This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Memo fight, twenty eighteen, the Republicans take on the FBI and the Royal Rumble plus Mika Brzezinski throws Michael Wolf off the set of mourning Joe and Republicans should rebuild. and I will show you an example why I mentioned this adventure Barroso, will bring you the latest on a memo gate. Two thousand and eighteen memo fight is the most exciting rumble in the history of american politics, everybody's going to show up from the from the from the the side of the stage and just club each other. Reams of paper will be so exciting. Devon, Nunez, verses, Adam chef, face off Nancy, blows, evil, this Paul Ryan pounding to the mat. Its can be incredible, discuss all those things. First, I'm it is late with Molen Ranch and because the fact is, if you need to relax folks, then you need to sleep well, not somebody who tend to sleep well, particularly when I'm on the road, but I'm home,
sleep while and that's because humble and branches they are the best sheets in the business bowling brand sheets of classic a thousand bucks in the store. This kind of quality of sheep malibran sheets, though, are only a couple of hundred dollars. We we tried them. We love them so much that we replace pretty much all the sheets in our house with bull and branch shades because they are top quality they made from pure one hundred percent organic cotton. They start out. Often they get even softer over time. Right now, my listeners get fifty dollars off their first set of sheets at bull and branch dot com, promo code ban, use that promote, could then be. Oh l, l and branched outcome promo code. Then again, the sheets are just terrific, there's a reason. Three: U S President's slept on bull and branch sheets, and shipping is free. Can even try them for three nights. You dont, like them, centre back for a refund, but no one wants to send it back. reform, because they are that glad you don't think about. She'd quality enslave actually slept in really good cheats and then, once you do, never want to go back. A bull and branch dot com, promo code, banning at fifty bucks off your first sent a sheet bowl and branched outcome, use that promo code Ben ok
so again rim. Ok, I'm just excited to say memo fight, memo gate and it is also exciting. In truth, none of it is all that exciting. I'm gonna, try and break down what's happening, because if it seems like always chaos and confusion, if it feels like a robber rows of confusion and cast, has taken over your life happening of Jordan Petersen too much, then you need to It wouldn't try breakdown in separate out all the various strands of what's going in the FBI scandal and who is to blame and who is lying. So first, what's begin with this, the FBI is basically asking you to trust them and the Republicans are asking you to trust them, and the Democrats are asking you to trust the FBI and President Trump is asking you to trust the Republicans, and you know it addressed because the truth is we don't have all the information. What we do know is a couple of things there, a few different strangers
number one. The FBI, in all likelihood, acted correctly in allowing Hillary Clinton to get away with storing classified information on a private, unsecured e mail server. Ok, that was FBI malfeasance, and it was probably planned by the Obama administration in coordination with the deal J and the FBI is pretty solid evidence to that effect. I talked about it a few days ago on the show, if you go back about a week, analysed my show in which I discussing Andrew Mccarthy's peace over national review, laying out the case that there was essentially coordination between the Obama team in the White House and the FBI's. Let Hillary Clinton off the hook, specifically because Hilary was illegally, storing classified information on her server and using a private email address and Obama was emailing that email address meaning he knew that she was using a private email address, reclassified material, which was not in fact legal that that peace by Mccarthy is pretty dancing and pray. telling about what the FBI was doing, and now we know according to the Wall, street Journal is breaking his yesterday. Top FBI officials were aware least a month before learning Congress that
potentially related to an investigation of Hillary Clinton had emerged during a key stretch of the two thousand sixteen presidential campaign. According to text messages reviewed by the Wall Street Journal, so FBI, deputy director Anaemic David learned about the thousands of emails by September. Twenty eight twenty. Sixteen direct origins coming form Congress on October, twenty eight eleven days before the presidential elections but they, but Mr Commie said nothing call me later said nothing about how early he had known about those email, we want a month without hearing about those things so democratic, complaining that call me Sand until a decline in all likelihood what happened here, as they call me felt it was necessary because they actually gone through that
Viewed a lot of these emails, never seeing some stuff they didn't like, but that took them a month to announce to Congress. So when people talk about corruption inside the FBI, when they talk about the gaming of the FBI by the by the Obama administration, there's some pretty good evidence for that, and so it's hard to trust the FBI. When the F B, I says, don't release this four page memo about from Russia Collusion now Devon Nunez, the House Intelligence Committee has put together a four page member, this much valued memo from the House Intelligence Committee that details intelligence mouth and not just in the Hillary Clinton investigation, but also supposedly in the trumpet Russia collusion investigation- and this has been seen now by a lot of conservatives, as are the last great hope to save from from the Mueller investigation. And this, I think, is an oversell. We know that the FBI, was acting in bad faith and he'll rockland. We don't know that the F b I was acting on Ben in bad faith on the Trump Russia collusion stuff and one of the weird things about this whole memo routine, as I've said, is trunk candy class.
by all the underlying materials that the memo supposedly contemplating can do that right now, but he hasn't in cities allowing the Republicans to charge around this four page memo talk now this memos the smoking gun that shows that the investigation into Trump himself has been corrupted and ruined from the very outset of the FBI has has now responded to the house Intelligence Committee's vote to release the memo by expressing grave concern over the mammals accuracy. So the F B, I released a statement on Wednesday, so they had cortical grave concerns about the accuracy of the top secret Topsecret House intelligence, committee. Memo alleging antitrust, biased than the Justice Department challenging President drums pledged release it, but a few hours after the republic rebuked by the top yours law enforcement agency, a Trump Administration official, said the memo is likely to be released. Today on Thursday did the F B, I said in his statement, quote the f B. I was provided in limited opportunity to review this member
the day before the committee voted to release it has expressed during our initial review. We have grave concerns about material emissions, a fact that fundamentally impact the memos accuracy. So the FBI release this statement. Presumably you would figure Christopher rate from zone. Appointing the FBI had reviewed the statement, be or one doubt so, even he doesn't think this mammal should be released and a compromise national security to now the question is this: do you believe the House Committee? You believe that the Republicans on the house may who say we need to get this information out there, the F B, I acted correctly, already believe the FBI saying that it's dangerous to release this metal and, in fact the memo skews the fact which one deeply. Now it's almost possible. To tell who believe, because we haven't seen the memo where we have actually seen the underlying mental and more than that, we haven't you, the underlying materials in the memo, so we're fighting everyone's fighting right now over a memo that none of us have seen, and we ve heard secondhand accounts. So this is basically an argument from authority on all sides, the worst kind of argument. The worst kind of argument is the argument from authority, the one that says doktor.
so and so said. Act therefore, x is true. I know that's that's out a convincing argument. Devon, Nunez said therefore, it is true, is no more convincing argument and Adam Shift said. Acts therefore x is true or transcend acts. Therefore, x is true or the F B. I said Ex, therefore excess. True, if you don't know what x is it's impossible for you to independently judge whether x is true or not, and I don't trust to any of these people are enough to know whether I believe their accounts of of it's actually in the memo or what happened on from Russia Collusion or any of the rest of it. My own personal supposition is that the memos materials about Hillary Clinton and probably pretty jamming the memos materials about the Trump campaign and an FBI investigation in the trunk. campaign would probably be less so. The allegation- presumably Nunez sort of newness, said this. Yesterday,
The allegation is that the FBI utilised these steel dossier, which was the Apple research dossier, gather by fusion GPS, a democratic apple intelligence firm at the behest of historical, and that the F b I gotta hold that apple research file and used to tell but a Pfizer warrant and car page from foreign policy adviser and that's what launch the entire from Russia collusion. Prob and sore publicans are saying: that's corrupt. You used democratic research, basically followed by Russia to open the Trump Russia probe in the first place, but I'm not sure there's a huge case for that would probably think today they based their original five application on more than just the dossier, the base and unjust the dossier, the problem. But even then there is a fine warrant out for Carter. Page, you know tapping his phone, since two thousand fourteen to car page has been on the FBI's rate. Our long before president Tromp was an issue and long before he was on trumps campaign. So in any case, just because the F b I did stuff wrong
quit investigation doesn't necessarily mean they did anything. Oiling the Trump Russia Investigation, Republicans by tying the two together by suggesting the F B. I screwed up the current investigation. Therefore, there out to get Trump saying that is, is jump, its illogical leap and it makes Republicans look, went there actually trying to take down the FBI in order protect Trump, as opposed to looking at the facts on the ground. Are Democrats, on the other hand, have been saying that the FBI is clean all the way through So they went partisan hats as well. So the Republicans, what my partisan hat by tying together, what we know about FBI malfeasance on Hilary and what we don't know about FBI malfeasance on Trump and then democratic, like hacked by saying the the eye, is clean and purer driven snow and has been all along. So again, this leaves us with the who'd. You trust scenario now be. The Trump administration is now telling major get over it. Cbs news that the memo is not one to be approved today that it will instead be sent back to House Intelligence Committee tomorrow with reactions from the White House based on internal consultations with the FBI and other agencies, so the FBI,
advice and the Trump administration will take their advice and strike out some of the language, and then the White House will not release the memo but send it back to committee for its release on its own time. able meaning that they would vote again to release the memo on interim potency anything and then, after five years would come out, which means that we drag this in the next week or explain what that means politically, and I will also go through the battle that has ensued over the memo in just a second. But first I want to say thank you to our sponsors. Over man. Creates men create start com. This is, best place, divine amazing gifts that your man will love. I, ladies gentlemen, we're not going to discriminate based on sexual orientation.

I promise you and if you think they don't like to break things. They'll have to break things. Ok, so, let's get back to back to memo five. Twenty eighteen amused this voice all day, long memo point twenty eight! So now we know according to major near it at the White House, will not in fact release the memo today. The memo will be released, presumably next week, rather next week, we'll find out
the next week will find out what exactly is in the memo and as I say, I think, overblown on pretty much every side, but you can see the two sides battling it out: Tobin Representative, Mark meadows, member, the Freedom Caucus representative from Apple North Carolina. He comes out its has Devon noon. who is the out of the House Intelligence Committee, he has a duty to inform Congress about abuses and that's why the memo is written. Chairman Nunez has an obligation and the obligation to inform Congress when there has been Pfizer abuses, and so all is doing, is falling on his constitutional duty to let us know about that. Ok, so that is the republican attempt to justify the memo, and then the Democrats, I dont release the memo. Now when the Democrats, you don't really scenario at me, Republicans who becomes somewhat conspiratorial on this thing. While there must be something in it, they don't want seen by. Why wouldn't want released mentally we're, not gonna, take Democrats in good faith when Democrats and we want to protect the intelligence community. There is a certain irony to the Democrats yelling and screaming about protecting the FBI. When these
years under Bush, ripping the CIA and the rest of the intelligence community up and down all that I'm all over it. Suddenly, the FBI, the best friends but there's an attack the democratically to take Germany gin Democrat from West Virginia Centre. He says: don't released the mental, but you say that the president is trying to get from us in this refers, and please note that it is absolutely first of all. people evens legal reveal sources, Devon, Nunez, okay, this is a man that was sanctioned by his own committee, members that he couldn't be on the russian probe. This is a person. Basically this kind of shoots from the hip, and I said he is, and Nunez has neutered the credibility of this intelligence committee on the House, the Senate intelligence committees, the only thing that we have left that can put confidence in the system and also
The investigation, so Nunez Nunez did to recall Nunez back in April. When I visited the White House and there he saw documents that he said suggested the members of the Obama administration unmasked, members of the Trump administration in Pfizer warrant situations. So I am asking is a process whereby, when, when officials first get reads on wiretaps that there are between foreign agents for people who wiretapping an american citizens. The names of the american citizens are hidden to protect the privacy. The members the administration can ask for those names to be unmasked. Susan rice presumably did that with MIKE Flynn, the former national security adviser when he was talking with members of the russian government or members of the turkish government and Devon Nunez said this was a misuse of her authority and then he was sort of forced to refuse himself hidden, technic lyricism somebody sort of accuse himself from the russian investigation, but he maintained that he was going to continue looking into FBI malfeasance with regard to, for example, obstruction justice as well as the Hilary investigations. All this gets rather complicated, but devices said Anne
and Nunez is a is a controversial character and Democrats are seizing on that. Adam shift, democratic, California, he's been leading the charge every day. The Trump Russia collusion is real. He goes on CNN routinely. It's like he has an office staked out there. in any of his own green room, just labeled with his name Adam ship, and he has been doing everything
from Russia collusion Israel. Now he says that you release this memo would smear the FBI. Sadly, we can fully expect that the present United States will not put the national interest over his own personal interest, but it is a sad day indeed when that is also true of our own committee, because today this committee voted to put the president's personal interest, perhaps their own political interest above the national interest in denying themselves even the ability to hear from the department and the Fbi- and that is, I think, a deeply regrettable state of affairs, but it does show how, in my view, when you have a deeply flawed person in the oval office, that flaw can in fact the whole of government and its aim. Tragically infected our committee, so ship is gifted and making in town like partisan, talking point an unfair, partisan talking point, but this is in fact a partisan talking when we don't know whether the memo smears the F B. I because we have seen the metal
no other FBI's defending itself by trying to keep the memo hidden. We just don't know. Democrats, of course, are suggesting that Only reason Republicans are one release. The memo is too columella investigation. Speaker of the house, Paul Ryan, has suggested that the memo is employed, We because it reveals visor bid that it reveals FBI abuses in the Heller Investigation, but this isn't necessarily an attempt to stop Leaving, Mahler Investigation, and I think it's important distinction. If republicans we're making that distinction day in and day out, they have a lot more credibility on this issue. There are not making that distinction they are making. It sounds, though, if the Why did the wrong thing on Hillary Clinton? That means we have to stop the mother investigation. That makes it look like their wielding there, their evidence of of
earlier by the FBI and the Hilary investigation, or to protect from from his own collusion or from his own potential criminality, that's exactly what represented Jackie Spire Democrat. I said about the republican attempts to release this metal, but you're saying this morning that there is dangerous, classified information, and yet it should not be released absolutely and why the Republicans minimalist, because the president wants to pursue this idea that somehow the dossier was related, that the dossier is representative of why this whole investigation began. Okay, so near misses the democratic take em. All those democratic been trying really hard to stop the memo from coming out ass last night, Adam Adam came out, and he said that the memo should not be released because the version of the memo memo, those approved by the House Intelligence Committee, was not the version of the memo. Those sense of the White House, the Devon Nunez, actually changed the memo itself and then sensitive
Why has he released a letter? Any tweeted up breaking discovered late tonight that Bridge Chairman Nunez made material changes to the metal be sent to the White House. Changes not approved by the committee White has therefore reviewing document. The committee has not approved for release. A trump is attempting to prevent the stalemate here by just sending the memo back to the House Intelligence Committee. Essentially, Nunez responded by slapping chief and suggesting that instead quoted There's one units as spokesperson work and its increasingly strange attempt for publication of the memo that can many minority is now complaining about minor added to the memo, including grammatical fixes into edits, requested by the FBI and by the minority themselves, and then they continued by suggesting and so shift has had. The Nunez made substantive changes, Vanunu spokespersons I quote, the vote released. The memo is absolutely procedurally sound and in accordance with thousand committee rules to suggest otherwise it, but to start a bizarre distraction from the abuses detail the memo
So all of this, I understand, is really confusing. It's really confusing why there, but here's the bottom line Republicans either want this mammal out because they want to discredit the FBI with regard to the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton, or they want this mental out because they think it's gonna end the mother investigation. If the latter, we must see evidence if the latter, we must see evidence, otherwise it's just a cover up attempt. And meanwhile, if the memo comes out- and it does show evidence of these things and Democrats we're trying to cover up the memo, then that is to a partisan hack attempt to protect the FBI's that the F B, I can continue its investigation into Trump, and if it turns out there is evidence of the FBI malfeasance and from Russia collusion then, and the F B, I was using national security as an excuse to shut down public knowledge of that fact, then that would seminary
certain level of corruption inside the FBI as well so bottom line. Is this either somebody's line or everybody's line? There's no situation in which nobody is lying, either the Republicans our line when they say that the FBI has been compromised and they are just trying to comfort from or the Democrats rely when they say the FBI is Crystal clean and quote Crystal clear and therefore, and therefore any attempt to shut down any investigation is is an attempt to protect trump, so somebody is lying here or its possible everybody's. A little bit lying is possible. The Republicans are telling the truth about the affair and Hilary but lying about the afghan from brush up it's possible. The Democrats are telling the truth about the affair and from Russia, but lying about from about the FBI and Hilary it's possible. The drum doesn't know it's going on its possible from those fully what's going on and thinks that this is going to be an excuse for him to fire. The deputy attorney general rod rose in Spain or get rid of people inside the FBI, who are involved in any mother investigation. We just don't know yet jazz I've been saying now for a couple of weeks. It is imperative that we sit and wait for the answer.
Again. It is not something where we can, where we can just jump to particular conclusions, especially not having seen the underlying documents and not having seen the underlying classified madeira. It does make me suspicious by the way that the White House is sending me memo back with FBI changes and not just releasing it. I got suspicious simply because I think that what it looks like is it is the White House doesn't want to have his fingerprints on this thing, but the White House he's gonna have its finger prints on the thing, no matter what they did in the media. I think are rightly going to assume that the DIN Trump Administration was coordinating with the Republican House Intelligence Committee in coming up with this memo, I'd be shocked if there was no coordination again, if you just reverse the situation pretended these were Democrats, doing this I'd, be justice suspicious. So I'm trying to be a little bit objective here. If the Democrats
We couldn't were under investigation by the FBI for collusion with a foreign country or from structure of justice, and then the Democrats came up with a four page memo suggesting that the intelligence community was sponsible at four of the deep state was out to get Hillary Clinton. I would think the same thing Democrats are thinking today. This smells the smells, so that means that the burden on Republicans to come out its natural evidence here is pretty high, particularly when you have all the Republicans rushing to the microphones to explain that this memos to change everything that is going to change everything while in just a second, I will explain a couple more scandals that our brewing, yes, believe it or not more scandals brewing because it just never stopped it just doesn't stop. But first, I would say thank its responses. Over at dollar shape So you have heard me talk about the glories of the dollar shave club razor.
As I say I use on my neck, I can't use it above the draw line for jewish ritual purposes. However, other people in the office also use dollar shave club the shape is just phenomenal from dollar shave club and they have everything right. It's not just razors anymore. They have doktor carver. Shea butter they'll have products for your hair for your face, your skin for your shower. They have me looking and feeling amaze me. Look you just look at me. I'm incredible! Looking, ok, that's because of doktor of dollar shave clubs, products, ok, and then I smell great as well. You can smell me through the camera. If you could, let me tell you it's devastating. I am just I smell fantastic, and that is because of dollar shave club amusing. Their products are used dollar a club for pretty much everything, I've, the razors. I have the body cleansing the Hare Joe and yes, in the Shapiro household. We even have the fabled long sought. After about wipes, ok, so right now is a great time to give dollar shave clever tripe. They are first month their best razor, along with travel size version of Shea butter body closer and yes, even the fabled, somewhat mythical, but wipes for just five dollars
ethical, the very real, the very real, but they have materialised after thousands of years of people telling of their glories. After that, the replacement cartridges ship for just a few bucks month. It's the dsl stars. I get yours for just five dollars exclusively at dollar shave club, that comes lifespan, that's dollar, shave, club, dot, com, Slash Van Gogh and check it out. Right now makes a good Valentine's day get for they guy in your life's a dollar shave, clubbed outcomes, lifespan and again, when you use to slash pending at the first month of their best razor alone with travel, size versions of the shave, butter, the body cleansers and the incredible. But why? for just five dollars and then just a few bucks month after that to keep the cartridges coming, sets a lot less expensive than going to your local store and picking up all of these products just check it out. Dollar shave, clubbed outcomes, lifespan useless life Bennet, so they know that we say you, ok, other scandals Bruin. So one of the other scandals that broke late last night is that Mark corral was a former legal spokesperson is planning on telling Robert Mueller, according to the New York Times about a previously undisclosed conference,
which led him to believe that whole packs of special aid to the President of the United States was going to obstruct justice. Or or sell here is what the New York Times Ass quote. Mr Corral corral is planning to tell Mr Miller about a previously undisclosed conference. Call with Mr Trumpet OPEC's, though, why has communications director? According to three people, Mr Coelho plans tell Investigators- and this Hicks said during the call that emails written by Donald Trump Junior before the trunk tower meeting, in which the younger Mr Trump said he was eager to receive political dirt about MRS Clinton from the Russians quote we'll never get out. Bailiff, Mr Corolla, with concerns that mistakes could become contemplating obstructing justice the people said in a statement on Wednesday away from six strongly denied MR corrals allegations. So she is denying she's issues suggesting that this is untrue. Even if the allegation is true that you said it would never get out, implication necessarily him, and this would be. The legal defence of our lawyer is not necessarily medium and destroy the documents. It just might be nobody
discover that these males exist right. How are they gonna know is a closed loop, but with all of that said, they obviously did come out and if it turns out that the Trump administration knew about the emails from from junior to a russian connected Boyer offering russian help in the election and that these from the demonstrations than was complicit in destroying materials, then you do fall foul of obstruction. Laws get structure actually requires destruction of documents under one of the statutory framework, and that means that if the trumpet ministration tried to destroy materials, that could very well be instruction. Trump may not be complicit in that, but if OPEC's gets rolled up into that, then you can see how pics getting rolled up and Donald from Junior getting well that things can get very ugly very quickly. In other words, if this story is true hope pixies denying its all see how that plays out. Meanwhile, There's another story coming up comments is so many leagues, a new report from CNN Deputy attorney general rod. Rosen Stein was essentially asked
he was loyal to the president. When the deal J official visited the White House last month to seek assistance from the President rose and Senegal there to ask if Trump could help him stave off document demands from House Intel Committee Chair, diminution as personal. I dont know why Rosen Sty was asking that why not just have a document to overturn Nunez, but the president, apparently according CNN, had other priorities ahead of a key appearance by Rosen sign on the hill Trump wanted to know where the special councils, russian the action was heading and he wanted to know whether Rosen Stein was quorum quote on my team. So that's not a giant surprise. Presumably he had asked James call me if, if he was loyal to Trump and of all the things that trumpet said this is the one that I find, maybe least objectionable, just because not zero. What about us, but here some. What about as an Eric holder was the attorney general for Morocco Bomb went around openly calling himself brought about his wing man. So the idea that the FBI deputy director is somehow completely separate from the dead did that does not have any direct or for the FBI but the, but that the deal
J assistance Attorney General Debbie is very general, is somehow not supposed to be loyal to the President of the United States. If that were true, I would like to hear where the I'm a patchwork. Generic holder was pledging loyalty openly on camera to Barack Obama. I'd like to know why everybody's ire was then so there's been made. Attempts here to suggest that Trump was asking for worldly test because he's trying to quash the mother investigation again in order to show obstruction, you actually have to show an attempted obstruction. Asking people whether they are oil is not an attempted obstruction. Firing. People who work for you is not an attempt, destruction and attempted obstruction is when you actually our number one attempting to obstruct the investigation. So if he would tell Mahler that the investigation must find him innocent or who will be fire, thou be obstruction or if you destroy documents, thou be instruction. Every fires Malirchen Ivan Clear, that's instruction because he does have the statutory authority to do that. Right is that criminal obstruction? Maybe that's? How are you
trouble, but it's not necessarily criminal obstruction in case of that's the another piece of news on the scandal front. Furthermore, you can see that the FBI is trying to restore its own credibility. After all, the accusations by us in the Hillary Clinton probe according to see and emails obtained by ASEAN and show that Peter struck the FBI agent at the centre of a capital hailstorm played a key role in a controversial f b. I decision that up ended Hillary Clinton campaigns just days before the twenty six election. The letter to Congress by then FBI I prefer to call me announcing. The bureau is investigating newly discovered quaint emails apparently struck drafted. The original draft of the of the letter. They call me ended up. to Congress that ended up probably affecting the outcome of the election rights that is beyond. That is a new piece of information, and the idea here is to sort of rehabilitate struck the ideas that struck wasn't corrupt, struck, wasn
to save Hillary Clinton. He wrote the letter that reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton, but that does not tell the whole story, because it is also true that struck the head expresses doubts about whether the investigation should go forward or the importance of the new emails that were found yeah, he didn't want for economies, have call me one that letter veracity had a draft letter. I mean that sort of his job. That is the real problem for struck. Is these the text messages exchange between him and his lover, LISA page showing that struck? openly talking about how Hillary Clinton needed to be let off the hook, because she might be president at some point with all of this in the when one of the worst thing that can happen to the country? Right now, is the is the level of vitriol to which this is now risen. Right, because we're talking about the destruction of the FBI is a credible institution. We're talking about the destruction of both political parties as credible institutions, and everybody needs to turn down the rhetoric a little bit. Unfortunately, there just turning it up Steve King from Iowa Republican from Ireland
He says it again. Mrs Bonino, memo is earthshaking. It is worse than Watergate we're about to find out that the entire deep state was aunt again. Trump we're gonna have to Congress. Does oversight. We cannot accept that the FBI or the deal J or any other branch of government from closing their gate in front of us. A saying sorry. You can't look at this because as classified then what I saw, what I believe happened could go on in perpetuity and we become a banana republic. What would this is urgent shaking and it does do a deeper than Watergate and memo don't want anything at all right or any means. How does it deeper than water than Watergate Edit? How is it deeper, because the FBI and the deal J by the information that I have observed and the testimony that I have to say that tests Warner that I have analyzed from listening to and questioning
multiple members are the FBI. The deal J tells me that at the idea of J have been weapon eyes, so that's it priest, that's pretty strong allegation by Steve King of course, and then, on the other hand, you fill Monday the National Security Analyse for CNN, and he loses. Nunez memos again. The rhetoric here is so hot and it's so high and the reality is. Nobody seemed the memo. Nobody knows what that talking about seeking may have read the memo, but seeking is also a partisan Republican. So that means you haven't seen it. I haven't seen its. We have no basis for judgment. All we have are these people who either trust or region
Rest here is still minded presenting the opportunity and going nuts I'm in the union is memo Gimme a break. I'm a break the camera here in a moment or have you ever worked in Washington DC? I've worked at the highest levels of the FBI, the sea. I worked on the National Security Council in the White House in the midst of the highest profile investigation of political corruption. We ve seen since a nineteen seventys in the midst of a precedent of cooperation between the Congress, including Devon units in the White House. Do you think it was a secret that congressional officials were preparing a memo of this import and nobody knew at the White House you gotta be kidding me. I want to tell you the moves made of greed, cheese. I'm not saying there is cooperation on that same yours collusion, I'm saying in that small town of Washington DC that to suggest that nobody at the White House do the congressional staffers were discussing a memo of this import is that's ridiculous. It's not about whether Devon Nunez coordinated its, whether somebody new
A cup of coffee I talked about it and to tell me they didn't, is just stoop. Ok, so everybody is going nuts over this stuff. We will find out we'll find out by next week. Let's put it this way. If the riff, the memo turns out to be a giant nothing the blow, that will be very intense if the memo turns out to be nothing and it turns out that the Trump Administration was attempting to set up the memo as a way to take down the Malerba instigation. There will be intense blow back and it will be deserved if the Republicans decide that they went forward with a memo. That was an attempt to take down the mother investigation or if they move off the way they have been for the past few weeks. It's such a you're in business and in life, is a simple rule that allows you to do. We too happier life under promise over deliver right sage. Sage say what the mental its Reginald Paul Ryan, I think, was rightly trying to do. The memo is about FBI. Malthus.
In the whole reclined investigation and other FBI malfeasance, and we see the memo. You'll know whether it's important or not, and let it speak for itself, but instead everybody pitches, what they're doing, and that means that if they pitch more than they can deliver, there's can be allowed to disappoint the disappointment and disappointment in politics is absolute poison. Ok, well in just the second we'll get you some things and some things that I hate and also an amazing segment Dynamics NBC, but for all that, you're gonna have to go over to daily wired our common subscribes for nine ninety nine a month.

stitch at any of the any of the podcast apps will have our our podcast, because, of course we are the largest fastest growth conservative Pakistan asian already so lean in other news. Media are beginning to realise that they may be out over their schism like a Wolf book, Michael wolves. Fire in theory has turned out to be a load of fresh, which we said essentially at the time it is very juicy load of crap, but it is trash nonetheless, and so Michael Wulf, the author fire which is now sold. Something like two million copies promoted at the Grammy's by Hillary Clinton has been promoted by every major media. Outlet is treated as a serious work. Even though, is completely fictional ized in part, and it was basically ass, told by Steve at an even Saturday, livening rightly marked so Michael Wolf as a sort of Steve, then tool in writing fire. In theory, Michael Wolf appears on Amazon. See this morning said earlier this morning.
and wolf had implied over the last couple of weeks, then Nicky Hayley was having an affair with president from like this was the actual implication which just ridiculous. There's no evidence of that whatsoever and, finally, finally, micawbers skis had nothing. Here's how that knows. The waiter Cyrus thing that I would just like the language is not in big. You was in any way with the things that you ve said in the way you ve come. I stated: are you kidding here on the set of mourning Joe? We dont be asked here once read me the language kidding me, I'm not reading you anyway, the bill, if you don't get a ghastly body about. I am sorry citizen outward you're here on the set with us, but we're done like of all. Thank you. Gotta go to
break now. Some regions give Rosemont the said because it sexist everything about Mickey, Alias Access, but implying that tramples a crazy person. All of that is totally in bounds, and it was the spirit of it was true. Make a bridging ski two weeks ago said that Michael Wolf's book has problems, but the spirit of the book is true, because the problem of building up crazy people, like Michael Wulf, the problem building a bad sources like like a wolf. Ok, the reality is that Michael Wolf is a smear merchant. He always was a mere merchant and one of the funniest things of the day is watching. Michael Wolf go after he hears you see now going after make. A Brzezinski is actually tweeting out he treated out earlier today quote. Let me repeat: Nicky Hayley has chosen to vociferously deny something she was not accused up, and she said my bad. The president is right about Mika and I remember the president of the United States into the nickel was a liar and that she'd come to him with a bloody face and he didn't want her to his advantage. Her face was bloody and you won't reload from after meagre heart. Now, Michael Wolf, who has built up a meagre origins, gives very very
angry is the last time I was on morning, Joe off camera Joe and are eager to gossip about who trump might be sleeping with You said it would be really be hard to gossip more eagerly off camera than meagre YO gossip, so this snake in the grass and the problem of letting a snake India has eventually he's gonna bite you and that's exactly what happened to make abrasion ski so make us getting all sorts applauded. She did the right thing here, obviously, but why was it that for literally weeks, meagre and there s no media were building up my go off, and this just shows Eu India there to tension bias in the media. Biased number one, media piece of pcbs number one. The media is the notion that you can buy as a story read that a story comes through and read it in the in the most ridiculous possible sense in the most anti conservative possible sense. That's one form of biased. The other form of bias is to have on Syria. Of guests, who all do that for you so haven't Michael Wolf on MSNBC, is one example of this another example. This Ellen's ungenerous just here Michelle Obama, wise Michelle
on with Ellen Degenerous. Why she relevant? The answer is she's not right. She's she's, not launching a new programme, now she's not doing anything important. She just doing her first interview since she left the White House, but here's what Michelle Obama sat in this came out this morning. What people are afraid, but then there are people who feel good about the direction of the country's. I mean that's what makes this country complicated because is made up of so many different people from different backgrounds, and that's all that's what told Degenerous. When asked what advice should give the people find the words we a scary place right now. The thing I learned in the eight years I was in the White House- is that what we do every day in our lives the good things that we do every day and we know we do what we can
empathy. We care for each other. Here we do have a lot in common, that's what it means to leave with hope and not fear. I would just encourage your viewers, the country to do the things we do every day to love each other, to take care of each other. To show empathy- and you can't do that only when people make you feel good or safe, we ve got to do it all across the board. We have to be an open, hearted nation, that's who we are so there's another form of biased have on Michelle Obama to to do just lecture us pap about empathy by the lad said many times before. Empathy and politics is poison, so But the is useful. Empathy is wrong. The recent empathy is wrong because we put yourself in somebody shoes your immediately taken yourself out of everyone else. Issues right, if you have empathy one person. It means that you are feeling what that person is feeling but you're, not feeling what the other three hundred million people in the country are feeling making policy should not be based on empathy, and it is telling the sort of language Michelle Obama uses. Where would the good things that we do? We shall empathy we care for each other,
good things that we do those made a good things, that we feel that the good things that we do actually have to have been benefits Raymond, if you're gonna do something good. You have to benefit somebody, but it's all intends and no delivery for so many forever. So many folks unalaska is just another form of bias. Another form of biased Jimmy Kimmel had on directly after the state union rests the guys from positive America right in and any had on all these folks from from a left wing, podcast all former Obama staffers by the way and Allison positive Merrick. I find it amusing and I think sometimes they have interesting incites I'd like to hear from perspective, but the idea that you would Jimmy can will ever have me on ever in a million years. Our research is about the same size. Positive merit is by the way, because we broadcast more often we have the same number of listeners in aggregate their positive America does when they, even in a million years, consider having me as dogma stated, the union should make em. They answer, of course, is now, but will have on people who are just as partners
more partisan than I am, I mean all I'll hit Trump. What I think is wrong: the positive American dies. I I think they actually have a shrine, Barack Obama and every so often they open up the curtains and they like candles in front of that shrine. It's pretty. Say they were on Jimmy Kimmel. The knight of the state of the union address to analyze from state of the union, address again bias, inaction and then Kimmel demonstrate zone by us, because he decides that it's time for him to push it get out. Who made who died? May Jimmy camel the Moral Authority and countryman than that. The guy who used to have women grab him the grab a short and tell him what was in his pants on Mantua PC. Honestly, I feel bad saying all this doubling of hit Jim Kamal so many times but its own downfall them in here. He feels like a nice person. I know a lot of people no Jimmy communities really nice, genuine fellow and I feel I can be a good guy to hang out with, but This idea that he knows anything about politics that he's a moral authority is really You can have as opinion but wanting its opinion. Then I get to knock him for his opinion because
opinion, is just wrong in many of these cases. Cause is not based on the facts, so in any case he he has. He does a stick about how dreamers ought to be let in the country and Obama, Obama was nice and, from his cool never mind the fact that tramples about let in three times as many dreamers as Obama ever was very pleasant, legalised that any dreamers so Kimmel decides that he's going to do this routine, where he has a bunch of people who oppose Jack. I meet a Dreamer family
he's gonna how much we will oppose Dac amid a Dreamer family, and this is how the again is it tongue bias in the media. This is this: is it in spades? This is as Miranda and this is her daughter rose and as morale they came here. How old were you when you came to this country? You two years old, Parrish brought you here from work, Mexico City for Mexico sitting. You have a baby now and you are a darker recipient. You signed up. You did a background check. You are fingerprinted, you have a job, you pay taxes, you gotTA nursing school. How many of you I think it would be right for us we're all to be sent back to Mexico country that she's, never known. Ok, any idea here is to show how mean these guys aren't. Of course, too, of the two of the people who are there are trumpets right, one is wearing had this has made California great and in another one is wearing, have make Amerika great again and of course, its two white guys. You kind of look slovenly- and this is this- is the ideal
then it's a bunch of racist, want to do this and then a woman whose raising her hand, as well as a whole, women in the audience is now raise your hand into other women till the females are the moral voices in this pale? Now you can. You can point out that there are dreamers who listen, what I send admiral, the back. I wouldn't that it I mean so long as she's a benefits of american society, but you can be in favor of a policy and still know that there are sympathetic people who maybe who may be hurt by the policy, and it happens all the time, I'm in favor for I'm getting rid of about a camera, their people who benefit from America. Clearly there are some people who benefit from a bombing here and I get it but in favour of getting rid of a bomb occur. I am in the reason, I'm in favour of getting rid of homage areas, because I think that over the broad, was of human beings. It will be better for America to get rid of Obamacare than event than to maintain Obamacare. this is the way to media buys the cases they were like. Would they ever do this with a bunch of people for sanctuary cities like would Jimmy can will ever have a bunch of left wing activists from San Francisco sit there and talk to the families that Donald Trump mentioned or and state of the union address
When they never happen. Would he ever just have the two families member there that you black families, whose daughters murdered by by an illegal immigrant? What would he ever have those families confront? People who are found sanctuary is, of course not, of course not. This sort of media biases, what frustrate so many people and the right what I think wrongly allows them to engage more reactionary politics where they say that all news is fake news or dry anything media ever say, but when members the media do this routine, particularly members, the cultural media do this, it makes us all not, and it should make us all not because it is sad to say me Jimmy Fallon. the most aid political of those has fallen in the rating, specifically because he is most political of the house, because left wingers are now turning into Jimmy Kimmel. To get there feel good moment, for there are left his power takes in a way that they are not for Jimmy Phelan. I'm not a fan of of either
camel or fail. In fact, I think chemicals funnier than Fallon, but I think that a political comedy is is, is going by the wayside here and that's simply too bad. So again, I think that this is it. This is just more evidence of a media, this biased they they hold up. They they set up situations deliberately in order to achieve certain results. I talked about this a little
on save Rubens show with Jordan Petersen yesterday the what the media do in order to gain results and that's why people like me: people like Jordan, the people like SAM Harris. We may disagree in politics, but if we refuse to accept the bait that the media are presenting, if we refuse to acknowledge the situation that the media are putting us in order to try and drive us to certain conclusion were seen as outlined in this is, I think why there are so many people. Listen to us did that the media set up routine is getting old and I think most people know it ok time for a couple of things I like and then some things that I hate. So let's do a thing like we're doing bought this week and one of the great piece of music of all time, of course same path. Saint Matthew, passion by Johan Sebastian, Buff, one of the ones
things well off. His back was deeply deeply religious guy, and that comes through in his music or one of the things that that is fascinating. Again, I just where this project out of him now middle that bath biography. Then I told you about I wanna things. This fascinating is that both thought that there was a system to music. He thought that there is a natural ear to music, that your your ear resonates to certain melodies and certain harmonies, which obviously is true, and he also felt that there are certain rhythms and counter points that you,
here is attractive to? In other words, there are certain natural laws of music that you can divine using a reason. It sounds very familiar it's because this was basically the idea of the founding fathers that that natural law, natural rights, where things that you could derive from nature, rather self evident truths in government and their self evident truths when it comes to music and bath felt. This promise felt this Beethoven felt this military felt. This of the various musicians in history felt this as we move away from that notion that there is an objective musical truth out there that can be discovered and access and toward the idea that all music is subjective. Music has gotten significantly worse. It is impossible to listen to say, Matthews, passion and listen. two pot music and think that there is no objective difference between the two. There is a very large objective difference between the two and anybody who doesn't believe that anyone things all art is equivalent that all art is of equal quality or equal genius or equal beauty. Those people are fools that again here he hears Saint Matthew, passion by BAR
This is an amazing peace. It's very long couple hours say: Matthew, passion, minutes it, but it's a it's incredible piece of music, ok time for from sublime to the ridiculous time to do some things that I hate soap thing that I hate number one numeral will know so Tommy, who was ousted from Blasi after she went on the view and talked about why pro life people were basically stupid, and now she is
Sean Hannah. You shall where she gets her final thoughts, which I think is an app description of her segment final thought. So I they say she in any case Tommy. I think Tommy's, nice person, I've met Tommy. I think that you know maybe she's, maybe maybe she's trying, but this is not going to place a time he said. Tommy was giving her response to Joe Kennedys Writ responds to the state of the union address, and here is what you came up with. If you haven't yet have the displeasure of watching that little lit response to President translated the union, I suggest you take some petty business or some might or whatever you need to do to get right, because it was cafe and it was embarrassing all my working so he's going from, shows more limp bleep, and then she also said something about how he was a ginger, something that this need that this idea that that Tommy learn is some sort of of thought. Leader for Servants should be humiliating the conservatives
Tommy Lear is. Not a thought leader for conservatives. Tommy learn is a pretty woman If a woman who says things mean that's, that's it that's it and she says inflammatory things, and if people resonate too, that is because people have a short attention Ben by Tommy as brag about not reading books. Ok, one of the reasons you need to read books a silly. You have better response, you, Joe Kennedy than just that he is a limp, bleep ginger. Ok, you need some actual content as to why you think that he's wrong. Otherwise having arguments were just insulting each other, and it's just I hate this kind of stuff
really really do. I think that in I listen I'll drop insulting language every so often, but nothing of that magnitude, and I attempt to support my arguments not with insults but but with actual data conservatives, if you're young conservative in you're. Looking for somebody to look up to, I'm not saying you have to look up to me, you don't you, there are plenty of people to look up to. All. I'm saying is that you should probably sear away from the people who do this kind of stuff. Just read a book. It's it's not worthwhile! Ok, other things that I hate so apparently- and there is an immigrant group that decided to watch from state of the union, address and demonstrate their their cultural sensitivity. I guess they decided to throw shoes at the wall. This is what it looks like
in some funny exert during shoes. You get a good example embrasures now, what's funny about the throwing choosing this non american thing, the thrilling shoes thing I mean like it, then there's no history of Americans throwing shoes out the wall. When people speak, though ass. I remember somebody thorny issues when George W Bush was in Iraq and in the middle of the press conference, a guy for a shoe Adam and Bush ducked out of the way, remember that and bite. But this is, I think, demands river, the level of victory, Alan anger, that people hold against Trump and its policies. Imagine if Republicans did this their there'd be talk of any one of our most present there be talk of
They are promoting violence that promoting assassination their promoting actual physical harm toward the President of the United States. People do this against Trump and suddenly it's totally fine, so vitriol exists on all sides, but it's only called out on one and that's one of the places where I have a serious, serious, prom. Ok, final thing that I hate so there's a great article by Catherine, Kirsten over at weekly standard, describing these social justice Factory in the city of Edina Edina Minnesota has a public school district, and these public schools have now been unravelling academic rigour. Why? Because there there actually mandating that students read books like children, small children need looks like
if we're activist- and this is for- like tiny kids, like kids- were third graders s practice tee by the way in that book is for France, which is something you definitely want to be teaching about the seven year olds about, and then there is it there. They may posters with gay rights flags and they make posters with police brutality and black lives matter right. Apparently, according to the weekly standard, the show begin. Twenty thirteen when Edina School leaders adapted the all for all strategy plan, a sweeping initiative that reorder the districts mission for academic excellence from economic, academic excellence, frosty racial equity Equity does not mean equality or fairness; it means racial identity, politics, an idea the blames minority students, academic challenges on institutional racial bias, repudiates Martin Luther King Colorblind Ideal and focuses on uprooting white privilege so what do I do? It mandated that, henceforth, all teaching and learning experiences would be viewed through the lens of racial equity and then only racially conscious teachers and administrators should be hired. District meters assure parents. Reduce ideas, racial achievement gap which they attributed to barrier
rooted in racial construction. Cultural misunderstand is absolute nonsense by the way that if you teach people about black eyes, met It closes the racial gap. There is no evidence of this whatsoever, so now they start teaching. Kids about white privilege in kindergarten tokay to students participate in the melanin project. Students trace their hands, color them to reflect their skin tone and play. the cut out on a poster reading stop thinking your skin color is better than everyone else's everyone especial and then they have racially conscious elementary school principle, who runs a blog for the schools community in and they brought up. Pictures of protesters holding a banner proclaiming gay marriage is our right. I mean this is just ridiculous course. Description for an eleventh great yours, literature and composition course required Since quote by the end of the year, you have learned how to apply marxist feminist, postcolonial when cycle analytical lenses to literature o happy Happy day have outlay. learning to read about that and we're making cans useless before they even have a chance to become useful. It's pretty amazing,
and you wonder why the home schooling movement is getting stain. This is one of the reasons that led the home schooling movement is gaining scheme by the way. Here's the data for years into Edina schools, equity crusade, black students, test scores, continue, disappoint, there's been about a single positive point of data. Blackstone reading scores for all grades have increased from forty five point: five percent proficiency in twenty fourteen to forty six point: four percent proficiency in twenty seventeen, so just marginally right, black students on track for success in reading decreased from forty eight percent. In twenty forty two forty four percent and twenty seventeen math spores decreased from fifty percent proficiency in twenty fourteen to forty seven percent proficiency in twenty seventeen black students on track for success in math decreased from fifty one percent and twenty fourteen to forty four percent and twenty seventeen in high school. The city's scores dropped the most math scores for black students, eleventh greater the genius in your high drop from thirty one percent proficiency
Fourteen percent proficiency in twenty seventeen and in reading and tenth grade Aegina from fifty two percent and twenty fourteen to forty percent in twenty seventeen. So well done everyone valuing the stupidity of identity, politics above the glory of learning. This is what you end up with no shock parents are pulling their kids out of school. If my kid, when that district, I pull my kids out of schools, as was already well we'll be back here to Morrow, presumably with more on memo gave priority to the fight continues with accurate all the updates adventure pair.
