Kushner DARK Money, Trump BANK, Chris Hansen NDA & Pablo Pledgescobar | Julian Dorey
1h 35m 20s
The podcast explores a layered network of financial, political, and surveillance connections, centered on the controversial $12.5 billion sale of the Los Angeles Lakers to Joshua Kushner and Bob Eiger. Henry Abbott argues this transaction is not a simple private purchase but likely funded through opaque mechanisms involving Mubadala Capital, a sovereign wealth fund from Abu Dhabi. This ties into broader geopolitical trends where Gulf states invest in surveillance technology—such as facial recognition via Databricks and NSO Group—often linked to influence in the Middle East. These investments connect directly to figures like Jeffrey Epstein, whose alleged efforts to build alliances between Gulf monarchies and Israel are tied to high-level visits by Kushner family members to Saudi Arabia. The financial speculation is further undermined by the lack of transparency: a "Thrive Eternal" fund raised $10 billion without SEC disclosure, suggesting hidden structures. Parallel to this, a major scandal at Penn State reveals a student-run cocaine operation using fraternity pledges for supply and distribution, reflecting deeper issues of institutional oversight and exploitation. The podcast concludes by emphasizing that while much of this remains speculative, the patterns suggest a coordinated, multinational surveillance and financial ecosystem operating behind the scenes. It also highlights the risks of public surveillance, especially through unconsented cameras and tech like Pegasus, drawing parallels to authoritarian systems in China and the Middle East. Ultimately, the episode calls for greater scrutiny of financial transparency, corporate power, and the intersection of private enterprise and state influence.
What's up everybody and welcome back to another episode. Oh the Julien Dory podcast. I am Julien Dory. - I'm Joey Dive, hey dude. - How you doing? - Joey Dive, you got a little Pablo Pledge Cabar on your veins this week. - Come on son. - Careful how you answered that question. - White out. White out. - Coming soon. - Hardcore white out. - Coming soon. Listen, that's just the government picking on small businesses that are trying to pull themselves up by the bootstraps to make it in this very difficult economy. I don't like the government overreach. I agree. I think we need to cherish these traditions, you know, and I'm glad to see that the kids are all right and they're getting down at college. - That's right. The way they should. - The way they should. - Obviously you look at what has been alleged here. It's all allegations. This is not gone through court. No one is guilty of anything. It is pure spec. But I'm just saying they created a lot of jobs and you know we were looking at the job market earlier in this country's free time right now. - And we've talked about the, you know, expensive college cost of living. We've covered these things. - That's right. - And you need a solution. - That's right. And you know, not all heroes wear capes, somewhere glasses and you know, you can send a picture of them with no context to your guy on a Friday night and he's going to know what it means now. - Yep. - That's near the here and over there. Jokes aside, obviously. We'll talk about the whole Penn State story today. That was pretty interesting. But fucking Henry Abbott strikes again. - Yep. - From the goddamn clouds with an article on his blog True Hoop that he even says without using our term is a level of pure spec. - There's some spec to it. Based on layers and layers and layers and layers of prime coincidences. And of course, what I'm referring to here is that Jared Kushner's brother Josh, along with Disney CEO Bob Eiger, more on the actual setup here in a second, purchased the Los Angeles Lakers to historic franchise. Los Angeles Lakers this week for around $12 billion. The problem is, Bob Eiger's worth about $600 million and Josh Kushner's worth about $5 billion, roughly, give or take. So, where's that on their six and a half? Where's that coming from, Joey D? - Yeah. - Are they going to get that in? Is that right? - Yeah, that's not enough money. - Yeah. So we're going to get to that in a minute. We also, of course, have to check into dear friend of Joey Dief and mine at this point. Phoebe Gates. She is just, you know, the story just keeps getting better. I still have yet to see Cash Patel and an FBI suit fucking flying down like his GI Joe. - Ready to announce it or not. - Oh, now you definitely won't. He got his one today. - We're going to get that out. - Jessica Bowie. - Oh, that's right. That's right. The bomber that they entrap. - Yeah, so he got his. - We may talk about that as well. That's just, I mean, they don't even try anymore. They don't even try. They can find someone who is objectively pretty stupid. We'll definitely say that. And they can say, "You know what? Show me the man or woman, and I'll show you the crime." - Yep. They cooked with this one. - They cooked with this one. So we'll talk about that. - Hey, guys. If you're not following me on Spotify, please hit that follow button and leave a five-star review. They're both a huge, huge help. Thank you. - Trump's opening up a bank as well, Joey Deef. - We're going to have to get to that. - We should call Schiff. We should call Peter Schiff. - Peter Schiff will have a lot to say about that. People have a lot of advice to provide Donald Trump on the pitfalls of opening up a bank and how the big bad government could come after you. They may come after you, Donald. That's some point with that. And, you know, we'll check in on our friends at Flock, which by the way, Alessie Alamann, who has worked with me forever, if you ever look at my ex, my Twitter, or whatever you want to call it, every time you see a post where it's like a comment or typing and stuff like that, that's always me. I do that all myself. But when you see the horizontal 1080 clips that post on a daily basis, Alessie writes those captions, and he is well trained in YouTube. He doesn't know the first thing about Twitter. So it's kind of funny because he'll write these ridiculous captions that I would obviously never write. And I get a good laugh out of them. I think it's kind of funny. But he wrote, can we pull it up? He wrote like the most unhinged caption, calling out the Flock CEO to come on the show and like tag them on it. I'm like, well, there goes that. We obviously had some clips from last week's episode that went kind of viral on multiple platforms, particularly one that was discussing how Flock had reached out to me. And suggested that the CEO come on to the show. And I was like, okay, it's not going to be a fucking cakewalk. But I don't think Garrett, that is his name, Garrett Langley, right? It's not Craig or Greg. I don't know where that came from. I'd said it was Craig. But it's Garrett Langley, very, very apt last name, Joey Deef, by the way. Very apt last name. Very, very simulation-esque name. Yes. Yeah. Just you got to enjoy the simulation. People just ride it like a wave, you know? But anyway, so unless you put up this caption with some video that was a part of the clip from last week where he goes, hey, Garrett Langley, CEO of Flock, all caps come on the podcast and we will give you a fair hearing. What's your goal? What's your background? Come defend your company, all caps, Flock at Garrett Langley, at G Langley, which is his tag on X. So I don't think that one will ever happen. But I would be open to it. As I said, if he does want to do that, he would get a fair hearing. He would certainly get a lot of pushback. And as I also said last week, Tommy G will be in here with me to do it. And we can have a nice Kumbaya conversation and see where that goes. But highly doubt that will happen. So we'll talk about some flock today. Obviously, the world lost hate in this week. That was very tragic. What happened there? What was a little eerie about hating Pantera's death is that deep and I had had on the Google doc. Like when we go to do this, basically like for these shows an hour or two before we actually hop on here and do it, deep and I look at each other and say, all right, what the fuck happened this week? And throughout the week, like when I see little stories that I've either read or that I want to come back to, I'll put those links like on a doc and then go review them and everything. And obviously some, I'm going to be well versed in because I've already gone through the whole thing. Others I'm going to check out and see if it's worthy of going on the show today. But we end up having like a lot of material and there's always shit we don't get to. And so especially things that are a little more evergreen that matter less than I need to cover it this second. Sometimes they'll carry over for a few weeks on these docs and I had had one section that kind of got lost after about five or six weeks to cover what Hayden Pantera had said back in May. Some allegations she made both in her books and then laid out more on the Jay Shetty podcast regarding some abuse that she was subject to in Hollywood. And so when she passed away this week, I don't know, that kind of sent a shiver up my spine because she had said some things. It's not to say she didn't have some personal demons and and things like that. But it's always a little odd when someone comes out and is making some of the claims she did. And we'll try to get to this later. We'll see if we can fit it in today. And then passes away. So that that was quite interesting to me. We also had our friend Chris Hansen this week, getting to a little, a little, a little back and forth. I have a screenshot down there, Joey Deef, real quick. So I've been talking with Chris who was on the show back for episode 397. And I believe that was March. I talked to him about when his new, the new movie about him, Primetime, starring Robert Pattinson comes out about us doing a podcast around that again, which, you know, we've been talking for a few months on that and he really wanted to do it. So I had gone back and forth with him a few weeks ago and he explained that he was going to see the movie in the next couple weeks or something like that. And so I texted him yesterday and said, do we have it up there, Deef? Have you seen the movie yet? He said, hey, not yet, maybe today. And then I hit him with the, you see how this looks, right? See how this looks. And you know, you got to, you got to beat Chris Hansen at his own game, but it turns out, we might as well just go through this right now, Deef, because it's pretty quick. Chris Hansen, unbeknownst to me, I was texting him. This was Thursday morning around 1030. Disapparently, as we later learned that night, because he didn't say this in our conversation. This was while he was at a 24 HQ in New York, say a 24 is the company that is distributing the new movie Primetime, where he was supposed to see the new film. And then prior to doing so in the morning, he was handed an NDA and did not want to sign it and left without seeing the film. So Primetime was made without Chris Hansen being involved. It's based on a 2007 article about his whole show with to catch a predator, which had been blown up at that point. And it's a, it's a movie where they're going to use him and his likeness and all that, but also fictionalize some of it. And in my conversations with him, he seemed pretty excited about it. But when he went to sign this NDA, there's now like this disagreement happening publicly, and I don't have inside baseball here. I've not talked to Chris about this since this really came out today. But Chris went on Fox News last night and basically,
basically said that they handed him this NDA that was really overreaching before he was going to see this film that basically he said, and I'm paraphrasing here, I had to sign away my rights, my image rights, my branding, all that, etc. to which A20, so he didn't sign it and he left without seeing the film, so he still hasn't seen it. To which A24 actually leaked to the press today that no, it was just a standard NDA that all people who are going to see an advanced screening of the film have to sign to protect IP and spoilers and stuff like that. My guess is that the answer is actually kind of in the middle here, and again, I haven't talked to Chris. I'd love to talk to him just to see what specifically it was. What I'm guessing here, pure spec, is that A24 in this very corporate written top 50 law firm writing every fucking detail into an NDA, in this maybe standard NDA, it includes all kinds of subsections that basically say you cannot use any imagery or stills or anything of the sort for any promotion, self promotion, etc, etc. You have no rights to be able to discuss the name of the movie in relation to any things or business endeavors you do. I'm totally guessing, but if that is the case, it, that's an NDA that the average person who's going to see this film early wouldn't give a shit about, but Chris Hansen probably would because the fucking movies about him and Robert Pattinson is playing him in his name. So unless someone's paid by contract something before a project happens where their image in like this is going to be used and maybe they're paid, you know, I'm going to make up a number, $100,000 to not, you know, to basically say, okay, you guys are allowed to use all this and I won't use it as promotion later. If that doesn't happen, and in this case, a film is made in the image and likeness of someone without them even being involved, I don't think that in that scenario, they should have to sign an NDA that includes them signing away their rights to use anything from the film. I think they kind of have a right to do that. So that's some spec, but stay tuned on that, maybe we'll get Chris in here for some inside baseball. I wouldn't, I haven't seen the film, but I would love to see Chris be like involved with the rollout and also see him, you know, maybe do a podcast with him and, and Robert Pattinson, that'd be fucking sick, but at least be involved in like the full press tour and be able to go do this whole thing. So we will monitor that situation and then it's not pretty much covers that today. But also I do have to say, the fucking, did you see the EDP documentary? Not really. Now I've seen, I saw clips of him with Hanson, those are some good ones. Oh, Chris Hanson cooked him like Thanksgiving dinner. But yeah, it's kind of, it's still kind of new to me that whole thing. So EDP 445, if you've never seen him, he was a huge influencer online. He was this really obese dude who actually went viral back in like 2011, reacting to Eagles games because he's a huge filled off Eagles fan. I'll say unfortunately now because I'm a huge Eagles fan. But he would just have total crash outs and he became really famous for having crash outs and you'd be way over the top and all that, he's kind of fucking regret it. But you know, that's how we got famous. And so in 2021, Alex Rosen, who's a guy who like tries to catch predators online, you know, do like what Chris Hanson does, he received information that EDP might be a predator. And so he approached him online, posing as a 13 year old girl and long story short got EDP to show up to with the intentions of abusing this girl on camera and got caught and stung again. And so Hanson did, the problem is Alex Rosen botched how you do the investigation, which is a problem that happens in this space. You heard Mary-Anne Van Zeller talk about that to where people are doing the content with this and they don't think about the legality about how they do these investigations. But he botched the case so charges were not able to be filed, but EDP lost all his pages online and everything and was exposed to being a predator. And so this guy, Mike Klum, I think it's Klum, it's C-U-L-M if it's Klum, I'm sorry. But the shout out to Mike, apparently he spent a couple years like on and off around EDP with EDP's permission, which I cannot for the life of me believe that he ever agreed to do this. But shout out to Mike Klum, he makes this long documentary, I think it's a couple hours, like called inside the monster mind of EDP, something like that. And it is dark. This guy is such a fucking idiot and such a sick, sick predator. It is on YouTube, it has millions of views. It is age restricted. I do have to say, I fully understand why YouTube is age restricted, I mean it's not a be prepared for a dense watch, I'll put it that way, like Mike did not pull any punches with this, he has all kinds of on screen interviews. And at one point, he brought in Chris Hanson to just absolutely skill it fry EDP. And I'm not going to play the clip because it'll give this video fucking knock. But you can go find the clip very easily on literally every social platform. You know, the complete apathy and casual nature with which EDP was fully admitting to having had full intentions of abusing that 13 year old girl. And saying he doesn't have a problem with it, it is what it is closed off by the way with Chris Hanson spoiler alert saying, you know, if Alex Rosen had to botched this, your EDP 445S would be in prison and it's got like the fucking dead, like the sweet Caroline thing coming in the background, just fucking closing it again, Mike did some amazing job with the editing. But I would highly recommend that documentary just be prepared to see some really ugly shit. I just think it's really important though because if you know, we talk about the Epstein case a lot on the show and some of these really sick elites, the do stuff like this. But you know, you want to see how deep rooted the psychology is up close from anyone, whether they're an elite or a dude like EDP who's not an elite, but he's a phone from Grace, right? He's a lead in size. I'll tell you that. It's fucking this is a large human being. Yeah. He got to be pushing five bills. Easy. But I just think it was a really good psychological look into how that brain works in all serious
ness. And you know, the IQ on him is so far below room temperature, but it's high enough to know full well that what he's doing is sinister and gross and he is just so sadistically monstrous that he openly admits to it and chooses completely to ignore it. So maybe my psychologist and psychiatrists out there can give all the proper, I don't know, diagnoses for that. I'm not the guy to do it, but there's a lot of bad shit going on there. So definitely check that out. But let's get to this Henry Abbott Joshua Kushner story. So it's long and it's layered and it's detailed. I'm going to read some of it, like little pieces of it, but I'm going to give you a layout of what Henry Abbott is saying could be the case here. And again, we're going to say for us and for Henry as well, who made it pretty clear in this article, very clear. It's pure spec. It's just, you know, it's a lot of layers right here. So let us spec. Let me read the opening area right here. We got, you guys can get a lay of the land, essentially, Laker sell for $12 billion from Mark Walters to what's reported is Joshua Kushner and Bob Eiger. And people, I think it was $12.5 and it's just like close case and people are wondering, when else is going on here? Yeah. In comes Henry Abbott. Mona Shelburn writes Los Angeles Lakers being sold to Josh Kushner by Bob Eiger for $12.5 billion, a record-breaking price, multiple sources, told ESPN. And now Kushner and Eiger might also be on the hook for the bus family holdings too. So the bus family had sold their majority stake after having it for decades. Two Walters just last year, it was like 13, 14, 15 months ago, more on him in a second. And so they sold the remainder of their stake in this deal. So it's just like a clean, total new ownership group. Under the terms that the deal reports the New York Times, Kushner is putting up personal money and Eiger may as well. And again, to be clear, this is Joshua Kushner, not Jared, it's the younger brother. Eiger may, this is what Henry Abbott points out from that quote, somehow every media outlet is reporting that Bob Eiger is buying the Lakers. But yet they're saying Bob Eiger may put up money. How do you buy a team if you're only going to may put up money? And we're talking about $12.5 billion here, that doesn't make sense. So he says, let's estimate that Mark Walter now owns 85% of the Lakers. The bus is on almost all the rest. If that's right, someone has to get Walter 10.625 billion stat. And the buses would like a couple billion as well. Eiger is good, according to the New York Times, for perhaps zero.
And so Josh Kushner, worth a reported $5 billion, again, we're not even halfway there, needs a ton of money. So Henry says, if we go to lunch and you generously pay on your credit card with the media report that I'm buying lunch, and what if someone else pays your credit card bill? Because Forbes estimates that Bob Eiger is worth around $600 million and Josh Kushner around $5 billion. Who in the hell is actually buying the Lakers then? The tightest answer would be whoever Mark Walter owes all the money to. So before I read this next paragraph, Mark Walters currently under massive federal investigation for tax fraud. That's good. Yeah, that's good. A little bit of tax fraud, apparently never heard anyone, and they are, it's just like the Penn State thing, dude, they're going after a good and decent businessman who's bravely creating jobs in our economy. What is the problem with that, Joey? That's true. That's true. Yeah. A lot of diverse jobs too. Did I just change your mind? A kind of a little bit. Yeah, we'll do the fraud. We'll let it slide. That's good. We'll let it slide. But anyway, he's under investigation. This is the guy who owns TWG Holdings, which is this massive multinational holding company that includes, I believe, below it, can you check me on this? Joey Deaf, like Guggenheim Partners, which is where he even came into the picture. I think he was like the head of that for a while, major financial outlet right there. But he's been under massive investigation. So this guy had bought the Lakers. I'm correct on that. Okay. He had bought the Lakers. He's owned the Dodgers for a while now. And he and Chelsea, Chelsea FC, as well, over in England, he's trying to get out from under this shit. He started collecting a little too many assets, too fast. And he's like playing with balls, it seems playing with balls. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. You know, listen, whatever you're into, and listen, Mr. Walter, you do you. You do you. You do you. Anyway, so Walter is doing you by trying to now, I would say fire sell the Lakers, but like he got a record breaking deal, which is another thing here. Joey, if I own a team, even if it is a crown jewel like the Lakers, and I am under massive tax fraud investigation, all these billionaires were, you know, powerful people that are coming into buy it. They're all sharnks. They know you have to sell it. I mean, he's got fucking legal fees and shitties guy, he's got to batten up the hatches here. And they're still paying an insane record deal like that. Meaning they wanted it that quickly, that badly with as little competition as possible. When yes, it's the Lakers, I'm not going to lie, like that's, that is a, in sports, that is a crown jewel franchise. No one is saying it's not, but like Bob Eiger needs a, you know what I mean? Like it's a little, it's a little weird. Yeah, it is a little weird. It's a little weird. Anyway, back to what Henry was saying here. He said, so who in hell is actually buying the Lakers? The tidiest answer would be whoever Mark Walter owes all that money to, because again, he's had some money problems. Mark Walters business meltdown is far reaching a complex, but Pablo Tore, Brian Winhorse and others note that Mubidala Capital, great name. That's a great name. Yeah, I thought it was safe. Even if they end up being evil, great branding. Mubidala Capital agreed to anchor a $10 billion syndicated investment for one of Walter's businesses a few months before he purchased the Lakers for that exact amount. It's interesting. It sounds, you know, they, they inject them with $10 billion buys the Lakers for $10 billion. Almost like it's a little, you know, a little, you hear that sound in the Mike Joey Deish. A little slushy. A slushin' around, right? A slushin', the Gulf States love basketball too, said no one ever, anyway. And then as we discussed in the last installment, referring to his last reporting, Bloomberg reported in July about investigators looking into Walter. And this is from Bloomberg, a key in on this, folks. An early focus of the inquiry was a deal TWG struck last year with Mubidala Capital, an arm of an Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, according to people familiar with the matter. In April, 2025, the company's announced Mubidala Capital would anchor a $10 billion syndicated investment in TWG. Prosecutors were looking into whether Mubidala Capital had been misled about valuations, said the people, who has not to be identified, discussing confidential matters. It's unclear whether prosecutors are still pursuing that line of inquiry. Now, Henry adds Mubidala, Mubidala is just Mubidala, yeah, Mubidala, a lot of people are saying, is a sovereign wealth fund owned by the government of Abu Dhabi. Mubidala is currently chaired by Mansour bin Zayed al-Nayhan, otherwise known as Mbz. You got MBS in Saudi, you got Mbz in Abu Dhabi, let's just keep it simple, okay? While Caldun Khalifa al-Mubarak is managing director and group CEO. So for the purposes of this article, they're going to call him Caldun, which is what he's often referred to. He went to college in Boston and attended MBI games. Caldun lived in Los Angeles where he became close to Ari Emanuel, who's like the most powerful agent in WME as well. Emanuel found doctors when Caldun's kids got sick, Caldun funded Emanuel's ascension to run a giant sports conglomerate, but appears to have a particular interest in the MBI. Also full disclosure here, just so, you know, nothing's not only up and up, it's very public on my profile. I do have an agent at WME as well, which is what Emanuel owns, but should mention that while we're reading this. Now that Walter has become radioactive, it is possible, is it possible that Caldun would feel comfortable doing business with someone like Bob Eiger. And this is the last part I want to read down here, okay? Here's Eiger announcing Disney's seventh theme park with a video above. We're not going to play it, but that's what the announcement is in Abu Dhabi. It's a complex deal that took some negotiating between Disney and guess what? Caldun's brother, Muhammad Khalifa Al Mubarak, chairs the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi. Interesting that he was on the other side. It's like they're all related. If Caldun and Mubadallah was okay with Walter owning the Lakers, in air quotes there, reportedly purchase with Mubad dollars. I like that term. That was nice. Mubad dollars. It's going to stick. Might he be okay with Bob Eiger and Josh Kushner doing the same thing, meaning there's a little backdoor deal now. This is where I'm going to start to summarize the information and we'll come back to some little important passages that Henry puts together in this long article. Again, we should link that down below. Don't let me forget that, Joey Deef. I'll do that tonight when I'm at it in this, but I encourage you guys to read it because Henry, as usual, is going step by step, bit by bit, shot by shot, putting it all together. But essentially, the implication is that this sovereign wealth fund, as a part of Abu Dhabi, was slushing money through Mark Walter. They are now letting the ownership of the Lakers change hands and appear in what Henry is speculating to be this sale when in reality, the same money is behind it all. I think what you got to do is go back to where Henry talks about the Arab Spring here. When the Arab Spring happens back in 2011, all these nations, it started. Was it Tunisia? It started in? And then it was Egypt. It started after that. Yeah. It didn't start in Egypt. Egypt was tight. Member Basim said they were technically second. Right. I think it was Tunisia. It was first. Okay. Yeah, you're right. Obviously, they had massive uprisings. It was the first time that social media led to a massive social movement that enacted government changes in major countries. It started to be all kinds of uprisings across a lot of other countries all across the Middle East. And there were a lot of government stretching as far as Russia that were very concerned about the president set here. I think at one point, Henry mentions this in the article, there were like 120,000 protesters outside the Kremlin. And Putin was like, "Yo, that shit can't be fucking happening, fat." Yeah. That was the color revolution. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We ain't doing this. Then NBC did exactly what everybody does. He invested in an Israeli spy company, an Israeli run spy company to create surveillance on the citizens so that nothing would happen. And by nothing, I mean, his power would not be in question. Joy-Deaf, is that what you would have done? Yeah. I mean, you got to lock it down. You do have to lock it down. Yeah. You don't have to lock down, batten up the hatches. It's almost like-- Remember at MSG how they were doing this with flock surveillance systems or whatever? It's funny. It's like teeing it right up for L.I., they're going to have both coast covered. Funny you say that, Joy-Deaf, because I believe it's some point in this article. He does. He mentions. Henry Appetm mentions. James Don. James Don. He had surveillance for everyone except fucking people that were raising kids, parent and, you know. I'm not going to name names there. I don't want a defamation suit, but I think you know who I'm talking about. At least, let me correct the record in a lawyerly way. People who were strongly associated with every warning sign in sight with certain people named like, oh, I don't know, Jeffrey Epstein, who was in charge of an giant, a giant trafficking operation to raise kids. And by the way, this story's going to include Epstein. That's coming. But just to give you an idea on the exact details, because Henry does have it about who and BZ invested in when he saw the Arab Spring coming down the put.
Like Henry says, NBC saw the fast-moving revolt as a threat to his monarchy. To tighten security, NBC turned to Asia global technologies, companies based in Switzerland. That's where you go, Joey Deef. Asia global technology is based out of Switzerland. Hold on. It's going to get deeper. I like that. It's founder. Remember, Asian technologies in Switzerland, founded by Matanya Kachavi and Israeli with the background and intelligence. It makes sense. It makes sense. It's the trifecta. It is the trifecta. Swiss is Israeli, China. Well, Asia, hey, could be, you say Asian, I'm assuming China could be Taiwan. It could be Taiwan. It could be Taiwan. It could be Korea. Which Korea? Imagine in Israeli Korean. That's a funny thing to think about. You do know where Kim Jong-un went to school, right? No fucking way. Did he? Switzerland. Oh, I thought you were going to tell him. No, he didn't go to tell him yet. I fell in love with Dennis Rodman in Switzerland. That's so funny. Anyway, pause. In February 2011, Abu Dhabi awarded, oh, I forgot. It's international chairman, referring to the founder, the company founded by Matanya Kachavi, the Israeli with the background intelligence. It's international chairman, was Martin Edelman. In February 2011, Abu Dhabi awarded AGT a $600 million contract to install a statewide surveillance system, a project named Falcon Eye, which is not the stupid one. In fact, the source close to the project told the London-based news site, Middle East Eye, quote, "Every person," and this is in 2011, people. Every person is monitored from the moment they leave their doorstep to the moment they return to it. Their work, social, and behavioral patterns are recorded, analyzed, and archived. It sounds like science fiction, but it's happening today in Abu Dhabi. Wow. This is how they responded to the Arab Spring years ago, and let me take a quick tangent here. I'm going to come back right to where we are in this story. Joe Dief will make sure I don't lose my spot. But one of the things that in having some really constructive conversations with different people over a long day here, over the last week, that has come up, is people saying you're getting so upset about flock when we already got these things sitting here in our hands. Of course, I'm holding up my phone if you're listening and not watching. And trust me, I think this is a huge problem. I think that the access and security that we give up on these phones is absolutely an issue behind the scenes. But I think it's a Pandora's box that's been open and now cannot be closed, and it scares the shit out of me with what can be done with that. We've seen plenty of good, we talked about Pegasus a million times on this show. That's going to come up today again, by the way. And things like that that can infiltrate your phone. Here's one difference in semantics. And I want to highlight in semantics that I see with the phones that makes it more difficult before I explain why I have a problem with the flock cams that are appearing in public places. When you're talking about a phone, it's something that is a part of you that you use on your own. You do use it everywhere and it tracks your location and that shit is certainly an issue. But at home, you're using it and there is this right to privacy that still exists through all kinds of Supreme Court interpretations of the Constitution that have happened throughout our country's history. And so I used the example of the public semantics posturing that you saw back in 2015 with the San Bernardino shooter. Here you had a terrorist who had killed a bunch of people who was dead. And Apple, very publicly, and we talked about this on the show a bunch over the years, refused to unlock his iPhone for the FBI. Jim DeOrio has been on the show before. We talked about this a bunch because he was in the FBI at the time and he wanted the iPhone. He wanted it. And Jim DeOrio is a good guy. But as I point out to him, I'm like, Jim, I believe that you won't use that as a bad precedent to do way worse things, but who's to say the other fucking bad agent in there isn't going to use that in the future. And guys like that love Jim. Great dude. They never have a great answer to that question because they know they may be moral. But who's to say everyone else's so anyway, Apple did not unlock the iPhone. Now I have no doubt that these tech companies, including Apple, you know, Apple always brags about their customer support for privacy compared to the other companies. I've always said it's like saying you're a dwarf among midgets, you know, you can reach the second shelf. Congratulations. I need you on the 10th. But anyway, like when you see those things happen publicly, you know there is at least some facade semantically. I hope this is making sense for some right to privacy, where it's not full blown big brother on your phone. When you are talking about public spaces filled with flock cameras that you leave the privacy of your home and go places and don't realize these things are or realize these things are. And then something happens and you're framed and it can track your Bluetooth movements. It goes way beyond the standards of what they're supposed to do because people have access to it. And you can see cops and law enforcement abuse it. If they want, as we've already seen happen, that's an issue for me. That's a huge issue for me. And if you don't believe that, look no further than what MBC is laying out here. He's laying out exactly what the Chinese protocol was. Now China, the CCP doesn't have a constitution like ours, so they could probably fuck people with the phones already. But we remember during the pandemic, you can even look at Australia by the way with this one. But let's keep it on China for a second. You know, they had drones outside people's houses making sure they weren't coming out on the fucking porch. You know, they have a full social credit system. And so things like flock in public spaces without your consent can decide to delve into your privacy because you've gone out into the public. You have left the privacy of your home. And that is a big difference to me. It is not discounting that the phone is not something that is very problematic for me when I look at privacy and I look at government surveillance and stuff like that. Of course it is. But don't give me the argument of the well, what about to get the argument off something that is a legitimate place to argue about. In this case surveillance cameras and flock. So again, I have something 15 years ago that they were doing in the Middle East bragging about how everyone, and again, let's read that line. Everyone is monitored from the moment they leave their doorstep to the moment they return to it. Their work, social and behavioral patterns are recorded, analyzed and archives and archive. That's what I worry about. So you saw all these places work on surveillance and where it gets interesting and where the overlap kind of comes back. Because again, this story starts with the Lakers and Iger with Kushner buying the team and there's some weird money behind it. It of course delves into one Jeffrey Epstein. Did I put that part on the actual doc, Dief, or can I go that in the article? Yeah, let's go do it in the article. Because guess what? Surprise, all these people are tied to Jeffrey Epstein. In his final years, Henry Abbott writes, "Jeffrey Epstein was cooking up something big. There's credible analysis that Jared Kushner, so we're on Jared now. His signature diplomatic accomplishment, the Abraham Accorbs, were born of Epstein's sorted efforts to build a bridge between the Emirates and Israel. And Henry Abbott, I believe, has an article. He links that back. I think that's his article where he's investigating that. There's so much more. Kate Justice says Epstein told Rafat Alsabag, the senior advisor at the Royal Court that Saudi Arabia was held hostage by the US banking system and across roughly 14 months of correspondence. He proposed five mechanisms for getting the kingdom out of that arrangement. Epstein's scheme tied together cryptocurrency, China, and nations like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE recognizing and deepening ties with Israel. A man named David Stern, and that is not the MBA commissioner, David Stern, to be clear, as a different David Stern, emailed Epstein in October 2017, listen to this quote, "Digital currency." And then it's got a colon and it says, "MBZ," who we just talked about as a part of the, what is it? Moobadala? Moobadala. Yeah. "MBZ handed to Caldune, speaking to him." So this David Stern is reporting back to Jeffrey Epstein that he is in direct contact with Caldune and NBC in regards to all the things I list there, which includes cryptocurrency, China, and nations like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and I always say Qatar and Qatar, I never know which fucking one it is. And the UAE recognizing and deepening ties with Israel. So they're working on peace deals in the Middle East with Israel on that behalf. And certainly hit the bells there and wonder what that's all about. And they're also working on things like cryptocurrency that could be controlled by governments in this case, which would make it central bank digital currency, which would tie directly into a surveillance state system where they could track everything you do and create a social credit score and decide when, where, and how you can spend your money.
or if that is even possible. Never gets old, that's a deep, but at least Apple is going to let me know if Pegasus has been installed on my phone. That's right. What is that, Joy-Dee? That's amazing. Nothing crazy. Nothing crazy Apple. No, it's kind of like that FBI thing. It seems like they're just taking precautions. They're going to alert users if a foreign spyware has been installed on their phone, i.e. Pegasus or whatever the Chinese are cooking up in the wok, all that. Right. So, what does that look like, Joy-Dee? Do I get a push button notification from Apple that says, "Hello, you're fucked." Yeah, they're just going to start sending you notifications being like they're coming for you. Right. So it's a notification that basically says, "Congratulations, you're dead, but at least just want to let you know that." Yeah. And by the way, there's not a lot of clouds. It's not hot. You might be in purgatory. Yeah. You're going to have to make a new Apple ID on that. Yeah. New Apple ID. And, you know, Shabbat Shalom. That's right. That's it. Pretty much it. Now, Joy-Dee, if you want to know who else happened to be in Saudi Arabia in October 2017 when Jeffrey Epstein was coordinating with David Stern, the Kushmeister, who I don't know. Yeah. Well, in late October 2017, Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, Middle East Advisor during Trump administration one, dropped into Saudi Arabia for an unannounced visit to the desert retreat of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and BS, who was in the process of consolidating his power. The two men talked privately late into the night. That's what you do. You go meet with your favorite world leader, unannounced, unannounced, who definitely has never committed a human rights violation in any way, shape, or form, is a benevolent democratically elected, right? Yeah. He did not round up everyone right around this same time period that was related to him in his giant incestuous royal family and put them all into the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Saudi Arabia as prisoners and torture them and kill some of them. It's all above board. Right. He didn't do any of that. All above board. No. I just want to be clear. Your honor, my client, is innocent. He's innocent of all charges. And you know what? As far as I know, Joy-Dee, if I was told that because no sanctions happen, he was not responsible for the killing of Jamal Hashoggi, right? Checks out. He's got documentation. Blink twice if you're a hostage, Joy-Dee. That was a lot of times. That's not. It was three. That was three. That was three. You have to actually count it out so that people get it right. Let me run that by. Blink twice if you're a hostage, Joy-Dee, just saying. Just saying. You can rewrite, and this is from The New York Times again. Mr. Kushner's younger brother, Josh, then 32, was also flying out to the Kingdom. It was a giant family reunion in the Saudi Arabian fucking palace. Jared came to talk policy, but Josh was there on what, Joy-Dee? Bizz. Bizz. Bizz. It's always Bizz. The founder of an eight-year-old venture capital firm, Josh Kushner had spent the three days before his brother's arrival at an investor conference, which is what VC people do, where Prince Mohammed had promised to spend billions of dollars on a high-tech future for Saudi Arabia. As other satire speeches and a gilded conference hall, several participants said the younger Mr. Kushner frequently ducked out for more exclusive conversations with Saudi officials. Near the end, the article includes the line, "The Riyadh conference drew Wall Street Titans," and some attendees questioned how a relatively small player enjoyed high-level access to Saudi officials. Josh was just 32 at the time. Oh, I don't know. Maybe his fucking brother is a senior nepo baby, you know, advisor to the sitting president of the United States, doing fucking bizz off the government books in the Middle East. So maybe his younger brother can also be nepoed right the fucking. It seems that fucking check out to me. No, how would that happen? I mean, that's apparently what happens at these places, Joey Dief. Look at Phoebe Gates. Hey, hey, individuals, man, he's a good guy, he's a Democrat. Don't tell me you're sorry, defending Phoebe Gates now. No, Kushmeister, Josh, he's a dem, dude, good guy. I know. He's got a moral compass. He's the same kind of thing right here, you know, it's all the big club that we're not in and everything. Bizz, man. So the same things that Epstein's working on with base deals wrapped in a little surveillance, the Kushner's happened to be there at the same time, making some decisions, the later lead to some big evaluations in their companies, remember Jared Kushner later in 2021 got what was the 2.1 billion from the Saudis? Not bad. Because he was out of politics at that point, of course, he said he was never to return. I think Iran has a word to say about that, neither here nor there. But Joshua Kushner also continued to get investments throughout these years, which Henry breaks down very in a lot of detail in the article. So read it there, but different people started to put money into Jared Kushner's phone. What was it called? Thrive? That's right. It was called Thrive. So Thrive grows eventually, a lot of things happen in Jared Kushner, or excuse me, Joshua Kushner, is allegedly worth 5 billion, which I believe technically makes him the highest valuation Kushner, which is good for him. I guess that's hard to do. But Thrive, very quietly, very, very quietly on April 24, did a little something in Delaware, Joey Deef. You know what they did? What they did. They did a deal. Let's go on. They did a deal. They did a quiet deal. Quiet deal. So from Henry's article, Kushner announced Thrive eternal on April 24. That's good branding. Thrive eternal. A little spin off. Yeah. That's like a nice name. I like that. It makes you think like, you know, things are going to be Thrive eternal. So Kushner announced Thrive eternal on April 24, which reportedly will contribute to the Lakers purchase. Thrive eternal feeder LP was formed in Delaware on March 26, four weeks prior. A feeder is a vehicle that collects investors and channels them into a master fund. The master fund is not in Delaware. So far, SEC filings contain no mention of Thrive eternal whatsoever. Henry writes, "I searched Edgar by company name by full text and by Thrive's address at 295 Lafayette Street. It's very possible that no regulator, not the SEC, not anyone, will ever see a list of who invests with Thrive eternal." That means we are relying on the NBA to vet this transaction, which could include money below the surface. And they're-- Oh, there it goes. Yeah. No, they're real hard. They're real hard. They're gone. That's so fucking hard. They're like, is it is every dollar there? Yes, it is. It's there. There it goes. There it goes. They're from slash, slash, slash, baby. Stamp it. Moral of the story. If there's sovereign wealth money filed below and hidden through a bunch of basically, like for lack, it's not, I guess, what it should be called legally, but through lack of a better term, these kind of shellish type companies, LPs, you know, it's like the follow the money trail. It's a little gray, a little gray, a little gray to the point that you're like, "Okay." And then you're an Abu Dhabi. Then you're an Abu Dhabi. Big fans basketball. That's it, dude. Huge. I've heard it's a big, big place for basketball. But Jared Kushner, Joshua Kushner also, and Thrive, you know, the Lakers is not just about the Lakers. Yeah. These investments are not just about just the love of the game and biz. They also do want to get in the surveillance, Joey Deef. Henry writes, "A report from Stefan Role at the German Institute for Security and International Affairs says Gulf states have the biggest sovereign wealth funds in the world and use them to gain political influence. Since 2019, Mubidala." Remember? Mubidala is the company we talked about at the beginning here, that the Caldune guy runs and MbZ is the chairman of. Mubidala has held since 2019 an indirect stake in the Israeli company NSO Group, the developer of the Pegasus spyware. They're all friends. In 2022, the Saudi company for artificial intelligence, another PIF subsidiary invested more than $200 million, very chunk changed there, in the Chinese firm SenseTime, which is widely known for its facial recognition and surveillance technologies, which I'm sure that they're not going to use for surveillance and power over the average person. Anyway, two years later, the PIF subsidiary, a lot, entered into a partnership with one of the largest manufacturers of surveillance technology in China, Dahua technology, to produce surveillance hardware in Saudi Arabia. For its part, QIA, which is, I believe, Catori, acquired a stake in Databricks in 2023, a data processing and artificial intelligence company whose platform can be used for real-time surveillance applications. Josh Kushner and Thrive Henry writes, "led Databricks most recent $10 billion, there's that number again, in fundraising." Although while role discusses real-time surveillance, Kushner assures us that Databricks is driven by "it's mission to democratize data and AI, never underestimate a billionaire's ability to use the word democracy inserted into the middle of any sentence to make it feel like [BLANK_AUDIO]
for the people when they are fucking you right up the ass. (beep) And that (beep) while they do it. My God, these guys have absolutely gone everywhere. Since Donald Trump took power in, I guess, in January, 2017, and he had the hiatus there where they were still, in this case, Jared Moore, I'm referring to, were using that influence directly to get money and investments with all these places that are trampling on any quote-unquote human rights that people who care about democracy would pretend to care about. Because they don't. They don't. Isn't it funny how everyone, it just seems like, like Israel, Qatar, China. Everyone's just kind of like teaming up. They're like, all right, you guys got facial recognition. We're gonna make the AI that does the real time survey, and they're like, all right, let's meet back. - That. - We eat back in a few. - Yeah, it's almost like all the geopolitical conflicts are like a little derived as a stage for us to just. - One, one together. - Right, you know, throw some armies at it. We'll throw a few bodies at it. - Yeah, we'll play out a few bars. We're not dying. - Yeah, a little pop control. - Come on. - A little pop control? - You ever ran a simulation on like your NCAA football? You're like, let it run for like half the season. We'll come in, finish it up, and. - That's right. - Now, continue on. Just let it simulate a way, and make sure some defense companies make a lot of money, and they were investing them ahead of time. By the way, you know, we'll throw a few bucks in it too, and we found it 'em. You found it 'em. - Yeah. - If there's no such thing as a national, it's all multinational. - That's it. - That's it. - That's all it is. - But that is-- - That's crazy. - That's crazy. - Of an article from Henry Abbott. And again, maybe it's nothing. - That's what I think it's nothing. - It could be nothing. - Probably nothing. - It's probably not nothing. - Do your own research, people. You decide for yourselves. But shout out to the Kushners. They seem to always come up. But hey, I mean, we said it at the beginning, Joey Deef, the most important story of the week, with all due respect to the Kushners and NBC, and all these sovereign wealth funds, and the Lakers, and, you know, whatever. Most important story of the week is the massive, many north that was uncovered in State College, Pennsylvania. (laughs) - Let's get the breakdown here. - It really is a happy valley. - It is a hell. - Hell yeah. - They don't even need fresh snow out there. The slubs are always covered. - Come on, let's pull up that first one. - Way to get it down from people. - Can you pull up the first one? - Oh yeah, that's what the first one can have right there. - Yeah, it's that. - So this is a quick breakdown. If you've been living under a fucking rock and haven't seen the real story that rocked our world, this is the one I'm looking for. So Pablo Pledge Cabar, which of course is a nickname. It's a pretty hard nickname though. - Fire. - This dude was a deensless accounting major. Joey Deef, when you're doing important biz, and running as my friend Luis Navio would say product. Yep, that's what you refer to it as. Luis Navio was like the chief smuggler of cocaine for the cartels for many years before he went down in 2000 in Operation Journey. But anyway, when you're doing that, you need to be able to crunch the numbers. - Yeah, I would actually argue it's a very big advantage to have the guy running things also be the numbers guy. - That's right. - It's one less thing you got outsourced. Everyone obviously knows that all ducks are in a row. You make sure that you don't have people just coming off the top, you don't want that. - Yeah, and if the books are gonna get cooked, you're the one cooking them. - You're the one cooking them. - But this dude was a deensless accounting major at Penn State who kept a blog talking about quote, his passion for numbers and financial storytelling. - Unquote, he did some financial storytelling. - And how he wanted to be at the forefront of the financial landscape. Little did we know, he was already ahead of the curve. - He did a big kid. - He also cut his frat brother's hair on the side for extra cash, he's a hustler, I like that. - Knows how to cut. - I like this kid. Meanwhile, he's allegedly the top of the entire cocaine chain for the campus, which is a rather large campus. Running kilos out of a Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon House, making regular supply runs to Philly and New York, as you do, that's where there's obviously some great supply chains that run through major cities like that and they're both within a Penn State, I think Philly is probably about two and a half hour drive in New York's probably about three and a half, so they're both reachable. So we'd make regular supply runs to Philly and New York and using actual pledges to cut and bag the product as their official quote indoctrination. - I'm right. - This is what you do. When you're managing labor, you look for the best opportunities to find cheap labor so that you can reduce costs, increase profit, and run a good business. - I see no issues. - And with the incentive of the fraternity, you know you're gonna get trustworthy employees 'cause they want into the frat. - They do talk. You're not going, you're not in, you're not in, you're out. - That's right, it's kind of like, this is very skull and bonesy in the sense to like, they get there, what did they do with skull and bones? They like make them go naked in a fudge. - They dress coffin and they give up all their biggest secrets and they take weird pictures of them so that they can never fucking turn on the place. - Yeah, yeah. - Pure spec, but that's what I said. - Pure spec, this has been handed down through the fraternities. - I might be dead, listen. If you have a good operation and you are a senior, you are about to graduate Penn State. - Yeah. - Which actually as we're gonna find out in a minute, this guy didn't like the whole passing down thing. But anyway, the people before him may have been like, listen bro, the gay man in me no more. - I have two kids. - I can't, I can't do this shit. - I can't do this shit bro. You gotta take it. That's what you do. You pass it down and pop up a plus, come on. Takes over, but you would make the pledges cut and bag the product as official doctoration. There's even a photo from one of the deals where pledges are helping package 500 grams. He's just sold for $18,000. Later deals hit full kilos. He's fucking in for a spec, sometimes. He kept selling after he graduated. And this is our boy right here. - Yo. - Get a good look. - I want to shake his hand. - Can we get the t-shirt, please? - That's straight fogal, right? - The jokes write themselves because there were 14 people arrested here that included other students and one of the students' fathers, who's a lawyer, who's now, who's now been labeled "Snowpaw" like a joke. - Dude, that's a good family fun. - You apparently, this is a lawyer. Who had a safe where he hid money and evidence and whatever, so he's been charged with instructing the investigation, but somebody, please, get me this t-shirt. (laughing) - This is gonna be the t-shirts for the white out this fall. - Oh my God, horrible. You know what's gonna happen? They're gonna try to ban this from the fucking stadium. Like if kids are walking into the stadium with that, they're not gonna let them in. But if like 25,000 Penn State students, for I don't know how big the student section is, but if that's how big it is, walk in with that t-shirt, you're gonna ban on 25k, and then let in the next 25, who are also wearing the same fucking t-shirt. - No, no, I mean, I'm sure that there's like some coach somewhere in one of the programs doing crazy shit right now, so they're gonna just let it happen. - Bro, every time there's a touchdown? - That's just a spec, by the way. - That's straight spec. - Every time there's a touchdown this year, they're gonna be throwing bacon soda in the air. - Yeah, like throwing them in the air. - Like live ground. - Wow, we're going home. - Where they should, guys, here's one for you. You guys should all, you should do a ski themed game where you all dress up in ski equipment. Have you fun? - Yeah. - Honestly, I'm happy. I told you, I'm really happy for these kids, and you know, everybody involved. - I know that sounds a little dark, because we're living in a time where we're talking about, you know, young kids aren't going out and, you know, drinking or having fun or engaging with one another, you know, sexually or whatever. And it's nice to see that, like, there's kids in college that not only are partying and, you know, selling little toots on the side, they're doing it, they're big doing it. And I think if anything, it's given, it's a little, it's a little injection of hope for, you know, what's going on in our society. - A little injection of hope, Joy-Deef says, 'cause these kids are gone from Penn State to the state pen. - Something, yeah, like, yeah, that's good. - There are supply chains in the pens though. - I do hear that. - Yeah, I mean, it's just, you know, I'm just happy to see that the kids are just slinging some bags instead of, like, hanging in the room and, you know, watching, you know, Fuentes or whoever, you know, like, this is, they're getting involved on campus, they're communicating with one another. - Obviously the show is satire, it has to be taken literally, YouTube, but. - Yeah, no. I'm kidding. - Yeah, we're in it, it's all in chips. - Chill out. - But this is one of my favorite stories in a while. And unfortunately, though, if this investigation, which by the way, this must have been like the fucking Super Bowl for the local cops around there. This investigation started back in the fall 2024, 'cause they had some snitches on their boat. - Well, hey, you know what? I want to know this. - What do you want to know? - How many fentanyl-related ODs have happened on campus during the length of this investigation? Because if not, pretty impressive.
you know that they were running a good operation with good, clean product. And I don't know, I'm not saying we should applaud them for it, but I guess we could say, hey, glad you guys didn't kill anybody. I recognize that could be a bit callous, but you know, it's just the joke. Just the joke. - Now, you make a good point that we were losing our grip on traditions. - Yes. - You gotta bring some back, but I do wanna say, this is also some anti-attacking defamation going on here. - Oh, why? What do you mean? - 'Cause fucking Pablo Pledgeka Bar. - He's a member of the Boots Society. - Oh, he is. - Yeah. - And he's like Henry. He's like Henry and Goodfell is like-- - Yeah, but he's got a last name with a foul at the end. It's like Abbottiello or some shit like that. - Yeah, we don't got that. - And this is always what happens. - When the Italians in charge-- - I know, they comment. - I told you. - He made a whole, Joey Deef wrote a whole play about this. - I even say it. - It's been happening for over a century. - To one of two things happens, the Italian gets in charge and he just goes full blown corrupt. Fauci, Cuomo, lists goes on and on. Or he gets into power and they're just like, "Oh, this olive oil singing voice needs out." And they just, you know, they do this. - They do this. - They do this thing operation, whack 'em. Take 'em out. - Yeah, it's like, you know, we'll monitor the case. We'll see what kind of lawyers these guys get. But fucking, Pledge Cabar, he didn't even get bail. - To apparently, that's a little much. - It's a little much, but apparently like, he didn't show up right away for the arrangement. - Yeah, 'cause he's a G. (laughing) - He's like, stars always late. - He's like, "Fogal and super bad." Like, "Gangsters, Chico Chico, yeah, fake ID." - He's like, "Fuck that." But I think denying bail is a bit crazy. - Like, I read that and I'm like, "That's a bit much." - Yeah, I mean, you know. - What's the line for the Sprout? - It's a little coke. - Yeah, it's just a little coke. - A little coke, what do you want? - Yeah, wish 'em well. - Okay, we do. As Tim Dillon would say, we do wish 'em well. - We wish 'em very well. Do we have, can you pull that data? How many drug-related deaths have occurred in Happy Valley in the past three years? - How many drug-related deaths have occurred on Penn State's campus in the last three years? - But that's, see that wording right there, on campus. - So you think-- - I'm gonna say Happy Valley. - You think the business may have extended past the lines of the students. - Totally, they broke those. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's all students. I'm just saying that they're not always partying on campus. - Right, right, right. - So like, have occurred within-- - How about the student body of Penn State? - Do that. This is some live research on the show. - Everybody, these are the important things to show a deep-- - Well, because that's gonna be big in the trial, 'cause if they got a few fentats, they're gonna be like, these are tied to you, son. - Actually, that, that, if they do, then-- - Okay. - That's fucked. 'Cause that is, and we talked about that before, that is the thing with-- - There's no centralized data. - The party drugs today, it's like, it's not like it was even 10 years ago, you know, because you don't know what the fuck is in them. It's scary shit. There's no data, Joey Deef. - It says there's no centralized or publicly released official statistics given that. Yeah, I don't know if I'd wanna be released in statistics like that if I was a college either, you know. - That's actually very fair. - You're very fair, you know what? - It's like, well, we only lost two this year. - Yeah, it's like, well, they, those were children. - Yeah, they're fucking kids, too. - They have families. - Yeah, it's a fair point. But you would think like the local government would have, I mean, maybe-- - Yeah, I'm gonna, all right, so how many drug-related deaths have occurred in Happy Valley? - In state college, PA. I mean, that's the whole town, though, son. I mean, the distribution network could have gone far. - Yeah, but if you're an adult living in Happy Valley, you know, it's probably, you probably should, you know, hang it up. You know, like what kind of day to day life do you have living in state, like, state college? I've just live in the glory days, but I mean, really are. Old school is one of my favorite movies, you never know. - That's right. - It's never too late. It's never too late to go back. - So. - Wow. - Wow. - Wow. - Did you find something good? - Yeah, I mean, wow, impressive. - All right, in Happy Valley, state college, surrounding Center County, Pennsylvania, a total of 176 deaths have been recorded since 2013. So I will say this, if any of those, now these kids are in operation for the last five years, and this part I say seriously. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - If any of those are tied back to these kids, they're fucked up. - Oh, it's over. - And they should be. They should be. I mean, all jokes aside, 'cause it is a funny story. This is what we do here, but that's, and again, I don't have kids yet, but I think about that a lot, like when they're gonna be teenagers, everything. Who knows what the fuck is gonna be around by then? - I have no idea. But you don't-- - You be smoking crypto. - You don't know what you're getting these days. It's not, you know, whenever you're doing party drugs at any kind, obviously, you were always taking a risk, even if it was the fucking 70s. But like the whole, you know, the precursors and everything, they just be thrown into this, but people who don't give a fuck, all takes his wants. And that's a very, I talked to a lot of parents about that. And of course, that's like their number one fear, and I totally agree with them. I totally understand that. - Yeah, no, I get that. I think there needs to be good education and safety taught. - Yes. - Like, like, bunk police. I forgot who was on here recently and mentioned them, but bunk police is like a $20 testing kit. Not saying you should do it, but I mean, for Christ's sakes, if you're gonna fucking do it-- - They're gonna throw 20 fucking dollars. - Yeah, throw 20 bucks. - And get an out. - And get a fucking test kit. - Yeah, I test 'em. Anyway, anyway. - That's not what the kids do. - That truck used to. - Joe, it's funny. How many resources they put in to catch in these kids? And as far as I can tell publicly, I still don't see any resources going into Phoebe Gates. - Well, allegedly, it's all alleged. You know, knew about some cookie stuff and that we've covered now on two separate shows. - Yeah. - But the story keeps getting funnier. And by funnier, I mean, you wanna poke your eyeballs out because you can't even write this stuff anymore. Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, who's never been accused. Ever, ever, not once joined, never even been accused of being a global elite that wants to, you know, control how populations exist in this country around the world. He has never been accused of that, ever. But Phoebe Gates, daughter Bill Gates, took a secret Stanford course on controlling society and used it to recruit for her startup that's now facing allegations. So, the first part of the article goes through all the stuff that she's accused of. The next part of the article that goes through this whole course. So, the extent of Gates' self-conceit, Mayo and this from Yahoo, may also be the result of a secondary education, secondary education. So it's like the next level. - So you get credits for this. - Yeah, you get to go upstairs. You get to go to the secret. - Gotcha. - A secondary education in Stanford University, which is known to indulge in privileged peoples already heightened sense of self-worth. Y'all, whoever wrote that, that's a nice sentence right there. I like that. - Who's the writer of this article? - This is Victor Tangerman. - Victor, you cook there. As the student run newspaper, the Stanford Daily reported in May, Gates eat, wow, wow, that she got outed by the student paper, good on them. - Way to be. - Way to be, guys, good, good journals. Gates even attended a secretive off the book's course, which was never publicized and required a referral from another student, again, very skulls and bulls. - Student. - Called quote, so you think you can rule the world, unquote, or quote, rule, unquote, in the shorthand of the Sanford set. The content of the course, which saw 12 students meet once a week during the winter quarter, sounds about as ominous as its name suggests. The courses instructor, Silicon Valley investor, and Stanford graduate, Justin Lewis Weber, took it upon himself to bring together, quote, like-minded folks who dared to dream bigger together. They love how they dress it up. Sounds good. As a former student, put it in the interview with the Daily, which is the Stanford paper. Another student added that the goal was to teach students, quote, how to essentially hack any kind of power structure or bureaucratic structure and get what they want in a system of people, unquote, which is definitely not what Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein spent, apparently a lot of their adult lives trying to do. It's more, quote, it's more about identifying the vulnerabilities or loopholes. We love loopholes. The same student added. I think the instructor is less concerned with the ethics of it all in the problems of elements. Another student said the course focused on the cynical parts of Silicon Valley describing the instructor behind it as power-hungry, intellectual, but really focused on profit and power instead of doing good. Yeah, a course called so you think you can run the world is about fucking profit and power and not doing good. Who would have guessed? The course wasn't incidental to Gates' professional career either. Another student told the Stanford Daily. Yep. Casper-Tell, where are you, bro? Pull up.
Pull up, son. Another student told the Stanford Daily that Gates used the cluster recruit for her company, FIA. Considering how long Gates knew about her start-ups, Dicey and potential fraudulent practice, which accounted for over 50% of their revenue in June per Bloomberg's estimates, she must have been taking plenty of detailed notes during the call. Go ahead. Also, go ahead, Victor. Come on. Go ahead. Love to see it. These people live by a separate set of laws as you and I. Now, listen, Dave, if Cash Betel comes down off that fucking FBI jet, I is all wondering. You never know where they're looking, but he's got that FBI jacket on. Those custom air forces, the right FBI director cash on the back of it, you know, and comes down in front of a mic and said, you know, we have arrested Phoebe Gates on allegations of cookie-stuffing. He will get a loud apology from me on this. And I will, and I'll be Chinese. I'll be Chinese, but I'll be giving it a round of applause. I'm just not going to hold my breath to see that day because I'll be dead. It's never going to happen. But, you know, in the midst of optically not reading the room, we just continue to see more long patterns of not reading the room. I'm very privileged kids that, you know, seem to want to follow and daddy's footsteps. Pure spec. Yeah, this is this is the year of optics. I'll tell you that. If you wanted to ask me, what's the one thing you took away from this year with all this stuff, I'm like, I have realized that people they do not think about how it looks ever. They don't ever because there's no punishment. No, like it's just that's where we're at. You just do your thing. They can do it. And then they can look down at you and say, what are you going to do about it? And you know what, Joey D if I'm going to be honest, you and I are going to sit here and talk into mics on YouTube and upload it. Yeah. And that's the extent of what we're going to do about it. Yeah, unfortunately, I don't have the ability to arrest these people myself. You know, that best part is we, you just said that in some fucking version of the comments is going to talk so much shit and like they're just sitting at home and they're underwear, just like ripping comments. Like that's hilarious. Good for them. Like you stupid fuckers just making a podcast about it. That's right. That's right. That's that's your lays chips, son. That's all we can do on our corner of the internet, but we will shine a light on it as well. We do. But speaking of it's speaking out, thanks Joey D. You know what? We want some great optics are. Yeah, where when you're the sitting president of the United States and your extremely unqualified real estate buddy, who has been unsuccessfully negotiating along with Jared Kushner, the implosion of what's happening in this Iran war for many months now, who's been a disaster of a Middle East envoy when the two of you, you, the president and this guy Steve Wichoff, decide to come together while you're still in office and mark it off your name, the Trump name and the Wichoff name, a brand new bank. They're off that Penn State pack. This from coming up with ideas like that. It's almost say about that. This is from Karen Piper on Twitter. The Trump and Wichoff families are opening a bank in Florida. The investors in this banker on this close, it will not. It will not have to follow FDIC rules. Nice. And she says pure spec here on Karen's part, I smell a money laundering opportunity. Now let's, let's read the bylaws that they're whatever the fuck this is that she screen shot it is on on against worse folks. Upon opening WLTC will be a national trust bank engaged in activities permissible under section 92 A of the national bank act, including the issuance of USD one, a fiat back digital asset. I'm going to come back to this in a minute designed to maintain a one-to-one equivalence to the US dollar WLTC will also manage. That's the bank. The required reserve backing outstanding USD one comprised of US dollars on deposit and financial institutions as well as US government money market funds and cash equivalence and engaging custodial activities. The sponsor's primary goals are to deliver superior financial products and drive mainstream adoption, mainstream adoption of USD one, which will be issued by WLTC along with issuance and redemption of USD one and maintenance of the required reserve WLTC seeks to provide digital asset custody services to institutional investors as described in detail in section 3.a of WLTC's confidential business plan provided at confidential exhibit big because we've got to be confidentially confidential about this because obviously we don't need to be letting the public know about what we're doing. The optics of a sitting president and his fucking unelected envoy opening up a bank that is going to be using said bank to push forward a digital currency that they stand a profit on through their company that they're setting up here. The optics are pretty bad there. And when we're living in a world in this and you know who knows what the grand plan is with USD one, which I might explain more in a second, but like so we'll find out then. But like when you have people like me and you righteously worried about central bank digital currencies and stuff, someone's so high in the power structure setting up their own currency that's crypto back with a brand new fucking bank that they're setting up almost like a sunset clause after they leave office. Yeah, I think it's fair to say the tinfoil hats get in a few buzzes at the top of it, little electromagnetic waves if you will, right? Yeah, especially when you're leading the adoption of this cool new said digital currency. I don't really like that. I don't. Joey Deef doesn't like that. That's on the record. Because what happens when you're not the president anymore, you guys are still this is a, you know, doesn't say well when they I'm at a loss for words. I don't want to loss for words. I don't like Joey Deef. I don't like that. Let's let's talk about what USD one is though. This is straight from Google AI. You know, the most basic AI there is that definitely is not in any way compromised. Anyway, USD one is a digital dollar peg stablecoin created by world liberty financial a cryptocurrency venture co funded co founded by Donald Trump and his family. Of course, it's family fair. What USD one is USD one is a cryptographic digital asset designed to maintain a stable value of one US dollar. It is backed by cash equivalent, short-term US government treasury bonds because of course we got to get the government and their bonds and dollar deposits launched in March 2025. It has grown significantly reaching over $4 billion in circulation. The newly approved world liberty trust company received preliminary conditional approval for a federal national trust bank charter, which is what we just read from the office of the comptroller of the currency. Of course, the government that he runs gave the approval for the fucking thing that they're asking for. That makes sense. I wonder how that would happen. Yeah. Well, what's important is that it removes middlemen. This charter allows the trust company to directly issue, redeem and manage the cash reserves themselves back in USD one instead of relying on external third party custodians like bedgoat. That's it. It's good biz, Joey. If you cut out the middleman, you create more vertical integration yourself and boom, right? I can't argue with that. That's good biz. I guess. The institution operates strictly as a trust bank rather than a traditional consumer bank. It does not issue standard customer loans or hold ordinary retail bank deposits because that would require them to work with some normal people, which, you know, that's not a part of his base at all, right? No. No. I don't know who tells him him being Donald Trump. That it's a good idea to do this stuff. Or maybe he just genuinely doesn't give a fuck and wants to continue playing opposite day and rubbing it in your face and, you know, I take that one now. Yeah, right? And behaving like what appears to be a very, very big Trojan horse, whatever it is, if there is someone who's advising him to do these things and telling him that it looks good, allow us to be the realm of common sense here and say, stop. None of this looks good. This doesn't require tinfoil hot to at least a certain level here for sure. This is just a bad look. It's profiting. In my opinion, profiting off the presidency, his whole thing that he said when he came out in 2015, at first it was, I'm totally self-fund in my campaign. I'm not doing this. So, you know, I could just go back to be a billionaire, which was fair. And then he got an office. He said, I'm not taking whatever it is. The $400,000 salary, the president gets or whatever. And I'm removing myself from my businesses. Okay. Cool. But now we're in term too. And his family's, we've already laid out a bunch of his family's profiting off of weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks of it. You know, we'll keep going for it as we find more. And now he's just directly involved. I saw a data. Maybe we can pull it up, Trojan. If I didn't pull this up before. But that he just had like his most successful Donald Trump and his, in his publicly available financial disclosures had his most successful year ever or something last year. It's like, it just stinks, man. Like these are the same guys that even fairly so. We're calling out corruption with like Hunter Biden and the Biden's in selling out.
access and stuff like that, which by the way, they had a lot of evidence for that. I'm not arguing with that at all. But we're, you know, they're talking about $10 million and $20 million, which is a lot of money. But we're talking about things that are in the billions with these guys. You know, and I came up with a line the other day with Joby Warwick. We're gonna have another episode with him coming out on Tuesday. His fourth time on the podcast really, really enjoyed that. We're in great discussion, just recorded it. But, you know, I was like, the Biden administration was akin to someone turning the fucking water on and leaving the house for three weeks. The Trump administration is akin to someone bust in the fucking pipes and leaving the house for three weeks. They're both bad. They both waste water. One's doing it passively, one's doing it aggressively. At this point, I don't see any data from our respective power structures that end up in the White House that can show me otherwise. You are literally stuck with just bad choice and bad choice, which it's been that way objectively for a while in my opinion. I should say subjectively in my opinion there. That wouldn't make sense to say objectively, but it's been that way for a while. But goddamn, it's like that old sign. Our expectations were low, but fuck, holy fuck, man. Like this low. It's dumb. But at least we can all coalesce around something. - Yeah. - Yeah. We can all coalesce around the flock camera, sturdy. - Yeah, I guess so, huh? - You see Darth Vader, main appearance? - Yeah, Darth Vader was chilling. Can we pull that up? - What the fuck's that on? - That's who I want chilling, flock cams. That's a good brand. - That's a good brand. - That's good branding right there. I know you don't wanna agree with that, but you know it's true. - Yeah, I don't like it. - Get first link under flock right there. I hope I didn't fuck this one up, too. But Darth Vader showed up at a city council meeting and defended Garrett Langley and his fleet of, by the way, what did, forget, I already mentioned earlier his last name being symbolic, but like, what did this Stopian name flock? You know, like who did this? It's kind of perfect, but it's so the Stopian. Is that the, yeah, all right, let's full screen this. Get this for people. So this is Darth Vader at the Public Safety Committee. Coming up for a non-agenda public comment, I'm just reading the screen here, like Ron Burgundy. I don't know what that means. - Thank you, it's been a great day, love toll. Thank you, Darth Vader. - Oh my god, he said that's his name, too. - You call me, huh? - I don't need Darth Vader. (dark music) - The Emperor is a fan of flock and we must continue utilizing flock technologies so that we can follow and surveil the rebel scum as they move from playground to playground, from playground to pool, from pool to gymnasium because we all know that the flock cameras are not only following the license plate readers, they are following children, they are following children in parks and gymnasiums and we need this, I need this so I can stock my ex-girlfriend. - Thank you. (laughing) - Love a good bit. - That's awesome. - That's awesome. You see it, look, you are seeing a lot of people from a lot of political backgrounds, by the way. I'm seeing some, some unanimity on this who are upset about these things going up everywhere because it's now a visual. Like I said earlier, the phone creates this kind of illusion 'cause we're in it, we email on there, we text on there, we do everything, we're not actively thinking about it and we should be, we should be. But these things right out in public, very three-dimensional with a one-dimensional task. Look at you and God knows what happens after that. People have every right to be upset about this. They have every right to question all the money from an investment perspective that has flowed into these technologies into flock. We've seen the laundry list of that that includes Peter Teo, of course, 'cause he's always involved in this kind of stuff apparently. You know, people have a right to be angry about that. And now you're talking about, you see that right there, I have a link right there, that there is, there's even a disgust plan. It's from a leaked internal 2025 meeting. So this has not happened yet to be clear. But this is a discussion that has happened behind the scenes about converting ubers and lifts to license plate skin. Like to all my law enforcement guys out there, I say this because I've had a few conversations this week with some law enforcement guys who have reached out very classily, by the way. I haven't had anything nasty. We've had some nice back-and-force who have reached on, and said, hey, these cameras are making my job easier, and I'm able to, we are able to prevent some crime and things like that. I said, hey guys, let me assume, 'cause I don't know any of these people, they're all just reaching out, they could be horrible guys, they could be great guys. I wanna assume they're great guys. I'm like, all right, let me assume you're a great guy who takes his job seriously and really does want to stop crime and prevent it and help people. That's awesome. When you create the precedent to be able to do this, you are also creating the precedent for the bad guy holding your same badge that you don't know about, the rotten apple, if you will, to do the same thing. This is called human nature, is the definition of a slippery slope. It is exactly what our founders warned about. And so it has disappointed me when guys who are in law enforcement who are paid to uphold the law, based upon people's constitutional rights, cannot see the irony of preventing crime by violating potentially, or I should say, let me be fair, opening up the door for the violation of people's constitutional rights in order for that to happen. That's not supposed to be how it works. And whenever I've said to these guy, like one line, I've given these guys as they're like, what's your big issue with the flock thing? And I say, I've read the book 1984. And again, let's not be a hypocrite, let's not ignore these phones. These phones are an issue, but in public spaces, against your will, all these things going up, we've played the chart a few weeks ago, how correlated they are with January 20th, 25th, when Donald Trump came in and his first day, the next day in office, he's doing a press conference with Larry Ellison and fucking Sam Altman about the AI state. Like we've been seeing these bars. And by another thing, people are talking about, what are you gonna do about companies like Axon, which we have already, yes we will. I talked to someone this week about that a little bit as well. And at some point, we're gonna do a podcast and I'm sure that's gonna come up. Flock is just the symbol. There are a lot of other companies that are looking to do this. And would love to see Flock unseeded. So they could come in there and say, no, no, no, we're doing it the right way. I actually, I didn't tell you this, Joey, Dave. I got an email the other day. I won't say the name of the company, but I got an email from a company that does the same thing Flock does asking to come on the show because they're like, yeah, no, so happy you're going after Flock. We're gonna do this constitutional way. I'd looked into it for about five minutes and I'm like, yeah, that's nothing to know. It's just, it's laughable. And this company, it also does, it's a joke company like they're not gonna make it. I'll just put it that way. But, you know, you see this stuff happening and you have a right to ask questions. And again, optics, the worst people you know are the ones who love this. You got that video of Barry Weiss down there? Let's pull that up. So Barry Weiss owner of the Free Press very fairly bought for around $200 million because all her fucking 500 views per video on YouTube were certainly worth that who's now also somehow in charge of CBS and running that fucking place into the ground. Barry Weiss, his key issue is Israel, that's our own admission. That's our number one issue on everything. Barry Weiss purchased by Larry Ellison to come do all these things and you know, have a tutorial over CBS and run the Free Press and you know, get that $200 million, which is nothing to him for the rights of the Free Press to bring her into the operation. Barry Weiss, of course, drew the Free Press loves flock and she wants to use her publications and her media outlets to make sure you know, let's run this video, Joey Thief. - Do you ever feel like listening to us? - That's the panic behind a new fear sweeping across America. - People are freaked out. - Get a good looking woman, you know, tell you it's gonna be okay, it's gonna be all right. I look good, you look good. Maybe we can get out of here, get some dinner. Listen about these flak camps, go ahead. - Out about surveillance. From our employers, our nanny camps, and our phones watching our every move. And right now, this anxiety is being taken out of electric saws and hands of spray paint on tools used by law enforcement to keep us all safe. The target? - Keep us all safe. - Flock safety cameras. In upstate New York, someone cut down the flock safety camera with an electric saw. In Oakland, California, another was covered in paint and in Idaho, someone rammed one with their truck. And in good old Florida, a man just sits this lawn share with the community.
or held up for the right guy hold on let's get that on the screen not go back a little bit not all heroes where capes bro look at this motherfucker this is down in Florida i don't know this guy's name i see a little tag down there at the bottom i don't know if it's an associated account it says at harbor honey underscore i guess that's on x this dude is pulling up a fucking a fucking black screen sitting in his lawn chair to block the camera from seeing everything that's a goddamn american right there and that is the best of what a florida man has to offer so well done sir all right let's keep it going the less since a january or roughly 23 cities have canceled their quad drives we're shut off their block camera over for the men in the service there's even an open source intelligence i'll say take fuck that's fuck she's reading the script i mean not that we didn't know that already but they fucked up that one right there she was literally reading the fucking board at the side before that cut go ahead finding these cameras so people know exactly where to vandalize that go back on that i'm sorry there's so many things here jody if i'm making new work my bet go back to that map real quick it's a real blind spot on the upper west side there no yeah upper east got it that for east has a little but upper west there's a little bit under darkness up there they need to hear that they deserve but not the one they need right now they got some of jersey city too i don't see any in Hoboken we're looking okay right now that's good exactly where to vandalize them you're supposed to actually unvertile in 2025 alone the system help will eat 10,000 missing ways about 27 people a day or about one every hour over 40 percent that's what they do they hide positives up front that is what you call the outside of the Trojan horse to convince you that this gift is a parting offer of peace when in reality they're going to come out kill your fucking families raise your wives and sack the whole city anyway let's continue agency set flock of recover over half of the stolen vehicles in their jurisdiction an indiana and infant abducted a shopping center with all the hit you with the infant in ohio it was even had to go inside for that and she went inside and she's like let me sit down because this is going to get nuts and she's and she's doing it she's doing the leg cross the sexy leg cross i let's say i appreciate the marketing efforts here i see optically what you're trying to do and girl was located in under 30 minutes and this is the tool that people are treating like the enemy it is fair to have concerns by how companies use the truck data but that's not what these cameras are for to be blunt they're not interested in you unless you're gonna knapper a thief or someone who intends to do harm that's right they're never gonna be interested in you they're never gonna be potentially i don't know taking control of by government forces bureaucracy to maybe install a little central bank and digital currency and for real say they're not that it's never gonna happen and in fact George Orwell was a fraud there's nothing he wrote that ever predicted any trends or patterns that could ever happen in society in fact i think all his books are rags they have they have no joy deep you're the literary guy they have absolutely no symbolism that we should ever pay attention to and in fact we should just mock him for being a complete total right yeah why would i listen to a guy who ate chocolate bars to get by that's right why would you listen i didn't even know that about him but obviously i'm he had to he went down a rough times i'm being quite sarcastic there George Orwell certainly was cooking he was certainly cooking ahead of his time and and you know i got to say give Orwell a little shout out when i was a kid some of those books like you would think like when you're in eighth grade reading it you don't get it and you don't get it all the way because you're still 13 14 years old but like he wrote it in such a way that even before i understood how a lot of the world worked and systems and stuff like that i got it to an extent i got it more when i was older but like even back then i got it and i remember friends of mine who also had to read the same books in school certainly a lot of us were using spark notes just bomb i'm not gonna lie about that but like we all got it we got it we got it so shout out George Orwell but Joey Deef thank you for running through the board once again my friend we've done 29 of these now you fucking killing it everyone give their give their love to Joey Deef follow him at Joey Deef on Instagram and at token alone on x those links are down below he's actually like low key a great follow on both but on x there's some some flames flying that's a good little secret account that's happening over there so let's like make it less of a secret but other than that everyone else you know what it is

Podcast Summary
Key Points:
Henry Abbott speculates that the $12.5 billion sale of the Los Angeles Lakers to Joshua Kushner and Bob Eiger is funded by hidden sovereign wealth funds, particularly Mubadala Capital from Abu Dhabi, rather than the individuals' personal wealth.
Bob Eiger’s reported $600 million net worth and Joshua Kushner’s $5 billion make it financially implausible that they could fund such a purchase independently, suggesting a deeper financial mechanism is at play.
Mark Walter, the original owner, is under federal investigation for tax fraud and has a history of major financial dealings, including a $10 billion syndicated investment with Mubadala Capital, which may tie into the Lakers transaction.
Strategic connections emerge between Mubadala, Gulf states, and entities like Databricks and NSO Group, indicating a broader pattern of surveillance technology investments linked to geopolitical influence.
Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged efforts to build Middle East-Israel ties through cryptocurrency and surveillance networks are tied to figures like Jared and Joshua Kushner, who visited Saudi Arabia in 2017.
A "Thrive Eternal" investment fund linked to Joshua Kushner raised $10 billion quietly, with no SEC filings, raising concerns about transparency and potential shell structures hiding sovereign wealth.
The article suggests a coordinated global surveillance ecosystem involving Gulf states, China, Israel, and private tech firms, all potentially linked through investments in AI and spyware.
The Penn State cocaine scandal involving a student-run operation and fraternity-based supply chains highlights a broader issue of institutional accountability and the misuse of student networks for illicit activities.
Summary:
5 billion sale of the Los Angeles Lakers to Joshua Kushner and Bob Eiger. Henry Abbott argues this transaction is not a simple private purchase but likely funded through opaque mechanisms involving Mubadala Capital, a sovereign wealth fund from Abu Dhabi. This ties into broader geopolitical trends where Gulf states invest in surveillance technology—such as facial recognition via Databricks and NSO Group—often linked to influence in the Middle East.
These investments connect directly to figures like Jeffrey Epstein, whose alleged efforts to build alliances between Gulf monarchies and Israel are tied to high-level visits by Kushner family members to Saudi Arabia. The financial speculation is further undermined by the lack of transparency: a "Thrive Eternal" fund raised $10 billion without SEC disclosure, suggesting hidden structures. Parallel to this, a major scandal at Penn State reveals a student-run cocaine operation using fraternity pledges for supply and distribution, reflecting deeper issues of institutional oversight and exploitation.
The podcast concludes by emphasizing that while much of this remains speculative, the patterns suggest a coordinated, multinational surveillance and financial ecosystem operating behind the scenes. It also highlights the risks of public surveillance, especially through unconsented cameras and tech like Pegasus, drawing parallels to authoritarian systems in China and the Middle East. Ultimately, the episode calls for greater scrutiny of financial transparency, corporate power, and the intersection of private enterprise and state influence.

The Lakers are reportedly being sold to Joshua Kushner and Bob Eiger for $12.5 billion. The controversy arises because Bob Eiger is estimated to be worth only $600 million, and Joshua Kushner around $5 billion, making it unlikely they could fund such a purchase. Critics speculate that the money may come from Mark Walter, who is under federal investigation for tax fraud and who previously had a $10 billion deal with Mubadala Capital, a sovereign wealth fund linked to Abu Dhabi.
Henry Abbott speculates that the Lakers sale is not a direct purchase by Kushner and Eiger, but rather a financial maneuver involving Mark Walter's debts. He suggests the money may originate from Mubadala Capital, a sovereign wealth fund from Abu Dhabi, which has deep ties to surveillance technology and political influence in the Middle East, raising questions about hidden financial connections and potential backdoor deals.
Jeffrey Epstein is alleged to have coordinated with Gulf leaders, including Saudi Arabia and UAE, to build political and economic ties through cryptocurrency and surveillance. David Stern, a financial figure, reported direct contact with Mubadala’s chairman, Mbz, and Epstein’s efforts are said to have influenced the Kushner family’s investments in tech and surveillance, linking them to broader geopolitical strategies.
Thrive Eternal, a venture capital entity linked to Joshua Kushner, was reportedly formed to channel investments into the Lakers deal. It has no SEC filings, suggesting possible lack of transparency. Henry Abbott notes that Thrive Eternal is also linked to investments in Databricks, a company used for real-time surveillance, raising concerns about a broader strategy involving data control and AI.

These investments signal a growing global network of surveillance technology, used to monitor populations and exert political influence, which ties into broader concerns about privacy and government overreach.
