1:36

is your host , ryan Samuels .

1:44

Hello Patriots

1:46

, today is

1:49

another day where we're going to report

1:51

on the news and

1:53

once again , the

1:56

conspiracy theorists were

1:59

right . Imagine that

2:01

it gets kind of

2:03

tired

2:08

. It's kind

2:10

of exhausting being right all the time . Being part

2:12

of a group of like-minded people who

2:14

are just right all

2:17

of the time is

2:20

absurd and

2:23

you know , but here we are

2:25

again . So let's go over what happened . Remember

2:28

a long time ago , back

2:30

when Donald Trump first won the election and

2:34

Hillary Clinton couldn't believe it . They didn't want to believe it . So

2:37

they said it was a Russian collusion . He

2:40

colluded with Russia , donald

2:42

Trump , to steal the

2:44

election . Stolen

2:47

election , election fraud , all

2:49

of the terms they used for the 2016

2:51

election . If we want

2:53

to say anything about the other

2:55

election your ban from Facebook

2:57

. Your banned anywhere if you talk about

3:00

that , which is interesting , but

3:02

the 2016, . It's fair game . So

3:05

Hillary , to

3:08

this day , swears

3:10

that Donald Trump stole the election .

3:13

Hillary Clinton apparently still not over her

3:15

2016 defeat to President Trump . She's

3:18

now claiming the election was stolen from her . Watch this .

3:21

I think it's also critical

3:25

to understand that , as

3:27

I've been telling candidates who have come to see me , you

3:30

can run the best campaign , you

3:33

can even become the nominee and

3:36

you can have the election stolen from you .

3:40

So , brian , I think this is a situation

3:43

where you look at Hillary Clinton . She's

3:45

saying you know what we

3:47

really have to be sure

3:49

that we win .

3:51

Amazing

3:53

, amazing , that's amazing

3:55

. It was stolen because Donald

3:58

Trump colluded with the Russians

4:00

in order for them to put out disinformation

4:02

like Hunter Biden's laptop

4:04

. That was Russian disinformation

4:07

. Remember that . Well

4:11

, it turns out

4:13

that Matt

4:17

Tiaby and Michael

4:21

Schellenberger these are the two guys

4:23

that investigated Twitter after Elon

4:25

Musk took over and released the Twitter

4:27

files , with the FBI and CIA

4:29

coordinating with all of these

4:31

social media

4:34

companies in order

4:36

to silence you as

4:38

a citizen , to keep the narrative

4:40

that they wanted a direct

4:42

violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution

4:45

. However , it happened , it

4:48

was exposed , it

4:50

was shown to

4:52

the world . And

4:55

what happened with that ? Nothing . But

4:58

it turns out that

5:01

they did another investigation and

5:04

their investigation concluded

5:08

that the CIA helped

5:11

trigger the Russian probe at

5:13

the direction of Barack Obama . No

5:18

, yes , oh

5:20

yes .

5:25

In the 1950s , president Dwight Eisenhower

5:27

announced that he was naming the first civilian

5:30

director in the history of the CIA

5:32

. His name was Alan Dulles

5:34

, and Dulles had one order a

5:37

communism . But under Dulles

5:39

, the CIA morphed into Washington's most

5:41

powerful agency . Built up

5:43

by a league of ruthless assassins

5:46

operating under the orders to protect

5:48

capitalism from the Soviet menace

5:50

, dulles became power hungry

5:52

. Just months into his term , dulles

5:54

green-lighted Operation PB

5:57

Success , a coup to

5:59

take out Guatemala's democratically

6:01

elected leader , jacobo Arbenz

6:03

, and replace him with a military dictator

6:06

. Why ? To serve as

6:08

a vanguard for corporate interests . You

6:10

see , they needed to protect the profits

6:12

of the United Fruit Company . They

6:15

were under threat of having their land confiscated

6:17

under the Arbanes administration , and

6:20

the CIA has never shied away from government

6:22

overthrow . From Iran to the Congo

6:24

, to South Vietnam , the CIA has

6:27

never changed Until recently

6:29

, when they began interfering

6:31

in American elections , and

6:33

when it happened it was called a conspiracy

6:36

theory .

6:37

The biggest scandal was when they spied

6:39

on my campaign . They spied on my

6:42

campaign yeah there's no real evidence of that

6:44

. Of course there is . It's all over the place , Leslie

6:46

. They spied on my campaign and they got

6:48

caught .

6:49

Can I say something ? You know this

6:51

is 60 minutes and

6:53

we can't put on things . We can't

6:55

verify , you won't put it on because it's bad for Biden we

6:57

can't put on things we can't verify

6:59

.

6:59

Leslie , they spied on my campaign Well we

7:01

can't verify that .

7:02

It's been totally verified .

7:03

No .

7:04

It's been just go down and get the papers . They

7:07

spied on my campaign . They got caught .

7:10

Barack Obama said everything was done by

7:12

the book .

7:13

I guarantee that there is no political

7:15

influence in any investigation

7:18

conducted by the Justice Department or

7:20

the FBI , not just in this case

7:22

but in any case .

7:24

Now , obama isn't the first politician to lie

7:26

and won't be the last . Last

7:28

night , we brought you a bombshell report

7:30

from journalists Michael Schellenberger and Matt

7:33

Taiiby , but alleged Obama's

7:35

CIA not only was involved in the

7:37

Russia hoax , they started it .

7:41

A couple of things to know about

7:45

these two journalists . Right

7:47

, matt Taiiby worked for the Rolling

7:49

Stone for years . They're not left

7:52

wing , they're not right wing

7:54

journalists , they're not conservative conspiracy

7:56

theorists , they're not nut jobs . They're

7:58

actual journalists and

8:00

they investigate the truth . And

8:04

it just so happens that this truth

8:06

is bad , bad . Bad for

8:08

the Democrats , terrible for the

8:10

Democrats . And

8:12

they're

8:15

bringing out all of these allegations

8:18

about government coercion with private

8:20

businesses , and now government coercion to

8:23

actually interfere in the election , to

8:26

light to the people .

8:28

Story , as you mentioned , was that . Oh , we were just informed

8:30

by foreign intelligence about this . Our

8:33

sources tell us a very different story

8:35

, which is that this was initiated

8:37

by the US government . It came from within

8:39

the US government's intelligence community

8:42

, including the CIA .

8:44

According to this report , obama's CIA director

8:46

, john Brennan , asked our English

8:48

speaking allies to target the Trump campaign

8:51

, handing these foreign intelligence

8:53

agencies a target list of 26

8:56

Trump associates . These 26

8:58

Trump associates were to be bumped

9:00

, meaning they would be approached by

9:02

assets bumped into , and

9:05

these interactions and relationships

9:07

would be reported to the FBI as

9:09

suspicious . These

9:11

were people the CIA considered easy marks

9:13

, like George Papadopoulos , 20

9:16

year old . Foreign spies

9:18

didn't discover evidence of Trump's Russia

9:20

collusion and turn it over to the feds . Foreign spies

9:22

were assigned by Obama's CIA

9:25

to create a false impression

9:27

of collusion to trigger an FBI

9:29

counterintelligence investigation . Obama's

9:32

CIA worked with Hillary's foreign agents

9:35

in London to hatch the hoax which

9:37

led to the FBI investigation , the

9:39

illegal wiretapping , the Mike

9:41

Flynn sting and then , when Trump caught wind of

9:43

it , the Comey firing

9:45

and then Comey leaks the memos

9:47

which triggered the Mueller investigation . Now

9:50

the Mueller investigation was designed to cover

9:52

up for Obama and Hillary and tee

9:55

up impeachment . It failed

9:57

on impeachment , but the coverup worked

9:59

until now . New

10:02

reporting by Matt Taiib and Michael Schellenberger

10:04

revealed that house investigators

10:07

had discovered the root causes

10:09

, but their investigation and

10:11

all of their documents were confined

10:13

to secure rooms in Langley and

10:16

when Trump was leaving office in those hectic

10:18

final days he attempted to declassify

10:20

this material , which started a battle

10:23

between former CIA director

10:25

Gina Haspel , the Department of Justice

10:27

and the National Archives .

10:31

So there is also

10:33

an alleged connection

10:37

between the FBI raid

10:39

on Mar-a-Lago and

10:41

the classified documents , because they

10:43

were in fear that the classified

10:46

documents he was actually in possession

10:48

of were the ones showing

10:51

that Obama's CIA spied on

10:53

his campaign and created

10:56

an entire Russian hoax , allegedly

10:59

.

11:00

The report says someone may have

11:02

taken this binder of material exposing

11:05

the entire intelligence community out

11:07

of Langley and it may

11:09

have been what the FBI was looking for when

11:11

they raided Mar-a-Lago . Others

11:14

say that's not true , but the point remains

11:16

that the Obama-Biden White

11:18

House , their CIA and FBI

11:20

director launched an illegal

11:22

preemptive war against democracy

11:25

, got caught and have

11:27

been covering it up for eight years . Schellenberger

11:30

and Tai-Ibi also say redacted

11:32

FOIA documents suggest

11:34

that Biden has been conspiring against

11:37

Donald Trump with

11:39

the intelligence community to

11:41

prosecute the former president in

11:43

federal court , which would

11:45

be an impeachable offense .

11:49

Surprising . Is anybody surprised ? I

11:52

mean , there have been reports that Fannie Willis went

11:54

to the White House right before she brought

11:57

those charges on Donald Trump . Same

11:59

thing with Leticia James in New

12:02

York with the civil trial . Barack

12:05

Obama is famous for using

12:07

the system to attack his

12:09

political enemies . He attacked

12:11

members of the Tea Party by utilizing

12:13

the IRS and auditing them at

12:16

a retaliation for them protesting

12:19

what he was doing . I mean , he's a socialist , he's

12:21

a communist , that's who he

12:23

is as a human being . He

12:25

believes in that political ideology that

12:27

you should be able to utilize

12:30

the strength of the government

12:32

to crush opposition . That's

12:34

how extreme the left has gone and

12:37

that's where we are in

12:39

today's politics .

12:42

Matt Tai-Ibi is the racket news editor-in-chief

12:44

and Griff Topia author , so

12:47

this is great reporting

12:49

. It's

12:52

hard to verify because we

12:56

were told that this

12:58

special counsel Durham was going

13:00

to get to the bottom of it . Are you saying

13:02

he missed this ?

13:06

We were told that the scope

13:08

of the Durham investigation was limited

13:10

to a few

13:12

areas and that

13:15

he wasn't looking at this particular direction

13:17

. The information that

13:19

we have the investigation that was conducted

13:21

by the House Permanent Select Committee on Investigations

13:24

of Intelligence excuse me what

13:27

they found was a broad political espionage

13:29

campaign , and there were two main conclusions

13:32

that are at the center of our reports

13:34

. One is that at least

13:36

26 Trump aides and associates

13:38

were improperly and without

13:40

predication placed under surveillance in

13:43

the election year of 2016 . And

13:45

the other one is that these same folks cook

13:48

the intelligence for

13:50

the January 6 , 2017

13:52

intelligence

13:54

community assessment , saying

13:56

that Russia conducted an influence campaign to help

13:59

Donald Trump . It's a WMD

14:01

style story . They suppressed

14:04

dissenting opinions and

14:06

created a false narrative .

14:13

So there's a lot

14:15

of debate over this binder . Is there a binder

14:18

? What's in the binder ? Is it redacted

14:20

? Who has it ? Where is it ? Is

14:23

that why they conducted the raid

14:25

? What's going on with these materials

14:27

?

14:30

Well , it's a

14:32

difficult story because we

14:34

heard multiple versions of

14:36

what the binder is , how many binders

14:38

there are . We heard there are as many as three

14:40

. But we do know a couple

14:43

of concrete things . We know that

14:45

only a share of

14:47

the HIPSE investigation ever got out

14:49

. Of course people are aware of the Noon's Memo , which

14:52

led to the investigation of abuses

14:54

of FISA . We

14:57

know that there was a report

14:59

done into the origins of that

15:01

intelligence community assessment , which supposedly

15:03

never left a vault on

15:05

the grounds of Langley . It's like

15:08

a 17 to 20 page report . That was

15:10

confirmed by multiple sources . Apart

15:12

from that , we were told there are numerous

15:15

other investigative materials that

15:17

may or may not be these binders that stories

15:19

are referring to . But we know that

15:21

there's a lot of stuff that didn't get out , that

15:23

there were thousands of hours of investigation

15:26

and their conclusions have not yet been

15:28

declassified .

15:30

Now this would just be another reason why they want to

15:32

do everything they can to prevent Donald Trump from returning

15:35

to the White House , because he'll blow the

15:37

lid off of that . He tried to , wasn't able

15:39

to at the very end , but caught him most of the

15:41

time . I am interested in your reporting

15:43

that there is , I guess , heavily

15:45

redacted FOIA documents that

15:47

suggest that Joe Biden has been collaborating

15:50

with the intelligence community to prosecute

15:52

these federal cases against Donald

15:54

Trump , and we'll see how that shakes out

15:56

. Matt , great reporting to you

15:58

and Schellenberger . I suggest

16:00

everybody go to your website , your sub stack

16:03

, and read it for yourself . Thanks again , hey

16:06

, sean Hannity .

16:08

So it's Donald

16:12

Trump if he wins this election

16:14

and it's looking like he's

16:17

going to is

16:20

going to blow the lid off of this , and

16:22

I mean heads are going to roll . I mean he's

16:24

going to and I don't blame him . I

16:27

can't , you can't blame him for

16:29

for doing what he's going to do

16:31

, what he needs to do , and

16:33

I mean just to survive . I mean , my goodness

16:36

, the entire intelligence community is

16:38

after you . I

16:40

mean , how are you supposed to overcome that ? But he's

16:42

overcoming it and he's

16:44

on track to be president again . That's

16:47

something they thought that would never happen . They

16:50

got him out of office and

16:52

he's out of office now he's making a comeback and

16:54

they are panicking , panicking

16:58

. And all of this stuff is starting

17:00

to be released now . If you don't remember

17:02

the Mueller report that

17:05

was the , the special investigation into

17:07

the Russian collusion , the

17:10

thing and Mueller came

17:12

out and Basically gave

17:15

the FBI now to the FBI

17:18

.

17:18

The final report made public by John Durham

17:20

, the special counsel appointed by former president

17:22

Trump's attorney general , bill Barr . Durham

17:24

was investigating the origins of the FBI's

17:26

Russia investigation . His 300 page

17:28

report very critical of the FBI . Our

17:31

Chief Justice correspondent , pierre Thomas , has been

17:33

tracking this . Good morning , pierre .

17:37

Lizzie , good morning . Despite four years of investigation

17:39

, the special counsel did not find much

17:41

new . His report affirms failures

17:43

by the FBI and Today the FBI

17:46

is again acknowledging that serious mistakes

17:48

were made and saying that reforms

17:50

have been put in place to keep these kinds

17:52

of failures From happening again . This

17:55

morning , a blistering assessment from

17:57

the special counsel Investigating

17:59

the origins of the Russia investigation into

18:01

Donald Trump , slamming the FBI

18:04

special counsel , john Durham , appointed

18:06

by Donald Trump's attorney general , bill Barr

18:08

, concluding that at the time the investigation

18:11

was launched , near the US law enforcement

18:13

nor the intelligence community appears

18:15

to have possessed any actual evidence

18:17

of collusion . Durham also alleges

18:20

that the FBI was cavalier about the

18:22

accuracy and completeness of their work

18:24

. Among what Durham calls his sobering

18:26

findings that the FBI relied

18:28

on the so-called steel dossier , a

18:30

memo produced by former British spy Christopher

18:33

steel for a law firm representing

18:35

the Hillary Clinton campaign , and the

18:38

law firm who is representing the Hillary

18:40

Clinton campaign brought this

18:43

fake dossier To

18:45

the FBI to have them

18:47

investigate Donald Trump . What

18:53

A dossier , which

18:55

Durham said was full of rumor and speculation

18:57

. The report's findings

18:59

tracked closely with some of the damning conclusions

19:01

about the FBI from the DOJ

19:04

inspector general report from 2019

19:06

there are actions described in this

19:09

report that I consider Unacceptable

19:11

but that report ultimately concluded

19:13

that the investigation into Trump was

19:15

justified and Durham's investigation

19:18

, which costs more than Six point five million

19:20

dollars , falls far short , approving

19:22

that there was a deep state conspiracy against

19:25

Trump . Durham only convicted one lower-level

19:27

FBI official of misconduct in

19:29

pursuing an electronic surveillance warrant

19:32

, and two major trials ended

19:34

in a quiddle . Of

19:37

course they did despite all the investigation

19:39

, not a single high-level law enforcement

19:41

or intelligence official was convicted of a crime

19:43

. Of course , those who believe the Russia investigation

19:46

was justified point out the special

19:48

counsel , bob Mueller , did find numerous

19:50

Contacts between Trump associates and

19:52

the Russian government , which did interfere

19:54

in the 2016 election .

19:57

So this was a while ago , before we knew

19:59

that the CIA was involved . So it's very important

20:01

to listen to what he's saying here find

20:04

numerous contacts between Trump

20:06

associates and the Russian government numerous

20:08

contacts between Russian associates

20:11

and the Russian government very important

20:13

which did interfere in the 2016

20:15

election .

20:16

And there was that meeting at Trump Tower in June

20:18

2016 , attended by a Russian

20:20

attorney claiming to have dirt on

20:22

Hillary Clinton . In attendance , trump's

20:24

campaign manager , paul Manafort , and

20:27

members of Trump's family , michael , all

20:29

right , thank you so much for that , pierre .

20:32

Hi everyone George so

20:34

what's interesting is what Waters

20:37

was talking about in one of the other clips

20:39

that we had watched , that the

20:42

that

20:45

they were bumping

20:47

his , his

20:50

staffers on his campaign . Now , if you don't know what a bump

20:52

is , you have you

20:56

get like some sort of Russian intelligence

21:00

person to Walk up

21:02

to somebody in the street and say

21:04

hello and they recognize them , shake their hand

21:06

or they bump into . They sit next to him at a bar

21:08

and they talk about something

21:11

that's on the TV or whatever

21:13

, and somebody off in a distance is taking

21:15

pictures of them having a conversation . It's innocent

21:17

, nothing's going on . They're just bumping in , bumping

21:19

into them , and then they're turning around

21:21

with those pictures and say , hey , this person

21:23

was seen with a Russian asset , this person

21:26

was seen with a Russian asset , this person was

21:28

seen with a Russian asset . That's how the

21:32

Bumping , the bumping

21:34

is

21:37

Done and came to light now

21:40

. Donald

21:42

Trump has been Criticized

21:45

left and right since 2016

21:48

. You could argue that during his

21:50

presidency , this , this , cast such a

21:52

shadow that he was unable to get

21:54

basically anything done , and it

21:57

turns out in the end like

22:00

this was the the deep state

22:02

, so to speak Colluding

22:05

to push out Donald Trump , who

22:07

was not one of them .

22:09

President Trump is doubling down on his claim

22:11

that the FBI had what he calls a spy

22:14

in his campaign .

22:16

So how do you like ?

22:16

the fact they

22:19

had people infiltrating our

22:21

campaign . Can you imagine

22:23

? Can you imagine ?

22:25

President repeated his claim in Nashville last night

22:28

. He said last week that the use of an informant

22:30

could be quote one of the biggest political scandals

22:32

in US history .

22:33

Yes , yes

22:35

, this . This is one of the biggest political

22:38

scandals in US history , if not the biggest

22:40

.

22:40

Republican congressman trach audio . South Carolina

22:43

is chairman of the House Oversight and government reform

22:45

committee . He attended a classified Justice

22:47

Department briefing last week in response to

22:49

the president's allegation .

22:54

It is amazing that

22:56

that would happen in the United States of America , that

22:59

not only Are

23:01

they spying on the campaign , but

23:04

they are also Creating

23:07

an illusion

23:10

of Collusion

23:13

with the foreign government . I

23:19

mean , that's absolutely outrageous . That's

23:24

absolutely outrageous

23:27

to think that that would happen

23:29

in this country . Now they want to blame everything

23:31

on Russia . They

23:34

wanted to blame it on the steel dossier

23:37

in 2017

23:39

. Here is a clip from

23:42

CNN where they're trying to

23:44

prove

23:49

that he was colluding with Russia .

23:51

So the now infamous dossier on

23:53

Trump have proven to be true . I know

23:55

the history of the dossier , but it hasn't been discredited

23:58

.

23:58

In fact , it's been the opposite it's been corroborated

24:00

. Much of the dossier has been corroborated

24:02

.

24:02

This discredited dossier which was paid for

24:05

.

24:06

Your intel community has corroborated

24:08

all of the details in there .

24:10

The meeting , some of the substantive content

24:12

of the dossier we were able

24:14

to corroborate in our intelligence community assessment

24:16

which , from other sources in

24:19

which we had very high confidence , we know

24:21

that with the FISA application .

24:23

The relevant parts of Christopher

24:25

.

24:25

Steele's dossier were corroborated

24:27

. If the application included information

24:30

from the dossier , it would only

24:32

be after the FBI had in

24:34

fact corroborated information through its own investigation

24:37

.

24:38

We also know that , as time goes on , more and more

24:40

parts of the steel dossier get corroborated

24:42

.

24:42

So , when the president just refers to it as fake dossier

24:45

. That is false .

24:48

I don't think that's the accurate

24:50

characterization for the entirety of the dossier

24:52

.

24:52

The clear investigators have corroborated part

24:54

of the dossier .

24:56

dossier has been corroborated by the intelligence

24:58

community .

24:58

US investigators have corroborated some of the

25:00

allegations in that dossier . We do

25:03

know that parts of it have been corroborated

25:05

.

25:05

It's not been corroborated , but it hasn't

25:07

been disproven either .

25:09

Is there anything in the dossier that has been disproven

25:11

? No , but not one thing

25:13

has been disproven . No major thing

25:15

from the dossier has been conclusively

25:17

disproven .

25:18

To date , none of it has been disproven

25:21

and whole big parts of it are holding

25:23

up .

25:23

The dossier holds up well . None

25:26

of it has been disproven .

25:27

All of the allegations in it . I don't know that anything has

25:29

been disproven .

25:31

It's a fact that none of it , not one

25:33

word , has been disproven , in fact

25:35

a lot of it turned out to be right on the money

25:37

.

25:37

Former high ranking intelligence officials have told

25:39

us on the record that there is nothing in

25:41

the steel dossier that they know to have

25:43

been disproven , much of the dossier has

25:46

been corroborated , do you not ?

25:48

I love that they say well , that hasn't been disproven

25:50

, like if you're accusing somebody of a crime

25:52

, you have to prove that there's a crime . Well

25:55

, it wasn't disproven , like

25:57

shut up , except that the ?

25:59

I don't agree with that , alison . This is our reporting

26:01

and this is what crime

26:04

fighting agencies have said that the FBI

26:06

would not have just taken a dossier

26:09

to the FISA court and use that as

26:11

their predicate for the surveillance . They

26:13

had to corroborate it themselves . That's

26:15

how they operate .

26:19

That's not how they operate and that's the problem

26:21

. That's

26:23

all that they did . I mean you could go to

26:26

a Russian court I mean to a

26:28

FISA court , which might as well

26:30

be a Russian dictator court and

26:32

you can Fight

26:35

yeah

26:37

, you can basically get a warrant for anything . So

26:40

the FBI got a warrant to spy spy

26:43

on a presidential campaign

26:46

. Who the

26:49

hell are you ? Who

26:53

the hell are you ? You're not . The FBI

26:55

is not elected by the people of the

26:57

United States , but

27:01

they stay in power and

27:03

they utilize

27:06

their power entirely improperly

27:08

because they're not held accountable . Like

27:11

a politician would be held accountable , they would

27:13

lose an election . So

27:16

you know it comes to . Does the president

27:18

even have any power ? I

27:21

mean , that's my question . Or is it just everybody

27:23

around them making all

27:25

of these decisions and he's

27:27

just standing up there so happy to be president

27:30

that he's not telling anybody ? He's powerless

27:32

? I mean , how much authority

27:35

does the president actually have ? I

27:37

mean , I know they sign executive orders all the time

27:40

, but they're elected officials . How

27:42

can an unelected official spy

27:49

on an elected official who's

27:51

chosen by the people of the United States

27:53

? And

27:55

not only was this

27:57

completely , completely

28:01

wrong , it was

28:03

started by them , according

28:07

to Matt Tabie

28:10

and Michael Schellenberger

28:13

, all at the direction

28:16

of Barack Obama

28:18

while he was still in office

28:20

. Now , you remember Barack didn't

28:23

like Donald very much because

28:26

Barack didn't want to produce his birth

28:29

certificate and

28:32

Donald Trump kept asking like , produce

28:34

your birth certificate ? I mean , he eventually

28:36

did . He finally did , and

28:40

but they didn't like each other . They still

28:42

don't like each other . They're not friends . And

28:46

we have the

28:50

entire government focusing their energy

28:53

on a political

28:55

candidate for president , the

29:01

CIA working to

29:03

stop a presidential election to overthrow

29:05

its own government . It

29:09

makes you wonder about

29:12

previous things that happened , like JFK

29:14

. I mean , did the CIA

29:16

, you know , rub them out because

29:18

he wasn't in

29:21

line ? I mean , how far back does this

29:23

power go ? How

29:29

far back ? I

29:33

mean , how much influence do

29:36

or does our intelligence community have

29:39

on selecting presidents or

29:41

congresspeople ? I

29:45

mean that's a great question . How

29:48

long has this been going on ? Is

29:50

this a routine ? And have they just

29:52

been caught and

29:55

what do you do to stop it ? I mean

29:57

we already caught them spying

29:59

on every single American citizen

30:02

by turning on their

30:04

phones and listening to their conversations

30:06

through microphones , by

30:10

turning on their web cams

30:12

, without them noticing that National

30:14

Security Agency was doing that , and

30:18

Edward Snowden released

30:21

all of that information to the world

30:23

. Where is he In ? Hiding in

30:25

Russia ? This guy should be given an American

30:28

Medal of Freedom for

30:31

exposing the violations

30:34

of our Constitution that the

30:36

United States government perpetrated , but

30:39

he's living in exile and faces

30:42

treason , life in prison or

30:44

death if he comes back

30:46

to the United States , and

30:48

it's absolutely ludicrous
