It's what you've been waiting for all day. 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.680 The Buck Sexton Show joined the conversation called Buck toll 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.640 free at eight four four nine hundred Buck that's eight 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:49.760 four four nine hundred to eight to five the future 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:55.200 of talk radio. Buck Sexton, Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Everybody, 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.120 great to have you with me, an honor, a privilege, 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.240 and a pleasure. Thank you so much for or coming 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:05.720 to hang out, coming to join in this meeting of patriots, 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:09.240 like minded individuals. We are gonna dive into the news 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.880 of the day and cover stuff that I doubt you'll 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:16.440 hear anyone else get into. And we'll certainly talk about 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.400 things in a way you won't hear anyone else talk about, 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:21.760 or in a way you won't hear from them. So 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:26.240 there we go, eight four four five eight four buck 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:31.040 quick roadmap to the show. We will get into the 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.520 latest on five's abuse because we have to um, can't, 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:40.319 can't skip over that one. The media just a White 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.920 House under siege right now because of the Rob Porter stuff, 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:46.560 which I'm gonna I'm trying to not play the media 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.960 game here because they're running stories on this that really 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:50.880 have nothing to do even with Rob Porter. They just 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:52.600 want to keep the name and the story going as 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.400 much as they can. But we will discuss what's going 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.120 on to some at some level, at least in the 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.760 in the White House right now and surrounded with this 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:05.840 a frenzy. Also, the dock negotiations are underway right now, 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.359 so deferred action for childhood arrivals. Will there be an 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:13.799 immigration deal? I think the answer is no, but we 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.080 still should talk about it because why why do I 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:20.880 think the answer is no? They're in therein lies the 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:25.200 the payoff. Therein lies the important stuff on a policy level. Also, 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:30.040 I think I mentioned infrastructure, but then some national security somehow, 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.720 some stuff that's getting just left on the cutting room 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.600 floor by most of the networks. And this will get 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.160 to later probably back half of the show, not exactly 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.880 sure where, but how many you knew that there was 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:42.680 a U S air strike to kill the whole bunch 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:49.680 of Russians recently, so US planes blew up a bunch 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:54.000 of Russian nationals in Syria US fighters. Do we want 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.800 to get into this? I think we do. Rather important 0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.720 what's going on right now in Syria because we have 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.040 US forces in harm's way and we have a cauldron 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:07.280 of multiple conflicts playing out in what I like to 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.920 refer to I believes it's an accurate term for the 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:15.360 Second Syrian Civil War. Pardon the alliteration, but that is 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:19.840 what's going on there. We will discuss that. To be sure, 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:24.840 A lot going on in Syria and on the Anti 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:29.119 Isis well beyond the anti Iis fight. Really, that's that's 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:30.959 the main thrust of it. We will get into that though. 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.960 But yeah, we have not only a US US fighter 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.800 planes taking out some Russians on the ground. Now there 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.520 are Russian contractors. I'll I'll talk to you about the 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.800 details of it, right. I don't want to lead you astray, 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.040 make you think that this is it was an intent. 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.440 It wasn't intentional. We weren't trying to hit Russian but 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.920 it just goes to show you what's at stake here. 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.080 Russia still got a whole lot of nukes. This is 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.000 not something that we want to play around with, and 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:00.720 they know it and we know it. We're like, oh gosh, 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.240 there were Russians there. We'll get into this. And also 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:10.040 an Iranian drone shot down in Israeli airspace. That's a 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.480 big drone, not like not a drone that you're gonna 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.080 see flying around the beach kid throws up in the air, 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.799 big drone, military drone. We'll talk about that as well. 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.479 That'll be coming up later on in the show. Oh 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.360 and also maybe some North Korea fallout. The short version 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.919 is everyone who knows anything agrees with me that the 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.400 media's coverage over the weekend of what was going on 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:37.480 at the Winter Olympics was appalling. Appalling the speed with 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:42.120 which the mainstream media will find an excuse to favorably 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:46.560 compare literally the worst government on the planet right now 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:51.560 to our current government in this country. It is. It 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:56.800 is jaw dropping, and it is disgraceful, and it's something 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.960 that we should not forget anytime soon. Oh and there's 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:03.919 some other the intel chiefs we're speaking today about worldwide threats, 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.280 you know, for hours and hours. There were some interesting 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:08.280 things that came out of that though, and I will 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:12.599 address that But first before we get into that, we 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:16.000 have more on the You can call it really the 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.640 fall out of the Susan Rice email that I discussed 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:20.920 with you yesterday. I've had people asking me all day 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:25.360 to day, Um, people in the in the business was 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.040 over at Fox. People over there were asking me in 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.159 the green room, what do you think about this? It 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:33.680 seems so clumsy. So this is what you have to 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:38.120 remember when you're talking about Clinton's and Obama era officials. 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.000 Don't give them the benefit of thinking, well, you know, 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.479 they have no scruples, so just put that aside for 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.320 a second. But don't give them the benefit of well, 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.920 that's so clumsy. There's no way they would do that. 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.320 Remember when we're talking about the Clinton Obama era of 0:05:55.440 --> 0:06:00.000 governance in this country, the eight years of Barack Obama 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.920 UH and Hillary Clinton and other top officials around them 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.919 running the show. You had things like the Secretary of 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.159 State violating classified protocols over a hundred times with the 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.400 Homebrew server, you know all about that. You had the 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:20.040 sitting Attorney General meet with Bill Clinton, the wife of 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.839 the highest profile political target of a criminal investigation in 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:27.000 the country probably ever in some ways right or you know, 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:33.360 for an election year at least. Um, that's rather important 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:37.040 and rather clumsy stuff, isn't it? So is it really be? Oh? 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.040 And Susan Rice, as I was pointing out to people 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:43.360 today at Fox, was also she was camera. She was 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.359 US and vassador Unitations or National Security advisor at the time. 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:51.279 But after I think Nation Security advisor. After Benghazi, she 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:55.800 was the one who went on TV and said that 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:57.679 it was a peaceful you know, it was a peaceful 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.960 protest that turned into something else. She was the first 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:02.760 one who went out there on the Sunday shows and 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.080 lied about Benghazi. There was no way we weren't going 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.120 to figure that out. And thankfully we've had Tonto and 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.440 other guys come forward to tell us really what happened there, 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.960 although they're still under some restrictions about what they can 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:19.560 talk about. But so so you can't take this, Oh, 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.480 she wouldn't do something that's so obvious as right herself 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.040 a note that says it was all done by the book. 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.720 Oh yeah, Obama didn't want anything, nothing bad to happen 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.800 to to Trump with the Russia collusion stuff. Just let 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:36.400 that go the way it's going. No interference at all. 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.960 I just want to make sure, you know, Note the time, 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.560 Note the email, no interference at all. You say, oh, Buck, 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.880 that's not this isn't slick. It's too obvious to be effective. 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:48.600 And I would respond to you if you said that, 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.400 And I had to respond to some people today, I 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.440 meet meeting with meeting with Bill Clinton on the tarmac. 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.800 You're you're the attorney general. There's pressed there that is 0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:00.800 that is that obvious? Remember who you were dealing with 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.960 when we are talking about whether you want to call 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:08.200 it the swamp, the Obama era deep state, all these 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:12.360 different forces working against the Trump administration and the Trump 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:17.920 campaign before that. They were drunk with their own power, 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:22.120 and they were certain that they weren't gonna get caught. 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:29.640 And when people are arrogant, like the former Obama officials 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:35.400 were talking about here, were clearly comy. McCabe yeah, struck. 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.640 I mean this guy, the FBI guy struck, Yeah, he was. 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:39.760 He was a senior FBI person. By the way, It's 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.800 not just some guy who's kicking indoors checking to see 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.240 if college kids are counterfeiting with the copy machine or something. 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.120 I mean he actually I think that would technically be 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.000 a secret service operation. But maybe that's FBI. Now, the 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.680 point is he was a senior guy, and he was 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:58.360 operating with terrible personal operational security because he didn't think 0:08:58.360 --> 0:08:59.679 it was gonna get caught. It wasn't gonna be a 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:05.880 big deal. So Susan Rice writing herself an email that's 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:10.080 basically an attempt to give the media talking points. Should 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.080 they should? They need a trail of crumbs left for 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.480 them to find this? Right? I mean, should they? Should 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:20.240 this ever actually come out? It's obvious, but so much 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:22.840 of what they did is obvious. It's sloppy. But so 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.280 much of what Hillary Hollow and all the rest of 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.640 them did was sloppy. I don't think that we're dealing 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:33.200 with criminal masterminds here. We are not. We are absolutely not. 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.720 They've had the media covering for them all along, and look, 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.120 Hillary gets away with a lot even when she's caught. 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.360 You also have to factor that into the thinking of 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.440 these officials. And I've been telling you that all along, 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.880 even with the Figes abuse that is coming out that's 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:52.880 being on earth as we go forward, if the worst 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.720 case scenario was exposed here, beyond any doubt, right that 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.240 there was, and I think we're there, but it's not 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.880 provable yet, but certainly seems to be the preponderance of 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.880 the evidence that there was this political targeting. Carter Page 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:06.680 was an excuse to look at all the different Trump 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.640 people and if we get them dead to rights on that. 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.040 I don't think that the Democrat Party and the left 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.400 is going to turn on anybody who's implicated in that 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.439 and say, oh gosh, what have you done. Know, they're 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.080 gonna say, well, you know what they saw the danger 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.080 of Trump is M, who you know, is worse than 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.679 Kim Jong un. They saw the danger of Trump is 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:28.120 M and they did whatever was necessary. They're heroes of 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:32.000 our democracy. But it's a republic. But you know what 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:37.240 I mean, that's what will happen. So know how the 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.599 other side thinks and operates very important. You know, I 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.480 don't want to say know the enemies and not enemy, 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:45.120 they're fellow Americans. But they've made some very very poor 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:49.400 decisions and they've done some very bad things. You have 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.120 to know the other side. And that's why I'm not 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.480 willing to dismiss out of hand that Susan Rice would 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:57.320 write to see look it, it's just it's suspicious. There's 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.920 nothing illegal about her writing this email to herself. There's 0:10:59.920 --> 0:11:03.000 no thing that I can say about it other than well, 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:06.120 that looks weird. And now, given everything else we know, 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:12.160 you've got to say to yourself. H m hmm. Yeah, 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.960 by the book everything, just by the book, last day, 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:19.000 last day before. She no longer is in a position 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.920 to create a record, right to create a paper trail. 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.440 It just seems a bit strange to me. And this 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.240 is the same person who went on TV. This is 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.840 the same senior Obama administration of Fisher who went on 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:39.440 TV and just blatantly ball face lied to the American 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:45.480 people about Benghazi and was promoted for it from the 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.800 role of US Ambassador to the United Nations to National 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:54.360 Security advisor promoted by the Obama administration. Remember that, folks, 0:11:54.440 --> 0:12:01.840 her loyalty to Obama over country was rewarded. So you 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:06.400 don't someone's really gonna tell me this beyond her, Nah, 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:08.960 I don't think so. I don't think so. We also 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:13.319 have some more on the Carter Page situation here, very 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.520 very important stuff. Our friend Andy McCarthy has been out 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.400 there writing about this and doing some great work on it. 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.760 It's just so interesting. The more we know about fis 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.280 a targeting and what's going on here, the worse it looks. 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.400 I keep waiting for them to provide us with some information, 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.000 you know, Democrats and Adam Schiff and all this, to 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.560 give us the data that counters the overall argument and 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:38.439 makes all this not look just so fetted, so repulsive. 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.679 I haven't seen it yet. In fact, the more information 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.480 we get, the more clear it is to me that 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:53.320 very very disturbing stuff went on here. Illegal, I think, 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:57.520 so unethical. I know. So we will get into that 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:05.560 and more after the break. Stay with me. Yeah, what 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.840 our assessment is as of the present is, in fact, 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:14.760 what it began spontaneously in Benghazi as a reaction to 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.559 what it transpired some hours earlier in Cairo, where, of course, 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.920 as you know, uh, there was a violent protest outside 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:26.400 of our embassy, sparked by this hateful video. But you 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.679 do not agree with him that this was something that 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:32.559 had been plotted out. We did not have information at 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.840 present that leads us to conclude that this was premeditated 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:41.880 or pre planned. Lying lying to the American people there. 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.680 Former U S Ambassador to the U N Susan Rice 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.679 on the Sunday Shows right after Benghazi, I mean days 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:53.800 days after Benghazi just lying, lying about it. Oh yeah, 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.040 it's about the video wasn't pre planned, as we know, 0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:01.240 because we eventually got access on the Hillary emails. Hillary 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.120 told Chelsea or Chelsea told Hillary, I forget who. Yeah, 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.600 it was terrorist attack and that was the day of 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:09.360 But she went on TV and said that, as you know, 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:14.160 just I'm I'm trying to make sure that we're evaluating 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:19.320 these different figures, different people in the administration before this one, 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.280 who are are now implicated in so much of the 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:26.480 foul play, the political targeting, the abuse of FISA to 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.520 get after Trump, which I'm going to get into in 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:35.720 a moment here in some detail. But don't give them 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:39.160 too much credit. Don't think that this is all they're 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.000 all criminal masterminds and that they know exactly what they're 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.160 doing and they never make a mistake, right. No, they 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:51.000 actually trust that the system is so corrupt and so 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:55.120 favorable to them, swamp dwellers, if you will believe that 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:59.280 the swamp has their back, and they are generally correct. 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:03.680 They have been maybe up until now. We will see, 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:09.040 but that's the operating assumption that they use is oh, well, 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.680 I'm even I can do this thing, and even if 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:15.000 I get caught, they'll they'll bail me out. The press 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.560 will come to my press will come to my aid, 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:21.600 and the system and as we see it, we used 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:24.400 to believe that it was the media, and you know, 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.320 the media was always backing up the Democrats all the 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:30.800 time and tilting the scales towards the progressive left in 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.880 this country. Now we know that there are some very 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:38.960 powerful elements within the fourth branch of government, so to speak, 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.680 not really a branch, but the bureaucracy, the federal bureaucracy, 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:48.280 that has taken much the same role. Um. So there 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:52.840 you have it, taking much the same role as what 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.760 the media has done. They're just doing it from the 0:15:54.880 --> 0:16:00.480 role of the Department of Justice. They are are doing 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.880 it from the intelligence agencies. But they are trying to 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.800 tilt the scales towards the left as well. It's very 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.840 troubling to see that happening. So now a bit on 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.960 the So that's on the Susan right, Emil. Look, maybe 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.200 it's nothing, Maybe she just wrote a weird email to herself. 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.080 But I just refused to dismiss it out of hand 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:21.040 because people tell me I should. I don't. I don't 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:25.680 like that Carter page interesting piece up by Alex Pappas 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:30.120 on Fox News fox News dot Com talking about the 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:35.240 real implications of what it means that carter Page was 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.200 under FISA warrant and also, you know, I know Andy McCarthy, 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.160 and I just realized, now we should have called I didn't. 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:44.080 We'll get Andy on tomorrow. Maybe you're later this week, producer, Mike. 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.920 Let's let's reach out put out the Andy signal, uh, 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.000 which we should work on what that sounds like or 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:54.160 looks like. But here's the very important thing. One of 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:59.920 the arguments you heard originally about the one of the 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:05.320 arguments that you heard um when we're talking about carter 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:09.000 Page and fives warrants and all that stuff, is that 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:15.879 carter Page was already on the FBI's radar and stopped, 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.720 you know, stopped working for the Trump campaign at some point, 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:23.960 so you know, well, what was really taken into his 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.639 what were his communications really like? How much of this 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:32.800 stuff was, how much of the targeting would allow or 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.959 people to get caught up in this? And what this 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:38.840 piece is saying is, and what Andy's been saying as well, 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:41.720 is that well, if you if you're if you're under 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:46.679 electronic surveillance, as it turns out they have access to 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:48.600 you know, it's kind of like if they got if 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:52.040 someone got access to your phone, your cell phone, and 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:53.960 they could hear every call you're making. Well, they also 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.560 can see the calls that you've already made, and who 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.600 you've talked to, and you know, whatever else they're looking 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:02.159 into it. So now think about this. It's not just 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.480 the dates in question, but there's also the very real 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:10.320 possibility of being able to essentially go through Carter Page's 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:14.280 digital footprints, so to speak, and look at whatever communications 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.159 he had and whoever he was talking to, and and 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:21.359 pretty sure that you're gonna see some members of the 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.520 Trump campaign popping up and all that. Right, there's been 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.400 reporting on this already. We don't know because they're still 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:30.800 keeping this stuff under wraff, but it certainly seems likely. 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:39.080 It certainly seems like there is ah a very high 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.960 possibility of that. And it brings me back to another factory. 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:44.240 You have to keep in mind as we go along. 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:45.840 I remember, this is a this is a marathon, not 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:47.720 a sprint. This whole Russia collusion thing, it's going to 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.280 keep on. You know this, because we've been talking about 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.119 this already. We're already at the point now where a 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:56.720 lot of us would like to, you know, sit down, 0:18:58.000 --> 0:18:59.760 have some of those gel packs that runners, you know, 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:01.800 when the gel with the things that the hydration thing. 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:03.600 I've never had one, but I feel like you have 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:05.200 to earn those, you know what I mean. You've got 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:06.800 to run more than like the half mile I put 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:08.800 down on the treadmill to have a little gel pack thing. 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:10.960 But we've we've done enough now where we feel like, 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:14.280 all right, we've we've been there, We've earned a gel 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:18.639 packer two. And yet I want you to keep in 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:20.720 mind that what's real, What was really at stake here 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.080 was the possibility. The reason they would do all this 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:28.000 was that they could have found campaign ending information on Trump. 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:29.639 So they thought it was worth the risk and they 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:33.960 wouldn't be caught. So that that's motive, motive, motive. You 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.399 have to remember motive in these discussions. Oh yeah, and 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:40.040 that also is why I can tell you Trump Russia collusion, 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:44.760 come on, nonsense, the worst plot ever, It doesn't even 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:48.040 make sense. We'll get into some more Russia stuff coming 0:19:48.080 --> 0:20:07.200 up in a minute. Well, I lived through the water 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:09.000 get because I was a candidate for the first time 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:14.720 as the nixt administration disintegrated. Um, things start to unravel 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.920 and then one thing pulls another thing, and then one 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.520 morning year in a space you never dreamed of, because 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.320 they'll just keep on raveling. And I think Susan Rice's 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:27.480 memo is one more example of this thing gradually unraveling. 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:30.760 She's obviously trying to rewrite history. She's trying to make 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:33.359 it look as if something happened that didn't happen. She 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.680 writes the memo after Barack Obama is out of office, 0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:41.720 after she no longer had a job. My suspicion, and 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:45.320 I think Senator Graham shares this as well, is that 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:50.119 they learned something between January five and January which caused 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.320 them to want to change the narrative about this meeting. 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:57.000 None of us knew about about the meeting. I'm with 0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:02.080 the Judge Newt. I'm with the Judge Newton Buck. It 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:06.080 sounds like it sounds like a pretty awesome bluegrass band. Actually, 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:10.960 the Judge Newton book I like it. Uh yeah, I'd 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:15.280 be like that, like the A team of political analysis. Um, 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:17.239 those dudes both have good hair too, you know what 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:19.120 I mean. So we we got a lot of good 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:22.439 hair going on. We we could do something. I should, Hey, 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:26.639 Judge Newt, we should talk anyway. They're they're correct, though 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:28.959 that the whole email thing strikes all of us as 0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:31.040 as quite weird that they said that. I guess last 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:32.639 done on Fox, I said up here on the show. 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:35.240 I mean, did I say at first? Probably? Of course, 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:37.919 But nonetheless we all agree on this one, which is 0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:40.959 an important fact of all this. But today he had 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:45.760 the various intel chiefs giving these and I'm not gonna 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:47.399 spend too much time on it because I don't think 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:51.960 you need me to give a big overview of of 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:54.320 all the biggest global threats. I mean maybe that would 0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:56.320 be like a separate podcast I do some other time. 0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:58.960 But you understand a lot of the threats that are 0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:00.760 out there, you know, we we talked about it here 0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:04.320 on the show, and you know, yeah, North Korea, you're 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:09.359 on Islamic stage, hottists, Russia, cyber crime there you go. Right, 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:12.960 That's that's pretty much the the rundown on a lot 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:17.720 of what today's It wasn't even a grilling. It was 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:22.000 mostly just being asked questions the intel chiefs of the 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:24.800 different agencies, asking being answered answers some questions, but there 0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:27.520 were some interesting things. There were some moments. First of all, 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:30.960 there's the there's a story that I did not I 0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:33.560 don't think I spoke about here on the show. I 0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:35.919 read it in the New York Times, and I was 0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:38.639 aware of it, but I just didn't have the time 0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:40.639 to to get to it here. And it had to 0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:43.439 do with this maybe I mentioned it. I can't remember 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:48.679 how to do with a an operation where the CIA reportedly, 0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:53.280 according to New York Times, tried to buy UH info 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:59.000 hacking tools. And also with that, this shady guy offered 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:01.840 damaging information and on Trump. So that that actually, I 0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:05.000 think got a lot more attention than the the hacking 0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:08.399 tools component of the story. But it's a story that 0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:10.040 was printed out there, and I was looking at this 0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:13.720 and it's just it smelled funky. There's something about it 0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:15.080 that smell a little funky to me. I just like 0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:18.320 I read the stories and hundred grand and the guy 0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:20.200 just gets to walk away, and that's just the way 0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:23.800 this was, and it seems strange to me. Well, here's 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:29.960 the CIA director today addressing the specific story. Reporting on 0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:34.160 this matter has been atrocious, it's been ridiculous, totally inaccurate. 0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:37.240 UH and in our view, The suggestion to see I 0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:39.600 was cindral swindled is false. The people who were swindled 0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:42.359 were James rice And and Matt Rosenberg, the authors of 0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:46.320 those two pieces. Indeed, it's our uh, it's our view 0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:51.760 that the same two people who were proffering phony information 0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:54.639 to the United States government proffered that same phony information 0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:59.520 to these two reporters. So I just want to be 0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:01.919 clear here. Here you got the c I A director 0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:06.800
