1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,199
Speaker 1: This massive and pervasive hacking by China of US telecom

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: companies is significant. Your colleague Mark Warner said, it's most

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: significant breach he has ever seen in his entire time

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: on the committee. Do you know if China has been

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: able to access the audio of Americans phone calls?

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not going to comment on what they access,

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 2: but I agree with Mark Warner's statement, it is an egregious, outrageous,

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: and dangerous breach of our telecommunications systems across multiple companies.

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: I'll leave it at that. I think as time goes on,

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 2: we're going to learn more about it. Some of it

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: will be made public. I think there's more that's still

12
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 2: being gathered. It's a very serious situation that we face,

13
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: and I think one that is quite threatening, maybe not

14
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: directly to the election per se, but certainly to the

15
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: national security of our country moving forward. It's a vulnerability

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 2: that no one imagined or anticipated, but here it is.

17
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 3: It's interesting that he put it in the context of

18
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 3: the election. That is the problem. We're so focused on

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 3: the election. This China Chinese hack of AT and T

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 3: and Verizon and and again, as you just heard, there

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: maybe the biggest hack that we've had in our nation's history.

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 3: It's all being run through the prism of the election.

23
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 3: Did they get anything on Trump or Harris that will

24
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: affect the election? And blah blah blah, and otherwise ignoring

25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: the fact that Brennan asked at one point, were they

26
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: actually listening to our phone calls of American citizens? And

27
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: Mark Rubia said, well, I'm not going to comment on that.

28
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 3: What what that seems like a big story.

29
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 4: Josh Rogan wrote a terrific piece in The Washington Post

30
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 4: about this. Josh is the columnist for the Global Opinion

31
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 4: section of the Post, author of a terrific book, Chaos

32
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 4: under Heaven. Trump she in the Battle for the twenty

33
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 4: first century, among other things, and Josh joins us. Now, Josh,

34
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 4: this seems like the all time champion great significance to

35
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 4: little attention story of all time, or close to it.

36
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 5: Right in any sane world, this would be the most

37
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 5: important thing on the news right now. But the timing

38
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 5: of the election is actually kind of unfortunate because it's

39
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 5: overshadowing what one of my sources said is the biggest

40
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 5: intelligence breach in US history.

41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: Wow.

42
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 5: And after that, Marco Ribo wanted to give but couldn't

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 5: because it's classified information. But I'm going to tell you anyway,

44
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 5: is that yes, they're listening to the audio real time

45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 5: phone calls and watching the text messages in real time

46
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 5: of hundreds, if not thousands, of American citizens. That they've

47
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 5: been doing it for a year, and they're embedded in

48
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 5: the telecom systems in a way that even our own

49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 5: intelligence community doesn't fully understand. They don't know how to

50
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 5: get them out, they don't know if they can get

51
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 5: them out. And this is a problem that's just so

52
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 5: big and so hard to wrap your head around that

53
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 5: the US companies doesn't want to talk about it because

54
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 5: it's embarrassing. They don't have any answers, and if people

55
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 5: really knew what was going on, they would freak out.

56
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 5: And the bottom line is that the telecoms don't want

57
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 5: to tell anybody either, because it's their systems that got hacked.

58
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 5: But I think what you heard from Warner and from

59
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 5: Rubio in that clip is that this is real, This

60
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 5: is big, and this is not going away. It's only

61
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 5: going to get worse.

62
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 3: Wow. So the Chinese have been into our biggest phone

63
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: companies for a year and they don't know how to

64
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: get them out, or if they can get them.

65
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 5: Out, it's even worse than that because they not only

66
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 5: did they get are they into the phone companies, they

67
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 5: got through in the system that the phone company is

68
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 5: built for the FBI to do wire tapping on criminals

69
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 5: and spies and people talking with criminals.

70
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: Wow.

71
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 5: FBI can only do that theoretically with a legal warrant,

72
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 5: but the Chinese intelligence services don't care about that. So

73
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 5: they have all the access maybe not only to our phones,

74
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 5: into our text but also to all of the federal

75
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 5: investigations that are underway and all the counter intelligence operations

76
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 5: that are underway, which could be completely compromised everywhere around

77
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 5: the world. And how you deal with that is a

78
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 5: whole other problem.

79
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: Boy, to say this is devastating. I need to invent

80
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 4: a new word to correctly convey the seriousness. Astounding kind

81
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 4: of clip Well, that seems like a good word, And Josh,

82
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 4: I hate to leap to the libertarian you know angle

83
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 4: of this immediately, but the idea that the government and

84
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 4: the phone companies assured us that no, these portals into

85
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 4: your private communications will only be used for the most

86
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: important of investigations and get very serious, very safe rather

87
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 4: has has always been you know, exposed as a lie. Right,

88
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: There'll be.

89
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 5: There'll be a time for the politics of all of this,

90
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 5: But I have to agree that it proves that when

91
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 5: you build back doors for the government into encrypted systems,

92
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 5: things go wrong because those back doors are vulnerabilities and

93
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 5: they get the bad guys as well as the good

94
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 5: guys can figure out how to get into them. And

95
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 5: there's another political angle too, which is the PISO warrant issue,

96
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 5: because if you're anywhere in Donald Trump's orbit, you have

97
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 5: a thing against PISO warrants because they were used to

98
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 5: spy on the Trump campaign in twenty sixteen, and that's

99
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 5: that's the same system. It's not the same issue, but

100
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 5: it's the same system. So there's a lot of crazy

101
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 5: tangents that will come out of this. But the first

102
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 5: thing is just for in my opinion, of Americans to

103
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 5: know that they're vulnerable so that they could do something

104
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 5: about it, so they can change their practices, and for

105
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 5: the telecom community and for the intelligence community to tell

106
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 5: us what's going on, because that's what they're supposed to

107
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 5: do when something like this happened.

108
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: What's your worst case scenario for what China could do

109
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 3: with some of this information that they've gathered.

110
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 5: Well, I mean again, I think the worst case scenario,

111
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 5: hopefully that we want to see is that they use

112
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 5: it to interfere in our politics in a direct way.

113
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 5: That's kind of what the Russians or the Iritians would do.

114
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 5: What it seems more likely is that they'll just save

115
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 5: it all and use it in intelligence ways for blackmail, disinformation,

116
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 5: deep fakes, you know, collecting on any American they want

117
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 5: for any time. So it's kind of like there's a

118
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 5: lot of worst case scenarios, and you know, there's no

119
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 5: way to sort of plan for all of them. But

120
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 5: it seems that the primary worst case scenario, which is

121
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 5: that our telecommunications network are compromised, that's already here. That's

122
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 5: a pretty bad case scenario already.

123
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 4: Right. I completely understand the concept of if they know

124
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 4: all of our secrets, the worst case scenario is that

125
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 4: they will use them whenever they need to for the

126
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 4: next one hundred years. But at the same time, I'm sorry,

127
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 4: I'm just so flabbergasted by the notion that they have

128
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 4: access to a great deal of our counter intelligence.

129
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 6: I mean, that is just so disastrous, right, So we

130
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 6: have you know, not just counter intelligence, criminal investigation, any

131
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 6: wire tap or surveillance that the FBI or any other

132
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 6: federal law enforcement is doing.

133
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 5: Those records are kept somewhere. Now this is a kind

134
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 5: of a part we don't know, to be clear, we

135
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 5: don't know if they have that. What we do know

136
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 5: is that they, excuse me, collect already collected audio on

137
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 5: for example, former President Trump, jd Vance, Jared Kushner, Eric Trump,

138
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 5: members of the Harris campaign, congressional staffers for Chuck Schumer,

139
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 5: leading US business leaders, leading US government officials. We don't

140
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 5: know their names. So those are the people they've already

141
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 5: spied on and already have got stuff on. And the

142
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 5: list keeps growing every day. The FBI finds out more people,

143
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 5: and eventually you have to think like, oh, maybe we

144
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 5: should tell those people, right, And the FBI has been

145
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 5: reluctant to do that because once they tell these people,

146
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 5: these people tell other people, and all of a sudden,

147
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 5: people like me start to figure out what's going on,

148
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 5: and I'm like, oh, I got to tell the country,

149
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 5: you know. But you know, eventually there's this problem where

150
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 5: people are getting spied on. They need to know it, okay,

151
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 5: And if the government doesn't want to tell us because

152
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 5: they're embarrassed about it. That's a that's its own problem.

153
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 4: You know, the more I Josh Rogan, Global Opinions, Calumnists

154
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 4: or the Washington Post is online, Jack go ahead.

155
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: And the more I think about it, it makes such sense.

156
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it is small ball for she or whoever

157
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: makes these decisions to try to affect the election. He's

158
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: thinking bigger than that. I mean, he wants to influence

159
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: policy on a major level, or understand it ahead of

160
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: time or whatever over whoever ends up in the administry,

161
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 3: maybe for years to come. So yeah, just you know,

162
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: nudging the election one where or another's probably small compared to

163
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: their thoughts.

164
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 5: Well, that's right. They'd rather preserve it for let's say, hypothetically,

165
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 5: China invades Taiwan and then we try to do something

166
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 5: about it, and then they shut down our telecomsystem. Not

167
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 5: to mention whatever else they're in, because this is just

168
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 5: a piece of a puzzle. The Chinese are also into

169
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 5: our energy systems and our manufacturing and construction systems, and

170
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 5: you know, our internet service providers. Do you can imagine

171
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 5: that's a pretty big deterrent for us getting involved to

172
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 5: try to save Taiwan. If they're like, oh, we're just

173
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 5: going to shut off your internet and your phones and

174
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 5: then we're going to see what's what you know, So, yeah,

175
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 5: they have their own interests. It's also not clear that

176
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 5: the Chinese have a clear preference between Harris and Trump.

177
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 5: The Russians want Harris, I'm sorry. The Russians want Trump,

178
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 5: The Iranians want Harris. The Chinese could play it either way.

179
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 5: So they're preparing for both scenarios. That's why they're spying

180
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 5: on both camps because they want to be ready either way.

181
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 4: Right, And it occurs to me that, you know, given

182
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 4: the openness of our democrat system and the fact that

183
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 4: the legislature weighs in on so many of the important

184
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: policies and topics vis vir relationship with China going forward

185
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 4: for the next twenty years, you know, decoupling the economies,

186
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 4: the farm, big pharma, you know, tech, military technologies, chips,

187
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 4: just all of it. All of that is going to

188
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 4: go through the legislative process. And if they can bring

189
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 4: pressure to bear on one point six million people who

190
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 4: they have dossiers on having just talked to their lover

191
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: on the cell phone or texting their bookie or whatever.

192
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 4: I mean, they are going to exert that pressure wherever

193
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: they can. Oh my god, what a what a what

194
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 4: a situation.

195
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 5: It's really bad.

196
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 3: You have got to be I mean, this was the

197
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 3: reason of your piece. Just shocked that it's not getting

198
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: more attention than it is.

199
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I think, to be honest, guys, this

200
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 5: is why people inside the system brought this story to me.

201
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 5: One of them said, because they're taking a risk by

202
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 5: you know, killing me Ali the questions information knowing that

203
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 5: I'm going to tell the world, because they thought it

204
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 5: was that important. And one of them said to me, listen, Josh,

205
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 5: this is bigger than the election, and we can't afford

206
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 5: to let this get caught up in political and you

207
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 5: know again sort of the blame game and how it's

208
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 5: going to affect privacy and how it's going to you know,

209
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 5: the debate over FAISA and the Russia Gate or whatever.

210
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 5: My source said to me, listen, that's not but that's

211
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 5: not the most important thing right now. The people need

212
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 5: to know because the response has to have a fire

213
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 5: lit under it, because the telecom companies in the FBI

214
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 5: and the intelligence community are bearing this thing now, are

215
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 5: they burying it because of the election. No, they're probably

216
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 5: bearing it because they don't know what they're do. You know,

217
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 5: they don't know what to do, you know, And it's

218
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 5: it's real. It's just such a huge problem that you know,

219
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 5: people are going to get freaked out, but better that

220
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 5: they get freaked out by the truth and not. And

221
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 5: I don't see any reason to wait election or no

222
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 5: election to tell people that they're at risk.

223
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 4: Did I just have an acid flag? Did your source

224
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 4: say to you, Josh, this is bigger than the election.

225
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 5: That's a direct quote, you know, Okay, and good.

226
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 3: Well, you're you're gonna be the Woodward and Bernstein of

227
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 3: this story. Then we will keep an eye on your

228
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: column and uh, you know, and your Twitter feed on

229
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 3: this one, because this has got legs. I'm sure.

230
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness.

231
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 5: I'll let you know when I get another piece of it,

232
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 5: because this is going to get worse before it gets better.

233
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 4: Wow.

234
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 3: Thank you.

235
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 4: We have a link to Josh's whole piece at the

236
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 4: top of hot Links, Armstrong and getty dot com. Josh

237
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 4: always enlightening in a pleasure. Thanks a million, have good day.

238
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 4: We are so Jack, Just real quick, I'm looking at

239
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 4: the top of the most red opinion pieces in the

240
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 4: UH the WAPO right now. Number one, who's going to

241
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 4: win on election Day? Here are eight columnist predictions. Number two,

242
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 4: women can send Trump packing? Number three can you guess

243
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 4: who people will vote for? Try the squiz? Number four?

244
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 4: If Trump loses Pennsylvania, he'll have no one to blame

245
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 4: but himself. Fifth, it's about abortion.

246
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: And I had at a lefty friend was always so

247
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: into who was president and Trump and then this and that,

248
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 3: and I could never get them into a conversation about

249
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: China or anything, you know, big because they always go

250
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 3: back to the election. That's way a lot of people are.

251
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: And how about how about sources going to Josh Rogan

252
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 3: because they know he's into this sort of stuff, saying, Okay,

253
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 3: we got to give you some information. Print a piece

254
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: about this. Nobody's paying attention. It's bigger than the election.

255
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 3: It's the biggest hack of our systems in US history

256
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 3: by China, our number one enemy, and it's getting no coverage.

257
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 3: And Margaret Brennan throws it in at the end after

258
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 3: arguing about Trump and what he said about Liz Cheney.

259
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 3: She throws around in at the very end after like

260
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 3: an eight minute interview as an afterthought. As an afterthought,

261
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 3: Yeah wow wow, well, Gully, how do we transition?

262
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 4: We can't. A quick word from our longtime friends at

263
00:12:54,320 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 4: Worrior Foundation Freedom Station. Absolutely wonderful organization. We've been supporting

264
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 4: four years and years, and they're looking for your help. Yep.

265
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: Celebrating their twenty year anniversary, and we have talked about

266
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: it for years. They're gonna do the same thing. We've

267
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 3: helped them raise money for four years to fly ill

268
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: and injured Marine soldiers and sailors home for the holidays.

269
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 3: But it takes some money to do that.

270
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 4: Everyone deserves to spend the holidays with their loved ones,

271
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 4: especially the men and women who have so bravely sacrificed

272
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 4: for our country. And we've seen it firsthand how Warrior

273

274
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 4: of our warriors with your support.

00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: This year they're building their third transitional housing property designed

276
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 3: to craft a sense of community, promote recovery, and cultivate

277
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,960

285
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: mean thing about whoever? And arguing about that for days

286
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: and ignoring the fact that world history is not going

287
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 3: to change. There's always a battle for who's in charge

288
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: of what, and China wants to take over and they

289
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: just had and they just you know, had a huge, huge,

290
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 3: wintured go ahead. If you talk to a thousand people today,

291
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 3: how many people would know this story?

292
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 4: And I'm picturing Shijhin Ping. They're in Beijing saying, oh

293
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 4: my god, they discovered our hack. What are the Americans saying?

294
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 4: And his advisers saying, nobody's really noticed. They're not talking

295
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 4: about it at all. Other than the Armstrong and Getty show.

296
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 4: We got a lot more on the way. Stay here,

297
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 4: Armstrong and
