Appreciate 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 2: all of you rolling with us as we are diving 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 2: into the biggest stories of the day and beyond probably, 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 2: but also it's going to have a lot of fun 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 2: with you as we break down everything going on in 8 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 2: the larger universe. And right off the top here, we 9 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 2: had a big conversation about this yesterday, the fact that 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 2: there was a leak to CNN and The New York 11 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: Times that suggested the attack on Saturday evening here in 12 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 2: the United States on Tehran was not actually effective, and 13 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 2: that has been pushed back on aggressively. And it started 14 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: really early this morning at eight am Eastern, when Pete 15 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: Hegseth came out and just went to town on the 16 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 2: press and the reporting surrounded this. Now, I want to 17 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: play some of these cuts because it was a pretty 18 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: intense press conference, but I'll start with a conversation that 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: we had yesterday, which was about the challenge the difficulty 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: of finding out who leaked this information, particularly as it 21 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: appears that it may well not have been accurate. So Buck, 22 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: you worked in the intelligence community when you saw this 23 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: report was leaked, did you think initially, hey, this is 24 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: kind of unheard of. Did it totally seem maybe not 25 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: a positive thing, but not an unexpected thing. And I 26 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: know we talked about this some yesterday, but what are 27 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: the difficulties that would be inherent in figuring out who 28 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: actually leaked to this because it is certainly classified information. 29 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 3: Well, the fact that somebody would take this to the 30 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 3: press so early on in the process and that it 31 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 3: was already known to be a low confidence assessment just 32 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 3: means somebody wanted to blunt the narrative of Trump is 33 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 3: just kicking ass and making excellent decisions as commander in chief. 34 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 4: And this war those who said, it's not even a war, 35 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 4: it's a military strike, okay, you know, think of all 36 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 4: the countries that we have had military operations in that 37 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 4: we would not consider ourselves to be at war or 38 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 4: in the midst of a war. 39 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 5: But Clay, this was meant to. 40 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 3: Have a political ramification, because if you wanted this to 41 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 3: have US national security in mind, if you wanted to 42 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 3: be somebody said, hey, guys, hey, I'm worried about the reactors. 43 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 3: I'm worried that there could still be a lot more here. 44 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: We didn't get enough. What you would want is to 45 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 3: wait until you pull together all of the best sources, 46 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: get it rock solid, and then work its way up 47 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 3: the chain through the CIA director or the DiiA director 48 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 3: in this case, and then at that point you know 49 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 3: you would have done your due diligence. This wasn't a 50 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 3: due diligence moment. This was somebody who decided I'm going 51 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 3: to be the one who reigns on Trump's parade. Here, 52 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 3: this was an individual. This was a deep stater. This 53 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: is someone who did not have the interests of the 54 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 3: United States in mind, but the interests of a very 55 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 3: bitter and weak and feckless looking Democrat machine in mind, 56 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: and hope to take away some of the sense of 57 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 3: a bulliance and some of the congratulations that have been 58 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 3: going around, not just for Trump's decision, but for the 59 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: men and women who flew the airstrikes themselves, for the 60 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: Pentagon pulling this off, the intelligence community for having these 61 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: sites mapped out play. It's a big win. But this 62 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: would to me, this is a bit like saying somebody 63 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: from within the intelligence community after the bin laden raid 64 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 3: is raising concerns that there was really, you know, no 65 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 3: document exploitation that came out of that raid, or maybe 66 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 3: that we didn't even get bin laden. So why would 67 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 3: you do that. You would only do that if you 68 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: were trying to hurt Now, of course that didn't happen 69 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 3: because somehow our team doesn't do those kinds of leaks. 70 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: That's always a Democrat, left wing thing when there's a 71 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 3: leak of classified to hurt a commander in chief. 72 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 5: But that's what this was. 73 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 3: It's very clear there's no way that this person could 74 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 3: have had the level of visibility necessary to with a 75 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 3: Remember it's a low confidence assessment. Clay I was in 76 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 3: the room many times with people from d IA, CIA, NSA, 77 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: go down the list all of them, and there were 78 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 3: squabbling over who's right about very important and we were 79 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 3: at war, right, we were in the midst of a war, 80 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 3: and you know things like, hey, could a surge in 81 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 3: Baghdad work to stabilize things? Let me tell you something, 82 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: a lot of fighting and dissenting voices over that. The 83 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 3: notion that one person has the keys to the kingdom 84 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 3: on the damage assessment is absurd. It's just a political hit, 85 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: and that's why they should go after the leaker. 86 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 2: All right, so let me play some of these cuts. 87 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 2: This was from the Pentagon earlier today. Secretary of Defense 88 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 2: Pete Hutt Hegseth. I do give a lot of credit. 89 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: We've talked about this on the program. They made everybody 90 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: get there early eight am Eastern time start for this 91 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: to dominate the news cycle for the day. Here's hegseet 92 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: blasting the press in particular for these leaks. 93 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: This is cut too. 94 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 6: Because you, and I mean specifically you, the press, specifically 95 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 6: you the press corps, because you cheer against Trump so hard. 96 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 6: It's like in your DNA and in your blood to 97 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 6: cheer against Trump because you want him not to be 98 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 6: successful so bad. You have to cheer against the efficacy 99 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 6: of these strikes. You have to hope maybe they weren't effective, 100 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 6: Maybe the way the Trump administration is representative isn't true. 101 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: So let's take half. 102 00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 7: Truths, spun information, leaked information, and then spin it, spin 103 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 7: it in every way we can to try to cause 104 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 7: doubt and manipulate. 105 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 6: The mind, the public mind over whether or not our 106 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 6: brave pilots were successful. How many stories have been written 107 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 6: about how hard it is to I don't know fly 108 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 6: a plane for thirty six hours. Has MSNBC done that 109 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 6: story as Fox? Have we done the story how hard 110 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 6: that is? Have we done it two or three times 111 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 6: so that American people understand, How about how difficult it 112 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 6: is to shoot a drone from an F fifteen or 113 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 6: sixteen or F twenty two or F thirty five, or 114 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 6: what it's like to man a Patriot battery, or how 115 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 6: hard it is to refuel mid air. Giving the American 116 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 6: people an understanding of how complex and sophisticated this mission 117 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 6: really was. There are so many aspects of what our 118 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,799 Speaker 6: brave men and women did that because of the hatred 119 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 6: of this press, corps are undermined because your people are 120 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 6: trying to leak and spin that it wasn't successful. 121 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 5: It's your sponsors. 122 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: Okay, so that's one. Let's continue. 123 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 2: This sounds a little bit like Fox and Friends or 124 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 2: a hit that Pete Hegseth is doing on Fox News. 125 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 2: And it's one reason I think that Trump wanted him 126 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: in this position because he is a very talented communicator, 127 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: and that matters in this world where you are really 128 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: having to lace on the gloves and go head to 129 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 2: head with the press every single day. Here's cut three 130 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 2: more on Hegseth saying, the classified information, as you said, Buck, 131 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: is leaked to try and harm Trump cut three. 132 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 5: Time and time again. 133 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 6: Classified information is leaked or pedaled for political purposes, to 134 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 6: try to make the president look bad. And what's really 135 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 6: happening is you're undermining the success of incredible B two 136 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 6: pilots and incredible F thirty five pilots, and incredible refuelers 137 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 6: and incredible air defenders who accomplish their mission set back 138 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 6: a nuclear program in ways that other presidents would have dreamed. 139 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: How about we celebrate that. 140 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 6: How about we talked about how special America is that 141 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 6: we only we have these capabilities. 142 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: I think it's too much to ask. 143 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 5: Unfortunately for the fake news, so we're used. 144 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 6: To that, but we also have an oportunity to stand 145 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 6: at the podium and read the truth of what's really happening. 146 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 5: And the reality is. 147 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 6: You want to call it destroyed, you want to call 148 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 6: it defeated, you want to call it obliterated. 149 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 5: Choose your word. 150 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 6: This was an historically successful attack and we should celebrate 151 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 6: it as Americans. And it gives us a chance to 152 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 6: have peace, chance to have a deal, and an opportunity 153 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 6: to prevent a nuclear Iran, which is something President Trump 154 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 6: talked about for twenty years. 155 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 2: I mean guns blazing here. I don't think we mentioned 156 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 2: the New York Times getting upset about the fact that 157 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: heg Seth praised our boys, and so he was actually asked, 158 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 2: we have this cut. And I couldn't believe he was 159 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 2: actually asked, why not acknowledge female pilots that participated instead 160 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 2: of congratulating the boys? 161 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: This is cut for why not. 162 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 8: Acknowledge the female pilots that also participated in this mission. 163 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 6: The early messages that you sent out only congratulated the boys. 164 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 6: So when I say something like our boys and bombers, see, 165 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 6: this is the kind of thing the press does. 166 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 8: Right. 167 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 6: Of course, the chairman mentioned a female bomber pilot. That's fantastic. 168 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 6: She's fantastic, She's a hero. I want more female bomber pilots. 169 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 6: I hope the men and women of our country sign 170 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 6: up to do such brave and audacious things. But when 171 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 6: you spin it as because I say our boys and 172 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 6: bombers is a common phrase, I'll keep saying things like that, 173 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 6: whether they're men or women. Very proud of that female pilot, 174 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 6: just like I'm very proud of those male pilots, and 175 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 6: I don't care if it's a male or a female 176 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 6: in that cockpit, and the American people don't care. But 177 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:40,119 Speaker 6: it's the obsession with race and gender in this department 178 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 6: that's changed priorities. And we don't do that anymore. We 179 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 6: don't play your little games. 180 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 5: I love this. 181 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 2: I mean, I hopefully that's a real question he got 182 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 2: to ask. But it's good that we see that. 183 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 3: This is what the press still pretends is their job, 184 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 3: right is to push They're just asking questions. We'll get 185 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 3: to Jake Tapper's latest on that. Really they're always pushing 186 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 3: an agenda. No one thinks that Pete Hegseth was undermining 187 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 3: any woman who This is a bit like saying, hey, 188 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 3: when you when you were talking, you said, hey, you guys, 189 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 3: great job. Why didn't you say you guys and girls? 190 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 3: I mean, it's absurd, it's it's childish, it's it's focused 191 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 3: on nothing. But I also think that what the shows 192 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 3: you play is in these you know, the media, the 193 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 3: non Fox media and the Democrat media, the non aligned 194 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: leftist media. They have been making a lot of jokes 195 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,479 Speaker 3: about how Fox News essentially has staffed this Trump administration. 196 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 3: And what's interesting is, yeah, guess what. Now you've got 197 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 3: people who are both qualified to do the job, people 198 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 3: like Dan Bongino and and Hegseth and others who are 199 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: also really good at media and comms themselves. Yes, and 200 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 3: so if you think back to other times, we've had 201 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 3: people who are running, you know, Department of Defense, We've 202 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 3: had people who were in these kinds of cabinet level position, 203 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 3: Secretary of Say, look look at Secretary of Say Rubio. 204 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 3: I mean that guy might as well have been a 205 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 3: Fox contributor for the last decade. He's been on Fox, 206 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 3: you know, as much as anybody. They're good at this, 207 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 3: and so the ability that the media has to attack them, 208 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 3: trip them up, undermine them, and then focus on that 209 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 3: instead of what's actually happening is vastly diminished. I mean 210 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 3: it's almost non existent at this point. 211 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 2: Can you imagine being a Pentagon news reporter and we 212 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: just had the strike that we did on Iran and 213 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 2: you get a limited amount of time to ask questions 214 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 2: and a limited amount of things that you can even 215 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 2: ask about because they're only going to be whatever it is. 216 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: Five six seven people called on that. That would be 217 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: the thing that you went in as a Pentagon reporter 218 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 2: to focus on was the fact that one female was 219 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 2: there and said when the when he said the boys 220 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 2: in the planes or whatever the heck used to be, 221 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 2: that that would be your focus. 222 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: It even is stunning to me. 223 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 3: Still this all makes sense, though, because their job. If 224 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 3: you work for the Washington Post and you're in the 225 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 3: Pentagon briefing room, or work for the New York Times 226 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 3: and you're in the White House, the only way you're 227 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 3: going to get any attention and that your readership, which 228 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 3: is hyper partisan, is going to like your reporting is 229 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 3: if you manage to attack successfully, get them to stumble, 230 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 3: get to pull some sound bite. 231 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 5: They don't actually care about the information. 232 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 3: They don't They're not there to ask relevant, reasonable questions 233 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 3: and get back objective data for the American people. They 234 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 3: are there to be partisan attack dogs, and so if 235 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 3: they don't do that, they're not actually serving the purposes 236 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 3: of their paper. 237 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 2: I get the part as an attack dog thing, but 238 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 2: to think that your audience is obsessed because he used 239 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 2: the word boys and did you see. 240 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 5: Who asked that question? Did you see who asked that question? 241 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 3: She's been wagging her finger at people for saying you 242 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 3: guys for the last twenty years, I guarantee you. 243 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: I just I can't believe that that is real. 244 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 2: And by the way, the New York Times got savaged 245 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 2: in their live chat because they had a male reporter 246 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 2: who said, in real time, Hey, well, actually you know 247 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 2: there was a girl. First of all, when the idea 248 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 2: that boys and girls or guys or we all understand 249 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 2: the concept, I mean, I imagine it comes from the 250 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 2: boys in the bombers is also a phrase boys in 251 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 2: the boat, which was one of the best selling books, 252 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 2: A great book by the way. But is there are 253 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 2: there any women that were actually offended by that? I 254 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: just the fact that that would be a question that's 255 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 2: asked of the Secretary of Defense in a limited public 256 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 2: availability situation where he doesn't answer a lot of questions, 257 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 2: is actually even for left wing media, I think a 258 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 2: huge embarrassment for them. Look heads up, everybody, Another massive 259 00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: data breach has happened. Sixteen billion, team billion.

This is a 279 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 3: problem that has bedeviled the American body politic and really 280 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: the international community such as it exists, or at least 281 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 3: the Western world and our allies in Israel for a 282 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 3: long time, and it has been, if not solved, it 283 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 3: has certainly been made a whole lot better, but there 284 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 3: are people who don't want to see it that way, 285 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 3: and there are people who also want to find every 286 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 3: excuse to try to attack and undermine this administration on 287 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 3: this issue. This is a talkback listener Marie. She's a 288 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 3: former military pilot. This is what she thinks about the 289 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 3: nitpicking that was going on play BB. 290 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 8: As a former military officer and a pilot. I actually 291 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 8: don't care if they say the boys in the cockpit, 292 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 8: and I'm actually glad we're saying cockpit again and not 293 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 8: the box. This is Marie from Florida. Have a great day, guys, 294 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 8: love your show. 295 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 5: Thank you, Mary, We love it you listen. She's totally spotting. 296 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: Indeed, I forgot that they were trying to do away 297 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 2: with the phrase cockpit because they decided that it was 298 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 2: too gendered, which is very funny in and of itself. 299 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 2: But I I just my expectations for media in press. 300 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 2: Cocks are very low. 301 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 5: They mascot the game cocks. 302 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, South Carolina game cocks. Yeah, cocky, cocky, the 303 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: game cock is South Carolina game coy. Look at you 304 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 2: on the sports mascot recall. You know what I'm saying, 305 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 2: I'm learning. 306 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 3: I'm learning as I go here because I've seen hats 307 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 3: where people wear them and I realized, oh, that's what 308 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 3: they're referring to South Carolina, the mascot. So there we go. 309 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 3: But yes, I don't think this is also Clay. The 310 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 3: people who actually do this stuff, It's so funny. This 311 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 3: is true across a wide range of things. The people 312 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 3: who are the one on the front lines, whether it's 313 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 3: military or just whatever it is, they don't have the 314 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 3: time to get into this kind of stuff. 315 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: It's always other. 316 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 5: People on their behalf whinding about it. You know. 317 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 3: I do not think any woman in the military who 318 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 3: actually flies in combat missions. 319 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 5: Luke Pete, Secretary Defense, did great job. Guys. 320 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 3: I'm upset now, and quite honestly, if anyone did feel 321 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 3: that way, I would question their fitness to continue to 322 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 3: be in high stress, demanding roles. 323 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 5: You should be more focused on other stuff. 324 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: I do agree with Pete. 325 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 2: Hegseth though, that because I shared one story from the 326 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 2: New York Post about how incredible the fact that these 327 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 2: guys and the gal. When I say guys, by the way, 328 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 2: I mean guys and gals. I don't want to get 329 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 2: to fact checked here. They were in the plane for 330 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 2: thirty six straight hours, they refueled in the air. It 331 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 2: is a pretty incredible accomplishment that hasn't been talked about 332 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 2: enough what they were able to do. 333 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: When I first came across the story, I thought, this 334 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 3: is one you need to hear. We'll see why in 335 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 3: a moment. For over one hundred and sixty years, a 336 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty trillion with a T dollar asset 337 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 3: has been buried under American soil. This is a wild speculation, 338 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 3: it's documented fact. This endowment, so to speak, is so 339 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 3: large it could pay off our national debt four times over. 340 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 3: But why has it been kept secret for so long? 341 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 3: The answer will make your head spin. But thanks to 342 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 3: Supreme Court decision that Trump administration could soon release that 343 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 3: endowment to the public. Jim Rickards, former advisor of the 344 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 3: White House in Federal Reserve, says, if you're over fifty, 345 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 3: this could be your best chance to build lasting wealth 346 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 3: from a once in a century event. It's a big statement. 347 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 3: To hear more of what Jim has to say, go 348 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 3: online to birthright twenty twenty five dot com. Now, if 349 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 3: he's right, it could make President Trump the most popular 350 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 3: president in history and help millions of investors retire wealthy. 351 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 3: Go to Birthright twenty twenty five dot com to get 352 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 3: the details free of charge, paid for by Paradigm Press 353 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 3: talking about this off the air. 354 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 2: But Pete Hexset only has one person that he has 355 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 2: to be concerned about. And Donald Trump loved, loved that 356 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: press conference with every fiber of his being, and so 357 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 2: it is not a surprise that that would have registered 358 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 2: well with Trump. 359 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: But did you see this morning? 360 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 2: I was up early, Buck, and one of the first 361 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 2: things I saw was that the Supreme Leader of Iran 362 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 2: Is is sharing tweets about how they won the war. 363 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: Did you do you saw these tweets? 364 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 3: Oh, I think he's going to get a contract at 365 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 3: MSNBC any moment. 366 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 2: I saw that line, very good line. Do you know 367 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 2: our buddy Keith Oberman, formerly maybe the most influential person 368 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 2: on the left on television in America, shared those four 369 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 2: tweets uncritical and said Trump is being dishonest. 370 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: He now is more likely. 371 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 2: This is this is where Trump derangement syndrome really leads 372 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 2: you that you are looking at the Ayatola Komens tweets 373 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 2: and you are considering them to be more accurate than 374 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 2: you are what Donald Trump is saying, because that is 375 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 2: what Keith Olberman, he of the totally broken Brain, has done, 376 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 2: and it led me into the thought process because we 377 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 2: were talking about the intelligence leak. What percentage of people 378 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 2: that are in the intelligence community do you think are 379 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 2: rooting for Donald Trump to be successful? Because in an 380 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: ideal world, you should want in the intelligence community, I 381 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 2: would think for the President of the United States to 382 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 2: be supremely successful because it means the country is doing well. 383 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 2: And if you're in the intelligence community, ostensibly you are 384 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 2: rooting for the country to be doing better. You're putting 385 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 2: your labor towards it happening. How broken do you think 386 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 2: the intelligence community is? Would fifty percent of people be 387 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 2: rooting for Trump to fail just because even though it 388 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 2: would theoretically hurt their their ability to do good job? 389 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 6: Like? 390 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: How broken? 391 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 5: Internally? 392 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 3: Do you think you'd have to slice? You'd have to 393 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 3: slice this pie pretty uh, with pretty clear specificity. I 394 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 3: think to try to get a general sense of it, 395 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 3: and here's how I could do it for you. So 396 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 3: in tons community is huge. I think it's seventeen agencies now. 397 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 3: When I was in it was sixteen. I think they've 398 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 3: added one or I can't, And people say you were in. 399 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 3: Can I name them all off the top of my head? 400 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 3: If I wrote them out, I probably could. You know, 401 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 3: obviously the big ones I could rattle off. But you 402 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 3: know there's like National Geospatial Intelligence Agency there. 403 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 5: You know, there's there's stuff. You know, there's State Department. 404 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 2: Roll back into my head even thinking about all these governments, 405 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 2: there's State Department. 406 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 3: I in R, Intelligence and Research, which is what I mean. 407 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 3: There's all this like it really is. You know, you 408 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 3: got I get really deep into the bowels of this thing. Okay, 409 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 3: you're asking, though, what percent of the intel community supports Trump? 410 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 3: The first big cleavage, if you will, is. 411 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: Got my attention. 412 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, I was gonna say, Clay perked up. I 413 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 3: mean separation. The first big separation is between military and civilian, 414 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 3: meaning that if you're looking at places like DIA, and 415 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 3: then you look within even places like CIA and and others, 416 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 3: there are a lot you know NSA, there are a 417 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 3: lot of active duty mill and active duty military people 418 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 3: are about sixty forty pro Trump, sixty forty percent Democrat overall. Now, 419 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 3: when you hone that down into war fighters, infantry, special operations, 420 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 3: it gets a lot more like eighty twenty ninety ten. 421 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 3: But the big mill, big military, you're looking at something 422 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 3: like sixty forty. And then within these so separate that out. 423 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 3: So if you're in a place like DA, yeah, I 424 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 3: would think that you'd probably have a little better than 425 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 3: sixty forty overall support for Trump there, just in a 426 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 3: general sense, but I think that ten to twenty percent 427 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 3: of the people working there really hate Trump and really 428 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 3: would want to subvert Trump in some way. 429 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 5: I think it's higher at. 430 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 3: The CIA because it's a civilian agency, and it's really 431 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 3: a lot higher when you get into the analyst cadre, 432 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 3: not the case officers, not the paramilitary, but you get 433 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 3: into the analyst cadre, which I was a part of. 434 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 3: And although when I was first coming in, they're like, 435 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,239 Speaker 3: you should be a case officer, like you're very you know, 436 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 3: you're smooth with people, and I was like, no, I'm 437 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 3: a nerd. 438 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 5: I am. 439 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 3: I am going to be wearing a jacket with tweed 440 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 3: and with the elbow patches. 441 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 2: And this is like my argument that we're good looking 442 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 2: for radio guys. I would imagine, Yeah, this is the 443 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 2: standard that is quite inside the intelligence community. Being good 444 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 2: with people is a very broad, broad university category for. 445 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 3: See for the average CIA. I think I was probably 446 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 3: pretty suave. It doesn't mean I'm swave in the general sense. Yes, 447 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 3: it's kind of like we are Clay and I are 448 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 3: basically bikini models of the radio world, which again is 449 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 3: not saying that we are you know, yes. 450 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 2: For for sports press box status, I might as well 451 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 2: be fabio. 452 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 3: It is the of the I saw it and I 453 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 3: was at I was taking it. I was like, wow, Wow, 454 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 3: it's quite a scene in here. 455 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 2: And look, I mean, for people who cover sports, a 456 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 2: lot of them look like they haven't ever seen the 457 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 2: sun in like in like eight years. 458 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: You know, it is a very pallid room. The good 459 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: news is. 460 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 3: That they look like they watch a lot of sports 461 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 3: and don't do anything else. Uh However, back to a 462 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 3: intel and the deep state component of this, so I 463 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 3: think that it's really hard to get a uh a, 464 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 3: you know, a percentage that would be accurate because people 465 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 3: obviously aren't filling out surveys and sharing this. So I'm 466 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 3: just giving you a snapshot of what I know of 467 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 3: the cultures of these different places, and it's been a 468 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 3: while since I've been in So that's basic based in 469 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 3: large part on how it has always been. And then 470 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 3: what I know from friend of mine who are still there. 471 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 3: And this is part of the challenge of trying to 472 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 3: clean it up, is it's not like it's a little 473 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 3: bit like dealing with an insurgency. Yeah, it'd be a 474 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 3: lot easier if they wore uniforms and said, we're the 475 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,719 Speaker 3: bad guys. We're trying to you know, shoot at your 476 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 3: people when they're driving through the streets, shoot at your soldiers. No, 477 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 3: they say we're not, We're good, we're civilians. We didn't 478 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 3: do anything. And the deep state right now is certainly 479 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 3: in a period of, if not remission, something, you know, 480 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 3: a bit of hiding. And I think that's where you 481 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 3: get most of the challenge and trying to root them out. 482 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 3: The leak that came out, though, I mean, that's somebody 483 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 3: who thinks that he is doing some or he or 484 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 3: she is doing some great service. You remember there was 485 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 3: that leak, wasn't it the first Trump administration? And the 486 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 3: name was the name of the woman was crazy Reality Winner. 487 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Reality Winner. She was an NSA translator. And 488 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 3: I'm trying to remember the year twenty twenty one. Anyway, 489 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 3: whatever the point is, she came out and she shared 490 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 3: she gave some top secret document to a website and 491 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 3: she end up going to prison for a long time 492 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 3: for it, and she didn't accomplish anything by it, and 493 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 3: people wanted to call her a whistleblower. And it's just like, 494 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 3: don't do that, don't do this thing, don't betray your oath, 495 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 3: don't break the law. Not smart, And so you have 496 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 3: to be really ideologically kind of a radical clay. 497 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 5: Think about this. 498 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 3: You're risking prison time. You're risking prison time because you 499 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 3: think you can help shift the conversation. You've got to 500 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 3: be a little delusional to believe that. 501 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 2: And also you have to on some level be rooting 502 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 2: against your own country, right, because I think I'm old 503 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 2: fashioned in this sense probably, but I would like to 504 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,959 Speaker 2: think that if you are a government employee, irrespective of 505 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 2: whether it's a Democrat or Republican, that you want the 506 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 2: president to have success because having success probably means less 507 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 2: American troops are going to die, more world peace, peace 508 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 2: people make more money. Right, I mean, like just the 509 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 2: basic things before you get into the policy that helps 510 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 2: to make that happen, and I am not at all 511 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 2: surprised that the leak came out when it did. And 512 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 2: it just feels to me so toxic, and I think 513 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 2: that's why heckseth and I give them credit. Man, these 514 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 2: early morning press conferences, it's a little bit like making 515 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 2: the media run, because you know when you would do 516 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 2: a bad job and a team and your coach would 517 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 2: be like, all right, get on the line. You're gonna 518 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 2: run today. When you make the media get there at 519 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 2: eight am, they hate it. They have to be up 520 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 2: at six am. They got a rush. 521 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 3: And do you control you still as a coach? Do 522 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,719 Speaker 3: you still call that running? We used to call it 523 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 3: when I was playing sports, running suicides. I feel like 524 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 3: that's probably is that still what it said or is it. 525 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 5: Now running sides? 526 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, probably still called suicides. I mean, I don't think 527 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,959 Speaker 2: people are like, hey, we want you to kill yourself 528 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: at the end of these right, But I'm just saying 529 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 2: people are very sensitive about the words now. So you know, kids, 530 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 2: I feel like if you're at a school and you 531 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 2: tell if you're a coach and you blow the whistle, 532 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 2: you're like, hey, everybody on the line, we're running suicides. 533 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 2: Like how dare They replaced disabled list with injured list 534 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 2: I believe in baseball because it was offensive. 535 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 1: And this is the craziest one. 536 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 2: They replaced the word owner in the NBA with governor 537 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 2: because owner, they said, sounded too much. 538 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: Like it might be slavery. 539 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 5: I did not know that. That is truly nuts. 540 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 2: They called the owners of NBA franchises governors now because 541 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 2: some players complained and said, owner makes it sound like 542 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 2: you actually own us, and it like connotes slavery. And 543 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 2: so the NBA was like, you know what, morons, You're right, 544 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 2: let's change it to governors. So now it sounds like 545 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 2: you're some sort of you know, British British like head 546 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,479 Speaker 2: of a head of company. 547 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 3: Because of words, speaking of words that are used the 548 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 3: best words, some people use the best words of all words. 549 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 3: This was referring to the NATO summit that Trump was 550 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 3: a part of. Sky News reporter asked Trump about the 551 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 3: NATO chief calling him daddy. 552 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 5: This has cut one play it, Mark writter. 553 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: The NATO chief, who is your friend? 554 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 5: He called you daddy earlier? 555 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 7: Do you regard your NATO allies as kind of children? 556 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 5: No, he likes me. I think he likes me. 557 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: If he doesn't, I'll let you know. I'll come back 558 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: and I'll. 559 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 5: Hit him hard.

Daddy here, my daddy. 561 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 5: Trump. 562 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I think Trump could have very easily, Yes, 563 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 2: Trump could have very easily said yes, America is the 564 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 2: dad of Europe. Were bigger, badder, bolder than all of you. 565 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 2: And so if you had to give us a familiar 566 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 2: familial name, it would be America's Europe's daddy, which would 567 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 2: have been very funny too. 568 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 3: They mean, if Russian tanks did start rolling into the 569 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 3: Baltics or start rolling into you know, Poland, what would 570 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 3: be I mean, the first call from pretty much everybody 571 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 3: in Europe, from all the prime ministers, presidents, etc. 572 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 8: Et. 573 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 5: Donald Trump. That's a fact. 574 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 3: They'd be like Trump, run to Trump right away and 575 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 3: then then run to our military. So and Trump's trying 576 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 3: to prevent that, which is why he wants them to 577 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 3: be able to provide for their own security. 578 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 5: Think about that, by the way. You know a lot 579 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 5: of people like we could. 580 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 3: Have socialism is great, and look at these countries in 581 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 3: Europe and actually they're not socialist countries. Their countries with 582 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 3: high taxation, large welfare states, but they don't have government 583 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 3: control of industry. Even places like Denmark, for example, have 584 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 3: very free markets. It's just a question of how they 585 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 3: tax and how they spend, but it's actually not government 586 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 3: control of industry. 587 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 5: Which is really what you have in classical socialism. 588 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 3: Putting that aside for a second, it's also a lot 589 00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 3: easier to have free you know, to spend money on. 590 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 5: Health in the UK. The healthcare is trash, by the way, 591 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 5: especially the dentistry.

And early on I 670 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 2: was like, look, I'm not going to just signal you 671 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 2: out every time and say boys and you know girl name. 672 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 2: So I said, I'm just going to call all of 673 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 2: you guys and that is a general term, instead of 674 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 2: having to refer to your sexes all the time. She's, 675 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 2: by the way, the best player on the team. I 676 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 2: think she's going to be a heck of a women's 677 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 2: softball player one day. It's probably already is. But I 678 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 2: think just using generic terms, we don't all even need 679 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 2: to take offense and you're not being excluded in the context. 680 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 2: And really, again the idea that that would be the 681 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,760 Speaker 2: focal point, that you have a limited number of questions 682 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 2: that you can ever ask of the of the Defense Secretary, 683 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 2: of the President of the United States, the ones that 684 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 2: you choose to ask in that context tell us more 685 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:20,399 Speaker 2: about you than I think them. 686 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 1: And it just showed me how broken. 687 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 5: The media is. What you got for us. 688 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:25,839 Speaker 1: Top of the next hour, Buck, where are we headed? 689 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 3: Oh, it's going to be a magical journey, my friends. 690 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 3: We've got more on the new York City mayor's race, 691 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 3: the wave of socialist fervor that is now at least 692 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,720 Speaker 3: sweeping through the Democrat Party. 693 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 5: We will discuss
