Pepe Escobar

I think they're the toughest hombres on the planet.

I've listened to a number of people like Pepe Escobar who have interacted directly with the Houthis, talk about them, and they are really a formidable fighting force.

And just to pick up on what Aaron said, I find it quite remarkable, Aaron, that on July 13th, it was the Saudis who started this conflict up again.

It had been shut down in 2022.

Grandson of Nelson Mandela was with us.

Pepe Escobar was with us.

There's a lot of high level people there.

Mick Wallace and the other Irish Claire Daly was there, you know, two MEPs.

I wish we could find out which country it is.

I know a lot of, uh, our colleagues on the show are suggesting Israel, but one of them, uh, our friend, uh, Pepe Escobar, said he's pretty sure, uh, it's Azerbaijan.

Do most, um, diplomats, uh, accept as probably true that Benjamin Netanyahu knew from Jordan or Egypt or UAE or all three, uh, of the Hamas breakout from their open air concentration camp on October 7th, 2023?

I mean, the data overwhelmingly suggests this.

Uh, y- we, we, we see statements coming from, um, these various nations saying that, "We briefed Benjamin Netanyahu on, uh, on the threat," and that, um, you know, this, this, this, these briefings weren't acted on.

So I think it's...

Except now the, the friends of Israel, of course, will poo-poo this and, um, you know, the standard thing is, you know, "Well, well, 1,000 Jews were killed." Well, the fact is, uh, they didn't have to die.

Uh, Netanyahu could have stopped this by, you know, acting earlier.

Well-

Pepe Escobar claims that the polls are now showing Lula ahead.

Uh, I'm not seeing that.

I'd be shocked.

At 9:00 in the morning, Lieutenant Colonel Bill backstory.

At 10:00 in the morning, I don't know where he is, but we'll find him, Pepe Escobar.

At 3:00, at 2:00 in the afternoon, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson.

And at 3:00 in the afternoon, the golden boy, Max Blumenthal.

Okay.

Pepe Escobar and I had a good interview with General Opti Aladinov.

I'll be posting that later tonight as well.

And he just, he was very matter of fact.
