book and was under investigation when soon after he left the Trump administration in 2020. He was being investigated at that time by a federal grand jury in Washington on the possible disclosure of classified information in that book and he was not charged there. So, looking at the possibility of a through line, it seems to be more likely, given that this is about the retention of national security information. There hasn't been a formal comment yet that we have received from John Bolton or from his lawyer. He was unaware of the.
Speaker 11:FBI activity this morning. He wasn't home at the time.
Speaker 2:Also understand. There is a likelihood that this guy may have gotten a heads up. Okay, this guy is a member of the actual deep state. He's been at the highest levels of governments for decades. His connections are up down inside and out. I hope Kash Patel and Dan Bongino know that and took extra precaution. But there is a likelihood that, hey, maybe this guy got a text message. He was the head of the National Security Agency. They have access to things that you wouldn't even dream of. This is the same agency that would have listened to everybody speaking in the whole world, because your phone was sitting on the counter and Edward Snowden blew the lid on. So there, there is a chance that he maybe get the heads up and everything's gone. He'd be an idiot. If he still has it five years later, he'd be an idiot. That's why I'm saying this is there's more to this. There's something more to this. They're looking for something else. This is a reason for them to get the warrant.
Speaker 11:We also are waiting to see if the administration will say anything publicly. So far, some cryptic messages posted on social media by the two top officials at the FBI Kash Patel, the FBI director, on the Platform X writing. Kash Patel, the FBI director, on the Platform X, writing no one is of the law. Fbi agents on mission.
Speaker 2:That was right after 7 am this morning. That is the most amazing thing in the world, because that's what they did to Trump when they had those 34 fake felony accounts. Every politician was like no one is above the law and no one is above the law. So this is just a big F? You to them and I couldn't be happier. I couldn't be happier. I just want to make sure it's legit.
Speaker 11:And then the deputy FBI director, dan Bongino, posting public corruption will not be tolerated, not mentioning John Bolton by name in either of those. In either of those things, this is a situation that would be court authorized. So the FBI would have gone to a court with the help of Justice Department prosecutors, asking to have the approval of a search like this take place. They would have had to have probable cause to do this, but that, as we know, is a far, far long way from potential charges and also potential trial, anything like that. Kate Long long way from that.
Speaker 2:I am almost certain that they are going to indict John Bolton. I would put money on it. I wonder if it's available to bet on money on it. I wonder if it's available to bet on. But for certain, the thing about the Trump administration, donald Trump now, what he has to do, he's. They forced him to do this.
Speaker 2:Okay, what Donald Trump has to do is he has to put himself in a position to where, when he leaves office, nobody is ever going to be able to mess with him again. So all of his political enemies who are now screaming at the top of their lungs oh, oh, my God, yeah, this is lawfare. Like I don't care, I don't care. The Democratic Party set the precedence for this. They set the precedence for this.
Speaker 2:When Donald Trump was rerunning for his second term, they brought it up. Well, you're going to go after your political opponents. He's like no, I'm not, he lied. Of course he lied. He has to. He has no recourse to stop them from coming after him when he gets out, unless he totally crushes his enemy. He has to totally crush them just so that he could survive, so they won't try to put him in federal prison for the rest of his life. This is going to be the first of many. I do think there's a deeper story here. Here's footage of John Bolton coming back to his house after he found out that the FBI was there.
Speaker 14:We're going to get back to that in just a second, but here's live pictures of what we believe is John Bolton returning home. We had a picture of this SUV leaving his office a short time ago and now it looks like it's made its way with about a 30-minute trip to his home and there's the ambassador coming up, briefcase in hand, waving to the assembled media and going inside the front door of the home. We will see. It doesn't look like it at this point if he decides to come out and talk. I mean, john Bolton does talk to the media an awful lot, but he has chosen to remain silent at this point. Of course, nicole Parker is with us and, nicole, it looks as though this investigation, at least the search of Bolton's home and his office, has wrapped. What do you expect might be in the boxes that came out at the hands of FBI agents, and where does this go next?
Speaker 2:I love when they ask dumb questions like that what do you think is in the boxes that came out at the hands of FBI agents? So where does this go next? I love when they ask dumb questions like that what do you think is in the boxes? What do you think is in the boxes of the FBI? Like it's just dumb questions? So we're going to see what happens with this. We're going to follow it closely. His here is well. Here's his neighbor. Okay, so they're obviously friends, right? This is John Bolton's neighbor, neighbor who comes out to the press to advocate for John Bolton and say that Trump and wearing a shirt that says Trump is a national disgrace. Okay, let's hear what he has to say.
Speaker 15:All of this retribution and vengeance and using the DOJ and the FBI and the power of government to go after anybody who disagrees with him is frightening, and it's only going to get worse if we don't do something to make it stop. I don't know if you guys can hear that. It sounds like it's only going to get worse if we don't do something to make it stop I don't know if you guys can hear that.
Speaker 2:It sounds like it's really low. Basically, he's saying exactly what I what I said. Everybody's going to say that people are that donald trump is using the, the department of justice, to go after his political enemies. Here's JD Vance. Jd Vance was doing an exclusive with Meet the Press and he was asked about John Bolton, and let's listen to JD Vance's response.
Speaker 17:He's a frequent critic of President Trump's. He's also on Kash Patel's enemies list. The administration has already revoked his security clearance secret service protection. Is Ambassador Bolton being targeted because he's a critic of President Trump?
Speaker 18:No, not at all, and in fact, if we were trying to do that, we would just throw out prosecutions willy-nilly, like the Biden administration, doj did, prosecutions that later got thrown out in court. If we bring a case and of course we haven't done that yet, the Department of Justice has not done that yet. We are investigating Ambassador Bolton, but if they ultimately bring a case, it will be because they determined that he has broken the law. We're going to be careful about that, we're going to be deliberate about that, because we don't think that we should throw people. Even if they disagree with us politically, maybe, especially if they disagree with us politically, you shouldn't throw people willy nilly in prison. You should let the law drive these determinations, and that's what we're doing.
Speaker 17:But you know, a lot of people have already looked at this and said this looks a lot like retribution. Is this retribution?
Speaker 18:Well, who has said it looks a lot like retribution? Kristen, a lot of people who tried to throw Donald Trump in prison for completely fake charges that were later thrown out by multiple different courts. I suspect that if the media and the American people let this case actually unfold, if they let the investigation unfold as it's currently doing, they're going to find out that what we're doing is being very deliberate and being very driven by the national interest and by the law here, and that's as it should be.
Speaker 2:I love JD Vance. He could just answer any questions so eloquently and give you an actual response. So here's MSNBC, of course trying to lay cover for John Bolton, as they particularly do. This is the last video. Then we got to move on because we're running out of time, but let's just watch MSNBC.
Speaker 19:He thought that the president's summit in Alaska with Vladimir Putin was going to be a disaster. In fact, even before the summit occurred, he said that he'd Trump had handed Putin a win. In fact, trump took went to social media to criticize Bolton for those comments and now, a few days later, we have this. We don't know there's a link, but we certainly know this is a president who has promised retribution. Yeah, mrs Chilton.
Speaker 2:When did he ever promise retribution?
Speaker 20:Never it really is. Listen, john Bolton and I disagreed on many things back in the days when I was serving in public office, but I don't think very many people that know John Bolton would argue that his beliefs were intellectually sound. You could disagree with him and that he gave a they're laying cover for him.
Speaker 2:They're trying to make him out to be like some, some hero of the government, only because Trump opposes him. Now, if he supported Trump, they'd be vilifying him. That's what they would do, because they're the left and they're freaking insane. So we're going to cover that. You know, obviously we don't know much. I got the alert, so I was notified about it, that it was possibly happening at like seven, 30 this morning. I I believed it, but we'll, I think I and then I threw a video out like right after, like at eight or nine o'clock or something like that, to talk about it. So not really much else has come out through the day. The other big news has come out and that's Ghislaine Maxwell's interviews with the Department of Justice have been released, and what they don't do is they don't vilify Trump or the Trump administration. Actually, quite the opposite, quite the opposite. She actually comes out and says some very nice things about donald trump, but why? All right, so we all know that.
Speaker 2:Jeffrey epstein, this is like beating a dead horse, but we don't know what's going on with that. Okay, a couple of things. Everybody's screaming about these epstein files, the left. It's like every freaking every post I put. There's like 20 leftists that go oh, release the Epstein files. Oh, my God, release the Epstein files. Listen, this happened years ago, over the course of almost a decade.
Speaker 2:If you think that Jeffrey Epstein was working for Mossad or CIA or any of these things, that people believe, any of these conspiracies, do you think that these people who went in there and allegedly killed him just kept the files in case somebody wanted to read them one day? You don't think they just got rid of them and they don't exist anymore, exist anymore. So you're talking about this massive conspiracy, this master, massive cover-up, who super ninja'd inside of a, of a freaking cell where the guy was sleeping silently, strangled him in less than a minute of missing video that happened to be right on the money from one minute before midnight, which logically sounds like the tapes were resetting snuck in there, kept out, had this secret little microfilm of files of all of the bad things that they did, and then they handed it to the FBI and said put this in a drawer in case one day somebody wants to know what we did, in case one day somebody wants to know what we did. No, if that is the case which I'll tell you is unlikely. If that is the case, then guess what? The files are gone, dude. They burned them. They're out of there. They're, they're, they're gone away.
Speaker 2:Now there are some people who rubbed elbows with jeffrey epstein that, I think, did some bad things alongside Jeffrey Epstein. One of them is Bill Gates, because Bill Gates number one is a nerd. Okay, he's a frigging nerd, that's okay. I love nerds, I do. I'm a nerd. I mean, I read. I got books behind me. It's the Harvard classics man. I love to read. I'm a nerd, but I'm not as big of a nerd as Bill Gates.
Speaker 2:And he's asked a question on PBS about his time with Jeffrey Epstein and this dude's lying. He's lying. Let's break it down. Let's watch this, and then we're going to get to Ghislaine Maxwell her actual transcripts, her voice. They're coming up next.

Here's Bill Gates being confronted about his time with Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 21:You had a number of meetings with Jeffrey Epstein who, when you met him 10 years ago, he was convicted of soliciting prostitution from minors. What did you know about him when you were meeting with him, as you've said yourself, in the hopes of raising money? You know I had dinners with him. I regret doing that.
Speaker 2:Look at him. Look at him. I regret doing that.
Speaker 22:He had relationships with people he said you know would give to global health, which is interest I have. You know, not nearly enough. Philanthropy goes in that direction. You know those meetings were a mistake. They didn't result in what he purported and I cut them off. You know that goes back a long time ago now. There's, you know, so there's nothing new on that.
Speaker 21:It was reported that you continued to meet with him over several years and that in other words a number of meetings. What did you do when you found out about his background?
Speaker 22:Well, you know, I've said I regretted having those dinners, and there's nothing, absolutely nothing new on that.
Speaker 21:Is there a lesson for you, for anyone else looking at this? Well, he's dead.
Speaker 5:So you know in general, you always have to be careful. He's dead.
Speaker 2:In general, you always have to be careful. Is he talking about himself or is he talking about Jeffrey Epstein? Listen, there's stuff that has my antennas tinging with this case. That has my antennas tinging with this case, but when you get down to the core of it, listen. At the end of the day, most conspiracies are just completely wrong, and I'll tell you why they're wrong. Because the average citizen who has never spent any time in government and I've spent time at some of the highest levels in government with top secret clearances.
Speaker 2:I was privy to stuff at a young age okay, all of this is verified. You can Google me and find it. It's there. Okay, the one thing you need to learn about the United States government and super secret conspiracies is this they're fucking incompetent. The government could fuck up a cup of coffee. It is next to impossible for them to pull anything off along those lines, something that intricate and advanced. Okay, they're. They're incompetent. All right, that's my experience with the federal government, but doesn't mean it's not true. Maybe I wasn't privy to the highest levels and I thought I was, but they kept me out of it and acted like they were incompetent for a reason. That could be true too. All right. Here is so Ghislaine Maxwell. There's no video, this is just audio. She went to, she had a meeting with the Department of Justice and she was interviewed. Okay, to which she mentions in the interview that Donald Trump was a great gentleman, that he was perfect in every way, he never acted any way inappropriate. Let's listen to this.
Speaker 24:Photographic evidence. I'm not sure that even the FBI would take that. Well, maybe today, but certainly not back then, would take that seriously. So you have to have something to say. Hey, you know, look, I've got this video of you doing terrible things and you need to. So I built those houses, many of them those houses, many of them.
Speaker 2:She's talking about the notion that there's hidden cameras in the walls and that he was recording these massages with famous people to use it as leverage against them. Okay, is that possible? Yeah, but is it probable? No, because even when gathering intelligence, you catch more flies with honey. It's not a movie with honey. It's not a movie, man, you know. It's not a movie where they're holding you hostage with blackmail. They're coming as your friends with a smiling face is what they're doing and they're gaining trust. They're not holding you hostage.
Speaker 24:That's not typically the best way to get intelligence.
Speaker 2:She's saying she built them, she decorated them.
Speaker 24:The electrician's in for the wiring. I never wired, nor saw a single house that had any type of inappropriate let's say video surveillance. And I'll define that for you Inappropriate surveillance would mean in a bathroom, in a bedroom, in any private area of a home. In a room where there were massages given Inappropriate I would say. I would define a photographic evidence.
Speaker 2:She's saying she was involved with everything. She's already been convicted of this crime. There is no reason to lie on her behalf. I mean, she's not getting anything out of it, you know, like at all. I mean, what's she getting out of it? She's not promised to leave. If she had this information against highly influential people and there were hidden cameras, wouldn't she use that as leverage and be like oh hey, donald Trump's the president, hey, I got video of you diddling kids in a safety deposit box that I'm going to call somebody and they're going to go pick up, unless you give me a pardon and get me out of here. Don't you think she'd be doing that? Don't you think Jeffrey Epstein would have been doing that? The other part, too, that you have to remember is like two weeks before he killed himself. He attempted to kill himself and failed All right. So remember that. Let's get back to these tapes here. Here is a report from ABC News.
Speaker 25:And then we begin with our top story this hour. The House Oversight Committee says the Department of Justice has turned over thousands of pages related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The committee is calling it a quote first production, seeing as the DOJ has only partially made good with delivering the files days late on its Tuesday deadline. Made good with delivering the files days late on its Tuesday deadline. House Oversight Chairman James Comer was directed with the subpoena, or he was directed to subpoena the material after a bipartisan vote by the committee last month. Meanwhile, the Justice Department has released the transcript and audio from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch's closed-door interview with Epstein's co-conspirator Glenn Maxwell last month. Abc News Washington DC Bureau Managing Editor Catherine Falders and ABC legal contributor Bernarda Villalona join me now for more on this. And, catherine, I want to start with you. What do we know about what's being handed over today and when will the remainder of these files be delivered?
Speaker 13:Well, it's a good question. We don't know exactly what the Department of Justice hasn't turned over to the House Oversight Committee Remember what the House.
Speaker 6:Oversight.
Speaker 13:Committee was requesting was the full and unredacted Epstein files, if you will, that large tranche of documents that the FBI and DOJ conducted their review over and then decided back in July that they wouldn't be releasing any more of those publicly. That's what the committee is requesting Now. What we do know has been turned over, at least in part, is the interview that the deputy attorney general, todd Blanch, did with Jeffrey Epstein's former associate, ghislaine Maxwell. That interview occurred. It was a highly unusual setting. It occurred last month over nine hours. The Department of Justice has turned over that transcript and that audio to Congress and now has released that publicly. So that is at least one highly anticipated document that has now been released publicly by the Department of Justice. So exactly what the department hasn't turned over to Congress, what they intend to withhold, whether that's for any privileged information or for victims' names or what have you.
Speaker 2:That's such a load of crap, man, that's such a load of crap. That's always been a load of crap. Oh, I don't want to turn it over to because of the victims. Listen, if the victim is making accusations against the citizen, whether they're guilty or not, okay, that should be public information. They pulled the same frigging stupid crap with grand juries. Oh, the grand jury meeting secret. Why, this is how a grand jury works.
Speaker 2:Okay, a police officer goes to the district attorney or the state attorney or the attorney general's office and says, hey, listen, this person committed this crime. We want a warrant for their arrest, or they just arrest them at the crime scene and then they arrest them. Then the prosecutor or the district attorney, assistant attorney general, they take the evidence to a grand jury and all of the evidence gets presented to a grand jury and then the grand jury says, yes, indict them, or no, don't, don't indict them. The indictment percentage is like 100 percent. That's where the saying comes that a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich. But all of these conversations in the frigging grand jury room are confidential. So what if the prosecutor is just making crap up and gets an indictment illegally? You think that doesn't happen? I mean you think that doesn't happen? It happens every day. Of course it does.
Speaker 2:There was just an attorney in a murder trial who had to apologize for using AI to generate text messages that she presented as evidence. That was not real, because they don't care about the truth. They care about convicting you. If it's your job to convict you, that's all they care about. So the Ghislaine Maxwell the transcripts are out. They're about 12 hours long with all of them. All right, I have some snippets here we're going to listen to. Here's a clip from Fox News. Let's watch this.
Speaker 16:If you were to take Ghislaine Maxwell at her word here and I think all of us, you will and the rest of the esteemed panel are looking at this like come on, we understand that there's likely a lot being held back or outright falsehood at this point, although it'd be tough to prove some of those falsehoods, it depends. This is, I think, a moment where we have to ask hold on a second. If she's unmotivated here to tell the truth, what are we going to get out of this? And I think that that's where you have to see other aspects of this trial coming together, because she's telling us that, essentially, the only criminality that occurred here was Jeffrey Epstein's, that he hid, that even she who was so close to him didn't know about. It's just not credible. It's just not credible. That part of it, I think, is where it most obviously falls apart. If you were to take Ghislaine Maxwell, she's saying that she does not believe that Jeffrey.
Speaker 6:FD killed himself. Ghislaine Maxwell Well today.
Speaker 2:Does she actually believe that? I mean, I really don't know. He did not die by suicide. This is this is the recording of her saying that.
Speaker 6:So you think he did not die by suicide? Given all the things we just talked about, I do not believe he died by suicide. No, and do you believe?
Speaker 26:that. Do you have any speculation or view of who killed him?
Speaker 24:No, I don't killed him. I no, I don't. I certainly never witnessed president in any of I don't recall ever seeing him in his house. For instance, I actually never saw the president in any type of massage setting. I never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way. The president was never inappropriate with anybody. In the times that I was with him he was a gentleman in all respects.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's what she's saying. Is she saying that because it's the truth about Donald Trump? Or is she saying that because she's hoping he'll give him a pardon as long as she plays balls, plays balls, plays ball. So, but she doesn't believe that he killed himself. At least that's what she's saying. Here's more audio. Let's listen to this. This one's pretty interesting.
Speaker 24:I do not.
Speaker 6:And do you remember, would you have been the one to do that, or would somebody else have done that?
Speaker 24:I did ask some people. I don't remember Mr Trump, I don't remember who I did ask, but Epstein also asked people himself directly. So it could have happened that way, if it happened at all.
Speaker 12:If it happened at all 12 hours of audio. Excuse me, I was incorrect. Tom Winters back with us. 12 hours of audio? She doesn.
Speaker 6:I was incorrect, tom Winters back with us 12 hours of audio. She doesn't recall a lot, so do not recall. Is really difficult to challenge from a standpoint of perjury, lying, those type of things. It's just, I don't remember, so you can't prove that I lied to you. If I can't tell you what I had for lunch last Thursday, I probably can't. But on the other hand, if you're asking me what I had for lunch today, there would be evidence in the trash can of my office and it might be a little bit more difficult to prove for me to not prove otherwise that I would have known about that.
Speaker 2:So this is what's wrong with the media. Just because there's food in my trash can, doesn't mean that I'm the one that ate it, unless you have video surveillance saying I was the only person there that day, that would be different. So Ghislaine Maxwell is saying that Donald Trump is 100% innocent. He was not involved in anything. Couple of things. Yeah, donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were neighbors. Number one, number two the massage therapist one of the victims. The massage therapist one of the victims. I'm going to just Google this. I can't really do two things at once. I apologize, virginia, virginia, jeffrey, right.
Speaker 2:So she put out a post on X saying she's one of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Here I'm going to pull this up so you can see. These are some of the suspicious things. This is her with Prince Andrew okay, famous picture. She's one of the victims. She's been vocal. She put out on Twitter that I feel like my life is in danger. I am not suicidal If anything happens to me. Just know I did not commit suicide. That's not a quote, that's just a generalization of what she said. But she came out and said that, okay, and you know what happened. Shortly after that, she, frigging, committed suicide, allegedly All right, this girl used to work at Mar-a-Lago for Donald Trump. This is one of the things that is not helping him with this situation.
Speaker 2:Obviously, donald Trump has a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Donald Trump did ban. This is on record. He banned Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago permanently over inappropriate behavior towards women and underage women. He banned him and kicked him out ofago. I don't think Donald Trump did anything at all, because if he did, it would have been another charge they would have been able to throw on him when they were throwing charges at him left and right. It doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. If the left had access to all these Epstein files, they had the FBI that was rating him over classified documents. They never did anything over Jeffrey Epstein. It's BS. The story's not there. Donald Trump didn't do anything. Even Ghislaine Maxwell herself says Donald Trump didn't do anything.
Speaker 2:You could make the argument that she's doing that to get on his good side, to get a pardon, but that's freaking reach. I don't. I don't think there's much to the epstein story at all. I think when you keep things a secret, they catastrophize themselves. Okay. So when you keep secrets, the, the, the legend become, they grow out of control. That's what happens when you keep grand jury indictments closed and it makes everybody suspicious. And now donald trump stuck with this because he promised he was going to release the epstein files, which they're being as transparent as possible.
Speaker 2:They released the video from the holding cell. They released the transcript from the doj. You know, you could say that, hey, she could have used that as leverage if she did see him inappropriately and if she didn't get her way, he would give he needs to give her a pardon. I mean, I don't know it is. There are things that are suspicious, but when you look at the totality of the circumstances, it's just not there for me. I've been wrong before and I will own it if I am, but the United States has basically declared war on the drug cart. Fentanyl addiction, cocaine addiction, whatever it's a problem. Hundreds of thousands of people are dying from these fentanyl and fentanyl accidental deaths. I mean, kids are touching it and they're dying because their mom had it on one of their drugs or their aunt had it on one of their drugs. The cartels continue to smuggle it into the United States.
Speaker 2:The Trump administration. What they have done is they have classified the drug cartels as a terrorist organization. That is new. That's never been done before. There's only one reason to classify somebody as a terrorist organization. That is new, that's never been done before. There's only one reason to classify somebody as a terrorist organization and that is that you're going to just wipe them off the map. So I'm getting word and a couple other people podcasters, investigative journalists are getting word that mid-September we're going to see a military action against the drug cartels. You that listen to me, you know I fully am like basically anti-war with this. Let's go to town. This is a situation where the United States would actually be 100% justified in sending the military in to take these organizations out. I mean, this needs to be done. They're murdering our people would be a situation where the United States would be completely just and throwing the entire United States Marine Corps in clearing houses door to door, room by room, and murking frigging drug cartel drug lords. Let's listen to the news story about the Navy destroyers deployed to Venezuela.
Speaker 26:Now there are three guided missile destroyers deploying off the coast of Venezuela. It's all part of President Trump's plan to help combat drug cartels in Latin America. For more. Now we are joined by national security correspondent Liz Landers, who's been tracking all of this. And Liz, what is the US plan in Venezuela?
Speaker 12:Yeah, andrew. Well, while the world has been focused on these peace talks that President Trump is attempting to broker between Russia and Ukraine, the US has slowly been building up a large military presence in the Caribbean, near Venezuela. A source familiar told Scripps News that the move is part of President Donald Trump's effort to combat those threats from Latin American drug cartels. The source confirming to Scripps News that three US guided missile destroyers the USS Gravely, uss Jason Dunham and the USS Samson are being deployed in these efforts.
Speaker 2:So when I was stationed I was stationed at Kingsway, Georgia, when I did the nuclear weapon security. That's where the United States Navy's Atlantic Fleet of Nuclear Weapons is there was a Marine there who was there before, right before I was there. He had just left. He went over overseas. He was standing post. A terrorist got out of a car, dropped a grenade. He jumped on the grenade and shielded everybody around him. His name was Jason Dunham. Okay, that's who this ship is named after. Just a fun fact.
Speaker 12:Hell of a marine Also reporting that the ship should arrive there imminently, off the coast of Venezuela. So this will bring the military posture to about 4,000 sailors and marines, and the broader region will also have several P-8 spy planes, warships and at least one attack submarine that, according to Reuters, now Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked about the US military going after drug traffickers late last week.
Speaker 23:Listen to what he said there are designated narco-terrorist groups operating in the region, some of them utilizing international airspace, international waters to transmit poison into the United States, and those groups will be confronted. The president's made that clear from the time he operated.
Speaker 12:Venezuelan President, nicolas Maduro, announcing on Monday that his country will mobilize more than 4 million militia members, saying that the militias will be quote prepared. Four million militia members, saying that the militias will be quote prepared, activated and armed throughout Venezuela. So he said in this televised address on Monday that we will quote defend our seas, our skies and our lands. We liberated them, we guard and patrol them.
Speaker 2:No empire will touch the sacred soil of Venezuela, nor should it touch. So she, she, she misrepresented the p8. She called it a spy plane. It's not a spy plane, it's a sub hunter. So what cartels do is cartels. They have submarines, like literally submarines that they stuff full of cocaine or whatever and then they smuggle them into into various countries. The p8 is a sub hunter so it was specifically designed to hunt down russian submarines which are, like the united states, are nuclear capable so their p8s and are off the coast of jackson, florida, out of the Naval Air Station NAS Jacksonville. The subhunters are out there all the time. They're looking for enemy submarines off the coast to see if the Russians are in striking distance. That's literally somebody's MOS in the military that they do all the time. These guys are being forward deployed to search for drug sub hunters. The destroyers are going to launch missiles into and start they're going to start doing missile strikes on drug cartel leaders, kingpins, this is the stuff that's going to come. This has to happen. This should have happened years ago.
Speaker 2:So what we did with the war on drugs with ronald reagan is we went after the users and the I mean primarily the users and the small time dealers. You got to go to the source, and taking out the source of all the redistribution is what's going to finally put an end to it. The problem is, is the United States of America is compromised. The CIA makes a ton of money. Cia agents who are, who have infiltrated the drug cartels, are getting frigging money, dude, and they're getting frigging money. They're, they're, they're drug kingpins, sending back information, but they're living that lie. So there's, there's, there's. The drug cartels have so much money that if we're, they know we're coming.
Speaker 2:I'm interested to see what they're going to do. I am If they're just going to lay down their guns and run away, which I think is a probability, because there's a difference when you fight for money and when you fight for principle. When you're fighting for principle, it's different. For principle, it's different when you're a post 9-11 Marine and you want to go freaking, kill every terrorist that exists on earth. That's different than the guy who's like oh, I'm here for free college. There's different. There's principle. There's, you know. Or the Islamic jihadist fighter that came into Iraq and to Fallujah from Libya. Right, those are different. Okay, is it drug cartel? Do they have really something that they fight and believe for I don't think so. I don't think they're going to put up too much of a fight. They might. I would be surprised. I would bet that most of them run away, but I'm sure a lot of them are going to be hopped up on. Whatever the heck it is they're selling are?
Speaker 1:going to be hopped up on, whatever the heck it is they're selling. There was a ceasefire proposal put forward by both Qatar and Egypt. Hamas accepted it on Monday. Israel has yet to officially weigh in. I'm wondering if the US was at all involved in it, if it's supportive of it and whether or not the president believes Israel should accept it.
Speaker 3:I don't think it's a coincidence that Hamas accepted this proposal after the president of the United States posted a very strong statement about this conflict on Truth Social yesterday. I would refer you back to that statement. As for this proposal that Hamas has now accepted, the United States continues to discuss it and I'll let the president weigh in on it definitively. You're welcome, sure.
Speaker 3:Can you describe the president's perspective on taking a stake in Intel in exchange for federal grants, and is this a Manufacturing that's critical to our national and economic security that is, especially in regards to chips and semiconductors which wants to put America's needs first, both from a national security and economic perspective, and it's a creative idea that has never been done before, to ensure that we're both reshoring these critical supply chains while also gaining something of it for the American taxpayer. You're welcome, emily.
Speaker 1:Thanks, Caroline.
Speaker 2:I wanted to ask about the three US warships that are being sent to Venezuela.
Speaker 3:There's 4,000 Marines on board Are you looking at possibility of boots on the ground there. What I will say with respect to Venezuela? President Trump has been very clear and consistent. He's prepared to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into our country and to bring those responsible to justice. The Maduro regime is not the legitimate government of Venezuela. It is a narco-terror cartel and Maduro it is the view of this administration is not a legitimate president. He is a fugitive head of this cartel who has been indicted in the United States for trafficking drugs into the country.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean you. In a situation like this, you have to put boots on the ground. You have to surgically remove people and terrorists Like you have to take them out of the situation. You can't just bomb them and then say okay, because somebody else is just going to take over. You have to completely do that. And this guy is running the whole country. He works for the cartel. They're compromised. These governments are compromised. The Mexican government is compromised. They're our border. They're a border country. They're compromised. The Mexican government is compromised. They're our border. They're a border country. They're compromised.
Speaker 2:You're going to have to send troops in man and I fully support it. I do. I think it's worth the risk. The reward outweighs the risk.
Speaker 2:You know it's hard to say. It's really hard to talk about. Maybe we may lose a couple of troops or thousands of them. That's a hard pill to swallow. Trust me, I've been there. That's a hard pill to swallow.
Speaker 2:But hundreds of thousands of Americans are being killed by this, by these people, every year. And I'm not talking about the person who chooses to take drugs and put them in their bodies. I'm talking about the people who chooses to take drugs and put them in their bodies. I'm talking about the people that just breathe it in because it's in the air. Or the little boy or little girl who goes to grab their mommy's purse and she has some pill in there with fentanyl and they just touch it with their hand and they overdose and die. Is the parent responsible? Yeah, 100%. Is the person who knowingly chooses to put that in their own body responsible? Yeah, 100%. But you could stop it all and stop the countless deaths, because it's cyclical. Addiction is cyclical. It's passed down from generation to generation. Trust me, I could guarantee you that it's passed down from generation to generation. It is. You have to stop it, and if you could cut off the freaking supply, you could literally stop it. Yeah, will people find other things to do? Absolutely, and we'll deal with it then. But the sheer amount of American carnage that comes from the drug cartels should be handled.
