Hello, I'm a double. The guy! I'm a double. Welcome to TYT. I'm your host, Anna Kasparian, and you are in for two full hours of Anna Solo.

So I hope you guys are looking forward to that. We will be having a bonus episode for our members, and it will be behind a paywall. So members obviously will have access to that. If you're not a member, you can become one by going to t-y-t.com slash join. Really looking forward to the show today. We're going to talk about a lot of really important topics. In fact, I had a really hard time putting the rundown together because I think there were a lot of important stories that were pitched by our incredible

producers that we just didn't have enough time to fit into today's show. But I think one of the most important stories of the day that probably isn't getting as much attention as it should be getting has to. to do with foreign corporate landlords and the various foreign companies and war crimes that they're engaged in. It is insane. That story by the nation is fantastic. But before I get to any of that, I do want to just say something kind of off the cuff. You know, today I really, really enjoyed having a conversation with a young man in Brooklyn by the name of Joseph. He is an Orthodox Jew. And we connected and he was just kind of talking to me about how

important he finds it to unite the country, meaning the American electorate, the American people. It's not even about politics. It's just about getting to a place where we love and respect each other regardless of political differences, which by the way, I will admit, is one of the more challenging things to do because politics tends to have a lot to do with identity and values. And some people, of course, have views that don't see others as equal to them. And that's something that we should always fight back against. But what I loved about him was that, you know, we had a conversation, of course, about what's happening in Israel and Gaza. And if you know anything about Orthodox Jews, many of them are critical of the Zionist ideology. And he was just

such a delightful person and I really enjoy talking with him. And it again reminded me, not that I need to be reminded that anytime we're talking about the war crimes and atrocities that are being carried out by the Israeli government and the Israeli military, the IDF, it's important to understand that you can't conflate that with the entire Jewish population. And what I really appreciated was, I can't believe I'm about to say this, but it's just true, right? Sometimes things change, people change. And I really, really appreciated an hour-long monologue that Tucker Carlson did yesterday that focused specifically on that. Now, on the same episode, he also interviewed me. You can watch that if you'd like. But I think you should definitely watch the hour-long monologue he did because it was about the importance of avoiding this belief. in collective punishment. And so obviously that's come up a lot when it comes to the context of this genocide in Gaza.

But we should be thinking about that in terms of our own perception of the world around us and how collective punishment doesn't make sense. We should judge individuals rather than take individuals and use them as representatives of an entire population of people and then make a judgment on an entire population of people based on that. Anyway, let's get to our first story of the day. I wanted to talk a little bit about, well, what the future very likely holds for the American people in our alliance with Israel. So it turns out that Israel is basically looking to suck on the teeth of the American taxpayers in a new 20-year military deal, 20-year military.

deal that attempts to essentially appeal to individuals who have a very superficial surface level understanding of what America first means. So in other words, this proposal by the Israelis to the U.S. government uses lingo and rhetoric that's meant to kind of entice our government into agreeing and going along with this deal. So let's get to the details. Now Axios is Barack Ravid, who always gets the scoop due to his close ties and connection to the Israeli government reported that the proposal doubles the usual decade or 10-year-long deals that the United States has previously signed with Israel. Now, understand, when I say deal, this is what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the United States government, taking out debt, and then

providing resources to Israel to buy American-made weapons, to commit the atrocities they commit. It's that simple, right, for their security. We provide a nuclear power with, you know, $3.8 billion a year as a result of the previous 10-year deal that was signed under the Obama administration. That is actually set to expire in 28. However, the Israelis, would like to maybe rework that deal. And I'm pretty sure they're going to look for more than $3.8 billion. So there have been three 10-year framework agreements for long-term security assistance to Israel in 1998 to the tune of $21.3 billion. So that $21.3 billion, I want to be clear, is divided by 10, and every year they get a portion of that money. Then there was the deal

in 2008. I don't know how much of a deal this is. I mean, it's a great deal for Israel. It's not really much of a deal for the United States or the American people. Sure, our weapons manufacturers love it. They get to make money off of this. But understand it's a redistribution of wealth from American taxpayers to a tiny group of weapons manufacturers. Let's keep going. The other deal again, 2008, $32 billion. And in 2016, this was under Obama. $38 billion, okay? So that doesn't even account for the $30 billion additional dollars that were provided to Israel since October 7th in order for them to carry out, well, everything that we've been seeing in the Gaza Strip. But Israel, again, actually wants to amend the military funding

deal that's already in place, likely to get a little more cash out of us. So the current 10-year memorandum of understanding. That's what these so-called deals are called, signed in 2016. Under Barack Obama expires in 28, Israel wants to conclude the new deal over the next year. So, in regard to this new deal, Israel has floated two ideas, okay, two ideas for changes in the upcoming security agreement. Now, I say upcoming security agreement, because in my mind, this is just, it's going to happen. There's usually no debate about it. Now, more and more Americans are waking up and realizing, hey, why exactly are we providing all these resources to Israel, a country that's actually doing better than the United States economically speaking? How does that make any sense?

But these Americans aren't organized yet. There's more and more pressure toward members of Congress to reject these types of deals. It remains to be seen if it's going to be effective enough in time to prevent the Trump administration from going along with this. But in my mind, I don't want to be a defeatist, but it's true. I think that Israel is very likely going to get what they want. So the first proposal was extending the agreement from 10 to 20 years, 10 to 20 years, which would make it broader in scope and take the agreement through Israel's 100-year anniversary of the Nakpa, or independence, as they like to call it, in 248.

So no thank you to that. That's how I would respond if I were a United States, you know, member of Congress or Donald Trump, if I were the president of the United States. I mean, imagine having all that power that you could essentially use for good, but instead, well, we know what our government likes to do. This episode is brought to you by prize picks.

Now, the second change the Israelis proposed was to use some of the money for joint U.S. Israeli research and development rather than direct military aid.

So this is where the so-called America first nonsense comes in, and I don't think this is actually America first. This could be in the field of defense tech. So essentially working with Israel on defense, defense-related AI, no thank you, and the Golden Dome Missile Defense Project, an Israeli official said. Now, if you don't remember what the Golden Dome Defense Project is, President Donald Trump had floated the idea of the United States building a an iron dome-like missile defense system, which Israel is a tiny country. So the iron dome makes sense. It's a missile defense system that actually works and is effective for the most part because of the size of Israel. The United States is a little different.

It's a little different. But make no mistake about it, there's nothing America first about this. This is all about the United States, a country that's currently drowning in now 38, trillion dollars in debt, taking out more debt, handing over these resources to Israel so they can engage in their empire building and expansionist policies in the Middle East. And to that I say, no, I do not accept. Our government should not comply, but our government will comply. Although I will say, with all these leaks coming out, all the Jeffrey Epstein information we're getting about various powerful people, either currently in our government or formerly in our government,

Maybe with the cat out of the bag and without potential blackmail being used by Israel to get our lawmakers to go along with their, you know, genocidal regime, maybe they'll change their minds. Who knows? We'll see. I doubt it, but maybe. Now, how likely is it that Israel will get its way with this 20-year deal that, again, drives the United States into more debt on behalf of a foreign country and foreign. foreign military, very. And why do I say that? Well, interestingly enough, the Wall Street Journal also published a fascinating piece that I think coincides with what was just reported in Axios. It's titled, the Gaza War has been big business for U.S. companies. So I actually want to apologize to the audience because I have actually focused much of my ire toward the corruption in our government, the likely disgusting pedophiles in our government, and more importantly, the Israeli government having far too much influence over our politicians.

But you can't forget the fact, as, you know, I think I've done a poor job in drawing attention to this. You can't forget the fact that there are people in the United States who benefit handsomely from what's going on in the Middle East, from our so-called alliance with Israel. And those are defense contractors, weapons manufacturers. And that's exactly what the Wall Street Journal detailed in this piece. And so I want you guys all to remember that the Wall Street Journal has its editorial board, which is unhinged, super right wing. Their lips are like chafed from how much they kiss Israel's ass. So forget about them because they're separate from the news division, right? The news division actually sometimes puts out really, really great reporting. And this is an

example of that. So Benoit Falkin writes that the American company that has brought in the most Israeli business since the Gaza war began is Boeing. The U.S. greenlighted an $18.8 billion sale of Boeing F-15 strike fighters last year to Israel for delivery beginning in 2029. So it's not just, you know, A-PAC or other members of the Israel lobby influencing our politicians. Remember, Boeing's engaging in campaign donations. So are all the other defense contractors who are making quite a bit of money with what's happening in the Middle East, with these genocide in Gaza. Other companies that have secured approved weapon sales include Northrop Grumman, which provides spare parts for jet fighters. Lockheed Martin, a supplier of high-powered

precision missiles. In fact, let's check in with Lockheed Martin. How are they doing these days? Well, in its most recent annual report, Lockheed Martin said it had benefited from increased American defense funding related to Israel and Ukraine, notably munitions purchases, revenue at its missiles division rose 13% just last year to a whopping $12.7 billion. dollars. So it's a huge cash cow for these companies. The alliance that the United States has with Israel isn't really beneficial to the American people or quite frankly the American government with the exception of those who take the bribes and win their elections as a result of those bribes. But the people who really benefit from this alliance is the

Israeli government, those within the Israeli populace who thinks that, who thinks, who that the expansionist policy is the policy that makes sense, who feel entitled to stealing land in Gaza. They now occupy 58%. That's the latest report. Or the West Bank, where atrocities continue day after day, where Palestinians are driven out of their homes day after day. Israel's also occupying Lebanon, as we speak southern Lebanon, to be specific. Now, general dynamics, by the way, also is part of this. They are a defense contractor, weapons manufacturer, and they provide Israel with 120 millimeter shells for its Markava tanks. So let's take a quick look at this fun graph because it's going to help you visualize just how much money the United States has poured into Israel since October 7th.

That includes $18.9 billion for military aircrafts, $10.7 billion for missiles, $1.5 billion for military vehicles, and another $1 billion for artillery. And as we speak, the Trump administration is seeking congressional approval to provide another $6 billion in additional weapons to Israel. And that's according to the reporting in this piece by the Wall Street Journal. Think about what Trump is also up to simultaneously or has been up to simultaneously. He's been fighting tooth and nail to deny Americans their full snap benefits. I'm talking about Americans living in poverty who are having trouble feeding their families. And when you look at the average benefits, monthly or weekly benefit to SNAP recipients, it's peanuts, but he has a problem with that.

He's going to deny full benefits because of this whole government shutdown situation. God forbid, you know, our government tap into reserve funds in order to make Americans whole when our Congress is too incompetent to do its job. But when it comes to another $6 billion for Israel, I mean, Trump isn't debating it amongst members of his cabinet. He's trying to convince Congress to authorize it. And they will. Because one thing that I know about our Congress is they're not really efficient at doing

anything on behalf of the American people. But when it comes to war, when it comes to military spending, oh, they're real efficient. Real efficient. All right, let's get to our next story. This one, I'm not going to lie. It was really hard to read. It was hard to produce. And I woke up in a good mood today.

It put me in a really bad mood because it's heartbreaking to see how our people are being treated here on U.S. soil, how our government doesn't do anything to protect Americans from what's going on. And it's all being done by a corporation that isn't even an American corporation. It's a foreign corporation. So let's get to the details of this insane story. The 2007 recession was absolutely devastating for the American people. By the time we hit the year, I think it was 2010, about four million Americans had been driven out of their homes foreclosed on as a result of lenders engaging in these predatory loans and then packaging up those loans as securities and betting against them in the stock market because

they knew they were toxic loans. Absolutely disastrous for the American people. Again, four million Americans kicked out of their homes. But Joseph Lubick, who's a CEO of a corporate landlord that goes by the name American Landmark, and owns. apartment buildings in the United States, was actually super jazzed about it. He felt blessed. He felt blessed. Here's what he said in a 2023 interview with Ami Magazine. I was very blessed in 2007 when there was an economic crisis.

It was a good time to buy. Now look, we are learning more about American landmark. It's apparently an Israeli-owned company that owns massive swaths of U.S. U.S. real estate. And what I want to know is why is that allowed, especially when you consider the fact that this Israeli-owned company also has ties to the IDF, deep ties to the IDF. They have deep ties to efforts in building illegal settlements in the West Bank, illegal settlements on land that was stolen by, land that was stolen from the Palestinians, of course. So, On top of all of that, let's say you don't care about what's happening to all those innocent

people in Gaza. Let's say you don't care about the land theft in the West Bank. I would venture to think Americans would care about how renters are being treated by these mega corporate landlords, right? And if you're wondering, how does American landmark treat its tenants? There's only one word to describe it. Trash. They treat them like trash. Now, how do I know that? Well, let's get to the details.

So a little bit about this company. American Landmark is a major corporate landlord with roughly 34,000 units concentrated in 111, what they're referring to as mega complexes. So they're these massive apartment buildings. And they stretch across eight Southern states. In fact, they specifically target southern states, red states, because they know that the housing regulations are a little more laxed, and they can get away with essentially screwing their tenants over in the name of maximizing profits. And so three of the states that

they're particularly concentrated in are North Carolina, Florida, and Texas. So here's what's going on. The company has a private equity structure, which they're very proud about, that allows investors from all over the world to essentially invest and to bet on the growth of this company's, this Israeli company's, real estate portfolio. And here's what's even more repulsive about American Landmark. American Landmark is almost entirely owned by Elko, one of Israel's largest corporations. For years, Elko, via its Electra Super brand, has done extensive business in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. Why are we allowing them to buy and manage properties in the United States? Look, I got to say, you know, the United States,

Whenever there are economic interests in a foreign country, the U.S. likes to tap into the war machine to get what it wants. You know, engage in coups, overthrow democratically elected leaders, do it by force. You've got to give the Israelis credit. They don't do it by force when it comes to the United States. They do it in a much more savvy, quiet way. And here's a good example of that. You know, this morning after we had put the rundown together, I was on YouTube. And I love breaking points. I think it's a great show. And I saw that they covered this story as well. And Sagar and Jetty had to do some throat clearing in the beginning of the story. He's like, look, we just want to talk about this because it's really bad for

American tenants and it's a foreign-owned company. We're not saying Israel controls everything. I'm not going to do any throat clearing here. None at all. I don't blame Saga for doing it. I'm just not going to do it. This is sick. It would be sick regardless of which foreign country was behind it, once you see how they treat American tenants. But there's an added layer to this in that the very company that's involved, the very corporation that's involved is doing business in the West Bank on illegal settlements.

They are committing crimes, essentially. That land belongs to the Palestinians. It's internationally recognized as Palestinian land. And so this company is aiding and abetting actual international crimes. And we're just going to like totally be okay with them. Owning American real estate and evicting American tenants after they, of course, raise the rent as much as 24% in a single year. It's nuts, it really is. So Elko was founded in 1949, one year after the Nakhba. And today, it is the countries, meaning Israel's third largest employer with over 23,000 employees.

Elko also has deep ties to the Israeli military, including during the genocide in Gaza. So in 2024, the American Friends Service Committee put Electra on its list of companies that directly facilitate and enable human rights violations and violations of international law as part of Israel's prolonged military occupations, apartheid, and genocide. So we're going to just allow them to be mega landlords in the United States and treat fellow Americans. like trash. And that's what they've been doing. So the nation and type investigations spoke to 43 American tenants, of course, who faced eviction cases that were filed by American Landmark. Now Jeff Schumann, who is a tenant who have been evicted back in March from an American landmark property in Jacksonville, Florida, said this while speaking to the nation. I feel like they're predatory, they can put a person out on the street with no recourse. You want to increase the

homelessness rate because we're short a couple of dollars. And I'm not condoning people not paying their bills, but sometimes people fall on hard times and they should be given a chance. But this is a mega corporate landlord and it's not even an American landlord. It's a foreign landlord. Why would they care about you? Why would they care about you when they could just raise rent to the tune of 24%. You have to read this incredible piece, guys, because there's so many details that we don't have time

to get into, granular details about how much they raise their rent, how far they're willing to go, how little they care about throwing people out of their homes, knowing that they have no place to go, knowing that they're going to end up on the streets, they don't give anyone any chances.

At one of their properties in Charlotte, North Carolina, that's called the Conrad filing show that American Landmark's rate of eviction notices is nine times the national average. American Landmark CEO Joseph Lubbock, it makes me so angry, man, it makes me so angry. American landmark CEO Joseph Lubick confirmed to the nation that rent increases and displacement are part of the company's strategy. They say it out loud, just like members of these government, by the way. They say it out loud. So when they say it out loud, we should believe

them. And then the anger that you might be feeling, the same anger that I'm feeling right now should be directed toward our lawmakers who couldn't care less about what's going on here. I would be shocked if it's even on their radar. Here's what the CEO of American Landmark said. This is during the interview with the nation. When we take over a property, the first analysis we do is How much is the rent going to go up? And how many can afford to stay? We typically raise the rent anywhere from $100 to $400. So some people are absolutely displaced.

Some people paying $1,000 in a distressed apartment are not going to be able to afford the $1,400 we're going to charge. On average, in all of their units, they raise rent every year at least 10%. At least. But of course, that's the average. In other cases, I like the one that I'm harping on about the 24%. Yeah, they raise the rent in a single year by 24%. That is insane. When you kind of take a step back and look at the full picture, the full economic picture

that Americans are facing, have been facing in this country. consumer debt at an all-time high. Americans can't afford health care. Their premiums are doubling as a result of the Republican Party refusing to give Democrats the one concession they asked for, which is the extension of the ACA subsidies. These people who, unfortunately, we as the American people elected, don't care about us. Democrat, Republican, most of them don't care about us. He also says, so based on the company's modeling, Lubick said, only 55% of existing residents are expected to stay while the remaining 45% move out.

It's disgusting. This is disgusting. And what's also disgusting is that scumbags, like Senator Ted Cruz, spend all their time on X and on social media whining about Tucker Carlson or Candice Owens. He couldn't care less about his own constituents. He's a Texas senator. This is going down in Texas and North Carolina and Florida. Hey, Ron DeSantis, you care about this at all? You're concerned about what's going down in Jacksonville? These people make me sick.

And it's about time they made Americans in general sick, because we need to just vote these people out. They don't care about us. Anyway, we got to take a break. When we come back, we'll talk about the latest revelations from the Epstein files. That and more coming up, don't miss it. that we'd cover on TYT.

Let's get to our next story. Yesterday I was on Tucker Carlson's show, and unfortunately I didn't have an opportunity to comment on what's been going on with the Epstein files. But luckily, that story continues to develop,

and I get to talk about it today. House Democrats released those emails obtained from the Epstein estate, showing the convicted sex offender discussing Trump and seeming to suggest he had information he never shared. In a 2018 text exchange, someone whose name is redacted wrote to Epstein, it will all blow over. They're really just trying to take down Trump and doing whatever they can to do that. The context of the message is unclear, but Epstein responding, it's wild because I am the one able to take him down. Oh, was he? Was he the

one able to take him down? Interesting. Just a reminder that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide when the The first Trump administration was in power. And William Barr, whose father had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, was our attorney general. Just something to keep in mind. Now, for me, the Epstein files and the lack of transparency in regard to the Epstein files really doesn't have much to do with partisan bickering. So if you look at what's going down in Congress, it seems like the left is going after the right. The right's going after the left. I would like to that for the purposes of this story because I think members of both sides of the political aisle have been implicated in the Epstein files. There were some emails that I came across on X just this morning in regard to Hillary Clinton and how she allegedly had frisky relations with some people. Anyway, just look into that for yourselves. I actually want to focus on different elements of the Epstein files right now. And what's really, really interesting is that ex-Harvard President Larry Summers and his close relationship with Epstein for years after he was charged for soliciting a minor, also come up. And we're going to discuss that later in the show. Make sure you check out the live show every day at 6 p.m. Eastern time, because that's when we cover everything. You'll be able to catch every topic that we're talking about. But first, let's just focus on Trump for a minute, who Epstein claimed knew about at least.

some of the vile conduct that Epstein and friends were involved in, but didn't necessarily participate in it himself. And so in one email released by the House Oversight Committee that Epstein, by the way, sent to Galane Maxwell in 2011, Epstein wrote, I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is Trump. And then they redact the victim, but victim spent hours at my house with him, meaning with Trump, he has never once been mentioned. Police chief, etc. I'm 75% there. Now, Republicans say that the redacted name is Virginia, meaning Virginia Dufre. And look, it is also very important to mention that she had, prior to dying by suicide, She had never accused President Donald Trump of any wrongdoing.

So it's interesting because a lot of these pieces of evidence, a lot of these leaks kind of confirm that Trump didn't necessarily engage in the illegal disgusting activities that Epstein and others engaged in. But it does seem to indicate that he knew about what was going on and chose not to see. say anything about it. But look, in another email, which Epstein sent to journalist Michael Wolf in 2019, he wrote the following. Trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever, meaning member of Marlago, I'm assuming. Of course, he knew about the girls as he asked Galane to stop. So that actually bolsters what Trump has been claiming publicly in regard to his relationship and fallout with Jeffrey Epstein, right? He had said something about how, you know, he was stealing my girls and their relationship soured after that. And look, the full context of the email isn't clear.

But again, it does seem to be a reference to Trump's claim that he forced Epstein out as a member of Marlago for being a creep. But Trump also admitted just a few months ago that he was also mad that Epstein stole girls from him that worked at Mar-Lago. And one of those girls was Virginia Jufre. So in another email from February of 2019, Epstein tells Michael Wolfe that a victim, whose name was redacted, worked at Mar-a-Lago, Trump knew of it, and came to my house many times during that period, but that he never got a massage. So again, there are emails. There's some information here that seems to clear Trump of any, you know, wrongdoing as it pertains to the rape of minors. But I also feel like Trump knew, and I'm sure others within our government knew what Epstein was up to and chose not to say a damn thing about it.

And that really bothers me. And finally, Epstein wrote to former Treasury Secretary, well, I'm going to get to this in just a second. But let's actually wait for a second and talk a little more about this whole Trump situation. I don't know why Trump is panicking about the release of the Epstein files. I don't know why he's engaging in an obvious cover-up of the Epstein files. But the reason why it's important in my mind for us to have this transparency, well, two reasons. I would say one of the reasons is that, hey, you know, if we do have people in positions of power in our government, and it turns out they're sick pedophiles, and maybe a foreign government has that dirt on them, and as a result uses blackmail to control them, well, they should be ousted. The American people should know who those people are, and they should be ousted. So that's simple. The other thing is, if all this information comes out and we're able to identify who Israel,

possibly other foreign countries have dirt on and we can oust them, maybe we can take our government back. Maybe we won't have foreign governments having this much influence over the foreign policy decisions of our government. You get what I'm saying? So that's why it's important to me. That's why, like, the partisan bickering about this makes me roll my eyes so hard that, like, my eyes get stuck in the back of my head. Like, it's, who cares? Okay, both parties contain scumbags. I think that's abundantly clear at this point. So, at least for the purposes of this story, don't get caught up in the partisan bickering because what matters the most is that we get the evidence and we get the information and we understand just how deep this.

This rot runs within our government and institutions. That's what matters to me. Okay. We're going to take a break because I'm obviously over, I'm going over. But when we come back, that's when I'll talk a little bit about the Larry Summers element of this. So stick around. All right, I got one more live for you to get out of the way, and then we'll get right to Larry Summers and his name being referenced in the Epstein emails. All right.

All right, let's talk about Larry Summers. See what Larry Summers love to. So we are learning quite a bit about powerful people in the United States of America, thanks to Ehud Barak's emails getting hacked

and leaked to the public. That's a former Prime Minister of Israel, of course. You also have the House Oversight Committee, the Democrats within the House Oversight Committee, releasing some of the Epstein files that the Trump administration has been pretty desperate to cover up. And unsurprisingly, the documents that we now have access to implicate all sorts of powerful people in this country, left and right. And Larry Summers happens to be one of them. Now, Larry Summers, apparently, by the way, former Treasury Secretary in Harvard, President Larry Summers, that's the guy I'm talking about. Back in 2017, he actually received an email from Epstein that said, quote, I have met some very bad people, none as bad as Trump, not one decent cell in his body. So yes, dangerous. Or as my dad likes to say dangerous. So that's quite the accusation, especially coming from a literal pedophile and sex trafficker. In response to the emails, the White House claim that they proved that Donald Trump did nothing wrong.

The only thing that matters in this whole scenario for Donald Trump is Donald Trump. For me, there are other elements to this that are far more important than Donald Trump's feelings or whether or not Donald Trump himself knew about this. I think he did know about it. I don't think that there is substantive evidence indicating that he actually engaged in the rape of minors. It might exist, but so far what we've seen doesn't really suss that out. And by the way, Trump also, of course, blamed the Democrats of using the Jeffrey Epstein hoax to deflect from their massive failures, which I'll admit Democrats definitely have massive failures. There's no question about that.

but the Jeffrey Epstein hoax were like literally reading his emails. How was that a hoax? Okay, so let's talk a little more about Larry Summers. As I mentioned earlier, Donald Trump is not the only person who has a little bit of explaining to do following the release of these emails. So it was already well documented that Harvard professor Larry Summers had a relationship with Epstein. But honestly, these new emails kind of give us a better sense of the extent of that relationship. and they do prove that their friendship was certainly much closer than anyone previously knew. So they regularly corresponded about women, politics, and projects at Harvard as late as March 2019,

which was just months before Epstein's arrest and subsequent death. Now, remember that Epstein also had previously faced criminal charges related to the sexual exploitation, of underage girls. This was back in 2006. So Homeboy Larry Summers was all buddy, buddy with Jeffrey Epstein after that 2006 case. Because apparently exploiting underage girls for sex, not that big of a deal. They're friends after all. The Miami Herald piece, by the way, anyone heard from Larry Summers? What's up? You got anything to say about this? So the Miami Herald piece that investigated his sweetheart deal, meaning Epstein's sweetheart deal,

and exposed his plethora of crimes also came out in 2018. But for a full year after that, Larry Summers still buddy-buddy with Jeffrey Epstein. Great. Okay. So apparently Larry Summers didn't see a problem with that. So in an October 2017 email to Epstein, Summers seemed to joke. that women were less intelligent than men and complained about university's response to sexual harassment allegations? He says, quote, I observed that half of the IQ in world was possessed by women without mentioning they are more than 51% of population. I'm trying to figure out why American

elite think if you murder your baby by beheading and abandonment, it must be irrelevant to your admission to Harvard, but hit on, you're calling women stupid? Like, I can't even, what is this? I'm trying to figure, let me try to read this again. I'm trying to figure out why American elite think if you murder your baby by beating an abandonment, it must be irrelevant to your admission to Harvard. but hit on a few women 10 years ago and can't work at a network or think tank. Do not repeat this insight in all caps. That guy used to be a treasury secretary in the United States. So what is he referring to here?

He's referring to women or a specific woman by the name of Michelle Jones, who was convicted of killing her toddler when she was a teenager. And after more than 20 years in prison, she was admitted to Harvard. to a Ph.D. program in particular, but they later rescinded that acceptance. So that's what he was referring to. So at times, Larry Summers even confided to Epstein about his relationship with an unnamed woman in London. He referenced to his, or he referred to his request for advice as the Dear Abbey issue, right?

So once he recounted a tense conversation he had with this woman to Epstein, and this is what he wrote about it. At one point, he told Epstein, the woman brushed him off with the phrase, I'm busy.

Summers told Epstein that he responded to the woman by telling her awfully coy you are. Quote, I don't want to be in a gift-giving competition while being the friend without benefits. I'm going to throw up as Summers wrote. Summers recounted to Epstein, adding that she must be very confused or maybe wants to cut

me off, but wants professional connection a lot and so holds to it. Yeah, Larry, you think anyone's actually interested in you? Like, have you looked in the mirror? Like, I just, what are you talking about? Like, the sense of entitlement. I think on some level, Larry Summers knows, whoever this woman is. not interested in you because of your good looks or because you excite her or because of anything, really. You don't really have a great personality. You're not interesting. You're just a guy

who has power and money. So if a young attractive woman is showing interest in you, the likelihood is it has to do with the fact that you have power and money. So Epstein supported Summers's response to the woman writing, she's smart. Making you pay. for past errors. Ignore the daddy. I'm going to go out with the motorcycle guy. I mean, you've reacted well. Annoyed shows carrying. No whining shows strength or showed strength. Okay. Gross. Super gross. And by the way, any people watching right now who identify as Republican, same as Larry Summers, not a Republican, Democrat, this is not a partisan issue. There are scumbags left and right when it comes to people in positions of power or people

who formerly had positions of power within our government. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Epstein also donated money to projects that were led by Summers' wife, Alyssa, New. And in response to the newly exposed emails, he did provide a response. He told the Harvard Crimson, I have great regrets in my life. as I have said before, my association with Jeffrey Epstein was a major error of judgment. Was it? I mean, he was prosecuted in the early aughts and you were still buddy-buddy with him all the way up to 2019. How do you explain that? So what happens now? So despite this latest email drop, there are still millions of Epstein files from the case that have not been released to the public.

And so yesterday we did get a small step closer to making the release of the Epstein files happen, because finally, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson decided to swear in Congresswoman Adelita Grahalva after a seven-week delay. Many believe that the seven-week delay had more to do with the fact that Mike Johnson really did not want to hold a vote that would eventually lead to the release of the Epstein files, and I am certainly sympathetic to that theory. Now, she did provide the final signature, meaning Grahalva did. She provided the final signature needed to force a vote on the release of the Epstein files, but the bill overall is still very unlikely to pass in the Senate, and even if it did, Trump would still be able to veto it, right? Right now, his administration

is carrying out a pressure campaign, trying to get House Republicans to block the vote. So, it seems like there's more to this that we just aren't privy to, and Trump knows what that something is, and he really doesn't want it to come out. So we'll see what happens, but I mean, it is kind of incredible that we have gotten some information, not through Congress per se, not through our incompetent loser lawmakers, but because of email leaks. And if you don't have the full picture, what ends up happening is people start thinking conspiratorially. And I don't blame them for doing that. If we're not going to have transparency, which helps us fill in the blanks, well, then people are going to come up with their own theories. So if you

don't want that, maybe release the Epstein files, be transparent. I doubt they're going to do it, but I feel like some way, somehow, we're going to figure out what's actually going on here. And I love the fact that there is a significant portion of Trump's base. I don't know if they still consider themselves a significant portion of Trump's base, but nonetheless, they weren't lying. They actually do care about the deep state. They actually do care about transparency in regard to the Epstein files. Those people are honest Americans, and I really respect that. Hopefully we'll get more information, but for now, that's what we've got.

Let's take a quick break when we come back for the second hour. We'll talk a little bit about just how many foreign workers' Trump businesses have been hiring.
