We previously reported here about how right-wing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas unlawfully received millions of dollars in gifts, which he unlawfully never reported, by a billionaire right-wing benefactor by the name of Harlan Crowe, who lives in Dallas. Well, we are now learning some shocking revelations about this right-wing billionaire Harlan Crowe, who gave Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas all of these lavish gifts. Well, one of the first things we've learned about Harlan Crowe is that back in 2011, he donated about $500,000 to an organization created by

Ginny Thomas called Liberty Central, and she received about $150,000 a year of salary from that amount. That was originally cast as an anonymous donation, although from reporting, we now know that to be Harlan Crowe. Number two, we know that Harlan Crowe is perhaps one of the biggest collectors of Nazi memorabilia and Adolf Hitler paraphernalia and Adolf Hitler art. We will talk about that in a moment. He also has what he calls a garden of evil at his mansion in Dallas, where he has statutes of all of these dictators and individuals who have been engaged in genocide. He has that in his backyard. And the third is that his brother, Trammell Crow Jr., has been linked in a new lawsuit,

and Trammell Crow Jr. denies the allegations, but he has been accused of financing a sex trafficking ring. And we will read from you the lawsuit that was recently filed against Trammell Crow Jr. Just so you know, who is this Harlan Crow? Is he a self-made billionaire? No. His father is Fred Trammell Crow. And Fred Trammell Crow was one of the wealthiest real estate developers. And so Harlan Crow and Trammell Crow Jr., his brother, his family, they inherited all of their money. They are Nepo babies, and that's where their money comes from. So I just want to talk about that from the outset. All right, let's go to this Politico article from 2011. You got to really go back with some of this research. So from this Politico article from February 4th, 2011, Justice Thomas Weiss becomes a

lobbyist. She's now a lobbyist. And this is what the article talked about. At first, it didn't seem the attention affected Thomas's efforts to build Liberty Central. She assembled an impressive staff and board while circulating among major conservative establishment donors with whom she and her husband had long, close relationships. Politico has learned, for instance, that the initial $500,000 contribution came from Dallas real estate investor Harlan Crowe, a major GOP donor who held an event for Liberty Central at his home a few months after the group

launch. He also once gave Justice Thomas a $19,000 Frederick Douglass Bible as a gift and donated $150,000 to build a new wing named for Thomas on a Savannah, Georgia library that Clarence Thomas visited frequently in his youth. You go through this article in a little bit, and it talks about how Leonard Leo, an executive at the conservative Federalist Society, he now heads the Federalist Society, who is a longtime friend of the Thomases, sits on Liberty Central's board. Well, around this time in 2011, what was one of the major rulings that the Supreme Court was focused on that the Federalist Society and a lot of these billionaire corporate executives were pushing. Oh yeah, Citizens United. So let me get this straight. Back in 2011, you have Harlan Crowe giving $500,000 to some startup organization by a Supreme Court justice's wife, which is directly paying her

about $150,000 a year. One of the people on the board of her organization is the head of the Federalist Society, who was pushing the Citizens United case for unlimited campaign donations by corporations. And in 2010, that is precisely and exactly what the Supreme Court ultimately ruled right around this time that all of these communications were taking place. All right, I think I got that right. So that's revelation number one. Revelation number two, let's go to this Washingtonian article. Clarence Thomas's billionaire benefactor collects Hitler artifacts. And the article goes on to explain how Harlan Crow lives a quiet life in Dallas among his historical collection. These collections include Hitler artifacts, two of his paintings of European

cityscapes, a signed copy of Mein Kampf, an assorted Nazi memorabilia, plus a garden full of statues of the 20th century's worst despots. So here's an example of a set of Nazi linens displayed in Harlan Crowe's home. Here is a photograph of a Nazi artifact on display in Harlan Crow's home. Here is a photograph of a Hitler created painting in Harlan Crow's home. And you see the signature on the bottom of it says, you know, it's Adolf Hitler signed it. And then he's got this statue garden. He calls it the Garden of Evil is what he calls it oh here's uh adolf hitler's teapots engraved with swastika and hitler's initials there's the garden of evil with all of the evil despots all right so that is revelation number two when harlan crowe and you know all of these and all of these right-wingers go, oh, he just collects these things so that he could reflect on how bad they were.

And that's why he collects them. Really? Really? All right. Now, the third revelation, this is an article that we just pulled up, and this is from the Dallas Express and also from the Washington editor says billionaire linked to Sarah Ferguson accused of financing sex trafficking ring. Trammell Crow Jr., who reportedly met with the Duchess on his Texas ranch this year, faces a lawsuit from two women. And then you go on to read the article and it says the women claim that in exchange for cipher financial support richard hubbard would supply drugs for crow's parties would force julia hubbard to have sex with crow's

then girlfriend in front of crow would force guden house to have sex in front of crow and would traffic other victims to crow's forced sex parties julia Hubbard also claims that she appealed to Crow directly to stop this abuse, but he took no action and instead served as the conduit to bring other co-investors and clients into the scheme. Among these alleged co-investors was Ko Jurak, named as a senior managing director of Crow Holdings Capital in the court documents. The complaint asserts that Jurasek was well compensated as an employee of Crow in part to maintain his silence regarding what he knew about Crow's forced sex parties. The woman also claimed that Richard Hubbard employed the services of Texas Ranger Cody Mitchell to threaten them with arrests under false charges and discourage

them from seeking the help of law enforcement. I should note, though, that Trammell Crow Jr. denies these claims and has stated he will be filing a motion to dismiss regarding those claims. And then, of course, you go back to our reporting and the reporting by ProPublica, which just did an incredible job unearthing these millions of dollars in gifts that were given to Clarence Thomas by Harlan Crow. And we're talking about, for more than two decades, every summer, a massive jet, a Bombardier 5000. we're talking about the top of the line private jet, would be basically used to shuttle Clarence Thomas around wherever. Clarence Thomas, according to the ProPublica reporting and flight records, would take this thing to New Haven, Connecticut, the trip alone, $70,000 if you compare that with just what Bombardiers charge other private people.

He could have, Clarence Thomas could have taken a train. He could have driven there. I mean, heck, he was in Washington, D.C. He's not that far away. Then he would take it to Texas a lot to hang out with Harlan Crow. Every summer, they'd go on these lavish trips to the Greek Islands and in Indonesia, you know, and taking that private jet. Then they would get whisked around in Harlan Crowe's super yacht called the Mikaela, where there was private chef and

around-the-clock staff. And then you got Clarence Thomas would then give these statements to the press. You know, I'm just a humble guy. I prefer to hang out in RV parks. I prefer to hang out in the parking lots of Walmart. I kid you not. That's what Clarence Thomas would say whenever he was asked about, just in general, about what do you like to do on your free time i'm a humble guy i'm i'm i come from i forget what he said you know along the lines of

that which is utterly um absurd and then uh they go to this camp called top ridge that was owned by harlan crowe and then there were like, a massive mural when you got there to this top-rich camp of Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crowe and Leonard Leo, the head of the Federalist Society, and Mark Paletta, who worked in the Trump administration as the general counsel for the Office of Management and Budget, was there. And Paletta basically serves as a consultant to the Supreme Court or to Thomas to try to stop any types of oversight over the Supreme Court justice. I mean, the corruption knows no low. The depths of depravity here is so utterly disgusting. And then you learn these new revelations, essentially funding the career of Justice Clarence Thomas's wife,

and specifically around the time when Citizens United was ultimately ruled. And I think the ruling of Citizens United came out in 2010. And just so you know what Liberty Central was that Ginny Thomas wanted to create, she wanted to link, this was their goal, this was their mission statement in essence, to basically link mainstream Republicans with the Tea Party and kind of bridge the gaps there. So this whole plan of mainstreaming insurrectionists was a long-term plan and plot brought to you by the biggest collector, one of the biggest collectors of Adolf Hitler paintings and Nazi memorabilia, whose brother is in a lawsuit accusing him of sex trafficking, again, which he denies.

But that's just what the facts are here, folks, about what is going on. And do not both sides this, because this ain't coming from both sides. This is coming from one side. These are Republicans. These are MAGA Republicans. And this is finally what I'll say. And I've said this before on the Midas Touch Network. I've said it before on the podcast. Just think about it this way. If you put to the entire country a vote of who should be Supreme Court justices, if you did

a nationwide vote, I think you would have a nine to nothing court of justices who were more aligned with the Democratic backed positions. I think you'd have common sense gun reform. I think you would have justices supporting free and fair elections. Women can control their bodies, so forth. All of these issues, all of these issues where the American people stand, you have right-wing billionaire interests and right-wing billionaire-backed judges and politicians trying to do the exact opposite of where the American interests are.
