If you missed one lots of big news today, I'm

(02:09):
gonna go through elevant quickly and then we'll go to
detail during the show, it's happening. What I say on
TV and radio as a talk show host and as
a seer, as a prophet who sees what's going to
happen before it happens, is now coming out of the
mouths of President Trump and leading players in the trumpdministration.

(02:32):
For years, I've said the Democrats are evil. For years,
I've said they're radical communists.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
For years.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
I've said they are run by Satan. President Trump said
that just a day ago. Evil Satan, horrible people. Here's
Stephen Miller, one of the top officials in the Trump administration,
calls the Democrat Party an extremist organization. Says evil Sanctuary
city mayors still defying ice detainers, and now they face
criminal charges for harboring and smuggling.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Let's all hope it's really.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Happening and they're gonna put these people in jail, and
eventually we might see some real criminal charges like treason,
not minor stuff like ady in a betting. How about treason?
You know what you get for treeson the death penalty.
I would love it to see some of these guys
if found guilty. I'm not into mob law, and everyone's
innocent until it's proven guilty, So no one can get me.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
All the liberal organizations.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Media matters, what's the only one, right wing whatever it's.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Called, All these.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Organizations from the left that tape every word I say,
every one of them wants to get me in trouble.
Guess what, no mob rule. Only the police or the
FBI can come get you. Nobody wants a mob to
get you. I don't want a mob to hang.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
In the street.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Nobody wants you to be found guilty unless you are
guilty in a court of law. You're innocent till proven guilty.
But if a Democrat politician is found guilty of treason,
I'd like to be there when they hang them in
the town square.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
How about that one? What are you gonna get me
for that one?

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Nothing wrong with that. That's what they did the Rosenbergs.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
They hung them. Or maybe they gave him the electric chair.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
I don't even know. Probably the electric chair. So we'll
give the Democrats the electric chair or a angam or
a nice shot or a firing squad. But not for
being a Democrat, not for being liberal.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
I have liberal friends. I'm Jewish for being a trader
to America.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Look at someone like Mayor Pete but ed jed jed
jed jed Jedge. I call him Mayor Pete butt head,
the mayor, the gay mayor of South Bend. Can't make
this stuff up.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I could say more of it, I'll get in trouble,
so I'll shut up.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
The gay mayor of South Bend before he became the
Transportation Secretary of the United States and screwed up the
entire transportation for our country. Everybody forgets. Wayne Root is
a mind like an elephant. That's why I'm a Republican.
I'm represented by elephants.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
I remember everything everyone's forgotten.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
As the mayor of South Bend, he developed a system,
an early warning system to call every illegal aliot at
South Bend when Ice was coming to.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Town and tell them to hide. That's treason.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Instead of being the Treasury secretary, he should have been
put on trial for treason and it found guilty. Whether
it be life in prison, breaking rocks and gitmo or
firing squad or or whatever form of death penalty you'd like,
that's what you get for treason. Nobody understands this Mayor
Pete is a trader.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
What he did is treason. Here's another one.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Karen Bass demands end to ICE raids that captured illegal
alien child molester working at.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
A car wash.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
You know again, these people are traders. There's nobody that
wants to be a democratic. Where I just saw it,
I'll get to it.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
In the next segment.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
I didn't have a chance to even do my staple
job and get it in front of me right. Oh,
I see we're stuck on the screen. I don't know
what just happened, but we're probably down for a second.
But having said that, oh, just a our end.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
It's just on our end, all right.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Having said that, it's so amazing to me that these people,
anyone would vote Democrat for these people, And I saw
the article. In the last couple of years, we've lost
to a Democrat party has lost I think two point
five million voters and Republicans have gained two point five
million voters, so a negative positive net of five million

(06:24):
for the GOP nationwide in states all over this country.
Nobody believes in what Democrats believe in. They don't believe
in fighting for illegals. They don't believe congressmen should travel
get on a plane and travel to foreign countries to
bring someone back who's a scumbag who had no right
to ever be in our country in the first place.
They don't believe the nation belongs to transgender weirdos who

(06:45):
are mentally ill nut jobs. They don't believe this stuff.
They don't believe the green energy for should tripleck what
droop of their electric bills and their gas bills. They
don't believe everyone should be mandated to get a COVID vaccine.
They don't believe everyone should be mandated to drive an
election for car This is what.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
People don't believe in.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
This is what the Democrat Party risks everything for and
they're losing. They're committing suicide. Karen bast demand's an.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
End to ice raids. That captured illegal alien child molester.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Maybe you should fight for the children, not the child molesters.
Here's a clueless Democrat congressman, Representative Suhas Supra.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Munyam of.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
This is the Democrat Party if you can't pronounce their
name because they don't belong in America.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
They're a congressman, Representative Sue.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Haas Supra Munyam of Virginia. He's a clueless Democrat congressman
that as sists that illegal aliens don't commit crimes.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
These are the people that should be arrested.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
They need to be arrested, not just banned from Congress.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
We need to put them in prison because they've stolen
their seats. I'm telling you nobody would elect people like this.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Tulsea Gabbert says, the state agents are sabotaging us elections.
Of course they are, whether they're stealing them with the
electronic voting machines, changing votes, hacking into them, whether they're
stealing with voter no voter ID, and millions of fake
mail in ballots, no matter what's happening, there's a thousand

(08:18):
ways they're steal election. Voter mail in ballots, ballot harvesting,
ballot dropboxes, voting for six, seven, eight days after election,
county votes. This is all insanity. This is insanity, and
this is how they win elections.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
I gotta write a column. Would Democrats win one race
if they weren't stealing?

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Of course, the deep state is sabotaging US elections. Of
course they're changing vote totals. But what's even more damning
is they changing foreign country vote totals.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
They're and they're advising other countries.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
South Korea has been taken over by the communists, just
like Canada has been taken over by the communists. South
Korean police raid the former prime minister party office after
he dared to question election fraud. It's the same as America.
Trump questioned election fraud and they raided Mara a Lago

(09:14):
his home and they had shoot to killer orders. They
wanted to kill him. I questioned Barack Obama, whether he
ever went to Columbia University. If you went to Columbia,
why does he not ever seem by anyone in Columbia.
And I had the IRS knocking on my door after
that and a four year IRS attack where they tried
to destroy my life and bankrupt me, ruined my life.

(09:35):
They would have liked it if I committed suicide, if
I ate a gun, They would have loved it if
I stuck a gun in my mouth and blew my
brains out. You scumbags, you government democrat Irs, scumbags.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
You're all dirty and your scum and you steal the
people's money. You're all thieves.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
But it's obvious to me that Obama and people like
Obama must be advising, they must be being paid, you know,
five hundred thousand a month by the government of South
Korea teaching him how to steal elections. And once you
steal the election with corrupt, fraudulent votes, then how do
you destroy the opposition if they even bring up election fraud,
You destroy them. You raide their home, you raid their office,

(10:14):
you throw people in jail, you intimidate. That's what they
did in America. That's what they're doing in South Korea.
I guarantee you, guarantee you they're getting advised by Obama
and people like him. And then, last, but not least,
I want to mention this opening segment. All the judges
are dirty and corrupt. Here's a judge that got shot
deadness courtroom. Why do you think he got shot deadness?

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Courtroom?

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Kevin Mullins, district judge in Kentucky, shot dead in his
office at the courthouse by his friend, Sheriff Sean Steins.
That case has been in the headlines for months, but
now it's taken a new turn as a woman has
charged that the judge was running a depraved sex ring
from his judge's office, and they've documented the twist of

(10:57):
the case involving the death of Mullins. Witness told police
Mullins ran his chambers like a brothel and was seen
having sex with a girl inside his office.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
He was letting people go if they were cute women
in return for sex. Folks, the judges your all dirty.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
The deep state's dirty, The deep state DC swamp is dirty.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
They're all communists. They're stealing elections.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
All right, Wayne alan Root, the Root, the Root, the
root is on fire.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
I want to get back to that story about the
judge because I'm telling you, I think all the judges
are dirty. Do do I mean every single judge in America? No,
but a lot of them, A lot of them, especially
the Rhinos who rule against Trump and the Democrats who
rule against Trump. They're on the payroll of the Mexican
drug cartel. Judges make a lousy one twenty five, one

(15:29):
fifty year maybe at the most one seventy five, I'm
telling you. And yet they live in lavish mansions, they
got great lives. They all run for reelection every year.
Why why don't they want to get it? Go out
in the private sector and be lawyers with the name judge, right, judge,
Wayne Alan Root, you'd make a fortune as a lawyer.
Why because you don't make all you could steal. As
a lawyer, you just get a salary from your law firm.

(15:51):
But the judges, it's all you can steal. It's one
hundred and fifty thousand year plus all you could steal
from the Mexican drug cartel and bribes.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
They're all dirty.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
The shooting death of Kevin Mullin's district judge in Kentucky
in his office in the courthouse by his friend, Sheriff
Sean Steins allegedly has been in the headlines for months,
but now a woman has charged that the judge was
running a depraved sex ring from his government office. Taya Adams,
another alleged victim, has now come forward with her account,

(16:20):
saying she first knew Judge Mullins through his former role
as a Commonwealth attorney. She confirm the judge introduced her
to his friends. One witness said he ran his chambers
like a brothel, was seen having sex with a girl
inside his office. This girl says, we would do sex
parties and perform shows and have sex sex with them

(16:43):
for money.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Things like that.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
They would make sure to make you feel as small
and degraded and belittled.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
As possible to take your power away.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
It was consensual, but it was the thing that we
were so young, and they used it against us to
destroy our lives. He's doing with the power. He holds
my entire life in his hands. He's the one who
gets to the side whether I keep my children or not.
He's the one who makes a decision whether I go to.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Jail or not. Wow. She confirmed she was warned to
stay silent. Who would believe it anyway?

Speaker 3 (17:11):
The whole town was doing it. They're all swingers. It's
all a big party to them. It's just normal.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
It's really unbelievable what's going on in our country.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
I'm telling you. The people with the power are dirty, evil.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Scumbags from Satan, and the judges are all part of it.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Now, all of them, No, but a lot of them,
a lot of them.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
You show me a judge that rules in favor of
Illey galalliens, I'll show you a judge who's probably in
with the Mexican drug cartel, not only getting money and
offshore accounts, but the cartel gives them little girls to
have sex with. Come on, if you don't believe this stuff,
you're living in a dream world. If you don't believe
what's going on. These people are all swingers. They're all

(17:53):
getting laid with young girls, and they're getting sent Mexican prostitutes.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
And that's why they rule in favor all the time.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Time someone needs to study forensic audits of these judges.
They're all dirty as could be. Here's another dirty one.
Trump demands FED governor must resign now amid.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
A mortgage fraud probe.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
You realize, Ed Martin, my buddy, is the special counselor
now going after Letitia James and Adam Schiff for lying
on mortgage applications, committing mortgage fraud. Now we've got a
FED governor, a FED governor, the director of Federal Housing
Finance Agency is urging a G. Pambondi to investigate Federal

(18:34):
Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over a pair of mortgages.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Same story.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Latest in this series of moves by the Trump administration
to increase legal scrutiny of Democrat figures and appointees. But
you should scrutinize Democrat judges. Wayne Root has broken the
whole story. The judges are all compromised. They're getting paid
to protect illegal allians. Oh my god, how much money
must be going on behind the scenes, behind the in

(19:00):
the robes.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
That's why they got big black robes.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
They hand them piles of cash to stick in the
black robes, and they hand them little girls backstage.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
FHFA director Bill Polti wrote a letter to ag Bondi
and DOJ official Ed Martin, my boy Ed Martin, that
Cook may have committed a criminal offense. They allege Cook
falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable
loan terms, potentially committing mortgage fraud under criminal statue. She

(19:30):
signed a mortgage agreement that stipulated she would use the
property as their primary residence for at least a year.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Same thing. They don't think it's a big.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Deal to lie, But if I do it or you
do it, we go to prison. You know what, I've
never lied on a mortgage application. Screw you set up
at prison for thirty years.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
All right.

the sponsor of this segment, Energized Health, who changed.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
My life because.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
They came to me to sponsor my show five years ago,
just about five years ago, a couple months shy of
five years and they said, well, only sponsor your show
if you get on the program. And I said, I
don't need to get on the program. I'm in great shape,
I'm in great health.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
I'm thin.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
They said, nope, everyone has fat inside their body. They
don't know they've got inner body. Vistraal fat, we make it,
just melt off your body. I got on the program,
they became the sponsor. I lost twenty five pounds of fat,
gain ten pounds of muscle in only eighty eight days.

forty percent off Isabelle Vincent is my guest investigative reporter
for my favorite newspaper in America, The New York Post.
Co author of the upcoming book about the corruption of
Senator Bob Menendez.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Of New Jersey, formerly of New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
Gold Bar Bob The Downfall of the Most Corrupt US Senator,
Isabelle Vincent.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Welcome the show. How are you.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
Hi? Thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
My pleasure, My pleasure. Hey, the only quarrel I have
with you.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
I love the title of the book, and I love
you investigating Bob Menendez.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
But you call them the most corrupt Senator.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
I think they're all corrupt. I think they're all dirty.
I think he was maybe maybe he is the.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Most but there's different levels of corruption.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
But boy, the senators, the congressman, Isabelle, I think, like
you find, eighty out of the one hundred are taking bribes.
That's how bad I really think it is in the
United States House and the United States Senate nowadays.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
These people are all on the take from somebody.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
I don't disagree with you.

Speaker 5 (25:35):
But the reason that Bob Menendez stands as such an
icon to corruption is because during his trial, the jury
was given the.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Gold bars to hole.

Speaker 5 (25:48):
So Bob Menendez accepted gold bars from the people that
he was doing favors for a bunch of businessmen in
New Jersey, one of whom was tied to the Egyptian government.
And so I think that really sealed his fate when
the prosecutor gave each member of the jury gold.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Bars to actually hold.

Speaker 5 (26:10):
I mean, in addition to gold bars, they found like
four hundred and fifty thousand dollars in bills and stuffed
into the shoes of you know, his closet in New Jersey.
So you couldn't say that he was not corrupt.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, he was very correct.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
The only thing I'm arguing is, well, I wonder if
we looked in the closets of every senator, if they
all have.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Gold bars in cash, that's the only thing.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
That's the only thing I'm wondering, or certainly offshore accounts.
Most of them are dumb enough to keep it in
their house, but they got an offshore accounts somewhere where
the money gets wired in, you know.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
But remember the dude, the congressman in the South who
had like one hundred thousand dollars in his freezer.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
I forget his name right now, but it's it's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
It is.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
It's all I do with the Post cover corruption and
money laundering through.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
Your busy dat uh, through.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
Five oh one c threes, through through through nonprofits, and yeah,
I've been doing it. I mean, I was the first
to cover black lives matters, you know, all of the
money that that went astray, and I you know, I
was called a white supremacist journalist for that, but I
was right because afterwards everybody, you know, it took them.

(27:26):
It took other reporters about two years to sort of
figure it out. But afterwards, uh, I mean, nobody remembered
that I'd done the first stories. But whatever, I had
the satisfaction knowing that I'm just working with the public record,
and that's what the public record said.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
So Isabelle, you have the best job. You'll never be
out of a job. If you cover corruption in politics,
You'll be forever.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
I know.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
It's it's truly amazing.

Speaker 5 (27:52):
And I lived in I uh was a correspondent in
Africa and and Brazil before I came to the United States,
and I thought that was corrupt.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
But then I got to New York.

Speaker 5 (28:03):
And I was like, whoa, the corruption here is insane.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yes, I grew up in New York. By the way,
I grew up in a mafia neighborood.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
I'm the only Jewish kid from a mafia neighborhood on
the Bronx borderline, so believe.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
And the neighborhood was half mafia and half cops.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Everyone's either cop or a gangster. And believe me, they
were all tied together. I saw that corruption for the day.
I was old enough to understand what was going on,
probably from the age of ten on. I said, nothing
gets done without a payoff. Nothing in New York, you know.
So you talk about Brazil, it's unbelievable. You know, I
feel sorry for It's not in the notes that we
were going to talk about. But the lady who married

(28:39):
gold Bar Bob Menendez, right, she married him, and I
probably shouldn't fee bad because she probably married him for
his power and his money. But I mean, she really
thought she was having, you know, a dream life.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Right.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
She gets married to a US senator and the next
thing you know, he's using her as the go between,
like Hunter Biden for Joe, and she gets convicted and
she's facing a long time in prison.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
Right, Yeah, she's going to be sentenced, She's going to
be sentenced in September. But he threw her under the bus.
And this is something that Bob has done during his
whole career. He threw his mentor in the nineteen eighties.
He threw his mentor, Bill Musto, who was the Democratic
Party boss in Union City, New Jersey. He threw him

(29:23):
under the bus during during his corruption trial. And so
this is like a pattern of behavior because they he
and his wife are both convicted of the same things.
They're about to do the trial together, and he separates
the trial so that he can so that he can
possibly win and and blame her for all of the corruption.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah, I'm sure she.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
Who wanted the Mercedes.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
She's no brain surgeon, but she really got the She
became the patsy in this whole thing, right, I mean
that's kind of the way I see her.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:59):
Yeah, and she's gonna as you said, she's probably going
to get right now, what I heard from a source
is that her new set of lawyers are trying to
vacate her conviction based on the fact that they didn't
that the old set of lawyers did not have enough
time to prepare for her trial, which is kind of
ridiculous because she kept putting it off, putting it off.

(30:22):
She does she she was suffering from breast cancer, so
you feel kind of sorry for her, especially after Bob
blamed everything on her and never once accompanied her part
of the trial.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
And so when she was found guilty, then what happened
to his trial? Did he then plead at that point?
I'm not sure about the details. What happened to him head.

Speaker 5 (30:47):
His trial was first he was convicted of all sixteen
counts of.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
You know, accepting.

Speaker 5 (30:55):
Bribes, conspiring to work as a foreign agent for Egypt
and her, and then he was sentenced to eleven years
in prison. And he just started serving that sentence in
the summer. So he's in prison and she's about waiting
sentenced on September fifteen.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Got it? What's you're plugged into this whole thing? What's
the sense?

Speaker 3 (31:18):
Is she going to get a little less than him
or is she going to get the book thrown at her?

Speaker 5 (31:24):
I think she's going to get the book thrown at
her because I don't know if you remember, but one
of the reasons that she needed a new Mercedes and
this doesn't really figure into the trial, but it's like
a moral situation. One of the reasons she needed a
new car was is she crashed her old car and
she crashed into a pedestrian and killed him in New
Jersey and kind of, you know, walked away from that,

(31:47):
and everybody forgotten about that until all of this corruption
came out into the open and then we realize, oh, well,
she killed this forty something man who was crossing the street,
and nobody, you know, never ever, nobody had heard of it.
The family didn't get any kind of compensation, so she
didn't get in trouble at all. The police didn't didn't

(32:09):
do a breathalyzer, didn't do anything. She just called a
friend who sent in a retired cop to talk her.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
Out of the situation. And it's very well documented.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Wow, I don't know, you know now, I don't feel
sorry for guilty. Now, I don't feel sorry for so much.
I didn't even know about that. Say, you don't hear
about these things.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Only someone who's intricately tied to the details of the
case like you would know that, you know, especially in
New York. I'm all the way to Las Vegas. I
didn't I knew the general idea that he had gold
and cash in his closet, and and she was the wife,
and she was kind of a conduit like Hunter is
for Joe Biden.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
So h can you stay for another segment, as bell,
I want to cover a lot more ground. Okay, hang out,
kick break, We're going to break.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
I want to talk about ad non Kushogi right ko shogi?

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (32:53):
This Koushogi guy was poisoned acted, dozens of pieces snuck
out of the Saudi consolated instable Istanbul. And why would
Menendez be involved in that?

Speaker 1 (33:03):
But her book says he was. So we'll be right back.

(36:49):
back the Route, the Rout, the Roots on Fire, the
war Zone. Welcome to the war Zone, the mecca of Maga.
Isabel Vincent is our guest investigative reporter.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
In your post, my.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Favorite newspaper, by the way, since I was a kid
in New York, so we're going back to the nineteen
eighties in New York.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
I love the New York Post.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
Got it every Day, co author of the upcoming book
about the corruption of Senator Bob Menendez Goldbar Bob, The
Downfall of the most Corrupt US Senator Isabel Vincent.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Welcome back to the show, to the War Zone. How
are you?

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Thank you? Thank you for keeping me on.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Yeah, so I.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
Wanted to hear about this Kushogi guy. In twenty eighteen,
Koushogi was poisoned, hacked into dozens of pieces, and snuck
out of the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. What did Bob
Menendez have to do with that one? He was covering
it up. Why was he doing that because they were
paying him to make sure it never became a big story,
I guess.

Speaker 4 (37:47):
So. Jamal Koshogi was a Saudi journalist.

Speaker 5 (37:52):
He was a columnist for the Washington Post, and he
had been very instrumental in raising awareness of the Arab Spring.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
About all of the.

Speaker 5 (38:03):
Uh all of the protests that were going on across
the Middle East.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
He goes into.

Speaker 5 (38:10):
Just and just to add a little bit of interest,
his his uncle was Adnan Kashogi, who was a very
big arms merchant from Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
Also at one time, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (38:25):
He was also at one time friends with Osama bin Laden,
although it ended who was also Saudi, although their friendship
had ended. When you know, Osamo is on the wrong
side of history. So he goes to the he goes
to the Saudi consulate and Issembole to get some paperwork done.

(38:47):
He's married, he has a wife in Virginia. He's on
this tour of Europe to promote the Arab Spring. He
goes in and he never comes out. What happens is
that he's poisoned and then hacked into you know, you know,
hundreds of pieces.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
I mean, he's murdered and.

Speaker 5 (39:12):
The Egyptian intelligence provided the drugs to murder him. Now,
remember the Arab Spring is a big deal in Egypt.
The protests are happening there, so Egypt has a real
incentive to get rid of this guy who's a mouthpiece
for all of these protesters. So Bob Menendez at that time,

(39:35):
and this was something that that briefly came out of
his trial. But Jamal Kashogi was never mentioned in the
in the trial transcripts, there were only clues as to
as to who he was, and everybody nobody really paid attention.
And I started to pay attention to it when I
was doing research for my book. So Bob Menendez at

(39:58):
that time in octob Over of twenty eighteen, when Jamal
Kachogi walks into that consulate, Bob Menendez is being paid
gold bars through a go between of Egyptian intelligence. After
Kashogi dies, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, of which Bob

(40:20):
Menendez is.

Speaker 4 (40:23):
The head of minority leader.

Speaker 5 (40:27):
And then when Biden comes to takes over, the Egyptians
want like three hundred million dollars worth of military equipment
armaments that have been held up because of their bad
human rights record.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
So get another example of them getting out right, so right.

Speaker 5 (40:50):
So they go to Bob through his wife and through
the Egyptian businessman in New Jersey who's providing Bob with
all this cash and gold bars, and they.

Speaker 4 (41:01):
Say, hey, you know, we need your help.

Speaker 5 (41:04):
In setting up for these questions that the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee is going to ask us, can you give
us some pointers? So Bob gives them pointers and helps
them cover up what what to the world is one
of the most egregious murders of a reporter. I mean
it was a columns, but but still and and to

(41:28):
this day, like that whole you know scenario has never
really been explained. And as a result of that, Bob
pins all of the blame for this on Saudi Arabia
and they.

Speaker 4 (41:49):
Paying them.

Speaker 5 (41:50):
So it was but but that is but that is
what the past bought at the time.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
So it was that scenario that everybody believed.

Speaker 5 (42:00):
And now when we we've gone through his trial and
I've gone through the transcripts and really looked at this
with my co writer Thomas Anderson, I.

Speaker 4 (42:08):
Mean we both found like, this is this is crazy.

Speaker 5 (42:11):
He he lied, he because of corruption in order to
create something that's not true.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
And then you had all these geopolitical issues as a
result of that. So Egypt gets their weapons, right, you know,
in years later.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
So and even when your book comes out, still years later,
it's the blow is softened. In other words, at the time,
they would have been the pariah of the world. But
now it's been years and no one will ever really
make a big deal of it. The murder was long
ago and nobody cares anymore. That's what they count on.
They count on time, you know, erasing all the anger.
And they got their way because Bob Menendez. How do

(42:49):
people pre order your book? We got a few seconds
quickly pre ordered the book as well.

Speaker 5 (42:54):
Oh, you can pre order it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble,
anywhere you get books.

Speaker 4 (42:58):
