Myron Fuller met Donald Trump in 1976. He was a FBI agent at the time, and he met with Trump regarding purchasing Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. The hotel had a reputation of being owned and run by the mob. That means it was a part of organized crime. Trump was asked about him attempting to purchase the hotel, and Trump stated he had looked into buying it but decided not to do it.
00:00:22
When told about the hotel's possible mob ties, Trump didn't flinch nor did he show any concern. Fuller stated he wished he had looked more into Trump. It's your boy, O King Johnny. I'm back.
00:00:36

In the words of Donald J. Trump? It's a mess. The country is a mess. Oh, man.
00:04:59
I actually did research for this one. I've been down the rabbit hole. It's to separate the two podcasts. It's to separate the two podcasts. It's to separate

00:05:40
Let's separate the two podcasts. Run, run, better run.
00:05:47
We are back. I tell you, it is it's taken me a long time to bring you guys this episode because, before I before I wanted to, before I set out to talk about this, I wanted to do some homework, some research, and and just get some facts, in regards to, Trump. I'm one of those people that, I have had a serious, fascination about a few political incidents. Right? I think back to, like, maybe middle school, early high school, I got really, really fascinated with the the assassination of John f Kennedy and all the things that happened in that area of time.
00:06:48
So John f Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy, like, for a long time, like, that Kennedy assassination had me in a choke hold. I will watch documentaries about it. I will read things about it. When sixty Minutes will run things about it, I will watch it. You know, anything that will come up that was related to John f Kennedy, I was on it.
00:07:12
I remember there was a show on Hulu. I'm a get the name for you guys. But it was, it was about a guy who he was able to travel back in time, and he, he ended up crossing paths with Oswald before he assassinated Kennedy. And, you know, going through the going and running to this timeline, he had the mind to wanna, he had the mind to wanna try to stop the assassination of Kennedy. But the problem was when you change when you change or you affect things in the past, it affected the present and future.
00:07:58
Right? So so it it it it was tricky. And, you know, along the way, he he, he met a girl and started, you know, falling in love with the girls. Like, all these things going on. You know?
00:08:13
And he was so deep in it that he was forgetting, like, yo, you're traveling back in time. Like, you can't get too connected to this stuff. But, I gotta find that name for y'all. Okay. The series was called eleven twenty two sixty three.
00:08:27
So if you ever wanna check that out, check that out. But, back to, what I was talking about. So there was the Kennedy thing along with, you know, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy. I I betched that altogether. And then the second political rabbit hole that I really went down was September 11.
00:08:52
And, man, if if you are, like me and will entertain conspiracies for the sake of entertainment, man, September 11 is definitely one of those things, man. For a long time, years. When I'm talking I'm talking about years. That thing had me in a choke hold. I'd I watched any and everything I could in regards to September 11.
00:09:23
And here I am on a third, down a third political rabbit hole, and it's Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. And who would have thought in a million years that I would be this fascinated by a person? Donald Trump, yo, this is the most interesting thing that I have been, engulfed with in a while. And what I find interesting about it, as you as you go back and you start doing research and you start really, like, trying to find some some facts about him because, you know, Donald Trump you know, we always heard about Donald Trump over the years. At least I have.
00:10:15
You know what I mean? And I do believe that most people that voted for him voted for him out of that. Like, he felt familiar. Right? But and we've heard things.
00:10:29
You know, we over the years, we heard things about Trump. You know, they always talk about his his companies failing and you know, we heard these things over the year. But there was a certain type of familiar familiarity with with Donald Trump. And I and, you know, like I talked about on my show, Find Your Peace. I don't wanna go back over it again.
00:10:51
But just real briefly, I think a lot of people, they vote out out of popularity. Like, it's a popularity contest. We don't we I'm saying we, myself included. We don't do the proper research on candidates and politicians. And I think the overarching the overarching problem that we have now is that our government is filled with people that are not on the up and up.
00:11:20
They're just not. You know what I mean? And I have my reasons for saying that and believing that, and we'll get into a little bit of that. But, man, going going down this rabbit hole and really looking, in on Trump and really, like, familiarizing myself with him, I I have to admit, it's very fascinating. I feel like you will have to do a, he he deserves a series.
00:11:53
He deserves a TV set. Now as I'm doing this research and going down this rabbit hole, I found a movie. They did a movie in 2024 called The Apprentice. If you haven't seen this movie, I encourage you to check it out. Not not just because of Trump, but in my digging in my rabbit hole, there's another figure surrounding Donald Trump that became super fascinating to me.
00:12:20
And it's his, lawyer former lawyer, Roy Cohn. Yo. When I tell you this is some wild juicy stuff, is is it I mean, my mind is blown. Right? And so I just gave y'all two things to watch.
00:12:44
The series 11, eleven twenty two sixty three and, The Apprentice, the movie. The movie's about Donald Trump and sorta like how he came to be up into writing the book, The Art of the Deal. And, it's a good watch. It's it's it's a good watch. It's, it's definitely put the kids to bed, but it's a good watch.
00:13:11
I encourage you to check it out, especially if you after you listen to this episode of the separated two podcast. All we actually do is subscribe and download. That's how we get our numbers. After you listen to this episode, I encourage you to go watch it. Go check it out.
00:13:27
It's some very interesting stuff. And in me doing this research and and finding all this information, like, I don't I don't quite view his father like, I was viewing him before. It it going down this rabbit hole confirmed some things that I felt and and some inklings that I had in regards to Donald Trump and how and why he is the way he is. Yeah, man. It's it's for me, it's fun.
00:14:02
Like, I'm one of those people that I, you know, I just don't lean on the conspiracy. I don't even I don't even consider myself a, a conspiracy guy anymore. I'm I'm off that because conspiracy people have gone, bat shit crazy. I don't even consider myself that anymore. I just I just like to, go down the rabbit hole on things that piqued my interest.
00:14:27
That's all. And this one, man, oh, it's it's good. It's got everything everything you will want. I liken it to I liken it to, I'm a big fan of mafia movies. Right?
00:14:41
Godfather, you name it. Goodfellas, I was I was a fan of Scarface. I'm thinking of the Sopranos series. Like, I've always been into that, like, the mob the mob thing, the mob ties. Right?
00:14:58
And I didn't realize how tied into the mob Donald Trump really is. His whole his whole coming up was was, connected to the mob. It was also connected to politics. It was also connected to, the FBI. And I'm sitting back and I'm saying, yo, this dude is like the, he's like the gangster Forrest Gump.
00:15:34
You remember in the movie Forrest Gump, how they depicted Forrest Gump is like being a part of, like, all of these major moments in history and, you know, all these people knew who Forrest Gump was. Trump is like that. Trump, he's not this, he's not this, scurry dangerous guy in the way we normally think of scurry and dangerous like a mob boss or somebody, you know, that's in in in a part of the mafia. Not so much in that fashion, but a lot of the same tactics. A lot of the same mindset.
00:16:14
Right? And I now realize and understand, he was groomed and trained to be this way. Right? Roy Cohn played a big part in in that, because not only was Roy his lawyer, but Roy became a mentor to Trump. And and so it's it's it's it's it's as though his father got him started with, you know, getting into the, development and and and real estate, and then Roy train him how to, play the game.
00:16:52
Right? And I like how in the movie, they depicted Roy because as I was doing my research on on Trump and watching documentaries, Roy's name would come up. But they didn't really go deep into Roy Cohn. So now I got another rabbit hole. I'm a go there.
00:17:09
I I wanna go down the rabbit hole of Roy and just focus on, like, all the information that I can find on him because he is, he's another fascinating figure. He ended up, dying of AIDS and, he, he at the end of his life, him and Trump was not in a good space, but, the movie depicts all of that. The movie is heavy on Trump and Roy's, relationship. What the movie doesn't touch on is, a lot of the the mafia ties that Trump had and a lot of the ties to the FBI that Trump has. And I have a theory.
00:17:50
I have a theory a a new theory, about Trump in regards to the mafia and the FBI ties. And you will say to yourself, how does a person involved in so much, corruption and so much craziness make it this far. Not not only make it to be the president, but to be the president two times. Two times. And let me say this.
00:18:25
Going down this rabbit hole has actually, made me a fan of Donald Trump. Not in that I think he would he's good to be a president or or not to say that I'm a fan of, what he's about in his in, what he's about as a politician. Right? But I gotta say, the dude has balls of steel and he when when, you know how, we we say all the time, like or you hear me say all the time. I use myself as an example.
00:19:12
I'm only focused about, you know, me and the people, around me whose, decisions affect me personally, Donald Trump is that to the twenty fifth power, yo. When I say this dude is about himself, himself. And I don't even think he about all the people that's around especially not his wives. His children, maybe. But talk about self, about self, confident in self, speak highly in self, dude, that dude is to the twenty fifth power.
00:19:58
It's mind blowing. It's mind blowing. And it just goes to show that you don't have to be the smartest person in the room. You don't have to be the most well spoken person in the room. But having a level of confidence and, self esteem, I'm a use that word, or or or, self, it's not even self awareness because I don't know how I don't delusion of self.
00:20:34
Like, it's not self awareness because he's not aware of how crazy and insane he looks. But it depends on how you view living and moving, moving throughout life. Right? Some of us try to operate under some some sort of moral compass. Right?
00:20:56
Like, you know, we we try to have some morals about ourselves, but there are people out there. And and Trump and Roy are perfect examples of there are people out there that don't that rules and laws and morals is is b s to them. It's man made, and it can be it can be manipulated in over over road. Right? And we're witnessing that.
00:21:30
We're seeing that unfold in real time, yo. It's so many different directions I could go with this this Trump thing. Because the the rabbit hole is massive. But, I'm a just I'm a hit y'all with this. So it's like I said, y'all gotta bear with me.
00:21:52
This show's gonna be a little bit little bit different. I wanna run down notes that I've taken from a documentary. And I wanna run this down, because I think this part, about Trump is important. And I think this part, will give a little bit more insight on what we are witnessing, when it comes to like, I have so much more understanding of him. Right?
00:22:27
Not that I think let let me preface this by saying, not that I think he's doing a good job, not that I think he's good for the country, but I just now have a even better understanding of what it is that we are faced with, what we are dealing with. And I implore people to go and and and do this for for yourselves. Like, really understand moving from this from my voice now moving forward. Really try to understand who and what it is that you're voting for. Because although Trump, is great at what he does outside of, being a politician, you know, all even though the things he do is corrupt and and under the table and or whatever you wanna call it, it doesn't make for great politics.
00:23:18
It doesn't make for a great president. Because what we need in government and what we don't have in government is the problem. We don't have, people in government that operate under a moral compass. They they try to play like they do, but I don't believe they do. Right?
00:23:38
And so yeah. Let me let me go through these notes and then, I'm gonna sorta narrate this for you guys and then we'll come back, we'll touch up, and then we'll close out the show. So like I said, bear with me, sit back, and enjoy. Some people may know this information. But for those of you that don't know, I think, this episode is gonna be a treat.
00:24:01
So bear with me. I'm a try to do this as fast as I can because I know how people's, tensions bands are. Myron Fuller met Trump in 1976. He was a FBI agent at the time, and he met with Trump regarding purchasing Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. The hotel had a reputation of being owned and run by the mob.
00:24:25
That means it was a part of organized crime. Trump was asked about him attempting to purchase the hotel, and Trump stated he had looked into buying it but decided not to do it. When told about the hotel's possible mob ties, Trump didn't flinch nor did he show any concern. Fuller later stated he wished he had looked more into Trump. Trump relationship with the FBI didn't start there.
00:24:48
Brighton Beach, Brooklyn was Trump's heartland where it all began. It was there in Beach Haven where Donald and Fred Trump got into trouble discriminating against black folk in apartments owned by the Trump family. And they were sued by the justice department. Woody Guthrie wrote a song about old man Trump. The song was about how he did not like how old man Trump was treating black folk.
00:25:12
When Donald and his father were being sued by the justice department for discriminatory practice practices, they sought out, one of the same lawyers that, many politicians and mobsters were using in New York. It was a lawyer by the name of Roy Cohn. And in many ways, he became Trump's mentor. Roy Cohn was a legendary figure in American politics. He was the dark, satanic prince of the McCarthy.
00:25:40
The McCarthy when you hear the McCarthy, it refers to senator Joseph McCarthy and the period of intense anti communist suspicion and accusations known as McCarthy McCarthyism. McCarthy, a Republican senator, led investigations into alleged communist infiltration of the US government and other institutions during the Red Score of the late nineteen forties and fifties. His tactics often involve an uns unsubstantiated accusations and public accusations. It led to the term McCarthyism being associated with defamation and unfair practices. Roy Cohn's motto was never apologize.
00:26:25
Always be on offense. Deny deny, and attack and counter attack. And that's pretty much been Trump's whole way of doing business ever since. In the late nineteen seventies, New York was bankrupt. It was taken over by Wall Street finances.
00:26:40
Trump became the young man that they sponsored to turn it into a paradise for the rich. Using his father's capital, Trump portrayed himself as the savior of the Big Apple. He went on to buy the iconic luxury store, Bond Whiteteller. He demolished it and transformed it into Trump Tower. These projects came to fruition at a time when New York construction was totally controlled by the Italian mafia.
00:27:07
Ronaldinho is the son of a mafia don, and he spent his life infiltrating criminal organizations for the FBI. The mob was powerful and controlled labor union, and Trump could not get his buildings done without dealing with the mob. He was waist deep involved with the mafia and would never he would never allow cameras in his office because they frequently visited him. In the early eighties, Walter Stowe, a special agent and a colleague of Myron Fuller from the New York office, was working on organized crime. Walter Stowe ran a high level informant by the name Dan Sullivan.
00:27:46
Dan was a Trump adviser and his go between with the mafia. Dan Sullivan will introduce Donald Trump to people in the FBI. Trump was building casinos and thought he should gain FBI relationships. The mafia was involved in building the casinos because of the unions. To open a casino, you have to get, of course, a gaming license and work with the mob.
00:28:09
Trump gained his license in record time, it was reported. It was suggested that they put a undercover unit in the casino by Sullivan. Trump was considered a friendly source to the FBI, and being a good informant in helping the FBI is like a get a get out of jail free card. Sullivan and Trump became friends at Trump's suggestion. They discussed working together, but Trump felt it was better he stay with the FBI and they just be friends.
00:28:36
I think that was a smart move on Trump part. Conversations with him over the years is likely how he came to know James Kostrom. Trump had a similar relationship with James Kostrom, and Trump felt like if he got pressure from the mob guys on construction projects, that he could contact the FBI. And at this point, Kostrom was Trump's main man in the New York office. Trump will spend years building on this relationship.
00:29:11
Kostrom was a FBI assistant director. Kostrom was one of the most powerful men in New York at the time. That's how we get the Trump and Giuliani connection. Kostrom and Juli Giuliani had forced the mafia into retreat from 1983 to 1989. Kostrom's surveillance teams from the new from the, office in New York was central to his success.
00:29:38
They brought down John Gotti, the local mafia boss who was eventually convicted through the betrayal of his lieutenant, Sammy Gravano. Gravano famously mused about his power over Donald Trump and Manhattan. He always stated he controlled Donald Trump and everybody else because they couldn't build a building if they if he didn't want them to. Trump Tower was set up perfect for laundering. An agent stated you wouldn't think a place so prestigious would have so much crime happening, but it did.
00:30:11
Trump, in search of cash for his real estate empire, turned to the Russians through successive ways of immigration. They had transformed Trump's heartland heartland in in Brooklyn into their homeland. Brighton Beach was now home to a cash rate Russian mob protected by the Italians. They started moving immediately. They came in gradually from Brenton Beach and in other areas.
00:30:35
And, yes, there were relationships. And they developed them because the Russians had access to cash. The Italians who protected the Russian mob ceded control of some of their operations, and they made a deal with David Bogatin, a Russian mob boss, to run one of their favorite scams for a commission. It was the gasoline tax scam. And what the Russians did, they will establish hundreds and hundreds of shell companies.
00:30:59
They will buy gasoline stations and just before the tax man comes, they would declare bankruptcy. Sounds familiar? And sell it to another company. So when the tax folk come, they'll say, oh, that was a previous owner. And and they did this over and over in different areas.
00:31:15
They started in New York, and they said at one time in the eighties, they was a push they were pushing about a billion dollars. That was an awful lot of money in the eighties. They went from state to state doing this. They had so much money that they had to launder it. And that's when you see David Bogart come in.
00:31:35
He'll meet with Donald Trump and say, hey. We need to buy five of your condos. So Trump liked dealing with the gangsters because they will pay top dollar and they won't sue you. So so many deals came through this way. But it was set off alarm bells if you're investigating money laundering.
00:31:54
In comes James Moody. He's a friend of Miller and a former FBI agent who served in the office in New York City in the eighties. He said, in order for you to do an investigation, you have to have a nexus for conducting the investigation. A nexus is a federal violation within the jurisdiction. But how do you get a nexus?
00:32:14
Oh, excuse me. I lost my place. But how do you get a nexus when you weren't hearing anything about it? So he's getting away with it. And the city wasn't telling the FBI about it because they didn't know anything about it.
00:32:27
So I'm sure the condos being a part of Trump Tire was set up perfectly for laundering. They could bring in all this all the cash they wanted and pay pay everything in cash and nobody would ever know who or where it came from. Right? So there's this legal concept known as intentional blindness or or deliberate blindness. And if there's a pattern, you can prove the deliberate blindness.
00:32:52
So in this case, it's not like Trump did one or two of these laundering situations. It's reported he did this 1,300 times. 1,300 times. I think after 1,300 times, you would consider it's a pattern. Right?
00:33:08
During the eighties, Trump tried to get close to Gorbachev, convinced he could bring peace through commerce to America. We saw, the Soviet Union get to a place that was much more friendly. Therefore, everyone was celebrating this fact. But they thought about it. Something very, very different was going on beneath the surface.
00:33:30
Once the Soviet Union crumbles, essentially, the floodgates are open and billions of dollars are out there. And that money desperately wants to be a part of Western banking system. The fall of the Soviet Union block concentrated what little wealth could be gleaned into the hands of predators who had little concern over the necessary frontier between crime and capitalism. Jim Moody had convinced the FBI of this impeding danger, and he set up a joint task force with the Alsons police in Russia. The first minister gave the name of a mythical legendary Russian organized crime figure, Pontiac.
00:34:08
Pontiac gave a name Ivankov. He told Moody that this guy had been sent to The United States to take over all Russian organized crime and get control of it. And they didn't even know he was here. They had no knowledge of that information, and he even talked to the New York office. So they set up a Russian they set up a Russian squad trying to find private information, and they had a heck of a hard time finding, Ivankov.
00:34:34
But when they finally found him, where was he living? You guessed it. In Trump Towers. Here is a mythical Russian organized crime figure living in Trump Tower. But he's traveling down to Trump's casinos in New Jersey all the time losing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:34:51
So they start zero zeroing in on Ivankov. And then they learn he moved out of Trump Tower and went back over to Brooklyn. There was a huge high state gambling ring in one of the top floors all run by Russians, and it was busted by the FBI. About 29 people were arrested. Trump had his home and his office in Trump Tower.
00:35:13
He was there all the time, so he had to know about this. They had wiretaps. They made arrests, but the New York, FBI investigations never honed in on Trump. It was as if he was protected or off limits. Why is there a white collar criminal that doesn't get the FBI's attention?
00:35:32
Special agent Mike German is convinced the white collar crime is a threat to national security and has always escaped authorities of the country obsessed by profit. The failure at the FBI to not recognize that crimes by establishment figures can have the same impact and, in fact, a greater impact on our global sec our global security than anything that some violent guy with a gun can really accomplish. There is a national security issue in whether somebody who has engaged in corrupt behavior can lead our country in a way that isn't corrupt. In the nineties, Trump divorced his first wife, Ivana. They depict their relationship in the movie I told you about called, The Apprentice.
00:36:20
He he divorced her and he briefly married Mala Maples. They don't get into that. This was this was his mistress at the time. Or did they get into I think they did get into it, but they didn't say her name. But, that was his mistress at the time.
00:36:35
They and she said that Trump spent a lot of his time partying with his new best friend, Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton, who he was close with back then. He was close with Bill and Hillary. The White House was under constant FBI investigations during this time, run by agents and a director, Louis Freeh. The New York FBI was at the height of his power. So real quick, I I I wanna put this footnote here.
00:37:08
There's always been a connection between Trump and Epstein, but it's also, a connection with Bill Clinton and Epstein. Everybody keeps saying, why didn't the Democrats put the Epstein file? Why didn't the pin everybody's deflecting. Right? I believe, it's my personal opinion, they didn't put the Epstein files out.
00:37:27
Democrats leave it alone. They don't touch it because they know that Bill Clinton is in it. On the flip side, though, the problem Trump now has is he's in office now, and he ran on the Epstein's file. All his people that he bought in and he hired was big on the Epstein's file. So I I feel like, Trump created this Epstein thing himself.
00:37:52
Even though right now, they're trying to point fingers and blame everybody else. I think he put this on himself. I haven't even got into the Epstein side of things. The Trump side of it has been full enough. I'm gonna get into the Epstein side of things, but we're gonna do this one thing at a time.
00:38:11
Getting back. Asha Ran Gappa teaches national security at Yale University. She was one of the many new agents hired after nine eleven that was trying to redefine FBI along with the CIA who had been left holding the bag after nine eleven. Robert Mueller took over the FBI shortly before nine eleven. He successfully he successfully maintained all all its prerogatives despite the failures of the bureau.
00:38:43
The FBI was at a crossroads at that point. Mueller came in when congress was seriously considering whether to split up the FBI and specifically to take the intelligent function out and put in a separate agency and to leave the FBI as primary as a primary law enforcement agency. They found that in, September 11, the criminal terrorist group could plan overseas, recruit overseas, finance overseas, and then attack us within The United States. So they had to build up the intelligence infrastructure to identify those individuals before they can attack. Trump, though, after nine eleven was not in a good spot.
00:39:27
Too many of his enterprises failed miserably, notably his Atlantic City projects, destroying any future the city may have imagined for itself. Once he was 4,000,000,000 in debt, and, yep, you guessed it, it was the Russians who rushed back to help because this was the time when Trump couldn't get a bank loan from anywhere in the West, with the exception of, the Deutsche Bank, which is famous for laundering money for Russians. The Trump Russia Russia Friendship Society was to do everything to save their boy, Trump, in 02/2002. Sapia, a self made billionaire from Brenton Beach, finance company. I'm sorry.
00:40:15
Sapia, a self made billionaire from Brenton Beach, financed the company, Bayrak. It was conceived with Russian capital. So they put all the money up, and Trump would get a franchise fee that was high around 18 to 25%, which was an enormously high fee. And that's how he got rich one more time. He was back on his feet thanks to the Russians.
00:40:41
Now you hear the Russians are back in the news, and everybody is is Obama and the Russians and the Russian cover up and interfere with the election and all this crap. Listen. Russia interfered. Trump knew about it. Trump even encouraged it, but we'll get to that.
00:40:57
Trump sold his brand to his Russian friends to save his ass. The main man in the enterprise was Bayrak CEO, Felix Sater, a condemned criminal from Brighton Beach. The Berkeley School of Journalism recorded him being questioned by students despite his criminal record. Felix Sater stated Trump had branded real estate and he wanted to get into real estate. But it turns out Sater was a convicted criminal.
00:41:25
He got into a bar fight and stabbed the guy in the face causing a hundred and ten stitches. He also did a pump and dump stock scam along with the Russian mafia. Although he had this checkered past, Sato spent years assisting the FBI and the CIA on a whole range of matters, most both involving mob influence on Wall Street, as well as information he was able to glean from the Russian sources about Al Qaeda and Bin Laden, and the potential attacks on American troops in Afghanistan. He was cooperating with the FBI and getting various stuff on counterterrorism and so forth. But the FBI was letting him do it, do these criminal activities because of this.
00:42:10
And one of the activities happened to be laundering money with who? You guessed it. Donald Trump. Sada was was in the Trump Tower on the 20 Fourth Floor. Trump organizations on the 20 Sixth Floor.
00:42:24
Sada characterized the relationship as friendly. There was a silver suit, though, involving Donald Trump where he was recorded under oath and asked how many times have you conversed with mister Sada over the years. And Trump stated over the years, I barely know him. If you sat him in the room right now, I wouldn't know what he looked like. Sader says, however, he's met Trump hundreds, if not thousands of times.
00:42:51
Trump wanted to build a tower in Moscow, and he needed help in another character from Trump you may remember. Felix Sater had a childhood friend, Michael Cohen. Michael Cohen was to help Trump in his expansion into Russia. They were aiming for the Kremlin build in Russia. Trump began finagling with the Russians when the Russian with the Russians perhaps to help, build this hotel in Russia, which we know from his former partner, Michael Cohen, he was offering Putin himself perhaps the Top Floor of the Moscow hotel if he could build a Trump Moscow.
00:43:30
It was a way to get the ultimate green light he wanted and needed for his business deal, at least from Trump's perspective. He sees this as you go to the top guy, you get him on board, your business deal will go through. Trump stated himself, I was in Moscow a couple of months ago while he was, giving a speech about his miss universe pageant. He said, Putin treated me so great. He sent me beautiful gifts.
00:43:57
He even sent me a beautiful note. And I spoke to all his people. But what does Trump do? Trump always denies his connection with Putin and he don't know Putin whatever. That's a whole another rabbit hole.
00:44:11
What happened with the Trump deal, that he was hoping to get in Moscow in 2013, in February 2014, Putin decides to annex Crimea. That's when sanctions shortly thereafter get imposed by The United States and the European, the European Union. And one of the sanctioned entities was going to be one of the financial institutions that was going to finance the Trump Tower. Craig Unger, who was convinced that FBI counterintelligence had been surveying Trump contacts for decades, and therefore, they were surveying Trump. A little before the Russian mafia came into play, there was a electronics store on Lower Fifth Avenue near the Flatiron Building.
00:44:56
It was called the Joy Ludd Electronics. It was called Joy Ludd Electronics. And it it was owned by Sam Kisling. And it turned out to be a long time associate of Donald Trump for more than forty years. It was a it was a part of the KGB, and the electric store was said to be a KGB front.
00:45:17
This was KGB's outreach. Trump crime figures connected to Soviet and Russian intelligence created a dangerous breach that a Russian adversary could easily exploit the mafia effectively. An arm of Russian intelligence was of the k KGB. They interviewed Oleg Collagen, I think that's how you say his name, who was the head of counterintelligence for, who was head of the counterintelligence for the KGB. And when they asked him about the mafia, he said another branch of the KGB was a series of operations that preceded all of which had the KGB trade craft as part of them.
00:46:00
Felix and Michael Cohen did not seem to realize at the time that they were working for a future president by mixing property development with US foreign affairs. They were not only compromising themselves and the possible future president, but perhaps committing illegal actions. An email from Felix Sater was sent to Michael Cohen, Trump low Trump's lawyer in November 2015. It stated, I will get Putin Putin on this program and we will get Donald elected. Buddy, our boy is about to be president.
00:46:37
Trump invited the Russians to help him publicly in the campaign, and he clearly did everything he could to deflect from what the Russians were up to. Through his actions, his public statements he gave of Putin was, cover to conduct the kind of attack on American democracy that unfolded. Russia was trying to attack these fundamental democratic values and processes by hitting them pitting Americans against each other. They did a perfect job of that. Right, by essentially trying to destroy social trust that binds the Democrat's social fabric.
00:47:15
It was never important to the Kremlin who actually won the election. It was simply to sow discord and destroy confidence in the Democratic institutions, which is a goal they shared with Trump. So you can easily say Donald Trump aided the Russians, the Russian government to interfere in our elections. And I have a clip I'm a play. Matter of fact, I'm not gonna play it.
00:47:41
I'm a I'm a give you the homework to do it yourself because what I don't like is people when you when you speak ill of Donald Trump, they they, one, think you automatically think you are pro Biden for some reason. I I I don't get that. Two, they say that, oh, you just don't like Donald Trump. As though I I like or dislike any politician. I don't know these people, personally.
00:48:14
So to say I don't like the president, to me is is that's goofy talk. I'm not here to like or dislike them. Or third, they'll they'll argue with that they will argue argue you down and say that it's fake news or it's not true or whatever because they have, one-sided allegiance to Donald Trump for whatever reason. So I'm not gonna play it. I'm a give you the homework.
00:48:45
If you really can, you wanna know, you could find all this stuff because all this stuff is ready available to anybody that wants to know. But there's a clip going around right now where, Putin was here with Trump and one of the reporters asked the question to Putin about did he want Donald Trump to win the election? And he said yes. He said yes. And there's a reason why he says yes.
00:49:13
And my theory is because it was all a part of the plan. It was all a part of the plan. And Trump, I heard this term and I think it fits him perfectly. Trump is and always been a useful idiot. Right?
00:49:34
And it has really fared for him well because, you know, I even I even more feel like he's he's really just a product of his environment. He's no different than people that grow up in the hood or people grow up impoverished. He's a he's he is of consequence of his environment, what he was what he was taught and trained to be. Right? Deny deny deny.
00:50:06
Always say you win. That's what Roy Roy, watch the movie, The Apprentice. Roy used to tell him, no matter what, say you won. Deny deny deny. If they attack you, you attack back harder.
00:50:19
Y'all thought, Diddy was bad. Check out Roy, man. Roy was really blackmailing folk. He was blackmailing folk up in power. He was blackmailing politicians.
00:50:31
You name it. Setting up these parties. These folk get crazy at these parties, and Roy is recording the audio. He got folk on tape. He got folk on video, and that's how they do.
00:50:42
And I believe right now in our government, there's a lot of blackmailing going on. There's a lot of blackmailing going on. There's a lot of hanging things over each other's heads. And the problem with that is, if you're not if you're not corrupt, if you're not doing things you're not supposed to be doing, you don't have to worry about none of that. And I had to start recently.
00:51:05
You notice how the ones that's that's in in, in, politics that are fairly new or haven't been there long enough to be too corrupt, go the hardest at Trump, the, AOCs and the Jasmine Crockett's and and, Bernie Bernie goes hard at them because they right now noses are fairly clean. And the ones that are long time politicians, fifteen, twenty, thirty years, they quiet. They quiet. And everybody's saying, oh, why they letting Trump get away with all this? Because Trump got dirt on everybody, and they got dirt on him.
00:51:51
And everybody's now trying to figure out whose dirt is gonna outlast the other person's dirt because somebody's going down. And Trump is the type of guy, he is not going down without a fight. If he's going down, he's gonna pull others down with him, and that's what has everybody scared. Oh, it's so much more I could get into, but I'm running out of time so quickly. It's so much to cover.
00:52:21
It's so much to cover. Let me do a couple things, and then I'm a get out your head.
00:52:27
If we Republicans choose Donald Trump as our nominee, the prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished. Let me explain why I say that. First on the economy, if Donald Trump's plans were ever implemented, the country would sink into prolonged recession. A few examples. His proposed 35% tariff like penalties would instigate a trade war, and that would raise prices for consumers, kill our export jobs, and lead entrepreneurs and businesses of all stripes to flee America.
00:53:04
His tax plan, in combination with his refusal to reform entitlements and to honestly address spending, would balloon the deficit and the national debt. So even though Donald Trump has offered very few specific economic plans, what little he has said is enough to know that he would be very bad for American workers and for American families. But you say, wait. Wait. Wait.
00:53:29
Isn't he a huge business success? Doesn't he know what he's talking about? No. He isn't. And no.
00:53:36
He doesn't. He doesn't. Look. His his bankruptcies have crushed small businesses and the men and women who work for them. He inherited his business.
00:53:54
He didn't create it. And whatever happened to Trump Airlines? How about Trump University? And then there's Trump Magazine and Trump vodka and Trump steaks and Trump mortgage. A business genius, he is not.
00:54:11
I played that because I wanted to show y'all how my brain works. Right? So now that I've gone down this rabbit hole and I've read to you guys all the things that I found in regards to Trump and his doing business. Right? It's it's on record that Trump was going bankrupt because he wasn't paying back his loan.
00:54:33
He would get this money from people, and he wouldn't pay them back. And then when he couldn't he could no longer get money from the banks, he went to the mafia. He got money from the mafia. Right? And I'm thinking, like, we talked about how the Russians had the the, the gasoline tax play, where they would make these shell companies.
00:55:00
They would run the money up. Right? And then they would sell the company and basically do it all over again. And we known Trump to have all these different companies, you know, all with his name. Right?
00:55:19
And I'm like, yo. What if Trump was basically doing the same thing? Right? And because he had ties with the FBI, he would use the mafia to his advantage. And when he didn't need them no more, you just turn them in.
00:55:37
You get them locked up. Excuse me but that's how my brain I'm like yo this man is gangster for real. He's gangster And he played he plays both sides so well, meaning, you know, the criminal side and the the the side of the FBI. He played it so well that it was putting him in a position where he could get away with it. Because he was helping out everybody, right, for the most part, until he had to screw somebody over to save his own self.
00:56:13
But he plays he plays everybody well. He plays on people's greed. He plays on people's ignorance, and he does it well. You gotta give him that. You gotta give him that.
00:56:29
Yo. It's some wild stuff, man. It's very interesting to me. I find him to now to be very interesting. No.
00:56:37
I don't think he makes a good president. No. I don't think he should have gotten to politics, because I think politics is what's gonna finally take him under. I really do. I think he's gotten away all this time, but I think him getting into politics is gonna be the thing that takes him down.
00:56:53
Just my thought. Just my thought.
00:56:54
Do you remember when Kamala Harris said that she wouldn't do anything just for black folks? I remember she said that on The Breakfast Club. And as a lawyer, I knew immediately why she said that. But, of course, many blacks used her words as an excuse to vote for Trump. Those folks were either low information or dishonest pro black impostors.
00:57:18
Because here are three facts that make that excuse utterly ridiculous. First, Trump never promised to do anything just for blacks either. And now that he's back in office, not only is he not doing anything just for blacks, he's doing many destructive things just to blacks. Second, although Kamala says she wouldn't do anything just for blacks, she and Biden did a whole lot of things that disproportionately benefit blacks, such as historic HBCU funding, historic black SBA loans, historic student loan forgiveness, and much more. And the third reason Kamala said she wouldn't do anything just for blacks because she is a lawyer.
00:58:08
She knows that MAGA would've sued her using the fourteenth amendment or the Civil Rights Act or some other civil rights law and argue that she was discriminating against whites, Asians, Latinos, etcetera, just as they did to end affirmative action, DEI, black farmers compensation, and even more student loan forgiveness. Now these Kamala haters helped Trump and MAGA gain control of the entire government. Let's see what MAGA does just for black people. Listen. These younger blacks must stop being so gullible to the lies and disinformation of the pro black imposters.
00:58:53
And remember, stay woke.
00:58:56
Now I don't like the term he used, Kamala Harris haters. I don't agree with that. I think and I've I'm on record saying, I don't think they Democrats did a good job with that whole situation. I thought that Biden running, was was a bad decision. And I honestly think if it was it was if it was solely up to Biden, he wouldn't have ran.
00:59:21
He got pushed in the running because they felt like he was the only one that could beat Trump. They got so hell bent and so focused on Trump that I think that's where they dropped the ball. Instead of putting somebody out there that could really resonate or or prepping, you have four years to prep somebody that would resonate. You know? I spoke about it on the episode.
00:59:46
If you wanna go back and listen to it, find your peace. It's laziness. The Democrats got lazy. So I don't agree with the the, the term Kamala Harris haters. Although everything he else everything else he said, I I do agree with it.
01:00:04
Yeah. Democrats got work to do. They got work to do, and they gotta get up off their hindpods and, get somebody worth listening to and worth voting for. I I've I've stated many times before, I don't believe in these parties left and right and all that. I think I believe in we need to vote for the person that's best for the job, the person who has a plan that is, best for, what we need right now.
01:00:33
And that's just that on that. But everything else he's everything else he said, I agree with. And the reason why I played it is because a lot of folk voted and moved out of pure ignorance. And ignorance just mean they just didn't know. Right?
01:00:51
We're in I talked about before. We're in information warfare. Right? And and depending on the information that you're getting through wherever you get your information from is is what's gonna, persuade you. People are too lazy to go and do their own research on people.
01:01:09
And so they only go by what they hear. And, you know, you got different types of of, folk out there. You have some folk that, just wanna see chaos. Right? You got some folk that just say things and put things out there for content purposes.
01:01:26
Things that they don't even totally agree with. I believe that about a lot of these news anchors that, get on there, and they and they they they talk they talk about whatever side, Democrat or Republican side. And they don't even agree with or believe the things that they that they're talking, but it's for ratings. Right? You have some people out there that just are are are happy to see things in chaos and happy to see people bickering and fighting back and forth.
01:01:53
Right? And a few of us that that, come from a healthy place and wanna see the country and people in a healthy, good, prosperous place and moving in the right direction. Right? We get drowned out by the nonsense and by the noise. Right?
01:02:10
And people talking stupid talk. Right? And I I'll be honest with you. Sometimes, I don't really know how you combat that. How do you combat the ignorance and the laziness?
01:02:21
All we can do is just, I guess, keep putting keep putting our prayers and energy in a positive direction, and I hope it just catches on somehow. I don't know. I really don't know. Let me see what else I got here.
01:02:37
What about math?
01:02:40
We spend 1.8 $58,000,000,000 a year on Trio? Yes. That's 1,580 million dollars a year. Is my math right? I think that's right, sir.
01:02:59
And how long have we been spending 1,580 million dollars a year on this program? More than ten years? Yes. So that's over a trillion dollars.
01:03:14
Okay. I understand that we was not ranked number one in math recently either, but something there seems off. Right? Don't have to be a mathematician. Maybe there's a Democrat on this committee who can help them out a little bit.
01:03:30
Madam secretary, and I'm not a great mathematician, but I think you were talking about a trillion dollars. I believe 1,500,000,000.0 times 10 is $15,000,000,000. That's a little bit off from a trillion dollars. But
01:03:44
I think the the budget cuts 1,200,000,000.0
01:03:47
for treatment.
01:03:48
1.2. That would be $12,000,000,000, not a trillion dollars. Okay.
01:03:54
Okay. Thank goodness for senator Jack Reed. Now Republican senators and Trump's education secretary just spectacularly failed a math and a reading quiz of their own making while they were complaining about America falling behind in math and reading.
01:04:11
And this is what I'm saying. These are the people that are running the country. These are the people that are making decisions about our livelihood. And this is why it's important that we we we put energy in the right people. Right?
01:04:28
It don't have nothing to do with whether we like Donald Trump or not. If I hear another person say that, I'm a jump out of a window. What about that clip has to do with liking or disliking somebody? That's just pure dumbness. Right?
01:04:42
And it's okay. If you voted for Trump and you supported Trump, it's okay to say, okay. I was wrong. I had him wrong. It's okay.
01:04:51
Let's just make sure we don't do it again. But to double down on this dumb stuff, to double down on this foolishness is beyond me. It's beyond me. I've been around long enough and I've been voting long enough to know. And this is a fact.
01:05:07
The economy always does better under democratic leadership. Say what you want about them, feel what you want about them, they've always done better under Democratic leadership. Always. And as long as I've been around, since Reagan, that I can remember as far back I can go, Republicans have always been about helping the wealthy and helping the rich. Every time.
01:05:35
And every time they come in and they screw things up, it takes a Democrat president, or I should say Democrat leadership, because it's not all about the president, but Democrat leadership to fix it. That's always been the case. And it blows my mind. It's it's tough as a time we have with just politicians. We voted in the moth the the the the mob boss.
01:06:01
The the on record known criminal who associates and deal with others just like him. We gotta wake up y'all. Wake up. It's not about a Republican. It's not about a Democrat.
01:06:18
It's about getting the right people in place. I'm on record saying look. Listen here. Ted up there. Some 1,500 billion.
01:06:29
What are you talk they're too a lot of them are too old. They're out of touch. They wanna run the country with this old concept and and and, train of thought. Even Trump. Trump had this thought.
01:06:42
He's always had this thought about the country and and how the country should be run. He's always talked about terms and all that. Their their thoughts and ideas have added are out of date. They are outdated. We need younger, vibrant, new ideas, new way of doing things.
01:06:58
I'm not even against Trump. They say, oh, Trump is is is overriding the constitution. He's not following the rules and all. I I want know people don't have no problem with rewriting the rules and rewriting the constitution. However, this ain't the guy to do it.
01:07:14
That's all I'm saying. I'm a play this last clip and we out of here.
01:07:18
I've been now around long you know, I think of myself as a young guy, but I'm not so young anymore. And I've been around for a long time. And it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean, it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats.
01:07:36
It's to separate the two podcasts. I don't do no overtime. I'm out of here.
01:07:42
You weren't so eager to please the white man and send that grading curve up, there'd be three times as many of us here now. But what kind of time are you anyway? Same as you, I guess. Except that I don't try try to add them both ways. Are you calling me a tall man?
01:08:01
Well, none of us will picture a militancy now, Willy. Now why don't you go away and let me know. Why don't you join the team, man? Team? Man, I'm not playing any games.
01:08:25
Hey, brother, brother. It's enemy more than mothers. Just know that today's a number that life might be filled with troubles. Your troubles may come in doubles in former, your former lovers. They use your kids for revenge.
01:08:35
Get you drugged up, but never loved her. Never loved her but drugged her. Brother, it made her suffer. Left her a single mother. No balance since I was younger.
01:08:42
Barely filled with that hunger. Barely could help my mama. How could I be a father? Then it keep getting harder. Have mercy every week's huntin' hitting me adversity.
01:08:51
I remember dropping my babies off at the church nursery I remember seeing her all alone in the church service Asking God to reveal me a plan and a higher purpose Was a boy named Ron Immaturity gone Blind scheming and dreaming They viewers getting your own Ask anybody that know me I suffer
01:09:46
Yeah. Hey.
01:09:48
Love nothing. Wages come from it. We cut
01:10:48
I shed tears every morning in the bathroom mirror, face to face with faith, had
01:10:53
to face my fears.
01:10:54
It was me. I'm the reason that I failed. That was hell. Locked a self yolk like jail. Lord, I cried, almost died here for your side.
01:11:03
The devil whispers in your ear. You contemplate suicide, I tell you I know. Promise honors didn't ever flow. And it's pride before the fall is how I usually go. Looking at me, I was strutting proud as can be.
01:11:15
Didn't tell me nothing, I was hustin' people deep in the jeep. I heard my ancestor voices, now they're speaking through me. Sometime my faith gets full of shaking, I'll be weak as can be. Pray and repent. Yowder my strength fast like his lint.
01:11:27
The devil sent the storm to break it, but I didn't buy a bit. Won't buy a bin. I'll suffer that will do it again. Made it to the mountain top, trace from the valley of sin.
