1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: It was a bombshell press conference at the White House, 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: Tulsi Gabbard coming out and talking about this possible criminal 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: referral to the Department of Justice for an investigation, and 4 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,920 Speaker 1: it all revolves around Russia collusion, and now it involves 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: a former president by the name of Barack Obama. I 6 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: want you to take a listen to what Tulsi Gabbard 7 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: had to say at the White House Press briefing room. 8 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: She's the Director of National Intelligence and she is now 9 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: officially hinted that former President Barack Obama has in fact 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: been referred to the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation. Now, 11 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: she did not address the constitutional obstacles or a prosecution, 12 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: but what she did do is lay out the facts. 13 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: Here she is, in her own words at the White 14 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: House podium. 15 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: Thank you very much, good afternoon. At President Trump's direction 16 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 2: and with the support and coordination the House Intelligence Committee 17 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 2: Chairman Rick Crawford, today we've released a declassified oversight Majority 18 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: Staff report that was produced in September of twenty twenty. 19 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 2: The stunning revelations that we are releasing today should be 20 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: of concern to every American. This is not about Democrats, Republicans, 21 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 2: This has to do with the integrity of our democratic 22 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: republic and American voters having faith that the votes cast 23 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: will count. There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President 24 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 2: Obama and his national security team directed the creation of 25 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false. They 26 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered 27 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 2: in the twenty sixteen election to help President Trump win, 28 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 2: selling it to the American people as though it were true. 29 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: It wasn't. The report that we released today shows in 30 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: great detail how they carried this out. They manufactured findings 31 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: from shoddy sources, suppressed evidence, and credible intelligence that disproved 32 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 2: their false claims. They disobeyed traditional trade craft intelligence community standards, 33 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: and withheld the truth from the American people. In doing so, 34 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 2: they conspired to subvert the will of the American people 35 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: who elected Donald Trump in that election in November of 36 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. They worked with their partners in the media 37 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: to promote this lie, ultimately to undermine the legitimacy of 38 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: President Trump and launching what would be a year's long 39 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: coup against him and his administration. We're here today because 40 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: the American people deserve the truth. They deserve accountability, and 41 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 2: they deserve justice. The records that we released on Friday 42 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: that were ode and I records, Senator Chuck Grassley's release 43 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: on Monday of what is known as the Clinton Annex, 44 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: which was an appendix to the Department of Justice Office 45 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: of Inspector General's twenty eighteen report, as well as the 46 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: House Intelligence Committees Oversight Majority Oversight report that we're releasing today, 47 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 2: all come back to and confirm the same report. There 48 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: was a gross politicization and manipulation of intelligence by the 49 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: Obama administration intended to delegitimize President Trump even before he 50 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 2: was inaugurated, ultimately usurping the will of the American people. 51 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: I'm going to go over the key findings from the 52 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: House Intelligence Report, which investigated the claims that were made 53 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: by an intelligence community assessment ordered by President Obama and 54 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: published in January of twenty seventeen. First, Putin's principal interests 55 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 2: relating to the twenty sixteen election were to undermine faith 56 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: in the US democratic process, not show any preference of 57 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: a certain candidate. In fact, this report shows Putin held 58 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 2: back leaking, held back from leaking compromising material on Hillary Clinton, 59 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: prior to the election, instead planning to release it after 60 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 2: the election to weaken what Moscow viewed as an inevitable 61 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: Clinton presidency. In the January twenty seventeen Intelligence Community assessment 62 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: that President Obama ordered John Brennan, whose CIA director at 63 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: the time, and the Intelligence Community intentionally suppressed intelligence that 64 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: showed Putin was saving the most damaging material that he 65 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 2: had in his possession about Hillary Clinton until after her 66 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: potential and likely victory. The report goes into great detail 67 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 2: about the information that Russia and Putin had which on 68 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton, which included possible criminal acts like secret meetings 69 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: with multiple named US religious organizations in which State Department 70 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 2: officials offered, in exchange for supporting Secretary Clinton's campaign for 71 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: the presidency, significant increases in financing from the State Department. 72 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 2: They also had documents that showed the patronage of the 73 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 2: State Department to State Department employees who would go and 74 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: support Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. There were high level DNC 75 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 2: emails that detailed evidence of Hillary's quote psycho emotional problems, 76 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 2: uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness, and that then 77 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily regiment of heavy tranquilizers. 78 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: Then CIA Director Brennan and the Intelligence community mischaracterized intelligence 79 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: and relied on dubious, substandard sources to create a contrived, 80 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 2: false narrative that Putin developed a quote unquote clear preference 81 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 2: for Trump. Brennan and the ICE misled lawmakers by referencing 82 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: the debunked Steele dossier to assess quote unquote Russia's plans 83 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: and intentions, falsely suggesting that this dossier had intelligence value 84 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 2: when he knew that it was discredited. The intelligence community 85 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: excluded significant intelligence and ignored or selectively quoted reliable intelligence 86 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: that contradicted the Intelligence Community assessment's key findings on Putin's 87 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 2: alleged support for Trump. Including this intelligence reporting would have 88 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 2: exposed the ICA's claim as implausible, if not ridiculous. The 89 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: Intelligence Community assessment omitted reliably sourced information, such as how 90 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 2: some Russian intelligence officials were quote unquote planning for candidate 91 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton's victory, while others assessed neither Trump nor Clinton 92 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 2: would respect Russia's interests, as was reflected in the Ode 93 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 2: and I documents that we released on Friday. Multiple intelligence 94 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 2: community assessments released in the months leading up to the 95 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 2: November twenty sixteen election concluded that Russia had neither the 96 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 2: intent nor capability to impact the outcome of the US election. 97 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 2: On December fifth of twenty sixteen, the FBI and od 98 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 2: and I gave the House Intelligence Committee its first post 99 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 2: election classified briefing, in which there was no mention of 100 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: Putin aspiring to elect Trump by either agency. The Presidential 101 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: Daily Brief, drafted on December eighth of twenty sixteen, stated 102 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: that no Russian or criminal actors impacted vote counts. This 103 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 2: document was pulled just hours before it was to be 104 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: published due to quote unquote new guidance. If it had 105 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 2: been published, it would have been briefed to both President 106 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: Obama and President elect Donald Trump. On December ninth, twenty sixteen, 107 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 2: a National Security Council meeting was called to gather President 108 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 2: Obama's senior national security officials, which included CIA Director Brennan 109 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 2: then Obama, dn I, James Clapper, Susan Rice, and others. 110 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 2: Following that secret meeting, DNI, Clapper's assistant sent an email 111 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 2: to the intelligence community with the subject line potus tasking 112 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 2: on Russia election medaling, tasking ODNI leaders to create a 113 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 2: new assessment per the President's request. The House Intelligence Committee 114 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 2: Oversite report that we released today reveals that quote unlike 115 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: routine intelligence community analysis, the Intelligence Community Assessment was a 116 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: high profile product ordered by the President and President Obama. 117 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: It directed senior intelligence community agency heads and created an 118 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 2: intelligence community assessment limited to just five analysts using one 119 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: principal drafter. This is not something that occurs in the 120 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: normal path of producing an intelligence community assessment that reflects 121 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: the views across the intelligence community. The production of this 122 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 2: Intelligence community assessment was subject to unusual directives directly from 123 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: the President and senior political appointees, especially the former Director 124 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 2: of the CIA, John Brennan. The House Intelligence Committee Oversight 125 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 2: report also shows how later that same day, on December ninth, 126 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 2: Brennan ordered the publication of quote unquote substandard reporting on 127 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 2: Russian activities. 128 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: A bombshell at the White House Press briefing room today 129 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: is Tulsi Gabber, the Director of National Intelligence, laying out 130 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: evidence of the conspiracy that was against Donald Trump, that 131 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: was put out there by none other than President Barack Obama, 132 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: and the evidence that has been found related to this 133 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: directly points to President Obama. Here is more of what 134 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: she had to say at the White House Press Briefing Room. 135 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 2: Had previously been withheld from publication of prior assessments because 136 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 2: the information was judged quote to have not met long 137 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: standing publication standards. Some of the information later used in 138 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 2: the Obama ordered assessment, over the objections of veteran CIA 139 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 2: officers was quote unquote unclear or from unknown sources. The 140 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: Intelligence Committee's oversight report reveals that CIA Director Brennan overruled 141 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 2: senior CIA officers who challenged the Obama ordered intelligence assessment, 142 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 2: stating quote, we don't have direct information that Putin wanted 143 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 2: to get Trump elected. Yet the Obama directed assessment was 144 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 2: published on January sixth, twenty seventeen, which explicitly stated, quote, 145 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: we assess Putin and the Russian government aspired to help 146 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 2: President elect Trump's election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary 147 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 2: Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him, end of quote. 148 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 2: The CIA and FBI, then led by John Brennan and 149 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 2: James Comy, expressed high confidence in this judgment, while the 150 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: NSA expressed moderate confidence. Yet, as the report we released 151 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: today shows, the ICA the Intelligence Community assessment did not 152 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: cite any report, where Putin indicated helping Trump win was 153 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: an objective. The opposite is true with regards to the 154 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 2: Steele dossier. We now know that one of the source 155 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 2: documents that the Obama administration used in the creation of 156 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 2: this intelligence assessment in January of twenty seventeen was none 157 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: other than the discredited, unverified Steele dossier. The House Intel 158 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 2: report states, quote, contradicting public claims by then CIA Director 159 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 2: Brennan that the dossier was not in any way incorporated 160 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 2: into this intelligence assessment. The dossier was referenced in the 161 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: intelligence assessment's main body text and further detailed in a 162 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: two page assessment annex. John Brennan lied, and he denied 163 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 2: using this dossier in this intelligence assessment that President Obama 164 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: ordered because he knew it was discredited, it was a 165 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 2: politically motivated, manufactured document. He directed senior CIA officials to 166 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 2: use it anyway. CIA officer told the House Intelligence Committee 167 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: staff as they investigated this quote, the director of the CIA, 168 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: John Brennan, refused to remove it, and, when confronted with 169 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 2: the dossier's many flaws, responded, quote, yes, but doesn't it 170 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 2: ring true? Even the bipartisan Senate Select Committee on Intelligence 171 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 2: report published in twenty twenty, criticized the FBI's handling of 172 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 2: the Steele dossier, noting its completely unverified nature and purposeful 173 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 2: side stepping of intelligence community procedures in its use. Now 174 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 2: President Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper, James Coby, 175 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 2: and others, including their mouthpieces in the media, knowingly lied 176 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 2: as they repeated the contrived narrative that was created in 177 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 2: this January twenty seventeen intelligence community assessment with high confidence 178 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 2: as though it were fact. John Brennan, as CIA Director, 179 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 2: stated in a memo to his agency staff in December 180 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 2: of twenty sixteen, saying, quote, there is strong consensus among 181 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,719 Speaker 2: us on the scope, nature, and intent of Russian interference 182 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 2: in our presidential elected election. This was reported by NBC 183 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 2: News confirming that Brennan, along with James Clapper and James Comey, 184 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 2: agreed with the CIA's assessment that Russia intervened to help 185 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 2: Trump win the presidency. As Obama's Director of National Intelligence, 186 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 2: James Clapper was tasked with overseeing the creation of this 187 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 2: assessment in January twenty seventeen by President Obama, and he 188 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 2: expressed confidence in its findings in a twenty eighteen interview 189 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 2: with the Harvard Gazette, he talked about how he provided 190 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 2: Trump with the same classified assessment that President Obama received, 191 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 2: which included the high confidence judgment that putin directly ordered 192 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: the hacking and election interference. Clapper then went on to add, 193 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: I think they, the Russians, actually influenced the outcome. This 194 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: is a brief summary of the details that you'll find 195 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 2: within the House Majority Staff's report in their investigation into 196 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 2: the Obama directed January twenty seventeen intelligence community assessment that 197 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: leads us to the very same conclusion that we announced 198 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 2: in the release of our documents on Friday. The implications 199 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 2: of this are far reaching and have to do with 200 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 2: the integrity of our democratic republic. It has to do 201 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: with an outgoing president taking action to manufacture intelligence to 202 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 2: undermine and usurp the will of the American people in 203 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 2: that election and launch what would be a year's long 204 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: coup against the incoming president of United Donald Trump. Thank you. 205 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: This is shocking, but also not surprising based on what 206 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: we know about what the Left has done to try 207 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: to take out Donald Trump. But we are hearing the 208 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: name of Barack Obama and exactly what he was trying 209 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: to do. And if you look at the shocking main 210 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: points here, the Director of National Intelligence is accusing the 211 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: former president Barack Obama and his team of a treasonous conspiracy, 212 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: saying that they clearly manufactured intelligence assessments, accusing Russia of 213 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: aiding Donald Trump in twenty sixteen, and intentionally, as she 214 00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: described it, intentionally was the word that she used to 215 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: mislead the American people. All Right, I want to take 216 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: a moment talk about the economy.

Why because there is uncertainty all over 220 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: the world right now, and when there is uncertain times, 221 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: you want real answers about your financial stability.

She is 255 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: now using the word treasonous to describe it. Now they're 256 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: backing this up with actual documents and a referral, apparently 257 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: to the DOJ and the FBI. Gabbart said she referred 258 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: the declassified documents the Justice Department and the FBI for 259 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: possible criminal investigation into the Obama era officials. She also 260 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: used the word irrefutable evidence, asserting that the documents prove 261 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: and provide irrefutable evidence that Barack Obama ordered the fabrication 262 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: and that is something that all of us need to 263 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: get our head around. A former president of the United 264 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: States America while he's president, wanting to overthrow the will 265 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: of the people, ordering the fabrication of evidence to then 266 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: have a coup attempt against Donald Trump. Now I want 267 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: to be clear, I think there's people that we believed 268 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: were in the deep State that we're doing this. This 269 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: is the first time we're seeing this come down as 270 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: a directive at the highest level of the United States government. 271 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,479 Speaker 1: Now Obama's office is pushing back. Obama's spokesman dismissed these 272 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: allegations is quote bizarre and weak and quote a distraction 273 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: from other issues like the Jeffrey Epstein file. Not to 274 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: be clear, if that is your best talking point, if 275 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: you're the Obama team right now, you have very big issues. Now. 276 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,479 Speaker 1: There's also critics that are coming out and they're circling 277 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: the wagon. Senate Intelligence Vice Chair Mark Werner called the 278 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: move a reckless effort quote to a peace Trump risking 279 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: exposure of sensitive sources and methods. So the deep state 280 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: is fighting back right now. Now. Trump's strong support is 281 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: coming from people around him who experience everything that happened 282 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: him in his first administration and also when he was 283 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: out of office. Let's not forget the rating of mar Lago. 284 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: Let's not forget the indictments of President Donald Trump. Let's 285 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 1: not forget they went after his family and his businesses, 286 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: and they lied about multiple things to try to take 287 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: him out of the race so that he could not 288 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: be the president of the United States of America. You 289 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: look at all of this, and what Gabbert delivered was 290 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: a sweeping expose on the Obama team and their intelligence narrative. 291 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: She made it clear through the evidence that she put 292 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: out there that this was nothing but a politically motivated 293 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 1: attack orchestrated at the highest levels of our government. That 294 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: is why she used the word treasonists. And passing all 295 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: of this material to law enforcement for investigation is also 296 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: a very, very big moment. The question now is how 297 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: will Democrats respond and what will they do to fight 298 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: back Barack Obama? James Comer, James Comy, I should say, 299 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: and all of these others, the CI director, d and 300 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: I director, they all knew Russia did interfere in the 301 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen election. They knew it because they fabricated the 302 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: intelligence to justify a multi year long effort to overthrow 303 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. This was a deliberate campaign, I would argue 304 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: of treason. It was a deliberate campaign of treason aimed 305 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: at removing a legitimately elected president of the United States 306 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: of America. And what Tulsa Gabbert is now doing, is 307 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: she's exposing this treason. What's even more shocking now is 308 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: the fact that we have the names and the only 309 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: thing left to do is to hold these people accountable. 310 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: We also have other information, and I'm gonna let you 311 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: hear some of this in a moment, but I want 312 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: to also put this in your brain so you understand 313 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: this isn't just the part I just described, which is 314 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,959 Speaker 1: bigger than Watergate or any other political scandal of my 315 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: lifetime in politics. But we also now know that Hillary Clinton, 316 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: and again, listen very carefully to what I'm about to 317 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: tell you Hillary Clinton's twenty sixteen campaign officials, we are 318 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: now being told we're in direct contact, not indirect, Okay, 319 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: not like through middlemen. They were in direct contact with 320 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: the White House, with the Obama administration to dig up 321 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: dirt on Donald Trump and attempting to link him to Russia. 322 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: This scandal runs extremely deep, folks, Clinton aids. By the way, 323 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: we now know for a fact, on a campaign, we're 324 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: texting and emailing the White House. We're texting and emailing 325 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: the State Department, We're texting and emailing the National Security 326 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: Council and many other agencies. I also want to be 327 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: clear what I'm calling for. I'm calling for people to 328 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: be arrested, because if there are no arrests, then nothing changes. 329 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: And people think they can just do this whenever they 330 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: don't like the outcome an election. By the way, if 331 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: a Democrat wins an election, the election should not be 332 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: stolen by Republicans. Whoever the American people choose to be 333 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: the president United States of America, whether it's a Jimmy Carter, 334 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: a Barack Obama, a Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, if they 335 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: choose that person in a free and fair election, then 336 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: that person, okay, should be the president United States of America. 337 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: And no one, and I mean no one should be 338 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: able to overthrow the will of the people or the 339 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: will of the voters, period, full stop, period, full stop. Now, 340 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: I want to go back to what I was playing 341 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: for you, and again the clips I've been playing were 342 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: from two thousand and eight teen. You heard Jihan Ratcliffeho's 343 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: now the CIA director, saying this. You had Devin nunya 344 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: Is saying this as well. He was on Intelligence Committee 345 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: in the House at the time, and they were saying 346 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: exactly what now has become reality. We have the receipts, 347 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: the paperwork for it. Keep listening. 348 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 3: How involved with John Brennan? 349 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 4: Totally involved? Was totally John Brennan was one of the architects. 350 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 4: In my opinion. You look at Brennan, you look at Clapper, 351 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 4: you look at them. But ultimately the president knew everything. 352 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 4: The president knew everything. President Obama and Vice President Biden, 353 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 4: they knew everything. 354 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 5: And Comy and Brennan and Clapper, they all were terrible 355 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 5: and they lied to Congress. They spied on my campaign, 356 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 5: which is treason. They spied both before and after I won. 357 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 3: Join me now is the woman herself, the Director of 358 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 3: National Intelligence, Telsea Gabbard, Director, thanks very much for being 359 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 3: here this morning. 360 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 6: Good morning, Maria. 361 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 3: Thank you. What was the most damning thing that you 362 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 3: learned after looking through all of these declassified documents? 363 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 2: Maria, the implications of this are frankly thing short of historic. 364 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 2: Over one hundred documents that we released on Friday really 365 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 2: detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was 366 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 2: directed by President Obama just weeks before he was due 367 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 2: to leave office, after President Trump had already gotten elected. 368 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 6: This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is 369 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 6: an issue that is so serious it should concern every 370 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 6: single American because it has to do with the integrity 371 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 6: of our democratic republic. What we saw occur here, as 372 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 6: the documents we released detailed, was that we had a 373 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 6: sitting president of the United States and his cabinet and 374 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 6: leadership team, quite frankly, who were not happy with the 375 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 6: fact that President Trump had won the election, that the 376 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 6: American people had chosen Donald J. Trump to be the 377 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 6: next president commander in chief of the United States, and 378 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 6: so they decided that they would do everything possible to 379 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 6: try to undermine his ability to do what voters task 380 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 6: President Trump to do. So, creating this piece of manufactured 381 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 6: intelligence that claims that Russia had helped Donald Trump get 382 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 6: elected contradicted every other assessment that had been made previously 383 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 6: in the months leading up to the election that said 384 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 6: exactly the opposite, that Russia neither had neither the intent 385 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 6: nor the capability to try to quote unquote hack the 386 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 6: United States election for the presidency of the United States. 387 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 6: So the effect of what President Obama and his senior 388 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 6: national security team did was subvert the will of the 389 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 6: American people, undermining our democratic republic and enacting what would 390 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 6: be essentially a year's long coup against President Trump, who 391 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 6: was duly elected by the American people. 392 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: I want to go back for a moment to put 393 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: this in context. If you look at the confirmation hearings 394 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,959 Speaker 1: of the Trump administration, do you remember how nasty it 395 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: got withoud Told Gabbard, who's now the Director of National Intelligence. 396 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,479 Speaker 1: Do you remember how much Democrats are going after her? 397 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: And there was somebody saying, well, it's because she used 398 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:07,959 Speaker 1: to be a Democrat. 399 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 5: No, no, no. 400 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: The reason why it got so nasty with Tulsi Gabbard 401 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,479 Speaker 1: is because they knew exactly what she was going to do, 402 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: and they knew exactly what she was going to uncover, 403 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: and they knew that she would expose the biggest scandal 404 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: in my lifetime in politics. You want to know why 405 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: the left went after her so hard to try to 406 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: derail Remember, I mean, it was touch and go or 407 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: be like, No, I don't know if Tulsi Gabbard's gonna 408 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: make it right, Like that's what was said over and 409 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: over again. I don't know if Tulsi's gonna make it through. 410 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 1: And why was that a possibility? Because the left didn't 411 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: want her in that job. The left wanted to do 412 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: everything that it could to make sure that this never 413 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: ever saw the light of day. And if that meant right, like, 414 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: let's be clear, what did that mean. It meant Tulsi 415 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: can't get the job, because if Tulsi gets the job, 416 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: we're screwed. If Tulsi gets in here and she does 417 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: and digs the way that believe we believe that she 418 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 1: will dig, If she goes in and she digs the 419 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: way that we think she will, then we're in deep, deep, deep, 420 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: deep deep trouble. Fast forward to where we are right now. 421 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: This is it, folks, we're here. I hope you'll take 422 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: all the audio that I just played for you.
