Vitaly Churkin

...

Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Barak, and Russian UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin.

What a great combination of people.

They were all meeting, this is two months before the Podesta emails were released.

... play a role in Trump, you know, essentially using Russian information to steal that election? Yes, he apparently did, [laughs] from the, from these emails.

You've got the Russians hack the DNC servers, get these emails.

You've got Vitaly Churkin, high-ranking ambassador-

Mm-hmm

Yeah, and who

worked there for the KGB? No, who? My former colleague, when I was a diplomat, a fine diplomat on the UN Security Council in New York, the later Russian ambassador to the UN in New York, Vitaly Churkin, that mysteriously died two weeks after Epstein was arrested.

Oh, yeah.

So Churkin organized Trump's trip in 1987.

What makes Ambassador Power especially interesting to me is that she has seen these issues from every angle.

She began as an outsider, one of the country's most articulate voices on human rights and international aid, challenging policymakers to do more.

Then she became an insider, serving in two key roles within the Obama administration, first in the White House, working on the National Security Council, and later as the US ambassador to the United Nations, where she negotiated crises involving Syria, Russia, Ukraine, Ebola, and the global refugee crisis.

She then became the administrator of USAID, leading America's premier development agency until twenty twenty-five, when Elon Musk and DOGE effectively shut the organization down.

Since then, she's become one of the organization's strongest defenders, arguing that development isn't simply humanitarian work, it's a vital form of American soft power and an important pillar of national security.

You know, it, it, on purpose keeps itself insulated from, from the world, and that's a good thing.

There's lots that's good about it.

But as often as I could, whether when I was UN ambassador, USAID administrator, when I was in that original role as President Obama's human rights advisor, just if I [laughs] get out to the places and just talk to, to people and I almost inevitably came back with ideas and also I guess you could say maybe a little more credibility, not about me personally, but the information that I'm able to convey and inject into deliberations has an authenticity in the sense that it, it comes almost from the horse's mouth as it, as it were.

It's Israel.

Like, you can't discuss this without looking at Kushner and his father's lifelong connections, uh, to Netanyahu, which also are, you know, Trump's lifelong connections, uh, to Netanyahu, when Netanyahu was working, uh, you know, as the UN ambassador, living in New York, developing deep relationships with the Trump family, with, uh, you know, the Kushner family, staying at the Kushner's home.

Uh, you know, these are very deep, uh, decades-long ties, and Kushner was never out of the fold.

The press stopped covering him as extensively during the Biden administration, even though he had a long list of, you know, crimes or, you know, accusations of crimes that he should have had to answer for, uh, whether kleptocratic or, you know, the killing of Jamal Khashoggi.

I mean, there's just a very long list here.

At that time, uh, Kushner and others, including other former Trump officials like Steve Mnuchin, uh, you know, Friedman, uh, the former ambassador to Israel, they were off, uh, you know, meeting with, uh, Mossad, meeting with Netanyahu, and this is while the Biden administration was in power, um, and, and should, and had its own representatives over there.

But there is a shadow government f-from the Trump group working in the background.

And now, you know, one of the key things to understand is that they view this as one war.

And, you know, the people that coordinated that trip were the KGB.

He was recruited and the trip was organized by this guy named Vitaly Churkin, who was the ambassador that Jeffrey Epstein felt compelled to introduce to Peter Thiel in 2016.

Vitaly Churkin died a day short of his 65th birthday in like 2019, I want to say.

And You know, like, there's just no doubt that, you know, the KGB, Russian intelligence services, had a long-term interest in Donald Trump.

That's just a fact.
