d a S thank you to our pro democracy sponsors right there. The discount codes for all of them are in the description below. And we do spend a lot of time. Jordi leads the way on this working with those sponsors. They help support the growth of this network. And the discount codes, Jordi works out with them. So you know they're good discount codes. They help the show. So check them out when the show ends or whenever. Just, you know, you go to the description, you'll see the link and then you'll see the discount codes. A few things I want to mention too. So right now we've seen the Haifa energy facility in Israel burning. It was struck by a drone. It's their biggest energy facility there in the Haifa region and that was recently hit by Iran. Lots of the diplomatic sources are saying that the US continues to try to reach out to Iran's foreign minister Iraqi, in order to try to have some sort of ceasefire or see if Iran will let off a little bit in these Strait of Hormuz. But all of the sourcing that we and others have had so far is that Iran has been ignoring this and they don't want to speak with the United States right now. I just truly don't know how you can even negotiate with Donald Trump. Trump, whether you're Iran or anybody, the moment, I mean, and set aside what, set aside what Iran says. Let's just agree to this for a second. Let's do this. Let's agree everything Iran says is BS and let's agree everything that Trump says is bs. Push it aside, right? So how do we get out the truth if we're a network like ours, how do we try to understand which side is telling us the truth? Where? Let's just say we believe both sides are lying. Right. So the first thing I want to look at is who is the mediator in the room and who selected the mediator. A mediator is a neutral party that's supposed to try to negotiate resolutions between the two sides. So I go, okay, it was a foreign minister of Oman, a very well respected individual, and he was selected by the United States to be the negotiation. So the US Picked this guy from Oman. So what is he saying? Well, he says that there was a deal on the table on that fateful night in late February where there were huge strides to make a deal with Iran, that the deal was even stronger than Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, that there were technical details that needed to be worked out on that following Monday, and that everybody was prepared for another working session that Monday. So a neutral party is telling us that there were, that there was progress in the negotiation. By the way, in the Economist that foreign minister of Oman had just, he just wrote an article in the past 48 hours saying now the US is trapped, even though Oman has been hit by Iran or at least groups linked by Iran. He says the way the US has fought this war, it was the only possible outcome right now. Because when you say you're going to decapitate a regime, the regime that you're going to decapitate is going to do everything it can to stay alive. So the Oman foreign minister said, I understand, although we certainly don't like it, we certainly deplore that Iran striking the Arab nations where there are American interests, when it becomes a matter of existential survival for a regime that they're going to have to do things, they're doing everything they can to survive and survival is the win. When you have Trump and Netanyahu at least originally saying this was about regime change, right then you also have the national security advisor for the United Kingdom who was in the room as well, and he also describes the event as, or the mediation as that there was a resolution that was there stronger than the Obama deal. We didn't need to be in a war. It would have been a big win for Donald Trump. But then Trump and Netanyahu rushed into this war, and the British national Security advisor, like the Oman foreign minister, both essentially said, and I'm not making this a direct quote, but that Witkoff and Kushner were compromised by Netanyahu and they were basically serving as agents of Israel. And again, I'm not using specific language, and I'm being a little bit. They didn't use that. Those specific words, but essentially that was, in my opinion, what they were basically implying that they were going to do whatever Israel wanted to do, which is why the British sent somebody in the first place, the national security advisor, to try to monitor this, what was happening, and to try to, you know, create at least some intellectual guardrails on what was taking place. Apparently at the mediation, you had Witkoff and Kushner continuing to just talk about their floor and shine shoes. You know, how Donald Trump buys these people these Florensheim shoes. He guesses your shoe size, and then regardless of if it's your actual shoe size, he makes you wear the shoes of whatever size. So if you're a 10 and he guesses you're a 12, he buys you a 12 Florence shoe, and you have to wear it. So he's like has Rubio and Witkoff and cushion his whole. Everybody wears these shoes. And so they were, like, joking with the Iranian diplomats about the Florence shoes. That's what people in the room were saying, you know, took place. And everybody believed that there was going to be this Monday session to. To dig into some of the technical details. Why am I bringing all this up again? Because how would Iran even go about negotiating with Trump or Witkoff or Kushner right now? Like, how would you do it? If you wanted to do it, how would you do it? Because any negotiation will just be used as a way to try to kill you, Right? Like, if we were in a mediation, and every time there was a mediation, I don't want to make it deeply personal. If you were in. If someone was in a mediation with someone, and every time you showed up in the room, somebody tried to shoot you, you wouldn't. You just wouldn't show up in the room anymore, right? Like, where would you even have the mediation? Like, if you're the foreign minister and you go to a location, don't you think that Netanyahu is probably just going to blow it up. Like if you even return the phone call, don't you think that it'll just be used as a way of bugging your location to find out where you are and then blow up the entire building where you are regardless of if 100 or a thousand civilians die? Like, don't you think that that's what. So I don't even know how you can even have discussions with the United States on anything. And this is what I was saying a year ago, plus about Donald Trump's tariffs against the world, right? I mean, Donald Trump will negotiate. Well, he doesn't negotiate anything. But he took NAFTA and then he made it into the United States, Mexico, Canada agreement in like 2018, 2019, a free trade agreement. And then he says that USMCA is the stupidest deal ever. And it's like, well, that was your updated version of NAFTA because you just wanted to say that, you know, put your name on it basically. And there are all these videos of you saying the usmca, what a beautiful name during your first term. And now you say that that's not even a deal. I mean, you did free trade deals with Japan and others in Asia. Then you just rip it apart. He's not a rational actor. He is a fraud like he's been his entire life. And he's covering up the Epstein files. And I don't want to lose sight of his cover up of the Epstein files because I know that there's a lot of news taking place. But there are some major developments in the Epstein files that I think are important to mention, obviously, you know, to include in this episode because we know Trump wants to distract from that. So one of the things that Trump has ordered Todd Blanche, his deputy AG to do is to block a dea, the drug Enforcement agencies report that they did jointly with the DOJ as part of this group called the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, which has since been basically, you know, removed from the DOJ. But there's this 69 page target profile of Epstein's money laundering and drug trafficking ring that went alongside his sex trafficking ring. And there's 12 other people and two businesses that were identified as being a part of this billion dollar money laundering scheme by Epstein. So we now learn that Todd Blanche has concealed that document. That document the DOJ is refusing to release. One of the things that is deeply concerning, among other things regarding kind of Donald Trump's Epstein relationship, in addition to, you know, obviously all of the COVID up of Epstein sex trafficking ring by the DOJ right now is when Donald Trump acquired this property in a foreclosure sale in West Palm beach that Epstein was going to bid on. And Trump sold it to a Russian oligarch four years later for $95 million and doubled the money. And Epstein was calling Donald Trump out for financial shenanigans. And I'm putting shenanigans there. You could describe it however you want to describe it, but that's what they're falling out was about. Remember during Bill Clinton's deposition, Bill Clinton said that Donald Trump told him the fallout was over this real estate deal. It was over this West Palm beach property that Trump sold for 2x the value to a Russian oligarch. And there were questions, you know, was that Russia moving their money here? What was happening? Why did this? And by the way, the Russian guy demolished the place a few years, a few years later. So, you know, the fact that there's a money laundering report and report about drug trafficking with many people, and that's not being produced, I mean, that's deeply alarming. And then yesterday, I did a whole report on this. You should go watch the report. Pam Bondi gave 24 hours notice that she was gonna voluntarily appear before the House Oversight Committee as a way of her trying to avoid her congressional testimony. She's been subpoenaed for mid April, where she has her deposition supposed to be taken by the House Oversight Committee. And I was like, all right. The fact that they had to subpoena her shows that she wasn't voluntarily showing up. And I was like, okay, what scheme are they going to pull to try to get her out of it? What's James Comer's game plan? Here, here. And their game plan was they have her show up voluntarily. And she wanted to give, like, an update on the Epstein files, but it was some, like, scripted bs. And the Democrats, like, we really don't care about this. We just want to know, are you going to show up and testify under oath on April 14? And she wouldn't commit to that. So the Democrats stormed out because they're like, we're not taking place. We're not taking part in this crap. You're going to show up pursuant to a subpoena, and you're going to testify under oath. We're not going to give you cover for what you're doing here. Which is obviously you're going to say, well, I briefed the House Oversight Committee. Don't have to show up in April because I just showed up. Why would you need me to show up? So she was using this as a way to then object to the subpoena. And the Democrats smartly said, we're leaving. Because if they stayed, they would be giving credence to what she was going to say about why she didn't have to show up. That was their plan, right? Because she would say, oh, I already briefed him, so now the subpoena is inappropriate. And why'd she only give 24 hours notice to the Democrats? Because the Democrats would not have been okay with showing up if there was actually thorough notice. And the Democrats could ask, well, why are you showing up? Because she wanted to use the existence of this fake sham hearing to then make a legal battle against the subpoena. Democrats saw what was happening. I got to give credit to Congressmember Garcia because he has been very aggressive and he did not fall victim to that trap. And he just said to the Democrats, get out. And the Republicans were like, well, this is what the Democrats wanted all along. They just want to storm out. She was trying to be helpful. They just want to do this for the media. And it was like, boom, you smoked out so good. Because that was their plan the whole time. And don't you dare invoke the name of the victims while you're covering up all of these reports and 3 million documents still have not been produced. How dare you invoke the name of the survivors and the victims, you disgusting pieces of trash. You. We know exactly what you all are up to. Don't you dare even say the word victims or survivors, you sick predator cover uppers. You gross grotesque species. Grotesque invasive species. And then there was this document right here that I'll share with you. That was the redactions were removed by Democratic Congress member Dan Goldman. So hat tip to him right here. So remember that document that people were saying that involved an email from Jeffrey Epstein to Ghislaine Matthew Maxwell and they were forwarding a message that Donald Trump's lawyer had sent. But this whole document was redacted. Well, here it is. It's dated October 14, 2009. And you'll see it's from Jeffrey Epstein to Ghisain Maxwell. And then there is a forward of a notes from a conversation with Alan Garton, Trump's attorney. So what did Alan Garton say? Alan Garten was asked, was Jeffrey Epstein ever expelled from Mar A Lago? Trump's attorney responds, no, he was not a member, may have been a guest, never asked to leave. What do you know about was Trump ever at Epstein's house? I may have Been there with my wife. Then it goes on to say, any young girls there? No. May have been a children of guests, but that's it right there. And then Trump specifically asked Garten to advise us of the interview. Brad had also previously talked to manager of Mar A Lago, Bort Kempke. Kempke confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein was never asked to leave Mar A Lago. So remember all of Trump's thing, I kicked him out of Mar A Lago. Remember what the Republicans said? I kicked him out of Mar A Lago. Well, now, the document, one of the ones that they were covering up that Dan Goldman just exposed, and you got to give him credit for exposing the document. That's an important document, right? Donald Trump's own lawyer, you saw for yourself. What did he say? He said Donald Trump never kicked him out. I'm just reading you what the document says. So anyone go, Donald Trump kicked him out. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. All right, we've covered a lot. Can you all do me a quick favor here as well after this ends, like right away, the other video we posted about the congressional hearings today, I guess it was missing sound and it was getting a lot of views, even though there was, even though there was no sound to it.
