I've just recorded the first episode of our new season, talking about the sta...
the IMO's Net Zero framework, in the wake of the just concluded latest MEPC meeting.
“The big question I hear again and again is, what happens next and how quickly?”
In this episode, I unpack what's moving, what's stolen, and what that means for future decisions and timelines. Should for maritime impact on your favorite podcast platform? Stay tuned. Baron, Baron Trump. Well, wherever he is, he's going to be subpoenaed soon and he's going to sit under oath and he's going to have his deposition taken and some serious questions are going to be asked to Baron Trump about how he's allegedly made hundreds and millions of dollars
potentially uncrypto if that's accurate. What's being reported, his connections to the tape brothers
and other aspects of his life. Donald Trump and Melania may want to call Baron there, little boy, and act like he's a little child. Let me be very clear. Baron Trump is not off-limits. Baron Trump is absolutely somebody who should be subpoenaed. Somebody who should be investigated in my opinion. And I am glad that Democratic Congresswoman on sorry is leading the charge as a relates to Baron. We talk about Melania's sick disgusting and dark past in my opinion. We talk
about Donald Trump's sick disgusting dark past in my opinion, and we should talk about their spawn. We should talk about Baron. Yes, there are the headlines with Baron that say, Baron Trump dragged into probe of his twisted rape charge idols as a headline right now from the Daily Beast regarding the tape brothers. But before that, the headlines from 2025, how Donald Trump's
youngest son built a $150 million crypto fortune. I wonder how Trump says he didn't know about
the windfall from his family's crypto ventures, where it's alleged that Baron was instrumental in the founding of world liberty financial, which made nearly $800 million for at least Donald Trump. And maybe others for more got got big injections by Pakistan and Abu Dhabi and others.
“So I think we should ask Baron Trump. Those questions. Hey, people were asking Hunter Biden”
questions about his paintings. Where's Hunter was a mantra? No, where is Baron? Is the big question right here? So here's the letter that was just sent out by Democratic Congresswoman on sorry James Comer. And let's be clear. James Comer and these disgusting mega Republicans are the Trump cover up racket. They ain't going to do anything. But when I like Congresswoman on sorry, doing here is making it very clear that when Democrats take control of the House of
Representatives after the midterms, she's going to subpoena people like Baron Trump, like Don Jr., like Eric, like Jared Kushner, like Steve Whitkov. And I think the American people, frankly, whether you're Democrat, Republican, independent, whoever. I think American people want to see these depositions taken. They want accountability right now because they know that something smells a lot more than fishy. Let's just put it that way. Here's the letter of that
unsauri sent to Comer. I write to respectfully request that the committee on oversight and accountability open an investigation into potential political interference and improper conduct by the federal government regarding the criminal prosecution of a U.S. British citizen, Emory Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate. These two individuals have been handed down 38 sex related criminal charges in the United Kingdom in addition to charges in Romania. But I've yet to face extradition or face other
penalties by the Trump administration, such as prosecution or detention in the United States.
“Remember, they were released from Romania after there was apparently an influence campaign on the”
Romanian government to do some quid pro quo favors for Donald Trump when Donald Trump took office agree justly. Investigative reports detail on sorry says extensive communications between Andrew Tate and Barron Trump, Trump's son as well as the Tate brothers, broader interactions with high profile individuals in Donald Trump's personal circles. And unsauri and the Democrats are demanding Barron Trump be subpoenaed that he's sit for a deposition and we learn more about what the hell
He's doing, where the hell he is and what he's doing in this despicable Trump...
when Donald Trump refers to Barron, he calls him my little boy. He's a little boy and he's quite tall. He's an adult. He's a grown man even though nobody's actually ever heard his voice before. Stop with the little be the little baby boy. No, no, he's a grown adult. Let's play this clip of Donald Trump calling him my little boy. Let's play it.
Most importantly and most importantly, to her, she's done an incredible job as first lady.
And she's an incredible mom. She has a little boy who's quite tall. He's a little boy to us, but he's quite tall, right? And he's great, Farron. And she takes great care of him. And thank you. Melania uses similar language. Let's play it. Tell us about that to challenge of being the first lady of the greatest country in the world. Everyone's pulling at you, but you also have your priority
“of your family. It's very important. You need to be there for a child, nonstop, and especially when”
they need you, especially at that age that Barron is. He's incredible young man. We are very proud of him second year in Stern School of Business. And I want to bring a Democratic Congresswoman on
sorry. Right now, here's my interview with Congresswoman Onzari about her efforts to take the
deposition into subpoena Barron Trump. Let's bring in the interview with Onzari. Now, I want to bring in Arizona Congresswoman Yasmin Onzari. Congresswoman Onzari, great to see. I want to talk about the letter that you sent calling for and investigation. And you sent this letter to James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, talk to us about the investigation you're calling for and how it also involves Barron Trump as well.
Thank you so much for having me. Well, as you know, Ben, we have been deep in the midst of the Epstein investigation in the House Oversight Committee where House Democrats have been pushing James Comer
forcefully throughout the last year to take this investigation seriously because of the Trump
administration's coverup and because of the ties to so many in Epstein's orbit. A much less covered story is that of Andrew and Tristan Tate, who are of course more modern day criminals in the realm.
“You know, they have been accused and have charges against them. I think 50 charges combined”
in the United Kingdom for things like rape, solicitation, an exploitation of miners, child sex trafficking as well. And there have long been ties between the Tates and the Trump family. And in particular, there's been some really great reporting that shows, you know, from the New York Times and financial times, etc. The connections with the kids of Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Barron Trump, it is reported that Barron Trump played a key role in facilitating
especially during the 2024 campaign, the relationship between the Tate brothers and the campaign. And, you know, Andrew Tate was very publicly supportive of Donald Trump. And we know that even, you know, even more aggressively, perhaps the an administration official at the Munich Security Conference intervened and spoke with a Romanian official about Andrew Tate's case in particular. So what I am demanding from Chairman Comer is to open an investigation into all of this into
looking at and examining the ties and the coordination that may have taken place between the Tates and the Trump White House, who, you know, who especially, you know, has been making those connections, whether that's Donald Trump Jr., Barron Trump members of the administration or the
“cabinet. I think this is really important to look at because these are criminals. These are very”
serious criminals that will brought to the United States after these charges were put forward. So I hope Chairman Comer takes this seriously. I think this is part of the broader corruption story of the Trump family and part of the broader trend and pattern that we see from them, which is to protect criminals and do everything possible to protect criminals from getting any sort of repercussions or accountability. One of the odd things about Barron Trump is he's an adult.
He's a grown-up. And if you listen to how Donald Trump talks about him or how Melania even speaks about him, you would think that he's like a little boy, you know, as Melania's little boy in this and that, but, you know, these relationships that we even know about objectively are very, very dangerous. And this whole idea that somehow barrens this little boy and he's off limits and he's Melania's little one, it rings very hollow, especially with already what we know. And I was, you know,
I really appreciated your letter because it was like just enough of this.
grown man ostensibly in Barron who could be doing bad things. Stop it, gloves off and let's see what's going on. Absolutely. I could not agree more. Barron Trump is an adult. He is a full-blown adult and he is very influential in the Trump White House orbit. I mean, we know from, you know,
from the first administration and from this administration that the Trump children play a very big
role in the administration in policies that are passed. They benefit financially from the way the Trump administration operates and the self-dealing and the corruption that takes place. We know,
“you know, very famously Ivanka Trump also, I think, even as a, you know, as a grown woman,”
gets the same kind of treatment, right, because of her relationship with her father and the way Donald Trump talks about her. I think there are a lot of parallels to be drawn with the, you know, Donald Trump Ivanka relationship and the way he tries to, you know, let her get away with her actions. It's the same with Barron and Melania, but Ivanka had a very big role in the first administration. Jared Kushner is still conducting foreign policy on behalf of the United States.
Barron Trump has not only been influential in the campaign and connecting the campaign to the Manosphere, which, of course, Andrew Tate is a, you know, major influencer in that space, but he also has, you know, a similar to his brothers undertaking in corruption, undertaking in investments and prediction markets and stock trading that, that is to his own benefit while the administration takes away healthcare from millions of Americans. So we need to stop looking
at them as though they're these like innocent, naive kids who, you know, are part of any of this. They also choose the limelight. They choose to want to be involved with the campaigns. They choose to be involved with the administration. And therefore, if they are committing crimes or if they
are engaging in activity that is against the law in any way, shape or form, then they ultimately
have to be held accountable for that. Yeah, I got a sense and tell me if Democrats take control of the house much more robust oversight. I mean, there's barely any oversight being done right
“now by a coma. But I think we may be hearing a lot more questions like where is Ivanka,”
where is Barron? Ivanka Jared doing, you know, these, you know, taken over islands in Albania, why is Jared even, you know, representing the United States when he wasn't even appointed, what type of deals were being done. And what, and more about Barron in general, too, is is there any other connections with crypto with the mean coins with all of these things that we're hearing about where Trump made all this money and other people? You know, we're screwed over
these are lots of questions that people have. Do you think that if Democrats take control of the house will be seeing not just what your letters asking about, but more oversight and questions into Barron, maybe even subpoenaing Barron directly for hearings? Democrats are preparing to be as aggressive as possible on day one. We are going to be looking to tackle corruption. We are going
to be conducting oversight like you have never seen before. I'm really excited that we have some
really stellar leaders who are currently ranking members who will be, you know, chairs of committees. I mean, I'm, I'm so grateful that we have Robert Garcia at the helm of the oversight committee. And as chair, I know, you know, with the work that we're already doing now, we are preparing what are the, what's the laundry list of subpoenas that we're going to have ready to go at our first hearing to move forward on because the amount of corruption is staggering. It's unprecedented,
never seen corruption like this before. And so it's going to be a ton of work and we are going to bring these people under oath in front of the American people, no more behind closed doors and, you know, trying to let people get away with the bare minimum when it comes to accountability.
“This is going to be very serious. And I think you're going to see that across committees”
in Congress when Democrats are in power. So you think we can see subpoenas of the Trump Kids Eric Don Jr. Baron, if that's where the evidence leads? I hope to issue one of those myself. Absolutely. I mean, these are, there's no question. I mean, look at Donald Trump Jr. as one example, Donald Trump Jr. has been at the forefront and has made record profits because he is a partner at a venture capital firm that continues to invest in companies that are getting
contracts from federal government, oftentimes no bid contracts from the federal government at the direction of senior administration officials and who knows, maybe Donald Trump himself. I mean, this is unprecedented levels of corruption. Like, and the contrast between what they're
Doing to the American people is what makes it even more egregious.
making billions of dollars, which should in and of itself be reason to hold them accountable and prosecute them. But at the same time, they're ripping away health care from Americans. They're giving billions of dollars to ICE that is terrorizing people across this country.
There's food assistance cuts like we've never seen before. They're refusing to lower the cost
of living for American people while they get richer and richer and richer because their data's in the White House and their data's the president. And their data actually uses his platform every single day to manipulate markets. We've seen that in this war to talk about companies or issues that his sons are investing in. So yes, absolutely. They were there
“will be subpoenas and these people will come before Congress. I think Donald Trump himself needs”
to come testify, especially before the oversight committee as it pertains to the Epstein files. I think the work ahead, I will tell you is there's no lack of it.
Finally, before we go, you've been outspoken about Donald Trump's rapid cognitive and physical
decline, which is a serious national security issue. The whole world sees it. I know some in our press are afraid to call it out, but it's just so obvious and very disturbing before we go and love to hear your thoughts. I've been concerned for a long time about this and I'm really not
“saying it lightly. I think there have been a couple of moments that I have found the most alarming”
as it pertains to Donald Trump's cognitive decline. I think we've seen a very clearly with how he's handled his illegal war in Iran and look at the way he has the types of the type of language that he's used. On April 7, after six weeks of bombing Iran and escalation in the Middle East, he threatened to end the civilisation that night and we have seen very apocalyptic language from him ever since that as well when negotiations aren't going his way and that is coupled with somebody
who's spending hours every single night posting. Sometimes dozens of posts on true social, he seems to be creating a lot of AI images of himself and his family. There's been so many I can't even keep track of. He's doing this a three-four a year. Then during the day, he'll fall asleep in meetings and I mean how many photos of him and videos of him have we now seen where there's senior cabinet officials behind him and he's dozing off. I mean this is a national security risk.
This is the guy with the nuclear codes. This is the guy talking to foreign leaders and charged with keeping American safe. I don't feel safe with this kind of leader at the home of the
“country right now. I don't know how you could feel safe. So it's incredibly dangerous and that's why”
I was one of the first I believe to call for the 25th Amendment and recognizing that's a long shot with the kind of cabinet that we have. But the 25th Amendment was created for a time like this that we could never have conceived of. Congresswoman Ansari, thanks for joining us. We appreciate
