Glad to 6 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 3: have you joining the program today. One of the rules 7 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 3: of engagement for this program is if you want to 8 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 3: send me a text message to tell me anything or 9 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 3: ask me anything, the number is three three one zero 10 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 3: three three three one zero three, keyword Micha or Michael, 11 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 3: and then go follow me on x at Michael Brown USA, 12 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 3: or if you prefer Facebook or Instagram, you can do 13 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 3: that too. So earlier this week during the weekday program, 14 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 3: I gave kudos to the Department of Justice and in 15 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 3: particular the Attorney General Pam Bondy, for finally convening a 16 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 3: grand jury in the Southern District of the Free State 17 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 3: of Florida to investigate the alleged crimes of former CIA 18 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 3: director John Brennan. And during that I highlighted a few 19 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 3: things that I was kind of speculating about. I was 20 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 3: getting frustrated with the seemingly plotting progress made on that 21 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 3: front by the Attorney General, but in her defense, I 22 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 3: think we now have grand juries going after John Brennan, 23 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 3: former CIA director, James Comey, former FBI director, and John Bolton, 24 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 3: former National Security Advisor ambassador to the United Nations. And 25 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 3: those are just the ones that we know about. It's 26 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 3: entirely possible that there are similar grand jury efforts being 27 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,919 Speaker 3: undertaken that target some of the myriad other deep state 28 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 3: snakes who helped execute the four year long cudetais against 29 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 3: the Trump one point zero presidency. The reality, the reality 30 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 3: of our justice system is that the wheels of justice 31 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 3: really do and he turns slowly, but once they are activated, 32 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: they tend to grind exceedingly fine. It's slow, but it's 33 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 3: not as slow as it takes sometimes to get to 34 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 3: the point where we are today. But it's very fine 35 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 3: in the sense that they they're now subject to the 36 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 3: rules of civil procedure, the rules of criminal procedure, the 37 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 3: rules of evidence. They're subject to all the procedural things 38 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 3: they have to do. And I'm fine with that. I'm 39 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 3: totally fine with watching those wheels grind against Bretaan, comby 40 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 3: In and Bolton into little chunks of whatever, and I 41 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: I don't even care if they spend time in prison. 42 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 3: I just want some accountability. Now, prison may be the 43 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 3: only way to hold them accountable, but certainly it would 44 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: end their careers to be found guilty on any of 45 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: these charges. She just kind of like clockwork by the 46 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 3: end of the day. By the end of the week, 47 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 3: subpoenas were flying out faster than air traffic controllers who 48 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 3: aren't getting paid could keep up with. Because we learned 49 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 3: of two more major grand jury investigation taking place in 50 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 3: other jurisdictions, but also related to bringing the bad actors 51 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 3: within the Department of Justice over the past the entire 52 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 3: ten years, bringing them to justice. And I'm gonna explain something. First, 53 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 3: I wasn't speculating, and it wasn't any sort of insider knowledge, 54 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 3: but it was based on some other factors, my idea 55 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 3: that maybe some of these were coming pattern recognition related 56 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: to information that was already in the public domain, a 57 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 3: recognition as a lawyer myself that the wheels of justice 58 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: do turn slowly when they are properly applied by truly 59 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 3: diligent law enforcement officials and prosecutors. And then, third, and 60 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 3: probably most importantly, is I have a presumption, an honest presumption. 61 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 3: That's the director of the FBI, Cash Betel, and the 62 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 3: Attorney General Pam BONDI have been operating in good faith, 63 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: and they actually deserve a few more months of grace 64 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: and getting their arms around what are truly very highly 65 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 3: complex and pressure jobs that they hold. You also want 66 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: to take consideration another factor if you're going to go 67 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 3: after some of these people who are powerful, who are 68 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 3: interconnected in inside the Beltway, interconnected into the swamp with 69 00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 3: Lord knows what kind of connections they have withes even 70 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 3: still within the FBI and the Department of Justice, or 71 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: for that matter, within the CIA itself or all the 72 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 3: other intel agencies, or for that matter, even foreign intel agencies. 73 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 3: I can just speak from personal experience that once you've 74 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 3: operated inside that system I have, and I don't say 75 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: this to brag, but my so called rolodex, which is 76 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 3: actually just my iPhone now, the contacts are amazing. The 77 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 3: intertwining of just being under Secretary of Full Land Security 78 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 3: with all the Intel agencies, the Pentagon, the White House, 79 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 3: all of the satellite agencies and departments around the White House. 80 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 3: Even some twenty years later, those connections are still there. 81 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 3: You still know those people. Occasionally I still communicate with them, 82 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: and I recognize that if you're in that position, as 83 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 3: Pambondi and Cash Patel are, that you too know that 84 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 3: the intertwining of relationships that developed, whether you spend one 85 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 3: year or like I did almost six years, or like 86 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: Brennan and Kmy and the others have their entire freaking lifetimes, 87 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 3: that intertwining is very, very substantial. It's a tightly woven 88 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 3: piece of cloth. And so if you're going to go 89 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 3: after if you're going to pull in that little string 90 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: that's slew somewhere on the shirt or on the suit jacket, 91 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 3: you know it's going to start unraveling like crazy. So 92 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 3: you've got to be very very careful that whatever you 93 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 3: present to a grand jury, whatever you decide that you're 94 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 3: going to prosecute, that you have the proverbial ducks all 95 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 3: in a row. And I know I've been frustrated with 96 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 3: Patel and Bondiat multiple points, but it's important to keep 97 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 3: in mind that both have repeatedly advised us to be 98 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 3: patient and that it was important to do things the 99 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 3: right way if we really want to see any of 100 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 3: those deep state rats really brought to genuine American justice, 101 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 3: and I've always been willing to give them the benefit 102 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: of the doubt. I've never served on a federal grand jury, 103 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 3: never served on a jury at all, been witnesses in cases, 104 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 3: I've been litigant in cases, and I've been in front 105 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 3: of federal grand juries before testifying about issues going on 106 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 3: about corruption. So I'm and again, having practiced law for 107 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 3: better part of my life, I'm well aware of how 108 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 3: plotting the progress of these endeavors can be. Now. Cash Pentel, 109 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 3: the director of the FBI, has repeatedly told us to 110 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 3: be patient in almost all those public statements and in 111 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 3: a lot of the interviews that he's conducted since us 112 00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 3: assuming the rains at the FBI, and his record to 113 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 3: public service indicates that he is by and large genuinely 114 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 3: a straight shooter who is on the right side of history, 115 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 3: and I think deserves a presumption of grace absent proof 116 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 3: to the contrary. Now, I will just say I'm always 117 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: open to proof to the contrary, and I'm certainly willing 118 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 3: to look at it. I'm not searching it out, I'm 119 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 3: watching for it. Bondi's record not quite so clear, but 120 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 3: President Trump has surrounded her with deputies like Janeine pierro 121 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 3: Ed Martin Todd Blanche. Their very own records are really 122 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 3: strong in that regard. So while we've got movement here, 123 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 3: I caution you that the movement's exciting. The movement indicates 124 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 3: that progress is being made. Let the wheels grind. So 125 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 3: the Weekend with Michael Brown.

Now, remember that 148 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 3: particular investigation, Crossfire Hurricane served as the beginning for the 149 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 3: long running effort inside the Department of Justice and the 150 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 3: CIA to do one simple, but I believe very treasonous activity, 151 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 3: and that was to take down a sitting president. 152 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 4: Tonight, just in the past few minutes, Fox News Digital 153 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 4: is now reporting a federal grand jury has subpoenaed former 154 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 4: CIA director John Brennan, former FBI officials Peter Struck and 155 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 4: Lisa Page, as well as others. It is part of 156 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 4: the Justice Department's investigation into the origins of the Trump 157 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 4: Russia probe. Sources say the Trio were served with federal 158 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 4: subpoenas today. Law enforcement sources also say up to thirty 159 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 4: subpoenas will be issued in the coming days related to 160 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,479 Speaker 4: this investigation. 161 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: We'll follow that tonight too. New Jersey teenagers are facing 162 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: charges up. 163 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 3: To thirty that's a lot. 164 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: Now. 165 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: Fox later quoted sources who claim that the grand jury 166 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 3: will be issuing subpoenas to those thirty individuals in the 167 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 3: coming days. I don't know what all it means, but 168 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 3: I want to give you a little comparing contrast for 169 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 3: a moment when I say that I want these wheels 170 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 3: to grind steadily but not too rapidly. Do you remember 171 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 3: the guy I forget? In fact, I think he worked 172 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 3: for the Department of Justice that was charged with assaulting. 173 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 3: I think an ice officer, or maybe it was a 174 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 3: DC cop. I don't remember. It doesn't matter which it's 175 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 3: just a law enforcement individual because he threw a subway 176 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 3: sandwich at them. Do you remember that At the time 177 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 3: that I occurred, that that occurred, I thought, Okay, now 178 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 3: we're overreaching. I don't think you should throw sandwiches at cops. 179 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 3: I don't care whether it's a six foot or twelve 180 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: foot subway. I don't care. You don't throw sandwiches at cops. 181 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 3: But I also think that indicting him and trying to 182 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 3: charge him with some sort of assault with a deadly 183 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 3: weapon or an assault with a sub I don't know. 184 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 3: I just think it was improper, and of course it 185 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 3: was rejected. He was acquitted on the charges. So I 186 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 3: just want this team to be cognizant of you already 187 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 3: have a high hurdle because you're going after people who 188 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 3: are very alone in the intel community. You are very 189 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 3: well connected. You have a grand jury that's going to 190 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 3: want to see the receipts, They're gonna want to see 191 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 3: the evidence. And I know many people like to use 192 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 3: the old trope about you know you can. It's really 193 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 3: easy to indict a ham sandwich, but it's not so 194 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 3: easy to indict somebody for throwing a ham sandwich, like 195 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 3: we've learned with that guy that threw it at a cop. 196 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 3: So work your way through these cases methodically and make 197 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 3: sure you have the evidence ready to go. Bondy and 198 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 3: her team have also convened a grand jury in Virginia 199 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 3: now that's investigating x FBI director for Christopher Ray, and 200 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 3: that's related to allegations of hiding documents, substruction of justice, 201 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 3: and line the Congress well under oath. That investigation now 202 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 3: of the Western District of Virginia is ran by a 203 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 3: former top Durham investigator. A key document that Ray hid 204 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: and tried to destroy is the Durham of Pendix, the 205 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 3: central document in the Grand Conspiracy case. It's underway in Florida. 206 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 3: I want you to I want you to understand that 207 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 3: that bothers me. If the person who is running that 208 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 3: investigation is a former top Durham investigator for Durham and 209 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 3: Ray is accused of trying to hide and destroy the 210 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 3: Durham appendings, that gives me pause. It's the Hillary plan 211 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 3: to tie President Trump to Russian intelligence to try to 212 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 3: distract her email scandal to help her in the twenty 213 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 3: sixteen election, and then, according to two people familiar with 214 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 3: that investigation, the Western District of Virginia is leading the 215 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 3: inquiry related to the alleged destruction of Miss Henley of 216 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 3: documents connected with the Durham Special Council investigation. The investigation 217 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 3: is looking at multiple potential subjects from the top leadership 218 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 3: of the FBI between twenty twenty and twenty twenty four, 219 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 3: at the time that Ray was director. The investigation appears 220 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 3: to be intersecting as well with the recent declassification of 221 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 3: part of the written report by John Durham who examined 222 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 3: investigators who handled sensitive political investigations around Trump and Clinton 223 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 3: in twenty sixteen. Now, the people that are reporting this, 224 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 3: which you can find over on X, obviously have some 225 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 3: excellent contacts inside the Department of Justice and maybe even 226 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 3: the FBI, and I hope they are way ahead of 227 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 3: public events and all this stuff, and I hope they 228 00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 3: stayed that way for months ahead. And finally, Steve Bannon 229 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 3: says that the Department of Justice investigations are not limited 230 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 3: to government officials who were part of the election rigging 231 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 3: and coup efforts. In fact, he says. 232 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 5: This, John Brennan is one of the key figures in 233 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 5: what really is a massive and sprawling investigation as envisioned 234 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 5: down in South Florida. And the reason it's down there, 235 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 5: and that's new that that we're reporting today that the 236 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 5: US Attorney in South Florida is leading this investigation is 237 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 5: because that's where the mar Lago search was. And so 238 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 5: what they're trying to do here is knit together what 239 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 5: they see as an ongoing conspiracy to violate Donald Trump's 240 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 5: civil rights that began with the Russia investigation and continued 241 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 5: on from Obama administration to Biden administration and then somehow 242 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 5: includes the Jack Smith investigations. It's this unifiled, unified field 243 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 5: theory of persecuting Donald Trump. And John Brennan, of course, 244 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 5: was a central figure in the preparation of that twenty 245 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 5: seventeen assessment into Russian election interference. And whe's the FBI's 246 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 5: Crossfire Hurricane investigation vision to that. How this all shakes out, Katie, 247 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 5: is anyone's guest, because you know, we've not seen any 248 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 5: evidence connecting any of these things, let alone any wrongdoing. 249 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 5: And in point of fact, as you well know, John Durham, 250 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 5: the special counsel appointed in the Trump administration, looked exhaustively, 251 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 5: particularly at the Russian Interference assessment and at the FBI's 252 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 5: Crossfire Hurricane investigation, and found no criminal wrongdoing by John Brennan. 253 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: Or any other major figure. 254 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 5: But here the Justice Department is trying to take another 255 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 5: crack at this, as we had, I think. 256 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 3: And what do they have to say in regards to that, Well, 257 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 3: hang tight, you'll hear it on the other side. I'll 258 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 3: be right back. 259 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: Tonight. Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA director 260 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: talk show host Michael Brown. 261 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 2: Brownie, No, Brownie, You're doing a heck of a job 262 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 2: the Weekend with Michael Brown. 263 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Weekend with Michael Brown.

Keyword, 266 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 3: Mike or Michael, tell me anything, ask me anything.

So we're walking through these new 269 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 3: subpoenas that have been issued, particularly it came out Friday, 270 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 3: and what they might really mean. Well, over at Steve 271 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 3: Bannon's war room, they're talking to a couple of people 272 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 3: and Bannon says that the Department of Justices investigation is 273 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 3: not limited to government officials who were part of that 274 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 3: election rigging and coup effort. And we were just walking 275 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 3: through the clip in which they were doing the setup. 276 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 3: So let's start with that clip that it just run 277 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 3: through so you can hear what they have to say. 278 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 5: The key figures and what really is a massive and 279 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 5: sprawling investigation as envisioned down in South Florida, and the 280 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 5: reason it's down there and that's new that that's we're 281 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 5: reporting today that the US Attorney in South Florida is 282 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 5: leading this investigation is because that's where the mar Lago 283 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 5: search was. And so what they're trying to do here 284 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 5: is knit together what they see as an ongoing conspiracy 285 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 5: to violate Donald Trump's civil rights that began with the 286 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 5: Russia investigation and continued on from Obama administration to Biden 287 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 5: administration and then somehow includes the Jack Smith investigations. It's 288 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 5: this unifiled, unified field theory of persecuting Donald Trump. And 289 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 5: John Brennan, of course, was a central figure in the 290 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 5: preparation of that twenty seventeen assessment into Russian election interference, 291 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 5: and of course the FBI has crossed Fire Hurricane Investigation 292 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 5: fision to that how this all shakes out, Katie, is 293 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 5: anyone's guest, because we've not seen any evidence connecting any 294 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 5: of these things, let alone any wrongdoing. And in point 295 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 5: of fact, as you well know, John Durham, the Special 296 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 5: Council appointed in the Trump administration, looked exhaustively, particularly at 297 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 5: the Russian Interference assessment and at the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane investigation, 298 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 5: and found no criminal wrongdoing by John Brennan. 299 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: Or any other major figure. 300 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 5: But here the Justice Department is trying to take another crack. 301 00:19:59,080 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: At this as we had. 302 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 6: I think what Ken has just postulated is maybe the 303 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 6: most reasonable theory I have heard about how the Justice 304 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 6: Department could prosecute this. And what I mean by reasonable 305 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 6: is that by all accounts, John Brennan left government more 306 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 6: than eight nine years ago, most of the crimes with 307 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 6: which one could conceivably think of John Brennan even being 308 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 6: remotely charged with would be time barred. The only way 309 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 6: that the Department of Justice could potentially get around that 310 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 6: is to charge this overarching conspiracy where the last thing 311 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 6: done in furtherance of that conspiracy happened in relatively recent memory. 312 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: Otherwise, if you were to just look at the facts. 313 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 7: Yes, lady, just watch War Room. We explained that nine 314 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 7: months ago. You're just getting an msbc's audience going to 315 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 7: understand they ain't been paying attention. 316 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:51,719 Speaker 1: Better start paying attention. 317 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 7: People at MSNBC are going to be indicted, no doubt, 318 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 7: going to be indicted part of the conspiracy. 319 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: But to make sure you put in high. 320 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 7: Relief those that have been running these operations against President 321 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 7: Trump and the MAGA movement and the country and the 322 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 7: country been at this too powerful for too long. 323 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: They're about to get their come up and. 324 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 7: Gonna they're gonna be hiring attorneys and they're gonna be 325 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 7: spending millions of dollars and all of their life is 326 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 7: going to be focused on this. 327 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: Keep themselves out of prison. 328 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 7: Bolton's going to prison, Comy's going to prison, Brennan's going 329 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 7: to prison, Weisman's going to prison, McCabe's going to prison. 330 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 7: I can go down the drum list that got my 331 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 7: cheat sheet. Sorry, guys, Trump came back. You never thought 332 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 7: that would happen. You tried everything, bankrupting uh, put him 333 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 7: in all these false charges, all these false felonies, to 334 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 7: put him into prison for three hundred years, and then 335 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 7: finally to try to assassinate him, to attempt to assassinate 336 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 7: None of it work. 337 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 3: And so I'm not a big fan of Steve Bannon 338 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 3: and I don't necessarily believe that they're going to go 339 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 3: to prison. But sometimes that come up and is not 340 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 3: necessarily prison. It may result in a conviction in which 341 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 3: a judge in a jury does not impose a sentence. 342 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 3: But they will have to do what Trump's done, and 343 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 3: that is defend themselves and again, I'm not asking for 344 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 3: just malicious prosecution. I'm not advocating that whatsoever. But I 345 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 3: am advocating that if you want to convene a grand jury, 346 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 3: because you do believe and MSNBC is right about one thing, 347 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 3: to tie everything together and to avoid the statute limitations, 348 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 3: you have to have one final act that still is 349 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 3: not barred by the statute limitation in order to move 350 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 3: the case forward. That's probably fairly easy to find because 351 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 3: everything would have continued up until and perhaps even after 352 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 3: the election of Donald Trump a year ago. So Bannon 353 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 3: is right that they are certainly going to have to 354 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 3: expend money, time, resources, the energy, the emotional told everything 355 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 3: that they did to Trump is not going to happen here, 356 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 3: and if it is, if there is a reasonable legal 357 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 3: basis for doing so, regardless of now, I would like 358 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 3: to see a result in an indictment, but I'm not 359 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 3: out here begging and hoping and praying for jail time. 360 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 3: I just want the accountability and if that means a conviction, 361 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 3: and you are because you're the former director of the CIA, 362 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 3: you only get probation, you know what. I'm actually okay 363 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 3: with that. I'm sure some of you would disagree, and 364 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 3: you want to see hard time. You want them to 365 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 3: see You want to see them, you know, in Rikers Island, 366 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 3: although it's not a federal you'd like to see them 367 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 3: on Riker's Island. Well, I really don't care if they 368 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 3: do or not, because I understand that they're going to 369 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 3: go through just crap, and that is they've got to 370 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 3: find the money, the resources, They got to spend the 371 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 3: time and the energy defending themselves, just like Donald Trump did. 372 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 3: And that sends a signal to everybody else who wants 373 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 3: to try to play these kinds of games in DC 374 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 3: we have. You know, it's kind of interesting. I was 375 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 3: just looking at my ex account during the break and 376 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 3: somebody accuses me of simply being a tool for the Uniparty. Well, 377 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 3: you can accuse me of whatever. I'm a use. I'm 378 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 3: accustomed being accused of a lot of things. Actually, just 379 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 3: go bite me. But you know what I am not. 380 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 3: I am not a tool for the Uniparty. And I 381 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 3: call balls and strikes on this program ideal in the 382 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 3: real world, and this is a great example of that. 383 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 3: I believe that if they're going to pursue indictments, there 384 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 3: is something there, something If it causes them to have 385 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 3: to defend themselves. I'm all for that. If it results 386 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 3: in an indictment and a conviction, I'm all for that. 387 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 3: If it results in jail or probation, I don't care. 388 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 3: I just want the accountability because if and I'll tell 389 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 3: you what you could throw up against me in just 390 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 3: a second, if you are found guilty, you will then 391 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 3: have paid the price because you will never work again 392 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 3: for all the crimes that you committed, even if you 393 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 3: did not serve jail time. The only thing that makes 394 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 3: me concerned about all of this is voter reactions, because 395 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 3: go back to the very beginning of the program when 396 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 3: we talked about Virginia and New Jersey. If Virginia is 397 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 3: more than willing to elect an attorney general who literally, 398 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 3: in text messages, called for the killing of the former 399 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 3: speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, and when try 400 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 3: someone of another party, of the Republican Party, tried to 401 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 3: convince him to back off, shouldn't be saying those things? 402 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 3: Don't you want to take that back? And said he 403 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 3: doubled down? Oh, and only would I kill him? I 404 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 3: think we all to take two bullets and kills two 405 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 3: children only until their children die. Will will they ever 406 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 3: suffer any consequences? Know what it feels like to be, 407 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 3: you know, be put in this position that disqualifies him, 408 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 3: in my opinion, from any rational person, and of course 409 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 3: I used the word rational, from any rational person ever 410 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 3: voting for that individual to be the attorney general. Yet 411 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 3: they did, interestingly, and I'll say this one more time, 412 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 3: if he had done those things and then applied for 413 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 3: a job in the Attorney General's office to be these 414 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 3: you know, like a deputy Attorney General or the Attorney 415 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 3: General for the criminal Division, he would have been disqualified. 416 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 3: If he'd applied for a job in a prosecutor's office, 417 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 3: he should have been disqualified, would have been disqualified. So 418 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 3: to tie it back to Brennan, Peter Struck, Lisa Page 419 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 3: at all. Yes, they will pay a price. The question 420 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 3: is whether or not they will pay the price. Patience 421 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 3: is a virtue, something I'm not very good at. So 422 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 3: the subpoenas are breaking out all over and I'm actually, 423 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 3: frankly in a really sad way, but also glad. I'm 424 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 3: looking forward to watching the justice system slowly grind all 425 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 3: the remaining lifespans of these deep state creatures into the 426 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 3: dustment of history. I want accountability, and we know, beyond 427 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 3: any shadow of a doubt that the links of this 428 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 3: grand conspiracy chain, I believe, run all the way up 429 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 3: to the Oval Office occupied in twenty sixteen by Brack 430 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 3: Hussein Obama. What an amazing time to be watching politics 431 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 3: and our culture. I'll be right back. Hey, welcome back 432 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 3: to the Weekend with Michael Brown. Glad have you with me. 433 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,479 Speaker 3: I appreciate you tuning in, as I'd like to remind 434 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 3: you every weekend. I appreciate this audience. I appreciate you 435 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 3: tuning in, appreciate you listening on the weekend, and I 436 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 3: also appreciate you doing all the things I ask you 437 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 3: to do, engaging on social media, downloading the podcast, listening 438 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 3: to the weekday program, all of that. I sincerely appreciate 439 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 3: the effort that you put out, so I try to 440 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 3: do the best I can to make it entertaining for you. Now, 441 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 3: Sidney Sweeney is back in the news because the news 442 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 3: keeps making the news about Sydney. It's hilarious. I hadn't 443 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 3: thought about her since the whole genes ad. I just 444 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 3: didn't cross my mind the last time I thought about 445 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 3: her was. I was in a shopping mall in Denver 446 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 3: and I enter by a side door, and I'm walking 447 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 3: down the hallway and I see an American Eagle store 448 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 3: and I see the Sydney Sweeney jeans about, you know, 449 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 3: the ad for her genes, about how she's got really 450 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 3: great genes. And then I noticed the people having their 451 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 3: own kids get pictures, and kids were taking selfies and 452 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 3: everything in front of it, and I kind of laughed 453 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 3: about it and thought, well, there's American culture for you 454 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 3: right there. And then Gentlemen's Cordy coming, Gentleman's Quarterly of 455 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 3: all people come around and bring it right back into 456 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 3: the news again. Now GQ, which is the way you 457 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 3: really talk about if you're cool, you really talk about 458 00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 3: Gentlemen's Cordy. 459 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: That's just GQ. 460 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 3: Now, that is ostensibly geared toward gentlemen who look at, oh, 461 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 3: I don't know, as Sydney Sweeney, and they read the interviews. 462 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 3: You know why just I buy a Playboy because I 463 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 3: read the interviews. I don't look at the fake pictures. Now. 464 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 3: Women have always and I think will continue to work 465 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 3: for GQ. But in the clone samples, so people like 466 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 3: Michael use it for the clone samples. Okay, I got that. 467 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 3: I never thought about that. I guess I never subscribed 468 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 3: to gqu's I never thought about doing that. But Catherine 469 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 3: Stoffel works for GQ, and women have always worked there, 470 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 3: probably always will and that's fine. But I don't think 471 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 3: that this reporter, or I would say, let's put it positively, 472 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 3: she seems to not understand what gentlemen want and like 473 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 3: inside American women right now, I think there are two 474 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 3: wolves and Sweeney is one of them, and this reporter 475 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 3: is the other. 476 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: The Wolke left. 477 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 3: Wants to paint Sweeney, who is an beautiful, entrepreneurial actress, 478 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 3: that she must be the gateway to white supremacist America. 479 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,959 Speaker 3: In the interview, Sweeney says that the response to her 480 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 3: American Eagle Great Geans ad was surreal, and I'm sure 481 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:27,959 Speaker 3: that before her it probably was, and I think probably 482 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 3: she thinks that it was surreal because the king of 483 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 3: culture in America, Donald Trump, commented about it. But that 484 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 3: wasn't enough for Catherine Stolefel, the reporter over at GQ. 485 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 3: She wanted to scalp. I'm literally in jeans and a 486 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 3: T shirt, like every day of my life. Sweeney said, well, 487 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 3: same here, I am too, not T shirt, but just 488 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 3: a white un tuk white shirt. 489 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: Button down. 490 00:31:55,360 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 3: Jeans are unconventional, uncontroversial. Jeans are off or awesome, says 491 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 3: the reporter. I like your genes. Sweeney responds, you look 492 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 3: great in your genes. There it goes, but then it's 493 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 3: back and forth, back and forth, and it's kind of nauseating. 494 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 3: And then the reporter says, but I think I know 495 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 3: how you're going to answer this, but I'm going to 496 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 3: ask anyway. I mean, the President tweeted about the genes 497 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 3: ad Now Sweeney's face, she's been giggling, but it's beginning 498 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 3: to kind of drop. Her animated eyes are going stone cold, 499 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 3: the smile beginning to disappear. The laughter has left her eyes, 500 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 3: and Sweeney says, yeah, it was surreal and it would 501 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 3: be totally human. I would be thankful that somebody had 502 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 3: my back in public, and conveniently, some very powerful people 503 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 3: had my back in public. And now the reporter sees 504 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 3: the opening. I wondered if you felt that way hmm pause. 505 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 3: I don't think that it's not, Sweeney says, it's not 506 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 3: like I didn't have that feeling. But I wasn't thinking 507 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 3: of it like that, of any of it. I kind 508 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 3: of just put my phone away. I was filming every day. 509 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 3: I'm filming you for you, so I'm working like sixteen 510 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 3: hour days. I don't really bring my phone on set. 511 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 3: I work and then I go home and I go 512 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 3: to sleep. So I didn't really see a lot of it. 513 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 3: But Stowful, the reporter continues, Well, You've made a really 514 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 3: good case with keeping your thoughts in your life separate 515 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 3: from that work. But the risk is that you know, 516 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 3: there's a chance that somebody will get some idea about 517 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 3: what you think about certain issues. In other words, if 518 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 3: you don't respond, if you don't say anything, then people 519 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 3: are going to impugne to you or impewe to you 520 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 3: things that you may not be thinking. And so she's 521 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 3: trying to get Sweeney confessed that I really thought this 522 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 3: was all about white supremacy. And it is at that 523 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 3: point if you watch this interview, that you can see 524 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 3: in Sweeney's eye that she truly hates the person to 525 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 3: whom she's committed an hour of her life for a 526 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 3: stupid interview. 527 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: Hmm. 528 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 3: She says, what ordering a drone strike? In her mind, 529 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 3: I'm gonna bomb the hell out of you and stuffel 530 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 3: insurgent says, well, do you worry about that? And Sweeney 531 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 3: just says no. That tells me more about Sidney Sweeney 532 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 3: than any gene ad or anything else. But the reporter 533 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 3: doesn't stop. This is the cabal in action. If you 534 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 3: have not watched this interview, I encourage you to go 535 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 3: find the Sidney Sweeney stoufful Ad on stuf Will just 536 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,919 Speaker 3: like the frozen food stuff the stuffel Ad and watch 537 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 3: it because she's really pissed at this point, and so 538 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 3: Will thinks she's got a gotcha moment. The criticism of 539 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 3: the content was that basically, in this political climate, like 540 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 3: white people shouldn't joke about genetic superiority like that was 541 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 3: kind of the criticism broadly speak. And since you were 542 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 3: talking about this, I just wanted to give you an 543 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 3: opportunity to talk about that, like supremacy specifically, And Sweeney says, 544 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 3: I think that when I have an issue that I 545 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 3: want to speak about, people will hear. And that's why 546 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 3: I think Sidney Sweeney is what you and I have 547 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 3: been begging for from Hollywood stars for decades. Someone who 548 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,439 Speaker 3: looks good, someone who works hard, shows up on time, 549 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,319 Speaker 3: stays sober, keeps their opinions basically to themselves, and it 550 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 3: makes gobs of money for themselves in the studio by 551 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,439 Speaker 3: making movies and pretending to be somebody else. 552 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:44,760 Speaker 1: Wow. 553 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 3: Now the reporter is a great example of what we're 554 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 3: sick of, and that's the dying media class that she represents. 555 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 3: So one of them is today's Internet main character, and 556 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 3: the other will be a main character in most of 557 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 3: our media lives for probably the next twenty years. So, 558 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 3: Sidney Sweeney, I'd just like to welcome you back to 559 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 3: the real world. I'd like to welcome you back into 560 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 3: the reality of You don't need to capitulate to them. 561 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,879 Speaker 3: You don't need to cow tell to them. You can 562 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 3: stand on your own two legs and just say, you 563 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 3: know what, if there's something I want people to know 564 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 3: what I think about something, I'll tell them and I 565 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 3: don't need some little pissant reporter like you asking me 566 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 3: about it. So, Sidney Sweeney, whom I really had no 567 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 3: idea about until the gene ad, Yeah, you're my girl. 568 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 3: Go for it. 569 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,399 Speaker 1: The girl go for it.
