The ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, 5 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: Devin Nunas, is going to be with us for the 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: full hour coming up in the program later today, and 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: he released a letter it is amazing to watch, and 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: you're going to see a media meltdown and a coordinated 9 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: assault because the media that is lied, the Democrats that 10 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: have lied, those that have advanced with his steria and 11 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: anonymous sources, and breathless for reporting and lies for two 12 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,639 Speaker 1: and a half years. As all of the information that 13 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 1: is now about to come cascading down upon them and 14 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: we're getting more and more every day, they are not 15 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: going to be able to handle the pressure of what's 16 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: going to happen. And it is just Attorney General bar 17 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: mentioning that yes, what confirming that the Obama administration did 18 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: spy on the Trump campaign is sending people over the edge. 19 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: And then when you add to that Bar saying he 20 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: has formed a team to review the FBI, is that 21 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,919 Speaker 1: this is going to be against rank and file UBI guys. 22 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: But a team of FBI officials to look at the 23 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: decisions that were made all throughout these investigations throughout the summer, 24 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: the probe of the Trump campaign, what led up to it, etc. 25 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: And the Justice Department. It is going to rock their 26 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: world because they have been wrong on a level that 27 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: has never been seen in media history. They had an 28 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: opportunit tunity to cover the biggest abuse of power scandal 29 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: in their lifetime, and they preferred to remain in their 30 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: their bubble of hate and rage and tinfoil had conspiracies 31 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: in the hopes that they could eliminate Donald Trump and 32 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: have him impeached. And now the boomerang has happened. We'll 33 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: get to all of that. I'm gonna get back to 34 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: this letter in a second. I'm gonna get back to 35 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: what is coming in a second. Also, you saw earlier 36 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: today Julian Assange was taken out of the Ecuadorian embassy 37 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 1: and apparently has been charged with a conspiracy. Is going 38 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: to be extradition battles I assume going on with those lawyers, etc. 39 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: Under arrest facing extradition of the US for a conspiracy 40 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: to commit could meet computer intrusion for agreeing to assist 41 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: Chelsea man You remember it was Obama that pardon Chelsea 42 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: Manning and hacking a Department of Defense computer. The Department 43 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: of Justice released the following on the sons. The indictment 44 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: alleges that in March of twenty ten, Asans engaged in 45 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: a conspiracy with Chelsea Manning, a former intelligence analyst in 46 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: the US Army, to assist Manning and cracking a password 47 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: stored on US Department of Defense computers connected to the 48 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: Secret Internet Protocol Network, a US government network used for 49 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: classified documents communications. Manning, who had access to the computers 50 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: in connection with her duties as an intelligence analyst at 51 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: the time, was using computers download classified records to transmit 52 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: to WikiLeaks. Cracking the password would have allowed Manning to 53 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: log onto the computers under a user name that was 54 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: not in their possession, rightly in their possession. Such a 55 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: deceptive measure would have made it more difficult for investigators 56 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: to determine the source of the disclosures during the conspiracy. 57 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: You know, That's what it basically is. It is interesting 58 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: to watch the reactions to all of this. The Ecuador's 59 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: former president, Raphael Carrera blasted his successor, Lennon Moreno as 60 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: a trader for allowing the arrest of Julian Asange quote 61 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: the greatest trader in Ecuadorian in Latin American history. Moreno 62 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: was allowed the British police to enter our embassy in 63 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: London to arrest Asange. Moreno is a corrupt man, but 64 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: what he has done as a crime that humanity will 65 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: never forget. And anyway, the arrest was released as a 66 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: video of it. Glenn Greenwald has raged against this and 67 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: is battling journalists. It is the criminalization of journalism. Everybody's 68 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: gonna have to make up their own decision on Julian Assange, etc. Etc. 69 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: And what happened. Let me just raise one side bar 70 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: issue before we get into, you know, some of the 71 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: issues involved here, because it does raise a lot of questions. 72 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: Because let's take, for example, the wiki leaks publication of 73 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: the DNC hack emails. And I asked Julian osangeas well. 74 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: Remember we went, we took the time, we flew to London. 75 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: We went to the Ecuadorian embassy. By the way, it 76 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: is an amazing you know, you would think that maybe 77 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: this is he lived in like three hundred square feet, 78 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: you know, basically the equivalent of a you know, small 79 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: maybe one better room apartment, nothing extravagant. Stayed there obviously 80 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: because he had strong feelings about his work. And remember 81 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: the original reason that he went there went away as 82 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: it related to allegations and charges that were brought against 83 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: him seven years you know. But those allegations went away, 84 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: then it was became an issue of what the United 85 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: States was going to do. So but here's the question, 86 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: because well, first let me let me let me play. 87 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: I dug in pretty deep on the issue of did 88 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: you get this from Russia? Russia's sources? And here's a 89 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: question an answer that was on Hannity, Russia give you 90 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: this information or anybody associated with Russia. Our source is 91 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: not a state party. So the answer for our interactions 92 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: is no, you did not get this information about the 93 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: DNC John Podesta's emails. Can you tell the American people 94 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: a thousand percent you did not get it from Russia 95 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: or anybody associated with Russia. We can say, we have 96 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: said repeatedly over the last two months that our source 97 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: is not the Russian government and it is not the 98 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: state party. Now, remember this is where I think Greenwald 99 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: is actually touched on an issue that nobody would dare touch. 100 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: I have always wondered. Always I thought, Okay, so they're 101 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: investigating where the hack. Look. Devin Nunez will join us later. 102 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: He warned us all that the hostile regime Russia their hostile. 103 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: They have a history of interfering or trying to interfere 104 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: or create chaos and elections. He warned in twenty fourteen, 105 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: they would do it. In twenty sixteen, nobody in the 106 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: Obama administration gave a rip. Remember this all happened in 107 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: the Obama years. And they have done this to other countries. 108 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: And it's fascinating how Ukraine has been desperately trying. They 109 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: have admitted that they did interfere in the twenty sixteen elections. 110 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: Don Solomon's investigative reporting has been telling us, and they 111 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: desperately want to give us the evidence of it, which 112 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: would be Again, it's sort of like liberals only care about, 113 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: you know, issues of me too or sexual harassment if 114 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: they can bludgeon a Trump Supreme Court nominee. But they're 115 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: stone cold silent when there are significant, real serious allegations 116 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: of rape and violent sexual assault by a Democrat. The 117 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: Lieutenant governor of Virginia they don't care about the issue. 118 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: They only care if they can use the issue. Do 119 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: they care about America's security? And I think this is 120 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: a very key question. And those countries that work to 121 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: influence our elections, they care about it. I care about it. 122 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,599 Speaker 1: I talked about yesterday. You want to beat Putin, I 123 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: know how to be Putin. You want to run Russia 124 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: and make it an insignificant country. But for the nuclear 125 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: weapons they have put that out aside for a second, 126 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: although you really can't. We just gotta up our production. 127 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: We have more energy resources, the lifeblood of every economy 128 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: than everybody else. How ironic we're talking about eliminating gas 129 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: and oil when we now, for the first time in 130 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: seventy seventy five years, the number one producer of oil 131 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: and natural gas. We figure out a way to take 132 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: care of our friends in Western Europe at the right price. 133 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: Guess what Putin's out of business. That is, their entire 134 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: economy is based on it. And it would render though 135 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: that those bad actors insignificant. Well, what Greenwald is interesting, 136 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: I've never understood if they wanted to get a feel 137 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 1: about Russia's influence in the investigation in the election or 138 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: chaos production in the election. Why did they never go 139 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: and ask Assange? Now I would have thought that he 140 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: probably guessing he whoever wherever he got this information from. 141 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: Doesn't it make sense to think that he probably has 142 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: some forensic footprint of where it all came from. Now 143 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: I do talk to intelligence people, most of them seem 144 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: convinced it was a Russia or Russia connected source for 145 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: Julian Osangian wiki leaks. He denies it, adamantly asked him 146 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: again and again in that interview, and then it raises 147 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: this question. You know, remember well the New York Times 148 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: ended up printing all those emails, and the Washington Post 149 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: printed all those emails. You can't forget the history of 150 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: the Pentagon papers. I mean, you know it was given 151 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: a top secret Department of Defense study of US political 152 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: military involvement in Vietnam from nineteen forty five to nineteen 153 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,719 Speaker 1: sixty seven. And if you look at the history of it, 154 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: the Vietnam War is dragging on, more than five hundred 155 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: thousand US troops in Vietnam by nineteen sixty eight. You 156 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: have military analyst Daniel Ellsberg worked on the study. He 157 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: came to oppose the war decided that the information contained 158 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: in the Pentagon on Papers top secret, should be made 159 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: available to the American public, and he photocopied the report 160 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: in March of seventy one and gave it to the 161 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: New York Times. Stolen military documents, almost dynamical to the 162 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: whole of soange issue with Chelsea Manning, and the New 163 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: York Times published it in a series of scathing articles 164 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: based on the reports, most damning secrets, and it was 165 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: you remember this all started in sixty seven at the 166 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: request of then US Secretary Defense, Robert McNamara, And you 167 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: have this team of analysts working for the Department of 168 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: Defense preparing a highly classified document and a study about 169 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: our involvement in Vietnam from the end of World War 170 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: two to present day. They're called the Pentagon Papers. That's 171 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: the fifth report of the Office of the Secretary of 172 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: Defense Vietnam Task Force, later becoming famous as the Pentagon Papers. Anyway, 173 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: contained three thousand pages, a three thousand page narrative along 174 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: with four thousand pages of supported documents. Who was finished 175 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 1: in sixty nine. It's fed to the New York Times 176 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: in seventy one and Ellsberg changes his opinions so it 177 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 1: becomes a big Supreme Court case. After the Times publishes 178 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: the front page articles based on the information contained in 179 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: the Pentagon papers anyway, Then the after the third article, 180 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice got a temporary restraining order against 181 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: further publication the material, arguing it was detrimental to US 182 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: national security anyway. And then in the famous case New 183 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: York Times versus the US and the Washington Post, they 184 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: joined forces to fight for the right to publish. Now 185 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: think about that. If it's again the charge is about 186 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: Chelsea Manning, tell me what the difference is here? I mean, 187 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: I think in that sense, Glenn Greenwald is right. If 188 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: it's about journalism, if it's about getting information, well, if 189 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: the information is true, Now think about this. If Wiki 190 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: Leaks publishes it and it's copied and pasted, like most 191 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: media do this all the time, you don't even know it. 192 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: They just they don't even give attribution half the time. 193 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: But if this case, the impact of that decision by 194 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: the US Supreme Court, I'll get into a second here, 195 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: why wouldn't that apply in this case? And I've never 196 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: understood if you want to know, if you've got it 197 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: from Russia, why didn't you you're doing an investigation this deep, 198 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: this long. Why did nobody look for that forensic footprint. 199 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: The only person that tried, to my knowledge, was Dana Roorbacher. 200 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 1: You know there were more than thirty four million American smokers. 201 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: I bet that finding a satisfying alternative to cigarettes is 202 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: at the top of your list if you're a smoker. Look, 203 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: I've been there before, but I, after many years of smoking, 204 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 1: I finally made the switch to Jewel.

With Jewel, everything is so much 207 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: easier Now. Jewel is a vaporizer that contains nicotine for 208 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: a satisfying transition. When I found Jewel, it was a 209 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: complete game changer. Jewel was designed by smokers for smokers 210 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: to be an alternative to cigarettes. From it's simple to 211 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: use interface to its clean technology. Well, Jewel has no 212 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: cigarette ash, odor or mess.

Interesting and as much 270 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 1: as we've had up to now a two tier justice system, 271 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: interesting because we've not had equal justice under the law, 272 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: equal application of our laws. Interesting that you watch a meltdown, 273 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: and it's going to get louder and more extreme as 274 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: the news media now begins to understand that they have 275 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: been wrong on a spectacular level, that they've missed the 276 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: biggest abuse of power corruption scandal in American history and 277 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: with the information that I know is coming that I 278 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: know some of you have been impatient when Hannity and 279 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen, I don't I look, we've been unpeeling 280 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: the layers of this onion with this ensemble cast on 281 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: radio and TV now for over two years. The media, 282 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: the Democrats have been pushing nothing but lies and tinfoil, 283 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: had conspiracy theories for two and a half years. Because 284 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: four separate investigations have now shown there's no evidence of 285 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: any Trump Russia collusion. The FBI nine month investigation Page 286 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: instruck No, no, they're there, Lisa Page. We didn't have 287 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: anything before Muller took this over. We've been digging for 288 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: nine months, began in July of twenty sixteen. Muller was 289 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: appointed in May of twenty seventeen. They didn't find anything, 290 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: not a single thing. But not only are the criminal 291 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: referrals coming out and likely more than the eight that 292 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: Devin Nunis talks about today and they'll join us at 293 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: the top of the hour. But now there is a 294 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: full freak out happening within the deep state. Those people 295 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: that abused their power, you know, those people that helped 296 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: Hillery get elected and rigged an investigation, those people that 297 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: were responsible for a fraud committed against the FISA Court, 298 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: those responsible for violating the constitutional rights a card or page, 299 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: those that were involved in spying on the Trump campaign. 300 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: You know, then we're going to get on top of 301 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: the Bar investigation, which I believe, once it begins, will 302 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: be exhaustive. If we care about truth, and we care 303 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: about laws, and we care about the weaponry of intelligence 304 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: not being turned on the American people, we better get 305 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,959 Speaker 1: to the bottom of it, or else there will be 306 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: coups that happen in this country by people that think 307 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: that they know better than we, the people who ought 308 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: to be president, the people that refer to us as 309 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: the smelly Walmart people, or irredeemable deplorables, or you know, 310 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: bitter Americans clinging to their their guns, their Bibles, their religion, 311 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: those that support Donald Trump, that like the success of 312 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, that see America thriving on the world stage 313 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: with strength again, etc. But after that, you're going to 314 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: get the Bar investigation, the Horowitz Report, the Hoober Report, 315 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 1: more of this testimony. I mean, it has been so 316 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: enlightening the last couple of weeks thanks to Congressman Doug 317 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: Collins of Georgia, and all that we learned this week 318 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: with the testimony. You know the fact that the General Council, 319 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: the FBI, Yeah, they tested four forty emails of hillaries, 320 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: just forty and they found four labeled classified top secret 321 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: that she had on that on that hard drive. Clearly 322 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: that met the standard of gross negligence. Never and you 323 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: want to meet the standard. All these people hoping they 324 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: get a sentence out of the Muller Report about obstruction 325 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: of justice, which by the way, it took seconds for 326 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General are to say, well, they 327 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: don't have the it doesn't rise to the level. But 328 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: they'll cling to that, but they'll ignore subpoena at emails, 329 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: thirty three thousand deleted emails. We now know the actual date, 330 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: the date when it happened, and in other words, the 331 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: acid wash of the hard drive. We know when that happened, 332 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: and nobody seems to care. In the media. It's just 333 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: like they don't care about the issue of women and 334 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: sexual assault unless it's a Republican they can bludgeon. Otherwise, 335 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: all the eye believers would be out there believing the 336 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,719 Speaker 1: women that claimed that they were raped and violently assaulted 337 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: by the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia.

Bruce 341 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: Or testifying behind closed doors, he warned everybody in the 342 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: FBA I Upper russil Ondoj warned them all that in 343 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: fact the dossier was Clinton paid for, but put together 344 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,479 Speaker 1: after funnel money to a law firm, to an op 345 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: research firm, to a former m I six foreign national 346 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 1: by the name of Christopher Steele, that nobody verified it. 347 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: We now know it's unverifiable because under an interrogatory Christopher 348 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: Steele himself he acknowledges he doesn't know of any of 349 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: the dossier's true but it was the quote bulk of 350 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: information according to the Grassly Graham Newnest memos that have 351 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: the application to get a FISA warrant to deny Carter 352 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: Page's constitutional rights. They committed a fraud on the court 353 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: and they use bought and paid for Russian lies to 354 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: do it. How ironically you know all of this, well 355 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: bar has gone off the rails. Well wait till all 356 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: this other information comes out there. They have no idea 357 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: how hard they're gonna get hit with truth that we 358 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: have been revealing for two years plus on this program 359 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: and on TV. When those FISA applications come out, Americans 360 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: will see for themselves what we've been telling you Gang 361 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: of eight materials, the FBI acknowledging, yeah, we really mess 362 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: this up. Where do you see their own acknowledgements of 363 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: such the three O two's, you know, the conversations with 364 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: or Steele and others. You know, now we've got Ukraine. 365 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: Ukraine is begging to give us evidence that they interfered 366 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: in the twenty sixteen election, but because the favored Hillary, 367 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: they don't want to go there. You know, it's when 368 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: you look, it's the spying that occurred. The evidence is overwhelming. 369 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: It is incontrovertible. What do you think Why did why 370 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: would career people put that didn't want Trump elected put 371 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: their everything on the line. Number one, they thought Hillary 372 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 1: was gonna win. Everything's predicated on that. Number two, they 373 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: wanted to have an insurance policy just in case they lost. 374 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: So you go before a FISA court. Look at the 375 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: first FISA warrant. You don't put bold letters Hillary paid 376 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: for this, just that asteris might have a slight political 377 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: taint to it. Okay, but if you said you know 378 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: and you have to testify that it is true to 379 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: the best of your knowledge. But we now know that 380 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: dossier has been debunked most of it. And secondly, we 381 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: know that the dossier was a bunch of Russian lines 382 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: put together by a guy that hates Trump and continue 383 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: to try and influence even the Special Counsel's office using 384 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: Bruce Or as a conduit. They missed all of this 385 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: because they don't care. It was to bludgeon, it was political. 386 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: They were They were motivated by rage and hatred both 387 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: the media and Democrats. They can't even stop even though 388 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: we have four separate you know, the FBI nine month investigation, 389 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: the House in Hell Committee investigation, the bipartisan Senate Intel 390 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: Committee investigation, and now the Muller Report. No collusion, you know, 391 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: but there's Adam Schiff, the one guy caught on tape 392 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: colluding with Russians thinking he can get dirt so he 393 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: can influence the elections. You know, what is the nature 394 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: of the compromising materials? And then the picks of the 395 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: naked Trump naked Trump does lad of you know? Yeah, 396 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: but Ladim it costs, he costs, he knows, he knows 397 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: it at all. It's seeing it all. Can you get 398 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: him nice? He's the only one. But the fact that 399 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: they would commit a fraud against the court, the knife, 400 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: Carter Page, his constitutional rights, wire tap him, get a 401 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: backdoor through every computer, all into the past and right 402 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: into the Trump campaign. Everything is for grabs at that point, 403 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 1: never mind the fact. And it goes deeper than that. 404 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: It was a great piece that was put out by 405 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: Byron York headline pretty much says it all bars right. 406 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: Spying did occur on the Trump campaign, and he reminds 407 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: us Stephan Helper, the FBI engaged him as an informant. 408 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: New York Times reported agents involved in the Russian investigations 409 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: asked Helper, an American academic teaching in Great Britain, to 410 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: gather information on Page and Papadopoulos, another Trump campaign foreign 411 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 1: policy advisor. Helper went beyond Page and Papadopolis, also seeking 412 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: information from Trump campaign aide Sam Clovis. Wasn't clear whether 413 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: Helper and the FBI had the heis blessing to do 414 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: Clovis the helper cases, more evidence that spying occurred. Of 415 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: course it did. And of course the insurance policy. You know, 416 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: we haven't even touched the rigged investigation part of this, 417 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: and that is we learned through all of these closed 418 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: door testimonies. Yeah, well number one that James Baker thought 419 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: Hillary should be indicted. Who's talked out of it by 420 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: everyone else, the loved Hillary. Okay, then what happened there? 421 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: What happened with the investigation? Okay, again, you know, midterm exam, 422 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: but what do we know? They were writing an exoneration 423 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: in May of twenty sixteen before her before she's interviewed, 424 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: or seventeen other people are interviewed. She's allowed to bring 425 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: two other people into the interview with the FBI. The 426 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 1: interviewer is Peter Struck, the guy that says Hillary needs 427 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: to win one hundred million zero. I can smell the 428 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: Trump Walmart voters, Peter Struck said, And we know in 429 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: fact that eighteen USC. Once they identified top secret classified 430 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: information on that Mom and pop shop bathroom closet. That's 431 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: the law. It is clear she violated it, eighteen USC. 432 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: Seven ninety three. And what do you think you want? Obstruction? 433 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,239 Speaker 1: These people don't care about obstruction. Just think like they 434 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: don't care about the the women stories or believe the 435 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: women against the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia because it's not 436 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: doesn't benefit their political narrative. Yeah, when you delete thirty 437 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: three thousand subpoena at emails and then you have we 438 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: know the date of the hard drive being acid washed, 439 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: now yeah, well sure, and then bust up devices removed simcarte. 440 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: It all comes together. Now, that has to if we 441 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: have equal justice under the law, equal application under the law, 442 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: that all has to happen immediately. And that's what they're 443 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: all afraid of because they've all been wrong. Back to 444 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: this assange thing for Jo to say. So, the Pentagon Papers, anyway, 445 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: is a task force at the request of then Defense 446 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: Secretary Robert McNamara, forty seven volumes, three thousand pages, four 447 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: thousand pages of supporting documents. Anyway, Daniel Ellsberg served in 448 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: the Marines, and anyway, he ends up giving it to 449 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: The New York Times after he had concluded, you know what, 450 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: this wasn't the right war to fight. After three reports, 451 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: the New York Times is sued by the US government, 452 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: and you know, they now referred to as the Pentagon Papers, 453 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: and this happened after the third article was reported, and anyway, 454 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,239 Speaker 1: they joined forces with the Washington Post for the right 455 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: to publish. June thirtieth, the US Supreme Court ruled six 456 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: to three that the government had failed to prove harm 457 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: to national security in the publication of the papers was 458 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: justified under the First Amendments protection of the freedom of 459 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: the press, and the impact that is dramatic. Okay, So 460 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: the charges against Julian Assange have to do with his 461 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: work with Chelsea Manning, who has already been pardoned by 462 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: Barack Obama. I think Greenwald is onto something here as 463 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: well as like the press doesn't care because that hurt Democrats. 464 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: It's political, okay, But looks like there's a precedence here. 465 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: The question is, why didn't they ever looking into if 466 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: they think all this came from Russia, why didn't they 467 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: ever go to the Ecuadorian embassy and talked to Asange. 468 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,239 Speaker 1: From what we know, they never did that. Maybe they 469 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: didn't want the forensics, you know, maybe there were other sources. 470 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: Now most people tell me my sources say yeah, probably 471 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: it was connected in Russia to some way, maybe a 472 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: third party, some outlet whatever I have other people, smart, 473 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: smart people telling me nope might have come from a 474 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: couple of sources. Some of them might have even been 475 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: Bernie supporters. Who knows. I don't know the answer to that. 476 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: I only know the answer he gave me. But I 477 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: wonder I would assume, based on the past actions of 478 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: Wiki Leaks and Asange, that there's probably I don't think 479 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: everything he owned is in the Ecuadorian embassy. At that point, 480 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: A lot of people would come and go, like ham Anderson, 481 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: for example. My guess would be I'd be interested to 482 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: find out what they know, what the forensics show, where 483 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: did it come from? And I think it should have 484 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: been asked if we really cared about it, just like 485 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: we should ask Ukraine for the evidence that they have 486 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: that they helped Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen. All right, 487 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: Devin Newness, in the next hour, you know, all right, 488 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: we gotta take wanted to take a break or you 489 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: want me to tell him about your condo that you 490 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: never go to take a break? Bus take a break? 491 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: All right, quick break, right back. We'll continue Devin Newness 492 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: at the top of the next hour, Big Newsday, and 493 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: of course Greg Craig, now the White House Counsel of Obama. Well, 494 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: he's been federal charges against Tim the Farah Act and 495 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: hiding information is work related to the Ukraine. Again, on 496 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: the first one is FIS abuse and other matters. We 497 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: believe there is a conspiracy to light to the FISA 498 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: Court and just lead the FISA Court by numerous individuals 499 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: that all need to be investigated and looked at that 500 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: and we believe the statute is the conspiracy statute. The 501 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: second conspiracy one is involving manipulation of intelligence that also 502 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: could internal many Americans and we are So that's kind 503 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: of the second one. As you know, we've had a 504 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: lot of concerns with the way intelligence was used, so 505 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: that that would be kind of the two conspiracy recommendations 506 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: referrals that were that we're making. The third is what 507 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: I would call a global leak referral. So there are 508 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: about a dozen highly sensified, highly sensitive classified information leaks 509 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: that were given to only a few reporters over the 510 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: last two and a half plus years. So you know, 511 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: we don't know if there's actually been any leak investigations 512 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: that have been open, but we do believe that we've 513 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: got pretty good information and a pretty good idea of 514 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: who could be behind these leaks. Doesn't mean we know 515 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: all the people that are behind the leaks, because because 516 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: you know, when you read these, a lot of these 517 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: they're always anonymous sources and they always say something to 518 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: the effect of current and former senior officials. So we 519 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: do you think we've got a pretty good idea of 520 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: who some of the sources are behind these leaks. We 521 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: don't know if the Department of Justice has been looking 522 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: at these, but you know, there's just been unprecedented things 523 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: have happened. But first of all us how many people 524 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: is this capturing? Can you give us any names on 525 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: this list in terms of your referrals? Well, I'm not 526 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: prepared to give any names, but I think most people 527 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,879 Speaker 1: that have followed Russia Gate for a long time they 528 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: know a lot of the names. But there's five that 529 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: are straight up five names. Then there are when you 530 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: get to the leaks, we don't know. We think there's 531 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: only a few people behind these leaks, but there could 532 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: be multiple people. So on the leak the global leak referral, 533 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: there could be there could be several individuals. When you 534 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 1: look at the conspiracy, I mean that could get up 535 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: to a dozen two dozen people. So you know, for example, 536 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: we don't know all the people that are involved. Look, 537 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: we know Struck and Page and we know their involvement 538 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: because they've been interviewed. But you know, there's other people 539 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: that were above Struck and a low Strap that have 540 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: not been interviewed, so we don't know if they're involved 541 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: in this conspiracy or not. My question is, now that 542 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: President Trump has been exonerated of Russia collusion, is the 543 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: Justice Department investigating how it came to be that your 544 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: agency used a silacious and unverified dossier as a predicate 545 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: for a FIZA order on a US citizen. The Office 546 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,359 Speaker 1: of the Inspector General has a pending investigation of the 547 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: FISA process in the Russian investigation, and I expect that 548 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: that will be complete in probably in May or June, 549 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: I am told, so hopefully we'll have some answers from 550 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: Inspector General Horowitz on the issue of the FISA warrants. 551 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: More more generally, I am reviewing the conduct of the 552 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: investigation and trying to get my arms around and all 553 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: the aspects of the counterintelligence investigation that was conducted during 554 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 1: the summer of twenty sixteen. All right, the Attorney General Barr. 555 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: Before that, we have Devin Nunes of the House Intelligence Committee, 556 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: one of the committees that, after an exhaustive investigation, determined 557 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: that there was no evidence of Trump Trump campaign collusion 558 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: with Russia. Devin Nunes earlier today sent a letter to 559 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: the Attorney General. As we've been telling you it is 560 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: coming for more than two years, the House Permanent Select 561 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,720 Speaker 1: Committee on Intelligence, the committee in parentheses, conducted a wide 562 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: ranging investigation into the Russian government's efforts to interfere in 563 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen US presidential election. As part of that investigation, 564 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 1: Committee Republicans identified several potential violations of law. Given the 565 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 1: sensitivity surrounding this matter, I will have my staff contacted 566 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: department to arrange a time for Representative Ratcliffe and me 567 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: to brief you directly on the eight criminal referrals. I 568 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: appreciate your consideration of this matter. Now. The former head 569 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: of the House Intelligence Committee now Minority leader, is Devin 570 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: Nunez from California, their twenty second district. Welcome back, Congressman. 571 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: Well you said this was coming, so here it is. 572 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: Thanks Sean, and thanks for all your work on this 573 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: and making sure that the American people actually knew the truth. 574 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,720 Speaker 1: It's been a long road, but it's it's great today 575 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: to be able to send this to the Attorney General 576 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: and we're prepared to breathe them. It's quite exhaustive, and 577 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: I think the Attorney General will find it quite interesting 578 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: for the investigation that now we know that he's doing well. 579 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 1: Let me go into the issue, which I think is 580 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: very important here because I'm assuming you're not going to 581 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: name the names, but I think a lot of them 582 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 1: are very obvious, at least to me, and I won't 583 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: sit here and offer a conjecture You're not going to 584 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 1: talk publicly about it at this point, No, And it 585 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't be appropriate, right because a lot of this is 586 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:10,720 Speaker 1: highly sensitive classified information. The Attorney General, everything that I've seen, 587 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: he's a growing up and so you know, part of 588 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: the reason why we're sending these over in this way 589 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: where we want to brief him directly, is because we 590 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,479 Speaker 1: have we have trust and confidence in him. So this isn't, 591 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 1: you know, one of these things where we have to 592 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: get a bunch of media and hype it up. You know, 593 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is, I want to send 594 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: this to the Attorney General brief him, let him look 595 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: at it, ask us questions that he may have about this. 596 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: And you know, look, these people that that we're involved 597 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 1: in this, let's just say what we feel is inappropriate behavior, 598 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 1: and we think that they broke the law, we wouldn't 599 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:48,359 Speaker 1: refer them for criminal prosecution. You know, Look, they don't 600 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,280 Speaker 1: need to know what we know. And that's the bottom line. 601 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think you know, they all know 602 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 1: who they are, but you know, there could be other 603 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: people that don't know that we've actually found out what 604 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: they were doing was wrong. So I'm not going to 605 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: give these guys any advantage and tip them off as 606 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: to what we have. Let me ask you, I keep 607 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,840 Speaker 1: saying and describing to our audience. You know, there have 608 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: been four separate conclusions as it relates to Trump Russia collusion. 609 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 1: The FBI nine month investigation. You know, even page instruct 610 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: there's no They're there, both of them saying it repeatedly, 611 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 1: Lisa Pate saying after nine months they had nothing. Before 612 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,880 Speaker 1: the appointment of Muller, we had the House Intelligence Committee 613 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: investigation which you ran, you found no evidence of collusion. 614 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: The same with the Bipartisan Senate Committee investigation led by 615 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: Senator Burr. Now, the Muller Report couldn't be any more 616 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: clear on the issue of collusion, but that's not stopping 617 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,760 Speaker 1: people on the other side, be it, you know, people 618 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: that have been selling conspiracy theories and outright lies and 619 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 1: anonymous sources and breathless hysterical reporting and pronouncements by people 620 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 1: in Congress. But there is information, there has been a 621 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: parallel investigation that I know you have been aware of 622 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 1: on the front lines of discovering where there is real evidence. 623 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,399 Speaker 1: We have not only your criminal referrals, but we now 624 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: know and have confirmation from this week that the Attorney 625 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: General has formed a team to review the f BEHIND 626 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,320 Speaker 1: Department of Justice's actions during this probe. That will be big. 627 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,919 Speaker 1: The Inspector General Horowitz's report on FISA abuse. I think 628 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: that's going to be big. Not sure exactly what John 629 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,240 Speaker 1: Hoover is going to come up with, but I expect 630 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,879 Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting. More closed or testimony will 631 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: be released. And then, of course, the President, in an 632 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 1: interview with me a week and a half ago, talked 633 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 1: about releasing the FISA applications Gang of eight materials three 634 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: ZO two's and we're awaiting a court potentially giving us 635 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 1: some information on Christopher Steele that will be hopefully as 636 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: revealing as I'm told it will be. And of course 637 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 1: now we have evidence the Ukrainians want to give us 638 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 1: evidence that they work to influence our elections. You have 639 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 1: plans to release those applications Gang of Aid information, the 640 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 1: three O twos of Bruce Or and others, and the 641 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: five buckets of John Solomon as they call them. I do. 642 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,800 Speaker 1: I have plans to declassify and release. I have plans 643 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: to absolutely release, but I have some very talented people 644 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: working for me, lawyers, and they really didn't want me 645 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: to do it. Early on. One of the reasons that 646 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: my lawyers didn't want me to do it is they said, 647 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,239 Speaker 1: if I do it, they'll call it a form of obstruction. 648 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,560 Speaker 1: So they'll say, oh, you release these documents, so we 649 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,279 Speaker 1: would make all of this information transparent, you know, and 650 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: politics shows here. Transparency would make it transparent, and then 651 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: they'd call it obstruction. Knowing the people we're dealing with, 652 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: so frankly, I thought it would be better if we 653 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,479 Speaker 1: held it to the end. No, but at the right time, 654 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,879 Speaker 1: we will be absolutely releasing. Again, I did the right 655 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: thing by not doing it so far, but you understand 656 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: they would call it something that it wouldn't be. It's 657 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 1: the only time you'd be transparent, where they'd say are 658 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: bad things about transparency. A lot of stuff coming. So 659 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot there. So let me let me 660 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 1: tell you a couple of things that I think are 661 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 1: important here and unpack some of this that's that's that's 662 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: coming out and try to prioritize it. Number one is 663 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: this Mueller dossier that I now call it because I'm 664 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: you know, this four hundred pages and all this talk about, 665 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 1: you know, releasing it. And remember I was the first 666 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: member of Congress to actually say all of this should 667 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 1: be out. But what is important is the underlying information 668 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,239 Speaker 1: and how they reached their conclusions and what made it 669 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 1: on the page of their four hundred page Mueller dossier. 670 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,359 Speaker 1: Because I am convinced that with Weisman and all these 671 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: other bad actors who should not have been involved in 672 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: this in the first place, because they were, they should 673 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: have been conflicted out. I think a lot of your 674 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,720 Speaker 1: listeners understand this. But but you had Weissman and another 675 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: lawyer who were on Mueller's team, who were part of 676 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 1: the chain of custody of this steal Democrat dirt dossier 677 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. So so if there are all these 678 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: people that are that are clamoring for transparency and they 679 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 1: want to see the four hundred pages, I just hope 680 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 1: that the Attorney General goes farther than that and sends 681 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 1: them and sends us all the information, all the underlying information, 682 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: because I'm looking forward to looking into, you know, all 683 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,439 Speaker 1: of these people that we're sitting on this two year 684 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 1: witch hunt. I want to look at the work that 685 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,240 Speaker 1: they did. Just because you're on a special council doesn't 686 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 1: mean you get special powers, and that we don't as 687 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 1: a Congress and a legislative branch, don't get to investigate 688 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 1: you if you're not on the up and up. And 689 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: I have a lot of reason to believe that Weissman 690 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 1: and others were not on the up and up with 691 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: the American people, and they're going to be held accountable. Also, 692 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 1: do you believe as I do, and I believe that 693 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,359 Speaker 1: these transcripts that have been released by Congressman Doug Collins 694 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: closed door testimony that in fact, the investigation into Hillary 695 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:02,799 Speaker 1: Clinton and her email server was rigged and they did 696 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,839 Speaker 1: it for the favored candidate that should win one hundred 697 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 1: million to zero, as Peter Struck said, and he could smell, 698 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: you know, not the smelly Walmart voters that were voting 699 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump like me. Do you believe there was 700 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 1: a fraud committed on the FISA courts by a withholding 701 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,880 Speaker 1: information from the court, that being that everybody had been 702 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 1: told Hillary paid for it, it was unverified. We now 703 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 1: know it's the dossier is unverifiable and largely debunked. And 704 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: was that the bulk of information used? Yeah, so look, 705 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 1: they you know from our memo that we put out 706 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,439 Speaker 1: over a year ago that they lied to the FISER court. So, 707 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 1: and there was a whole bunch of other line which 708 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,320 Speaker 1: is why we want the other the rest of the 709 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,360 Speaker 1: so called comy mosaic. We want the rest of it 710 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 1: out too, because you'll see just how fraudulent they were 711 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 1: and what they were willing to do to spy on 712 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,799 Speaker 1: the Trump campaign. And isn't it nice now that we 713 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 1: can actually call it spine on the Trump campaign because 714 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,320 Speaker 1: that's what they did. It's just been so ridiculous that 715 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 1: we haven't able to use that term spy. But but 716 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,360 Speaker 1: but let me say I was I think another important 717 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: part of all this, John, I think will answer your question. 718 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,399 Speaker 1: So so I was going through some of my notes 719 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 1: just the history of this this morning, and you know, 720 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,280 Speaker 1: when we look back when when when we first opened 721 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: our investigation the House Intelligence Committees, like official investigation, that 722 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 1: was at the beginning of twenty sixteen. At that time, 723 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,920 Speaker 1: you know, we had been already been have you know, 724 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:35,279 Speaker 1: ongoing briefings as it relates to Russia. Russia and counter 725 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:39,760 Speaker 1: intelligence investigations. And so remember in January and February twenty 726 00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 1: and sixteen, I'm out there doing interviews and getting attacked 727 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,400 Speaker 1: in these interviews when I would that was back when 728 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,759 Speaker 1: I used to talk to the Democrat control media, and 729 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 1: I would, you know, take every question and they would 730 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 1: be like, you don't know who Roger Stone is. And 731 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 1: what I would say was I said, look, I had 732 00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 1: yet to see one ounce of evidence against any America 733 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 1: at all, and a court as supposedly, NSA, FBI, all 734 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 1: the IC everybody's giving us everything that they have on 735 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,759 Speaker 1: Russia that people are demanding, and I'm sitting in there 736 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,560 Speaker 1: taking ridiculous questions for impress people saying, look, I don't 737 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,799 Speaker 1: have any evidence or collusion. And what was interesting at 738 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 1: that time when I go back and look, and I 739 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 1: don't know if you remember this, this was we had 740 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 1: real work to do on the House Intelligence Committee at 741 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 1: that time, and this was such it was beginning such 742 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,319 Speaker 1: a circus that I actually said, look, this has become 743 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 1: such a joke because we have no evidence after a 744 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 1: couple months looking at this. So I'm going to have 745 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 1: Trey Goudy and Tom Rooney, two lawyers that were sitting 746 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,279 Speaker 1: on the Intelligence Committee. I'm basically going to put them 747 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 1: on a task force and let them conduct all these 748 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 1: interviews because until somebody somewhere gives us an ounce of evidence, 749 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:52,960 Speaker 1: we're not going to waste time on this. We have 750 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: real problems in this country and real challenges with the IC. 751 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 1: So this is a couple of months before Mueller comes on. 752 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 1: There is no way on earth that Bob Muller didn't 753 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,279 Speaker 1: know from day one when he walked in that door 754 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 1: that there wasn't an ounce of evidence of Trump colluding 755 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 1: with Russians. Period. There has been a little bit of 756 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,360 Speaker 1: a shocking news event happening, and that is the Obama 757 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 1: White House Council Greg Craig has been charged by federal 758 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,920 Speaker 1: prosecutors for alleged lies about his work in Ukraine. We 759 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,680 Speaker 1: continue with the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, 760 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,800 Speaker 1: Devin Nounas is with us. He's with California's twenty second district. 761 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,680 Speaker 1: Thanks for sticking around. There's a lot happening. First, your 762 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,920 Speaker 1: reaction to and by the way, your criminal referrals, which 763 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,760 Speaker 1: we've been talking about, and your letter to the Attorney 764 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 1: General bar about eight specific By the way, well there'll 765 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: be more criminal referrals. Do you think it's It's very possible, because, 766 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 1: as I said in last segment, the Mueller dossier, once 767 00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 1: we go through that, I want to you know, we're 768 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 1: gonna hold all these people accountable too. And so if 769 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 1: there's anything that made it into the Mueller dossier that's 770 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 1: stay or phony or a lie, we're gonna we're gonna 771 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 1: investigate it. Also, on the positive side, there could be something. 772 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,799 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm hopeful hope springs eternal in this case, 773 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,120 Speaker 1: but hopefully the mullardassier actually gives us perhaps some more information, 774 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 1: sheds more light on other people that we can hold 775 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: accountable and whether it's fies, the abuse, other matters, unmasking 776 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,920 Speaker 1: that sort of thing. All right. What this to me 777 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,799 Speaker 1: is a huge I mean, we remember Greg Craig going 778 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,680 Speaker 1: back to the Clinton administration, he's an attorney, he was 779 00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:30,840 Speaker 1: the Obama White House counsel, now charged by federal prosecutors 780 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:35,360 Speaker 1: for lies in Ukrainian work, in his case, lying hiding 781 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,879 Speaker 1: information related to the work. Of course, then we get 782 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:41,960 Speaker 1: back to the whole Foreign Agents Registration Act that really 783 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,919 Speaker 1: nobody had been held accountable till Muller came on board. 784 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,759 Speaker 1: What's your reaction to that? Do you know specifically that 785 00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 1: is he actually being brought up for lying to investigators? Yeah? 786 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,880 Speaker 1: Or a farah? Is it both of them or just 787 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,920 Speaker 1: the or just the lying charged by the Department's Foreign 788 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:04,320 Speaker 1: regis Agents Registration Act and also uh indicted for charges 789 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,480 Speaker 1: a lying and hiding information related to his work in Ukraine. 790 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,120 Speaker 1: If we're going to have a fair justice system, then 791 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,320 Speaker 1: then the law have to be equally enforced on both sides. 792 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 1: So uh, look the laws in place. I think that 793 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 1: if you are working for a foreign government and you're 794 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,879 Speaker 1: lobbying on their behalf, you should have to register. That's 795 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,879 Speaker 1: why we that's why we have the law. Um. Now, 796 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,360 Speaker 1: in the past, as you know, a lot of times 797 00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 1: this law has been enforced by somebody being able to 798 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,799 Speaker 1: go back in time and pay a fine and fill 799 00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,879 Speaker 1: out the proper form. So you know, hopefully this this 800 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 1: will set a marker down and make sure that you 801 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,560 Speaker 1: know every lobbyist, everybody in the swamp, it's going to 802 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: uh that's going to work for a foreign government. Look, 803 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:46,960 Speaker 1: let me just say, it's not not a crime to 804 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,560 Speaker 1: work for a foreign government, but if you are going 805 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,400 Speaker 1: to do that, you should, you know, make sure that 806 00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,279 Speaker 1: you're you're being on the up and up. So all this, 807 00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 1: these all this information is transparent for the American people 808 00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 1: to see with the release of these closed door testimonies, 809 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 1: and we've had a number of them now Bruce and Nelly, 810 00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,480 Speaker 1: or for example, we learned the Bruce or in fact 811 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:12,600 Speaker 1: warned everybody about the Steele dossier, telling everybody Clinton paid 812 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,879 Speaker 1: for it. Remember, the money was funneled through a law 813 00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,360 Speaker 1: firm to an research firm hiring Christopher Steele, a former 814 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 1: MY six agent, and that was not highlighted we're told 815 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:26,360 Speaker 1: in the FISA application at all, but basically a random 816 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 1: footnote about might have a political taint to it, rather 817 00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:33,359 Speaker 1: than speaking boldly and clearly that the opposition party paid 818 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 1: for it. So when we look at all of those things, 819 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,080 Speaker 1: I want to just dig down here. I see that 820 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,440 Speaker 1: as a fraud in the court. Now we know that 821 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:45,320 Speaker 1: James Comey signed the first FISA warrant in October twenty sixteen, 822 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,719 Speaker 1: which according to Rod Rosenstein, would mean that to the 823 00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,879 Speaker 1: best of his knowledge, it is true and accurate and 824 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:56,839 Speaker 1: has been verified and corroborated. But then he told Donald Trump, 825 00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,880 Speaker 1: president elect in January of twenty seventeen, that it's sala 826 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:04,800 Speaker 1: but not verified. Wouldn't that mean that James colemey light So, Sean, 827 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,920 Speaker 1: this is, as you know, one of our referrals is 828 00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,520 Speaker 1: on conspiracy as it relates to finds, abuse and what 829 00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:15,640 Speaker 1: we call other matters. So you can rest assured that 830 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 1: a lot of what you're talking about. There are the 831 00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 1: questions that we that we raise where we believe that 832 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 1: there is, you know, circumstantial evidence that this was this 833 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,760 Speaker 1: was that people did more than just make a mistake. 834 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:33,360 Speaker 1: This was not a mistake. You point out, they knew 835 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,759 Speaker 1: exactly where this information came from, and they chose to 836 00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,239 Speaker 1: do word salads to basically have it both ways where 837 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,560 Speaker 1: they could say, oh, we told the court, but in reality, 838 00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,480 Speaker 1: they didn't tell the court that would be that would 839 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 1: be a fraud biomission, and now that we know it's unverifiable. 840 00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:54,959 Speaker 1: They just basically took Hillary Clinton's political document and used 841 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:59,919 Speaker 1: it to violate citizens constitutional rights. But it also gave 842 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,359 Speaker 1: them a backdoor to spy on the Trump campaign, which 843 00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,920 Speaker 1: the Attorney General confirmed happened yesterday. But this is why 844 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:10,759 Speaker 1: what we're referring over is the statute of conspiracy. Right, 845 00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,720 Speaker 1: So they conspire to do a lot of bad things 846 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,279 Speaker 1: wide to federal judges. Okay, that's the easy one that 847 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,520 Speaker 1: you're that you're pointing out the instruct a justice. They 848 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:22,240 Speaker 1: defronted the United States of America. They abused their power. 849 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,840 Speaker 1: What we're pointing out in our referral is people conspired 850 00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:30,759 Speaker 1: to do this. Somebody conspired to decide not to tell 851 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:35,560 Speaker 1: the information that they knew directly that from Christopher Steele, 852 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,920 Speaker 1: that he was biased, that he was against Trump, that 853 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:41,640 Speaker 1: this was paid for by Democrats. And I find it 854 00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:45,280 Speaker 1: it's impossible for me to believe that all these people 855 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:49,160 Speaker 1: at the Justice Department and the FBI just had no idea. 856 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,360 Speaker 1: That's why they had to leave it a vague footnote 857 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:56,200 Speaker 1: in the fives applications not believable to the American people. 858 00:52:56,520 --> 00:53:00,840 Speaker 1: Bruce Ors testified that, in fact, he told everybody, warned everybody, 859 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,080 Speaker 1: and that was in August before the October filing. Let 860 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 1: me ask you about Hillary now that we have the 861 00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,440 Speaker 1: closed door testimony of people like struck In Page and 862 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,160 Speaker 1: James Baker, the General Counsel, in other words, the top 863 00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,759 Speaker 1: lawyer at the FBI who thought he was fighting. He 864 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:19,000 Speaker 1: believed Hillary should have been indicted. That's an interesting part 865 00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 1: of his transcript, that Doug Collins was able to give 866 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:26,000 Speaker 1: us yesterday two days in a row. But more importantly, 867 00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,560 Speaker 1: struck In Page said everything as it relates to the 868 00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:33,560 Speaker 1: Hillary investigation was being run through the Attorney General's office. 869 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:37,080 Speaker 1: That would be at the time Lauretta Lynch, who forced 870 00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,400 Speaker 1: Comey to refer to it not as an investigation but 871 00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,520 Speaker 1: a matter that was on a tarmac for forty five 872 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:46,880 Speaker 1: minutes just prior to the decision about Bill Clinton's wife 873 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:53,680 Speaker 1: supposedly talking about their grandchildren. And then, of course we see, 874 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,080 Speaker 1: in spite of what Comey had said, they were writing 875 00:53:56,120 --> 00:54:02,760 Speaker 1: an exoneration in May of twenty seventeen, twenty sixteen, before 876 00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 1: they actually interviewed Hillary or seventeen oh the witnesses. Hillary's 877 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,440 Speaker 1: interview happened on July second, twenty sixteen, and they allowed 878 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,920 Speaker 1: two other people in the room, and Peter Struck that 879 00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,840 Speaker 1: thought Hillary should win one hundred million zero did the interview, 880 00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:18,560 Speaker 1: and then Comey exonerated her after they had changed the 881 00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:23,160 Speaker 1: legal standard gross negligence to extreme carelessness. Do you believe 882 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:27,440 Speaker 1: this investigation was rigged? And if it was rigged, do 883 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:31,279 Speaker 1: we now need to reopen it? Well, that that's hard 884 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,160 Speaker 1: to say, because you know what we focused on. I 885 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,240 Speaker 1: want to make sure you know I'm not dodging your question. 886 00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,560 Speaker 1: Just remember what we looked at. We looked at Russia 887 00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,520 Speaker 1: collusion in debt. We looked at the fies abuse and 888 00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 1: other matters in debt. We looked at unmaskings in depth, 889 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,719 Speaker 1: and so a lot of that investigation was done by 890 00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,279 Speaker 1: Bob Goodlatt and the Judiciary Committee. They painstakingly went through 891 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 1: all of that. I mean, look, at the end of 892 00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,719 Speaker 1: the day, you have to It's it's complicated because you 893 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,520 Speaker 1: have to be able to prove spiracy. Did they conspire 894 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,520 Speaker 1: to do it? Now? Look from a layman out there 895 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,960 Speaker 1: who hasn't seen all the information, I mean, look, it 896 00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:09,759 Speaker 1: looks clear to me that they can well let me, 897 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,839 Speaker 1: let me put it this way. That's that's the point 898 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,400 Speaker 1: you're trying to make in the testimony, closed door testimony. 899 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,880 Speaker 1: We now know that they took forty emails random emails 900 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:22,440 Speaker 1: of the thirty thousand at forty and i'm the forty 901 00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:26,320 Speaker 1: four ward top secret classified and labeled as such the 902 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,640 Speaker 1: Espionage Act eighteen Usc. Seven ninety three. That is a 903 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,480 Speaker 1: clear violation of that law. That's that's a felony. And 904 00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,319 Speaker 1: that's why I assume James Baker was saying, yeah, we 905 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,759 Speaker 1: should charge her if we have equal justice, an equal 906 00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:41,160 Speaker 1: application of our laws. But clearly they didn't want that 907 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,120 Speaker 1: to happen. Now more importantly, if you know, every Democrat 908 00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:45,960 Speaker 1: is saying, well, maybe there's a nugget in the Muller 909 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,320 Speaker 1: report that will show that Donald Trump obstructed, Well, the 910 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,920 Speaker 1: obstruction statute needs to show intent and Donald Trump hoping 911 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,319 Speaker 1: that you know, General Flynn doesn't get them, you know, 912 00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:00,759 Speaker 1: and trouble is not well obstruction. He didn't stop the investigation. Look, look, 913 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,320 Speaker 1: I can easily comment on the on the the emails 914 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:08,719 Speaker 1: and the classified information on the emails. That that's it's 915 00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,279 Speaker 1: a crime. Okay, So it's it's plain and simple. It's 916 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,719 Speaker 1: a crime. So so what you know, the thing we 917 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,440 Speaker 1: don't know about because all those bad characters you just 918 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,160 Speaker 1: talked about were the ones who did the interview. We 919 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,920 Speaker 1: don't know what it is she said, right, so you 920 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,560 Speaker 1: know if she basically denied it, um, you know she 921 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,680 Speaker 1: and I assume that. I mean, they're going with, don't 922 00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,080 Speaker 1: we have intent? When you go back and when you 923 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,040 Speaker 1: delete the thirty three thousand, isn't their intent when you 924 00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,880 Speaker 1: ascid wash the hard drive with bleach bit? Isn't that intent? 925 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,960 Speaker 1: When you bust up your devices? Isn't that intent you 926 00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,560 Speaker 1: remove some cards? Well, and it's more than I'm any Look, 927 00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 1: it's not. It's it's not just that, but it's obstruction. 928 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:49,160 Speaker 1: It's obstruction of justice exactly. That's what that is. So 929 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,200 Speaker 1: you know, the other the other issue I would I 930 00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,480 Speaker 1: would say too, is that when you go back, you know, 931 00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,560 Speaker 1: you talked at about Clinton and a little bit earlier 932 00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,600 Speaker 1: here and when when they were working on that investigation, 933 00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,320 Speaker 1: and how the same people that were involved in the 934 00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,480 Speaker 1: Trump investigation colluding with Russia. People forget and this was 935 00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:12,040 Speaker 1: in our report that's largely overlooked that Tomy briefed Lynch 936 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:17,400 Speaker 1: and Yates early in the spring of twenty sixteen, so 937 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:21,400 Speaker 1: they were in full emotion and you know, briefing at 938 00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 1: the highest levels that they were investigating Trump for colluding 939 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,840 Speaker 1: with Russians. I mean, that's that's incredible. And so so 940 00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,040 Speaker 1: if you take that date right, which is you know, 941 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,720 Speaker 1: we only know it's the springtime of sixteen, so Mueller 942 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,680 Speaker 1: doesn't get appointed for a full twelfth thirteen months after that. 943 00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:45,000 Speaker 1: So you're telling me, with the most sophisticated intelligence agencies 944 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:49,400 Speaker 1: ever created on the planet, after thirteen months of investigation, 945 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,440 Speaker 1: you don't have one ounce of evidence that anybody was 946 00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:57,280 Speaker 1: colluding with Russians. Think about that, and that's key. Now 947 00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:00,320 Speaker 1: let me ask you this with the Assan News today. 948 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:04,560 Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit odd. Now. I know, 949 00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:06,400 Speaker 1: I've talked to many many people that are in the 950 00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,880 Speaker 1: intelligence community. I won't ask you to know you know 951 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,480 Speaker 1: things that I don't know, and the general consensus is, 952 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,760 Speaker 1: and I interviewed him in January twenty seventeen. I've interviewed 953 00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:19,440 Speaker 1: him on the radio and I've asked him, did you 954 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,600 Speaker 1: get this? I was very clear, we have the question. 955 00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:25,280 Speaker 1: Did do you get this from Russia or anybody associated 956 00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,800 Speaker 1: with Russia? He says, no, no state party not Russia. 957 00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,000 Speaker 1: Said all right, wouldn't the one person that would know 958 00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,920 Speaker 1: the answer to those questions be a Sange? Now I 959 00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 1: know he's being brought up on charges related to the 960 00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 1: Afghanistan release? Intert Why was he never approached? Because I've 961 00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,000 Speaker 1: got to believe that if he told me the truth, 962 00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:49,640 Speaker 1: they would be forensic proof of such. And if he 963 00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,680 Speaker 1: didn't tell the truth that it was Russia, there would 964 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:56,760 Speaker 1: be proof of that. As it relates to the what 965 00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:58,520 Speaker 1: do you think, Well, what I would say? What I 966 00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:02,480 Speaker 1: would say about assages that that that what he did 967 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,800 Speaker 1: with the Snowden and Manning leagues, it was was really 968 00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:09,760 Speaker 1: bad and really dangerous. Um, And I guess the case 969 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,240 Speaker 1: that they're making here now, look, it's not it's the 970 00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:16,800 Speaker 1: people that did those that perpetuate those crimes. Uh. They 971 00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,160 Speaker 1: were busted for it. In fact, one was released early 972 00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:22,760 Speaker 1: as I remember, as if I remember correctly, Um, Snowden 973 00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,479 Speaker 1: is still still on the run. Uh. You know, those 974 00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,640 Speaker 1: guys need to be you know, need to absolutely be 975 00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:32,080 Speaker 1: be prosecuted. The claim as I understand it, I have 976 00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:37,000 Speaker 1: not read the indictment yet, is that that Assage was 977 00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 1: working in conjunction to get UM to figure out ways 978 00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:44,360 Speaker 1: to break the codes down to get the information. So 979 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,520 Speaker 1: that would you know, that would be problematic for Assage 980 00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:49,680 Speaker 1: and that's got to look. He's got to be proven 981 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:55,280 Speaker 1: in court. As it relates to the Russia matters, you know, 982 00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,160 Speaker 1: that stuff is still classified at this time, and it's 983 00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,240 Speaker 1: hard for me to really comment on it. One of 984 01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,960 Speaker 1: the things that bothers me. You warned everybody in twenty 985 01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,160 Speaker 1: fourteen that Russia was going to pull those crap on 986 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,640 Speaker 1: us again and that they do it against other countries. 987 01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,840 Speaker 1: Nobody listened to you. You were right, you were right. 988 01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,400 Speaker 1: And now we see the Ukraine is admitting that they 989 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,240 Speaker 1: tried to help Hillary in the twenty sixteen election. Nobody, 990 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,520 Speaker 1: nobody cares because it's not against Donald Trump. And what 991 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 1: bothers me in all of this is, and this is 992 01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,000 Speaker 1: what was so serious about the Clinton email server issue, 993 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:30,080 Speaker 1: is that why why have we in all these years 994 01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:36,200 Speaker 1: as a country, knowing that these hostile regimes Russia is 995 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:41,000 Speaker 1: a hostile regime, pootin a hostile actor, why haven't we 996 01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:44,800 Speaker 1: built the defensive defenses to prevent this? This has gone 997 01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,800 Speaker 1: on for you know, thirty years. We haven't built a 998 01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:52,240 Speaker 1: defense capable of stopping this yet. Why well, we're always 999 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:54,760 Speaker 1: to be fair. I mean, we do spend a lot 1000 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,240 Speaker 1: of money, you know, trying to you know, trying to 1001 01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 1: build this infrastructure to combat the Chinese, Russians, Iranians, North 1002 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 1: Koreans of other bad actors. We spent a lot a 1003 01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,040 Speaker 1: lot of money doing it. Um. I think the more 1004 01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,840 Speaker 1: important point though, that you brought up there, Sean, is 1005 01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:18,160 Speaker 1: that that we had administration after administration who wanted to 1006 01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,240 Speaker 1: cozy up to putin. Okay, I mean going back to 1007 01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:25,120 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton, starting with Bill Clinton, then all through George W. Bush, 1008 01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:28,880 Speaker 1: all through the Obama administration, and largely if you go 1009 01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,760 Speaker 1: back and you look Donald Trump's position that they claimed, 1010 01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 1: oh my god, they were frightened by the words that 1011 01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:35,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was saying about the Russian It was no 1012 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:40,040 Speaker 1: different than what Hillary or Obama or George W. Bush 1013 01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:43,200 Speaker 1: or Condoleeza Rice or anybody. That's all. By the way, 1014 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,760 Speaker 1: the other one caught on tape colluting was your friend, 1015 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:50,080 Speaker 1: the cowardly shift. But Adam Schiff, Congressman, thank you for 1016 01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,640 Speaker 1: spending the hours with us, hour with us We appreciate 1017 01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:56,480 Speaker 1: your time. Very enlightening news round up, Information Overload. Jonathan Gilham, 1018 01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:59,720 Speaker 1: Danielle McLaughlin Next, Yeah, uh, As I said in my 1019 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:04,840 Speaker 1: information hearing, I am going to be reviewing both the 1020 01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:10,160 Speaker 1: genesis and the conduct of intelligence activities directed again at 1021 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:16,760 Speaker 1: the Trump campaign during two thousand and sixteen, and a 1022 01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,560 Speaker 1: lot has already been invested. A lot of this has 1023 01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,840 Speaker 1: already been investigated in a substantial portion of it has 1024 01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:27,240 Speaker 1: been investigated and is being investigated by the Office of 1025 01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:31,600 Speaker 1: Inspector General at the Department. But one of the things 1026 01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:34,880 Speaker 1: I want to do is pull together all the information 1027 01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:38,240 Speaker 1: from the various investigations that have gone on, including on 1028 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:42,560 Speaker 1: the Hill and in the Department, and see if there 1029 01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:46,959 Speaker 1: any remaining questions to be addressed, And can you share 1030 01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,360 Speaker 1: with us why you feel a need to do that. Well, 1031 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, for the same well, for the same reason 1032 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:55,680 Speaker 1: we're worried about foreign influence and elections. We want to 1033 01:02:55,720 --> 01:03:02,040 Speaker 1: make sure that during election. I think spying on a 1034 01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,760 Speaker 1: political campaign is a big deal. It's a big deal. 1035 01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:08,400 Speaker 1: I spy an attorney general giving credence to conspiracy theories. 1036 01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:13,480 Speaker 1: It feels like that basically the Attorney general gaslet the country. 1037 01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 1: Bill bar one of our nation's most respected lawyers, a 1038 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,600 Speaker 1: two time attorney general, turn in his tortoiseshell glasses for 1039 01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:23,000 Speaker 1: a tinfoil hatch. Bar has made really clear, I'm going 1040 01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:25,720 Speaker 1: to be an engine for the president of the United States. 1041 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,720 Speaker 1: I am not the attorney general for the country. The 1042 01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:31,680 Speaker 1: Attorney General of the United States in a dog whistle 1043 01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,280 Speaker 1: to Sean Hannity is a big deal. He is a 1044 01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:38,720 Speaker 1: flunkey for Donald Trump. He's not an independent thinker. He 1045 01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:42,400 Speaker 1: sounds good, he seems sincere. But if you look at 1046 01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,240 Speaker 1: what he does, not what he says, then you see 1047 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:48,480 Speaker 1: the actions of a hatchetman here. And it's really disturbing. 1048 01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:51,240 Speaker 1: To use another market word. Is he a tody? Is 1049 01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,480 Speaker 1: he saying the kind of language that Trump wants to 1050 01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:56,200 Speaker 1: hear him use. Well, Unfortunately, I think over the past 1051 01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,960 Speaker 1: several weeks, I've been very disappointed in Attorney General Bar. 1052 01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,520 Speaker 1: I had higher expectations for him. He shaped the narrative 1053 01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:05,120 Speaker 1: after the Muller report. He in fact, then also had 1054 01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:08,480 Speaker 1: this testimony today that I think was very carefully a 1055 01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:11,800 Speaker 1: nuanced as a way to try to support the Donald 1056 01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:16,040 Speaker 1: Trump's positions. So he acted more like a personal lawyer 1057 01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,120 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump today rather than the Attorney General, Well 1058 01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,640 Speaker 1: said today that spying to occur in the President's campaign. 1059 01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:22,960 Speaker 1: I'm wondering what your reaction was. Well, I thought it 1060 01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:29,080 Speaker 1: was both stunning and scary. I was amazed at that 1061 01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 1: and rather disappointed that the Attorney General would say such 1062 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:36,080 Speaker 1: a thing. That. You know, the term spying has all 1063 01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:41,200 Speaker 1: kinds of negative connotations, and I have to believe he 1064 01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:46,400 Speaker 1: chose that term deliberately. Donald Trump wanted his Roy Koune. 1065 01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:50,000 Speaker 1: He got his Roy Koune. Except he can tell Barr 1066 01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:54,439 Speaker 1: doesn't really feel it like Roy Kohne did it. He 1067 01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:58,120 Speaker 1: knows that what he's saying is unbelievably reckless, and you 1068 01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:01,560 Speaker 1: can almost see in his mind barging, Okay, how do 1069 01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:06,440 Speaker 1: I answer this question? So Trump doesn't tweet at me, 1070 01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 1: so I keep my job, but still not making jackass 1071 01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:16,680 Speaker 1: of myself for life. That's Fox News is in charge 1072 01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,760 Speaker 1: of the Justice Department. I mean, this really is an 1073 01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:25,880 Speaker 1: extraordinary adoption of the conspiratorial language that the President and 1074 01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:29,560 Speaker 1: his supporters in the news media used to describe the 1075 01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:34,560 Speaker 1: Mueller investigation the Justice Department. He's obviously been been watching 1076 01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:38,360 Speaker 1: a lot of Fox since since he became it became 1077 01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,920 Speaker 1: a private citizen. All Right. There you have the reaction, 1078 01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:46,360 Speaker 1: by the way, very predictable. And I've been warning that 1079 01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,680 Speaker 1: this would happen, that this would come, that this is real, 1080 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,959 Speaker 1: Bill barred the Attorney grumble, confirming what we have known 1081 01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,840 Speaker 1: now for a long time. The evidence now is not 1082 01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:58,240 Speaker 1: even in dispute. It is overwhelming, and it is incontrovertible 1083 01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:02,919 Speaker 1: on multiple fronts. Was spying on the Trump campaign? Yeah, 1084 01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:06,880 Speaker 1: by the Obama administration official, sum of whose voices I 1085 01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:10,720 Speaker 1: believe you heard right there in that montage. Now four examples, 1086 01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:15,440 Speaker 1: the nine month FBI investigation, the House Intelligence Committee investigation, 1087 01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:20,040 Speaker 1: the bipartisan Senate Committee investigation into Trump Russia collusion, and 1088 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:26,280 Speaker 1: now definitively the Muller report. No evidence of Trump Russia collusion, 1089 01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:29,040 Speaker 1: by the way, that was quoted in the Attorney General's letter. 1090 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:31,680 Speaker 1: We'll probably know more by Monday. If this is their 1091 01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:35,160 Speaker 1: reaction to just this small bit of information, What are 1092 01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,560 Speaker 1: they going to do as we now get these criminal referrals? 1093 01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,760 Speaker 1: What are they going to do now that barr has 1094 01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:47,520 Speaker 1: launched an investigation into the investigation. What have we been 1095 01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,800 Speaker 1: calling it for such a long period of time? Investigate 1096 01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,360 Speaker 1: the investigators. What are they going to do as it 1097 01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:58,040 Speaker 1: relates to the FISA abuse that we know occurred. We 1098 01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:02,440 Speaker 1: know that everybody in the upper rachelon FBIDJ was warned, 1099 01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,680 Speaker 1: They were warned in August to twenty sixteen by Bruce 1100 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:09,440 Speaker 1: Or that this Russian dossier was bought and paid for 1101 01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:14,160 Speaker 1: by Hillary Clinton and company funneled money law firm Perkins 1102 01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:19,160 Speaker 1: COOEE to a OP research firm Fusion GPS, to a 1103 01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 1: foreign agent spy, former m I six agent Christopher Steele. 1104 01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:27,400 Speaker 1: And we now know Christopher Steele does not himself stand 1105 01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:30,600 Speaker 1: by his dossier, claims it's raw intelligence. I don't know 1106 01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:33,560 Speaker 1: if any of its true. Fifteen fifty Well, the problem 1107 01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:37,200 Speaker 1: is is that fifty fifty intelligence the ones that he 1108 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:41,320 Speaker 1: doesn't stand by, as bruce Or warned she paid for it. 1109 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:44,680 Speaker 1: It's never been verified or corroborated. And Steele hated Trump 1110 01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:48,960 Speaker 1: and was invested in Trump losing, Well, that was never 1111 01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:52,480 Speaker 1: told the Fizer court. Well, then the Fizer court was 1112 01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:57,840 Speaker 1: given a fraudulent application. And remember McCabe says, no dossier, 1113 01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:01,240 Speaker 1: there is no fies a warrant, it wouldn't have happened, 1114 01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,800 Speaker 1: so they wouldhold information that's critical to the court, which 1115 01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:07,400 Speaker 1: is that Hillary paid for it. Now we know it's 1116 01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:10,840 Speaker 1: an unverifiable document that can't claim they verified it because 1117 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:14,280 Speaker 1: most of it's been debunked. And secondly, the author of 1118 01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:17,120 Speaker 1: the doscia doesn't support it. And they did it four 1119 01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:20,160 Speaker 1: separate times. They did this every three months, and they 1120 01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:25,040 Speaker 1: did it by getting by going after a Trump campaign associate, 1121 01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,080 Speaker 1: Carter paid. That gave them a backdoor into all things 1122 01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:33,080 Speaker 1: Trump world. It gave them everything. So spying did occur. 1123 01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:36,720 Speaker 1: That's another example. And by the way, we did have 1124 01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:41,480 Speaker 1: a three hundred and fifty percent increase in the surveillance 1125 01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:47,760 Speaker 1: unmasking of American citizens in twenty sixteen by the Obama administration. 1126 01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:51,040 Speaker 1: You know, even Samantha Powers at the UN you know, 1127 01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:54,639 Speaker 1: is out there three hundred unmasking requests that she says 1128 01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:57,000 Speaker 1: she I never did that. I don't know what that's about. 1129 01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:00,240 Speaker 1: And you can go there were other issues as well 1130 01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:04,840 Speaker 1: that came up. You know, we know, for example, look 1131 01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:08,400 Speaker 1: at the case of Stephan Helper. You know, we know 1132 01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:14,080 Speaker 1: that Helper was a professor, was asked by the FBI, 1133 01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,639 Speaker 1: engaged by the FBI to be an informant for the 1134 01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:21,280 Speaker 1: FBI to penetrate the Trump campaign. New York Times reported 1135 01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:25,400 Speaker 1: quote agents involved in the Russia investigation asked mister Helper, 1136 01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:29,000 Speaker 1: an American academic who teaches in Britain, to gather information 1137 01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:32,920 Speaker 1: on Carter Page and George Papadopoulos another Well, he was 1138 01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:36,880 Speaker 1: a low level Trump campaign foreign policy advisor, and Helper 1139 01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:40,280 Speaker 1: went beyond Page in Popadopolis and also contacting and seeking 1140 01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:44,840 Speaker 1: information from Sam Clovis. And it wasn't clear whether Helper 1141 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:49,280 Speaker 1: had the FBI's blessings to contact mister Clovis anyway. So 1142 01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:53,519 Speaker 1: the Helper case, as Brian Byron Yorke writes today, is 1143 01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:57,160 Speaker 1: more evidence that spying did occur. And as to the 1144 01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,240 Speaker 1: question of bar he continues, the question is whether or 1145 01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:03,639 Speaker 1: not it was adequately adequately predicated, meaning whether the FBI 1146 01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:08,839 Speaker 1: presented evidence sufficient to justify the surveillance. Well, the Grassy 1147 01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:12,640 Speaker 1: Graham memo tells us the bulk of the application and 1148 01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:16,679 Speaker 1: the FISA warrant was the phony Clinton bought and paid 1149 01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:21,080 Speaker 1: for Russian nasier. And we know they didn't tell the court, 1150 01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:25,200 Speaker 1: the judges, the FISA court judges that she paid for it. Well, 1151 01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:30,439 Speaker 1: that's spying.

Jonathan, you've been in 1154 01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:42,760 Speaker 1: this game, this business long enough. Sounds like spying to me. 1155 01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 1: It sounds like Barr told the truth and they can't 1156 01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,680 Speaker 1: handle it. Yeah, And I'll tell you that is one 1157 01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:53,360 Speaker 1: of the greatest montages that you've ever played, because there 1158 01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:56,040 Speaker 1: are several I don't know if people realize this, but 1159 01:10:56,120 --> 01:11:00,680 Speaker 1: there are several very important people that are making comments congresswomen, 1160 01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:06,320 Speaker 1: former head of the CIA, m NSA that are saying 1161 01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:11,639 Speaker 1: things so ridiculous that you know that they're they're trying, 1162 01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,439 Speaker 1: they're they're freaking out that they're now they see what's 1163 01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:16,920 Speaker 1: really going to happen. And this is the ultimate thing 1164 01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:21,240 Speaker 1: that they didn't want to happen when Hillary lost, was 1165 01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:24,080 Speaker 1: for this to go forward and nothing to come out. 1166 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:28,720 Speaker 1: And now the age has the ability to do a 1167 01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:33,599 Speaker 1: real investigation to see if spying occurred. The fact that 1168 01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,920 Speaker 1: she would ask whichever congresswoman that was would ask the 1169 01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:41,080 Speaker 1: Attorney general, well, why would you look into this? Is 1170 01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:44,040 Speaker 1: that that is the craziest, dumbest question I've ever heard. 1171 01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:48,000 Speaker 1: That's his job. That's why he's hired. The very fact 1172 01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:51,479 Speaker 1: that he said he's going to look into this should 1173 01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:55,840 Speaker 1: give people a sense of respect for him, a sense 1174 01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:59,080 Speaker 1: of strength that he's going to go and do his 1175 01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:02,679 Speaker 1: job that he was hired to do. And I think 1176 01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:05,000 Speaker 1: when we look at the other thing that really bothers 1177 01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,120 Speaker 1: me about that montage is the fact that we don't 1178 01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:14,200 Speaker 1: have journalism anymore. There's very few news agencies. We want 1179 01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:16,960 Speaker 1: to call them news agencies then actually stick to collecting 1180 01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:21,679 Speaker 1: information and disseminating information. These are echo chambers for the DNC, 1181 01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:25,240 Speaker 1: and I think this really bothers me tremendously because they 1182 01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:28,280 Speaker 1: have free reign of the airways to say whatever they 1183 01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:31,479 Speaker 1: want for the DNC, and they're going after government officials 1184 01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:34,479 Speaker 1: that are doing their job, and that's kind of shaky 1185 01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:38,400 Speaker 1: ground for illegal behavior. In my book, what do you 1186 01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:42,040 Speaker 1: think then, yell? I mean, you're a lawyer, so if 1187 01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:46,719 Speaker 1: you don't present information that is pertinent. I remember Andrew McKay, 1188 01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:53,120 Speaker 1: deput FI directors said no docier, no faizo arrant, But 1189 01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:56,559 Speaker 1: they never told the court that Hillary bought and paid 1190 01:12:56,600 --> 01:13:00,639 Speaker 1: for this Russian information. They never told the court. Christopher 1191 01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:05,040 Speaker 1: Steele that he himself didn't stand by his own dossier, 1192 01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:10,160 Speaker 1: that it's really unverifiable. Um there is to me that 1193 01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:15,879 Speaker 1: is beyond the constitutional violation of mister Page's rights against 1194 01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:20,840 Speaker 1: unreasonable search, seizure, warrant issues, etc. But more importantly, it 1195 01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:25,440 Speaker 1: gave them a backdoor into the Trump campaign by committing 1196 01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:28,600 Speaker 1: a fraud. We'll let you answer that on the other side, 1197 01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:33,160 Speaker 1: all right, Danielle. So they with they don't tell the 1198 01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,000 Speaker 1: FISA court Hillary paid for it. We now know that 1199 01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,599 Speaker 1: the author of the dossier doesn't even stand by his 1200 01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:42,240 Speaker 1: own dossier, has no idea if the information's true. They 1201 01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,960 Speaker 1: were all warned about this ahead of time, but yet 1202 01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:48,439 Speaker 1: they used it as the bulk of information and application. 1203 01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:52,320 Speaker 1: Is that a fraud on the court. The court was 1204 01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:56,840 Speaker 1: informed in a pretty lengthy footnote that the dossier was 1205 01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:00,840 Speaker 1: the result of a political candidate's work, so it says 1206 01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:07,839 Speaker 1: it might have a slight political taint, and the judge 1207 01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:09,960 Speaker 1: was able to knew that and was able to make 1208 01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:13,000 Speaker 1: their own atturn. But they know Hillary paid for it. 1209 01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:17,920 Speaker 1: You should have put him big bold letters. This document 1210 01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:21,680 Speaker 1: was bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton, the opposition 1211 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:27,439 Speaker 1: party candidate. Here's the thing, not as Jonathan, she doesn't 1212 01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:30,280 Speaker 1: want to deal with that fact. I want to. This 1213 01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:33,200 Speaker 1: is the context of all of this. Okay, carter Page 1214 01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:37,280 Speaker 1: was being was of concern to the FBI going back 1215 01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:41,080 Speaker 1: to twenty and thirteen because of his relationships and contacts 1216 01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,560 Speaker 1: with people that the FBI believed to be connected to 1217 01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:46,960 Speaker 1: Russian intelligence. So it wasn't that he was associated with 1218 01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:50,679 Speaker 1: the Trump campaign solely. He had been talking to the FBI. 1219 01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:52,759 Speaker 1: They had warned him to stay away from these people. 1220 01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:56,519 Speaker 1: He declined to do so. And George Papadopoulos, the reason 1221 01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:59,200 Speaker 1: he was swept up in this was because, as we 1222 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:01,640 Speaker 1: all know, he got drunk with an Australian diplomat in 1223 01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:04,759 Speaker 1: London and said that Russia had dirt on Hillary Clinton. 1224 01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,960 Speaker 1: That was May of twenty sixteen. I want our government 1225 01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,080 Speaker 1: to look into these kinds of things. I don't want 1226 01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:13,759 Speaker 1: our government to spy on me, on you, a candidate 1227 01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:16,000 Speaker 1: for president, but I do want them to do their job, 1228 01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:18,400 Speaker 1: and I do think they did their job. That's fine 1229 01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:21,400 Speaker 1: if I wants to investigate. But the DOJ's Office of 1230 01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:25,040 Speaker 1: Inspector General has been investigating the score yet, specifically whether 1231 01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,559 Speaker 1: there were fives abuses. So Let's wait and see what 1232 01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:29,719 Speaker 1: they come out. Was their last report was five hundred 1233 01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:31,639 Speaker 1: pages long, and that was looking at what the FBI 1234 01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:35,320 Speaker 1: did as related to the Clinton email investigation and her server. 1235 01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:38,120 Speaker 1: Let's let the OIG do the job that they're meant 1236 01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,639 Speaker 1: to do, all right, Jonathan, we'll give you the last 1237 01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:43,040 Speaker 1: word today. Well, you know, I've calmed down now after 1238 01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,720 Speaker 1: hearing that montage because that's I love that montage that 1239 01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:49,120 Speaker 1: you played earlier. But I gotta tell you, this whole 1240 01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:53,080 Speaker 1: thing is just utterly ridiculous in the way of how 1241 01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,720 Speaker 1: this case came about. Any agent that's ever worked with 1242 01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:59,320 Speaker 1: the fires that would tell you that information that has 1243 01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:02,200 Speaker 1: to get scrubbed, and there's a special unit that actually 1244 01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:05,479 Speaker 1: scrubs that information to make sure that it is viable 1245 01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:08,439 Speaker 1: and to make sure that it is real. That did 1246 01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:11,559 Speaker 1: not happen in this case. That is in and of 1247 01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:14,679 Speaker 1: itself a big deal. But the fact that this entire 1248 01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:18,760 Speaker 1: case was built upon false evidence and that they were 1249 01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:24,000 Speaker 1: allowed to go and yet spy on a presidential candidate 1250 01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:28,240 Speaker 1: is a major thing. What is even worse, though, is 1251 01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:32,719 Speaker 1: the fact that people who were elected to protect this country. 1252 01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:35,719 Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons why they're elected into office 1253 01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:39,800 Speaker 1: to protect this country. Are playing political games to the 1254 01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:44,639 Speaker 1: point where they were actually involved with the reasons why 1255 01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:47,280 Speaker 1: the spine was being done, and now they're trying to 1256 01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,400 Speaker 1: cover that up on a massive scale. This is the 1257 01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:51,920 Speaker 1: way I've ever seen. All Right, thank you both, We 1258 01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:54,599 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Quick break right back. We'll get to your 1259 01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:57,160 Speaker 1: phone calls next half. How are we a great Hannity tonight? 1260 01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:00,599 Speaker 1: Ninetiestern in DC today asking what people think about President 1261 01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:03,160 Speaker 1: Obama's comments on assimilation. Is it good? Is it bad? 1262 01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:05,840 Speaker 1: Is it racist? We're gonna ask, if you're going to 1263 01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:09,000 Speaker 1: have a coherent, cohesive society, then everybody has to have 1264 01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:13,400 Speaker 1: some agreed upon rules. It's you know, it's not racist 1265 01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:16,200 Speaker 1: to say, ah, if you're going to be here, then 1266 01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:19,280 Speaker 1: you should learn the language of the country that you 1267 01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,599 Speaker 1: just arrived at. These are comments from the president about 1268 01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:23,960 Speaker 1: immigration from this weekend, and we're just seeing what people think, 1269 01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:25,840 Speaker 1: and you can read it here. That's most definitely a 1270 01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:28,600 Speaker 1: racist at you. I don't know what he's going you 1271 01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:31,160 Speaker 1: can just thought, we can go on for extremely racist 1272 01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:33,600 Speaker 1: for him to believe that English is the only a 1273 01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:37,040 Speaker 1: language that we should know. I don't agree with that. 1274 01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:39,120 Speaker 1: Statement that you have to learn English in order to 1275 01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,040 Speaker 1: come to this country. So you're not in favor of 1276 01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:44,360 Speaker 1: any kind of assimilation at all. No, No, English isn't 1277 01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,080 Speaker 1: even dominant language in the world. I'm against the idea 1278 01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:49,840 Speaker 1: of forcing people to learn English or saying that if 1279 01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:51,680 Speaker 1: you don't learn English, you can't get a job here. 1280 01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:53,839 Speaker 1: Do you think people should adopt any parts of American 1281 01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:57,080 Speaker 1: culture or not? Really? No, I really know. I think 1282 01:17:57,120 --> 01:17:59,640 Speaker 1: people should be free to live their life whatever they 1283 01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:01,639 Speaker 1: want to if. Do you think you should be encouraged? 1284 01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:05,880 Speaker 1: I think that the resources should be made available to 1285 01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,200 Speaker 1: and accessible to everyone. Are you a favorite of open 1286 01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:12,040 Speaker 1: borders as well? Yes? Well, I mean you should. You 1287 01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:16,240 Speaker 1: should learn the language, but you can't learn it immediately 1288 01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:18,000 Speaker 1: if you don't know it. If you're going to have 1289 01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:21,320 Speaker 1: a coherent, cohesive society, then everybody has to have some 1290 01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:25,000 Speaker 1: agreed upon rules. I agree. I travel around the world. 1291 01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:28,400 Speaker 1: Just got back from Cuba. I can't get benefits from Cuba, man. 1292 01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,400 Speaker 1: I think it's good for Yeah, some people should learn 1293 01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:33,720 Speaker 1: English because they're not going to understand a lot. I 1294 01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:36,200 Speaker 1: agree wholeheartedly. If you're going to come to our country, 1295 01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,439 Speaker 1: you should assimilate. It's only fair if you're a citizen 1296 01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:42,160 Speaker 1: and you have you have the proper documents. Would you 1297 01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:46,439 Speaker 1: say that you support the president on this particular issue. Well, 1298 01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,639 Speaker 1: you know, if you're asking me about this particular comment. Yes, 1299 01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,920 Speaker 1: then that's about all I can say is I can 1300 01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:56,599 Speaker 1: understand and appreciate that comment. I think Trump is right, 1301 01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:00,920 Speaker 1: he needs to enforce this law. America should be first. 1302 01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:03,000 Speaker 1: So would it surprise you if I told you that 1303 01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:06,439 Speaker 1: these are President Obama's comments actually not President Trump soul 1304 01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:10,880 Speaker 1: that surprise you? Nope? I know I don't agree with 1305 01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:14,840 Speaker 1: a lot of President Obama's immigration policy ideas as well, 1306 01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:18,200 Speaker 1: so my ideas definitely wouldn't change. It doesn't surprise me 1307 01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:22,720 Speaker 1: at all if it's Obama Trump whoever, it's law's a law, 1308 01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:27,320 Speaker 1: I would Obama. I didn't talk to Sale. Let me 1309 01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:29,960 Speaker 1: call Obama and then just get him up on the phone. 1310 01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:32,200 Speaker 1: So does it surprise you at all if I tell 1311 01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:35,000 Speaker 1: you these are from President Obama as opposed to President Trump, 1312 01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:38,200 Speaker 1: these are actually President Obama's quotes to me, that would 1313 01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:40,000 Speaker 1: make a lot more sense. Would it surprise you if 1314 01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:44,720 Speaker 1: I said these are actually President Obama's comments? Um? No, 1315 01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,680 Speaker 1: not really. I don't think any of our presidents have 1316 01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:52,200 Speaker 1: been completely great. So so it would open up opportunities 1317 01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:55,040 Speaker 1: for them if they learned English. Yes, yeah, it would 1318 01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:58,120 Speaker 1: cut yes, most definitely. Yeah, so that sounds a little 1319 01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:00,400 Speaker 1: bit like you might be in favor of some parts 1320 01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:05,679 Speaker 1: of assimilation. Probably some so maybe some assimilation, but with 1321 01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:09,760 Speaker 1: respect for original cultures. Yeah. Do you get ever any 1322 01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:13,160 Speaker 1: heat from anybody for supporting Trump on that issue? Yeah? 1323 01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,200 Speaker 1: They have, they common but I really don't care because 1324 01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:18,640 Speaker 1: I've been around the world and I can't get what 1325 01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:21,120 Speaker 1: you can get only in America. You can do this. Now, 1326 01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:24,200 Speaker 1: that's extremely funny. Glad you want us twenty four now 1327 01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,160 Speaker 1: till the top of the hour, eight hundred nine four one, 1328 01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:29,160 Speaker 1: Sean told free telephone number red state dot com. Put 1329 01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:31,639 Speaker 1: that together, and what they did is, you know, people 1330 01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:35,840 Speaker 1: were asked if Trump's immigration quotes are racist. Yeah, then 1331 01:20:35,880 --> 01:20:38,880 Speaker 1: they turned out to be Obama's. You know, you think 1332 01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:44,680 Speaker 1: about it, What is the language of success for you know, 1333 01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,960 Speaker 1: all of this, put everything else aside? Will you be 1334 01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:51,400 Speaker 1: denied opportunities? Let's assume for a second, you come to 1335 01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:53,800 Speaker 1: this country, you come to this country legally, you go 1336 01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:58,640 Speaker 1: through the process. Are there going to be jobs and opportunities, 1337 01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:02,040 Speaker 1: many of them that you will not be qualified for 1338 01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:06,479 Speaker 1: if you don't speak English, and the answers, yes, so 1339 01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:10,240 Speaker 1: that would be assimilation. That would be English, the language 1340 01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,880 Speaker 1: of success. And if you care about people and you 1341 01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:17,479 Speaker 1: want them to be successful, that at some point has 1342 01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:20,280 Speaker 1: to be a requirement for them. But apparently I guess 1343 01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:25,200 Speaker 1: not for some others. Anyway, it's it's funny, I mean, 1344 01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:30,200 Speaker 1: through the prism of politics, isn't it. It's interesting to watch, 1345 01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:35,439 Speaker 1: you know, everybody's oh my gosh, Juliannassange hacked us. Well, 1346 01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:40,960 Speaker 1: we know Hillary's email server was hacked with classified mark classified, 1347 01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:45,879 Speaker 1: top secret, mark top secret, and special access programming information 1348 01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:47,760 Speaker 1: when they you know, we learned this week that they 1349 01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:53,679 Speaker 1: took a sampling of only forty emails from Hillary's thirty 1350 01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:57,720 Speaker 1: some odd thousand of them, and yeah, four of the 1351 01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:02,040 Speaker 1: forty were mark top secret, and and that's But if 1352 01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:04,680 Speaker 1: it Hillary, it's a different story. If it's just as 1353 01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:08,120 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh and a Trump appointee going on the Supreme Court, 1354 01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:12,880 Speaker 1: then I believe if it's the Lieutenant governor of Virginian man, 1355 01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:18,240 Speaker 1: not so much. You care about building walls and keeping 1356 01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:21,519 Speaker 1: our borders secure and helping dreamers, and you believe in 1357 01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:25,320 Speaker 1: DACA and all these things. Yeah, if Obama's president, but 1358 01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:27,439 Speaker 1: not if Trump is president on so many of the 1359 01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:32,080 Speaker 1: same issues. It is. It is time and time again, 1360 01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:35,479 Speaker 1: this hypocrisy just rains down on you. All right, let's 1361 01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:37,920 Speaker 1: get to our phones. Eight hundred and nine four one, Sean, 1362 01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:40,040 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program. 1363 01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:43,240 Speaker 1: We had a great Hannity tonight. Remember we're the only 1364 01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:46,960 Speaker 1: ones that interviewed Julian Osange, and we're gonna go back 1365 01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:50,519 Speaker 1: to that issue as well. You know, I go back 1366 01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:53,360 Speaker 1: to an original question I asked earlier in the program. Now, 1367 01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:59,280 Speaker 1: Julian Assange was steadfast in my interviews with him and 1368 01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:02,599 Speaker 1: saying that it was not Russia, that it was not 1369 01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:07,040 Speaker 1: a state, not a state party. Okay, maybe he's parsing 1370 01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:10,320 Speaker 1: of words in some way. And if you wanted to 1371 01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:16,439 Speaker 1: get to the truth of exactly where the information, I 1372 01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:20,160 Speaker 1: don't care if it's the Chelsea Manning Afghanistan tape which 1373 01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:23,439 Speaker 1: goes back in twenty ten, or whether or not it's 1374 01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:26,680 Speaker 1: the the NC emails, Podesta emails, whatever it happens to be. 1375 01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:32,160 Speaker 1: I've got to imagine that probably the one guy that 1376 01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:35,640 Speaker 1: has the answer as to where he got his information 1377 01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:39,720 Speaker 1: from would be Julian Assange. And yet, as far as 1378 01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:42,639 Speaker 1: I know, the only lawmaker to ever make an attempt 1379 01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:45,000 Speaker 1: to go see the guy and talk to him and 1380 01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:49,040 Speaker 1: ask him was Dana Rohbacher. I don't know anybody else 1381 01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:52,639 Speaker 1: that did. But you would think forensically he might actually 1382 01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:56,920 Speaker 1: have the evidence that could say I got it here. Now, 1383 01:23:56,960 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 1: maybe that leads back to a Russian agent of some kind. 1384 01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:04,000 Speaker 1: Maybe it doesn't. Maybe they don't want the answer, maybe 1385 01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:07,640 Speaker 1: they didn't want the answer. Maybe you know, most in 1386 01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:10,400 Speaker 1: the intel community they will say, yeah, they believe the 1387 01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:15,439 Speaker 1: information came from Russia or these pot companies. And you know, 1388 01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:18,480 Speaker 1: the sad thing is is all of this is preventable 1389 01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:23,120 Speaker 1: because we've been warned twenty fourteen, Devin noonez warned the world. Yes, 1390 01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:25,840 Speaker 1: the Russians are going to do what they always do, 1391 01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:29,799 Speaker 1: which is trying to wreak havoc on the American electoral system. 1392 01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:33,920 Speaker 1: And this time, you know, they tried again. Nobody seems 1393 01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:37,880 Speaker 1: to care that we have evidence. Ukraine wants to give 1394 01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:42,160 Speaker 1: us the evidence, and nobody seems interested of their attempts 1395 01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:47,000 Speaker 1: to help influence the twenty sixteen election in Hillary Clinton's favor. 1396 01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:50,559 Speaker 1: And yet we have a case where Joe Biden's son, 1397 01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:54,519 Speaker 1: you know, is involved in a business deal and that 1398 01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:57,800 Speaker 1: his son is being investigated by a prosecutor, and Joe 1399 01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:00,559 Speaker 1: Biden then leverage his taxpayer money and we have that 1400 01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:03,120 Speaker 1: on tape and brags about, well, I'm only here six hours. 1401 01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:05,720 Speaker 1: Either he's gone or you don't get the money. You 1402 01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:08,200 Speaker 1: don't trust me, call oh baba, he's gonna do what 1403 01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:11,439 Speaker 1: I say. Said, I'm not gonna We're not going to 1404 01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:14,759 Speaker 1: give you the billion dollars. I said, you have no authority. 1405 01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:17,240 Speaker 1: You're not the president, the president said, I said, calling him, 1406 01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:20,719 Speaker 1: I said, I'm telling you're not getting a billion dollars. 1407 01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:23,080 Speaker 1: I said, you're not getting a billion. I'm gonna be 1408 01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:24,920 Speaker 1: leaving here. And I think it was what six hours? 1409 01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,880 Speaker 1: I look, I said, leaving six hours. If the prosecutors 1410 01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:30,519 Speaker 1: not fired, you're not getting the money. Oh son of 1411 01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:35,880 Speaker 1: him got fired and is creepy crazy uncle Joe. What 1412 01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:39,519 Speaker 1: he didn't realize? Maybe he did. Why did he want 1413 01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:42,160 Speaker 1: him fired so bad? I wanted him fired because the 1414 01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:45,000 Speaker 1: guy was investigating his own son. That's why the guy 1415 01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:47,120 Speaker 1: had to be fired to get the billion dollars and 1416 01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:51,000 Speaker 1: he's using taxpayer money to leverage and end an investigation 1417 01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:54,519 Speaker 1: into his own son. Pretty unbelievable. This will be a 1418 01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,719 Speaker 1: big issue in the campaign, as reported by John Solomon 1419 01:25:57,800 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 1: investigated by him at the Hill. All right, let's get 1420 01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:03,679 Speaker 1: to our busy telephones eight hundred nine four one, Sean, 1421 01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:05,240 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program, right, 1422 01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:08,519 Speaker 1: let's say how to Laurie is in Austin. Hi, Laurie, 1423 01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:11,400 Speaker 1: how are you. We're glad you called. Hi, Sean. It's 1424 01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:13,479 Speaker 1: an honor to talk to you.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know 1427 01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:22,760 Speaker 1: that I got married almost twenty years ago at West 1428 01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:27,040 Speaker 1: Point to my Army's football husband. Congratulations, good for you. Well, 1429 01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:30,360 Speaker 1: he's a good dude. And we chose to move our 1430 01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:36,760 Speaker 1: five kids from Boston to Boston, so from Taxachusetts to 1431 01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:41,519 Speaker 1: tax less Texas. And I can't even tell you the difference. 1432 01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:44,679 Speaker 1: The first year we got a refund check from the government. 1433 01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:46,439 Speaker 1: I looked to my husband, I begged him. I said, 1434 01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:49,280 Speaker 1: please put in a bank account, don't touch it, make 1435 01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:51,920 Speaker 1: believe it's not there. Because they're going to want it back. 1436 01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:54,880 Speaker 1: I didn't believe that we were getting money back from 1437 01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:58,000 Speaker 1: the government was such a foreign concept. In this year, 1438 01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:01,040 Speaker 1: we are going to be getting the single largest tax 1439 01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:03,640 Speaker 1: return in forty six years on planet Earth. And I 1440 01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:07,760 Speaker 1: want to say a huge thank you to present charm Well. 1441 01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:10,559 Speaker 1: You want to know what the irony of this is is? Um, 1442 01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:13,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay more this year. Now. I've always said 1443 01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:15,439 Speaker 1: it's not about me, and I'm by the way. I'm 1444 01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:17,599 Speaker 1: so happy for you because that's money you can put 1445 01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:19,800 Speaker 1: away for your kids, maybe get a new car, maybe 1446 01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:22,000 Speaker 1: go out to dinner and save for college fund. I 1447 01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:25,960 Speaker 1: don't know, whatever you guys want to do. Life is expensive. 1448 01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:29,320 Speaker 1: I always say to every single person that works for me, 1449 01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:32,120 Speaker 1: they all get talks about money. Linda, right, how many 1450 01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:35,920 Speaker 1: times have you heard the talk that I've given times. 1451 01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:38,120 Speaker 1: I haven't given it to Katie yet, but she's getting 1452 01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:41,240 Speaker 1: it and Kylie's going to get it too. And what 1453 01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:45,880 Speaker 1: do I always say about money? Money is read um exactly. 1454 01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:50,040 Speaker 1: And you know every year I like to give everybody 1455 01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:52,760 Speaker 1: that works for me. It doesn't matter what position. We 1456 01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:56,160 Speaker 1: have a very big TV staff, we have a kind 1457 01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:59,240 Speaker 1: of small I we'll call it familiar. Right, we have 1458 01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:03,519 Speaker 1: a like family UM radio staff, and I'd like to 1459 01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:05,840 Speaker 1: give people bonuses. I try to be generous, and I'm 1460 01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:08,439 Speaker 1: try and consider how hard everybody works every year, and 1461 01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:11,439 Speaker 1: we try and we try and build in good raises 1462 01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:13,439 Speaker 1: when people deserve it and all that sort of thing. 1463 01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:17,000 Speaker 1: And the thing is that I you know, when let's 1464 01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,599 Speaker 1: say you give somebody a five thousand dollar bonus, that's 1465 01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:24,240 Speaker 1: a lot of money. Right, I'll always say to people, Yeah, 1466 01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:27,800 Speaker 1: don't don't blow this money, you know, maybe do get 1467 01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:31,400 Speaker 1: one thing you want, put the rest away, because then 1468 01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:35,759 Speaker 1: it gives your freedom to make better choices, maybe freedom 1469 01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:37,439 Speaker 1: at one point. Maybe you want to buy a house, 1470 01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:39,240 Speaker 1: you want to get a car, all those things. So 1471 01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:46,920 Speaker 1: though for years red states have low tax states or 1472 01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:50,599 Speaker 1: no tax state income tax states, they have not had 1473 01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:53,960 Speaker 1: the benefit of states like New York, California, New Jersey 1474 01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:57,599 Speaker 1: that have very high state income taxes, and as a result, 1475 01:28:57,720 --> 01:29:01,240 Speaker 1: they never got to deduct that money from their taxes, 1476 01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:05,240 Speaker 1: and in many ways they were subsidizing a benefit for 1477 01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:10,519 Speaker 1: states that elect these tax and spend politicians. Now I 1478 01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:13,439 Speaker 1: didn't vote for Andrew Cuomo. I haven't voted for any 1479 01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:17,160 Speaker 1: Democrat in New York. But as a result of the 1480 01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:20,800 Speaker 1: President's tax cuts, he's not giving that benefit to high 1481 01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:23,920 Speaker 1: tax states anymore. And frankly, I don't think it's fair 1482 01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:27,200 Speaker 1: that he did that the government did before him, because 1483 01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:31,800 Speaker 1: he's given a benefit and rewarding states for taxing their citizens, 1484 01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:35,439 Speaker 1: their you know, residents even more. And so as a result, 1485 01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:39,800 Speaker 1: you see this mass exodus out of states like New York, California, 1486 01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,720 Speaker 1: New Jersey, and Illinois. And I don't blame people. Tax 1487 01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:47,000 Speaker 1: the rich, tax the rich. We did. He did bid 1488 01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:51,519 Speaker 1: the rich leave bye bye. I mean, it's crazy anyway. 1489 01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:55,960 Speaker 1: Eight hundred nine one Shawn, Congratulations, Laurie. Happy anniversary to 1490 01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:58,360 Speaker 1: you as well, and we wish you all the best. 1491 01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:02,320 Speaker 1: Let's say, how to Bobby's in Florida.

I listen all 1494 01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:11,280 Speaker 1: the time and watch their most every night. If I 1495 01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:13,920 Speaker 1: fall asleep and crash early, I've got it recorded so 1496 01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,680 Speaker 1: I still catch it. I really appreciate it. Thank you. 1497 01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:21,920 Speaker 1: Oh welcome. I was calling about Uncle Bernie's comments about 1498 01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:24,800 Speaker 1: the new Medicare for all. It's going to be a 1499 01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:28,040 Speaker 1: great boon to the whole country, and nobody will have 1500 01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:31,840 Speaker 1: to pay for it, and the economy's scale is going 1501 01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:33,720 Speaker 1: to save her money so they can afford it, which 1502 01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:37,360 Speaker 1: is a bunch of baloney. Okay. I paid into medicare 1503 01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:40,760 Speaker 1: my whole working life a lot, and now i'm time 1504 01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:44,679 Speaker 1: against retirement. I still pay into medicare as it's deductive 1505 01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:47,639 Speaker 1: for my social security. And I don't think it's right 1506 01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:50,880 Speaker 1: that I and other people along the line have paid 1507 01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:53,000 Speaker 1: all that money in and now all you have to 1508 01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:55,360 Speaker 1: do is sneak across the border and get the medicare 1509 01:30:55,439 --> 01:30:58,280 Speaker 1: for free. That's just not right. It's gonna call their 1510 01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:02,439 Speaker 1: hostels or emergency room. Doctors are gonna leave. They're gonna 1511 01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:05,960 Speaker 1: just retire early and get out. I talked to many 1512 01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:07,720 Speaker 1: of them who are friends, and they tell me that 1513 01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:11,160 Speaker 1: if that ever happens, they're done. So it's only going 1514 01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:14,120 Speaker 1: to make the system work. It's not gonna work. And 1515 01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:17,559 Speaker 1: I just don't think that they're treating everybody fairly when 1516 01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:20,479 Speaker 1: they do that. I grew listen. I agree completely with you. 1517 01:31:20,720 --> 01:31:22,840 Speaker 1: I gotta take a quick break.
