All right, glad you with us Sean Hannity Show. 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.080 Right down our toll free telephone number. You want to 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.760 be a part of the program. We're going to try 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.720 and do something that I think is going to be 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:20.199 informative today, and that is explained what the deep state, 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:25.520 what the intelligence issues are all about. We'll talk about surveillance. 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:29.919 Excuse me, We'll talk about unmasking, We'll talk about intelligence leaks, 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.600 we'll talk about minimization. I'm gonna try and explain this 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.959 because it gets very complicated. And I keep telling you 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.200 about five forces that are trying to destroy President Trump, 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.480 and the number one in the biggest danger he faces 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.759 is from the deep state. Then, of course you've got Democrats, 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.080 Then you've got a corrupt media. Then you've got weak, pathetic, visionless, 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:54.360 identity less Republicans and never Trumpers who just want him 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:59.360 to fail. Um, I'll give you a quick example. Now 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:05.480 we've got full transcripts of the President's calls with Mexico. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:11.359 In Australia, the Australian Prime Minister, the Mexican President. You 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:15.320 got the full transcript up there now on top of 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:19.920 the media spin, which is most interesting to me. The 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.560 one thing is I've read through them all. It's amazing 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.200 how the media takes out of con the presidents like, 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:26.400 I don't even want to do a deal with you, 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.000 and next so I'm just gonna put a tariffy on 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:29.440 you and you're done. But I guess, all right, you 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.840 want to negotiate. Jared wants to give a shot. All right, 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.680 I'll give a shot. But I'm really happy just putting 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.880 up the putting up the teriff against you, because you 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.320 guys have played unfair. It's bad for the American people, 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.920 it's hurting jobs, and we're gonna build the wall. And 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.280 the media takes one little point again when the President says, well, 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:45.880 the wall is the least important part of it in 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.959 terms of dollars, and that's all the President was saying. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.480 That's all they took out of it. But if you 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:57.160 actually take the time to read the transcript and are lazy, pathetic, 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:01.880 ideological news media today, you know are trying to create 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.040 a headline that doesn't exist. If you take the time 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:09.919 to do your job, Now I have the transcripts, both 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.760 of them, printed out in front of me, and it's 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.760 about a hundred pages. So I took the time to 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:20.120 actually read the transcripts a little less than a hundred 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.560 and reading the transcripts you get a very different You 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.679 want to see how the media bias exists. Print out 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:30.680 the transcripts, read it for yourself, and then make a 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.279 decision on your own if the media is reporting accurately 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.520 to you what it is that happened in these phone calls. Now, 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:39.760 that's not the point I'm really trying to make here. 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:45.240 Why these transcripts out? This ever happen to Obama? This 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.440 ever happened to George W. Bush? Okay, do you think 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.880 of other presidents presidents that have had to deal with 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:57.640 the selective deep state leaking of intelligence that should never 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.840 be leaked to anybody? Have we not seen enough of this? 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.320 I know many many people. We go on with our 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:08.040 busy lives and we're worried about other things. But General 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:13.560 Flynn's life was destroyed because of deep state leaking in 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.680 a violation of the law and felonies that were committed. 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.400 And then you add to that a hundred twenty five leaks, 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.120 and there's many, many more that was only in a 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.720 d six day period, and we see on a daily 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.440 basis that this intelligence community, and I want to be 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.280 very clear how I'm talking about, that it is now 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.920 an effort to prevent the president, to undo an election, 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.960 to delegitimize him, to prevent him from from fulfilling the 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.760 promises that he made to all of us, the American people, 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.120 of his agenda and getting his agenda accomplished. And then 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.160 the media will come in after the leaks come out. 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.159 They don't care that it's leaked material. I mean, everyone 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.520 cares if Julian Assange does it. Everyone cares if somebody 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.800 on the outside does it, But they don't care that 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.800 it's even happening from within our own government. And that's 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.479 why I say the deep state is the biggest threat 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.520 that is now facing this country. I want to be 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:10.280 very clear here within the intelligence community, and I know 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.120 many of them, as a matter of fact, some have 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:18.960 been unfairly viciously run out of their jobs because of 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.240 an internal battle that is going on, which we're gonna 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.920 get to in great detail here in a minute. Within 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:28.120 the intelligence community, people that have been working to expose 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:32.719 the deep state, get rid of the Obama holdovers, those 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.280 people within the government that don't like the president and 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:41.360 don't support his agenda, those that are responsible for the leaks. 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.480 So when I talk about the deep state, who am 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.760 I talking about here hand? Any deep state? And this 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.240 is a fairly new term, Hannity, you use it a lot. 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:50.920 I'm not fully sure what it means. Well, that's why 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.200 we're doing the next hour with Sarah Carter and Caroline 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.640 Glick to help you understand it more deeply. But when 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:01.680 you're leaking transcripts of own calls with the President of 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.160 the United States of America and the President of Mexico 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.080 and the Prime Minister of Australia, those are conversations that 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:13.200 are supposed to be private. Those are conversations that are 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:17.760 supposed to be encrypted end to end. But with the 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:22.760 weaponry of intelligence, it's possible to tap into anything. Bill Benny, 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.520 longtime n s A whistle Blow. He's at the n 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.240 s S S A what thirty two years, have been a 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.440 frequent guest on this program. Is explained to you over 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:33.400 and over again. Every text, every email, every phone call 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:38.239 you make is being metadata stored by the government. And 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.640 he has never backed off that claim, and I personally 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.279 believe him. And I'll get to that in a second. Now, 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.400 when we talk about the intelligence community, to be very clear, 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:53.080 who am I talking about. I want you to know 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:58.520 because I know some of them, I've met some of them. 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.920 There are ninety nine point nine percent people just like 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:08.159 I would argue cops that that that sacrifice to serve 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.160 and protect their community. To get one bad cop and 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.440 then all cops get smeared and slandered. You get one 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.920 pad TV or radio host, let's slander them all, you know, 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.240 And that's I'm kidding. But you get one bad military 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.800 guy and you want to just throw the baby out 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.160 with the bathwater and sweep with a broad brush and 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.600 smear and slander everybody because one person did something wrong. Now, 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:36.280 the people I know, the people I've met, the people 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:41.920 that serve you in the intelligence community, they the vast 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:47.120 overwhelming majority, are great Americans that sacrifice and work hard. 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.560 And many of them, so you know, are putting their 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:54.720 lives in jeopardy for you and me, and I thank 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.760 them for their service. They are serving their country. Many 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.120 of them are ex military people for example. Many of 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:07.240 them are just geniuses beyond any any knowledge that I 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.240 would ever be able to accumulate in my life because 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.360 my brain just works differently, and they just think on 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.880 this whole other level. I mean, if you think you 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.920 can develop a hacking system and hack in the Russia, 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:20.920 are hack into this place, hacking to that place and 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.200 get it done and get the intelligence that keeps Americans safe. 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.600 Thank God, we have smart people in the world. So 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.040 I know many of them. I know the risks they take. 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.480 I know that their lives are in jeopardy. That is 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.880 our number one priority to protect them. That is my 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.320 my biggest fear when it comes to the fact that 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.600 we've never learned the lesson of cybersecurity in this country. 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.080 I have said there's many times before Julian Ossang did 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.080 us a favor, we're too stupid to listen when he 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:52.120 hacked into the d D and NASA at sixteen. The 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:58.080 guy's forty five. Now you would think that if people, 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.720 once you learn that they can do this stuff, that 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.360 we would set up defensive. We don't have cybersecurity, as 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:08.080 we've had expert after expert after expert on this program 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:13.960 tell you. So we see these leaks going on, and 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.080 we see the leaks against the president. Then we see 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.800 on maskings increased during the last election cycle, and then 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:25.280 we'll start naming names, and you see this president is 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.760 subject to more leaks, seven times more leaks than the 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:32.560 previous two administrations. And you begin to realize that this 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.520 is a clear and present danger, that what they are 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:39.800 doing to this country is you've got the one tenth 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.840 of one percent is doing a lot of damage, and 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:46.319 they're trying to damage the president. Now we give our 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:50.480 intelligence community in the world of evil. We have an 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.320 evil world we live in, whether you know it or not, 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:53.800 or want to face it or not. I wrote a 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.560 book Deliver Us from Evil. There is evil in the world. 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:02.680 Al Qaeda, Bolkahaam, Radical Islama terrorists, they're evil. What's happening 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.319 in North Korea is evil. Trust me. The Iranian mulas 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.680 that threaten a white Israel off the map and destroy 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:12.480 America and burn American flags and Israeli flags that are 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.360 in pursuit of nuclear weapons, that those mulas are evil. 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.640 You know, you gotta worry about China, you gotta worry 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.280 about Russia and their nukes. A lot of evil people 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.360 in this world. One of the ways we keep all 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:28.360 of us safe is through intelligence gathering, so we know 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.480 what our enemies are thinking. Most of us go about 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.680 our daily lives. We have no idea what's happening. No 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.280 no crime, no foul. We're just glad that people are 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.800 there to protect us, like the military's there to protect us, 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.719 like cops are there to protect us. We don't think 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:46.040 about it every day until something happens. Well, now something 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:52.080 is happening. So we give them the most sophisticated weaponry. 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.880 And it is a form of warfare. There is cyber warfare. 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:59.320 It is real. So we give these guys the tools 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.640 to prevent us against those that in North Korea that 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:06.600 would want to launch nukes against US, or or South 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.520 Korea or Japan, and I have a madman in charge 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.360 of nukes. There's no good answer there, as I said yesterday. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.559 Or we want to prevent and find out what's going 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.040 on in the ground in Iran and China and Russia 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:19.800 and maybe some of these other countries that want to 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:23.680 do harm to the world. So we have developed an 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:31.120 arsenal of the most sophisticated intelligence gathering methods that you 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.360 would ever dream of. The things I've learned in the 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:37.840 last two years. I it's been an education and the 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.920 majority of them use those weapons for the right purpose, 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.160 just like we have people in charge of nuclear weapons. 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.360 Now they have maybe not the access to launch, but 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.040 you know what I mean, you've got to trust people. 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:54.360 Now we're discovering that people are, in fact, people are 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:58.040 in this country are misusing it. And they've been leaking 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:03.680 like sieves against the president again and again and again 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.440 and again and again. And what do we learned. There's 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:10.599 an article, for example, out today, how is it possible 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:14.160 that the U n Ambassador Samantha Power, headline in the 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:20.599 Washington Free Beacon unveiled hundreds unmass sorry, hundreds in the 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:24.160 final years of the Obama administration, hundreds of a masking 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:29.480 request by the UN ambassador to identify individuals named and 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:34.560 classified intelligence community reports related to Trump and its presidential 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:38.840 transition team. Well, that sounds like the abuse of the 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.640 tools and the weaponry of intelligence. Do you understand what's 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.240 in play here? Because we learned that about Ben Rhodes 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.600 and we're investigating him, and we learned it about Susan 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:52.559 Rice and we're investigating her. And we see that comey 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.560 leaked intelligence. So we can get a special counsel and 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.960 we know James Baker, the General Council of the FBI, 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:03.600 is now being a estigated for releasing intelligence. In other words, 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.120 this is the single most dangerous thing when you have 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:14.520 the deeper state, some individuals abusing, misusing the tools the 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.319 weaponry we give them to keep us safe for political 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:22.360 purposes and against the American people. That's the deep state 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.960 danger the president's facing. That's why we have transcripts of 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.200 a prime minister in a president conversation that we never 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:33.439 should have. That's why all this crap about Russia has 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:38.720 been a no go nonsense from the beginning. That's why 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:40.600 we've got to get to the bottom of it. And 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.600 we've got to enforce the laws because the Espionage Act 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:47.920 is being violated every single solitary time. And you've got 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:52.080 to understand one thing. If we don't solve this problem, 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:57.959 our Constitution is shredded. Our Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:02.240 search and seizure are shattered because what they're doing with 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:06.520 unmasking is they're surveilling. Maybe in some cases they incidentally 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.880 pick up Americans, but they're supposed to minimize those conversations. 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.840 They're never supposed to unmask them. And then they're supposed 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:19.560 to certainly never release the information one Shawn, I'll explain 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.400 this as we continue today. We're gonna do a special 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.680 hour in the next hour on this so you understand it. 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:27.360 How did we get to a point where there's so 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:31.840 much leaking, so much unmasking. How are the tools of 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.320 intelligence now for the first time that I can think 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:39.520 of in my lifetime, being turned against one person, one 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:45.040 administration to overturn the will of the people, unmasking innocent 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:49.520 people when you surveil, well, let's say there's inner incidental 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.520 pickup of surveillance. Let's say there is a target or 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.240 the the n s A or one of these agencies 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.080 is doing their job, which we need them to do, 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:02.320 and they're they're buying on an enemy country that we've 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.120 got to protect ourselves from. Okay, And Americans on the 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:09.680 call caused nothing to do with anything nefarious. And when 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:15.280 they recognize as an American system citizen, the law requires 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.560 that they minimize because they don't have a warrant against 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.520 that American. You don't have a right, the government doesn't 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.200 have a right to spy on Americans, although Bill Benny 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.160 says they do it all the time, but anyway, they're 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.800 supposed to minimize the conversation, and when they write up 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.680 the report, they'll just say an American let's say the 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.880 ambassador of Iran or the ambassador of China or whatever. 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:40.600 It doesn't matter. You're supposed to say American. In the 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:44.400 case of General Flynn, they said, General Flynn, that's unmasking. 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:49.720 Now we know that Ambassador Samantha Power may have made 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:54.600 hundreds of unmasking request Why and to identify and classified 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:59.920 intelligence reports related to the Trump administration, the presidential transition team. 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.600 Why would she ever do that? Why was Susan Rice 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.400 doing it? Why was Ben Rhoades doing it? They're all 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:10.440 being investigated now for it. Why the FBI director released 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.280 classified information? Why is the General Council of the FBI 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:18.160 being investigated? This is this goes to the heart of 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:24.160 our constitutional protections and freedoms and your government. There are 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:30.840 some deep state officials that are now weaponizing the tools 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:36.800 of intelligence, and they are clearly spying, unmasking, and leaking 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:42.480 intelligence on American citizens. And clearly there's a political motivation here, 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.520 and clearly the fact that it went up three during 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:49.040 the Trump years tells us all it's politically motivated to 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:52.120 begin with. And if we don't get to the bottom 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:59.000 of this, you won't have safety security, constitutional protections, Fourth 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:03.600 Amendment protection And I'm not overstating this alright, told the 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.679 top of the AI we drive liberals crazy. We do 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.040 eight nine one, Shawn our number, and I'm i'm We're 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.800 gonna do an hour in the next hour. Sarah Carter 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.120 is going to join us from Circu News and also 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:21.160 Caroline click who is with the Jerusalem Post. We've got 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:26.040 incredible information about all of these Obama hold over people 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:31.880 that are involved in the unmasking of well Trump officials. 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:33.640 Let me let me give read to you. For example, 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:38.000 from today's Washington Freebeacon. Former United States Ambassador Samantha Power 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:42.160 is believed to have had made hundreds of a masking 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:48.760 request to identify individuals named and classified intelligence community reports 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:52.119 related to Trump and his presidential transition team, according to 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:56.719 multiple sources, who said the behavior is unprecedented for an 0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:00.600 official in her position. Powers first identify hide by the 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:04.159 Washington Free Beacon last month as a central figure and 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:09.080 a Congressional investigation into efforts by senior Obama administration officials 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:14.119 to obtain classified intelligence information and what made many alleged 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.760 was an effort to undermine President Donald Trump and his 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:22.359 incoming national security team. Samantha Powers believed to be the 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:26.960 anonymous official responsible for hundreds of a masking request during 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.400 the final year of the Obama administration. By the way, 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.080 the same period that we now know Ben Rhodes is 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:36.320 being investigated into. According the current former U S officials 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.480 who spoke to the Free Beacon about the ongoing investigation. 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.399 Now we expect tomorrow we're going to hear from the 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:46.160 Attorney General, Jeff Sessions on a lot of this efforts 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.800 by the former Obama administration to obtain the names of 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:55.240 Trump allies, including raw intelligence reports. Raw is important because 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.639 raw doesn't give the full picture. It may not be 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.520 context and textured of what actually went on in that call. 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.760 Anyway it goes on. They have fueled speculation that subsequent 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:10.800 leaks to the press orchestrated by former Obama administration officials 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.280 and its allies in a bid to damage the current 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:18.600 White House and smear Trump's most senior confidence. Remember Representative 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.280 Devin Newness, He's the chairman of the House Intelligence Community, 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.840 which is handling the probe. He petitioned the Director of 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.760 National Intelligence Dan Coates last week to request his help 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:34.280 in addressing this unmasking issue. Newness disclosed in his letter 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:38.480 that the former Obama administration at easy access to sensitive 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.680 classified information and that they may have used it to 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:46.159 achieve partisan political purposes, including the selective, anonymous leaking of 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:50.840 such information. And it goes on from there. Congressional investigators 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:57.280 uncovered that one official whose position has no apparent intelligence 0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:01.600 related function, now believed to be Samantha, were made hundreds 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:04.040 of um asking requests during the final year of the 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:06.920 Obama administration. Do you understand what we're talking about here? 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:14.520 You're talking about people. Remember, we keep talking about Obama holdovers, 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:18.680 we keep talking about deep state, we keep talking about 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:22.280 some of the intelligence community, only a very small I 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:25.520 want to be clear, these intelligence officials are amazing. They 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:29.120 keep us safe, but some of them have other motives. 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:32.959 And clearly there's a political motive here. And if somebody 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:37.960 likes Samantha, power has the ability to unmasked hundreds of 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:42.760 of Trump and presidential transition team members. We have now 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:49.960 weaponized politically the tools of intelligence gathering, and they're using 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:57.359 it to advance their own political position and undermine the country. Here, 0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:02.960 you understand that this is illegal when when you're talking 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:08.560 about surveillance on masking for political purposes, that is an 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:13.119 abuse of intelligence gathering, and then taking it to another level, 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:17.680 and that's leaking raw intelligence, which has happened again and 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:22.840 again and again. You have now taken the powerful tools 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:26.880 that are designed to keep you and me an Americans safe, 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:30.520 and you're using them as a political weapon against an 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:34.199 opposition party. Do you see how dangerous this is? Do 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:37.320 you understand now what I've been talking about. I have 0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:40.040 known so much more than I have been able to 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.320 tell up until this point, and I have so much 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:46.040 more that is coming out. This is not a game here. 0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:50.800 If you believe in privacy, if you believe in your 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:55.960 Fourth amend and protections against unreasonable search and seizure, your 0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:59.199 government needs a warrant, even the fives of courts, you've 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:02.240 got to have a warrant. And then we learned very on, 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:06.200 very very early on with Sarah Carter and John Solomon, 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:09.560 Oh the warrants were issued. Remember there was talk that 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:12.680 in fact they were spying on the Trump administration. And 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:15.400 I went against the media and I said, oh, there 0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:18.359 were warrants. Nobody else talked about him. All the media 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:21.639 cares about his palace intrigue. All the media cares about 0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:26.159 is Russia. Russia. Well, this is far more important right now, 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:29.760 and there's more evidence to prove. We now know are 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:33.879 increase and I'm masking of of Americans. We know a 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:38.000 lot of it was targeted specifically to use intelligence to 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:41.480 hurt the incoming president, to hurt the candidate, to hurt 0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:44.960 his transition team. We know it hurt General Flynn. He 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:47.800 lost his job because of an illegal leak in a 0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:52.560 violation of the Espionage Act. Do you understand how profound 0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:56.520 this is? Do you understand why it is that we 0:22:56.720 --> 0:23:00.800 have these protections in place? Do you understand and the dangers? 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:04.080 Do you know how powerful these tools of surveillance are 0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:09.320 that we've given our government to protect us. Do you 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:13.680 understand that the fact that we have not upgraded cybersecurity 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:17.280 at all, it's a it's a you know, at some 0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:23.479 point you can't blame some outside hacker because you were 0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:26.680 too stupid as a country to protect the data. When 0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:29.919 you know they've been trying to do this for thirty years. 0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:33.960 They've been doing this people and getting away with it. 0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:37.080 And then when you see that the way that the 0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:41.920 government is run and the level of corruption. Now we've 0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:45.720 got Ben Rhodes, Okay, Ben Rhodes, we have Circa documents. 0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:49.320 According to documents reviewed by Circa dot com, government officials 0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:55.639 conducted thirty thousand, three fifty five searches in seeking information 0:23:55.680 --> 0:24:01.600 about Americans and NSA intercept metadata metadata, which include telephone numbers, 0:24:01.680 --> 0:24:05.920 email addresses. The activities a thirty percent increase over the 0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:08.600 prior year. Why in an election year is there such 0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:12.240 an increase? Why is that possible? Because they wanted to 0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:15.640 spy on the Trump administration. They wanted to weapon rise 0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:19.800 the tools of intelligence, and they wanted to do it 0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:23.680 for political purposes. And now they're doing it to undermine you, 0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:28.720 the American people. And now they're doing it to prevent 0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:34.520 the agenda you voted for from getting enacted. These are 0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:37.879 serious issues we're talking about. When the General Council of 0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:43.000 the FBI is now being investigated for leaking intelligence, we've 0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:46.879 got a problem. If James Comey can come along and 0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:52.200 and use government documents and violate the Records Act potentially 0:24:52.240 --> 0:24:56.680 and violate the Espion on Jack potentially because it's classified information, 0:24:56.840 --> 0:24:58.879 and have his buddy at Columbia leak it to the 0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:02.040 New York Times. We've got not a problem. If the 0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:05.440
