ght and when he's not, but he has some fascinating research he does on a lot of stuff. But apparently the government, the Trump administration, has now released 100,000 emails relative to the Epstein situation. And the 100,000 emails, I think that was just the number of emails with Ehud Barak, the ex-prime minister of Israel. Well, I don't know. It doesn't seem like they would have done 100,000 messages back and forth, but there were 100,000 emails and some number of them were about back and forth with Ehud Barak.

So I think Ian's leaning toward the hypothesis that Epstein was definitely a Mossad or Israeli asset of some kind. I find it difficult to imagine that if his relationship with Ehud Barak was that close, it's hard to imagine that he didn't have some kind of working relationship. But there are now several let's say movies on one screen about Epstein. So one of the movies would be this: he's an Israeli asset and that explains everything and he's a blackmailer. That's a popular one.

Another one would be maybe let's call it the Mike Benz hypothesis that Epstein might have been an expert at moving large amounts of money around in ways that can be concealed and that made him a valuable person to all these high-level people and it was mostly just him and maybe a few people he pulled into it that were doing the sexual stuff. So that's one possibility. Or to say it differently, that the sexual improprieties were not related to his business model. So that would be another way to say it. They exist but it's not part of his money-making operation.

And then the other would be that he wasn't doing anything illegal but maybe he had one or two billionaires who found him valuable and paid him large amounts of money. So there's some sort of a partial third movie there where he's not as guilty except for the sexual stuff that I would say obviously he was guilty of. So that Epstein situation, we'll never know, I say.

There was a rumor going around on X today that President
