0:00 [Music] joe you're talking about how the united states navy might be compromised dude okay so there's this thing called the fat leonard scandal it's pretty crazy if you type that up you'll probably see documentaries and all this ████ that's going on i can't believe that this is like big news right now because the us navy has been basically infiltrated and compromised and it could be the whole entire navy if they prosecuted all the people involved it could be all the ████ admirals right now like leadership the whole leadership could be wiped out but there's this dude called fat leonard right and then uh trusted source yeah he's a really fat malaysian dude or like chinese i don't know just my tag is that your peoples yeah dude i'm

0:50 rocking with it but he basically it's kind of like you know how the conspiracy behind epstein is that he had the island and he was uh uh you know getting all these world leaders to ████ young girls it's a real conspiracy right yeah and then the conspiracy is they were rigging all this stuff with cameras and then they were blackmailing them well this is not a conspiracy it's an admission so fat lettered was doing that to the us navy and then the way he got his start is uh his family ran a business at one of the ports out in malaysia or indonesia and um when the cargo ships and like you know these fishermens came or whatever they need food to resupply their ship and whatever and that's what their family business was well he had an idea of like you know what these big aircraft carriers military

1:42 ships they have like 400 people if we get a contract with them we're going to be like freaking millionaires right so then he started getting you know more relationships with the military guys and they would you know sell apples and lunch boxes and whatever right and then he started getting requests like can you get like jerks can you get women can you get whatever he's like yeah i could get them and then so he started offering whatever he could to the navy dudes and then he went up the ranks and he goes man you know if one ship can make me this much money how about all of the us navy and then so he basically started providing all this stuff and then you know the navy guys were just like oh ████ yeah this is cool i like i like ████ fat leonard i'm gonna send my ships here and if they didn't what he would do

2:32 is he created like a house where he would have hella orgies and and all that and you would have it all recorded yeah and then so it would start with the gifts and all these things he made a brothel in his port basically had a mansion invited all these naval like leaders to come in and be like yeah you want to party here's some drugs here's some women whatever whatever you would record the whole thing and if it got to the point where they didn't comply with sending all of the us ships to his port then he would blackmail them basically so he could have compromised all of them for other reasons right because like what was ending up happening is that um he wanted his port to being the gas station the pit stop for all the us navy so he was motivated by greed if he was compromised by like russians or whatever we could

3:24 have had our u.s navy at the fingertips of a different country he was actually um using what you're talking about i'm reading up about it right now he was using it to get locations of our entire fleet yeah and he was actually directing them to different ports so that he could build the navy of all kinds of different resources that's ████ crazy they were moving battleships because of this ████ just because of this one guy yeah why is he coming out now or how did this music this came out in 2019 finally but there was whistleblowers as early as 2006 who all got like just ████ roasted by all the officers joe's talking about in the navy as early as 2006 so you had multiple whistleblowers coming out saying hey what else could i have done because everyone's talking about in 2018 what the ████ why didn't anyone talk about it there were whistleblowers who got penalized silenced maybe even murdered run out of the navy yeah so so he just kept going

4:16 up the ranks because once he figured out how the navy operated he's like who's the man in charge that's in charge of the logistics because his goal was to get all of the ships going to his port so then he wanted them to direct the ships to where they're going you know so so it was like a business like and then he was he was basically like handing them gifts maybe even giving them a cut of all the money that he was making and this is all u.s taxpayer money because you gotta remember like the the military is funded by us so what ends up happening is he can charge what he wants too so like he could charge like 50 bucks an apple or whatever outrageous prices he could pick a price gouge we're forking out the bill we don't know right and then so the way that he got compromised is one of the dudes that were in charge of moving these ships

5:08 right high ranking dude uh i think he was based out in like yokohama or japan or whatever but his wife knew he was cheating and he was too ████ bold about it and then he was open about it in the emails all this stuff and then they got into a huge ████ fight huge ████ fight and then she was like you know what ████ this ████ she went to the embassy ratted his ass out and then the investigation started happening internally they checked out his email all his stuff and then they they basically started tailing him which led them to fat leonard and then when leonard got ████ caught up they were like all right so what do you want to do and he goes i'll squeal i'll ████ tell you everything he told every like he told on every ████ that he was you know involved with right

5:59 and what he saw was there were a lot of fall guys that got in trouble 31 people criminally charged so far maybe mid-level management to below not the top dudes none of the guys who are in trouble whatever right 440 people including 60 admirals are under scrutiny in the investigation but 31 charged so 440 people ████ 60 admirals and then so for him too he's the key witness he has kidney cancer and he's all like you know what ████ this i'm going out to the public so he went straight to matt leonard yeah so he's this is how he knows like he's he's on a podcast there's a there's a journalist that's like covering it all and then he's all like at the same time he's like hey if i'm gonna get ████ hit for this i'm also gonna die i don't give a ████ yeah i'm surprised he's still a lot hey what's amazing is he

6:50 actually had a ton of credibility because he of the blackmail situation he was giving himself civilian commendations by having the people that he's greasing the wheels with i'll give those to him so then he actually ups his credibility that way it's crazy this is great he's pretty ████ smart like evil genius ████ dude so when he's on that podcast he already has all these commendations so he's not just some crazy conspiracy theorist who like worked with the navy he's like a guy who the navy gave bestowed all these honors to there's hella pictures of him with top breaking anna like it's like so they can't just excuse them and say like nah this guy's not a crazy dude yeah he needs fat leonard it's crazy that he didn't fall off a cliff or he didn't have to get into a car accident or something you know what he had a lot of leverage because also part of the navy are the seals right and if you have like a top ranking admiral that has control over a

7:40 unit like that you can make a lot of magical coincidental ████ happened to people like this yeah maybe maybe um while he was being internally investigated and like he i think he's actually incarcerated too by the military so like who knows maybe it's too risky for internal investigation to catch on to it bart do you know of any people who were like serving like in the middle east and they were like stealing gold or cash or anything like that um like that george clooney movie i think that's happening three kings at the end of the day all military is still made up of just people and people will do people things so i know guys that brought um rocket launchers and tires back into the states

8:30 how do they do that because that's how they smuggled it they just bring it back u.s military guys yeah they just because before like uh now when they go over the middle east it's like commercial airlines they go through tsa all that stuff right but before there's infrastructure set in place there is none of that so people would just take back souvenirs that they want dismantle whatever they have i take a piece you take a piece he takes a piece we'll reassemble it back over here we have a friend that has uh saddam hussein's personal glock because when they raided when they raided like the palace um they were just going through everything and before they have like really detailed they go whoop that's mine they don't have detailed rules of engagement you know and it's just like oh i found this we attacked the target what are the rules on this that everyone's like okay like finders keepers the rules

9:20 that's the first it says that right under semper fi really small semper finders keepers have you ever seen that before so it's just that i mean that happens you know and like even i had buddies that were stationed in okinawa and they'll be able to bring chicks back onto the aircraft carrier and they're ████ in like bunks like this and they're ████ in little bunks you know like a japanese pod like it's like those little and that pod and and when i was in korea like because of us russia relations like when you go to the clubs you can and there's a lot of russian chicks in korea you cannot bring any russians back russian women are so hot so far i know that's the problem are they a honey pot operation they're spies oh sexy spies ████ ladies

10:14 and gentlemen a bunch of russian chicks back on base you know yeah that's like double occasions these are just dudes or i mean like people are just people too so it's just dudes are just dudes is probably easier to say yes dudes are just dudes these dudes are more dumb do you think they ever use the excuse that they ████ a russian chick because they were trying to get information out of her that would be hilarious you have to try right you're like no sarge you don't understand i was trying to get information she was saying to me yeah she's in love with me she really likes me i got intel do you know that caviar there is actually from china no ████ way keep ████ her man holy ████ sarge i got some intel we should not drink this water 100 do not drink the water well inside information i guess i mean it happens everywhere right like the dmv lady stealing highlighters taking it

11:04 home just it just happens everywhere you gotta have one mix up it happens everywhere highlighters my mom used to take ████ like the toner and she like extra toner they didn't need from her office bro we all know somebody that works in the government like building that we can get them hooked up with because everyone had like a dmv plug back in the day where that's how you got people's addresses and ████ from license plates oh right all my love but you kind of not answered me because i said do you know of anybody i know the guy that has on the things i know the saddam one but what about like people taking like ████ gold and all kinds of that ████ no that that's stuff i'm not that's a higher pay grade huh yeah the bart's like i can't talk about that because i made a pact when we stole the gold not to tell anybody and then we started jk films but there's i mean there's a very uh what's the word

11:55 term of endearment called uh like oh did you get that it fell off the truck oh that's like this there's a lot of things that fall off the truck that's the expression oh i fell off the truck oh okay that means i stole it there's lots of things that fall off the truck a good answer good answer what do you think about the term military grade when you're like watch you know you watch these uh these commercials they always get dennis leary to talk about four trucks he's like military great and i'm like dude everybody i've ever met who talks about military grade talks about how much the equipment sucks ass the new stuff's pretty good it depends yeah like the new stuff's pretty good if it says military grade it better be indestructible that's what it should mean that's what it's supposed to be like the stuff like the old alice packs from vietnam they still work till this day what's the alice pack yeah it's like a metal frame pack like a rucksack that

12:46 you stuff all your things in and those things is still one of the most preferred ways to carry ████ if they get a vintage one and just use that or is it like they keep making the same scene and no in boot camp it's literally like 50 years old the one that you have oh wow that's what i mean all the stuff in the military is like old as ████ and antiquated yeah that's military yeah toyota is a war toyota's of war damn that's military the perfect choice of ride for isis the hilux the hilux tank all right the hylix they don't release that uh series in the u.s it's called the 70 series right and they have them all over the world except for the u.s no i don't know why do you follow that guy he's like a mercenary you know there's like mercenary black water right there's also mercenary mechanics what why so i think he's like probably former special

13:36 apps wherever but he's like works on vehicles so he'll hook up like a ████ forerunner and at the hit of a switch the top pops up there's a ████ turret gun but he sells to both sides it's just he's a real lord of war it's just whatever he gets commissioned by so if the special forces need some he's like oh i'll make you like three land cruisers and the ████ the other the other good guys i'll make you three of them yeah he'll make ████ so he's like selling to isis and he's just making them so whoever's buying them is down dude that paint job is sick a lot of stuff that could fall off the truck we had to get that fell off the truck that's a human what if you're nice guy you're carrying capacity are indestructible and honestly this is a really good toyota this is a good game of guessing how many people are on that without like just looking at it once i mean dude that you know that tire is grinding up against that real real well

14:26 though yoda supplying insurgency since 1970. if insurgents pick it you know it's some good ████ because it's lasting longer yeah that's true well you don't see no tacomas out there i'll tell you that man ████ that's an american car you know what i've always wanted to see because i heard about it was uh osama bin laden had a porn collection apparently on his laptop yeah and we never but we never saw him what do you think it's in it that's a fun game maybe lesbians debbie does dallas some old ████ asia carrera asia maybe mia maybe mia khalifa probably stuff like that oh that could make sense but it's filed under like evidence like he's intending on killing her or he's like bomb making yeah i swear to god it's bomb making in there dude it's something you normally hide he's
