The discussion touches on the original 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund managed by Kenneth Feinberg, which distributed $7 billion. The new law is seen as a threat to diplomatic relations and a potential catalyst for exposing Saudi financial ties to U.S. entities.

The hosts highlight a conflict of interest, noting that the individual responsible for doles out compensation is being paid directly by the company liable for the damages, with no written jurisdictional oversight from the administration.

Additionally, Congress voted to end the moratorium on offshore drilling, a move the hosts claim benefits BP by squeezing out smaller competitors who could not afford the 90-day delay. They also note that the original moratorium was based on allegedly falsified scientific testimony.

Kenneth Feinberg, who managed the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund, is appointed to oversee the payouts, while Jamie Gorelick, a former 9/11 Commission member, serves as BP's lead attorney. The hosts suggest this "cabal" is using the 9/11 playbook to limit BP's liability and prevent future lawsuits.

In that role, he required families to waive their right to sue the government in exchange for payments. Questions are raised about why GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt's pay remains untouched despite GE Capital receiving government bailouts.
