Tulsey Gabber, the Director of National Intelligence, 10 00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:38,679 has now joined Caroline Levitt at the White House briefing 11 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,079 and she is going over this very information. So let's 12 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:43,560 listen in. 13 00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:48,399 Speaker 2: Thank you very much, good afternoon. At President Trump's direction 14 00:00:48,679 --> 00:00:51,359 and with the support and coordination with the House Intelligence 15 00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:56,560 Committee Chairman Rick Crawford, today we've released a declassified oversight 16 00:00:56,679 --> 00:01:02,759 Majority Staff report that was produced in Septembermber of twenty twenty. 17 00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:06,599 The stunning revelations that we are releasing today should be 18 00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:10,159 of concern to every American. This is not about Democrats Republicans. 19 00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:13,040 This has to do with the integrity of our Democratic 20 00:01:13,159 --> 00:01:16,879 Republic and American voters having faith that the votes cast 21 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:22,079 will count. There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President 22 00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:25,959 Obama and his national security team directed the creation of 23 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,159 an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false. They 24 00:01:31,239 --> 00:01:34,920 knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered 25 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,120 in the twenty sixteen election to help President Trump win, 26 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,159 selling it to the American people as though it were true. 27 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:44,879 It wasn't. The report that we released today shows in 28 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,799 great detail how they carried this out. They manufactured findings 29 00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:54,640 from shoddy sources, They suppressed evidence and credible intelligence that 30 00:01:54,799 --> 00:02:01,120 disproved their false claims. They disobeyed traditional trade craft intelligence 31 00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:05,040 community standards, and withheld the truth from the American people. 32 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,599 In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of 33 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,639 the American people who elected Donald Trump in that election 34 00:02:11,719 --> 00:02:15,159 in November of twenty sixteen. They worked with their partners 35 00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:18,560 in the media to promote this lie, ultimately to undermine 36 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,919 the legitimacy of President Trump and launching what would be 37 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,759 a year's long coup against him and his administration. We're 38 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,319 here today because the American people deserve the truth, they 39 00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:35,439 deserve accountability, and they deserve justice. The records that we 40 00:02:35,479 --> 00:02:39,319 released on Friday that were ode and I records. Senator 41 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,479 Chuck Grassley's release on Monday of what is known as 42 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,039 the Clinton Annex, which was an appendix to the Department 43 00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:49,360 of Justice Office of Inspector General's twenty eighteen report, as 44 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,080 well as the House Intelligence Committee's Oversight Majority Oversight report 45 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,439 that we're releasing today, all come back to and confirm 46 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:02,560 the same report. There was a gross policization manipulation of 47 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,400 intelligence by the Obama administration intended to delegitimize President Trump 48 00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:11,080 even before he was inaugurated, ultimately usurping the will of 49 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,240 the American people. I'm going to go over the key 50 00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:19,360 findings from the House Intelligence Report, which investigated the claims 51 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,599 that were made by an intelligence community assessment ordered by 52 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,719 President Obama and published in January of twenty seventeen. First, 53 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,199 Putin's principal interests relating to the twenty sixteen election were 54 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,080 to undermine faith in the US democratic process, not show 55 00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:39,719 any preference of a certain candidate. In fact, this report 56 00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:44,719 shows Putin held back leaking, held back from leaking compromising 57 00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:48,560 material on Hillary Clinton prior to the election, instead planning 58 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,719 to release it after the election to weaken what Moscow 59 00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:56,800 viewed as an inevitable Clinton presidency. In the January twenty 60 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,520 seventeen Intelligence Community assessment that President Obama ordered John Brennan, 61 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,879 whose CIA director at the time, and the Intelligence community 62 00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:09,919 intentionally suppressed intelligence that showed Putin was saving the most 63 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,080 damaging material that he had in his possession about Hillary 64 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:19,199 Clinton until after her potential and likely victory. The report 65 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,720 goes into great detail about the information that Russia and 66 00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:26,319 Putin had which on Hillary Clinton, which included possible criminal 67 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,600 acts like secret meetings with multiple named US religious organizations 68 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,319 in which State Department officials offered in exchange for supporting 69 00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:41,319 Secretary Clinton's campaign for the presidency, significant increases in financing 70 00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:42,360 from the State Department. 71 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: Uh oh, that's bad. 72 00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: They also had documents that showed the patronage of the 73 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,920 State Department to State Department employees who would go and 74 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,560 support Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. There were high level DNC 75 00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:00,240 emails that detailed evidence of Hillary's quote psycho emotional problem, 76 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,480 uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness, and that then 77 00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:09,879 Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily regiment of heavy tranquilizers. 78 00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:15,639 Then CIA Director Brennan and the intelligence community mischaracterized intelligence 79 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,680 and relied on dubious, substandard sources to create a contrived, 80 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,920 false narrative that Putin developed a quote unquote clear preference 81 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,720 for Trump. Brennan and the ICE misled lawmakers by referencing 82 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,120 the debunked Steele dossier to assess quote unquote Russia's plans 83 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:37,199 and intentions, falsely suggesting that this dossier had intelligence value 84 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,040 when he knew that it was discredited. The Intelligence community 85 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,279 excluded significant intelligence and ignored or selectively quoted reliable intelligence 86 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,759 that contradicted the Intelligence Community assessment's key findings on Putin's 87 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,879 alleged support for Trump. Including this intelligence reporting would have 88 00:05:55,959 --> 00:06:01,639 exposed the ICA's claim. Including this intellelligence reporting would have 89 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:07,720 exposed the ICA's claim as implausible, if not ridiculous. The 90 00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:12,120 Intelligence Community assessment omitted reliably sourced information, such as how 91 00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:15,519 some Russian intelligence officials were quote unquote planning for candidate 92 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,439 Hillary Clinton's victory, while others assessed neither Trump nor Clinton 93 00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:25,000 would respect Russia's interests, as was reflected in the OD 94 00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:28,360 and I documents that we released on Friday. Multiple intelligence 95 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,879 community assessments released in the months leading up to the 96 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,759 November twenty sixteen election concluded that Russia had neither the 97 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,639 intent nor capability to impact the outcome of the US election. 98 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,800 On December fifth of twenty sixteen, the FBI and ODIE 99 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,800 and I gave the House Intelligence Committee its first post 100 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,879 election classified briefing, in which there was no mention of 101 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,759 Putin aspiring to elect Trump by either agency. The Presidential 102 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,199 Daily Brief, drafted on December eighth of twenty sixteen, stated 103 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,680 that no Russia or criminal actors impacted vote counts. This 104 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,399 document was pulled just hours before it was to be 105 00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:10,399 published due to quote unquote new guidance. If it had 106 00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:13,240 been published, it would have been briefed to both President 107 00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:18,480 Obama and President elect Donald Trump. On December ninth, twenty sixteen, 108 00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:21,160 a National Security Council meeting was called to gather President 109 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,279 Obama's senior national security officials, which included CIA Director Brennan, 110 00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:29,639 then Obama, d and I, James Clapper, Susan Rice, and others. 111 00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:33,839 Following that secret meeting, DNI, Clapper's assistant sent an email 112 00:07:33,959 --> 00:07:37,800 to the intelligence community with the subject line potus tasking 113 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,839 on Russia election medaling, tasking od and I leaders to 114 00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:45,480 create a new assessment per the President's request. 115 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: All right, so let me stop it right there. This 116 00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:50,319 is I've rolled it back from when she began speaking. 117 00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:55,920 She is still speaking at the White House. So number one, 118 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,959 that's a new new piece of information that apparently there 119 00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:04,120 was some promises of funding made via the State Department 120 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,000 to religious organizations. Don't know which those would be, but 121 00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:14,879 that's part of this as well. Like, this is bad, people, 122 00:08:14,959 --> 00:08:18,839 this is very, very bad. And I know people, you know, 123 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,439 Democrats don't want to focus on this. They don't want 124 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,800 this to be true. I get that, much like there 125 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,199 are probably people that don't want the Epstein connection to 126 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,439 Trump to be true if it's as bad as everybody 127 00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:33,960 on the left thinks it is or says it is. Sure, 128 00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:40,440 but this is important, all right. If you're listening to 129 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,000 this show, you know I try to keep up with 130 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,120 all sorts of current events, and I know you do too, 131 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,759 And you've probably heard me say get your news from 132 00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:47,960 multiple sources. 133 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:48,799 Speaker 3: Why. 134 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: Well, because it's how you detect media bias, which is 135 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,960 why I've been so impressed with ground News. It's an 136 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,399 app and it's a website, and it combines news from 137 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,600 around the world in one place, so you can compare 138 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,759 coverage and verify information.

That just in Axios reporting the the Director 154 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,799 of National Intelligence, Tulci Gabbert is appearing at the White 155 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,360 House Press briefing right now. She's outlining this was a 156 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:15,360 House Intelligence Committee report. It was based on an investigation 157 00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:20,399 launched by then Chairman Devin Nunez, Republican from California. It 158 00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:23,480 was dated September eighteenth, twenty twenty. At the time of 159 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:34,159 the publication of the report, Representative Adam Schiff for Brains 160 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,759 was the chairman of that committee, and the report has 161 00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:41,360 never been released to the public. It has remained highly 162 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,519 classified within the intelligence community. That's what she just declassified today. 163 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,320 That's what she's going over. And the key point here 164 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,440 when she ran through that chronology which I gave you 165 00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:54,320 earlier in the program that in hour two I went 166 00:10:54,360 --> 00:11:01,559 over the chronology. The reason why they pulled the Intelligence 167 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:07,519 Committee assessment and revised it was because if it had 168 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,799 remained as the final product, it would have been included 169 00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:16,240 in the Presidential Daily Brief, the President's Daily Brief, or 170 00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:21,200 the PDB. They could not allow that ICA to remain 171 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:26,120 in the PDB because it said Russia didn't tamper with 172 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:32,039 the election to help Trump win. And why couldn't they 173 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,120 leave it in the PDB. Because Trump had won and 174 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,440 he was also getting the pdbs, they could not let 175 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,600 him see it. So they have a secret meeting and 176 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:51,279 Obama tasks the CIA with revising it, puts Brennan in charge. 177 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,720 Brennan sticks the Steel dossier in it, and now the 178 00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:58,240 PDB says putin wanted Trump to win. 179 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 2: Let's Resumetelligence Committee oversite report that we released today reveals 180 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,279 that quote Unlike routine intelligence community analysis, the Intelligence Community 181 00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:11,840 Assessment was a high profile product ordered by the President 182 00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:17,279 President Obama. It directed senior intelligence community agency heads and 183 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,200 created an intelligence community assessment limited to just five analysts 184 00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:27,679 using one principal drafter. This is not something that occurs 185 00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:32,480 in the normal path of producing an intelligence community assessment 186 00:12:32,879 --> 00:12:37,480 that reflects the views across the intelligence community. The production 187 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,960 of this Intelligence community assessment was subject to unusual directives 188 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,919 directly from the President and senior political appointees, especially the 189 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,679 former Director of the CIA, John Brennan. The House Intelligence 190 00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:53,200 Committee oversite report also shows how later that same day, 191 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,639 on December ninth, Brennan ordered the publication of quote unquote 192 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,240 substandard reporting on Russian activities, which had previously been withheld 193 00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:05,480 from publication of prior assessments because the information was judged 194 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,840 quote to have not met long standing publication standards. Some 195 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,919 of the information later use in the Obama ordered assessment, 196 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,120 over the objections of veteran CIA officers, was quote unquote 197 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:24,200 unclear or from unknown sources. The Intelligence Committee's oversight report 198 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,960 reveals that CIA Director Brennan overruled senior CIA officers who 199 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:34,440 challenged the Obama ordered intelligence assessment, stating quote, we don't 200 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,000 have direct information that Putin wanted to get Trump elected. 201 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,399 Yet the Obama directed assessment was published on January sixth, 202 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,759 twenty seventeen, which explicitly stated, quote, we assess Putin and 203 00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:50,080 the Russian government aspired to help President elect Trump's election 204 00:13:50,279 --> 00:13:55,600 chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting 205 00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:02,159 her unfavorably to him end of quote. And FBI, then 206 00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:06,519 led by John Brennan and James Comy, expressed high confidence 207 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,759 in this judgment, while the NSA expressed moderate confidence. Yet, 208 00:14:11,799 --> 00:14:15,279 as the report we released today shows, the ICA the 209 00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:19,720 Intelligence Community assessment did not cite any report where Putin 210 00:14:19,879 --> 00:14:24,279 indicated helping Trump win was an objective. The opposite is 211 00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:28,799 true with regards to the Steele dossier. We now know 212 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,600 that one of the source documents that the Obama administration 213 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,480 used in the creation of this intelligence assessment in January 214 00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:39,279 of twenty seventeen was none other than the discredited, unverified 215 00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:44,000 Steele dossier. The House Intel report states quote contradicting public 216 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,600 claims by then CIA Director Brennan that the dossier was 217 00:14:47,639 --> 00:14:52,320 not in any way incorporated into this intelligence assessment. The 218 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,000 dossier was referenced in the intelligence assessment's main body text 219 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,720 and further detailed in a two page assessment annex. John 220 00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:04,000 Brennan lied, and he denied using this dossier in this 221 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,960 intelligence assessment that President Obama ordered because he knew it 222 00:15:08,039 --> 00:15:13,120 was discredited. It was a politically motivated manufactured document. He 223 00:15:13,159 --> 00:15:19,360 directed senior CIA officials to use it anyway. CIA officer 224 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,440 told the House Intelligence Committee staff as they investigated this quote, 225 00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:29,279 the Director of the CIA, John Brennan, refused to remove it, and, 226 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,279 when confronted with the dossier's many flaws, responded, quote, yes, 227 00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:38,559 but doesn't it ring true. Even the bipartisan Senate Select 228 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,159 Committee on Intelligence report published in twenty twenty, criticized the 229 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,960 FBI's handling of the Steele dossier, noting its completely unverified 230 00:15:47,039 --> 00:15:51,799 nature and purposeful side stepping of intelligence community procedures in 231 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,639 its use. Now President Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper, 232 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,960 James Coby, and others, including their mouthpieces in the met 233 00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:04,039 knowingly lied as they repeated the contrived narrative that was 234 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,759 created in this January twenty seventeen Intelligence Community assessment with 235 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,840 high confidence as though it were fact right. 236 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: They lied, and the ICA also suppressed intel that showed 237 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,320 Russia was actually planning for a Hillary Clinton victory. That's 238 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,559 what they thought. What happened, because that's what everybody thought 239 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,679 was going to happen. Everyone, well almost everyone.

Director of National 262 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:50,000 Intelligence Tulsea Gabbard joining the White House Daily Press Briefing, 263 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,599 and she is outlining all of the evidence that was 264 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,039 compiled in the House Intelligence Committee but then was locked 265 00:17:58,079 --> 00:18:02,000 down under a highly classified designation so nobody could get 266 00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:08,039 at the information, and she declassified this. It is now 267 00:18:08,079 --> 00:18:11,960 public today and she's been laying it out for the press. 268 00:18:13,319 --> 00:18:15,720 I'm assuming I think I saw somebody email me that 269 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,680 CNN broke away as soon as she started talking about this, 270 00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:21,160 which that tells you all you need to know about 271 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,400 who's actually trying to inform you of what really occurred. 272 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 2: John Brennan, as CIA Director, stated in a memo to 273 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,759 his agency staff in December of twenty sixteen, saying, quote, 274 00:18:32,759 --> 00:18:36,920 there is strong consensus among us on the scope, nature, 275 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,640 and intent of Russian interference in our presidential elected election. 276 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:42,839 Speaker 1: Intent is the key. 277 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 2: This is reported by NBC News confirming that Brennan, along 278 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,480 with James Clapper and James Comey, agreed with the CIA's 279 00:18:49,519 --> 00:18:53,319 assessment that Russia intervened to help Trump win the presidency. 280 00:18:54,319 --> 00:18:57,400 As Obama's Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper was tasked 281 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,079 with overseeing the creation of this assessment in January of 282 00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:05,160 twenty seventeen by President Obama, and he expressed confidence in 283 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,200 its findings. In a twenty eighteen interview with the Harvard Gazette, 284 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,880 he talked about how he provided Trump with the same 285 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,400 classified assessment that protestment that President Obama received, which included 286 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,839 the high confidence judgment that putin directly ordered the hacking 287 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,559 and election interference. Clapper then went on to add, I 288 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:30,559 think they, the Russians, actually influenced the outcome. This is 289 00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:33,119 a brief summary of the details that you'll find within 290 00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:38,279 the House Majority Staff's report. In their investigation into the 291 00:19:38,319 --> 00:19:43,319 Obama directed January twenty seventeen intelligence community assessment that leads 292 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,880 us to the very same conclusion that we announced in 293 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,960 the release of our documents on Friday. The implications of 294 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,640 this are far reaching and have to do with the 295 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,880 integrity of our democratic republic. It has to do with 296 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,799 an outgoing president taking action to manage manufacture intelligence to 297 00:20:02,039 --> 00:20:04,920 undermine and usurp the will of the American people in 298 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,200 that election and launch what would be a year's long 299 00:20:08,279 --> 00:20:11,640 coup against the incoming president of the United States, Donald Trump. 300 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,319 Speaker 3: Thank you well, Thank you, Telsey, and we do want 301 00:20:17,319 --> 00:20:20,039 to take questions on this topic. While the director has 302 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,319 time for this topic, she will leave. I'm happy to 303 00:20:22,319 --> 00:20:24,839 take questions on other matters after that, but if anyone 304 00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:27,079 has questions for Director Gabbard, you're welcome. 305 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: I see Annis watching this over on c SPAN two. No, 306 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,359 I don't want now to a house oversight subject. Are 307 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,160 you serious? Unaccompanied migrant children? Why would you do that 308 00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:38,480 to me? C span? Why would you move it to 309 00:20:38,559 --> 00:20:43,079 c SPAN two. That's ridiculous, Thanks a lot, c SPAN. 310 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,920 Sean says, Oh, this is on the text line. You 311 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,680 said everybody thought Hillary was going to win. I bet 312 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,160 a guy my one hundred dollars to his five that 313 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,440 she was not going to be president. This bet was 314 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,839 made when there was still seventeen Republicans running. I said, 315 00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:06,480 no matter who they nominate, they will beat her. As 316 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,720 it got closer and Trump was the last man standing, 317 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,400 I must admit I was a bit worried that I 318 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,599 threw away one hundred dollars, but he ended up paying 319 00:21:13,599 --> 00:21:16,240 me my five bucks. She was never a very well 320 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,319 liked person. The media just made it look like she was. 321 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,839 That's from Sean. Well, here's the thing. All of the polling, right, 322 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,359 all of the coverage, everything, all the horse race coverage, 323 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:33,960 it was all pointing in that direction. And yeah, like 324 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,200 that was a major turning point in the polling industry. 325 00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:41,599 It's why I don't rely on poles anymore. Like I'll 326 00:21:41,599 --> 00:21:45,599 look at polls just for trend lines. I don't care 327 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:51,720 about individual snapshots. I don't. It is a rare occasion 328 00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:54,440 when I will bring a pole to the program and 329 00:21:54,480 --> 00:22:00,000 go over a poll, a single poll. Glenn Beck, Actually 330 00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:03,400 he had a very good not Actually I like Glenbeck. 331 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,759 When I worked in Ashville, we carried Glen Beck and 332 00:22:05,799 --> 00:22:08,039 I used to listen to him, and I mean some 333 00:22:08,079 --> 00:22:11,079 of the stuff was it was not my cup of tea. 334 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:16,519 But but he does a good job of connecting dots. 335 00:22:17,079 --> 00:22:22,960 Anybody who has seen his chalkboard can confirm. But he 336 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,680 has a he did a big I think this was 337 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,240 from his show yesterday maybe or maybe in this morning. 338 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,799 But the Blaze dot com did a synopsis basically of 339 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,920 his recapping of this scandal, and he starts off going 340 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,920 back to September twelfth, twenty sixteen, in a secure briefing room, 341 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,960 a document from the Office of the d and I, 342 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,359 the Director of National Intelligence under then President Barack Obama, 343 00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:00,480 was circulated among his intelligence team, and the memo stated, quote, 344 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:05,559 foreign adversaries do not have and will probably not obtain 345 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,599 the capabilities to successfully execute widespread and undetected cyber attacks 346 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:17,279 on election systems end quote. That was September twelfth, before 347 00:23:17,319 --> 00:23:20,880 the election. In other words, Russia was not a threat 348 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:26,920 to the election's outcome. That was from the ODNI. But 349 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,480 when thousands of private DNC emails were leaked by hackers, 350 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:38,759 the Clinton campaign and the media blamed Russia. That was 351 00:23:38,839 --> 00:23:43,920 despite the fact that the NSA had ranked that claim 352 00:23:44,039 --> 00:23:51,599 as quote low confidence that it was the Russians. Then 353 00:23:51,759 --> 00:23:55,440 October seventh, twenty sixteen. Now remember this is at a 354 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,720 time when Hillary Clinton's campaign had already they had already 355 00:23:58,759 --> 00:24:01,319 compiled the Steele dossier, they had paid for it, right, 356 00:24:01,599 --> 00:24:03,880 Brennan was shopping this thing around. He was doing that 357 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,880 back in April of twenty sixteen. So when there when 358 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,559 the DNC email hack came along, they raced out and 359 00:24:12,559 --> 00:24:17,200 said it's the Russians. Meanwhile, the NSA was like, uh noil, 360 00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:23,400 probably not. Didn't It turn out to be John Podestah 361 00:24:23,599 --> 00:24:26,400 getting duped by a phishing scam, like, hey, you got 362 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,519 to change your password, and so he gave his password 363 00:24:28,599 --> 00:24:31,559 to this you know, phishing scam and that's how they 364 00:24:31,559 --> 00:24:37,920 got all of the emails. So that was September. October seventh, 365 00:24:38,039 --> 00:24:43,119 twenty sixteen, the DNI and Department of Homeland Security quote 366 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:49,119 jointly state that Russia is directing cyber attacks that contradicted 367 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,440 internal memos from the same week that showed key agencies 368 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:59,799 still had serious doubts about any Russian involvement. And then 369 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:06,480 Trump won and panic ensues. A meeting is called on 370 00:25:06,519 --> 00:25:10,920 December ninth in the situation room. Everyone is there Clapper, Brennan, 371 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:19,599 Susan Rice, Andrew McCabe, John Kerry, President Obama. This meeting 372 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,599 is on the record. Instructions are issued to scrap the 373 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,400 post election briefing that had reaffirmed that there was no 374 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,680 Russian interference, and then the direction was given per the 375 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,720 president's request, that's the direct quote, per the president's request, 376 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,519 to rewrite a new draft. And as I said earlier, 377 00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:45,279 this was imperative because if that assessment made it into 378 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,160 the Presidential Daily Briefing Book, then Trump would have seen 379 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:55,119 it too, because Trump, as president elect now was getting PDBS. 380 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,039 So they had to make the one he sees say 381 00:25:59,079 --> 00:26:01,839 the thing that they are spreading, say the lie that 382 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,200 they are spreading.

Visit creative video dot com. Let 401 00:27:07,039 --> 00:27:08,680 me see I let me go to the text line. 402 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:17,640 Alrighty why why? Okay? Uh? Uh? Se SPAN breaking away? 403 00:27:17,759 --> 00:27:20,440 Stan says, looks like se SPAN got the memo later 404 00:27:20,519 --> 00:27:24,039 than CNN did. Ah yeah maybe uh. Timmy says this 405 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,160 is just a dog and pony show. Nobody of note 406 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,119 will be charged or arrested. We have gotten to a 407 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,960 place in politics where politicians have free reign to openly 408 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,640 commit fraud and crimes without any consequences. Not to mention, 409 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,559 the CIA and FBI can blatantly break the law. Okay, well, 410 00:27:41,799 --> 00:27:46,200 wouldn't this be the steps that you take in order 411 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,640 to start charging people with breaking the law. Like that's 412 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,640 what I mean. Like, guys, I don't know what it is. 413 00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,680 Maybe people in you know, in the Republican Party, conservatives, 414 00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:07,759 right leaners, like, are you tired of winning? No, it's losing. 415 00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:12,640 We're losing. This isn't losing, Like we have to recognize 416 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,920 the wins when we get them. I don't know what 417 00:28:15,039 --> 00:28:18,079 happens next, and people, you are free to make whatever 418 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,039 predictions you want to make. I'm not saying that you 419 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,599 need to be optimistic that you know people are going 420 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,279 to go to jail. I'm not saying you you should 421 00:28:27,319 --> 00:28:30,200 be pessimistic either though, but like, let's just wait and see. 422 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,640 This is to me, this is a positive development. This 423 00:28:33,759 --> 00:28:38,920 development is positive. This is a good step. I don't 424 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,480 know what's going to happen, but I'm not blackpilling myself 425 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,119 and saying all is lost already. In fact, after c 426 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,920 C Span cut away, apparently a reporter asked Tulsi Gabbard, 427 00:28:54,359 --> 00:28:58,960 are you referring former President Barack Obama to the DOJ 428 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:06,480 for criminal implications? And Gabbert said, correct, the evidence we 429 00:29:06,559 --> 00:29:09,759 have found and released directly point to President Obama leading 430 00:29:09,759 --> 00:29:15,440 the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment. Now, will will the 431 00:29:15,519 --> 00:29:18,079 DOJ charge him? I don't know, Like in the past, 432 00:29:18,119 --> 00:29:22,200 like we don't charge former presidents. Well, that precedent sort 433 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,240 of got blown up a few years ago, folks, So yeah, 434 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,119 I think you could probably pursue this sort of thing. Now, 435 00:29:29,119 --> 00:29:31,960 what about the Supreme Court ruling this is a president's 436 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,880 official act? Would this count as an official act to 437 00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:44,000 order this kind of revision? I don't know, But let's 438 00:29:44,039 --> 00:29:49,079 run them through the gauntlet because that's the precedent. That's 439 00:29:49,079 --> 00:29:51,240 what we're going to be testing. That's why we ended 440 00:29:51,319 --> 00:29:55,160 up with a Supreme Court decision on this very idea. Right, 441 00:29:55,759 --> 00:29:58,440 good for the goose, good for the gander. Isn't this 442 00:29:58,599 --> 00:30:03,839 what people claim they want to see? And to me, 443 00:30:05,359 --> 00:30:08,839 I've been warning the left about the slippery slope. You 444 00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:11,160 guys keep doing these things. You're not gonna like it 445 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:18,119 when these weapons get turned against you. And here we are, welcome. 446 00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:22,920 You have arrived. That is your own petard. I don't 447 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,400 know what a petard is. I feel like it's a garment. 448 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,240 It's like it's like a variation of the what do 449 00:30:30,319 --> 00:30:32,920 they call the leotard. I think it's a yeah, the petard. 450 00:30:33,119 --> 00:30:38,000 I think maybe I don't know, So there's that. A 451 00:30:38,119 --> 00:30:43,160 reporter asked Gabbard, do you believe President Obama is guilty 452 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,440 of treason, because that's what Trump said yesterday, and Gabbard 453 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:52,079 said it on Friday. She called it treason, this behavior. 454 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,039 Her response at the White House Press briefing was, quote, 455 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,720 when you look at the intent behind creating a fake 456 00:30:59,799 --> 00:31:05,160 man manufactured intelligence document, the expressed intent can only be 457 00:31:05,359 --> 00:31:10,000 described as a year's long coup and a treason, this conspiracy. 458 00:31:10,799 --> 00:31:15,319 Right again, keep in mind, this is what hamstrung Donald 459 00:31:15,319 --> 00:31:22,960 Trump's first term. The most you can get done when 460 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,440 you're a president, right when you first take when you 461 00:31:25,519 --> 00:31:29,680 get elected. The first eighteen months is really when you 462 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,039 get the most amount of stuff done, particularly in a 463 00:31:32,079 --> 00:31:35,960 first term, because after the eighteen months, then you've got 464 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,000 your mid terms. You're out there campaigning for all of 465 00:31:39,039 --> 00:31:42,640 these different House and Senate members trying to get them 466 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:48,759 elected or keep them in office. The most active and 467 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,920 fruitful period of time you will have is usually in 468 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,359 the first year and a half, and then you have 469 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:01,039 your own reelection. After the midterms, that becomes a lot 470 00:32:01,079 --> 00:32:05,000 of the focus and you know you got the opposition 471 00:32:05,119 --> 00:32:07,599 party not wanting to give you any wins and that 472 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:13,599 sort of thing. And usually presidents lose the House and 473 00:32:13,839 --> 00:32:17,000 or the Senate in that first midterm election, and so 474 00:32:17,079 --> 00:32:24,839 they crippled his first term. I mean it led to 475 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:30,039 the impeachment over the Ukraine issue because he asked Zelenski, hey, 476 00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:33,559 show me what you got on this corruption stuff and 477 00:32:33,599 --> 00:32:36,079 the Biden deal or you know when he said, you know, 478 00:32:36,119 --> 00:32:38,000 get rid of your prosecutor and what was going on 479 00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:40,720 with Obama and all of that, and that got him impeached. 480 00:32:42,359 --> 00:32:45,119 The same people that were in the intelligence agencies that 481 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,720 were working against Trump for the entirety of his first term. 482 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,759 And by the way, the spying, according to Matt Tayibi, 483 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,799 the Independent journalist, he says, the spying that we saw 484 00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:00,519 in the Trump campaign in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, that 485 00:33:01,319 --> 00:33:04,359 the referral of charges and the investigation goes all the 486 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,680 way through this last election. In other words, it may 487 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,640 have resumed or it may have never even stopped. So yes, 488 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,440 I want criminal referrals. I want charges to be referred 489 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,559 to DOJ and we'll see what happens. All right, that'll 490 00:33:19,559 --> 00:33:22,240 do it for this episode. Thank you, so much for listening. 491 00:33:22,319 --> 00:33:24,480 I could not do the show without your support and 492 00:33:24,519 --> 00:33:27,240 the support of the businesses that advertise on the podcast, 493 00:33:27,599 --> 00:33:29,680 so if you'd like, please support them too and tell 494 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,440 them you heard it here.
