[00:00] Hi everybody, John Kyaku here. Welcome back to the briefing room. It's unusual for us to break news, news that has never been reported anywhere else, but that's exactly what we're going to do today. I'm back here in the States. We are getting ready to uh enter September, which is traditionally the start of the new uh election cycle. We have midterm elections coming up in November. campaigning is well underway, but there's kind of a a side issue that
[00:31] I wanted to tell you about. And as I said, this is real news and we're breaking it. You've all heard of Milo Yiannopoulos. Milo Yiannopoulos is the British far-right political provocator who was arrested and deported by ICE uh this past week. Milo Yiannopoulos was here on a uh on a short-term work visa. That visa expired and he never bothered to leave like he owned the place. Well,
[01:02] the Department of Homeland Security scooped him up and put him on a plane and sent him back to uh to the UK. He is now permanently banned from the United States. My Leonopoulos is known for his provocative statements, his ideas that any press is good press, his violent opposition to Islam, to feminism, to social justice. Maybe it's not violent. His language can be violent. Well, here's the breaking news.
[01:35] Milo Yiannopoulos in 2020 was a senior adviser on the Kanye West for president committee. You might not even remember that Kanye West ran for president in 2020 for a minute. He spent his own money, several million dollars according to the Federal Election Commission. And one of his top advisers was none other than Milo Yiannopoulos. Well, guess what? It is illegal. It is a felony violation of federal
[02:06] election law for a foreign national to have any senior role at all in any federal campaign. Indeed, in any campaign, in this case, federal campaign. It is also illegal for a campaign to pay a foreign national for anything. Well, we want to show you something. We want to show you an actual original
[02:37] invoice from Milo Yiannopoulos with his cheetah pattern name up there, his home address, his office phone number, and his private email address that we're blowing blurring out for his privacy. This is invoice number 01342 dated December 1st, 2022. It was sent to the Kanye 2020 campaign committee and it is for $116,000
[03:10] of what is called consultancy 2020 campaign wrap-up indicating that there was a lot more money that moved from the Kanye 2020 committee into Milo Yiannopoulos's pockets. This is a felony. It is punishable by up to 5 years in a federal prison. So Milo Yiannopoulos got off easy. Sure, he had to fly coach
[03:42] on that 7-hour flight to London, and I'm sure he's not used to flying coach, but he's a criminal, and he overstayed his visa, and now we're finally rid of him. I would have preferred that he be prosecuted for his felony, what appears to be his felony violation of American election law. But there you have it. I want to show you actually the law. JB,
[04:14] if we could bring that up. This is according to Cornell Law School. It shall be unlawful for a foreign national directly or indirectly to make a contribution, to make a donation, or to receive an expenditure. Section 30104, paragraph F, section 3, 5 years in prison. You got off easy, Milo. Don't do it again.
[04:44] There's big news uh or there was big news over the most recent weekend too related to 9/11. We're we're coming up on the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. You know, I say this all the time. I'm going to repeat it. In my mind, the 9/11 attacks are still so fresh, so raw. It's like they happened a couple of weeks ago. That's how much it's still in the forefront of my mind. Somehow nearly a quarter century later now, the United States still has not
[05:18] completed the trial of the man accused of masterminding the 9/11 attacks, Khaled Shake Muhammad. I can tell you a lot about Khalid Shake Muhammad and I will in a moment. The more important thing right now is that there is just been a major development in this case. A military judge has thrown out what may be one of the most important pieces of evidence against KSM, his confession.
[05:49] Why? Because the CIA tortured him. Because the CIA waterboarded him 183 times. He confessed in the most minute details how he conceived of the attacks, how he planned the attacks, and how he worked with Osama bin Laden and others to implement the attacks. And now literally none of that can be used against him.
[06:23] His torture was a crime committed by the CIA. And listen, I hate KSM as much as the next guy. I'm personally opposed to the death penalty except in this case. I think the world would be better off without Khaled Shake Muhammad a part of it, breathing the same air that the rest of us breathe. But he'll never be executed. The CIA's decision to torture KSM and
[06:55] others has literally saved his life. And the families of the 911 victims have the CIA to blame for the situation that we're in right now. So, who is KSM? I'll tell you a little bit of a background story. We had never heard the name Khaled Shik Muhammad on or immediately after 9/11. Never heard the name. We knew that there
[07:26] was a very bad man out there who went by the Numare Mtar. Mu kh a r mktar. And we knew that Mkhtar was involved in something called the Bojinka plot. The Bojinka plot was a planned terrorist attack to originate in Manila in the Philippines whereby this MTAR was going to engineer the hijacking of as many as
[07:56] 14 747 jumbo jets and fly them into buildings all the way up and down the west coast of the United States. That was in 1996. Mhtar had his terrorist plans laid out on a dining room table in an apartment in Manila and then he got hungry so he left the apartment and went out to have lunch. In the meantime, the cleaning lady shows up to clean the apartment. He apparently
[08:28] wasn't expecting her to show up. Who knows? Maybe it wasn't the regular day or the regular time. Who knows? She's cleaning the apartment. She sees these plans on the dining room table and she says, "These look like plans for a terrorist attack." And so she calls the Manila police. The police arrive, they look at this and they say, "This looks like plans for a terrorist attack." And they call the Philippines intelligence service. The intelligence service shows
[08:59] up and says, "Oh, these are the plans for a terrorist attack." And they call the CIA. By then, Mkhtar has absconded. He's gone underground. He's in hiding, and he escapes from the Philippines, but we never knew his real name. Fast forward to March of 2002, and I lead a series of raids that results in the capture of Abu Zuba, Zay Alabadin Muhammad Hussein in Fisalabad, Pakistan. We believed wrongly at the
[09:30] time that Abu Zuba was the number three in al-Qaeda. He was not the number three. He was a very bad guy, but he was not the number three in al-Qaeda and he had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. As part of his interrogation, FBI agent Ali Sufan asked him about 9/11 and he said, "We know that somebody involved in the 9/11 attacks was named Mkhtar, but we don't know who that is." Abu Zuba laughed at him and said, "The
[10:02] FBI doesn't know who Mkhtar is." And Ali said, "No, we don't know who he is." And Abu Zuba said, "His name is Khaled Sheh Muhammad." As soon as Ali Sufan received that name from Abu Zuba, the hunt was on. And on March 1st, 2003, a team of CIA counterterrorism officers broke down the door of an al-Qaeda safe house in Rahul Pindi, Pakistan, and captured Khalik Muhammad. He was almost
[10:35] immediately flown to a secret prison, the first of five or six secret prisons where he was tortured mercilessly at the orders of the CIA's leadership. and he confessed in minute detail to planning and carrying out the 9/11 attacks. Let me be crystal clear on this. Khaled Shik Muhammad did 9/11. He did it and he's confessed to doing
[11:05] it, but he confessed under torture. And so literally everything he said is being thrown out and cannot be used against him in this military tribunal. Listen, Khalik Muhammad is never going to be released from Guantanamo. He's in a what amounts to a a legal no man's land. He'll never be released, but he'll never be executed for his crime. He'll probably never even go on trial. I'll believe the trial when I see it. I
[11:37] think he probably won't go on trial because the CIA tortured him. The CIA broke the law and the CIA ensured that the worst terrorist in modern American history will never be held accountable for his crimes. Khalik Muhammad murdered 3,000 Americans on one morning. But thanks to the likes of former CIA
[12:08] director George Tennant, former CIA deputy director John McLaclin, former deputy directors for operations Jim Pavitt and Jose Rodriguez, former directors of counterterrorism Jose Rodriguez and Kofheer Black. He will never be held to account for the murder of 3,000 Americans in one single morning. Khalik
[12:38] Muhammad is a very bad man who I said doesn't deserve to breathe the same air that we breathe, but he will continue to breathe that air. And it's all the CIA's fault. High prices are here to stay. gas, groceries, insurance. If you're a homeowner, you've probably thought, "Should I refinance to pay off this credit card debt? Then you second guess yourself because of that low mortgage rate that you currently have." Well, listen, that low rate, it's
[13:10] not saving you if you're drowning in credit card interest at 25% or more. That's the math that nobody wants to face, but it's costing you thousands of dollars. Here's the truth. If you're only making minimum payments, that debt will follow you for years. That's why people are calling American Financing because they're saving customers an average of $800 a month by using their equity to finally break free from credit card debt. You owe it to your family to see what's possible. No upfront fees, no
[13:43] pressure. It costs you nothing to find out what you could save every month. And if you start today, you may be able to delay two mortgage payments. So call American Financing 866721-3300. That's 866721-3300 or go to americanfinancing.net/briefing room. So as I said, Khalik Muhammad was captured in Rahul Pindi, Pakistan on
[14:15] March 1st, 2003. He was then disappeared into this network of CIA secret prisons overseas that we've talked about now for years. He was subjected to the most harsh, the most extreme so-called enhanced interrogation techniques used in George W. Bush's global war on terror. He was kept in communicado for now more than two decades. He was deprived of sleep. He was subjected to prolonged isolation. Most famously, he was waterboarded, as I said, 187 times.
[14:48] He was brutally interrogated by the CIA in these overseas prisons after his capture. He was taken finally to Guantanamo in 2006. Prosecutors excluded statements from those interrogations, right, which included uh almost 200 uh rounds of waterboarding. But the trial judge now, Lieutenant Colonel Michael Shramma, went even further, concluding that KSM's subsequent interrogations
[15:20] at Guantanamo in 2007 are also inadmissible. The judge also found that FBI agents intentionally failed to explicitly tell KSM that he had a right to remain silent. that he had a right to consult an attorney and that what he told them could be used against him at trial. Without the confessions, prosecutors would need to rely on documents, on
[15:51] telephone intercepts, and transcripts of other conversations to put him on trial. But some of those are also being challenged. Let me add too, and I hope you don't mind if I digress. One of my dearest friends is an attorney named Jesselin Raak. Jess used to be the director of ethics at the Justice Department while all of this was happening. Jesseline happened to be on weekend duty
[16:22] at the Justice Department on November 30th and December 1st, 2001 when John Walker Lind, the so-called American Taliban, which is grammatically incorrect. He should be the American Talib, but anyway, it's a different issue, uh, was captured at the Dash Deilelei Fort in northern Afghanistan. The FBI agents that were on site called the Justice Department for advice
[16:53] immediately. And Jesseline said something that was 100% crystal clear and correct. You have to read him his rights. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney, etc., etc. We all know what these rights are. We all watch TV. We've all watched Law and Order or CSI or Dragnet or whatever and the FBI didn't read him his rights.
[17:25] Well, you might recall from 2002 that the Justice Department wanted to execute John Walker Lind. They didn't. He ended up taking a plea for 20 years. 20 years is a long time, but he did the full 20 and he's out walking the streets living in California. So why why did he get what amounted to a war on terror sweetheart deal rather than execution? Because they didn't read him his rights.
[17:59] It cost them. That expediency cost them. They didn't read him his rights. So they had to give him 20 years instead of life without parole or the death penalty. What happened to Jesseline Raak? She was fired from the Justice Department. She was put on the nofly list and the Justice Department made a complaint to the Washington DC bar association to have her law license revoked.
[18:30] She's still harassed every day and every time she tries to get on an airplane. But the Justice Department and the FBI and the CIA for that matter didn't learn the lesson of John Walker Lind because they did exactly the same thing a year and a half later with Khaled Shake Muhammad. And now here we are 25 years after 9/11 and the worst terrorist in modern American history
[19:01] is going to escape with his life. During the Biden administration, there were negotiations deeply underway with KSM and his legal representation at Guantanamo. and a deal was made that he would plead guilty to terrorism, to 3,000 counts of murder, etc., etc., etc., and he would be given life without parole. Well, he's already got life without parole. But the one thing he was really asking
[19:32] for was that he really, really doesn't want to be transferred to the Supermax Prison in Florence, Colorado. Why? Cuz it's cold there. He wants to stay in Guantanamo cuz the weather's better. and he can play soccer and he can walk around his cage and get some exercise and they have palm trees and you can see the beach in the distance. Why would he want to go to Supermax in Colorado where he actually belongs?
[20:05] Well, he's probably going to get what he wants because none of this information can be used against him. The actual case itself has been going on since 2012. Now, without these confessions, prosecutors going to need to rely on these documents that are also at issue. The thing's been dragging on for 13 years. There's been no closure. And with the sheer number, the the volume, the amount of human rights violations committed by the
[20:35] United States at Guantanamo and in the CIA secret prisons. It's going to be years before this trial even begins, if there ever actually is a trial. Defense lawyers had argued that KSM was essentially conditioned by the CIA through torture. I think that's probably true. Couple that with years of isolation, years of solitary confinement, to later tell FBI agents what they wanted to hear. He was not allowed to
[21:07] consult a lawyer for years until long after he had confessed and already been charged. KSM's lawyer is a man named Gary Seards and he said that the judge's decision quote serves as a civics lesson for why the government should not engage in such shameful conduct unquote. He is absolutely correct. I can tell you from my own experience of almost 15 years at the CIA, there are a
[21:39] lot of cowboys. All these little guys, little tiny guys like like Jose Rodriguez, walk around like they're Joe Tough Guy and they're going to crack heads and they're going to put bullets in people's brains and they're going to set up secret prisons and they're going to waterboard sometimes to death. Well, you know what? Those cowboy decisions have a consequence and they
[22:09] come back to bite you. Now, Joseé Rodriguez and the likes of Joseé Rodriguez are never going to face justice ever. Barack Obama ensured that when he said, "We would look forward, not backward." Which translates into common English as we're going to let people get away with these heinous crimes because I don't feel like dealing with it. And because my godfather, uh, John Brennan told me to let these guys all go scot-free. Because, of course, John Brennan was also involved in the torture program. the see the fix is in
[22:41] and it doesn't matter if there's a Democrat in the White House or a Republican in the White House. So the fix was in from the beginning. But the lesson here is that these little men at the CIA need to follow the law just like everybody else does because they have done they have done a disservice to the American people of historic proportions. The most heinous criminals in American, modern American history
[23:13] are just going to live out their lives eating mangoes and papayas, looking at the beach and the coconut palms in the distance. Thanks to the likes of George Tennant, John McLaclin, Jose Rodriguez, Kofer Black, and others like them. I want to add something to and it's about the issue of interrogation at the CIA.
[23:45] We were never ever trained in interrogation. I remember when I caught my first al-Qaeda prisoner. It was actually two prisoners. We caught them together. I was only in Pakistan for a week or two when we we did this raid. We caught these two kids. They were 18. 19 years old is what they were. 19. Both burst into tears. One asks me if he can call his mom. I said, "No, you can't call your mom. You're you're terrorist. You're a prisoner now." [snorts] But I cabled headquarters. I said, "What
[24:15] do I do?" They said, "I interrogate him." I said, "I I've never been trained in interrogations. I don't know what to do." Now, there's a difference between between an interrogation and an interview. And so I interviewed them and then I just wrote a cable reporting back what they what they said. The FBI is highly trained in interrogation. The FBI has been interrogating prisoners, formally interrogating prisoners since 1945.
[24:46] They're good at it. They know what they're doing. Now, the CIA method of interrogation, at least in the immediate post 911 period, was to bust people in the chops, crack their skulls with a club, waterboard them, chain them to eyebolts in the ceilings, strip them naked, chill the the cell to 50° Fahrenheit, throw ice water on them, in some cases, murder them. and actually many cases murder them then just dig a
[25:16] ditch behind the interrogation building and put them in the ditch at the FBI they would treat them with respect. Now, that that kind of hurts in your gut when you're doing that, but over a period of time, these very bad men will open up and they'll give you actionable intelligence that saves American lives and prevents future terrorist attacks. We saw it with Abu
[25:47] Zuba. We saw it with other al-Qaeda prisoners that the FBI was allowed to interrogate. I'm not saying that everybody in the FBI is, you know, Joe American Hero. That's, believe me, that's not at all what I'm saying. There are a lot of real losers and problems at the FBI just like they are there are at the CIA, just like there are anywhere, right?
[26:18] Actually, on a on a personal note, I want to show you something that I received. Oh, eight months ago, nine months ago from an FBI agent who was involved in my arrest. I was arrested in January of 2012 and charged with five felonies, including three counts of espionage. I faced 45 years in prison for blowing the whistle on the CIA's torture program. In the two
[26:49] or three years after I took a plea to a lesser charge, two FBI agents reached out to two of my attorneys and asked the attorneys to tell me that they apologized for their role in the case against me. That was kind of cold comfort because I was in prison when this apology took place. But then eight or nine months ago, I received a direct message through eBay of all things. JB, can we put that on the screen? I
[27:21] received this email message through eBay. Um, first it said, "Are you John K the whistleblower?" And I said, "Yes, I am." And then I got this message and he says, "Oh, great. It's nice to finally speak with you. I've been watching your YouTube interviews and love all the content and I've been wanting to reach out to you for many years. I'm another one of the FBI agents who would like to personally apologize to you for the disgraceful way the FBI
[27:51] and our government treated you. I worked with both headquarters and the Washington field office team on that case and know many of the personnel you're familiar with. That case was directed and driven by senior officials. Many mid-level and street personnel were against it, but nevertheless followed orders. Anyway, I've always felt bad about that case and for you and for the way you were treated, and I wanted to personally apologize to you. I appreciated that message very, very
[28:22] much. It means a lot to me. It doesn't erase two years in prison, the loss of my family, my livelihood, my pension, my freedom. But it was a nice gesture. What if the way money works is about to change? Not someday, not hypothetically, but right now. China and the United States are both making moves that suggest we could be heading towards something the world
[28:53] hasn't seen in more than 50 years. A return to goldbacked money or something very close to it. China is shutting down paper gold trading at four of its biggest banks all on the same day. And they're building a new system that settles in physical gold instead. On our side, the government is sitting on more than 8,000 tons of gold still valued at just $42 an ounce on the books. Legislation to fix that is already in Congress. If both superpowers start
[29:25] anchoring their currencies to gold, what happens to the price? And more importantly, what happens to every dollar in your retirement that isn't backed by anything at all? Well, that is the question. a free report from American Alternative Assets Answers. It's called The Day Money Changes Forever. And if you have an IRA or a 401k, you need to read it right now. Get your copy at johnlovesgold.com. That's johnlovesgold.com
[29:56] or call 888G053. Speaking of the FBI, I want to show you a headline that just appeared on CBS News. And I want to talk about this headline. We live in the Twilight Zone. Look at this headline. At the FBI, a history of hiring prostitutes or stealing from your employer may no longer be a barrier to being hired.
[30:28] Can you imagine? Can you imagine how Jay Ed Garoover must be spinning in his grave that you apply for a job at the FBI, you go in for your interview or your polygraph and they say, "Listen, uh, do you have any criminal uh criminal behavior in your in your past?" You say, "Yeah, yeah, I hire uh prostitutes all the time." So
[30:59] you see here that if you hire prostitutes, okay, that's a crime, but it's okay. More importantly, can you imagine applying for a job as an FBI agent? You go for the interview and they say, "Hey, have you committed any crimes?" And you say, "Yeah, I've been embezzling money from my employer for years." And they're like, "No, that's okay. That's all right." when it's your job as an FBI agent to be investigating people who embezzle money from their employers. Unbelievable. Well, there are
[31:31] a couple of caveats with this. Um, this article at CBS says that of course the FBI previously had refused to hire job applicants if they admitted pretty much to any crime, let alone to hiring sex workers or stealing from your employer. Today, those acts, which are mostly illegal across the country, unless you happen to live in Las Vegas, are are still illegal, but they're not automatically deal breakers anymore. So, these changes at
[32:01] the FBI actually took place in June, and the FBI didn't tell anybody about it. They've quietly lowered these standards for hiring new people. And multiple sources told CBS News that the reason why they're doing this is so many people have left the FBI through firings, through retirements, through resignations since the start of the Trump administration, they just don't have enough people. And so if you engage in what the FBI calls deviant sexual activities
[32:34] or if you're a serial, you know, embezzler, no problem. there's a home for you at the FBI. [gasps] They go on to say, "Now wait a minute." They say, "This is only if you've hired a prostitute three or more times, and it doesn't count if you hired a prostitute where prostitution's legal, like Las Vegas." It's like, "Okay, go ahead and parse your new rule as best
[33:05] you you would like." Folks, a few shows ago, I talked about Israel targeting me for my show, for this show. That targeting continues. Uh most recently in yesterday's Greek Press, uh that's a different issue. But more specifically, far right-wing bots are alleging, now I laugh because it's so preposterous, I can't help but laugh. They're alleging that I have been bought
[33:35] by the Turkish government. I am a paid agent. They are alleging of the Turkish government. Outrageous, ridiculous, 1,000% lie. But they're saying this because they were upset that I cited a Turkish source which said that an Israeli intelligence report was all BS, which it was. A lot of Israeli intelligence reports are BS because they serve only Israeli
[34:07] political goals. They did that as a warning shot to try to scare me into submission, into going silent. But no surprise, it has backfired spectacularly. People can smell BS from a mile away. And my channel received hundreds of thousands, millions more views than I would have received otherwise. My complaint that the Israelis were targeted were targeting me has received
[34:39] more than 10 million views. And it's putting more eyes than ever on the stories that I want to give voice to, like this one. Check this out. A few days ago, Israeli settlers attacked an NBC news crew while they were interviewing a Palestinian woman in the West Bank. Check out this clip. >> Yesterday, three journalists from NBC and a Palestinian woman they were interviewing were attacked by Israeli settlers in the Israeli occupied West
[35:09] Bank. As you can see in this brief video released by NBC, a gray car drove in reverse toward the journalist. A masked man with a stick leaned out of the window of the vehicle and other masked men hit the TV crew with sticks and rocks. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's government has often been accused of turning a blind eye to settler violence against Palestinians. But Netanyahu swiftly condemned yesterday's attackers, referring to them as rioters, and he called for an investigation.
[35:40] Earlier this year, crews from CNN and the AFP had similar incidents in the region. >> Worldwide, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 31 journalists and media workers have been killed thus far in 2026. >> Now, keep in mind this happened to an NBC News crew, but that report was from CBS News. CBS News is the news network that Barry Weiss is running. Barry Weiss
[36:11] is a very publicly avowed Zionist. She's strongly pro-Israel. But this behavior is too much even for Barry Weiss. It was so egregious that even Benjamin Netanyahu had to say, "Guys, you've gone too far." Even the most pro-Zionist American ambassador in American history, Mike Huckabe, made a public complaint. Keep in mind
[36:42] that almost all of these uh settlers are American citizens. Netanyahu in his statement called them criminals, rioters. He called them rioters. I call them terrorists because the point of their actions is to inflict terror on a civilian population. That is the internationally recognized definition of terrorism. No. Netanyahu told NBC News in what he
[37:12] called an apology that these were the actions of rogue settlers. He said that they were just a handful of riers and he vowed to bring them to justice. But then just a day later, Netanyahu said on an Israeli news show that he wanted to strengthen the settlement movement. The thing about Netanyahu is that he tells us what we want to hear in English, but then in Hebrew to Israeli
[37:43] audiences, he will say exactly the opposite. Listen to this. [applause]
[38:17] Yeah. What do we want? Settlement. What do they want? Settlement. 200 settlements. and he's calling for more expansion of settlements. He says one thing to to us in English, as I said, and then he'll say the truth when he thinks we're not listening. But think about it. In the West Bank, the IDF had to have known that this attack was going to take place. They had to know in advance. Why? Because you can't just be a camera crew just driving around the West Bank interviewing
[38:49] Palestinians. The Israel Defense Force are on the Palestinians like white on rice. They're everywhere. And there is no freedom of press. When you're in the West Bank, remember literally everything that every camera crew in Israel has to do is to send everything that they collect, everything that they film to Israeli military sensors. And the military sensors are attached to the IDF. And so the IDF was either there or
[39:20] very nearby. They knew that this attack was coming and they let it proceed anyway. Well, guess what? And I say this especially to my evangelical Christian friends here in the United States. It's not just Muslims that the Israelis are attacking, especially settlers are attacking. It's Christians as well. You may remember this clip from a few months ago. Take a look.
[39:53] A settler attacking a Catholic nun in cold blood. She slammed her head on the stones. And that wasn't enough. He went back and he kicked her in the gut. Well, guess what? This Israeli settler was found not guilty of assault in an Israeli court because it's not like they had video of
[40:24] the attack. Right? This is what Christians and Muslims are dealing with every single day. It's not just the Mossad. It's not just the IDF. It's these settlers. And most of these settlers are American citizens. I want to show you another clip. We've talked on the show several times about Idomar Bengavir. He is the
[40:54] Minister of National Security in uh in Israel. And he has a felony conviction for anti-Arab hate crimes in Israel. Can you imagine how violent and how anti-Muslim, anti-Christian you have to be to be convicted of a hate crime in Israel? Well, that conviction should have banned him from the United States. We have a
[41:24] rule. Many countries have this rule that if you've been convicted of a felony, you are not allowed in the United States. Well, guess who was on Capitol Hill last week? none other than Idimar Bengavir, but he met up with my friends at Code Pink. Check this out. >> You kill babies. You kill babies. You kill babies. You kill babies.
[41:57] >> You are warrior. >> You are a criminal. hatred. >> I need everybody. You are a racist. You're a criminal and you're hurting. You're hurting my religion. My religion AS A JEW, YOU ARE CREATING THE
[42:28] ANTI-SEMITISM. 911. >> I NEVER SUPPORTED 911, BUT YOU YOU'RE DESTROYING JUDAISM, >> baby extremes. We don't want you. Get out of OUR HOUSE. WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE. And you're destroying my religion. You're creating anti-semitism.
[42:58] Shame on you. I have a lot to say about this. First of all, God bless Medadia Benjamin and the angels of Code Pink who have the guts to go to Capitol Hill on a regular basis and stand up for the people who who don't have the ability to stand up for themselves. Number one. Number two, Idmar Bengavir should have been arrested when he got off the plane and turned over to stand in the dock at the Hague where he should be on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
[43:30] You know what? We've got we've got a picture I want to show you. It was Ben Gavir's uh birthday recently and his wife baked him a cake. And this is a very special kind of cake. It is to celebrate not just Bengavir's birthday, but also to celebrate the passage of a new law in Israel that brings back the death penalty. But only for Palestinians,
[44:01] Jews cannot be executed for committing murder. Only Palestinians can be executed for committing murder. And the cake that Immar Bengavir's wife baked for him to celebrate on his birthday has a noose on it. Check this out. Look how nice. Isn't that something you want to uh you want to tell your friends
[44:33] and family about that your wife baked you a big cake with a noose on it and everybody's celebrating like ho ho now we could murder even more people. My point number three, the confrontation that you just saw between Idomar Bengavir and and uh representatives of Code Pink led by Medadia Benjamin took place in the Dirkson Senate office building. I know because I worked in the Dirkson building for two and a half years when I was the senior investigator on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Idomar
[45:05] Bengir was getting into an elevator to go meet with a senator. I want to know which senators he met with because they should have their heads examined for meeting with a genocidal maniac like Idomar Bengavir. They should be called out. And I'm looking at you, Tom Cotton, Republican of Arkansas and chairman of the intelligence committee, who has an Israeli flag at the entrance to your office. An Israeli flag.
[45:36] Who do you represent, Tom Cotton? Folks, I'm exhausted, so I'm going to wrap this up. I want to [clears throat] say once again, thank you so much for joining us for another episode of brief of the briefing room. I would like to thank our producers John Ball and Victoria von Perz.
