2:03:45 Then we'll divvy it all up again. We'll have another Paris 1919. I'll have another divvying up of the world and California will be the Middle East or something. I don't know what it's gonna. It's it's it's nutty. It's not good Meanwhile, let's just stick with Libya for a second. So I was flabbergasted literally flabbergasted by what crossed my television set earlier this week and I watched the Wolf Blitzers during the day and with the situation wrong. So Wolf Blitzer is just a pretty gray-haired fox, isn't he? Isn't that pretty, man?
2:04:21 And he, so you know they have, even though there's this huge war and everything, they've got Nick Robertson in Tripoli. Yeah, they just open communication all the time. They got, I'm just standing here. Nick Robertson by the way who used to be a satellite engineer. That's how he got started. Did you know that? No. Yeah, he got started as a satellite engineer during the first Gulf War working with Peter Arnett. He was probably the guy that set up some of those fake satellite things. He seems like it would be. For all I know, Nick Robertson is in the Bahamas. They never have an establishing shot. It's always just like with some like palm pine trees actually in the background. Have you noticed this?
2:05:02 No, but I'm gonna start looking and then sometimes you'd be like oh well We're speaking we just hear some gunfire you hear like nothing and then Wolf will always go yeah Turn up the microphone so we can hear the gunfire and like well. It's really heavy artillery fire You don't hear nothing so I am a man just bite shitty mics there at CNN anyway That's nothing to do with this clip so he has another like a guy on who's in Libya, and this is former congressman What's his name here? Kurt Weldon and I forgot to mention this on the last show, but Kurt Weldon went over to Libya He's like I'm gonna go over there. I'm gonna go fix everything like what so all of a sudden the former congressman
2:05:50 just decides to hop on over to Libya, which by the way is really easy to do apparently. John, you and I could go vacation there I think. Yeah, you want to go? I'd love to. Everyone seems to be just walking in and out, you know, in and out of the press compound, no problem whatsoever. You know, I'd love to see it. And he says the most astonishing things and Wolf Blitzer's actually questioning him. And it just blew me away listening to this. When was the last time you spoke with someone from the Obama administration about your mission? Well, I don't want to get into the details of what I did before I came, but... Right there, I'm like, my head whips around. CIA! My head whips around, like, what? I don't want to get into the de- And this is video, it sounds like audio, but it's video. ...is to say, as you've seen acknowledged in the press, I did reach out in an ongoing way with friends who have ties to both the State Department
2:06:42 and the White House and I did... CIA, yes? ...interact with friends in the Congress from both parties. Friends! I did not seek any endorsement for this trip. In fact, the first letter I received to invite me here was from the Deputy Foreign Minister and I said no, I'm not going to accept that. I said if I get a letter inviting me as a private citizen by someone like Bashir Saleh, then I would consider coming. I received that letter in both English Alright, so at this point I'm like, wait a minute. Why is he there?
2:07:32 Yeah, that's the first question I'd ask. Yeah, I'd say, what are you doing there? Is he there for the baths? The mud bath? Or is he there for the healthy waters? Is he there for some enema? I support President Obama in this effort. I support Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. And O'Biden. I think they are taking the right course. Hillary's statements yesterday. And notice that! Hillary's statements. What? You know, first he's talking about Secretary of State, then it's like, you know, hey Hillary, what Hillary said the other day. Like, that was a slip.
2:08:10 that is a big slip to say uh... hillary you know whatever hillary someone like bush or sala then i would consider coming i received that letter in both english and arabic in fact i've made available up to your network and that's why i'm here uh... i plan to provide that information when i get back as they being appropriate if they don't want my information fine i'm not here to make policy i'm not here uh... to disdain from the president's agenda i support President Obama in this effort. I support Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. I think they are taking the right course. Hillary's statements yesterday about what needs to be done here by Colonel Qaddafi, I support 100%.
2:08:52 I just want to clarify your specific role because some questions have come up about if you're involved in any business deals, have been involved in business deals with Libya over the years. You say you've had no financial relationship with Libya in any of your capacity since leaving the Congress. Is that right? Absolutely. I have not made one dime or I should say one dinar from Libya. I'm doing this because I know that no one's paying me as I did for 20 years as the vice chairman of the Armed Services Committee. Wired Magazine is has reported that your company defel defense solutions, a company you work for, did it one time here starts to unravel. I'm like, this is interesting. OK, defense solution. So Wolf was actually like he's like, but he's quoting Wired like deep into like deep journalism. Yes, the best they can do. Point proposed selling arms to Libya under Qaddafi. Is that right?
2:09:55 No, first of all I have no ties to Defense Solutions. I did some consulting work with that company as did General Barry McCaffrey and a couple of retired ambassadors. That company has not been in existence for Wired Magazine ought to become up to date because it's been basically non-existent for I think three or four years. did some brief consulting for them never did I ever offer to sell any weapons to Libya because as you know our State Department requirements have never allowed arms to be sold to this country unlike the Brits and perhaps some of the other European countries we have a mandate that that's not been permitted. Alright, so at this point I'm like alright, whatever. But then it takes another interesting turn. And just to be precise, you never encouraged, you never worked to lift that embargo on selling arms to Libya?
2:10:43 No, no. I've worked to try to normalize relations. I put together a comprehensive series of initiatives that could bring our people together in health care, in education, in housing, in the environment, in energy. I put together ideas to create a relationship between the Jama Horea and the Congress as I've done in nine other countries. This guy must be a saint, he's just there to go make it all good and get housing and education for children. No, thank God Wolf starts to ask again. I'm proud of what I've done and I'm sad that our efforts haven't paid off and now we're in the midst of another war that's cost the American taxpayers almost
2:11:21 Almost a billion dollars money. We don't have and who's paying for your current trip now remember like no one paying for it Didn't he just say that no one's paying for it. No one's paying I'm here my own my own free goodwill together with your delegation to Libya now. Yeah, it's the delegation is three people I brought over an attorney friend of mine from Houston because there are some things are working on that I will not discuss tonight, but He's working on some things that I'm not going to discuss. Tomorrow you can talk to your own people about that, your station, your network's been in the lead on that. The only thing that was covered was my airfare over here. And that's it. I'm not asking for any money. That's not why I'm here. Who paid for the airfare? The airfare was paid for by the team of Steve Payne and Brian Ettinger. There we go. Steve Payne and Brian Ettinger. Finally. Takes him four minutes, but Wolf gets out of him.
2:12:15 These guys are total oil weapons consultants. worldwide strategic partners who have some amazing little brochures out there hanging out with George Bush, you know, at his ranch and shooting skeet with Dick Cheney. It's like the jackals are in, the jackals are already in and they're being protected on all sides. So it's over. We're already in... Is this a shock to any of us? No, but the fact that Wolf Blitzer actually uncovered... Actually got it out of somebody, that he named a name, but then there did no follow-up whatsoever. Nothing. There's another 30 seconds. Oh, those two guys? Oh, okay, great, bye. Yeah, and I went to Korea with him. You know, it's like the whole thing... And this is a former congressman. This is the problem.
2:13:11 This is the entire problem. They're all elitist pricks, every single one of them. And what they need is... a shoe! That's what they need. Anyway, I just thought it was funny. Yeah, and of course Wolf says nothing. Nothing. Idiot. Alright. And what else do we have? Yeah, the... That Nick Robertson thing, I delved into that, but that was kind of dumb. You know, there's a whole false flag rape victim. Which reminded me so much of that woman who talked about the, remember in Iraq? The Kuwait woman that was from Hilton and Nolton that talked before Congress about the mess that was going on. Yeah, with the premature babies in the incubators.
