1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Which included possible criminal acts like secret meetings with multiple

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: named U S religious organizations in which State Department officials offered,

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: in exchange for supporting Secretary Clinton's campaign for the presidency,

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: significant increases in financing from the State Department. They also

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: had documents that showed the patronage of the State Department

6
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: to State Department employees who would go and support Hillary

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: Clinton's presidential campaign. There were high level DNC emails that

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: detailed evidence of Hillary's quote psycho emotional problems, uncontrolled fits

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness, and that then Secretary Clinton

10
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: was allegedly on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers. Then

11
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: CIA Director Brennan and the intelligence community mischaracterized intelligence and

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: relied on dubious, substandard sources to create a contrived, false

13
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: narrative that putin developed a quote unquote clear preference for Trump.

14
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,639
Speaker 1: Brennan and the ICE misled lawmakers by referencing the debunked

15
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: Steele dossier to assess quote unquote Russia's plans and intentions,

16
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: falsely suggesting that this dossier had intelligence.

17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: Value when he knew that it was discredited.

18
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: The intelligence community excluded significant intelligence and ignored or selectively

19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: quoted reliable intelligence that contradicted the Intelligence Community assessment's key

20
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: findings on Putin's alleged support for Trump. Including this intelligence

21
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: reporting would have exposed the ICA's claim as implausible, if

22
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: not ridiculous. The Intelligence Community assessment omitted reliably sourced information

23
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: such as how some Russian intelligence officials were quote unquote

24
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: planning for candidate Hillary Clinton's victory, while others assessed neither

25
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: Trump nor Clinton would respect Russia's interests, as was reflected

26
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: in the odeon I documents that we released on Friday.

27
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: Multiple intelligence community assessments released in the month's leading up

28
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: to the November twenty sixteen election concluded that Russia had

29
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: neither the intent nor capability to impact the outcome of

30
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: the US election. On December fifth of twenty sixteen, the

31
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: FBI and ode and I gave the House Intelligence Committee

32
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: its first post election classified briefing, in which there was

33
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: no mention of Putin aspiring to elect Trump by either agency.

34
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: The Presidential Daily Brief, drafted on December eighth of twenty sixteen,

35
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: stated that no Russian or criminal actors impacted vote counts.

36
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: This document was pulled just hours before it was to

37
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: be published due to quote unquote new guidance.

38
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: If it had been published, it would have been.

39
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: Briefed to both President Obama and President elect Donald Trump.

40
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: On December ninth, twenty sixteen, a National Security Council meeting

41
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: was called to gather President Obama's senior national security officials,

42
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: which included CIA Director Brennan, then Obama, D and I,

43
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: James Clapper, Susan Rice, and others. Following that secret meeting,

44
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: d n I, Clapper's assistant sent an email to the

45
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: intelligence community with the subject line potus tasking on Russia

46
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: election medaling, tasking OD and I leaders to create a

47
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: new assessment per the President's request. The House Intelligence Committee

48
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: oversite report that we released today reveals that quote Unlike

49
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: routine intelligence community analysis, the Intelligence Community assessment was a

50
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: high profile product ordered by the President President Obama. It

51
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: directed senior intelligence community agency heads and created an intelligence

52
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: community assessment limited to just five analysts using one principal drafter.

53
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: This is not something that occurs in the normal path

54
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: of producing an intelligence community assessment that reflects the views

55
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: across the intelligence community. The production of this Intelligence community

56
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: assessment was subject to unusual directives directly from the President

57
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: and senior political copointees, especially the former Director of the CIA,

58
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: John Brennan. The House Intelligence Committee oversite report also shows

59
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: how later that same day, on December ninth, Brennan ordered

60
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: the publication of quote unquote substandard reporting on Russian activities,

61
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: which had previously been withheld from publication of prior assessments

62
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: because the information was judged quote to have not met

63
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: long standing publication standards.

64
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: Some of the information later used in the.

65
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: Obama ordered assessment, over the objections of veteran CIA officers,

66
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: was quote unquote unclear or from unknown sources. The Intelligence

67
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: Committee's oversite report reveals that CIA Director Brennan overruled senior

68
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: CIA officers who challenged the Obama ordered intelligence assessment, stating, quote,

69
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: we don't have direct information that Putin wanted to get

70
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: Trump elected. Yet the Obama directed assessment was published on

71
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: January sixth, twenty seventeen, which delicit least stated quote, we

72
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: assess Putin and the Russian government aspired to help President

73
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: elect Trump's election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton

74
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him. End of quote,

75
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: The CIA and FBI, then led by John Brennan and

76
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: James Comy, expressed high confidence in this judgment, while the

77
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: NSA expressed moderate confidence. Yet, as the report we released

78
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: today shows, the ICA the Intelligence Community assessment did not

79
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: cite any report where Putin indicated helping Trump win was

80
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: an objective. The opposite is true with regards to the

81
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,119
Speaker 1: Steele dossier. We now know that one of the source

82
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: documents that the Obama administration used in the creation of

83
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: this intelligence assessment in January of twenty seventeen was none

84
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: other than the discredited, unverified Steele dossier. The House Intel

85
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: report states, quote, contradicting the public claims by then CIA

86
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: Director Brennan that the dossier was not in any way

87
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: incorporated into this intelligence assessment. The dossier was referenced in

88
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: the intelligence assessment's main body text and further detailed in

89
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: a two page assessment annex.

90
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: John Brennan lied.

91
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: And he denied using this dossier in this intelligence assessment

92
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: that President Obama ordered because he knew it was discredited,

93
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: it was a politically motivated, manufactured document. He directed senior

94
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: CIA officials to use it anyway. CIA officer told the

95
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: House Intelligence Committee staff as they investigated this quote, The

96
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: Director of the CIA, John Brennan, refused to remove it, and,

97
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: when confronted with the dossier's many flaws, responded, quote, yes,

98
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: but doesn't it ring true? Even the bipartisan Senate Select

99
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: Committee on Intelligence report published in twenty twenty, criticized the

100
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 1: FBI's handling of the steel Dot, noting its completely unverified

101
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: nature and purposeful side stepping of intelligence community procedures in

102
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: its use. Now President Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper,

103
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: James Coby, and others, including their mouthpieces in the media,

104
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: knowingly lied as they repeated the contrived narrative that was

105
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: created in this January twenty seventeen Intelligence Community assessment with

106
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: high confidence, as though it were fact. John Brennan, as

107
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,239
Speaker 1: CIA Director, stated in a memo to his agency staff

108
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: in December of twenty sixteen, saying there is strong consensus

109
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: among us on the scope, nature, and intent of Russian

110
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: interference in our presidential elected election. This was reported by

111
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: NBC News confirming that Brennan, along with James Clapper and

112
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: James Comey, agreed with the CIA's assessment that Russia intervened

113
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: to help Trump win the presidency. As Obama's Director of

114
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: National Intelligence, James Clapper was tapped with overseeing the creation

115
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: of this assessment in January of twenty seventeen by President Obama,

116
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: and he expressed confidence in its findings. In a twenty

117
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: eighteen interview with the Harvard Gazette, he talked about how

118
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: he provided Trump with the same classified assessment that President

119
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: Obama received, which included the high confidence judgment that putin

120
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: directly ordered the hacking and election interference. Clapper then went

121
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: on to add, I think they, the Russians, actually influenced

122
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: the outcome. This is a brief summary of the details

123
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: that you'll find within the House Majority Staff's report in

124
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: their investigation into the Obama directed January twenty seventeen Intelligence

125
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: community assessment that leads us to the very same conclusion

126
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: that we announced in the release of.

127
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: Our documents on Friday.

128
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: The implications of this are far reaching and have to

129
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: do with the integrity of our democratic republic. It has

130
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: to do with an outgoing president taking action to manufacture

131
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: intelligence to undermine and usurp the will of the American

132
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: people in that election and launch what would be a

133
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: year's long coup against the incoming President of the United States,

134
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: Donald Trump.

135
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 3: Thank you, Thank you, Telsey, and we do want to

136
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: take questions on this topic. While the director has time

137
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: for this topic, she will leave. I'm happy to take

138
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: questions on other matters after that, but if anyone has

139
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: questions for Director Gabbard, you're welcome to ask them. We'll

140
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: start with our new media seat as always, Emily, go ahead.

141
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 4: Thank you, and Director Gabbard, this one is for you.

142
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 5: Do you believe that any of this new information implicates

143
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 5: former President Obama and criminal behavior?

144
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: We have referred and will continue to refer all of

145
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI

146
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: to investigate the criminal implications of this For even the

147
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: correct the evidence that we have found and that we

148
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing

149
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: of this intelligence assessment. There are multiple pieces of evidence

150
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: and intelligence that confirm that fact ed.

151
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 6: Go ahead, Director Garrett, thank you.

152
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 7: So just to.

153
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 6: Two questions to begin on that the president yesterday, you've

154
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 6: inferred that the former president help leaded coup. Based on

155
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 6: what you now see, do you believe President Obama is

156
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 6: guilty of treason?

157
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm leaving the criminal charges to the Department of Justice.

158
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: I am not an attorney, but as I've said previously,

159
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: when you look at the intent behind creating a fake,

160
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: manufactured intelligence document that directly contradicts multiple assessments that were

161
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: created by the intelligence community, the expressed intent and what

162
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: followed afterward can only be described as a year's long

163
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: coup and a treason. This conspiracy against the American people

164
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: are republic and an attempt to undermine President Trump's administration.

165
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 6: The Senate Intelligence Committee spent several years looking into this

166
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 6: and unanimously agreed in that Biprices and Fashions. Secretary State

167
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 6: Rubia was a member of that committee, that there was

168
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 6: no political interference. There was a year's long Justice Department

169
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 6: investigation into this as well that also concluded no political interference.

170
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 6: So help us, from a fifty thousand foot level, explain

171
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 6: what do you now have that refutes those two services.

172
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: I will encourage you.

173
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: In my role as the Director of National Intelligence, my job, again,

174
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: as I said when I came into this role, was

175
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: to make sure that we are telling the truth to

176
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: the American people and that we are ensuring that the

177
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: intelligence community is not being politicized. So I'm not asking

178
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: you to take my word for it. I'm asking you

179
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: and the media to conduct honest journalism and the American

180
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: people to see for yourself in the documents that we've released,

181
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: now close to two hundred pages, that point in multiple references,

182
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: multiple examples, to include comments that have been made by

183
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: senior intelligence professionals who are some still working within these

184
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: agencies today that confirm the conclusions that we have drawn

185
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: that President Obama directed an intelligence community assessment to be

186
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: created to further this contrived, false narrative that ultimately led

187
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: to a year's long coup to try to undermine President

188
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: Trump's presidency.

189
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 6: Did you believe that those two previous investigations dismissed that

190
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 6: or covered it up.

191
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm telling you to look at the evidence. Look at

192
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: the evidence, and you will know the truth.

193
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 8: John, Thanks Caroline, Thanks Director Gavert. You declassify these documents

194
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 8: if I'm not mistaken. Friday of last week.

195
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: Correct, We released them on Friday of last week. The

196
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: first truant, Yes, this.

197
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 8: Isn't the first time that President Trump has been president

198
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 8: of the United States. He was president from twenty seventeen

199
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 8: to twenty twenty one. Couldn't the prior D and I

200
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 8: under President Trump have declassified these documents and why didn't

201
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 8: that D and I do that at that time?

202
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: I can't speak to what happened there. There were several

203
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: dnis under the first Trump administration. President Trump faced many

204
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: challenges from those who were working in the government who

205
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: sought to undermine his presidency.

206
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,239
Speaker 2: That's been clearly detailed.

207
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: What I can speak to is the fact that this

208
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: was one of the first things that we started to

209
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: investigate here within this Trump administration and have released the

210
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: results upon the conclusion of our investigation.

211
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 8: Has to do with what intelligence agencies around the world

212
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,599
Speaker 8: have said about Russia that they have tried to influence

213
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 8: elections in the United States, in France, in Germany.

214
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 9: In the UK. Do you disagree with that?

215
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 8: Do you believe that Russia is a bad actor as

216
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 8: it relates to trying to influence elections.

217
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: I'll point back to the intelligence that President Trump has

218
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: ordered declassified that we have declassified and released. That the

219
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: intelligence reflects Russia's motives or to try to sow discord

220
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: and chaos within the US election, which is a clear

221
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: distinction from showing a preference for or against a specific candidate,

222
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: which is what the Obama manufactured intelligence document alleges that

223
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: Russia preferred Donald Trump and tried to help Donald Trump

224
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: get elected again, going back to the most important point here,

225
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: with the intent to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump's

226
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: election and therefore subvert the will of the American people

227
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: who chose to send him to the White House.

228
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 10: Regan Thanks doctor Gabbard Rage Marie with the Daily Caller,

229
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 10: you laid out that the documents revealed that the Obama

230
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 10: administration did not publish a December twenty sixteen Presidential Daily

231
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 10: Briefing that demonstrated that Russia did not steal the election.

232
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 11: Trump was receiving these free things at the time because

233
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 11: he was president elect. Are you of the view that

234
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 11: that information was kept out of the briefing because then

235
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 11: president lacks Donald Trump would have seen it.

236
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: I don't have any documents that speak to exactly what

237
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: the new guidance was that was given as the reason

238
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: for pulling that document, which by the way, still has

239
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: never been published until we released it last week Friday.

240
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: One could assume that they didn't want President Trump to

241
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: see a document that came from the intelligence community that

242
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: would contradict the Russia hoax narrative that began through the

243
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton campaign with the Steele dossier.

244
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 11: Well more, maybe either for you or Caroline, the President

245
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 11: said yesterday that Obama commended treason.

246
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: Does do you or the White House believe that.

247
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 11: The Supreme Court's community decision protects Obama from prosecution.

248
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 4: Look, I can speak to the President's feelings on this matter.

249
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 3: He spoke to all of you yesterday in the Oval Office,

250
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: but I also spoke to him about this this morning,

251
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 3: and he wants to see all those who perpetuated this

252
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: fraud against our country, who betrayed our country and the constitution,

253
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: to be thoroughly investigated and held accountable. And it's been

254
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: ten years of this and I would just add, based

255
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: on everything the Director has said and declassified, all of

256
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 3: you in this room should go through it and take

257
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 3: a look at this report and review the intelligence because

258
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: unfortunately that hasn't happened. And many of the people who

259
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: perpetuated this hoax, Clapper, Andy McCabe, James Comy, and many

260
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: others have been hired by major networks in this room

261
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: to go on television and continue to spew these lies,

262
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 3: knowing that they are lies. And if you all recall

263
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: just flashback to twenty sixteen, in the years after the

264
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: entire Trump one presidency was embroiled in this scandal that

265
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 3: was perpetuated by the Democrat Party, and you had major

266
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 3: Democrat Party officials in this city, namely Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton,

267
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: Elizabeth Warren, who went on television and told the American

268
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 3: people Donald Trump is an asset of Russia.

269
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: It was a lie.

270
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 4: They always knew it.

271
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton her self said that President Trump would be

272
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 3: a puppet for Putin. Senator Tim Kaine at the time,

273
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 3: I've called President Trump Vladimir Putin's defense lawyer Adam Schiff stated,

274
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 3: and one of the worst things a lawmaker can do

275
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 3: is to tell the American people I know something you

276
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 3: don't know. It's just classified and I can't tell you.

277
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 3: And that's what he said. I can tell you that

278
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 3: the case is more than that. I can't go into

279
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 3: the particulars, but there is more than circumstantial evidence now,

280
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 3: and not enough people in this room, not enough journalists

281
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 3: in this country, pushed Adam Shift to say, what are

282
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 3: you talking about? What evidence do you have? Everybody just

283
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 3: ran with the lies, and it led to impeachments. It

284
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 3: led to the division of our country. Unfortunately, so many Americans,

285
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 3: from listening to outlets in this room, believed in these lies.

286
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 3: And it's a complete scam, and it's a scandal, and

287
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 3: the President wants to see accountability for that.

288
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 12: Phil thank you question for Director Gabbert, a suppokesperson for

289
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 12: former President Obama, said in the statement earlier this week.

290
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 12: Quote nothing that the documents issued last week undercuts the

291
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 12: widely accepted can conclusion that Russia worked to influence the

292
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 12: twenty sixteen election, but did not successfully manipulate any votes.

293
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 12: How do you respond to critics like former President Obama

294
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 12: and also others on the Hill who say that the

295
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 12: administration is conflating apples and orgies here, conflating allegations of

296
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 12: actual hacking of voter machines and allegations of interference.

297
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: Generally, I think it's a disservice to the American people

298
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: that former President Obama's office and others who are criticizing

299
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: the transparency that is being delivered by releasing these documents,

300
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: they are doing a disservice to the American people and

301
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: trying to deflect away from.

302
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 2: Their culpability in what is a historic.

303
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: Scandal and negative action towards the American people and our

304
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: democratic republic. The answer to that statement can very clearly

305
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: be found throughout all of the documents that we have released,

306
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: again showing that Russia has took action to try to

307
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: sow discord in the election, but showed no preference for

308
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: or against any singular candidate.

309
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 12: You've long been an opponent of weaponization in government. How

310
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 12: do you respond to criticism that referring Obama administration officials

311
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 12: and even potentially the former president is just more weaponization

312
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 12: and this is a potential race to the bottom.

313
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: I think that's a very disrespectful attack on the American

314
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: people who deserve the truth. They deserve to have faith

315
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: and trust in the integrity of our democratic republic, which

316
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: is under bent, which has been undermined by President Obama

317
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: through his direction of this manufactured, fake intelligence document, knowing

318
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: that it was filled with lies, and knowing that it

319
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 1: would and could then be used for all of the

320
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: actions that came after.

321
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 10: Carolyn and I.

322
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 3: Would just add, there needs to be accountability for that

323
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 3: weaponization phil that we've seen, and no one has been

324
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 3: a victim of the weaponized government more than President Trump,

325
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 3: not just because of this political scandal. You all recall

326
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 3: his house was rated, So I think you know, it's

327
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 3: very disingenuous for people to say, how dare they speak

328
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 3: of former President Obama about this based on evidence and

329
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 3: based on intelligence When the former President of the United States,

330
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's home was rated, when he was forced to

331
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 3: sit in a Manhattan courtroom and many other courtrooms across

332
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 3: the country for crimes he never committed, when he was

333
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 3: impeached and indicted, in the entire country witnessed that that's

334
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 3: the weaponization of justice. Now the president is back because

335
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: the American people see the truth. Nearly eighty million Americans

336
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 3: re elected him back to this office, and he believes

337
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 3: that we need to have justice and accountability. And I

338
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 3: think the nearly eighty million Americans who reelected him agree

339
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 3: with that.

340
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 4: Caitlin, Thank you, Carolyn.

341
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 5: Two questions for Dictor Gabbard, just on this, Doctor Gabbard,

342
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 5: you reference the past intelligence reports and assessments on this,

343
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 5: including that twenty seventeen one that was signed off as

344
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 5: ed noted by every Republican on the intelligence community, including

345
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 5: the acting chair of the time now Secretary of State,

346
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 5: Mark or Rubio, who said a statement that they did

347
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 5: not find any evidence of Russian collusion. But they did find, however,

348
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 5: is very troubling, and they found irrefutable evidence of Russian meddling. One,

349
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 5: are you saying that he's wrong in that statement that

350
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 5: he made then?

351
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 4: And secondly, what would you say.

352
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 5: To people who believe that you're only releasing these documents

353
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 5: now to improve your standing with the President after he

354
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 5: said that your intelligence assessment were wrong.

355
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: Well, first, I want to correct something that you stated,

356
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: which was citing the Senate Intelligence Committee's.

357
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: Report as being one and the same.

358
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: I think you said the intelligence community, the Senate Intelligence

359
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: Committee is a very different function than the Office of

360
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: the Director of National Intelligence. The evidence and the intelligence

361
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: that has been declassified and released is irrefutable. I'm going

362
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: to let Caroline speak to Secretary Rubio.

363
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 4: I'll speak to both questions.

364
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 3: First, on Secretary Rubio, he put out a statement in

365
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 3: twenty twenty following that Senate Intelligence Committee report and he

366
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 3: said what they found is troubling. We found irrefutable evidence

367
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 3: of Russian metal, which the Director of National Intelligence just

368
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 3: confirmed for all of you that Russia was trying to

369
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: sow distrust in chaos. But what's the outrage in this

370
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 3: that Secretary Rubio did not say at the time the

371
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 3: Democrats were saying at the time is the fact that

372
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 3: the intelligence community was concocting this narrative, that the president

373
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 3: colluded with the Russians, that the president's son was holding

374
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 3: secret meetings with the Russians, all of these lies that

375
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: were never true. And he also said at that time,

376
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 3: we discovered deeply troubling actions taken by the FBI under Komi,

377
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: particularly their acceptance and willingness to rely on the Steele

378
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 3: dossier without verifying its methodology or sourcing. The Steele dossier

379
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: that many outlets in this room ran as the gospel truth,

380
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 3: and it was cooked up and paid for by the

381
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 3: Clinton campaign. As for your second question, Caitlin, I think

382
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 3: who was saying that that she would release this to

383
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 3: try to boost her standing with the president, who has

384
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 3: said that, well, the President.

385
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 5: Has publicly undermined her when it came to Iran. He

386
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 5: said she was wrong. He told me that she.

387
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 4: Didn't know what she was talking about.

388
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 5: That was on Air Force one on camera.

389
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 3: The only people who are suggesting that the Director of

390
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 3: National Intelligence would release evidence to try to boost her

391
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 3: standing with the president are the people in this room,

392
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 3: who constantly try to sow distrust and chaos amongst the

393
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 3: President's cabinet, and it is not working. I have the attorney,

394
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 3: I am Wilbourg. I will just answer your question directly.

395
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 3: I am with the President of the United States every day.

396
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 3: He has the utmost confidence in Director Gabert. He always has,

397
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 3: he continues to and that is true of his entire cabinet,

398
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 3: who is all working as one team to deliver on

399
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 3: the promises this president made. Does anyone else have questions

400
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 3: for Director Gabert? And then we'll turn it over to

401
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 3: a couple other questions.

402
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 4: Christian, go ahead, Yeah.

403
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 13: Thank you, Director Gabbert. Two follow ups on questions that

404
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 13: I had been asked. You mentioned the previous D and

405
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 13: i's during the president's first term. One of them reports

406
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 13: to you right now. If I'm not a mistake in

407
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 13: John Ratcliffe, so have you not spoken to him about

408
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 13: why this information was not declassified during the first term.

409
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: He was in that position for a very short period

410
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: of time. The work that began then we have picked

411
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: up and absolutely completed. We are continuing to investigate this.

412
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: Additional whistleblowers are now coming forward because they see an

413
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 1: opportunity for the truth to come to light and as

414
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: Caroline said, for real accountability to be brought forward. The

415
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: accountability is the essential part of this. We can we

416
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: can show the truth, reveal the truth. The accountability needs

417
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: to occur to be able to start to restore that

418
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: trust in the integrity of our of our democracy.

419
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 13: And then just quickly, I know you said you the

420
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 13: charging to doj but the statute of limitations on conspiracy

421
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 13: is five years. So what else could they possibly pursue

422
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 13: besides treason?

423
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: I think that's a great question for Attorney General Pambondi.

424
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: We're providing all of the evidence, all of the intelligence

425
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: that we have both redacted and unredacted versions, referring it

426
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: to the Department of Justice and the FBI.

427
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 4: We'll take one more, Charlie.

428
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 9: Go ahead.

429
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 6: How credible was the information about Hillary clintments help from.

430
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 2: You said that it was from the and sourced from

431
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 2: the DNC.

432
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 8: Have you seen that information may be or was Do

433
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 8: you think that maybe Russia was overemphasizing.

434
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 14: What they had.

435
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: All I have seen is what the Intelligence Committee have

436
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: reported through their investigation. I think the underlying point there

437
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: is is that we understand from intelligence what Russia said

438
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: that they had. And the important point here is that

439
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: if they were trying to influence the election, as President

440
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: Obama and James Clapper and John Brennan, everybody said they

441
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: were doing, in order to support Donald Trump's election, they

442
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: would have released the most damning of that information, some

443
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: of which I detailed here you'll find the rest in

444
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: the report. Prior to the election to help Donald Trump win.

445
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: They specifically withheld what they had on her, the most

446
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: damning information, because they thought that she would win the election.

447
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: They had plans to release it just prior to her

448
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: inauguration to again so discord and chaos in America.

449
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 13: If i I'm Jeffrey Epstein, can you movele out that

450
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 13: he was connected in some way to any kind of intelligence,

451
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 13: either foreign or domestic.

452
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: I haven't seen any evidence or information that reflects that.

453
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: If anything comes before me that that changes that in

454
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: any way. Support the President's statement loud and clear that

455
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: any credible evidence comes forward, he wants the American people

456
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: to see it.

457
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 3: Great, Director Gabbard, we thank you, thank you today. I

458
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 3: know you're a busy woman, so we'll let you get

459
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 3: out of here, but thank you so much. Okay, I

460
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 3: know there's many issues going on today across the world

461
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 3: and here at home. If you have any other further questions,

462
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 3: I'm happy to take them.

463
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 11: Ed.

464
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 4: Why don't you go ahead?

465
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, Caroline.

466
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 8: So the Japan Trade deal is that Japan trade deal

467
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 8: the start of this number of trade deals get the

468
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 8: treasure effect trades We're going says, we're going to see

469
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 8: by all.

470
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 4: The course, I think it is.

471
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 3: I mean, as you said, we had Japan yesterday, we

472
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 3: also had Indonesia, and we had the Philippines as well.

473
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 3: The President announcing all three. He came in as the

474
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 3: closer in all three of those. I've said many times

475
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 3: from this podium that the President's trade team has been

476
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 3: in active talks and discussions with many countries around the world,

477
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 3: and you've all been anxiously awaiting what those countries were.

478
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 3: Now you know three of them, and there's many, many

479
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 3: more to go. We have now sent twenty five letters

480
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 3: to countries around the world.

481
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 4: But just to.

482
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 3: Reiterate this Japan deal for those at home who may

483
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 3: have missed it, Japan will now pay a fifteen percent

484
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 3: tariff versus the reciprocal rate of twenty four percent that

485
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 3: they initially had auto and auto parts tariffs have been

486
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 3: reduced to fifteen percent. But the centerpiece of this deal

487
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 3: now is the President got Japan to commit to five

488
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty billion dollars in investments to revitalize American industries.

489
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 3: And these funds will be spent at President Trump's discretion

490
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 3: and direction into key industries such as energy, semiconductors, critical minerals, pharmaceuticals,

491
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 3: in shipbuilding, and the US will retain ninety percent of

492
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 3: the profits from NY investments made by this five hundred

493
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 3: and fifty billion dollar fund. This was originally a four

494
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 3: hundred billion dollar investment that President Trump then negotiated to

495
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: an increase of one hundred and fifty billion, making it

496
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 3: a five hundred and fifty billion dollar deal for the

497
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 3: American people. And I just want to emphasize ed you

498
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 3: have a follow up, but it's very important. Japan has

499
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: agreed to open their markets to many very key sectors

500
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 3: in American made products that have really faced very strict

501
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 3: tariff and non tariff barriers prior. So thanks to the President,

502
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: Japan's markets will now be open to American made products

503
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: and goods. This is big news for our tech companies

504
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: and our farmers as well.

505
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: On Monday, the Treasury sector is going to Stockholm to

506
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: talk to the Chinese delegation.

507
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 2: What does the President hope to get out of that meeting?

508
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 12: Are there deliverables?

509
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 3: I won't speak to any deliverables or set expectations. I'll

510
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 3: let the Secretary of Treasury do that. But I did

511
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 3: speak to him yesterday about his upcoming trip, and he

512
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 3: looks forward to continuing discussions with his Chinese counterparts.

513
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 4: The President has ensured that we have a.

514
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 3: Good, continuing working relationship with China that benefits the United States,

515
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 3: and so the Secretary of Treasury will be obviously discussing

516
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 3: those key matters, but I'll let him set the expectations.

517
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: Given what the D and I just said and laid out.

518
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 13: Does President Trump believe that President Obama should go to

519
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 13: jail for something?

520
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 3: Look, the President believes that this matter needs to be

521
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 3: thoroughly investigated and anyone convicted of crime should be held

522
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 3: accountable in this country. Go ahead, overseas, Good to see you, Olivia.

523
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 4: I haven't seen you since the campaign.

524
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 3: Tron It's good to see you, he said it back overseas,

525
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 3: Can you give us a sense of what the margin

526
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: orders are to some of the people he'll be meeting with,

527
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 3: and specifically as it relates to Gaza and ongoing talks there. Yes,

528
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 3: Special Envoy wi Cooff is headed to Europe where he

529
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 3: will meet with key leaders from the Middle East to

530
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 3: discuss the ongoing ceasefire proposal to end this conflict in

531
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 3: Gaza and to release the hostages. These are very sensitive

532
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 3: negotiations that are currently taking place. I spoke to Special

533
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: On Boy Waitcoff last night about them. I will let

534
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 3: him speak further on the matter, but the President in

535
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: Special On Boy Witcoff, has made the administration's goals clear.

536
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 3: We want this cease fire to happen as soon as possible,

537
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 3: and we want these hostages to be released.

538
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 8: A Florida federal judges refused to allow the Epstein grandeury

539
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 8: materials to be released.

540
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: Does the President want the administration and Department of Justice

541
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: to appeal.

542
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 3: That ruining That was just breaking as the Director and

543
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 3: I were coming out here, so I haven't had a

544
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 3: chance to talk to the President about it. I understand

545
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 3: there are two other requests from the Department of Justice

546
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 3: that are ongoing, but I'll let this president speak to

547
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 3: whether he wants to see an appeal in the Department

548
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 3: of Justice.

549
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 4: I'm sure it can give you a statement on that

550
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 4: as well.

551
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 6: He supported the effort to talk to Gilid Maxwell.

552
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 15: You know that Todd Bland should mention that earlier this week.

553
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 3: The President spoke to this yesterday and he said he

554
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 3: thinks it's an appropriate idea, Kelly.

555
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 7: Is the accountability that you would like to see if discurrent.

556
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 8: President is the one who brought thecation to the Supreme Court?

557
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 7: And Chief Justice Roberts made clear in his opinion that

558
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 7: a sitting president's responsibilities in office cannot lead to prosecution immunity.

559
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 7: So what is it the President Trump wants regarding President Obama?

560
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 7: Given that fact and the Special Council at the time Durham,

561
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 7: when that Supreme Court matter was not in effect, could

562
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 7: have charged anyone and did not.

563
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 6: So on those two points.

564
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 4: How do you respond.

565
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 3: Look, the President has made it clear that he wanted

566
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 3: these documents to be declassified, he wanted the American people

567
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 3: to see the truth, and now he wants those who

568
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 3: perpetuated these lies in this scandal to be held accountable.

569
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 3: As for what accountability looks like, as the Director said,

570
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 3: it's in the Department of Justice's hands, and we trust

571
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 3: them to move this ball forward.

572
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 7: And Obama cannot be charged based on that immunity.

573
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 4: Again, I'll leave that to the Department of Justice, Stephanie.

574
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 16: Our sectoral tariffs now up for negotiation the training partners,

575
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 16: and in a similar note, are these negotiators asking for

576
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 16: investment funds sort of like what Japan had agreed to.

577
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 3: As for sectoral tariffs, I understand that the President continues

578
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 3: to be in talks with our Secretary of Commerce. We

579
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 3: have made commitments on various sectoral tariffs. As you know,

580
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 3: the Department of Commerce has initiated studies to then move

581
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 3: forward with implementing those sectoral tariffs, so I would defer

582
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 3: you to them for further comment.

583
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 10: Mereth, I wanted to ask if the White House has

584
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 10: any update on the Commerce Department employee.

585
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 4: Who's been detained and are.

586
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 11: Banned from exiting China, and if there are any efforts

587
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 11: to get them out.

588
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 3: I can assure you and the American people that the

589
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 3: administration is actively monitoring the situation and engaged, but typically

590
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 3: we don't comment on individual cases.

591
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 4: Like this as we are sorting them out.

592
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 3: Sure behind you, doctor Harper, sorry, go ahead to the

593
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 3: ladies sitting down in the blue.

594
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 4: What's your name? What's your name?

595
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 2: My name is Caroline.

596
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,959
Speaker 10: Also Caroline voting with the center square.

597
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 16: Great So, Republicans in the Senate today said that they

598
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 16: are pulling back on legislation to impose sanctions on Russia

599
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 16: after the President said he wants to act unilaterally. Can

600
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 16: you elaborate on what the president intends to do?

601
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 3: Look, the President has been in very close communication with

602
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 3: his friends in the Senate, particularly Senator Lindsay Graham, on

603
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 3: this issue. But the President has always maintained, you know,

604
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 3: he's the commander in chief and the president for a reason,

605
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 3: and he has been deeply involved in this conflict since

606
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 3: the beginning, and so any decisions that are made with

607
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 3: respect to sanctions, the President wants to reserve that authority

608
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 3: and that right to himself.

609
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 2: Thanks Caroline. Two questions for you.

610
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: The first on AI.

611
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 16: Does President Trump support federal agencies contracting with Elon Musk's

612
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 16: AI company?

613
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 4: I don't think so.

614
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 3: No, Ok, Well, he would have bought the DOJ to

615
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: then cancel the contract.

616
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 4: With law talk to him about it, yes, just you.

617
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: Know, obviously the development with the fem case with the judge.

618
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 11: But I wonder has the White House, White House Council,

619
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 11: the DOJ explored any other documents that could be released

620
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 11: to the public that don't have to.

621
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 2: Do with that grand jury testimony.

622
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 3: To my knowledge, the Department of Justice has moved forward

623
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 3: with the requests to unseal that grand jury testimony, and

624
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 3: as you know, they have also moved forward with interviewing

625
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 3: miss Maxwell, which I believe will be taking place very soon.

626
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 9: Sure, thanks Caroline.

627
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 17: I have a question about Paul and Garcia, the OSC

628
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 17: nominee who faces a Senate committee hearing tomorrow. Tom Tillis

629
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 17: said that he wouldn't vote for in Grascia if he

630
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 17: came to the If it vote came to the Senate floor,

631
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 17: two dozen worker advocacy groups have said that they would.

632
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 17: You know, they don't support his nomination. What is the

633
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 17: White House planning to do to sort of turn the

634
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 17: tide or convince legislators that they should vote for him.

635
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 3: The White House is always in communicat with members of

636
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 3: both the Senate and the House, and we stand by

637
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 3: the president's nominees.

638
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 2: Sure.

639
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 18: In connection with the Mueller investigation, a grand jury indict

640
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 18: at thirteen in Russians. President Putin has said he will

641
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 18: never extradite those men. Given the new information that Miss

642
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 18: gab has found. What's the administration's position on that case,

643
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 18: so those charges be dropped.

644
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 3: I don't have an update for you on that case,

645
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 3: but I'll check in with the National Security Council and

646
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 3: our team will get you something.

647
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 4: Sure.

648
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 19: Thank you so much so, Fanny Willison Jacksmith separately, they

649
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 19: both charge President Trump with conspiracy to defraud the United State.

650
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 19: It's a conspiracy to overturned twenty twenty election. And now

651
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 19: it turns out we're confirming that Obama and his cronies,

652
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 19: we're doing that the whole time in twenty sixteen on

653
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 19: a massive scale, falsifying documents and having their intel agencies

654
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 19: do this. What does this? What does this say about

655
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 19: the twenty twenty election? And also, yeah, what's your thoughts

656
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 19: on the irony here?

657
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 3: There is a lot of irony, especially for the party

658
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 3: of the Democrat Party, who claims to be for democracy.

659
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 3: We often heard throughout the twenty twenty four campaign they

660
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 3: were calling this president a threat to democracy.

661
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 4: And now I think the declassification.

662
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 3: Of all of these documents proves that they were indeed

663
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 3: the true threat to democracy, and as I said repeatedly today,

664
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 3: there needs to be justice and accountability for that. You

665
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 3: all will hear directly from the President later this afternoon

666
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 3: at the AI summit here in Washington, d C.

667
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 4: Scheduled to speak later in a few hours, so we

668
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 4: will see you all there. Thank you very much.

669
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 20: Oh wow, all right, folks, we just finished up that

670
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 20: absolute whirlwind press briefing there from the White House Caroline

671
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 20: Levitt as well as the Director of National Intelligence Tolsi Gabbert,

672
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 20: releasing these emails that talked about Hillary, her health, her

673
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 20: heavy tranquilizer use, the involvement of the Hillary campaign and

674
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 20: the highest levels of the White House directly to create

675
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 20: this fake Russia collusion hoped narrative. We have now Congresswoman

676
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 20: Anna Paulina Luna to react all of this and give

677
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 20: as an update on Epstein.

678
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 9: Let's toss to that.

679
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 20: All right, guys, we are here with an incredible congresswoman

680
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 20: who needs no introduction. Congressman Anna Paulina Luna. You were

681
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 20: there with us at the Turning Point Student Action Summit.

682
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 20: You promised us more was coming out, and let me

683
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 20: just be the first to thank you and give you

684
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 20: full credit for that, because we've heard that promise so

685
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 20: many times before, but you actually backed that up. Not

686
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 20: only are we seeing traction from the ag but this

687
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 20: massive release from the DNI's office, multi day release regarding

688
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 20: the twenty sixteen election. I've got to get your response

689
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 20: to everything from dn I Tulca Gabbard.

690
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 14: Yeah, so everything happening with Gabard. We were actually just

691
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 14: at the White House yesterday and President Trump had even

692
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 14: stated what TOOLSI has really found and been able to release.

693
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 14: So many questions among member of Congress, like, first and foremost,

694
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 14: why did his former ode and I person not release

695
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 14: this information. You're seeing really two separate administrations, even though

696
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 14: it's the same president, one that's actually following through and

697
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 14: delivering on what he wanted, which is full transparency for

698
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 14: the American people, and his previous administration that seems like

699
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 14: they were absolutely deep state puppets and working against the

700
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 14: President's agenda every step of the way, which, to be

701
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 14: honest with you, Tolsi, for releasing this information. Look, a

702
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 14: lot of people forget that these are also to the

703
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 14: same people that try to paint Tulci Gabbard as a

704
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 14: Russian asset. We all know that that's completely fake. But

705
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 14: the fact that she was able to release this information

706
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 14: not only does it give one hundred percent credibility to

707
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 14: President Trump. This is no longer a less wing spun

708
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 14: conspiracy theory. There's evidence to back it. I think that

709
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 14: there needs to be a rest and I actually am

710
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 14: doing all. I'm calling on the Department of Justice. You

711
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 14: arrest all the heads of these intel departments that actually

712
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 14: were responsible for putting out this false information. It's eighteen

713
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 14: US Code one zero zero one. If you falsify report

714
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 14: or make a false statement to Congress, it comes up

715
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 14: to a seven year prison sentens in two hundred and

716
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 14: fifty thousand dollars in fines. But I think it just

717
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 14: goes a lot deeper than that because you're also finding

718
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 14: in those same intelligence reports some stuff about Hillary Clinton

719
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 14: her health. They were trying to cover up for that,

720
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 14: and then obviously at the same time, they spent over

721
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 14: ten years really using this one lie and working against

722
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 14: the American people, undermining President Trump's administration. So right now

723
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 14: is the time to act. We can't wait. These people

724
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 14: need to be arrested. Any other person would be. We'd

725
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 14: be in jail for what they did, and so this

726
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 14: is really now on the DOJ, and I think that

727
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 14: Congress also too. If the DJ is not going to act,

728
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 14: which I don't think that that's going to be the case.

729
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 14: I think the DJ will ask. But in the event

730
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 14: that they don't and we are asking for information and

731
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 14: they do not produce, I will be the first to

732
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 14: call for an inherent content vote in Congress.

733
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 20: I mean, this is it's monumental. And I'll just say,

734
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 20: speaking of someone who worked in the intelligence community in

735
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 20: twenty sixteen, I had the opportunity to read the ICA

736
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 20: when it was put out. Obviously we didn't have this

737
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 20: level of detail as to the unpublished version of the ICA,

738
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 20: but I can just remember, even having read the classified

739
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 20: part of it in Congressome and Luna, it made no

740
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 20: sense whatsoever. I've never seen a product that looked like that.

741
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 20: I've never seen the intelligence community get so involved in

742
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 20: domestic political politics before. It's certainly something that I noticed

743
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 20: when I was there at the politicization and experience theization

744
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 20: of the intelligence services. And I've had I've had members

745
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 20: of the intelligence community, people that I served with, people

746
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 20: who are still serving now calling me all weekend saying

747
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 20: they can't believe that doors aren't getting kicked down because

748
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 20: of this behavior.

749
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 14: I mean, look, you're not wrong. I think that this

750
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 14: is really egregious. And it's even crazier to see that.

751
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 14: You know, the media took this and ran with it,

752
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 14: spun it, they smeared it. They literally use this to

753
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 14: violate people's constitutional rights. Again, the DJ has to act.

754
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,240
Speaker 14: If they don't act, then this is truly a lost country.

755
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 14: But I don't think that that's going to be the case.

756
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 14: I think that ag BONDI will act on this. I

757
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 14: think that there are good people at these intelligence agencies

758
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 14: now that will continue to come forward. And even TOLDCI

759
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 14: said that she actually was notified. People who had worked

760
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 14: under the Obama administration came forward because they were grossed

761
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,720
Speaker 14: out about how this had taken place with the blowers.

762
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 14: And so there's going to be more to come on this.

763
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 14: And you know, people get frustrated, they say, well, why

764
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 14: isn't Congress doing more? And you just have to remember

765
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 14: that Congress is a legislative authority. We are not the

766
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 14: judiciary authority. That's the DJ and the Department of Justice.

767
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 14: And so for us specifically, we can do the fact finding.

768
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 14: We can make referrals, but ultimately we are very limited

769
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 14: as far as punitive action. But I do think you know,

770
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 14: President Trump has stated this is a witch hunt from

771
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 14: day one. He was right on that, his supporters right

772
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 14: on that. I would say that because of what Obama

773
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 14: did was really the first fracture that you saw in

774
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 14: American politics between right and left and really destroying the

775
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 14: civility that we had for one another in regards to politics.

776
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 14: And so you know, he should be called to answer

777
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 14: for what he's done. And so we'll see what happens.

778
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 9: Now.

779
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 20: Flipping that a little bit, I know you've only got

780
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 20: a couple of minutes before you have to run. But

781
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 20: we talked, and you and I talked so much down

782
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 20: there at Turning Point the Student Action Summit down in

783
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 20: Tampa regarding the DOJ. Regarding Epstein, you've of course gone

784
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 20: public with the destruction of FBI material that took place

785
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 20: prior to President Trump taking office. We've seen a lot

786
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 20: of movement now Gleeen Maxwell, so many others. Where are

787
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 20: we on Epstein?

788
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 14: Well, I can tell you just yesterday a member of

789
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 14: Oversight made the motion to subpoena Galen Maxwell. And so

790
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 14: she'll be coming in to give deposition. That's something that

791
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 14: you know, how a subpoino typically were some people are like,

792
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 14: why isn't she coming in immediately, And it's because the

793
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 14: House is going into August recess now the Senate will

794
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 14: be here. But ultimately that motion was made shortly after

795
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 14: the Age actually announced that she also wanted to speak

796
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 14: to Glean Maxwell to see if she had any information

797
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 14: on third parties that they could basically bring charges against.

798
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 14: And so it's going to be interesting to see if

799
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 14: Gleen Maxwell can produce I also think so that for

800
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 14: Gleen Maxwell, she's trying to get a pardon, and I

801
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 14: don't think that she should get pardoned. I think that

802
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 14: she belongs in jail because of her sex trafficking crimes.

803
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 14: But you know, it doesn't mean that the American people

804
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 14: don't deserve to hear what she has to say. So

805
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 14: that's the first thing. Obviously, we want transparency. The second

806
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 14: thing is is that you're also saying that you know

807
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 14: there's a push to release information, and I think I

808
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 14: do believe that ag Bondie will be probably releasing files

809
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 14: pertaining to the investigations, et cetera. And I haven't changed

810
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 14: my stance on that. I still think that that's something

811
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 14: that you know, there's there's no reason to hold back

812
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 14: on that, and so I'm just continuous saying we should

813
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,280
Speaker 14: just be full total transparency how we did with JFK.

814
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 20: Well, I think that's right and also form just from

815
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 20: my perspective again having served in the IC and you know,

816
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 20: I wasn't a prosecutor, but I was at guantanam obey

817
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 20: and you know, people say to me, well, what if

818
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 20: if people aways used to ask us, well, how do

819
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 20: you know what they're saying is true?

820
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 9: How do you know they're not just lying to you?

821
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 20: And of course anyone who's locked up they've got information,

822
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 20: but they also have their motivations. So this, I think

823
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 20: is going to be something. And what steps do you

824
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 20: think that will be taken to verify any information that

825
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 20: she does put out testimony things like this, because of

826
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 20: course obviously she's got a lot of motive. A lot

827
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 20: of people think that she wants to cut a deal

828
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 20: with the DOJ.

829
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 14: Well, yeah, and that's that's exactly has been my kind

830
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 14: of voice from the beginning, like why did she choose? Now, remember,

831
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 14: if you even just look at a simple search on

832
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 14: x from the Democrat Party. They may not one mention

833
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 14: of Jeffrey Epstein when Joe Biden was office in office

834
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 14: literally the entire time. In fact, it was Democrat senator

835
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,879
Speaker 14: that went to block Marsha Blackburn's motion to actually get

836
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 14: Jeffrey Epstein's flight longs right. So that's the first thing.

837
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 14: The second thing is is that you know, according to

838
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 14: with the blower testimony, and I know that there's an

839
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 14: investigation into this right now or that it's actively being

840
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 14: looked into, is that it is very likely that evidence

841
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 14: was destroyed on the way out under the former deputy

842
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 14: director of the FBI's leadership. And so that's something that

843
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 14: they obviously and look, I'm not a forensic investigator, but

844
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 14: I would think that there'd be some way where they

845
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 14: would be able to tell whether or not there's a

846
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 14: been campering of evidence. But ultimately I think that that's

847
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 14: why the DOJ has said, look, credible information, absolutely release it.

848
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 14: That's something that the President has advocated for, as well

849
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 14: as unsealing those grand jury indictments, not just in divast

850
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 14: excuse in gradery testimony, which the American people should also see.

851
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 14: And then I would say literally anything pretending to be

852
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 14: the investigations as a whole, whether it's Jeffrey Epstein or

853
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 14: Glue Maxim, that should be all out there and searchable

854
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 14: for the American people.

855
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 20: And the fact you put what you're saying, put it

856
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 20: out there and make it searchable. I mean, I've said

857
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 20: this repeatedly, but you look at what the Director of

858
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,720
Speaker 20: National Intelligence, Tulsea Gabbert has done here. She doesn't overhype things,

859
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 20: she doesn't play up things that don't later pan out.

860
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 20: She waits, she bides her time, she says there's going

861
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 20: to be announcement, she makes the announcement, and then boom,

862
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 20: the release comes out. And by the way, Congressoman, I

863
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 20: have to say, that's exactly the same thing that you

864
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 20: have done in your various Tax Force releases that have

865
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 20: come out thus far.

866
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 9: And I just wanted to.

867
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 20: Say to you and both of you, we really appreciate

868
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 20: and our audience certainly appreciates the meticulous nature and the

869
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 20: serious nature that you take as pertains to these serious

870
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 20: investigations into actual crimes.

871
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 14: Thank you, Thank you. We appreciate that. And you're going

872
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 14: to see more to come. I can announce this now,

873
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 14: but we just got word also to just pretend to

874
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 14: the GfK investigation. A lot of people are like, why

875
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 14: does this matter, worle it matters because of what you're

876
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 14: seeing right now. Unchecked corruption and the intelligence agencies can

877
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 14: results in people getting killed, and it can result in

878
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 14: presidents getting killed. And you're seeing this literally it's kind

879
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 14: of weird because it's serendipitous timing that all of this

880
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 14: is flushing out two very different points in history, but

881
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 14: two very similar outcomes. And so we're working to get

882
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 14: at the facts. But we also were made aware that

883
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 14: the Russian government is going to be releasing their independent

884
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 14: investigation into Lee Harvey Oswald for the American people. Will

885
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 14: also helped kind of close any questions that they might

886
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 14: that they might have on the DFPA assassination. And that's

887
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 14: important because in the nineties the Assassination Review Board Trebb

888
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 14: hit him those files and that they were denied and

889
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 14: so we are now able to access them.

890
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 20: Wow, that's incredible. And this is something where you know,

891
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 20: it makes me think of sort of the you know,

892
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 20: East Berlin and East Germany when the Stazi, you know,

893
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 20: after the wall fell, they allowed people to go in

894
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 20: and Poland you're allowed to do this as well, and

895
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 20: go and look up your own file. But the Soviets

896
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 20: written large haven't always been willing to do so. Congresswoman

897
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 20: Anapaouline and Luna, I know you've got to run when

898
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 20: this all happens.

899
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 9: We've got to get you back on perfect.

900
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 14: Thanks Jack, We'll talk to God bless.

901
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 20: We'll talk very soon, folks. Converce Woman Anna Paulina Luna,

902
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 20: her word is as good as bond.

903
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 9: You can take that to the bank. We will be

904
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 9: right back here.

905
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 20: Human Events Daily, Real America's voice.

906
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 9: Do not touch that.

907
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 20: Dial or Roku or Amazon Fire or whatever the kids

908
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 20: have these days.

909
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 11: Right back.

910
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: Jack is a great guy.

911
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 8: He's written a fantastic look and everybody's talking about it.

912
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 12: Go get it.

913
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 19: And he's been my friend right.

914
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 11: From the beginning of this whole beautiful event.

915
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 19: And we're going to turn her around and make our.

916
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 9: Grecting ready to get him.

917
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 20: All right, Jack, So go back here.

918
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 9: Human Events Daily, Washington, DC.

919
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 20: Now, we were planning on having a longer conversation about

920
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 20: this today, but D and I came out and dropped

921
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 20: all this on us, so I have to deal with that.

922
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 20: But there was an inflection point over the weekend regarding

923
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 20: the bombing of a Catholic church which was damaged in

924
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 20: bombing in Gaza, And over the weekend there was this

925
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 20: huge firestorm online regarding this. Many Christians rallied around the

926
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 20: bombing of a church, and yet there was also some

927
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 20: controversy regarding it. So I wanted to get on doctor

928
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 20: Taylor Marshall here. He's got his incredible new book, Christian

929
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 20: Patriots that's coming out.

930
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 9: My mom read it.

931
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 20: She wrote the I think first review or full length

932
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 20: review of it up on Humanevents dot com. But doctor Marshall,

933
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 20: tell us, why was this church that was bombed or

934
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 20: you know, I will say damaged in a bombing because

935
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 20: you know they're saying it wasn't targeted. I personally, I

936
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 20: really hope that it wasn't actually targeted. Why did this

937
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 20: become such an inflection point online? Cardinal Petezabala, someone that

938
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 20: you and I have talked to, talked about many times,

939
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,959
Speaker 20: actually went there and performed the mass I think within

940
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 20: days after this bombing.

941
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 9: Why did this touch touch off so many people?

942
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 15: Well, it's not the first example of this. I believe

943
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 15: this is the fifth or sixth. Two women were actually

944
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 15: shot by idef allegedly snipers and they said that was

945
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 15: an accident as well. So there's been a number of accidents,

946
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 15: and I think people in the West and Christians in

947
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 15: the West are patient and they're gracious and they say, oh,

948
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 15: it's an accident. But when we see accident upon accident

949
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 15: upon accident and the front of a church is shot

950
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 15: and three people die, ten or injured, including the pastor,

951
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 15: it kind of got everybody vocal saying why do these

952
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 15: things keep accidentally happening because there's not many churches in Gaza.

953
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 9: I think there's three active churches in Gaza.

954
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 15: The Eastern Orthodox Church has been hit, the Catholic Church

955
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 15: has been hit, and people realize this isn't just a

956
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 15: place where people are worshiping. They're also taking refuge in

957
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 15: there because people have lost their homes or neighborhoods supplies. So, yeah,

958
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 15: people died, and people online on x social media they're saying, wait,

959
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:15,280
Speaker 15: is this just another accident? How can these accidents keep happening?

960
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 15: And then it kind of you said inflection point. You

961
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 15: know Joe Barry over at the Babylon b you know,

962
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 15: he had a tweet. I don't know if you have

963
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 15: it but in a sense he said, you know, these

964
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 15: I hate to say this, people aren't going to like it,

965
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:31,720
Speaker 15: but these people who are taking refuge in Holy Family,

966
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 15: Catholic Church and Gaza support Hamas, and boy, that just

967
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:41,359
Speaker 15: really blew the roof off, unintended for Christians all over

968
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 15: the world, saying, wait a second, these Christians had their

969
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 15: church shot, three died, ten injured, pastors injured, and you're saying, well,

970
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 15: you know, they're basically Hamas supporters, so wink wink. The

971
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 15: insinuation I read is they kind of have it coming.

972
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 15: They are a military target, and that's just completely unacceptable,

973
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 15: you know, from a political point of view and from

974
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 15: a from a Christian point of view that that someone

975
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 15: who represents a Christian organization like babyl Bonbe is going.

976
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 9: To cast shade like that.

977
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 15: And at the end of the day, I mean, Jack,

978
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 15: you're a Catholic, I'm a Catholic. We've kind of seen, unfortunately,

979
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 15: you know, parallel to this, the idea that well Catholics

980
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 15: and Eastern Orthodox aren't real Christians. And at the end

981
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 15: of the day, a lot of these dispensationalists will say, well,

982
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 15: a Jew in Israel is more Judeo Christian than a

983
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 15: Catholic or an Eastern Orthodox, and so unfortunately it's kind

984
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 15: of caused this division and people are drawing up lines

985
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 15: and it's very unfortunate.

986
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 9: Yeah.

987
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 20: I've remember seeing what this this a couple of years

988
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 20: back where there's some headline and it was one of

989
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 20: these these you know, sort of Christian but not really

990
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 20: very Christian magazines out there was on Twitter and they

991
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 20: said something about like they said something along the lines

992
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 20: of like like Christianity today or one of these types,

993
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 20: and they said something along the lines of, well, you know, we,

994
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 20: you know, we we have to carry on in the

995
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,800
Speaker 20: tradition of the Apostles because we don't have the churches

996
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:22,359
Speaker 20: that they founded still today. And then one of the

997
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 20: actual churches in Ephesus responded to them on on Twitter.

998
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 9: It said, nope, still here, still here, guys. I'm not sure,

999
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:32,879
Speaker 9: I'm not sure where you where you got that from.

1000
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 9: And and and it's just.

1001
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 20: A really really bad uh you know, it's it's.

1002
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 9: Just it's it's not just bad theology, it's bad history. Right.

1003
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,959
Speaker 20: There are Christian communities that have been there really since

1004
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,879
Speaker 20: the time of Christ, and that's what this all comes down.

1005
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 9: To Yeah.

1006
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 15: I mean we're talking about Christianity. The church is two

1007
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 15: thousand years old, and I think there's a lot of

1008
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 15: people who, like you said, they forget that, and so

1009
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 15: they don't have a visible unity, they don't have a

1010
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 15: visible manifestation in the.

1011
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 9: Kingdom of God.

1012
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 15: And so I think, you know, since the early nineteen hundreds,

1013
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,720
Speaker 15: mid nineteen hundreds, they look over there and they see

1014
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 15: a nation state called Israel, and they read their Old

1015
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 15: Testament and they're like, oh, this nation state started in

1016
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 15: nineteen forty eight is Israel from the Bible, and then

1017
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 15: they build an entire theology on that, and then you know,

1018
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 15: bad theology always leads to bad outcomes. And so at

1019
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 15: the end of the day, this is a theological discussion

1020
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 15: amongst Christians and who receives privilege and who does not

1021
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 15: receive privilege.

1022
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 20: And at the end of the day, people I'm happy

1023
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 20: to ask their discussion. But we're also talking about matters

1024
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 20: of war and peace. And when I see a church

1025
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 20: get bombed, I'm going to say, you know what you

1026
