Right . But mueller somehow obtained it. Anyway, the Washington Post has just broken that story. We have got one of the reporters who broke the news joining us in a couple of minutes. We have that ahead. In addition to that, i have some great news for you. You are getting a new yacht. It is a gigantic yacht. Its apparently worth a quarter billion dollars. Not a quarter million. A quarter billion dollars. 250 million. This is the kind of yacht that is so big and expensive, it turns out, there is a person in the world who posts online under the name dutch megayachts. And this person has put slomo pictures of your new yacht on the dutch megayachts page on youtube. And the pictures of your new yacht are so alluring, so inanimate object sexy that whoever this is has posted these pictures of your new yacht on youtube, i kid you not, with a barry white soundtrack. My days begin, and my nights all end with you baby its your love, no doubt about it i wouldnt this is a thing that exists. Did you ever see the steve martin remake of pink panther. Somebody says to him, are you ever loney . And he says, not since the internet. [ laughing ] my whole favorite part about this is that this barry white soundtrack, sexy slomo footage of the yacht is not just from anywhere this is dutch megayachts. Com. So they have barry white singing sexily to it while it sails through the industrial port city of rotterdam. Thats your yacht. And thats a big crane. I love this so much. The world is full of amazing people who do amazing things. Mostly online. People have all sorts of feelings that you wouldnt expect. But the reason that we went looking for this footage today is because that yacht in that b barry whitethemed slomo movie does now belong to you. We have slightly less glamorous footage of the same yacht being boarded by local Law Enforcement officers in bali and indonesia this past week. Its a 250 million yacht called the equanimity. It has now been seized by the fbi by u. S. Federal agents and is being handed over to the u. S. Government. So congratulations, u. S. Taxpayer hope you like your new boat. You also just became the proud owner of 60 million worth of proceeds earned by the film wolf of wall street. The producers of the movie have now surrendered 60 million of what that film made to the u. S. Government. So you own those proceeds now too. You apparently are also about to become the owner of some of the proceeds of the movie daddys home. Starring will ferrell and Mark Wahlberg and you are also about to become the owner of some of the proceeds from the move dumb and dumber too by stars a car that looks like a dog. In the case of those two movies, unlike wolf of wall street, i dont know exactly how much of the proceeds you will get from dumb and dumber too and the dad one. You are about to get some of it as a u. S. Taxpayer. The reason you are now the owner of all of this new stuff you didnt own before is because of this guy. Not the one on the left. The other guy. Who is the Prime Minister of malaysia. If you are the Prime Minister of a country and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars suddenly show up in your personal bank account, you better have a really good explanation for that, right . Prime minister jobs do tend to come with a nice salary, but not hundreds of millions of dollars overnight kind of salaries. A couple years ago, though, somebody put almost 700 million into the bank account of the Prime Minister of malaysia. And he really had no good explanation for it. For months he said it was nobodys business. It was his money. He said these allegations, these insinuations that there was anything inappropriate about the sudden infusion of 700 million into his private bank account, he said this was just his political opponents trying to undermine him, there was nothing to see here. Then his own attorney general and deputy Prime Minister started saying, actually, you know, maybe the Prime Minister should answer questions about this mysterious 700 million. The Prime Minister reacted to that by firing both of them. He fired his deputy Prime Minister and he fired his attorney general. Prime minister then appointed a new attorney general to look at the circumstances of that money turning up in his bank account, and that new handpicked attorney general looked into it and declared that really it was all fine. Nobody had done anything wrong. And thats when they decided what their public explanation would be for where the money came from. The explanation was that that money, that 700 million, it was a present. It was a nostringsattached gift for the Prime Minister from the saudi royal family. Their line was that there was a saudi prince who decided that he liked the Prime Minister of malaysia, and no occasion really, he just decided that the Prime Minister could probably do with 700 million, so he gave it to him. Free for nothing. When thats your goodsounding explanation, when thats your everything is fine, nothing to see here excuse that a saudi prince dropped it off and we dont know why. Then you know the badsounding explanation must be really, really, really bad. Sure enough, a few months later the United States department of justice filed a 250page complaint alleging that that 700 million cash that turned up mysteriously in the personal bank account of the malaysian Prime Minister was just a fraction of the proceeds of a gigantic heist. A giant act of thievery, a corruption scheme, in which the Prime Minister and his family and his associates stole billions of dollars from the malaysian government. 4 4. 5 billion they stole in cash from the malaysian government. Some of it they just stacked up in Bank Accounts, but mostly they laundered it all over the world, including in the United States, which is why the u. S. Justice department brought the case even though the money was stolen from the people of malaysia. And the list of stuff that they spent the stolen money on is a ridiculous list of stuff. The Prime Ministers family and friends bought penthouses in new york city, mansions in beverly hills, they bought yachts, yes, yachts, barry white style and otherwise. They bought picasso paintings. They did a lot of gambling. The Prime Ministers wife mysteriously ended up with a lot of ridiculous jewelry. The Prime Ministers stepson used a bunch of the money to finance some hollywood movies, including the wolf of wall street, daddys home and dumb and dumber 2 through a Company Called red granite pictures. You c u. S. Justice Department Said that was the Money Laundering vehicle for the money stolen by the Prime Minister, his family and their associates. And yes, thats sort of a bonkers list of things to spend money on, particularly if you are trying to stay lowkey and get away with this kind of theft. Ostentatious much . If you think about it, you sort of have to spend the money on something. It is hard to explain hundreds of billions of radadollars sitt in Bank Accounts. Maybe its better to convert it into realworld salable assets. Something that could make a profit. Now the United States has started the process of seizing the assets that are believed to have been bought by the criminals who carried off the scheme. The stuff that was stolen with malaysian government money, u. S. Federal official, the fbi, started last summer going after the real estate. They made Leonardo Dicaprio hand over the picasso that he was given as a gift by the good people who turned up with barrels full of cash to finance the wolf of wall street. And the Justice Department has continued to pursue its investigation into this huge heist, this massive theft of billions of dollars in Government Funds, which ended up resulting in the purchase of all of these things. So a few things here. Number one, congratulations on your new yacht. It is lovely even to the point where its attractive. Two, yes, it was strange when President Trump hosted the malaysian Prime Minister at the white house just a few months ago, in september, in the middle of this big investigation. White house never mentioned the federal agents who were pursuing the malaysian Prime Minister as a multibillion dollar thief in this gigantic scheme. There was worry in advance of the malaysian Prime Minister visiting trump that, if on this trip to the white house the Prime Ministers wife wore some specific jewelry she is known to possess, federal agents might be put in the awkward position of having to take that jewelry off her, like maybe when she was leaving the white house grounds, or maybe at their hotel. Naturally, the malaysian Prime Minister and his entourage, including his wife, all stayed at our president s hotel in washington while here for the visit, which means that Government Funds that rightfully belong to the people of malaysian have now gone into the pocket of the malaysian Prime Minister himself but also into the pocket of our president. Nice. No wonder they get along so well. So the ongoing Justice Department investigation and the seizure of all these luxury items bought with the stolen funds, that makes that white house visit a little weird. Now it is getting weirder because the wall street journal has obtained documents, emails, appearing to show that a Top Republican fundraiser close to donald trump was in negotiations to earn tens of millions of dollars if the Justice Department dropped the investigation into the graft scandal involving a malaysian fund. Elliott browedy and his wife discussed setting up a consulting contract with a malaysian businessman at the center of a multibillion dollar graft scandal. The businessman is the guy who is technically the owner of your new yacht, the yacht that fbi agents just seized in this case. Fbi agents have found the yacht, but the guy himself who is technically the owner, who is allegedly part of the big theft scheme with the Prime Minister, that guy has gone missing. And they are now looking for him right now. But according to the wall street journal, within the last year, the emails that the journal obtained show that a trump fundraiser was pursuing a draft business agreement with that guy, the guy who is now a fugitive, the guy who owns the yacht and cannot be found. They were pursuing a deal in which he and his wife would get paid a cool 75 million and they were able to succeed in getting the Justice Department to drop this malaysian case. This is weird, right . This massive corruption case, massive heist, multi billionbar scheme and trump is hosting the Prime Minister at the center of it, in the middle of this big case by the Justice Department . And the Main Business guy who also seems to have benefited from it, at least it got him a 250 million yacht, he is involved with one of trumps fundraisers who are asking for a 75 million payment to get the Justice Department to drop this case against him. It is a strange story, right . Who knows where this one ends . There is another story in the wall street journal tonight about the president s lawyers making an offer to the special counsel Robert Mueller. The lawyers seeking to negotiate a deal with Robert Mueller that uses an interview with the president as le raj to spverage. The lawyers are considering, quote, suggesting a deadline of 60 days for mueller to wrap up his investigation. I dont think thats going to happen. I dont think anybody thinks thats going to happen. I mean, not only are the president s lawyers not in a position to be laying down demands at this point, with at least four guilty pleas in the case already. At least. There may be more that are not yet unsealed. With two criminal trials on dozens of felony charges due to start this summer and into the fall. In addition to the fact that the president s legal team wouldnt seem to have the leverage that mueller do anything, let alone wrap things up quickly for them now, frankly, we are still at the part of the scandal where we keep meeting new characters and starting new episodes. We all just got a new yacht come on this guy, the trump fundraiser who turns up in the middle of this weird malaysia heist. We first met him may 2016 in the middle of the president ial campaign when i marvelled on the air at the fact that the rnc named him the vice chair of the Trump Victory fund for the Republican National committee. I marvelled at that on the air because he was at the time most famous for one of the most astonishing bribery cases ever in a u. S. State so corrupt already its hard to be astonished by anything. In 2009 he pled guilty to an amazing series of bribes to officials in new york state. He was bribing the official so they could give his Financial Firm a piece of a big new york state controlled pile of money. A piece of the pension fund for state workers. Broidy paid the state officials millions of dollars in bribes. The bribes were incredible. He paid an allexpensepaid luxury vacation for the state comptroller and his family, firstclass air fare to israel, luxury suites at the King David Hotel in jerusalem, a chauffeured car and driver, helicopter tours. That was the bribe to the comptroller and his family. To the deputy comptroller. He got his brother a Tony Soprano Style job. It was spelled out in the indictment when the state officials went to jail for taking the bribes. Elliott broidy is the guy who bribed them to get business for his firm. It worked. He personally made like 18 million off the scheme. Which is a good investment if he only had to put out a million. The only problem was they caught him. And in the end it was the state officials who he bribed who ended up going to prison. Broidy himself flipped and went states evidence. He pled guilty to a felony charge of rewarding official misconduct. So he was a felon. Ultimately, in reward for his cooperation, he got to withdraw his felony plea and, in the end, just admit to a misdemeanor because he flipped and weaseled on the people he paid the bribes to, they went to jail, while he didnt. Then the Republican Party named him vice chair of the donald Trump Victory fund for the rnc, of all the people in the world. His felony bribery charges were not even that long ago. It was late 2009. Now that the Trump Campaign is over he has now since become the deputy finance chairman of the rnc, working in steve wynns shop there, one of the other deputy finance chairman is michael cohen, president s personal lawyer, now known for the porn star payment scandal. How are you doing staying out of the trump scandals, rnc. Now mr. Broidy took a turn into the Robert Mueller investigation. His prosecutors now have a cooperating witness named george nader, adviser to the government of the uae. Mueller is interested because theyre investigating, quote, the influence of foreign money on trumps political activities. Muellers prosecutors have reportedly asked witnesses about the possibility that george nader funneled money from the United Arab Emirates into President Trumps political efforts. It is illegal to facilitate that. Mueller is looking into that issue using this cooperating witness, george nader, who turns out to be in business with elliott broidy, the guy who has reportedly been offering to get rid of the Justice Departments malaysia investigation for a 75 million fee to him and his wife. The guy who is a new York State Pension Fund bribery felon, this magnificent specimen of civicmindedness who was named deputy finance chairman of the rnc. He surfaces now in the reporting about this new cooperating witness helping the Mueller Investigation examine the possibility of foreign money flowing into the trump political operation because broidy has reportedly been giving george nader detailed briefings on the work he has been doing at the white house, including meetings with President Trump to pursue the Foreign Policy aims of this country that george nader works for, uae, and to try to turn the Trump Administration against uaes rivals in the middle east. Broidy has recently received hundreds of millions of dollars from uae. After the inauguration, george nader, quote, became friendly with broidy and then his companies signed contracts with the uae worth several hundred million dollars. I won
