for example, the story well, in chomsky, a world-famous left-wing intellectual who was very loved inte about what he would say about the fact that russia fights more humanely than america did on the radio in ukraine and that's just it it's just the case when people don't see what they don't want to see chomsky very often, by the way, they compare him with jean polemsartre, also a very famous intellectual of the 20th century on the left, so they are also related by the way, the starter was even in ukraine, he was in the soviet union during the soviet era and he did not see the famine. he did not see the results of the soviet power and this occupation of russia by the enslaved people . a character who was worth emulating unfortunately, today we see how the war actually separates the wheat from the chaff, relatively speaking, and here are extreme left and extreme right activists. such as there, for example , well, such as i don’t know . the same, in the end, and carlson , who finally left fox, who poured dirt on ukraine and the united states, the pentagon of joseph biden, with the help

durst was didn't ultimately work out because he didn't take the bait but nor i, nor do i think no chomsky who apparently met multiple times with him. i don't think he took debate on any of that, but most likely because he was also involved in eugenics and involved in a lot of weird science that you know epstein. but i think the long term goal and objective in each one of these cases was to entrap it and snare these people in the world that could then be used against them. the, according to the various reports, there are lots of video cameras all over epstein island and presently we just don't know whatever happened to all of that material. but all of it has the finger forensic fingerprints of a black male operation involving western intelligence agency. now i don't know if it's accurate, but a rest on where that comes resort the morrow longer was absolutely a off limits for f f students parties. and if that, to that, i think that's the reason is a very interesting question about morality because it's one thing to, you know, pursue adult women, even as the extramarital affair i'm, it's qui

we heard the thoughts of carding could chomsky a retard us herforst lieutenant colonel. this is the pentagon is simply figuring out is aging stockpiles and sending them to the worst on which we may extend the comfort. but we really are the united states and in the western countries that are aging, ukraine really are emptying out their store house and their warehouses of existing weapons and ammunition and technologies that we would use on a battlefield where we're dumping all that in ukraine and the value that we put on it. i mean, it could be like a yard sale, right? you know, red dot, i mean it's whatever you say it is, it's whatever 2 people agree that it is. in reality, that stuff may not be valued at all because depending on his gambling that when they get rid of all this stuff, the congress will fund them for a bunch of new stuff. i don't know if they don't know if the pentagon understands the reality of the economy, the relapse materiality of that you know, the picture dollar. i don't know if it gets all that, but it expects to be more than over compensated from w

bill clinton being one of the num chomsky b b academic another. or coming out quite recently these the new names which he might have the timing way now. well, it's not so much the timing i, i don't see it as a timing necessarily as to now, because really, i mean, these are old stories, but again, it's been a gradual process of trying to actually mind. you know, the data in mind. the evidence of, of what happened of who, you know, who, who basically did what, right? because that seems black book is massive. and just because he met people or new people doesn't make you guilty by association, right? but, but the point is that it does require, at least i would say i'm putting a microscope on these relationships, right. why were they close to epstein? what was he basically, what was he offering them? and what were, were they involved in any kind of, uh, let's say was he was, he's listening young women or under age women for these people was involved in money laundering or any kind of a legal activities. or was it part of intelligence operations? these,

today, one of the largest expositions of the museum is the project the feat of the people through the chomsky are transported to june 1941 and become a participant in the defense of the stadels. everything is so close to reality that the sculptures of military doctors and civilians seem to come to life, by the way. some of them are images of real defenders of the brest fortress. and here we can see a 19-year-old nurse. e veronica khoretskaya, uh, which first, the great patriotic war, literally from the first minutes, and provided, as far as possible, the first medical aid to wounded soldiers and officers of the red army and in her chest. she covered the wounded soldier, but from an enemy bullet, but, unfortunately, veronika herself died from a gunshot wound. the exposition consists of 17 halls and each tells its own story . losses of the soviet people in the great patriotic war. and to not a single participant of the great patriotic war was forgotten the museum launched the project of the face of victory today, there are already about millions of photographs of the stories of those who fought

and then we've got with college are academics like bard college president leon botstein, noam chomskye steven.. -- epstein. are you finding other unnamed officials who met with epstein this in high ranks of government right now? >> so we're still reporting, actually, and so stay tuned to see what we have coming next. but you're right that there were academics that were involved. ask this particular story that we're talking about the, the reason we focused on these people is because they weren't known. but there's been a black book out there, some flight logs and a lot of names are already out there. so these were just new names that we came across. and as my colleague david said, they did say that they felt either that -- a lot of the people that we that talked to said that they thought he was rehabilitated or they didn't really fully understand the extent of his behavior. elizabeth: so they're intelligence officials. don't you think they should know the extent of his behavior? don't you think they should be aware that sex criminals are are recidivists for the most part? i mean, what

the american left, including white house counsel kathryn , and beloved leftist intellectual noam chomskyho was jeff? >> so who was jeffrey epstein? buck sexton as the host ofdoug clai sm book, you know, book. >> i still don't get it. how did he get so close to soit. many powerful people ? well, you know, lawrence, it's amazing when you look at how high profile this case is and then you put that alongside the fact that there ne seems to be either not enoughno interest or not enough resources from some ofget key the authorities to get key answers to questions here. ions herlike we're going to stae with where did this guy get all of his money? right. i mean, he get a gotll access te very wealthy people, certainly in part because he was making donations and not just wealthy, powerful people, influential people. he was writing checks and he had private jets and things like that. okay, where the money comes, right. this usually isn't that hard to do. forensic accounting is something the fbi actually excels at. and yet we're still told, you know, he was sort of a guy who was doing some kind of

but fundamental this is getting chomsky the vietnamese communist grand narrative. this is this is history as. the communists themselves have been have presenting it up and now we know on the basis of research done by those us who have been going to vietnam that that that grand narrative is is, is, is effectively a largely largely propaganda propaganda just taken in. and i think also the problem with that grand narrative is that is that it ends up validating some some really misguided about those who worked against homecoming and his comrades and the communist movement. you know at the time the communists their off their vietnamese opposition as lackeys of the french as puppets of the americans or as traitors to to the nation and and i in places killing. i feel like you kind of perpetuate some of these notions. right? you talk about saigon as an american, as an authority area, an unpopular government and its armed forces, as and riddled with corruption and and incompetence. you do you write that american reasons protecting the south vietnamese government lacked vali
