1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Well, if there's one scandal the media wants you to

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: go all in on, it is clearly that they believe

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: that Pete Headsets should no longer be in charge at

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: the DoD and that others should be fired because there

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: was a journalist that was inadvertently put on a text thread.

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: They're also changing the definition of what you know classified

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: information actually is.

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 2: They claimed it was war plans.

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: Now they're also changing yet again what that actually means. Now,

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: Pete Headgset has come out saying no units and no

11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: locations were shared on the signal chat. Fighting back about

12
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: what is actually going on the media, he did say,

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: change the definition of the lead Signal Group chat to

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: quote unquote attack plans because they know it's not war

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: plans again, saying no units, no locations, no routes, no

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: flight pass, no sources, no methods, and no classified information. Now,

17
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: he got off a plane in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he

18
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: was visiting obviously the bases of military facilities there, and

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: here is what he'd had to say to the media.

20
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 3: Beautiful, Dave, when we're on the road talking to the

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 3: troops and actually in real time re establishing deterrence. You see,

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: that's what President Trump has charged the Defense Department with

23
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: doing reviving the warrior ethos, rebuilding the military, which we're

24
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: doing in real time, and re establishing deterrence. And that's

25
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 3: why we're heading out into the Indo Pacific to talk

26
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: to our allies and partners and meet with the troops

27
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 3: and anybody that knows me.

28
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: For years and knows President Trump knows how much we

29
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 4: love the warriors. That's what it's about the men and

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 4: women who serve, who.

31
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 5: Do the tough, difficult, gritty, dirty work that most Americans

32
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 5: will never know about. But we have the privilege of

33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 5: seeing and understanding the courage and skill of what they do.

34
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 4: I'm going to go see that for the next couple

35
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 4: of days.

36
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: We also have seen it on full display and what's

37
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: been done to the who the terrorists and what they're

38
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: trying to do close freedom of navigation, So you see,

39
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: under the Biden administration, we let our troops and our

40
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 3: ships and both warships and commercial ships get shot at

41
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 3: to no consequence.

42
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: What does that look like. That looks like weakness.

43
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: And what President Trump has said is peace through strength

44
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: is back.

45
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: We will re establish deterrence.

46
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: That's not acceptable and our ongoing campaign against the Houthis

47
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: has been devastatingly effective. Now, as I said to this

48
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 3: group a couple of times on this trip, now, as

49
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: we moved to the Indo Pacific.

50
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 4: To do our job, which is what we're here to do,

51
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 4: nobody's texting war plans.

52
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 5: Well.

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 4: I noticed this morning out came something that doesn't look

54
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 4: like war plans. And as a matter of.

55
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 3: Fact, they even change the title to attack.

56
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 4: Plans because they know it's not war plans.

57
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: There's no units, no locations, no routes, no flight paths,

58
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: no sources, no methods, no classified information.

59
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 4: You know who sees war plans.

60
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: I see them every single day.

61
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 4: I looked at them this morning. I looked at attack

62
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 4: plans this morning. You know who does attack plans and

63
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 4: war plans. Men like that Admiral right there, Caparo for the.

64
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: Indo Pacific, or Eric Carilla, our general in Sentcom.

65
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 4: They do attack plans and war plans, and.

66
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: Thank god we have those leaders who do it and

67
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 3: do it well, and our enemies know it. My job,

68
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: as it's said at top of that, everybody's seen it now,

69
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: Team Update is to provide updates in real time general

70
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: updates in real time keep everybody informed.

71
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 4: That's what I did. That's my job.

72
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: The warfighters will take the fight to the enemy, and

73
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 3: I love what they do. And with President Trump's leadership,

74
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: our enemies are on notice. We will have peace through strength,

75
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: and we'll keep putting our troops first.

76
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: Thank you very much. We're heading off.

77
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: They so there it is.

78
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: You can hear him saying no units, no locations, no routes,

79
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: no flight pass, no sources, no methods, no classified information.

80
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: Never let a crisis go to waste, though, that's the

81
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: Democratic Party motto. And they're now saying, well, we don't

82
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: care what you actually say. We know for damn sure

83
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: this is classified information. Senator Mark Warner going on CNN

84
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: doing exactly that, trying to turn this into some sort

85
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: of quote signal gate where people's heads roll.

86
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 6: All right, Senator, let's turn back to what, of course,

87
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 6: I know you have been focused on over the last

88
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 6: forty eight hours since we learned about this group chat.

89
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 6: It's like more than forty eight hours now. You heard

90
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 6: what Trump administration officials have been saying across the board

91
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 6: that there was no classified information that was in this chat.

92
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 6: Are they lying to the American people?

93
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 7: I don't think they're telling the truth and it doesn't

94
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 7: pass the smell test. Let me give you the two

95
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 7: pieces of this that are so obvious.

96
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 8: The policy dispute.

97
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 7: Between the vice president and the president and the back

98
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 7: and forth. That's the kind of information that intelligence services

99
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 7: literally Russia or China would kill for having that kind

100
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 7: of exposure to private conversations. Second, but even more trying,

101
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 7: the idea that the specific plans of when an attack

102
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 7: was going to be launched against the Hooties and the

103
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 7: ramification to them.

104
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 8: There is no way.

105
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 7: In hell, but that's not classified information, and anybody who

106
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 7: denies that.

107
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 8: Is either ignorant or trying to obscate. And let me

108
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 8: just bring it home.

109
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 7: I mean, we've got the USS Truman is the aircraft

110
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 7: carrier that's deployed in that region. It deploys from Norfolk, Virginia.

111
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 7: We've had outreach from family members who say, my son

112
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 7: or daughter safe flying in that region. If that information

113
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 7: had been given to the Hooties and they could have

114
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 7: turned their defensive mechanisms they have shot down American planes

115
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 7: or drones in the past, you know, we could.

116
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 8: Have had a tragedy here.

117
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 7: The mission in terms of the bombing was successful, granted,

118
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 7: but the idea that we would put American soldiers in

119
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 7: harm's way because this crowd was so careless and so

120
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 7: sloppy that they didn't communicate this on a secure channel

121
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 7: is jaw dropping.

122
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 8: And again, let's be clear, this is not the first time.

123
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 7: Two weeks into this administration they inadvertently revealed the identities

124
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 7: of about two hundred new CIA agents. How many of

125
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 7: those agents going to be able to be posted a

126
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 7: broad We've seen them, the Doge boys post.

127
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 8: A series of properties they thought the government should sell. Well,

128
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 8: one of those happened to be a classified sites.

129
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 7: Almost daily there's information that leaks out either from ignorant

130
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 7: rants or malfeasons from.

131
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 8: Those guys that don't always.

132
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 7: Make the news but are about violating Americans privacy rights.

133
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 7: So this administration's careless, sloppy towards the classified and frankly,

134
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 7: Americans private information is ranking.

135
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: Competence there it is, So it's just total incompetence, it's ignorance,

136
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: it's it is just something that no one can deny.

137
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: Now again, you go back to the reality.

138
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody agrees that it's not a good thing

139
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: to have a scumbag journalist on this text message threat,

140
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: but at the same time, was or classified information that

141
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: was shared. The answer is no, In fact, it was

142
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: real time information, which meant in essence that what you're

143
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: hearing about is going to be almost old news by

144
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: the time this journalist gets it, because it's like, hey,

145
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: here's where we are.

146
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: This is what we just did.

147
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: You look at the text messages again, which a scumbag

148
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: reporter has put out there for the world to see.

149
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: And I'm actually glad he did it, because after you

150
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: read it, you're actually like, that's it, Like, this is

151
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: where we are, and this is why, like you guys

152
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: are freaking out and losing your minds over this, We

153
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: understand it, but.

154
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: This is all there is to see here. And the

155
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: answer is yes.

156
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: Now, am I glad that this happened early on and

157
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: that hopefully it don't never happen again. Yes, but I

158
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: also know human beings do, in fact make mistakes. Are

159
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: you allowed to use signal this app with this type

160
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: of information? We also know from the CIA director that yes,

161
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: you are in fact allowed to use it. So here's

162
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: what I'll tell you. The Democrats are trying to get

163
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: something to stick right now. However they have to do it,

164
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: They're going to try to keep doing it.

165
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer today he.

166
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: Was out there attacking Donald Trump and Elon Musk, saying

167
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: they're eroding the American dream. The Senate Dems on the

168
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: Trump administration trying to make real changes that will make

169
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: an impact for all Americans on the issue of security,

170
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: yet again lying about that, going out there and saying

171
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is eroding the American dream.

172
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 2: Here Schumer, in his own words.

173
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 9: Trump and Musk are just eroding the American dream. They're

174
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 9: rigging the system for billionaires while stealing from the elderly,

175
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 9: from the disabled to cut taxes for their billionaire club.

176
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: So there it is right. Everybody else is evil. We're

177
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: the brilliant ones. Even though we've lost Americans. They're not

178
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: paying attention to us. They don't think that we're making sense.

179
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter we everyone else is evil. So

180
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: they're going to keep doing this. This is part of

181
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: what you need to understand. They are going to keep

182
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: doing this over and over and over again, hoping that

183
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: something will actually stick.

184
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: That is the plan, all right.

185
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: I want to move now to another big issue, and

186
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: that is the real chance that PBS and NPR could

187
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: be defunded because of the just total corruption and extreme

188
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: bias from these two organizations, and it's costing you hundreds

189
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars a year. Marjorie Taylor Green blasted PBS,

190
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: for example, for what they're putting to try to indoctrinate

191
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: your kids on public broadcasting. All right, so this is

192
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 1: your tax dollars going for this.

193
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: This was all during the.

194
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: Government Efficiency Subcommittee hearing at the Rayburn Office building where

195
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: now they're looking at PBS and NPR. This exchange between

196
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green blasting PBS for their programming where it

197
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: features a drag queen on a kid's show. Let me

198
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: say that again, a drag queen they featured on a

199
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: kids show, clearly trying to indoctrinate kids with the LGBTQ

200
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: plus IA, A dot whatever the hell they want to

201
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: identify them, the he she whatever it is, you know,

202
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: pro programming. They want to get this in your kid's

203
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: minds at a very early age. I want you to

204
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: hear what she had to say in the back and forth.

205
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 10: PBS News is not just left leaning, but it is

206
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 10: actively uses taxpayer funds to push some of the most

207
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 10: radical left positions, like featuring a drag queen on the

208
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 10: show Let's Learn, a show targeted toward young children ages

209
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 10: three to eight years old. I want you to know

210
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 10: I grew up watching children's programming on PBS, and as

211
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 10: a mother who raised three children, I felt confident that

212
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 10: I could leave the room while my own children were

213
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 10: watching children's programming on PBS. But I can tell you

214
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 10: right now, Ms Kirger, specifically, as a mother, if I

215
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 10: had walked in my living room or one of my

216
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 10: children's bedrooms and seeing this child predator and this monster

217
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 10: targeting my children, I would become unglued. And that is

218
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 10: how most parents feel all over this country. This is

219
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 10: not the only example of them sexualizing and grooming children.

220
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 10: They've been doing it for over the last decade. In

221
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 10: twenty fifteen, PBS produce Frontline put out a documentary Growing

222
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 10: Up Trans that takes viewers on an intimate and eye

223
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 10: opening journey inside the struggles and choices facing transgender kids

224
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 10: and their families. This means that PBS is one of

225
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 10: the founders of the trans child abuse industry, all while

226
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 10: taking taxpayer money. Brainwashing and transing children is an issue

227
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 10: so hated by parents across the country that it was

228
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 10: a driving force in the landslide Republican and Trump victory

229
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 10: in the twenty twenty four election cycle and presidential race.

230
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 10: The news that these entities produced is either resented or

231
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 10: increasingly tuned out and turned off by most of the

232
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 10: hard working Americans who are forced to pay for it.

233
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 10: They no longer view NPR and PBS as trusted news sources.

234
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 10: As a matter of fact, with these people, they're a threat.

235
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: So let me just be clear about what Margley Taylor

236
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: Green is saying here. If you're in the private sector

237
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: and you're a broadcast company and you want to put

238
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: drag queens in infant and children programming, knock yourself out.

239
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: That's your right. You can do that.

240
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: My tax hours shouldn't go to that at PBS. And

241
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: PBS again, is not the only place that isn't insanely

242
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: biased in being run by the radical left. I'll give

243
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: you another example of where your tax hours are going.

244
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: MPR.

245
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: That's a taxpayer funded arm of the Democratic National Committee.

246
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: That's what they are at state sponsored media. You want

247
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: to know how biased they are, well, one Republican Congressman

248
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: exposed it all while talking to the CEO, the president

249
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: of MPR, and I want you to listen to what

250
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: he said to her face.

251
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 11: The former senior business editor friend PR, how long you

252
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 11: work at MPR. I believe he was there just over

253
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 11: twenty five years?

254
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 12: Twenty five years award winning journalists? Do you win any awards?

255
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 12: Are time to anybody?

256
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 10: Award?

257
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 13: That's pretty important, isn't it? That is a pretty distinguished

258
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 13: journalist right certainly? And I wrote, he wrote a long

259
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 13: story about what you do at MPR is MPR.

260
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 12: Biased, Congressman.

261
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 11: I have never seen any instance of never of pro

262
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 11: political bias determining editorial decisions.

263
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 13: Now, well, mister Berliner in his story A couple last

264
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 13: year wrote, I've in the DC area editorial positions at MPR.

265
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 13: He said he found eighty seven registered Democrats, zero Republicans.

266
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 12: Is that accurate?

267
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 11: We do not track the numbers or the voter registration,

268
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 11: but I find that was.

269
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 13: Award winning journalists who worked twenty five years at MPR.

270
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 13: Mister Berlinner was he lying when he wrote that?

271
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 11: I am not presuming such. I just don't have We

272
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 11: don't track that information about our journalist eighty seven to zero,

273
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 11: and you're not biased. I think that is concerning. If

274
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 11: those numbers are accurate, it's concerned.

275
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 13: I mean, it wasn't forty four, forty three, wasn't sixty

276
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 13: twenty seven, It wasn't seventy seventeen, It wasn't even eighty

277
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 13: to seven. It was eighty seven Democrats zero Republicans. And

278
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 13: you say MPR is not biased. How about the big

279
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 13: stories over the last few years. According to mister Berlinner again,

280
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 13: he wrote on the Trump Russia story, he wrote, at MPR,

281
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 13: we hitched our wagon to Trump's most visible antagonists, representative

282
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 13: Adam Shipp. They said the interviewing twenty five times that accurate.

283
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 12: I was not there at the time, but those numbers

284
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 12: sound accurate. Those sound accurate.

285
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 13: But then he said, when the Muller report came out,

286
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 13: and they said Mueller said, Robert Muller said he found

287
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 13: no evidence of collusion. He said, Russia Gate faded from

288
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 13: our programming.

289
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 12: Is that accurate? Again, I was not there at the time.

290
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 12: I couldn't say. You couldn't say I was not at

291
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 12: unpeer at the time. You didn't prepare for that.

292
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 13: You knew we were going to ask you about this

293
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 13: guy didn't you. It's come up like six thousand times

294
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 13: already into hearing.

295
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 12: I just wouldn't say whether it faded from our coverage.

296
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 12: How about this story.

297
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 13: October twenty twenty, New York Post had the Hunter Biden

298
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 13: laptop story, and one of those editors, I guess one

299
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 13: of those eighty seven Democrat editors said this, we don't

300
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 13: want to waste our time on stories that are not

301
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 13: really stories. We don't want to waste the listeners and readers'

302
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 13: times on stories that are just pure distractions. With that

303
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 13: a pure distraction story.

304
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 11: Our current editorial leadership believes that that was a mistake,

305
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 11: as do I.

306
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 12: Yeah, the whole country knows that was a mistake.

307
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 13: Definitely impacted the election, or I think it certainly impacted

308
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 13: the election.

309
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 12: How about the COVID origin story.

310
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 13: That's pretty big story too, right, mister Berliner said, we

311
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 13: became fervent members of the team natural Origin, even declaring

312
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 13: that the lab leak was debunked by scientists. Turns out,

313
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 13: though the lab leak is what most people think actually

314
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 13: caused the COVID virus.

315
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 12: Sorry, sorry, sorry question there there is.

316
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 13: You guys were zero for three on the three the

317
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 13: three of the biggest stories in the last five years,

318
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 13: you guys were zero for three, and yet you maintain

319
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 13: that MPR.

320
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 12: Is not biased.

321
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 11: Congressman, I do not believe we are politically biased. To know,

322
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 11: we are a non partisan organization.

323
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 13: Non partisan organization, nonpartisan organization.

324
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: Let's just go back to the numbers there.

325
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: MPR has eighty seven editoral positions, all of them filled

326
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: by registered Democrats in DC, so not even independents like

327
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: you can't even get in these editoral positions as an independent,

328
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: as a like I'm not registered as a Republican or

329
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: a Dimocrat because by the way, I'd be.

330
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 2: Fine with some of those. Nope, can't have any of those.

331
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: So you got any seven editorial positions, None of them

332
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: go to independence, none of them go to register Republicans.

333
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 2: You guys are out for three on the big stories.

334
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: You clearly were pushing out them shift left and right

335
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: in Russia, Russia, Russia. You clearly are taxpayer funded arm of.

336
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 2: The Democratic National Committee. Everybody knows it.

337
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: And this lady who's in charge like, oh no, no,

338
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: we're not, we're not by we are we are just

339
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: we are not biased at all. We don't do bias.

340
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: We are not biased. There's nothing bias about us. We're

341
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: just we are just totally normal. We are a completely

342
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: non biased organization. We are a non political organization.

343
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Are you? Are you kidding me?

344
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: This is what they're doing now, and I hope that

345
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: they will defund gosh, I hope they will defund the

346
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: MPR n pvious.

347
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 2: By the way, they can both.

348
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: Make it, I think on their own, and if they can't,

349
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: then they probably shouldn't be in business. And just be

350
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: honest about who you are. Hey, no Republicans allowed. We

351
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: got eighty seven editorial people that are democrats. Is a

352
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: democratic communist organization. Come on in and if you're gonna

353
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: be that, then be intellectually honest about it. But don't

354
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: take my damn tax hours to push your state sponsored media.

355
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: There was one thing a moment ago that I played

356
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: for you, and I want to go back to it

357
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: because it was you heard it there and Jim Jordan's

358
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: questioning he mentioned NPR branding the hunter Byden laptop story

359
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: is a waste of time. I want to go to

360
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: Representative Fallen and I watched this hearing so that you guys,

361
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: I know many of you didn't, but I wanted to

362
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: pull these highlights in there, and I want you to

363
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: hear the back and forth on this issue. Specifically, this

364
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: is Representative Fallen questioning the NPR CEO, and listen to

365
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: how quickly she stops basically answering the questions with everything,

366
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: like with facts or anything that It's like, I don't know,

367
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, I don't know, I don't know, I

368
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: don't know.

369
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 2: Listen, missus Kerger.

370
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 14: In twenty twenty three, when PBS had a program Washington

371
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 14: Week with the Atlantic, and when President Biden's mental acuity

372
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 14: was questioned, one of the reporters claimed the GUP was lying.

373
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 14: Another reporter, Jeffrey Goldberg, who's been in the news of late,

374
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 14: described Biden as quote mentally acute. Were you aware if

375
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 14: there were any discending opinions on that program that day?

376
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 12: I don't know from that day there were not.

377
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 14: But fortunately there was a debate, and I believe June

378
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 14: of twenty twenty four where the American people in the

379
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 14: world found out just who was lying the Democrats, Jeffrey

380
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 14: Goldberg and PBS. Miss Marr, I'm sure you're aware that

381
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 14: Hunter Biden had a laptop. I am sure, yes, okay,

382
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 14: And there were many stories written about said laptop, yes, sir.

383
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 14: And in twenty twenty, unfortunately, and PR's managing editor for

384
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 14: News refused to cover the story and he branded it

385
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 14: a quote waste of time, not a real story, and

386
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 14: a distraction. And instead of, unfortunately of NPR investigating, they

387
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 14: ran a puff piece that led with experts say attack

388
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 14: on Hunter Biden addiction deepened stigma for millions. It's an

389
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 14: unfortunate that MPR ignored the Hunter Biden laptop story. But

390
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 14: y'all did talk quite a bit about the debunked Russia collusion.

391
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 14: Do you know how many times NPR interviewed Adam Schiff about.

392
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 11: Congressman I would love to say that we actually believe

393
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 11: we made a mistake on the Hunter Biden left.

394
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 12: Ok. That's sorry and I appreciate that. Thank you.

395
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 14: How many times did y'all interview Adam Schiff about the

396
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 14: Russia collusion?

397
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 12: I'm sorry, sorry, I don't have that number.

398
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 14: It was twenty five times. You know how many times

399
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 14: MPR interviewed Chairman of this committee Oversight Committee, Jamiekomer, about

400
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 14: the Biden impeachment inquiry, the Hunter Biden tax evasion, and

401
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 14: Elysia business seelings of the Biden family.

402
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 12: I'm sorry, sorry, I don't know.

403
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 14: I believe that's zero, So it's twenty five to zero,

404
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 14: Miss Kerger. You're aware there's a political spectrum goes all

405
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 14: the way from the far right to the far left

406
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 14: and everywhere in between. Would it trouble you to hear

407
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 14: that for six months? There was an analysis done on

408
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 14: PBS's News Hour from June to November of twenty twenty

409
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 14: three where they found that far right was that term

410
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 14: was used one hundred and sixty two times and far

411
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 14: left was only used six times. Do you find that troubling?

412
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 11: I don't know the study that you're referring to, and

413
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 11: I'd love I'd be very interested in seeing it and

414
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 11: understanding how they came up with those number.

415
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 14: Media Research Center did a six month analysis, and it's

416
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 14: not how you find it you say far right, it's terms.

417
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 14: They use the term far right one hundred and sixty

418
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 14: two times, far left six times. That's a ninety six

419
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 14: to four percent skew. You're also aware that you covered

420
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 14: the GOP and Democratic National Conventions in twenty twenty four. Yes,

421
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 14: we did, okay, Interestingly, seventy two percent of the coverage

422
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 14: of the GOP convention was negative. Eighty eight percent of

423
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 14: the Democratic Convention was positive. Shouldn't be surprising when you

424
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 14: have anchors like I'm the noat who described the Republican

425
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 14: rhetoric as quote outright racism end quote, echoing white supremacy,

426
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 14: mis mayor NPR. You believe your reporters are fair. You

427
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 14: said you're fair, and they're working at it.

428
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 15: I believe that they work to be every day sir.

429
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 15: They're non biased. And yet you have the voter registration issue.

430
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 15: I mean, we're all human beings. We're all going to

431
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 15: see through the world through a certain lens.

432
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 14: And are you aware of any Republicans, any registered Republicans

433
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 14: in your newsroom?

434
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 11: I couldn't say registered, but I know we have conservatives

435
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 11: in our newsroom.

436
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 14: Yes, Okay, So the recent registration when it was looked

437
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 14: at eighty seven Democrats and zero Republicans.

438
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 12: Register, I found that very concerntive.

439
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 14: Yeah, I would not even forty to thirty or fifty

440
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 14: to twenty eighty seven to zero. But it shouldn't be

441
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 14: surprising when their own CEO says things like I'm so

442
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 14: done with Late States capitalism or cause the President of

443
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 14: the United States a deranged racist sociopath, or that America's

444
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 14: addicted to white supremacy. So billions have gone into both

445
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 14: of your coffers over the last several decades. And I

446
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 14: understand why Democrats on this committee are going to viciously

447
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 14: and vehemently defend you all because you become a propaganda

448
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 14: wing of the Democratic Party. Sixty seven percent of your

449
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 14: viewers and listeners identify as Democrat, with only twelve percent conservative,

450
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 14: and you've become a sandbox for leftists propag and is

451
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 14: to frolic on taxpayer diamond no more. And when you

452
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 14: said in the beginning you're going to promote a symphony

453
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 14: of ideological viewpoints, yeah you do. If you're left leaning

454
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 14: left far.

455
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 15: Left there remarkably watch and stay, you'll back.

456
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: You look at how this is all just coming out,

457
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: and it's a breath of fresh air now to see

458
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: these individuals have to answer questions that they've never had

459
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: to answer before. They're having to answer these questions because

460
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: their funding is about to run out. There are consequence

461
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: for an election, and so they show up only because

462
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: they have to, because they're afraid they're going to lose

463
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: the money and if they lose the money, then what happens,

464
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: and what happens their power and their influence and their

465
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: state sponsored media, and it's over. It's game over. This

466
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: is incredible. You look at again. I go back to

467
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: the message thread for a second. We started the show

468
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: with Jeff Goldberg and this whole thing and the Atlantic

469
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: and everything else. John Ratcliffe, the CIA director, this is

470
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: what he said about it today, and it just goes

471
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: back to like, we're not afraid to have these conversations.

472
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: We're not afraid to talk about saying. And by the way, Democrats,

473
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: it's amazing. If they wouldn't have overplayed their hand on

474
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: this signal conversation and they wouldn't have said it was

475
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: classified information, they wouldn't have said it was war plans,

476
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: and they wouldn't have lied so much to build the

477
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: story up. They may have actually gotten more traction out

478
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: of it. But now they lied so much about it

479
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: and said things that just aren't true. That is in

480
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: these text threads, it is actually taking away from the

481
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: story because they're so thirsty to end someone's career, they're

482
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: so thirsty to try to destroy people. By Pete Headseth

483
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: listen to the CIA director talking about this member he

484
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: was on this threat.

485
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: Okay, it's on this signal threat. Listen to what he said.

486
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 16: You know, there's so much Let's talk about this Atlantic

487
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 16: article and about things that were said and that could

488
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 16: have happened, instead of a focus on what did happen.

489
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 16: So my responsibility as CIA director, one of its responsibilities

490
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 16: is to kill terrorists, and that's exactly what I did

491
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 16: along with President Trump's excellent national security team. That's what

492
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 16: we should be focused on with regard to that article.

493
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 16: I also would appreciate the opportunity to relay the fact

494
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 16: that yesterday I spent four hours answering questions from senators.

495
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 12: As a result of that article that.

496
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 16: Were intimating that I transmitted classified information because there were

497
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 16: hidden messages. Those messages were revealed today and revealed that

498
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 16: I did not transmit classified information, and that the reporter,

499
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 16: who I don't know, I think, intentionally intended it to

500
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 16: indicate that that reporter also indicated that I had released

501
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 16: the name of an undercover CIA operative in that signal channel.

502
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 16: In fact, I had released the name of my chief

503
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 16: of staff, who is not operating undercover.

504
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 12: That was deliberately false.

505
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 16: And misleading, and I appreciate the opportunity to reflect that

506
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 16: my answers haven't changed. I used an appropriate channel to

507
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 16: communicate sensitive information it was permissible to do so. I

508
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 16: didn't transfer any classified information. And at the end of

509
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 16: the day, what is most important is that the mission

510
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 16: was a remarkable success. Is what everyone should be focused

511
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 16: on here, because that's what did happen, not what possibly

512
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 16: could have happened.

513
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: I love John Ratcliffe for this job because he's so smart.

514
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: I've known him for years. He's one of the smartest

515
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 2: guys I know. And the way that he just.

516
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: Responds there making it very clear that you guys are

517
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: talking about all these things it didn't happen, all these

518
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: scenarios that didn't happen. You're doing all of these things

519
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: saying all of these things that did not actually happen.

520
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: You're over playing your hand by the way the White

521
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: House pressinger Terry Caroline Levitt exposing Senator.

522
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 2: Warner I played him earlier and his fake outrage.

523
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: She blasted him for using signal to set up a

524
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: contact with a disgraced Steel DOSSI, a author as there said,

525
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: no one should be using signal.

526
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: The White House throwing facts out today.

527
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 17: Listen, and here's just one example of how bad faith

528
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 17: the Democrat's criticisms are. Democrat Senator Mark Warner is hysterical

529
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 17: over the use of Signal, which is an approved acryptid

530
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 17: app in the killing of who they terrorists, But Senator

531
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 17: Warner himself used signal to work with a lobbyist for

532
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 17: a Russian oligarch to connect with it, to connect the

533
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 17: disgraced Steele dossier author who's he arded the Russia hoax,

534
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 17: which Jeffrey Goldberg later reported on how ironic. We're not

535
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 17: going to lose focus of the bottom line, which is

536
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 17: that Joe Biden's weakness enabled and emboldened hoothy terrorists, and

537
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 17: President Trump's strength and resolve eliminated those terrorists.

538
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 8: Yeah.

539
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: I love the way that she also describes it there.

540
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: Not only is Warner like a scumbag and full of

541
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: blank for actually using signal to set up a contact

542
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: with a disgrace still D'SCIA author, but they also don't

543
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: care that, oh, by the way, we were actually killing

544
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: terrorists that you guys should have killed when you were

545
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: in charge, but refused to kill. So if you want

546
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: to know who's side they're on, if you want to

547
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: know it side they are on. This is what you

548
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: need to know, Like, this is it.

549
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 2: It's amazing. Do me a favor.

550
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: Make sure you share this podcast with your family, your friends,

551
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,440
