Speaker 1 (00:09):
Welcome to the Real Story. I'm your host, Riley Lewis.
Thank you for joining us. Today is a somber day.
It's a day of grief and mourning for the people
of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and more broadly, the people of America.
It's a day of reflection about the precious nature of
life itself, and it follows a devastating school shooting on
(00:30):
Wednesday that has left the city of Minneapolis reeling so.
On that note, it was Wednesday, August twenty seventh when
a twenty three year old individual named Robin Westman carried
out a deliberate and disgusting act of violence, firing through
the windows of the school's church with a rifle, shotgun,
and pistol, all of which were lawfully purchased in recent months.
(00:52):
Westban targeted children and worshippers inside during a morning service,
resulting in the tragic deaths of two young studentudents, an
eight year old and a ten year old, and resulting
in injuries to seventeen others, fourteen of whom were also children.
No authorities confirmed that no explosives were involved, although a
smoke bomb was discovered at the scene. Minneapolis Police Chief
(01:16):
Brian O'Hara described this brazen attack as absolutely incomprehensible, emphasizing
that Westman acted alone and died from a self inflicted
gunshot wound, leaving an entire community of faith reeling from
this profound evil in a place that's meant for sanctuary
and education. Then, a vigil was later held at Lyndhurst
(01:37):
Park on Wednesday night to honour the victims and praise
the police for their courage and clergy, families and neighbors
gathered together to mourn this loss. Now, as local residents
processed this incomprehensible situation, questions linger about how such a
calculated attack could have happened in the first place. Questions
(01:58):
are also lingering about the shooter, a former student of
the school, So what exactly do we know about this individual?
Robin Westman Well Westman, a biological male, was born on
June seventeenth, two thousand and two, and legally identified as
female following a twenty twenty court approved name change from
Robert Westman to reflect a gender transition. The shooter also
(02:22):
had a personal connection to the church through his not
her mother, Mary Grace Westman, who served as a parish
secretary and administrative assistant there until her retirement in August
twenty one or twenty twenty one after five years. Now
police officers have noted that the suspect had no extensive
criminal history. However, investigators are actively pouring over two YouTube
(02:46):
videos that were mysteriously posted and removed on the exact
morning of the attack, which featured dozens of pages of
handwritten notes spanning several months. These extremely disturbing materials included
drawings of weapons, explatives, and references to other high profile
school shootings. They also included an overtly nihilistic worldview, with
(03:10):
anti Christian sentiments, anti Semitic sentiments, anti Trump sentiments, anti
American sentiments, anti life sentiments, and even a sticker proclaiming
defend equality overlaid with an LGBTQ flag and a gun.
There was even a bird's eye drawing of what appears
to be the church's interior, as well as a shooting
(03:31):
range style target depicting the face of Jesus Christ. In
one instance, the shooter even expressed personal depression and issued
apologies to family members, raising all sorts of critical questions
about missed warning signs and mental health and the role
of online platforms in amplifying such radical and violent ideations. Then,
(03:52):
on top of it all, there's the role of the
legacy media establishment, whose hostile rhetoric toward America Republicans Conservatives,
President Trump and his supporters clearly set the stage for
this disgusting assault. There's also their role, of course, in
glorifying gender dysphoria and the transgender way of life. Now,
(04:14):
gender dysphoria has been classified in the DSM as a
mental illness since its inception. However, unlike other mental conditions,
this one is celebrated. And that's interesting because we don't
celebrate schizophrenia. We don't hold parades for people with depression,
we don't hold rallies to celebrate Alzheimer's or dementia. But
(04:35):
for some bizarre reason, the mainstream media establishment, democrats, the
medical industry, educators, and even some parents praise pushing gender
affirming care aka sex changes onto children. Why now. Chloe Cole,
a recently de transitioned biological female, has been a voice
(04:56):
of reason on this critical issue. Been through the process,
she understands firsthand the deep mental health risks associated with
coddling and deffirming this mental illness. Cole even sounded off
on the situation on X saying this, we are pumping
kids full of hormones and drugs, lying to them and
(05:17):
telling them they were born wrong, yet we expect them
to turn out normal. Love can try to slap the
gun control bandied on again, but the violence will not
cease until we stop fueling their root problems. And Cole
hit the nail on the head with this post. Truly,
this transdemic is real and it's causing real harm to
not only the poor individuals who undergo these procedures, but
(05:41):
for the people who get caught in the crossfire when
the transperson's level of insanity reaches a boiling point. For example,
in twenty eighteen, at a ride Aid and Marryland Snowschep Moseley,
a transperson opened fire on six coworkers in the store's warehouse,
tragically killing three. Then a year later, a seven teen
year old trans teenager and a fellow classmate open fire
(06:03):
at a charter school in Denver, Colorado, tragically killing one
student and injuring eight others. Then fast forward to twenty
twenty three, when a private Christian elementary school located in Nashville, Tennessee,
saw a twenty eight year old trans individual named Audrey Hale,
a former student of the school, open fire on children,
(06:23):
killing six in the process. The one thing these shootings
all have in common, a transgender person's rage, resentment, and
hatred appear to be the justification for their heinous actions
and the mainstream media's conclusion about it more gun control
laws on the books, because God forbid we actually address
(06:43):
the core cause of the issue. It's not guns that
caused these mass tragedies. It was the psychosis of the
person who's been lied to, manipulated, deceived, coddled, and told
that their mental health is something that should be celebrated.
So we can either address the core issues and finally
stop coddling insanity, or continue to ignore those core issues
(07:06):
in question and roll the dice with innocent people's lives.
Now Here with her thoughts reaction in analysis is Chloe Cole,
a public speaker and a de transitioner. Chloe, thank you
for being here, thank.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
You for having me.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
So has been an absolute tragedy in a series of
a violence committed by transgender identified perpetrators. And when I
think all this highlights is a greater spiritual crisis happening
in our country as somebody. Obviously, not every transgender person
(07:42):
is predisposed to violence or committing violent apps, but this
is a population of people that is very vulnerable, that
is often already experiencing other comorbid psychiatric issues. And to
speak from my own experience as a former Transgenderson, this
is a lifestyle that I once lived. Every single part
(08:05):
of it is destructive to the soul and the mind.
It is no way to live. It only brings further
suffering and misery. And it's no wonder with the suffering
that these individuals are going through that there is such
a high rate of mental illness, of suicidality, of ideation,
and even attempts in suicide. But unfortunately, there are some
(08:28):
particularly sick and lost individuals who will externalize that pain
that they are going through and inflicted upon others, such
as in this situation.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I completely agree with that. Thank you, by the way
for making time for us today and opening up about
your personal experience. And to follow up on your point there,
I agree you have people who are lost, who are
genuinely confused, who really need our help. And that's where
my problem is, because the people who should help them
double down on what's going on. They push them further
into this world. They play on that confusion and those emotions.
(09:00):
On the end result, you have people who are even
more confused, less happy, more dissatisfied and depressed. And I
think we clearly see that with Robin Westman. So that's
where my real problem comes in. It's the doctors, the teachers,
the parents, the guidance counselors, people who should know better,
who are pushing this onto people who are genuinely confused
and in need of real help.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Absolutely, there is no scientific basis at all to transgenderism.
Many of the studies that these treatments are in the
affirmation model of care, which involves basically just constantly saying
yes to a patience every once. It only leads them
further down a path of delusion. And for a population
of people that already is predisposed to psychiatric illness, this
(09:48):
doesn't help them, it leads them further down a dark path.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Now you've spoken about this issue of please Chloe gohead ends.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
For patients who are suffering from gender dysphoria or really
any other suspected psychiatric illness, the first place that they're
often pointed to is therapy, which I think is only
a a band aid to the problem, to the actual problem,
and not the solution. It's not examining the real problem
(10:22):
that many of these people are experiencing. Yes, many of
them are in distress, but the prescription that these these
psychologists often have is putting these patients on different psychotropic
drugs that alter their mind, that make them numb, and
in the case of generics for patients, putting them on
hormones that alter pretty much every single part of their
psychology and physiology, leading further into the confusion when you
(10:47):
look at when you examine the broader picture of these
people are who are confused, who are going through a crisis.
It often starts in the family. It often starts with
a lack of spirituality. And what we should be reinforcing
is not just psychiatric care for them, but encouraging them
(11:08):
to build their relationships with their families, to encourage families
of children who are confused to spend time with them,
to get them off the Internet and away from bad influences.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
To your point. In the case of Robin Westman, one
thing I find very interesting here is the apologies to
parents and some of this documentation and multiple references to
God in the equipment, He used, what do you make
of that? Because I think it highlights exactly what you're
saying here. There's a distance, there's some trouble deep inside
with home life, but also there's a spiritual element of
(11:40):
this that people aren't really discussing absolutely.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I mean, when you examine, you really examine his manifesto
and the motivations of the shooter, it becomes.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Clear that.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
It's about so much more than politics for him. This
is a person who is spiritually sick, who has been
a f We have to buy a much larger spiritual
crisis that has been happening in our country and amongst
my generation that cannot be resolved by mental health care
alone or by gun control. We need to ground ourselves
(12:16):
in the spirit, in God and give our ends and
find our armor in that. I think as our country
starts to return to Christ, we are going to see
an even greater spiritual attack and this will Unfortunately, this
violence is going to continue and as a country, we
(12:37):
need to guard ourselves through God.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I completely agree with that. So, speaking about the treatment
then of people who do struggle with gender dysphoria, in
a very real way. Why do you think it's different
than the way we treat people who are struggling with, say,
schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. I do wonder why is this
particular situation treated so differently than everything else.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
When it comes down to it, transgender ideology is not
only unscientific, it's also completely based on ideology. It's been
the perfect store, the perfect storm of trends mental illness
and hospital systems and interest groups capitalizing upon it. These
(13:24):
are procedures, and this is a political ideology that has
a lot of money flowing in and out of it.
And even even beyond even beyond money, even beyond the
surgeons and the politicians and the ideologues who are profiting
off of it, there are many more people who genuinely
believe that this is a human rights issue, that transgender
(13:49):
people genuinely are members of the opposite sex, that there
that they're in a world where people hate them, where
there is a genocide happening against them, and that there
is certed efforts to harm to strict these people of
supposedly life saving healthcare that when you actually examine it,
(14:10):
actually damages them.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
So people like people like me who speak.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
About the reality of this issue are often often targeted
because we're believed to be hateful individuals who are essentially
perpetuating crime against humanity.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
That's just a shame. I'm sorry about that, by the way,
with your experience and how you've been treated since you've
decided to detransition. But just to end on that note,
for the audience, for the world, for families out there
who are very concerned about the well being of their
children and they and their own situations, what is your
message for people out there who are genuinely struggling, and
for the people who are weaponizing this issue and pushing
(14:45):
this ideology onto the American people, knowing it leads to
stuff like this attack in Minneapolis.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Gender ideology in every single form and everything it touches,
leads to harm, either direct to families, to children like
me who were put on these treatments and have their
bodies damaged, and even to people such as the shooter
who was led down a path of spiritual confusion that
(15:13):
eventually led to him acting out and committing.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Violence and harming the people around him.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Sure we cannot help these confused individuals by leading them
further into the confusion. We have to stand and speak
for the truth.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Well said, and of course that's not to justify this
heinous action here in Minneapolis. And I am praying very
much for this community as hard as I can, because
it's heartbreaking, and that's why we pray, because we know
that God is listening to us down here, but it
needs to be addressed. There are core factors here that
we've identified. People are neglecting them. They're fueling this crisis,
and until we wake up and come to our senses,
(15:52):
we can expect to see a lot more of this.
So I'm really hoping and praying for the best, and
I want to thank you for your time today, Chloe,
thank you for opening up for.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Us, and thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Coming up next, one of our resident legal experts joins
us to discuss President Trump's call for George Soros and
his radical son to face RICO charges for allegedly sponsoring
America's destruction. More details after the break.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Welcome back to the real story. Accountability is an elusive thing.
See in a world where most people refuse to take
responsibility for their actions, people look to institutions to hold
them responsible. People turn to government to do something when
offenders otherwise won't, just to inevitably be disappointed by a
lack of results. Then, of course they swiftly lose trust
(17:04):
in their institutions, their leaders, and ultimately they lose hope. However,
every once in a blue moon, a real opportunity to
finally achieve accountability presents itself almost out of thin air,
and that might be exactly what's happening right now. So
case in point, President Trump is seeking some accountability for
(17:26):
Democrat billionaire mega donor George Soros, calling for him and
his son Alex to be prosecuted under the RICO Act.
Trump even made the call about it in a truth
social post on Wednesday, writing this, George Soros and his
wonderful radical left sun should be charged with RICO because
of their support of violent protests and much more all
(17:49):
throughout the United States of America. We're not going to
allow these lunatics to rip apart America anymore, never giving
it so much as a chance to breathe and be free.
Soros and his group of psychopaths have caused great damage
to our country. That includes his crazy West Coast friends.
Be careful, we are watching you. Thank you for your
(18:12):
attention to this matter. Interesting. Those are some pretty bold accusations,
but to be fair, he's not the only one to
suspect Soros of using his money to fuel America's destruction.
And now it's time to get to the truth of
what's really going on. Now we know that Soros, the
ninety five year old financier and philanthropist, has funneled billions
(18:35):
of dollars into liberal and communist causes through his Open
Society foundations, and just before leaving office, it was none
other than Joe Biden who awarded him the Presidential Medal
of Freedom, a move that only amplified suspicions of elite favoritism.
But to be very clear, at the same time, just
because the elite globist class in Washington loves him doesn't
(18:57):
mean that he's committed any crimes. Time will tell if
he really has. Should Trump's calls for prosecution lead to
concrete action from the DOJ, But in the meantime, the
Open Society Foundations fired right back against those claims on
x roughly three hours after Trump took to social media,
writing this, The Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros
(19:20):
and chaired by Alex Soros, do not support or fund
violent protests. Allegations to the contrary are false, and the
threats against our founder and chair are outrageous. Our mission
is to advance human rights, justice, and democratic principles in
the United States and around the world. We stand for
(19:40):
fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the US Constitution, including the rights
to free speech and peaceful protest. There are hallmarks of
any vibrant democracy. Interesting now, the DJ hasn't issued any
statements about the situation yet, but we'll be paying very
close attention to this story as it develops. Now Here
(20:00):
with his thoughts and analysis about it is Sam Arrajowski,
a legal analyst and radio host of the What's Write Show. Sam,
thank you for being.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Here well, Riley. Always great to be with you. Thank
you well.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
And this is a really interesting situation because millions of
people all over the planet have heard the name George Soros,
but he's one of these mysterious shadow figures that doesn't
really operate in plain sight. Many people don't know his backstory,
They don't know how he made his money, they don't
know what he stands for or what he's funding. So
this new spotlight from President Trump is very interesting to me.
(20:34):
I do wonder what you're thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Well, I think what Trump is going after here is
Soros and everybody like him who is funneling millions of
dollars into his system that is then wreaking havoc in
our society. And it isn't you know, with as conservatives
can't just fall into this trap of thinking that Sorous
(20:57):
is simply a promoting ideal logical causes this money went to.
When you look at the destruction in LA and the
anti ice protests, when you go back to the images
of the neatly wrapped center block bricks and the masks
and then the tents that went in for the Hamas protests,
they are funding the building blocks of destruction in our
(21:21):
great American cities. And so this is what happened. Trump
went and told them flat out, you continue to do
this and we will charge you under the Rico Statute.
And remember, you know, going to the law about what
this is. This is a the Rico law basically allows
(21:42):
you to go after an organization and it doesn't have
to be a formal organization. You don't have to have
a plan of action. You just have to prove enterprise.
You have to prove a pattern of racketeering activity, you
have to prove that there's a conduct there with the
participants involved, and then of course that there's an injury,
which there has been. And this is scary stuff I'm living.
(22:05):
We're living in an incredible timeline where we have a
US president actually going after these shadowy groups once and
for all.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Well, so, Sam, to your point, then who is really
facing liability here? Is it George and Alex Soros personally
or is it the Open Society foundations?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Well, I mean it would be this is what the
beauty of RICO is. I mean everybody, every single person
who participates in it, meaning it would be everyone from
the guy who who chopped up a cinder block brick
in LA and tossed a piece added to a CHP officer,
all the way up to the Soroses themselves. Really every
(22:42):
person who knowingly participated in this enterprise prize and caused
caused the you know, it contributed to the illegal illicit
acts to occur, would be held held responsible. So this
really has some teeth to it and is a frightening thing.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Okay, So then speaking to this rico charge, because there's
another question here that that you know, situation begets, which is,
has the funding of these organizations that seem involved in
these disgusting displays of anarchy? Is that a crime? And
if so, what could be the possible punishment? Is it
just a fine? Is it prison time? Speak to the
teeth of these allegations.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
For us, Well, again, if they're if you're using your
money to fund a group that is going out there
and destructing property, then there are numerous crimes, and there
are there are obviously there are criminal penalties, they're civil penalties,
there are expenses. I mean, this is this is a
it's a big deal, and I there are just oh sure, yeah,
(23:45):
oh absolute, absolutely. The damage to federal property for example
in LA, that's a federal crime.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
What about federal agents and federal ice agents for example?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
One hundred percent? And to the extent that Soros money
is going there, you know you're you're going to see
some chilling effect of that. I have to add one thing.
There's an interesting piece of news this week that Gates
announced that he was cutting funding to his Arabella Advisors group,
this far left wing group, and it came after a
(24:17):
three hour meeting that the Gates had in the White
House with with with the President. I'm convinced that Trump
isn't going just as Soros, but it's going to every
lib billionaire and multi millionaire and and basically in so
many words, telling him cut the stuff out or we're
going to come after you with everything that we've got.
(24:38):
And you know, the the takeaway here for your audiences
to understand that that there's the the lifeline of financial
support to Antifa, to all this wack a doodle stuff
that's been going on the Summer of George will never
happen again so long as Trump continues on this path
(24:58):
that he's that he's on. Nothing works anywhere without money. Yes,
if you cut off the money supply, all of this
highly organized subversive activity led by the left goes away overnight,
and you can get rid of a lot of funding
if you just dissuade Soros and Bill Gates and a
(25:21):
handful of other dudes to stop funding it. Period. So
I think this is kind of like ending the Wars
without sending any weapons. I think you can end this
without filing a single criminal charge against any of these
top dogs. I think you just you just put the
word out there. You keep this up, there will be consequences.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Okay, understood. Thank you for that insight, and thank you
for your time that I sam. I really appreciate it,
My pleasure. Coming up next, following the deployment of thousands
of US marines to the waters of Latin America and
the Caribbean, the Trump administration prepares to deploy warships to
the exact same area to counter the operations of drug cartels.
(26:03):
More details after the break.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Welcome back to the real Story. Now it's time to
turn our attention to an intensifying standoff between President Trump
and Nicholas Maduro, the head of Venezuela. They've been in
intense battle ever since the beginning of August, when Trump
doubled the award for his arrest to fifty million dollars
accusing him of working with drug cartels to flood America
(26:52):
streets with fenconyl laced cocaine, and now the tension between
them is expected to rapidly increase as the US government
prepares to deploy three warships to the waters off the
coast of Venezuela. Three US Navy destroyers, the USS Gravely,
USS Jason Dunham, and US S Samson are set to be
(27:12):
sent to patrol these waters in a month's long operation
aimed at countering drug cartels in the next few days,
although further details of the plants remain classified, but White
House officials have confirmed that this move is part of
a broader campaign to dismantle cartel operations that perpetuate violence
and US cities. And Maduro responded to the news swiftly,
(27:35):
mobilizing over four point five million militia members all over
his country. In addition, Venezuela's government deployed its own drones
and warships to monitor the country's coast on Tuesday, following
the news about the illumining deployment of US warships, a
move which also comes after the Trump administration sent thousands
of marines to the region just recently, so now looking ahead,
(28:00):
situation raises all sorts of questions about the future of
relations between the US and Venezuela, as well as the
US government's fight against transnational crime. Could it finally force
accountability on regimes that export chaos or could escalate into
a broader conflict under the guise of drug enforcement. With
Maduro's allies indicted and rewards mounting, the Trump Administration's strategy
(28:24):
signals a rejection of past appeasement, prioritizing American lives over
diplomatic niceties. Yet as Venezuela stone walls and deploys its forces,
we're all left pondering the risks to regional peace in
the world where socialists strong men align themselves with narco terrorists.
So here with reaction, as US Navy veteran and candidate
(28:47):
for Congress in the state of Texas, Commander Jay Furman, Commander,
thank you for being here.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Thank you, ROLLI, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
So this is a very interesting move, and I want
to get your thoughts about it, sir.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Are We're seeing geopolitics play at the edge.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Of the knife right now.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Absolutely My question for you then is do you think
this is going to be effective?
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Well?
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Absolutely, Strategic terrance is really the leading edge of that
knife or spear as we call it, tip the spear
and uh. And without that that big stick, you know,
held ready on our shoulder to wield if God forbid
we have to. But it's it's the credible threat that
makes that strategic terrence important. The Navy is our pre
(29:35):
eminent force to do so uh And and so yes
that the current array of of power on display for
Madureau to look at from his hideout as he is
hiding in his own parapets, is incritically important.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
He can he can bolster all he wants.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
At the end of the day, he knows he's an
isolated narco state that tried to undermine us UH in
the use of tonal warfare, sitting all forms drugs.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Trender aur Agua, what have you.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
He's fully wrapped into that business, that trade, whilst what's
under our ships is one of the biggest oil reserves
in the world, and he's malnourishing his nation in this
current economic policy, which is which is terrorism.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
And it's in our interest to do what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Absolutely, and I think that's the thing people need to
understand is that this is the last case scenario, right.
This is not an ideal situation by any stretch, and
taking physical force, mobilizing the US military is something of
a last resort that reflects the severity of the problem
we're dealing with, drugs like fentanyl becoming one of the
leading killers for Americans between the ages of eighteen and
(30:43):
forty five. It is truly an epidemic, and we know
where it's coming from. We have an idea of who's
trafficking these substances into the country. So now we're all
waiting for some real accountability for the people who are
pushing this poison into America. And it all goes back
to people like Maduro, which brings us to the arrest,
money the reward for his arrest. What do you think
(31:04):
about that strategy, Well, it's worked in the past.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
You know, in our in our global uh war on Terror,
we we had you know, entire playbook cards of uh
of of you know, of top leaders that we were
trying to roll up and that we're heads of the.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Snakes UH here.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
No less, you know, Latin America is really of recent
you know, outside of Trump's efforts, and he did a
great job as FIRS administration making overtures to uh to
South America.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
And here again he's doing it. Uh, I think very effectively.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
You just look at Ecuador and some others, Guatemala, the
entire uh that's up that the southern half of our
hemisphere really was a funnel into illicit trade into America,
and that was really the big game.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (31:51):
It's gonna be hard to sever those ties that really
undergird their economies as they tried to shift to a
sustainable economy that bringing crime doesn't bring the death and
destruction of their actual communities.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
That always attends it.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
That attended our border, as as our corrupt politicians brought in.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Where the the end of the tail that snake, if
you will.
Speaker 7 (32:14):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
And he kind of wink, wink and look the other
way as they're they're welcoming uh, you know, new American
citizens with with drugs on their backs. So so all
of that has to be severed at the head.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
So what we're doing with Maduro and his bounty is
absolutely spot on.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
He we don't legitimately, we don't recognize as legitimacy as
a president. He's stolen the election, uh, you know every
time he is, you know, supposedly been in power there
by an elected government.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
But we know it's not that.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
He is one of the most dangerous things to America
UH south of our border, and he's being used by
Russia and China UH and certainly the those cartels that
are trying to hold out and that are battling right
now for control. But he's really one of the biggest
mafio so of the bunch.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Well.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
And to think so many leaders in America have just
let this drug problem fester for years and years without
real action is just abysmal, shameful, heartbreaking. To think of
all the lives that have been lost to this crisis
is truly gut wrenching. So I hope when you go
to Washington, should you win your election, you can turn
things around, get this country back on the right track,
(33:19):
and clean up america streets once and for all, sir.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
That's what we're gonna do. Riley. I'm going right at
one of the tales of that snake.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
That's Henry Quay are twenty one year incumbent and District
twenty eight, the worst, the worst with the Texas border
hauled in more drugs, guns, money than any other place,
and he voting ninety five percent with the Biden's regime
in the height of the broken border, that really created
the demand signal for the madors of the world.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
We're going to cut that tail off.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Okay, it's music to my ears, sir, and thank you
for your time today. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Thank you, Riley, Take care, God bless.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Coming up next, we have star of the Netflix docu
series The Tiger King, Joe Exotic, joining the Real Story
from a federal penitentiary. He's got some horrific allegations of
sexual abuse at the hands of the prison guards themselves,
so you won't want to miss it. More details after
the break.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Welcome back to the Real Story. Joe Exotic, the mullet
sporting zoo keeper turned Netflix sensation in the twenty twenty
docu series Tiger King, Murder, Mayhem and Madness, sits rotting
in federal Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, alleging savage
prison abuse, including sexual assault by guards and medical neglect
(34:57):
amid his prostate cancer battle, all while serving a twenty
one year sentence for a murder for higher scheme against
arch nemesis Carol Baskin born Joseph Maldonado passage. This Oklahoma
showman built a wild empire at the Greater Wynwood Exotic
Animal Park, home to over two hundred big cats, where
(35:18):
he bred tigers, hosted cup petting tours, and even ran
for president in twenty sixteen, but fame turned fatal. Arrested
in September of twenty eighteen, convicted in April twenty nineteen
on seventeen federal animal abuse charges alleging the killing of
five tigers to make cage spase, and two counts of
(35:38):
plotting a hit on Baskin hiring undercover Feds for three
thousand dollars a pop now from behind bars, exotic blasts
the system, claims of moldy cells, staff brutality like alleged
sexual assault at the hands of guards, and ignored health crises.
With his earliest release in twenty thirty five at the
(35:59):
age of seven two. Here's what Joe Exotic even told
my colleague Matt Gets on his program earlier this year.
Speaker 7 (36:06):
You ever been raped?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I have not, have you.
Speaker 7 (36:09):
My people should have emailed you the bloody pictures tonight.
And that's what I've been through in not not just cancer,
but that's what I've been through. Okay. They a guard
tried to make me perform oral sex. When it didn't
go so good, eight of them beat me up, strip
me naked, and tied me in a chair and put
me in the shower for so long the skin came
(36:31):
off my arms.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Now, Joe appears to be making the best of his situation.
In fact, he married husband Jorge Flores Maldonado in prison,
begs Trump for a pardon, and slams the DOJ for
letting successor Jeff low Skate on similar animal neglect accusations
at the rebranded Zoo. Yet mainstream media glosses over this
American underdog's cries, while Feds ignore perjury admissions from witnesses
(36:57):
themselves in the trial. So is this just or jungle law?
Speaker 6 (37:02):
Now?
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Exotic Saga exposes the raw underbelly of federal prisons. Overcrowded
hellholes holding one hundred and fifty two thousand inmates rife
with abuse reports up thirty percent since twenty twenty, per
DOJ's own statistics. So, folks, if tigers could talk, they'd
roar for reform. Stay tuned as we dig deeper into
(37:22):
this cage rattling injustice. Now here with reaction is Joe Exotic,
also known as the Tiger King. Joe. Thank you for
being here.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
Hey, I appreciate having me.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
So we have a lot of questions today and not
so much time, but I want to address the urgent
matter right now regarding your case as to why you're
in prison, because you have a clemency case that has
been reopened by the White House based on claims of
perjury and coercion during your trial. So I want to
ask you first, how is that process going right now?
Speaker 7 (37:55):
Well, the White House notified the US Party attorney on
Edward Martin notified my lawyer's last Wednesday, and then my
counselor called me in his office here to prison Sunday,
and he had gotten an email from the White House
as well, asking about you know, me here to prison,
(38:17):
and you know he responded. He showed me what he
responded with, and that was you know, I've done twenty
different classes in the last six months. I haven't been
in any trouble. I've never disrespected any of the staff.
Five years from from going back to the world as
it is, and my security level is as low as
(38:39):
it can get. So he's hoping that President Trump and
Ed Martin will really consider giving me clemency, especially based
because you know, the government witness is all admitted to
perjury on world television and signed up at Davidson turned
over almost two hundred phone recordings of how they fabricated
(39:01):
evidence with the federal agents. So you know, even the
staff here at the prison says that I don't belong here.
You know, all we can do is pray.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Okay, So what exactly is the next step in the process, then, Joe,
what is the next step in this process?
Speaker 8 (39:18):
Then the next step is just waiting on mister Martin
to forward it to prison and Trump and prisident Trump
either approve it or not.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Okay, understood. Now I want to speak about your prison
or your experience in prison so far you've been you
were sentenced in twenty twenty to twenty two years in prison.
What has that experience been for you? Like so far.
Speaker 7 (39:44):
Well, you know, first of all, a lot of people
don't understand that I've actually been in prison since September
seventh of twenty eighteen, and I did not film for
Tiger King. They took all of that footage up of
my YouTube channel and everything else, so everybody thinks that
I got rich and everything else. I didn't get a
dying from that. But you know, when Tiger King came
(40:07):
out right before March, what was the nineteenth of twenty
twenty was my first day of actual federal prison was
March the twenty fifth, And because of that, it kind
of really destroyed my life altogether, because because of all
the hype, the news media, the people in front of
(40:29):
the prison and everything else. I spent the first two
years and eight months of prison life in solitary confinement. Wow,
and that was probably the hardest thing I've ever done.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
In my life.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Yeah, if you could please speak to the toll that
has taken on you, because that's really significant.
Speaker 7 (40:47):
Joe. I, well, I mean, it's really it's really hard,
you know, And I don't know if you've seen any
of the pictures from when I was at the federal
holdover in Oklahoma City where they stripped me, and they
can tie me in a chair and put me to
show for so long a skin came up my arms,
you know. And I've been in solitary for two years
and eight months. But you know, when you when you're
sitting in a six by tulsa concrete room by yourself
(41:09):
for that long a time, you know, I prayed every
day that my heart would stop. That the country that
I love and the country that you know, I've made
it fifty five years without even a speeding ticket, and
I did as much as I could to be a
good person. And to sit in that room for two
(41:30):
years and eight months by myself, I prayed every day
for my heart to stop because I couldn't believe that
the United States of America was actually doing this to me.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Wow, but you're hoping that we'll come to an end
at some point soon with this new clemency case, Isn't
that right?
Speaker 7 (41:45):
I pray every day. I wake up every morning and
go to bed praying every day. You know, my parents
have died since since I've been in here. I've lost
every time. And all I want is President Trump to
give me a second chance to show him and show
the world that I make this call. It's from a
(42:05):
federal prison, but I'm still here. That's just a message
that the phone puts in.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
Okay, I understood.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
Joe.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
First of all, thank you for sharing and just opening
up with us today. I truly appreciate it. But in
addition to prayer, then, how else do you cope with
being behind bars?
Speaker 7 (42:26):
Well, I mean, keep in mind, I'm in a medical center, okay,
because I have a disease called a common variable immune disease,
which I have no immune system, so they have to
give me blood infusions every six weeks, and I've done
that my whole life. But you know, I'm fighting crusty
cancer and lung cancer on top of that. So I'm
(42:46):
the prison that I'm in here in Forward, Texas is
really kind of like a college campus more or less.
It's behind the fence, but there's no bars and there's
no doors where we live in dorms. So you know,
it's a hell of a lot better than solitary con climate,
but it's still prison.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
Okay, understood, So what what is my next question is
about the quality of medical care that you're getting in
this facility right now? What can you tell us about that?
Speaker 7 (43:16):
Joe America would be a shame that the taxpayers are
paying for what's going on in here. I you know,
I did a year of chemon radiation and spent a year,
you know, lucked in a room by myself, qu can
every day, and I watched so many people die because
(43:38):
it doesn't matter if you have cow cancer or lung cancer.
They are going to give you the same treatment no
matter what, and as soon as you die, they're going
to fill a bed with somebody else. So it's it
really is sad. And that's probably one of my biggest
goals when I make it out of here, is I
want to testify in front of Congress because they have
(44:02):
no clue what goes on in here between that, between
the drugs and everything else that goes on behind these
walls is insane.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
Well, so let's talk about that. Then. What else would
you like to share with us about what goes on
behind those walls?
Speaker 7 (44:18):
Well, I, you know, there's no help for most of
these people. And that's the sad part and my goal
and my drive to make it out of here and
tell my real story. You know, I've been super strong
and through everything that I've been through, I haven't touched
(44:38):
any drugs, alcohol, or tobacco in the eight years I've
been fighting this, but I have seen it ruins so
many people because there's no help in here, and there's
so many people that are overdosing. And I all day
because there's nothing else to do.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
Understood, tell us a little bit more than also about
the guards, the leaders, the facilitators inside of these centers
that you're in right now. What is the leadership like
and the sort of uh you know, the people who
are looking over and monitoring people. What is your experience
with them like?
Speaker 7 (45:16):
You know that I've been to four different places. I've
been to Atlanta Penitentiary. I've been to Tallahassee pen I've
been the butter and I've been here uh as far
as the prisons, and then I've been to several hollovers.
But uh, the staff uh here are actually really good.
Speaker 3 (45:35):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (45:35):
I have never had any problem with any of the
staff or actually any of the inmates. And and the
selling next to me was actually kid Kevinski. But uh
and and I've got along with everyone, but uh, the
staff here are exhausted. I they're overworked, and they're working
double and triple shifts because the BOP is just that
(45:58):
short staff, especially with the medical staff there. They're so
short of medical staff that everybody has burned out. But
the staff is one hundred percent really actually pretty decent people.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
That's very interesting, And so you would say generally we're
treating medical facility.
Speaker 7 (46:16):
You know, the buildings. The buildings are calling apart, you know,
and the staff. All I can say is the established tired.
They actually need some help and some money.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
Okay, Now, Joe, millions of people all over the world
they know who you are, even though you don't know them.
They know your persona. They've they've at least seen representations
of you in this infamous docuseries that came out in
twenty twenty. Everybody knows about it. But like you said,
you weren't actually involved in the filming process whatsoever, and
you haven't benefited from the production of that docuseries at all.
(46:52):
So for people around the world who are wondering, truly,
in his heart of hearts, who is Joe Exotic and
what does he stand for?
Speaker 7 (47:00):
What would you say to Well, you know, I saw
Tiger King for the first time about eight months ago
because my lawyers were allowed to bring it in on
a laptop because we're working on some civil suits. What
I was most disappointed in the whole thing is they
had an agenda, and that agenda was to make exotic
(47:20):
animal people, especially me because I was the largest breeder
of tigers in the United States, to make us look
like drug addicts and crazy people so they could pass
the Big Cat Safety Act. And what they didn't tell
my story. You know, everything that you saw was scripted
for reality show that I was filming for a company
(47:42):
in la that never made it to TV yet. But
what they forgot to put in there was all of
the charity work that Joey Cutek was all about, and
that was opening the zoo every holiday for free, feeding
people for free, and nowhere to go Granton last voices
for guying little kids and everything else. But help me
(48:06):
get out of here. I put create Joey Exotic everywhere,
and let me show the world who Joey really is,
because he's not just that crazy guy you saw on television.
And Michelle is the sink deep, which means it's going
to hang up any second. So I just want to
say thank you and thanks to everybody around the world,
because without your letters, I probably would have never made
(48:26):
it two years and eight months.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
Okay, well, thank you for your time, Joe, I really
appreciate it. Coming up next, we have a very special
announcement to make about the network and you definitely won't
want to miss it. So stay right there, We'll be

Welcome to the Real Story. I'm your host, Riley Lewis.
Thank you for joining us. Today is a somber day.
It's a day of grief and mourning for the people
of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and more broadly, the people of America.
It's a day of reflection about the precious nature of
life itself, and it follows a devastating school shooting on
(00:30):
Wednesday that has left the city of Minneapolis reeling so.
On that note, it was Wednesday, August twenty seventh when
a twenty three year old individual named Robin Westman carried
out a deliberate and disgusting act of violence, firing through
the windows of the school's church with a rifle, shotgun,
and pistol, all of which were lawfully purchased in recent months.
(00:52):
Westban targeted children and worshippers inside during a morning service,
resulting in the tragic deaths of two young studentudents, an
eight year old and a ten year old, and resulting
in injuries to seventeen others, fourteen of whom were also children.
No authorities confirmed that no explosives were involved, although a
smoke bomb was discovered at the scene. Minneapolis Police Chief
(01:16):
Brian O'Hara described this brazen attack as absolutely incomprehensible, emphasizing
that Westman acted alone and died from a self inflicted
gunshot wound, leaving an entire community of faith reeling from
this profound evil in a place that's meant for sanctuary
and education. Then, a vigil was later held at Lyndhurst
(01:37):
Park on Wednesday night to honour the victims and praise
the police for their courage and clergy, families and neighbors
gathered together to mourn this loss. Now, as local residents
processed this incomprehensible situation, questions linger about how such a
calculated attack could have happened in the first place. Questions
(01:58):
are also lingering about the shooter, a former student of
the school, So what exactly do we know about this individual?
Robin Westman Well Westman, a biological male, was born on
June seventeenth, two thousand and two, and legally identified as
female following a twenty twenty court approved name change from
Robert Westman to reflect a gender transition. The shooter also
(02:22):
had a personal connection to the church through his not
her mother, Mary Grace Westman, who served as a parish
secretary and administrative assistant there until her retirement in August
twenty one or twenty twenty one after five years. Now
police officers have noted that the suspect had no extensive
criminal history. However, investigators are actively pouring over two YouTube
(02:46):
videos that were mysteriously posted and removed on the exact
morning of the attack, which featured dozens of pages of
handwritten notes spanning several months. These extremely disturbing materials included
drawings of weapons, explatives, and references to other high profile
school shootings. They also included an overtly nihilistic worldview, with
(03:10):
anti Christian sentiments, anti Semitic sentiments, anti Trump sentiments, anti
American sentiments, anti life sentiments, and even a sticker proclaiming
defend equality overlaid with an LGBTQ flag and a gun.
There was even a bird's eye drawing of what appears
to be the church's interior, as well as a shooting
(03:31):
range style target depicting the face of Jesus Christ. In
one instance, the shooter even expressed personal depression and issued
apologies to family members, raising all sorts of critical questions
about missed warning signs and mental health and the role
of online platforms in amplifying such radical and violent ideations. Then,
(03:52):
on top of it all, there's the role of the
legacy media establishment, whose hostile rhetoric toward America Republicans Conservatives,
President Trump and his supporters clearly set the stage for
this disgusting assault. There's also their role, of course, in
glorifying gender dysphoria and the transgender way of life. Now,
(04:14):
gender dysphoria has been classified in the DSM as a
mental illness since its inception. However, unlike other mental conditions,
this one is celebrated. And that's interesting because we don't
celebrate schizophrenia. We don't hold parades for people with depression,
we don't hold rallies to celebrate Alzheimer's or dementia. But
(04:35):
for some bizarre reason, the mainstream media establishment, democrats, the
medical industry, educators, and even some parents praise pushing gender
affirming care aka sex changes onto children. Why now. Chloe Cole,
a recently de transitioned biological female, has been a voice
(04:56):
of reason on this critical issue. Been through the process,
she understands firsthand the deep mental health risks associated with
coddling and deffirming this mental illness. Cole even sounded off
on the situation on X saying this, we are pumping
kids full of hormones and drugs, lying to them and
(05:17):
telling them they were born wrong, yet we expect them
to turn out normal. Love can try to slap the
gun control bandied on again, but the violence will not
cease until we stop fueling their root problems. And Cole
hit the nail on the head with this post. Truly,
this transdemic is real and it's causing real harm to
not only the poor individuals who undergo these procedures, but
(05:41):
for the people who get caught in the crossfire when
the transperson's level of insanity reaches a boiling point. For example,
in twenty eighteen, at a ride Aid and Marryland Snowschep Moseley,
a transperson opened fire on six coworkers in the store's warehouse,
tragically killing three. Then a year later, a seven teen
year old trans teenager and a fellow classmate open fire
(06:03):
at a charter school in Denver, Colorado, tragically killing one
student and injuring eight others. Then fast forward to twenty
twenty three, when a private Christian elementary school located in Nashville, Tennessee,
saw a twenty eight year old trans individual named Audrey Hale,
a former student of the school, open fire on children,
(06:23):
killing six in the process. The one thing these shootings
all have in common, a transgender person's rage, resentment, and
hatred appear to be the justification for their heinous actions
and the mainstream media's conclusion about it more gun control
laws on the books, because God forbid we actually address
(06:43):
the core cause of the issue. It's not guns that
caused these mass tragedies. It was the psychosis of the
person who's been lied to, manipulated, deceived, coddled, and told
that their mental health is something that should be celebrated.
So we can either address the core issues and finally
stop coddling insanity, or continue to ignore those core issues
(07:06):
in question and roll the dice with innocent people's lives.
Now Here with her thoughts reaction in analysis is Chloe Cole,
a public speaker and a de transitioner. Chloe, thank you
for being here, thank.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
You for having me.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
So has been an absolute tragedy in a series of
a violence committed by transgender identified perpetrators. And when I
think all this highlights is a greater spiritual crisis happening
in our country as somebody. Obviously, not every transgender person
(07:42):
is predisposed to violence or committing violent apps, but this
is a population of people that is very vulnerable, that
is often already experiencing other comorbid psychiatric issues. And to
speak from my own experience as a former Transgenderson, this
is a lifestyle that I once lived. Every single part
(08:05):
of it is destructive to the soul and the mind.
It is no way to live. It only brings further
suffering and misery. And it's no wonder with the suffering
that these individuals are going through that there is such
a high rate of mental illness, of suicidality, of ideation,
and even attempts in suicide. But unfortunately, there are some
(08:28):
particularly sick and lost individuals who will externalize that pain
that they are going through and inflicted upon others, such
as in this situation.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I completely agree with that. Thank you, by the way
for making time for us today and opening up about
your personal experience. And to follow up on your point there,
I agree you have people who are lost, who are
genuinely confused, who really need our help. And that's where
my problem is, because the people who should help them
double down on what's going on. They push them further
into this world. They play on that confusion and those emotions.
(09:00):
On the end result, you have people who are even
more confused, less happy, more dissatisfied and depressed. And I
think we clearly see that with Robin Westman. So that's
where my real problem comes in. It's the doctors, the teachers,
the parents, the guidance counselors, people who should know better,
who are pushing this onto people who are genuinely confused
and in need of real help.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Absolutely, there is no scientific basis at all to transgenderism.
Many of the studies that these treatments are in the
affirmation model of care, which involves basically just constantly saying
yes to a patience every once. It only leads them
further down a path of delusion. And for a population
of people that already is predisposed to psychiatric illness, this
(09:48):
doesn't help them, it leads them further down a dark path.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Now you've spoken about this issue of please Chloe gohead ends.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
For patients who are suffering from gender dysphoria or really
any other suspected psychiatric illness, the first place that they're
often pointed to is therapy, which I think is only
a a band aid to the problem, to the actual problem,
and not the solution. It's not examining the real problem
(10:22):
that many of these people are experiencing. Yes, many of
them are in distress, but the prescription that these these
psychologists often have is putting these patients on different psychotropic
drugs that alter their mind, that make them numb, and
in the case of generics for patients, putting them on
hormones that alter pretty much every single part of their
psychology and physiology, leading further into the confusion when you
(10:47):
look at when you examine the broader picture of these
people are who are confused, who are going through a crisis.
It often starts in the family. It often starts with
a lack of spirituality. And what we should be reinforcing
is not just psychiatric care for them, but encouraging them
(11:08):
to build their relationships with their families, to encourage families
of children who are confused to spend time with them,
to get them off the Internet and away from bad influences.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
To your point. In the case of Robin Westman, one
thing I find very interesting here is the apologies to
parents and some of this documentation and multiple references to
God in the equipment, He used, what do you make
of that? Because I think it highlights exactly what you're
saying here. There's a distance, there's some trouble deep inside
with home life, but also there's a spiritual element of
(11:40):
this that people aren't really discussing absolutely.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I mean, when you examine, you really examine his manifesto
and the motivations of the shooter, it becomes.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Clear that.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
It's about so much more than politics for him. This
is a person who is spiritually sick, who has been
a f We have to buy a much larger spiritual
crisis that has been happening in our country and amongst
my generation that cannot be resolved by mental health care
alone or by gun control. We need to ground ourselves
(12:16):
in the spirit, in God and give our ends and
find our armor in that. I think as our country
starts to return to Christ, we are going to see
an even greater spiritual attack and this will Unfortunately, this
violence is going to continue and as a country, we
(12:37):
need to guard ourselves through God.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I completely agree with that. So, speaking about the treatment
then of people who do struggle with gender dysphoria, in
a very real way. Why do you think it's different
than the way we treat people who are struggling with, say,
schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. I do wonder why is this
particular situation treated so differently than everything else.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
When it comes down to it, transgender ideology is not
only unscientific, it's also completely based on ideology. It's been
the perfect store, the perfect storm of trends mental illness
and hospital systems and interest groups capitalizing upon it. These
(13:24):
are procedures, and this is a political ideology that has
a lot of money flowing in and out of it.
And even even beyond even beyond money, even beyond the
surgeons and the politicians and the ideologues who are profiting
off of it, there are many more people who genuinely
believe that this is a human rights issue, that transgender
(13:49):
people genuinely are members of the opposite sex, that there
that they're in a world where people hate them, where
there is a genocide happening against them, and that there
is certed efforts to harm to strict these people of
supposedly life saving healthcare that when you actually examine it,
(14:10):
actually damages them.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
So people like people like me who speak.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
About the reality of this issue are often often targeted
because we're believed to be hateful individuals who are essentially
perpetuating crime against humanity.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
That's just a shame. I'm sorry about that, by the way,
with your experience and how you've been treated since you've
decided to detransition. But just to end on that note,
for the audience, for the world, for families out there
who are very concerned about the well being of their
children and they and their own situations, what is your
message for people out there who are genuinely struggling, and
for the people who are weaponizing this issue and pushing
(14:45):
this ideology onto the American people, knowing it leads to
stuff like this attack in Minneapolis.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Gender ideology in every single form and everything it touches,
leads to harm, either direct to families, to children like
me who were put on these treatments and have their
bodies damaged, and even to people such as the shooter
who was led down a path of spiritual confusion that
(15:13):
eventually led to him acting out and committing.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Violence and harming the people around him.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Sure we cannot help these confused individuals by leading them
further into the confusion. We have to stand and speak
for the truth.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Well said, and of course that's not to justify this
heinous action here in Minneapolis. And I am praying very
much for this community as hard as I can, because
it's heartbreaking, and that's why we pray, because we know
that God is listening to us down here, but it
needs to be addressed. There are core factors here that
we've identified. People are neglecting them. They're fueling this crisis,
and until we wake up and come to our senses,
(15:52):
we can expect to see a lot more of this.
So I'm really hoping and praying for the best, and
I want to thank you for your time today, Chloe,
thank you for opening up for.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Us, and thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Coming up next, one of our resident legal experts joins
us to discuss President Trump's call for George Soros and
his radical son to face RICO charges for allegedly sponsoring
America's destruction. More details after the break.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Welcome back to the real story. Accountability is an elusive thing.
See in a world where most people refuse to take
responsibility for their actions, people look to institutions to hold
them responsible. People turn to government to do something when
offenders otherwise won't, just to inevitably be disappointed by a
lack of results. Then, of course they swiftly lose trust
(17:04):
in their institutions, their leaders, and ultimately they lose hope. However,
every once in a blue moon, a real opportunity to
finally achieve accountability presents itself almost out of thin air,
and that might be exactly what's happening right now. So
case in point, President Trump is seeking some accountability for
(17:26):
Democrat billionaire mega donor George Soros, calling for him and
his son Alex to be prosecuted under the RICO Act.
Trump even made the call about it in a truth
social post on Wednesday, writing this, George Soros and his
wonderful radical left sun should be charged with RICO because
of their support of violent protests and much more all
(17:49):
throughout the United States of America. We're not going to
allow these lunatics to rip apart America anymore, never giving
it so much as a chance to breathe and be free.
Soros and his group of psychopaths have caused great damage
to our country. That includes his crazy West Coast friends.
Be careful, we are watching you. Thank you for your
(18:12):
attention to this matter. Interesting. Those are some pretty bold accusations,
but to be fair, he's not the only one to
suspect Soros of using his money to fuel America's destruction.
And now it's time to get to the truth of
what's really going on. Now we know that Soros, the
ninety five year old financier and philanthropist, has funneled billions
(18:35):
of dollars into liberal and communist causes through his Open
Society foundations, and just before leaving office, it was none
other than Joe Biden who awarded him the Presidential Medal
of Freedom, a move that only amplified suspicions of elite favoritism.
But to be very clear, at the same time, just
because the elite globist class in Washington loves him doesn't
(18:57):
mean that he's committed any crimes. Time will tell if
he really has. Should Trump's calls for prosecution lead to
concrete action from the DOJ, But in the meantime, the
Open Society Foundations fired right back against those claims on
x roughly three hours after Trump took to social media,
writing this, The Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros
(19:20):
and chaired by Alex Soros, do not support or fund
violent protests. Allegations to the contrary are false, and the
threats against our founder and chair are outrageous. Our mission
is to advance human rights, justice, and democratic principles in
the United States and around the world. We stand for
(19:40):
fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the US Constitution, including the rights
to free speech and peaceful protest. There are hallmarks of
any vibrant democracy. Interesting now, the DJ hasn't issued any
statements about the situation yet, but we'll be paying very
close attention to this story as it develops. Now Here
(20:00):
with his thoughts and analysis about it is Sam Arrajowski,
a legal analyst and radio host of the What's Write Show. Sam,
thank you for being.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Here well, Riley. Always great to be with you. Thank
you well.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
And this is a really interesting situation because millions of
people all over the planet have heard the name George Soros,
but he's one of these mysterious shadow figures that doesn't
really operate in plain sight. Many people don't know his backstory,
They don't know how he made his money, they don't
know what he stands for or what he's funding. So
this new spotlight from President Trump is very interesting to me.
(20:34):
I do wonder what you're thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Well, I think what Trump is going after here is
Soros and everybody like him who is funneling millions of
dollars into his system that is then wreaking havoc in
our society. And it isn't you know, with as conservatives
can't just fall into this trap of thinking that Sorous
(20:57):
is simply a promoting ideal logical causes this money went to.
When you look at the destruction in LA and the
anti ice protests, when you go back to the images
of the neatly wrapped center block bricks and the masks
and then the tents that went in for the Hamas protests,
they are funding the building blocks of destruction in our
(21:21):
great American cities. And so this is what happened. Trump
went and told them flat out, you continue to do
this and we will charge you under the Rico Statute.
And remember, you know, going to the law about what
this is. This is a the Rico law basically allows
(21:42):
you to go after an organization and it doesn't have
to be a formal organization. You don't have to have
a plan of action. You just have to prove enterprise.
You have to prove a pattern of racketeering activity, you
have to prove that there's a conduct there with the
participants involved, and then of course that there's an injury,
which there has been. And this is scary stuff I'm living.
(22:05):
We're living in an incredible timeline where we have a
US president actually going after these shadowy groups once and
for all.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Well, so, Sam, to your point, then who is really
facing liability here? Is it George and Alex Soros personally
or is it the Open Society foundations?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Well, I mean it would be this is what the
beauty of RICO is. I mean everybody, every single person
who participates in it, meaning it would be everyone from
the guy who who chopped up a cinder block brick
in LA and tossed a piece added to a CHP officer,
all the way up to the Soroses themselves. Really every
(22:42):
person who knowingly participated in this enterprise prize and caused
caused the you know, it contributed to the illegal illicit
acts to occur, would be held held responsible. So this
really has some teeth to it and is a frightening thing.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Okay, So then speaking to this rico charge, because there's
another question here that that you know, situation begets, which is,
has the funding of these organizations that seem involved in
these disgusting displays of anarchy? Is that a crime? And
if so, what could be the possible punishment? Is it
just a fine? Is it prison time? Speak to the
teeth of these allegations.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
For us, Well, again, if they're if you're using your
money to fund a group that is going out there
and destructing property, then there are numerous crimes, and there
are there are obviously there are criminal penalties, they're civil penalties,
there are expenses. I mean, this is this is a
it's a big deal, and I there are just oh sure, yeah,
(23:45):
oh absolute, absolutely. The damage to federal property for example
in LA, that's a federal crime.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
What about federal agents and federal ice agents for example?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
One hundred percent? And to the extent that Soros money
is going there, you know you're you're going to see
some chilling effect of that. I have to add one thing.
There's an interesting piece of news this week that Gates
announced that he was cutting funding to his Arabella Advisors group,
this far left wing group, and it came after a
(24:17):
three hour meeting that the Gates had in the White
House with with with the President. I'm convinced that Trump
isn't going just as Soros, but it's going to every
lib billionaire and multi millionaire and and basically in so
many words, telling him cut the stuff out or we're
going to come after you with everything that we've got.
(24:38):
And you know, the the takeaway here for your audiences
to understand that that there's the the lifeline of financial
support to Antifa, to all this wack a doodle stuff
that's been going on the Summer of George will never
happen again so long as Trump continues on this path
(24:58):
that he's that he's on. Nothing works anywhere without money. Yes,
if you cut off the money supply, all of this
highly organized subversive activity led by the left goes away overnight,
and you can get rid of a lot of funding
if you just dissuade Soros and Bill Gates and a
(25:21):
handful of other dudes to stop funding it. Period. So
I think this is kind of like ending the Wars
without sending any weapons. I think you can end this
without filing a single criminal charge against any of these
top dogs. I think you just you just put the
word out there. You keep this up, there will be consequences.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Okay, understood. Thank you for that insight, and thank you
for your time that I sam. I really appreciate it,
My pleasure. Coming up next, following the deployment of thousands
of US marines to the waters of Latin America and
the Caribbean, the Trump administration prepares to deploy warships to
the exact same area to counter the operations of drug cartels.
(26:03):
More details after the break.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Welcome back to the real Story. Now it's time to
turn our attention to an intensifying standoff between President Trump
and Nicholas Maduro, the head of Venezuela. They've been in
intense battle ever since the beginning of August, when Trump
doubled the award for his arrest to fifty million dollars
accusing him of working with drug cartels to flood America
(26:52):
streets with fenconyl laced cocaine, and now the tension between
them is expected to rapidly increase as the US government
prepares to deploy three warships to the waters off the
coast of Venezuela. Three US Navy destroyers, the USS Gravely,
USS Jason Dunham, and US S Samson are set to be
(27:12):
sent to patrol these waters in a month's long operation
aimed at countering drug cartels in the next few days,
although further details of the plants remain classified, but White
House officials have confirmed that this move is part of
a broader campaign to dismantle cartel operations that perpetuate violence
and US cities. And Maduro responded to the news swiftly,
(27:35):
mobilizing over four point five million militia members all over
his country. In addition, Venezuela's government deployed its own drones
and warships to monitor the country's coast on Tuesday, following
the news about the illumining deployment of US warships, a
move which also comes after the Trump administration sent thousands
of marines to the region just recently, so now looking ahead,
(28:00):
situation raises all sorts of questions about the future of
relations between the US and Venezuela, as well as the
US government's fight against transnational crime. Could it finally force
accountability on regimes that export chaos or could escalate into
a broader conflict under the guise of drug enforcement. With
Maduro's allies indicted and rewards mounting, the Trump Administration's strategy
(28:24):
signals a rejection of past appeasement, prioritizing American lives over
diplomatic niceties. Yet as Venezuela stone walls and deploys its forces,
we're all left pondering the risks to regional peace in
the world where socialists strong men align themselves with narco terrorists.
So here with reaction, as US Navy veteran and candidate
(28:47):
for Congress in the state of Texas, Commander Jay Furman, Commander,
thank you for being here.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Thank you, ROLLI, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
So this is a very interesting move, and I want
to get your thoughts about it, sir.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Are We're seeing geopolitics play at the edge.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Of the knife right now.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Absolutely My question for you then is do you think
this is going to be effective?
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Well?
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Absolutely, Strategic terrance is really the leading edge of that
knife or spear as we call it, tip the spear
and uh. And without that that big stick, you know,
held ready on our shoulder to wield if God forbid
we have to. But it's it's the credible threat that
makes that strategic terrence important. The Navy is our pre
(29:35):
eminent force to do so uh And and so yes
that the current array of of power on display for
Madureau to look at from his hideout as he is
hiding in his own parapets, is incritically important.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
He can he can bolster all he wants.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
At the end of the day, he knows he's an
isolated narco state that tried to undermine us UH in
the use of tonal warfare, sitting all forms drugs.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Trender aur Agua, what have you.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
He's fully wrapped into that business, that trade, whilst what's
under our ships is one of the biggest oil reserves
in the world, and he's malnourishing his nation in this
current economic policy, which is which is terrorism.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
And it's in our interest to do what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Absolutely, and I think that's the thing people need to
understand is that this is the last case scenario, right.
This is not an ideal situation by any stretch, and
taking physical force, mobilizing the US military is something of
a last resort that reflects the severity of the problem
we're dealing with, drugs like fentanyl becoming one of the
leading killers for Americans between the ages of eighteen and
(30:43):
forty five. It is truly an epidemic, and we know
where it's coming from. We have an idea of who's
trafficking these substances into the country. So now we're all
waiting for some real accountability for the people who are
pushing this poison into America. And it all goes back
to people like Maduro, which brings us to the arrest,
money the reward for his arrest. What do you think
(31:04):
about that strategy, Well, it's worked in the past.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
You know, in our in our global uh war on Terror,
we we had you know, entire playbook cards of uh
of of you know, of top leaders that we were
trying to roll up and that we're heads of the.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Snakes UH here.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
No less, you know, Latin America is really of recent
you know, outside of Trump's efforts, and he did a
great job as FIRS administration making overtures to uh to
South America.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
And here again he's doing it. Uh, I think very effectively.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
You just look at Ecuador and some others, Guatemala, the
entire uh that's up that the southern half of our
hemisphere really was a funnel into illicit trade into America,
and that was really the big game.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (31:51):
It's gonna be hard to sever those ties that really
undergird their economies as they tried to shift to a
sustainable economy that bringing crime doesn't bring the death and
destruction of their actual communities.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
That always attends it.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
That attended our border, as as our corrupt politicians brought in.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Where the the end of the tail that snake, if
you will.
Speaker 7 (32:14):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
And he kind of wink, wink and look the other
way as they're they're welcoming uh, you know, new American
citizens with with drugs on their backs. So so all
of that has to be severed at the head.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
So what we're doing with Maduro and his bounty is
absolutely spot on.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
He we don't legitimately, we don't recognize as legitimacy as
a president. He's stolen the election, uh, you know every
time he is, you know, supposedly been in power there
by an elected government.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
But we know it's not that.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
He is one of the most dangerous things to America
UH south of our border, and he's being used by
Russia and China UH and certainly the those cartels that
are trying to hold out and that are battling right
now for control. But he's really one of the biggest
mafio so of the bunch.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Well.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
And to think so many leaders in America have just
let this drug problem fester for years and years without
real action is just abysmal, shameful, heartbreaking. To think of
all the lives that have been lost to this crisis
is truly gut wrenching. So I hope when you go
to Washington, should you win your election, you can turn
things around, get this country back on the right track,
(33:19):
and clean up america streets once and for all, sir.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
That's what we're gonna do. Riley. I'm going right at
one of the tales of that snake.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
That's Henry Quay are twenty one year incumbent and District
twenty eight, the worst, the worst with the Texas border
hauled in more drugs, guns, money than any other place,
and he voting ninety five percent with the Biden's regime
in the height of the broken border, that really created
the demand signal for the madors of the world.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
We're going to cut that tail off.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Okay, it's music to my ears, sir, and thank you
for your time today. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Thank you, Riley, Take care, God bless.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Coming up next, we have star of the Netflix docu
series The Tiger King, Joe Exotic, joining the Real Story
from a federal penitentiary. He's got some horrific allegations of
sexual abuse at the hands of the prison guards themselves,
so you won't want to miss it. More details after
the break.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Welcome back to the Real Story. Joe Exotic, the mullet
sporting zoo keeper turned Netflix sensation in the twenty twenty
docu series Tiger King, Murder, Mayhem and Madness, sits rotting
in federal Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, alleging savage
prison abuse, including sexual assault by guards and medical neglect
(34:57):
amid his prostate cancer battle, all while serving a twenty
one year sentence for a murder for higher scheme against
arch nemesis Carol Baskin born Joseph Maldonado passage. This Oklahoma
showman built a wild empire at the Greater Wynwood Exotic
Animal Park, home to over two hundred big cats, where
(35:18):
he bred tigers, hosted cup petting tours, and even ran
for president in twenty sixteen, but fame turned fatal. Arrested
in September of twenty eighteen, convicted in April twenty nineteen
on seventeen federal animal abuse charges alleging the killing of
five tigers to make cage spase, and two counts of
(35:38):
plotting a hit on Baskin hiring undercover Feds for three
thousand dollars a pop now from behind bars, exotic blasts
the system, claims of moldy cells, staff brutality like alleged
sexual assault at the hands of guards, and ignored health crises.
With his earliest release in twenty thirty five at the
(35:59):
age of seven two. Here's what Joe Exotic even told
my colleague Matt Gets on his program earlier this year.
Speaker 7 (36:06):
You ever been raped?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I have not, have you.
Speaker 7 (36:09):
My people should have emailed you the bloody pictures tonight.
And that's what I've been through in not not just cancer,
but that's what I've been through. Okay. They a guard
tried to make me perform oral sex. When it didn't
go so good, eight of them beat me up, strip
me naked, and tied me in a chair and put
me in the shower for so long the skin came
(36:31):
off my arms.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Now, Joe appears to be making the best of his situation.
In fact, he married husband Jorge Flores Maldonado in prison,
begs Trump for a pardon, and slams the DOJ for
letting successor Jeff low Skate on similar animal neglect accusations
at the rebranded Zoo. Yet mainstream media glosses over this
American underdog's cries, while Feds ignore perjury admissions from witnesses
(36:57):
themselves in the trial. So is this just or jungle law?
Speaker 6 (37:02):
Now?
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Exotic Saga exposes the raw underbelly of federal prisons. Overcrowded
hellholes holding one hundred and fifty two thousand inmates rife
with abuse reports up thirty percent since twenty twenty, per
DOJ's own statistics. So, folks, if tigers could talk, they'd
roar for reform. Stay tuned as we dig deeper into
(37:22):
this cage rattling injustice. Now here with reaction is Joe Exotic,
also known as the Tiger King. Joe. Thank you for
being here.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
Hey, I appreciate having me.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
So we have a lot of questions today and not
so much time, but I want to address the urgent
matter right now regarding your case as to why you're
in prison, because you have a clemency case that has
been reopened by the White House based on claims of
perjury and coercion during your trial. So I want to
ask you first, how is that process going right now?
Speaker 7 (37:55):
Well, the White House notified the US Party attorney on
Edward Martin notified my lawyer's last Wednesday, and then my
counselor called me in his office here to prison Sunday,
and he had gotten an email from the White House
as well, asking about you know, me here to prison,
(38:17):
and you know he responded. He showed me what he
responded with, and that was you know, I've done twenty
different classes in the last six months. I haven't been
in any trouble. I've never disrespected any of the staff.
Five years from from going back to the world as
it is, and my security level is as low as
(38:39):
it can get. So he's hoping that President Trump and
Ed Martin will really consider giving me clemency, especially based
because you know, the government witness is all admitted to
perjury on world television and signed up at Davidson turned
over almost two hundred phone recordings of how they fabricated
(39:01):
evidence with the federal agents. So you know, even the
staff here at the prison says that I don't belong here.
You know, all we can do is pray.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Okay, So what exactly is the next step in the process, then, Joe,
what is the next step in this process?
Speaker 8 (39:18):
Then the next step is just waiting on mister Martin
to forward it to prison and Trump and prisident Trump
either approve it or not.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Okay, understood. Now I want to speak about your prison
or your experience in prison so far you've been you
were sentenced in twenty twenty to twenty two years in prison.
What has that experience been for you? Like so far.
Speaker 7 (39:44):
Well, you know, first of all, a lot of people
don't understand that I've actually been in prison since September
seventh of twenty eighteen, and I did not film for
Tiger King. They took all of that footage up of
my YouTube channel and everything else, so everybody thinks that
I got rich and everything else. I didn't get a
dying from that. But you know, when Tiger King came
(40:07):
out right before March, what was the nineteenth of twenty
twenty was my first day of actual federal prison was
March the twenty fifth, And because of that, it kind
of really destroyed my life altogether, because because of all
the hype, the news media, the people in front of
(40:29):
the prison and everything else. I spent the first two
years and eight months of prison life in solitary confinement. Wow,
and that was probably the hardest thing I've ever done.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
In my life.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Yeah, if you could please speak to the toll that
has taken on you, because that's really significant.
Speaker 7 (40:47):
Joe. I, well, I mean, it's really it's really hard,
you know, And I don't know if you've seen any
of the pictures from when I was at the federal
holdover in Oklahoma City where they stripped me, and they
can tie me in a chair and put me to
show for so long a skin came up my arms,
you know. And I've been in solitary for two years
and eight months. But you know, when you when you're
sitting in a six by tulsa concrete room by yourself
(41:09):
for that long a time, you know, I prayed every
day that my heart would stop. That the country that
I love and the country that you know, I've made
it fifty five years without even a speeding ticket, and
I did as much as I could to be a
good person. And to sit in that room for two
(41:30):
years and eight months by myself, I prayed every day
for my heart to stop because I couldn't believe that
the United States of America was actually doing this to me.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Wow, but you're hoping that we'll come to an end
at some point soon with this new clemency case, Isn't
that right?
Speaker 7 (41:45):
I pray every day. I wake up every morning and
go to bed praying every day. You know, my parents
have died since since I've been in here. I've lost
every time. And all I want is President Trump to
give me a second chance to show him and show
the world that I make this call. It's from a
(42:05):
federal prison, but I'm still here. That's just a message
that the phone puts in.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
Okay, I understood.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
Joe.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
First of all, thank you for sharing and just opening
up with us today. I truly appreciate it. But in
addition to prayer, then, how else do you cope with
being behind bars?
Speaker 7 (42:26):
Well, I mean, keep in mind, I'm in a medical center, okay,
because I have a disease called a common variable immune disease,
which I have no immune system, so they have to
give me blood infusions every six weeks, and I've done
that my whole life. But you know, I'm fighting crusty
cancer and lung cancer on top of that. So I'm
(42:46):
the prison that I'm in here in Forward, Texas is
really kind of like a college campus more or less.
It's behind the fence, but there's no bars and there's
no doors where we live in dorms. So you know,
it's a hell of a lot better than solitary con climate,
but it's still prison.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
Okay, understood, So what what is my next question is
about the quality of medical care that you're getting in
this facility right now? What can you tell us about that?
Speaker 7 (43:16):
Joe America would be a shame that the taxpayers are
paying for what's going on in here. I you know,
I did a year of chemon radiation and spent a year,
you know, lucked in a room by myself, qu can
every day, and I watched so many people die because
(43:38):
it doesn't matter if you have cow cancer or lung cancer.
They are going to give you the same treatment no
matter what, and as soon as you die, they're going
to fill a bed with somebody else. So it's it
really is sad. And that's probably one of my biggest
goals when I make it out of here, is I
want to testify in front of Congress because they have
(44:02):
no clue what goes on in here between that, between
the drugs and everything else that goes on behind these
walls is insane.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
Well, so let's talk about that. Then. What else would
you like to share with us about what goes on
behind those walls?
Speaker 7 (44:18):
Well, I, you know, there's no help for most of
these people. And that's the sad part and my goal
and my drive to make it out of here and
tell my real story. You know, I've been super strong
and through everything that I've been through, I haven't touched
(44:38):
any drugs, alcohol, or tobacco in the eight years I've
been fighting this, but I have seen it ruins so
many people because there's no help in here, and there's
so many people that are overdosing. And I all day
because there's nothing else to do.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
Understood, tell us a little bit more than also about
the guards, the leaders, the facilitators inside of these centers
that you're in right now. What is the leadership like
and the sort of uh you know, the people who
are looking over and monitoring people. What is your experience
with them like?
Speaker 7 (45:16):
You know that I've been to four different places. I've
been to Atlanta Penitentiary. I've been to Tallahassee pen I've
been the butter and I've been here uh as far
as the prisons, and then I've been to several hollovers.
But uh, the staff uh here are actually really good.
Speaker 3 (45:35):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (45:35):
I have never had any problem with any of the
staff or actually any of the inmates. And and the
selling next to me was actually kid Kevinski. But uh
and and I've got along with everyone, but uh, the
staff here are exhausted. I they're overworked, and they're working
double and triple shifts because the BOP is just that
(45:58):
short staff, especially with the medical staff there. They're so
short of medical staff that everybody has burned out. But
the staff is one hundred percent really actually pretty decent people.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
That's very interesting, And so you would say generally we're
treating medical facility.
Speaker 7 (46:16):
You know, the buildings. The buildings are calling apart, you know,
and the staff. All I can say is the established tired.
They actually need some help and some money.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
Okay, Now, Joe, millions of people all over the world
they know who you are, even though you don't know them.
They know your persona. They've they've at least seen representations
of you in this infamous docuseries that came out in
twenty twenty. Everybody knows about it. But like you said,
you weren't actually involved in the filming process whatsoever, and
you haven't benefited from the production of that docuseries at all.
(46:52):
So for people around the world who are wondering, truly,
in his heart of hearts, who is Joe Exotic and
what does he stand for?
Speaker 7 (47:00):
What would you say to Well, you know, I saw
Tiger King for the first time about eight months ago
because my lawyers were allowed to bring it in on
a laptop because we're working on some civil suits. What
I was most disappointed in the whole thing is they
had an agenda, and that agenda was to make exotic
(47:20):
animal people, especially me because I was the largest breeder
of tigers in the United States, to make us look
like drug addicts and crazy people so they could pass
the Big Cat Safety Act. And what they didn't tell
my story. You know, everything that you saw was scripted
for reality show that I was filming for a company
(47:42):
in la that never made it to TV yet. But
what they forgot to put in there was all of
the charity work that Joey Cutek was all about, and
that was opening the zoo every holiday for free, feeding
people for free, and nowhere to go Granton last voices
for guying little kids and everything else. But help me
(48:06):
get out of here. I put create Joey Exotic everywhere,
and let me show the world who Joey really is,
because he's not just that crazy guy you saw on television.
And Michelle is the sink deep, which means it's going
to hang up any second. So I just want to
say thank you and thanks to everybody around the world,
because without your letters, I probably would have never made
(48:26):
it two years and eight months.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
Okay, well, thank you for your time, Joe, I really
appreciate it. Coming up next, we have a very special
announcement to make about the network and you definitely won't
want to miss it. So stay right there, We'll be
