We'll talk about that. Plus also 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.679 Cuomo says he wants to throw his hat in the ring. 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.399 Maybe maybe you know that Donald was ready for him. 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:32.800 And also why is it that socialists don't math good? 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.479 We'll get into that more coming up. This is the 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.679 Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:45.880 decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.560 American ring, You're a great American Again. The Buck Sexton 0:01:49.640 --> 0:02:00.040 Show begins analysts. As the head of the Executive and 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:04.880 and Commander in Chief, I have a unique constitutional responsibility 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:09.799 to protect the nation's classified information, including by controlling access 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.800 to it today and fulfilling that responsibility, I've decided to 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.200 revoke the security clearance of John Brennan, former director of 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:22.000 the Central Intelligence Agency. Historically, former heads of intelligence and 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.560 law enforcement agencies have been allowed to retain access to 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.639 classified information after their government service so that they can 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.440 consult with their successors regarding matters about which they may 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:37.520 have special insights, and as a professional courtesy. Neither of 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:42.400 these justifications supports Mr Brennan's continued access to classified information. 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.280 Welcome to the Buck Saxton Show. You know he did it. 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:48.760 Trump did it. He said he was gonna do it. 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.800 He said in fact that this was gonna happen. And uh, 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.680 and now there's some other folks that he may just 0:02:55.840 --> 0:03:00.560 decide to uh pull some clearances from. You know, I've 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.760 got I've got so much on this. And here here's 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.240 a nice advantage. By the way, I'm coming to you 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.640 live from New York City today instead of from the 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.400 swamp in DC. Nice to be up here in the 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:12.720 Big Apple, my hometown. I would just want to get 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.359 this out there. I'm one of the rare hosts on 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.880 radio who has had a clearance, had a security clearance, 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:20.679 had a t S clearance in fact top secret, and 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.480 knows a bit about this. So I can speak with 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.560 some degree of background, which is which is good, which 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:30.240 is fun. But also I know something that until you've 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.600 been working around these people you can't know, and that 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:35.960 is that they all think they're much more you know, 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.560 these heads of these different agencies. You know, once they're 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.600 out of government, they all think they're much more indispensable 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.960 than they are. That there's something there's some mystique around them, right, 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:50.680 and and that I think was in part from especially 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.720 on the intelligence side. You know, the whole situation of 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.760 you know that Jason Bourne, James Bond World, James Bond 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.240 is still a cooler superspy. All the best superspive all 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.160 time is still British. Unfortunately, people would say Ethan Ethan 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.400 Hunter or not Ethan Hunt. That's the actor Ethan what's 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.080 his name from Mission Impossible? You know? Is it? Is 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.320 it Ethan Hunt? Yeah? I was the Ethan Hawk, Ethan Hunt. 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.840 You know, it's all the same. Hawk is the actor. Uh, 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:16.840 James Bond is still the best spy of all time. 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.520 But when you get to know some of these spy 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.880 agency heads, these director you realize that they're not that impressive. 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.960 Some of them are, some of them really aren't, and 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.440 that it's a very bureaucratic job, and that a lot 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.080 of people who have had the job kind of stunk 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.120 at it, and we don't have some great need of 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:37.919 them to just be able to show up and and 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.080 do whatever they want. And and here's the big divine 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.640 because I'm getting heat from this already. I already have said, 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:44.760 you know, and I went on Tucker Show a few 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.520 weeks ago. I was like, this is there's no reason 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.919 these guys to have these clearances and people the old bugged. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.560 There have to one there's a government program. But only 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.799 if there's a government program that only the former director 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.480 knows about. We got a big problem, folks. You got 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.960 congressional oversight that has to know about these things. You've 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.760 got the different there's a whole big tree, a bureaucratic 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:04.800 tree below the whether it's the head of the d 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:06.760 J or the CIA or the d i A or 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:12.800 any of these different acronym agencies, it's a whole bunch 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.640 of people that have much greater institutional knowledge on this 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.680 stuff than than the director generally will a lot of 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.080 directors come and go. There are people that, you know, 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.440 you want to talk about the the Defense Department of 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.920 the c I A look at Leon Panetta, perfect example, right, 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.360 former director. Yeah, he was in the agency for a 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:30.960 few years. I forget how many off the top of 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.240 my head. I was actually at the agency when when 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.120 Panetta was there. But there are people that are there 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:40.240 for decades, people that are way longer. And so this 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.080 whole thing of oh my gosh, you know without him, 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.800 we want it's just this is just nonsense. And there's 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.159 by the way, there's a lot of and now you know, 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:49.719 people don't want to hear this stuff. But there's a 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.200 lot of kind of influence selling, and you know, I'm 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.320 gonna be a consultant, but I still have a little 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.640 bit of access. No, no, no, no, you're out. You're out. 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.839 You're no longer in government service. We're doing work for 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.919 the government, because there's some people. If you work for 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:04.640 you know, Lockheed or something, you've got to have a 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.120 clearance if working on sensitive government projects. But if you're 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.520 not involved in government stuff, you shouldn't have an active clearance. 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.400 So then that's let's establish that general principle right now, 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.320 because you're gonna see a lot of amar gosh, it's 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:21.359 the dark Knight of fascism. Now, no false, do not 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.880 believe these people. They don't know anything or they're just 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.000 blinded by their hatred of Trump. I'm not even gonna 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:34.240 say partisanship, blinded by partisans I'm a partisan, openly, proudly, honestly, 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.400 i am a partisan. I tell you this. You know 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.520 where I come from. And this is the way information 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.120 gathering and analyzing and sharing should be done going forward. 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.240 People should be honest about who they are, what they believe, 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.080 not pretend I'm just no troll. Later on, we'll have 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.679 a neutral story. Brian Williams. We've done some Google searchers 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.280 for Trump's dogs, not a lot of dog photos. Folks 0:06:56.320 --> 0:07:01.440 don't know what to say about that, sou But I'm 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.400 here to tell you that anybody who's claiming that this 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:08.520 is some terrible calamity and that this is oh here 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.880 we go, we got we got Senator Bloomenthal on CNN 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.080 saying we're voking Brennan's clearance is illegal. Now, Bloomenthal is 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.960 an idiot, and I don't say that lightly, but he 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:18.920 says stupid stuff all the time on TV. I mean, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:22.200 he just just says stuff that's just it's just not true. 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.960 He's kind of up there, it's sort of nerdy, and 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.440 you know that it's just there's nothing from this guy 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.280 that you should believe on this issue at all. By 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.320 the way, he's sitting across the table right now on 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.760 Wolf Blitzer Show from Jim Shuto, who is a quote 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.920 journalist who used to work for the Obama administration. So 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.320 I think that's always an interesting thing. Right, you can 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:44.600 do that and you're just considered a journalist, But I 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.680 think of a conservative, do you think that anybody who's 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.120 worked for Trump is going to be able to just 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.880 go out in the media and be a quote objective journalist. 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.640 And you see the the hypocrisy one, it's just the 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.560 hypocrisy slapping us all in the face of the time. 0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:00.760 But now with Trump we get to paunch back buck slab. 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:07.040 Isn't that fun? So that's on the basics of the 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.120 whole clearance process for former Look, I don't still maintain 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.640 my clearance, and that's a darn good thing, because it 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.760 would be inappropriate for me to be access and classified, 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.520 even if I'm trying to be very clear about access 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.920 and classified on a regular basis or on a fresh 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.200 new basis, and then going on there and being like, 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:25.640 well this is what I think is gonna happen, you 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.720 know tomorrow in this place. Right, that's not cool. You 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:31.360 can't do that. Why should it be different for the 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.680 former directors that you heard that as a courtesy? Heck? 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:38.200 Is that? Well what do you mean as a courtesy? 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:43.640 Why should they be able to go on air and 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.200 trash the president and maintain their access to classified information 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:51.000 in this way? You know? What is what is that 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.240 all about? And this is where you get another level 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.120 of distinction. You know, it used to be that the 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.480 Intel agency heads were thought of as being kind of 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:04.360 above of the partisan fray. They were thought of as 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.760 people who were just they were professionals doing a job. 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.559 And in that, you know, with that reality, I could 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:17.040 see I could understand some of the procedurals and some 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.679 of the things that they've been doing in the past 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:23.040 with maintaining access and and keeping clearances active for people. 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.120 I get I get it, and I can kind of 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:32.120 understand that. But you see what the cabal of Clapper, Brennan, 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:36.640 Comi or struck Yates. I'm doing this off top of 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.000 my head. I'm I'm missing a bunch of you know, 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.120 a couple of high level left BI guys that resigned. 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:41.800 Some d O J lawyers are out of there. You know, 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:45.160 when you look at that whole never mind the straight 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.719 up political appointee folks that were brought in by the 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.920 Obama administration like Susan Rice and Samantha Powers, but when 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.960 you look at the national security officials, specifically national security 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:59.199 officials that have shown themselves to be part of hashtag resistance, 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:05.320 they are working to actively undermine the current commander in chief, 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:10.840 and they're using both there recently vacated offices and their 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:16.359 continued access to give them additional ammunition against the administration. 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.040 That's what they're doing. That's why when Brennan goes on 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.600 TV and says, oh, you know I have you know, 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.440 I have reasonablieve that you know they have something on Trump, folks. 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.880 When the when the most recently departed CIA director is 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.960 going on TV and saying the current president might be 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:37.720 an asset of the Russian government, that's crazy. That's you 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.400 want to talk about undermining institutions for what it undermines 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:45.320 the presidency, it also undermines the CIA, my former home agency, 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.600 because how can you trust that the person running this 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.040 is not going to use their access and the credibility 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.880 that comes along with that to be partisans later on. 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.440 I mean, you're you're seeing this now with a whole 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.600 bunch of differ and people with very senior level access. 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.120 And this is what's so important to remember, because they're 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:07.160 gonna make all this noise about Brennan's clearance, which also 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:11.440 is in no way some national security emergency, some big 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:17.440 First Amendment issue. It is unprecedented to have as many 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:23.120 senior national security officials for the previous administration immediately turned 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:27.400 into the not just the harshest critics of the current administration, 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:32.040 but to be involved in ongoing criminal investigation of that 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:36.040 administration that they pushed for. And now they're on TV. 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:41.199 Brennan created the Russia collusion narrative, then left the CIA 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.040 before he could be thrown out of the CIA, which 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:44.440 I think would have happened if he had stayed and 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.600 we figured out some stuff, but left, and then goes 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:51.760 on TV and says outrageous, Okay, Hayden, I worked for Hayden. 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:53.680 I don't know what's happened to that guy. Mike Hayden 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.600 has lost his mind. But they go out now on 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.640 TV and they use the additional credibility they have for 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.080 former CIA director, of former n s A director, or 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:06.600 former you know whatever to hammer the president. And yes, 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.000 they have a constitutionally protected right to say those things 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.440 about the president. I'm not challenging them on that, But 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.600 they do not have a constitutionally protected right to maintain 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.959 a security clearance while they do it. And they also 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.640 do not have a right to be free from criticism 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.640 from the very president that they are not just trying 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:27.440 to undermine with their arguments, but that they are working 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.200 to see drummed out of office and maybe even put 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:34.800 in prison. The damage that they have done it and 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:36.679 and this is so important for you all to hear 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.240 because you're not hearing it from anyone else. The damage 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:43.600 that is being done to our national security institutions, the FBI, 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.120 the Department of Justice, the law enforcement arm of the 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.640 federal government, and to the intelligence community, which is vast. 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.400 It's way too big, by the way, and as you've 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.360 seen with the fies A warrants and Carter Page tremendous power. 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:58.040 But the damage that's being done to those institutions will 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:02.920 last long after Trump leaves office in six years. It's 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:07.200 going to continue on because this is unprecedented. All these 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.640 people right now who are saying what Brennan and Clapper 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.760 and Hayden and others are doing is okay, would have 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:18.439 lost their minds if the Bush administrations national security officials 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.760 had all gathered together created a narrative not just of 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.679 Obama's unfitness for office, but that they were trying to 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.920 subvert Obama. And we know, folks, there have been leaks, 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:33.760 including illegal leaks, from senior folks in the national security 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:37.439 bureaucracy to the major newspapers and then the anti Trump 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.960 news outlets like CNN, and it's this is stuff that 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.160 came from high level. Somebody spilled Flynn's phone call to 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:49.000 the press. Somebody was using their access to submarine to 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:53.319 deep six this White House and every way that they could. Okay, 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.880 so Trump is trying to clear this out, and he's 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.680 when when you have a mole, when you have somebody 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:03.439 who was using their access for the bad guys, sometimes 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.240 you gotta pull. You gotta pull access for a whole 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.600 bunch of people. So I think this is this is 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.920 it's both completely sensible and also not really that big 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.560 a deal. They're going to tell you that this is 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.320 a a huge problem, and this is Oh, they're claiming 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:25.040 that Trump is politicizing you know, intelligence and intelligence access. Meanwhile, 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:28.680 they're holding up people that sworn oath to uphold and 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:33.200 defend the Constitution, and we're appointees of a previous administration 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.600 and they are working to subvert the current president of 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:43.360 the United States without evidence and without even a shred 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:50.480 of professionalism. They have they have become ranked partisans, and 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.480 it's an embarrassment. I speak to people still in the 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.600 community not you know, I'm not you know. So when 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.720 most journalists do folks as they talked to a couple 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.000 of all the very top at whether it's you know, 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:03.840 the c I A or if it's you know, the 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:05.240 d O J. They have a couple of people the 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.000 very top that they know can talk and probably won't 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.040 get in trouble, and they think that that's though, that 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:10.640 gives them a sense of the rank and file. I 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.840 talk to people still in the community. They are embarrassed 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:16.240 by what is going on. The rank and file that 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:20.680 I speak to are embarrassed by what the former CI director, 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:24.320 the former FBI director, uh, they've been doing with this administration. 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.360 And it's not about politics for them. It's about the 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:31.320 professionalism of those institutions being just just thrown into a bonfire. Here. 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.720 It's crazy what is going on. So I know there's 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:38.320 all this, you know, there's all these claims where this 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.160 is an abuse of power. Guess what, it's within the 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.280 president's power. He can do it, he has done it, 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:45.680 and maybe it's time we just start telling the Democrats, 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:50.720 you know what, deal with it. Eight four four eight 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:54.840 to five eight four buck. We have oh so much 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.760 more to get to some stuff from the elections, the 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.720 primary election stuff that's come in. Well, maybe a bit 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:02.440 more of an update on Turkey, which you know we've 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.120 been following closely here in the Freedom Hunt eight four 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:13.440 four buck. We will be right back. Did you know 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:19.480 who commissioned the Steel dossier? I don't. Did the CEE? 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:25.160 I rely on it? No? Why not? Because we we didn't. 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:29.359 It wasn't part of the corpus of intelligence. Uh information 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.480 that we had. It was not in any way used 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.880 as a basis for the Intel's Community assessment that was done. 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.200 You see, that intelligence community assessment was about Russian meddling. 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:46.480 Who who created a connection between the Facebook accounts and 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:50.200 what was a pathetically small scale attempt by the financial 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:55.160 numbers involved, by the different but by by any objective 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.720 metric of how media works, how social media works in 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.640 the current environment. But who created this of them that 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:05.120 it was somehow tied to Trump. Somebody must have been 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.160 pushing that story and pushing it at a very senior 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:10.520 level of government. Now you can believe that the FBI 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:12.439 just came up with this on their own, that somehow 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.600 Papadopolis got on the radar of the FBI, As they said, 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.480 which I don't believe by the way that carter Page, 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.080 they decided to turn on carter Page. Carter Page had 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:25.640 worked with the FBI, had had sat down with the FBI, 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:29.400 has by the way, never been even never been accused 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.480 of a crime, even whispered what the crime was that 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:35.040 Carter Page could have committed, never been, never mind being indicted. 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.080 He has and I've spoken to about this. He said 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.480 that he is a patriot. He says that he disagrees 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:43.840 with some U. S. Foreign policy in terms of what's 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:47.399 going on with Russia. But I mean, look, you know, 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:49.560 I the Obama administration, look what they did with Iran. 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:51.960 I don't think their traitors. I just think they weren't 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:56.639 very smart, right, I Mean, there's a difference. But I'm 0:17:56.680 --> 0:18:00.440 not running around claiming that the Mullah's had in giving 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.040 bags of cash to Ben Rhodes or something like that. 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.880 But that's basically what they say about about people around 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:09.600 in Trump's orbit. It's not even just those nationals, curty ficials. 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.760 Got pre Berrara, the former U. S. Attorney for for 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:14.879 the Southern District here in New York, and all these 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:18.960 government officials that have come out and they're not opposing 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:22.159 Trump policies. They're trying to take down the man himself. 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:27.399 This is unheard of, and you know, Brennan and some 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:30.080 of these other figures, they are desperate to make sure 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.760 that they can muddy the waters and stop the Republican 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:37.560 majority House of Representatives from from these investigations into just 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:39.720 how how did all this get going? How do we 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:43.040 get so far down this pathwy? This is crazy? This 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.520 a little collusion thing going on for two years here. 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:49.119 It's just all a big bunch of nothing. Think of 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.640 all the time on all the investigation and the air 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:56.960 waves with all the different news channels. It's the biggest 0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:00.440 waste of time in my lifetime. Uh In, I'd rather 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:02.400 than start telling me that they're going to just cover 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:06.040 then the missing plane NonStop again. At least there's the 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.520 there's a possibility you'll find out something interesting there. With this, 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:13.000 There's no possibility. This It is all a Russia collusion delusion, 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:16.040 and I am I've run out of patients with it. 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:17.720 I wish we could just stop this whole thing. I 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:21.160 like that Juliani is telling uh Mueller that he better 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:22.960 finish this thing up or else, you know, he's gonna 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:25.240 get turned up even more because Mueller's engaged in a 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:29.480 political exercise, whether he will admit that or not. And 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.679 and Brennan and these other political actors, they need it. 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:34.320 There needs to be a reckoning here with what they're 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.000 really doing and what their motivations not just are now, 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:41.840 but we're back when they were in government's dirty folks. 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.720 There is a cabal. There is a deep state, all right, 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:47.880 and they were spying on Trump. So let's figure out 0:19:48.160 --> 0:20:02.520 just how much he's holding the line for America. Buck 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:08.119 Sexton is back. I was called by a friend of 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:12.880 the Associate Um when Sarahoop Sanders was giving that statement, 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:16.040 so I had no knowledge of it beforehand. No one 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:19.119 contacted me, nobody reached out to me over the past 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.560 several weeks when this issue was first had first surfaced. 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:25.000 So the first I heard about it was when I 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.959 was able to turn on the television and listen to 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:32.600 miss Sanders um and I have not heard heard anything 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:39.160 from any govern official since then. You know, like I said, 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:41.200 although the president is allowed to do this, I don't 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:43.080 know anybody who's been able to make an argument yet 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:45.600 that the president controls access to classified information that this 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:48.400 is within the executive branch folks. I think that part 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:50.080 of this is that they just don't really believe that 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:51.960 Trump is the president. I mean, that was Brennan there, 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:54.040 the formercy I director, saying that he found out about 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:57.359 this from the White House press briefing today. Trump had 0:20:57.359 --> 0:20:58.440 said he was gonna do this for a while. I 0:20:58.520 --> 0:20:59.879 will say I was wrong. The one thing I did 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.560 big Trump is going to do it. So I'll be 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:04.080 totally honest with you about that. I didn't think it 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:06.440 was really going to happen. But I also said along 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.760 it wasn't really that, it wasn't really that big of 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:12.160 a deal. And here's the guy who's running around now, 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:15.320 who's the former CI director who's running around on TV 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:16.920 the kind of stuff that he says about the current 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:22.200 commander in chief. I think Donald Trump has badly sullied 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:27.520 the reputation of the office of the presidency with his invective, 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:32.560 with his constant um disregard I think for human decency, 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.919 as well as his befriending of autocratic leaders around the 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:41.439 world and his continued pursuit of relationships to benefit himself 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:44.480 as opposed to country. I do think that America standing 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:47.720 in the world has also been tarnished. But I think 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:50.119 even more fundamentally, what he is doing here in the 0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:55.240 United States is very polarizing, and he is I think 0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:59.800 the most divisive president we've ever had in the Oval office. 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:04.560 Why do you think they put Brennan on TV so much? Folks, 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:06.600 Let's really be honest about this from him. Why do 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:09.080 you think John Brennan's on TV? He doesn't say anything 0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:12.040 particularly interesting and eloquent. He goes way overboard with a 0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:15.159 lot of his analysis. So why does he get so 0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:19.680 much airtime? Could it be because two people who are 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:23.840 Trump anti Trump deranged that to have a former CIA 0:22:24.000 --> 0:22:26.199 director and the most recent There is a difference here. 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:28.200 By the way, if even the CI director ten years ago, 0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:29.560 I'd be like, all right, you know, the guy moved 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:32.600 on with this love. He just left the agency. He's 0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:35.040
