But but the basic is this guy's like forging documents.

Um and is also apparently, according to Albanian prosecutors who have arrested him um in June, um one of the key figures in the

um uh cocaine tr European cocaine trade.

Um now this alleged gangster uh now what do you think the Wall Street Journal description is that his bonus operandi is to use crypto to funnel money around and then to take the um uh do money laundering by investing in real estate.

And my uh thinking is that's not that different than Jared Kushner.

I I wouldn't say he's involved with the cocaine

Main trade, but certainly the Trump family is doing a lot of involvement with crypto and is doing a lot of real estate development and the b the and and is cons doing doing business deals with this suspected gangster.

Um now in Albania, um this erupted uh you it it could actually bring the governor of Albania down.

There's a kind of what's now called the Flamingo Revolution, daily protest.

Um and uh to my way of thinking, like this is actually an inspirational story because of the popular opposition.

Um, I uh in some ways I think it was easier for the uh people in Albi Albania to use Kushner as a kind of uh figurehead um for channeling popular discontent.

Uh but you know, like there's no reason why this shouldn't be the United States.

There's no reason why Democrats should not be running on the fact that hey, the Trump

family has made billions with ties to um um um middle eastern uh autocrats um often in very shady business like crypto often with things um uh like real estate uh development that are like used as money laundering operations.

Like why is this not like uh

I I mean I

Uh I I I I I uh one would uh think so.

And I I mean I think that there's some reluctance on some Democrats to to raise this stuff because they felt that the corruption stuff didn't work.

But I I wanna like emphasize like the corruption argument and the sort of inflation um uh argument that we talked about earlier, they actually go hand in hand.

That I and I think the Watergate story is actually very important.
