WEBVTT - TDS Time Machine | It's Classified 0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:09.600 You're listening to comedy Central. Yew. Let's begin with explosive news. 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:13.760 Secrets are out about the war in Afghanistan, not. 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:17.040 Just a leak, but a flood of secret documents, ninety 0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:18.680 two thousand documents. 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.880 It's the biggest leak in US military history. 0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:26.279 Really, ninety two thousand pages. I would hope that would 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:30.680 be the biggest leak, seeing as that beats the Pentagon 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:35.480 papers by I don't know, eighty five thousand pages. Perhaps 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:37.640 this might be an appropriate time to let leakers of 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:41.040 military documents know it's not a competition. 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.360 So it's some top secrets. 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.040 We just came from an off camera session with Colonel 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:51.599 Dave Lapana, Pentagon spokesman. 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.440 He says it looks to be secret in nature, not 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:55.440 top secret. 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:59.800 No, it's just secret. I was worried. I thought it 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:01.680 tops It's just secret. 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.280 That is a much lower security classification that topsier. It 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.920 actually goes army classification wise, a secret, then top secret, 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:13.120 and then of course I believe pop secret. That is 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:16.679 where all of our military information is encoded in fluffy 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:26.600 and delicious butter coated kernels. Oh sopernicious. An intelligence breach 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.959 of this magnitude must have been coordinated by a conspiracy 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.880 of high level masterminds with ninja like powers of concealment. 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:36.400 Last May, a California computer hacker was contacted online by 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:40.240 someone calling himself Brad Ass eighty seven. He said he 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.960 was an Army intelligence analyst deployed to Baghdad who had 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:49.480 access to classified networks that showed incredible things, awful things 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.400 that belong in the public domain. 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:52.840 Okay, I'm gonna stop. 0:01:52.640 --> 0:02:06.440 You right there, Brad Ass eighty seven. Really the incredible 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.280 supermul spy went by the name Brad Ass eighty seven 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.320 and told the computer hacker that he was in Army intelligence. 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:15.720 Let me take awhay and trying to solve this. 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.919 Maybe I've been watching Bones too much, but computer search 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.920 through the files looking for an army specialist named Brad 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:29.600 who's eighty seven years old, no wait, born in nineteen 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.240 eighty seven, and. 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:36.520 Go on May twenty sixth Army specialist Brad Manning born 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:40.480 in nineteen eighty seven was arrested outside of Baghdad and 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.560 is now in a military prison. 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:49.040 How did they find him? How did they do it? Well? 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:50.360 In Sherlock Holms. 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:53.959 By the way, Brad, you also might want to delete 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.640 your Army specialist dot Brad Manning backslash leak guy at 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:04.639 it was me dot Brad Manning. Does brad ass eighty 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.520 seven have any idea what he's done to the American military, 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:08.919 Not to mention what he's done to the life of 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.120 Dove soap Air Bradford Assington, the eighty seventh. 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:14.600 Path. 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.480 He suffered enough for Christ's sake, the eighty seventh generation 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:19.600 of Assington's. 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.560 All the money in the world can't change that last name. 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:26.320 That's why he's a douchebag? 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:31.560 Is that? 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.720 I'm just curious? Is that a stop photo? I'm over. 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:41.080 Guys that we're going I thought that was a modeling job. Look, 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.440 maybe Manning didn't need a secret name. Maybe his data 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.960 collection skills were that stealth. 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.160 He allegedly also described how he downloaded the classified information. 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.920 I would come in with music on a CD labeled 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.560 with something like Lady Gaga, and he raced the music 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:04.240 recording intelligence out of the CD instead, allegedly writing that 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.680 he lip sync to Lady Gaga while exciltrating possibly the 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.120 largest datas village in American history. 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.400 I believe the obvious question here is how does a 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:28.800 soldier sit around lip syncing to Lady Gaga all day 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:34.240 and not run a foul of don't ask, don't tell that. 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.000 That has got to be a substitute for telling no. 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.479 So WikiLeaks dot org has posted ninety two thousand classified 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.000 documents about the Afghan war online. 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:46.400 Well, let's le let's let's take a look. 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:47.280 What is the uh? 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:47.880 Is it? 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:52.040 Oh? Okay? Wow? 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.160 Apparently our worst strategy in Afghanistan is being encoded in 0:04:56.320 --> 0:05:03.480 Justin Bieber's Twitter account. Any news organizations out there taking 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:07.320 the time to maybe wade through these documents and boil 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:08.280 it down a bit for us. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:13.359 The leaked records give precise accounts of missions gone horribly wrong. 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:18.440 Helicopters shot down, two religious schools are providing ninety five 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:23.520 percent of suicide attackers. There is also horrifying detail about 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:28.640 civilian deaths. In two thousand and seven, Pakistan's military intelligence agency, 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:35.480 the ISI, is helping the Afghan insurgency attack American troops. 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:36.479 What the. 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.320 Pakistanis do? We give them billions of dollars. 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.080 Of aid that Pakistan is funneling that money. 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:45.839 To the Taliban. 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:51.840 One of the chief financial contributors to our enemy is US. 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:59.240 We have ostensibly put a hit out on ourselves. 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:05.080 This is insanity. Or to put it another way, Oh, I. 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:06.880 Think there's nothing new really here. 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.359 This is sort of a storm in a teacup. 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.280 The substance, frankly, is not new. 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:16.040 On the content, there really is nothing essentially fundamentally new. 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.360 Yees see, I'm not wrecking to the newness of it. 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:24.040 I'm reacting to the uppardness of it. What does it 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:25.680 take to get you guys fired up? 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:28.960 What does it do? 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.800 Seriously, what all these documents are doing is exposing the 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.560 existential trap we find ourselves in in Afghanistan. 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.280 I guess it's no kid may or may not be 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:42.080 in balloon. 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:52.880 That was crazy that whole afternoon. I was like in there, 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:55.599 I'm terrible. 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:01.120 Have you heard the news? 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:05.919 Extra extra future President Hillary Clinton may have to pardon 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.920 former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.760 A bombshell report that Hillary Clinton may have violated the 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.400 law during her time at the State Department. 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.000 Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.960 my god. What did you do? 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.080 Did she she funnel arms to Isis to pay for 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.960 a land deal in Arkansas? Did she sell Alaska back 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.720 to the Russians in exchange for their silence on Benghazi? 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:34.120 What did she do pad her resume with fake countries 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.600 she supposedly negotiated treaties with. I should have known there 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:38.440 was no such thing as pants suit. 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:39.080 As Stan. 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.440 Hit me with the bad news, it appears that while 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.760 she was Secretary of State, she did not have an 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.080 official email account at all. 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:03.160 Oh is that against the law not to have an 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.280 email again? I mean, it seems less of a scandal 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.560 and more of like a nerd snap, like, Oh, she's 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:09.760 so old she doesn't even have. 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:11.320 An official email account. 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:14.480 I mean, what's the big deal about not having an 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.320 email account? Or what am I missing here? 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:21.960 Hillary Clinton may have broken federal record keeping rules by 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.480 using a personal email account instead of a state department account. 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.920 The official rules are that you're supposed to use government accounts, 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.600 which are saved for public record and are considered more secure. 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.520 Oh okay, well that's not nothing. That's when she should 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:36.120 have done that, right. 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:41.520 But don't we have a facility in Utah that collects 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:46.600 all of our email anyway, solving the whole archive problem. 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.120 Can't you just ask them or they don't talk to 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.720 you either. Why is this coming out now? 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.920 Wasn't it clear to anybody who emailed Secretary Clinton during 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.040 that time, that her email address was her personal email. 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.600 Or somebody in the White House in the West Wing. 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.199 How didn email to send to the Sector of State? 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.480 Did they just use her private email? How did they 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:10.679 get in contact with her? Did that never raise a 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:11.720 flag inside the West Wing? 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:13.640 I did it not also raise a red flag in 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.920 the West Wing that her personal email was don't tell 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:17.959 anyone about this account at secret slash sh. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.680 Dot definitely not gov. 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:23.240 Come out. 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.000 I felt like the State Department didn't eventually get all 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:30.040 the Clinton emails that Clinton decided they should get. 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:34.640 In twenty fourteen, Clinton did hand over fifty five thousand 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.719 pages after the State Department sent a written request for 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.840 the records. AIDS say they tossed out Clinton's personal notes, 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:43.520 like memos on her daughter's wedding. 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:48.880 I believe it is a sign that you have been 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:53.120 in government too long when you write memos about your 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:53.880 daughter's wedding. 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.400 Read the happiest day of your life. 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.079 Your father and I look very forward to sharing the 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.240 event with you. We love you very much, dictated not read. 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.840 I think the concern there is that the AIDS are 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.720 the ones who get to decide which emails are appropriate 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.439 to be shared as opposed to an independent arbiter. That's 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:19.360 why Dorito's doesn't get to decide which ingredients consumers need 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:23.080 to know about, or why you don't get. 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:27.280 To tell the cops which pockets to search. Wait, officer, 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:27.839 not that one. 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:33.520 That's my weed pocket, and those other two gentlemen are 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:34.240 the bows? 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.040 Is there another reason that she didn't need to archive 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:41.320 her emails with State. 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.720 Secretary Powell wrote about this and his book. He had 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.480 a personal laptop installed in his office so he could 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:48.520 use personal email. 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:52.480 Oh but I think the regulation started in two thousand 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:52.719 and nine. 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.200 No, and then four years after Powell left. 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.520 And I mean, if Colin Powell was using a personal 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.559 email address, they didn't really have rules on personal emails. 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.720 They had because you know, back then email wasn't really 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:06.080 as prevalent laptops they explain why Powell felt the need 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:12.079 to install one in his office. How can we know 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:16.120 that Clinton even turned over all her relevant emails. 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.920 She has taken steps to preserve those records by providing 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.760 the State Department with the fifty five thousand pages. I 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.400 think fifty five thousand is a pretty big number. 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:35.480 It is a big number. There are bigger. 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.440 A million, and it's not as big as the number 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.800 of pages Clinton actually had. But that's the crazy thing 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:46.240 about numbers is you know, you can always top them. 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.360 Somebody be like, you have one hundred Dalmatians. That's a 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.720 load of Dalmatians.

Oh no, there's 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:41.040 spam today once again. 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:42.680 By the way, we've get our program with a continuing 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.240 saga of WikiLeaks, a two hundred and fifty thousand page 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:54.960 document dump that, like most post Thanksgiving dumps, is endless. 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.000 And fascinating to pick through. 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.600 And if you know, any thinking about my family should 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:05.640 of course remain classified. The release of many embarrassing and 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.360 possibly damaging diplomatic cables has introduced the world to a 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:14.800 new super villain, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange Assange shep am 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:15.760 I pronouncing. 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.840 That right Wiki leaks and it's founder of this man, 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.440 Julian Assange ah. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.440 Assal, thank you chf hal. 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.079 Assannge is the founder of wiki leaks, a site not 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.280 to be confused with Wiki leaks, where for ten ninety 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.040 nine a month you can. 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:35.800 Self explanatory. 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:39.520 Really, this is WikiLeaks, a website whose sole purpose is 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:40.880 to expose information. 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:42.839 So who is this oshol? 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.160 Working in secrecy? He hides the location of computer service 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.240 to ward off cyber attack, and hides his own location, 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:54.400 moving and changing names and email addresses to ward off arrest. 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.199 Clearly they are working with terrorist organizations. 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:58.800 I believe they've become one themselves. 0:13:59.120 --> 0:13:59.280 Dah. 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:05.360 Clearly Assange is Osama bin Laden crossed with Magneto and 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.720 the Albino from the Matrix with more than a scooch 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:13.079 of the Dice and vacuum guy. Yeah, it's mostly the 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:19.160 Dyson vacuum guy. Quite frankly, anyway, what hath Assange been? 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:23.120 Dice in wrought cables that reportedly show Secretary of State 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:27.600 Hillary Clinton and Condaleza Rice before her ordered US embassies 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.840 and intelligence services to gather private information on UN leaders 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:32.640 and diplomats. 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:37.400 Yemen's President Sala, telling General David PETREUS about strikes in Yemen, 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.760 will continue saying the bombs are ours, not yours. 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:45.040 German Chancellor Merkel avoids risk and is rarely creative. Afghan 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.560 President Karzai is driven by paranoia. 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.920 Dmitri Medyetev plays Robin to mister Putin's batman. 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:52.720 Achmedinajad is hitler. 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.400 Italy's foreign minister is calling this leak a diplomatic nine 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:56.920 to eleven. 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:02.480 Well, then he's a idiot, I mean, not for nothing. 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.920 But if this is the diplomatic nine to eleven sack up, 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:14.000 I'll give you its diplomatic mischief night maybe, But most 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:16.320 of this in there's non policy chit chat and things 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.360 we already knew, and quite frankly, Ahmadinajad is hitler. I 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.640 think he might take that as a compliment, a peace 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.280 offering towards a deton I mean. 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:27.360 Transparency is a good thing. 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:31.040 Government wrongdoing should be ferreted out, although just because something 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.960 secret doesn't necessarily mean it's nefarious how Secretary of State 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.560 Hillary Clinton dealing with the blowback Nam Secretary? 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:39.200 Are you embarrassed? 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:40.720 Pavings Lakes personally? 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:41.720 Professionally? 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:51.440 Is she embarrassed? Were you alive in the nineties? Do 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.920 you have any idea who you're dealing with? Do you 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:56.560 know she's married to this guy? 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:56.880 Right? 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:00.920 I think she's built up a bit of an embarrassment 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:04.720 tolerance to be like splitting a MIC's hard lemonade with 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:06.040 Keith Richards and going. 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:09.760 Should I call you a cab? Are you too up 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:10.320 to drive? 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.080 Not that there weren't some embarrassing details on. 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:19.840 The effort to close Guantanamo. 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.720 The State Department plays what the New York Times calls 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:26.120 let's make a deal. Slovenia, for example, is told that 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.080 if it wants to get a meeting with President into Obama. 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:30.200 It needs to take a prisoner. 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:31.960 Sounds a little desperate. 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.880 Offering foreign leaders FaceTime with the president exchange for taking 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:39.080 a GITMO detainee. It could hopefully be more effective than 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.640 Obama's original take a prisoner or leave a prisoner jar. 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:49.120 So ultimately very few took a lot of people left. 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:53.480 Ultimately an interesting, yet somewhat less explosive and less than 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:54.640 searing indictment. 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:59.320 So why Assange, Why? I'm sorry, Assage? 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:04.200 Why us home? What drives you? I'm a combative person. 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:09.320 That's how I like crushing Bastin's So it is deeply personally, personally, 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:11.399 deeply satisfying to me. 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.959 I think you're underestimating how cynical Americans are about our 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:20.560 government already. We've engineered coups in Chile, Iran, Guatemala, etc. 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:22.920 We sold arms to Iran and then used the money 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:24.600 to fund Central American revolutionaries. 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:25.520 We sell weapons to. 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:29.960 Our enemy's enemy, who somehow always then becomes our enemy and. 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.600 Forces us to defend ourselves from our own weapons. That 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:34.280 happens a lot. 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.880 In fact, you know what we call that the number eight. 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:42.040 It takes a lot to unimpress us. You really should 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:45.720 read up about this. We already know about us. So 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.080 unless in these wiki leaks, we're going to find out 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:52.600 that the aliens from Aria fifty one killed Kennedy, stop 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.560 with the drama. For more on the story, we go 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.680 to our senior intelligence correspondent, Ausif Monti. 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.040 What is what is all this wiki leaks? 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.760 Well, John, it's the twenty first century. What I've coined 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:18.399 the information age a glorious thank you, a glorious utopian 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.960 data escape in which everyone has a right to know 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:24.639 everything about everyone. It's why I get to see your 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:25.680 penis at the airport. 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:31.679 You know you don't get to I'm not gonna let 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:32.679 you see my penis. 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:34.200 Why what are you hiding? 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:37.320 I'm hiding my penis? 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.680 Oh? Oh really? 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:40.080 Yes? 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:43.160 Is there something about your penis that you don't want 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.679 us to know about? Are you in favor or are 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:48.840 you not in favor of transparency? 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:50.400 But that's not transparency. 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:52.800 Transparency being open to the public and important issues and 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.359 processes so that the public can make informed decisions. 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.920 A wrong again, Rip van, old grandpa man. 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:04.280 Transparency is about me knowing everything I don't already know, 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.840 because if I don't know it, that means someone's keeping 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:09.720 it from me, like your penis. 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.400 So you're my penis is a metaphor? 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:16.239 Sure that helps you sleep at night? 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:16.640 All right? 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:16.879 You know? 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:20.640 Should everything as if be out there? 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:25.360 If there's total transparency, we won't really see anything. 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:26.960 Oh, I'm an. 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:31.840 Old twentieth century man driving my car to get food. 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.600 People still do that you don't do.

Right. 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:19.680 And then remember how literally the day after that, the 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:20.359 day after that. 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:24.240 He hosted Russians, two top diplomats in the Oval Office. 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:26.440 You remember that yet, and then we were all like, man, 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:27.800 he can't get any worse. 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:29.560 We were wrong. 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:34.920 Breaking news tonight, President Trump reportedly revealed highly classified information 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:38.520 to Russia's foreign minister and Russia's ambassador in a White 0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:39.680 House meeting last week. 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:41.960 This according to The Washington. 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:45.160 Post, which cites current and former US officials as saying 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:49.760 that Trump's disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:50.879 the Islamic state. 0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:55.240 I knew it, no, I knew something was up when 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:58.440 we saw President Trump with the Russians and they were smiling. 0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:02.000 There's only two times a Russian man smiles the day 0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:05.280 he dies. And this, I mean, once again, this sounds 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:06.640 like a story that we would invent. 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:07.040 Right. 0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:10.280 Trump invites the Russians into the Oval Office and then 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:14.240 in his meeting starts bragging, I get grade intel. 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:17.800 I have people brief me on grade Intel. 0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:22.880 Every day and then proceeds to give them the intel. 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:26.480 He probably doesn't even know what intel is short for 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:29.560 My intellivision is the best. 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:34.240 It gets the highest ratings, best. 0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:34.720 Ratings of a. 0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:39.840 What's really sad about this is that Donald Trump is 0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:42.840 trying to impress the Russians with the fact that he's president. 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:44.280 They know. 0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:48.080 The guys.
