00:00We have Tulsi Gabbard off the top joining us in just a few minutes.
00:03So I need to speed run all of the news.
00:06And there has been an enormous amount of news breaking at the very end of the show yesterday.
00:12Was this bombshell report that we had to like rip through in order to get to the actual
00:17understanding of what they had found at the FBI.
00:21So here's what they found.
00:21They found a locked room, a locked skiff hidden in the bowels of the FBI.
00:25In that room, they had thousands of Russiagate documents that were in burn bags.
00:30Now, these are bags that, as far as I understand, are the kind of bags that are used in order
00:37to conceal evidence and potentially destroy evidence in order to make sure that evidence
00:42never gets out.
00:44Does it mean that they're going to physically set them on fire?
00:47Sure.
00:48Why not?
00:49We'll have Tulsi on.
00:50We'll ask, ladies and gentlemen.
00:52But now we've learned that there is also a Russiagate whistleblower.
00:58Let's go ahead and read a top line from the New York Post this morning.
01:02Trump Russiagate probe whistleblower pressured by Obama intel officials to sign off on 2016
01:07election report.
01:08I need you to say you agree.
01:11Sounds like a threat.
01:12The director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, released a whistleblower account on
01:15Wednesday detailing the pressure campaign that the Obama era intelligence officials applied
01:20to a subordinate to get them to sign off on an assessment.
01:25Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.
01:28Man, these are good questions for Tulsi.
01:30We have the whole timeline.
01:31I want to ask her about the whole timeline with Obama because that's the biggest smoking
01:35gun.
01:35I was pressured to alter my views, the senior intelligence analyst turned whistleblower claimed
01:40in the documents Gabbard used as evidence for her bombshell report earlier this month
01:45detailing a treasonous conspiracy.
01:47Let's ask her about treason, too.
01:48Does treason mean that Hillary Clinton is guilty of treason?
01:51We're going to ask.
01:52We're going to ask.
01:54Is Hillary Clinton guilty of treason for using Russian spy intelligence in order to
02:00spy on Donald Trump?
02:02In order to sabotage Donald Trump?
02:04Not just spy on him, but they did that as well.
02:06To subvert the President Trump's 2016 victory.
02:08Here she goes.
02:10The analyst who worked on a 2016 intelligence community assessment, which determined that
02:14foreign adversaries did not use cyber attacks and election infrastructure after the U.S.
02:19presidential election outcome recalled my concurrence and sought to enable redacted to sway the views
02:27of the defense intelligence agency to sign off on the revised intelligence community assessment.
02:32The new 2017 intelligence community assessment relied on the discredited Steele dossier we're going to ask.
02:40This is the biggest question.
02:41Is Hillary Clinton guilty of treason?
02:44She said that this is treasonous.
02:45We must ask.
02:46Steele dossier claimed that Kremlin orchestrated hackings of the Democrat National Committee and so on.
02:51There is a report that you are not allowed to see, and if you saw it, you would agree.
02:57The analyst recalled a supervisor telling them in early 2017, reviewing the alternative assessment.
03:03Isn't it possible that Putin has something on Trump to blackmail or coerce him?
03:07The supervisor continued.
03:08You need to trust me on this.
03:10Then the whistleblower refused to sign off on the new assessment.
03:13The visibly frustrated superior stated, you need to say you agree with these judgments or they will
03:18go after them so that the DIA will go along with them so that they can continue this hoax down the
03:24process. I remember this conversation very clearly, the whistleblower wrote in the account,
03:28as it is a difficult situation, and I listened and I chose my response with care.
03:33I was aware that defying the National Intelligence Office direction, to me,
03:37misrepresented my views based on the conscious decision to adhere to the intelligence policy
03:42community standards in tradecraft and ethics.
03:46The DIA did not end up joining the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency in the intelligence
03:52community assessment. The documents also showed the whistleblower made repeated attempts to report
03:57concerns about the information used. This would be the Steele dossier to multiple government officials,
04:02including the inspector general and the intelligence community.
04:04And to John Durham. Man, we've got to ask about the Durham, the Durham annex.
04:11Ah, okay. So much to ask. We're like gathering our thoughts here.
04:17The whistleblower put their own well-being on the line to defend the Democratic Republic to ensure
04:22the American people learned the truth about how President Obama directed the creation of the
04:26intelligence community assessment, knowingly promoted falsehoods, claiming Russia had President
04:30Trump get elected in 2016, Gabbard said in a statement. Truth and accountability will ensure
04:36this doesn't happen again. What does accountability look like? What does it look like exactly? What
04:42does it look like? We've got to figure this one out. Crazy stuff is happening. Burn bags, baby.
04:49This is wild. Okay. Very quickly. Cash Patel on Joe Rogan saying, yo, yo, yo, you don't understand. We
04:56found, we found everything. We found everything hidden inside of a locked room. And at the end of
05:05the stream yesterday, this massive story broke. It's the biggest, it was the biggest story the entire
05:10day yesterday. Patel found thousands of sensitive documents, Russia inside of burn bags in secret
05:15room at the FBI. So Cash has been trying to tell us about this. And so is Bongino, actually. They
05:20both said that agents at the FBI said, pulled them aside and said, you got to come over and see this.
05:25You got to come over and see something very dark is going on. Here's Cash sort of previewing this on
05:29Rogan. This was two months ago. Me as the director of the FBI, the former Russia guy, when I first got to
05:35the Bureau, found a room that Comey and others hid from the world in the Hoover building, full of
05:46documents and computer hard drives that no one had ever seen or heard of. Locked the key and hit
05:52access and just said, no one's ever going to find this place. What? Yeah. So my guys are going through
05:59that right now. What's in there? A lot of stuff. I mean, that's the thing. People are like, well,
06:05okay, go arrest them. And I'm like, okay, well, how about you let me run a methodical investigation
06:09while I give over information? So what the hell is this? Let's just read the top line here quickly.
06:15Before the director of national intelligence joins the show, FBI director Cash Pell found the trove of
06:19sensitive documents related to the origins of the Trump Russia probe buried in burn bags in a secret
06:23room in the Bureau. The source told Fox News Digital that the burn bag system is used to destroy
06:27documents designated as classified. Sources told Fox News Digital that multiple burn bags were found
06:32and filled with thousands of documents. Sources told Fox News that one of the documents contained
06:37the Durham annex, the final report that included the underlying intelligence being reviewed. The
06:42declassification of the classified annex is being done right now in close coordination with CIA director
06:47Ratcliffe Patel, Tulsi Gabbard. We have to ask about this. What were they trying to burn?
06:53The declassification annex will be transmitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chairman Grassley.
07:00Sources exclusively briefed Fox News on some of the contents of the classified annex, including that the U.S.
07:04intelligence community had credible foreign sources indicating that the FBI would play a role in spreading
07:09the alleged Trump-Russia collusion narrative before the Bureau ever launched its controversial crossfire
07:14hurricane probe. Do you understand how massive that paragraph is right there? That paragraph, that is the key
07:18paragraph. That is the most important paragraph. That is the paragraph that proves treason.
07:24They knew they had Russian spy documentation. Steele, Christopher Steele, was on the payroll of a
07:31sanctioned Russian oligarch. He wasn't by every weight and measure a literal Russian asset. Hillary Clinton
07:37was using Russian assets, Russian spies in order to write disinformation, malinformation about President
07:44Trump. Then they were laundering it, merchandising it through our intelligence agencies in order to
07:49kneecap Trump. It is the most evil and banal operation that you have ever seen from the deep
07:56state. It is worth 10,000 Watergates. It's worse than anything we've ever seen. The complicity and silence
08:02from the media on this is horrific. Operation Mockingbird, right? Yeah. Got to think about it. Operation
08:10Mockingbird. Is that what's going on here? They parrot, what they're told to parrot, and they shut
08:16up when they're told to shut up. Exactly what's going on. So this is the bombshell right here, ladies
08:23and gentlemen. It's massive. Okay, Greg Jarrett, very quickly. Last night, why would you use a burn
08:29bag? What would you use a burn bag for? Let's go. It could be somebody who didn't want to be the party
08:34to a crime by burning them because attempting to destroy or conceal evidence is the crime of
08:42obstruction of justice, Sean, if it's done to hide documents relevant to a criminal or congressional
08:50investigation or in anticipation of one. So these documents are not just relevant. They may be pivotal.
08:58So that's point number one on obstruction. Point number two is Senator Charles Grassley has been
09:04investigating the collusion hoax and those behind it for years, which is why these burn bag documents
09:12were turned over to him. So the question becomes, you know, who ordered the plan burning? Why did they
09:19do it? Although the why to me seems readily as self-evident. Whoever was involved was trying to
09:25conceal evidence that they didn't like, things that might implicate them. And it doesn't matter
09:31if the material was classified. You still cannot destroy it if it relates to an investigation.
09:41Go ahead.
09:42One of the documents FBI officials allegedly found in the burn bag were the classified annex,
09:49or was the classified annex to former special counsel John Durham's final report,
09:54which includes the underlying intelligence that he reviewed. Why would that be so critical?
10:00To me, that's critical.
10:03Because it likely reveals many of the government actors who instigated and corruptly spread the
10:10phony collusion narrative, despite knowing it was totally untrue. So, you know, see.
10:17Ladies and gentlemen, there it is. That's the setup. That's where we are right now.
10:21And we await the bombshells. Joining us right now is the director of national intelligence,
10:28probably the bravest single woman to ever serve in federal office, Tulsi Gabbard,
10:36live with us. So much to talk about. Let's go.
10:45Director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, welcome back to the program.
10:49Thank you, Benny. It's great to see you.
10:51I am a little bit disappointed that you didn't bring your Captain America shield. We have the
10:55shield right here for anybody who isn't familiar. Tulsi Gabbard, upon her confirmation to her office,
11:02received what I will only classify as a Captain America shield. Does that hang in your office?
11:10No, it hangs somewhere in my building. I have yet to find it, honestly. They didn't let me take it
11:17away. Okay. You got to sign it. All right. That was a pretty cool shield. Yes. Yes. And I assume
11:23that the ascendancy into that building has been a wild ride, given the amount of work that you've
11:31been doing. We've been working hard. We've been working hard to come in on day one and carry out
11:38the mandate that President Trump delivered, that the American people delivered to him,
11:44and to carry out on the commitments that I made when I was, when President Trump nominated me for
11:50this position, was to find the truth, tell the truth to the American people, and work very hard
11:56every day to make sure that the intelligence that we are providing to the president, to his cabinet,
12:02and to policymakers is not politicized, that it is unbiased, objective, relevant, and timely
12:10intelligence that can truly best inform those critical decisions that the president is faced
12:15with making on a daily basis in the interests of the American people and the safety, security,
12:20and freedom of our country. Well, Director, it seems like you've begun a trend because now with some of
12:28the disclosures and declassifications from your office, there are other offices who are making some
12:33pretty shocking announcements. Like, for instance, Director Patel made the announcement that they found
12:38thousands of Russiagate documents in a burn bag, this happened over the last 24 hours, locked in a
12:46secret skiff hidden deep within the bowels of the FBI. So now you have other directors looking in their
12:52departments and finding this kind of shocking. I wonder your reaction to this news.
12:57I wish I could say I was surprised by it, but when people hear the term deep state and you hear about
13:05things like this, these are the actions that have been and are being taken to try to hide the truth
13:11away from us, and really to hide the truth away from the American people. And really, this is why
13:19time is of the essence for us to be able to find these documents. And this is kind of a daily
13:26frustration, to be honest, because I think, you know, from the outside looking in, people say,
13:31hey, why can't you as director just say, give me all of the documents on this topic from across the
13:36intelligence community. I wish it were that easy. And I do send those directives out. But you have
13:44examples just like the one Director Patel uncovered, where you have highly classified documents hidden
13:50away in a burn bag intended for destruction. Thankfully, somebody forgot to actually destroy those
13:59documents, so that he was able to discover them. But there are a lot of different methods and tactics
14:04that unfortunately, bad actors within the intelligence community use to try to hide the truth,
14:10because they're afraid that if the truth is revealed, either they or their friends or, or their
14:16benefactors will be exposed for doing some of the things that we exposed to the American people over
14:23the last couple of weeks, truly politicizing and weaponizing intelligence, creating false and knowingly
14:30creating false intelligence assessments, in order to have a very specific outcome, that in the case of
14:36President Trump in the 2016 election has the effect of undermining our democratic republic, and creating a
14:45fake intelligence assessment based on discredited information, pieces of very shoddy, so called
14:53intelligence that were not acceptable under the intelligence community's tradecraft standards. But they
15:01were used to create this fake intelligence assessment that was used as the foundation for everything that
15:08came after President Trump's election by the American people in 2016, launching essentially what was a
15:1420 years long coup.
15:15Director, could you elucidate for us who are not potentially familiar with what a burn bag is,
15:23why would you keep documents in one? What is the intended purpose of a burn bag?
15:27I have, for example, have classified intelligence that comes across my desk every day. These are
15:35different intelligence reports that are being generated from across the intelligence community. Sometimes the
15:42best way to deal with these documents after I've read them, of course, I don't have the only copy,
15:47is to put them in a burn bag in order to make sure that they don't end up in the wrong hands, either
15:54intentionally or unintentionally. So I have a bag next to my desk that is a burn bag. This is common in many of
16:02the offices of those who work in the national security space or perhaps in the White House. But it's about
16:10securing intelligence and making sure that it goes to its intended recipient, not the janitor who comes in
16:17to empty the trash, for example. But for these highly classified documents to be placed in a burn bag
16:26within the FBI, where apparently they're, at least at this point, I'm not aware of other copies of those
16:32documents existing. This is where we have, to me, what appear to be signs of very clear mal intent to
16:41try to cover up, again, bad actors within the intelligence community. And in this case, we're
16:47talking about at least one of the annexes to the Durham report that, once released, will reveal brand new
16:55information about the FBI's culpability under James Comey, as well as its connection to Hillary Clinton
17:03and her actions in the 2016 campaign.
17:06Yes, the way that this has been framed for those who have been doing the best reporting on it, like John
17:11Solomon, for instance, is that this Durham annex will show that the Hillary Clinton campaign colluded with and
17:20networked with Russian spies through the Steele dossier in order to get Russian disinformation
17:27to be merchandised by our own intel agencies, to be whitewashed through the FBI, and that the FBI knew
17:35that they were doing this, they were complicit in it, and they were co-conspirators in this.
17:40But I, of course, haven't seen the documents, and very, very few people have as they are highly
17:45classified. Could you preview what we're going to learn in this Durham annex?
17:50I won't get into the details now. The document is still going through a declassification process.
17:56It'll speak for itself once it's released to the public. But I think, again, many of the things that
18:04you're talking about won't sound like new information. But what documents like this do is actually provide
18:12the evidence of what led to the results that we know very commonly as the Steele dossier. Again,
18:19something that the FBI knew long before the 2016 election was a discredited document that was created
18:28from a political motivation to try to hurt Donald Trump in his candidacy. The fact that this document,
18:35the Steele dossier, was knowingly used as a quote unquote source in this January 2017 intelligence
18:45assessment that President Obama ordered then his DNI, James Clapper, to produce, along with then former CIA
18:53director John Brennan, is astounding from anyone who's looking at this, even from outside the intelligence
19:02community, that you would have these people in charge of our national intelligence enterprise,
19:08knowingly, willingly, and demanding that this Steele dossier be used as a credible source in this
19:16intelligence assessment. And then going and shopping around this intelligence assessment to Congress,
19:22to the American people, not only as an assessment, but stating as John Brennan and James Clapper did,
19:29that this assessment, they had high confidence. They had high confidence in this assessment. And that's
19:36a technical term within the intelligence community. It's as close of a categorization of assessment that
19:44you could say with near certainty. You know, things are never certain until they are very real and have
19:51actually happened. So within the intelligence community, it's the highest bar that is very difficult
19:57to reach for any intelligence professional to make an assessment with high confidence. The CIA and the FBI
20:05singularly were the only two intelligence community elements that said that January 2017 assessment,
20:12the one Obama ordered that was filled with fault, knowingly filled with falsehoods. Brennan and Clapper
20:19shared that document and its assessment with high confidence. When we talk about accountability,
20:26these are the things that we are talking about. There were no accidents here. All of this was done
20:31intentionally and willfully creating an intelligence assessment filled with falsehoods, specifically to
20:39sell a lie to the American people, to delegitimize the 2016 election, to delegitimize President Trump
20:45and his administration, and use this document as the so-called evidence for everything that would come
20:53after from congressional impeachments, to years-long investigations, to harassment, investigation and
20:59smears against the president and his family, senior officials, some having to serve time in jail. The list
21:05goes on and on. And this is where I think it's important, Benny, to just remind people about the seriousness
21:13of these implications and how it has to do not with Democrats or Republicans, but with every American,
21:18people that have to do not have to pay attention and how it has to do not have to do not have to do not do anything.
21:24And our ability to have faith in the integrity of our elections and that there will be a peaceful
21:26transition of power, peaceful transfer of power. Once the American people's voices are heard in an election,
21:32as they were in 2016 with President Trump, President Obama should have said, the people have spoken,
21:38we will prepare for this transition. That didn't happen in 2016. Instead, they were unhappy that President Trump got elected and
21:46Trump got elected and began this process of creating a manufactured intelligence assessment
21:52filled with falsehoods specifically to undermine and legitimize President Trump's presidency.
21:58You've called these actions treasonous. Stephen Miller has called them seditious conspiracy.
22:06If you lay out the fact pattern, specifically given the Durham annex and what we've heard
22:11reported is going to be in that you'll find that Christopher Steele was working for sanctioned
22:17Russian oligarchs, that many of his sources were Russian spies. This is a document of foreign
22:22interference, and that is definitionally treason. They were using foreign agents in order to affect
22:29and undermine our election. It just isn't the narrative that Donald Trump was doing that.
22:35That's been pushed on us for years. It was the opposite. Correct. It was actually Hillary Clinton
22:40and the establishment at the FBI using foreign intelligence in a treasonous act against our
22:47own government. Am I getting that correctly? You are, yes. And the interesting thing here is,
22:54again, I want to point back to the documents we released because people can go and read for
22:59themselves. Go to odni.gov there. You can click through. You can read the documents for themselves.
23:03This is not my view or my opinion or my interpretation. Go and read the documents
23:09yourself. Look at the emails that were sent from James Clapper's assistant out to the intelligence
23:16community, communicating that this assessment will be created per the president's direction.
23:23Read the documents for yourself. And then you can see as you go through the documents how in the
23:28months leading up to the election, the intelligence community consistently assessed that Russia had
23:35neither the intent nor the capability to be able to influence or swing the election for Donald Trump.
23:42And that's a critical statement there because in the assessment that President Obama ordered,
23:48and you'll again see in the documents with great detail how he wanted an assessment that
23:54delivered intelligence that details how Moscow tried to help Trump get elected. Not if, but how.
24:04And then DNI Clapper and CIA Director John Brennan delivered for President Obama through this
24:12manufactured intelligence assessment, again, based on discredited information and shoddy intelligence
24:19that was weaponized for a very specific political purpose.
24:24You've mentioned multiple times that you have referred these documents for charging by the DOJ,
24:29and there's now a strike force looking into them. What do you expect those charges to be?
24:33I'm going to leave that up to the lawyers. I am not a lawyer, but we have and will continue to give
24:39Attorney General Pam Bondi, their strike force team, Todd Blanche and their team there at the
24:44Department of Justice, every single piece of evidence and documents that we find that continue
24:52to expose the truth to the American people about what really happened and who's responsible.
24:57Something that I thought was very interesting as we were looking through the timeline of the documents
25:00is December 8th and 9th that the President's Daily Brief being pulled and learning that the
25:08President's Daily Brief also went to Donald Trump. And so Donald Trump would have been given
25:12exculpatory evidence were that President's Daily Brief to have gone to his desk via General Flynn
25:18that he that there was no Russian interference in the 2016 election. Do you believe that there was a
25:24political motivation to hold that back so that President Trump wouldn't see that rightful intel?
25:29I have not yet uncovered evidence of that. But in my view, this is too coincidental to be a coincidence
25:37that very clearly when you look at all of the Russia, Russia, Russia rhetoric that came from Hillary Clinton
25:44throughout that campaign. If President Trump then, as President-elect Trump, had seen a President's
25:51Daily Brief, this is an article where the intelligence community views it as being a very highly esteemed product,
25:59that only the best of the best of intelligence gets into this President's Daily Brief. If they had published
26:06that document, which said again that, I'm paraphrasing, that Russia had neither the intent nor capability
26:13to influence the election in favor of Donald Trump or either candidate, then President-elect Trump would have
26:20seen that and said, hey, see, this is what I knew all along, yet Hillary Clinton's been saying all of these things
26:26and making all of these allegations against President Trump and claiming foreign interference. For years, Hillary Clinton
26:32claimed that she would have won the election and been President, if not for Russia. That was an inconvenient
26:39truth. The President's Daily Brief article was pulled. It has never been published until we released it
26:46about a week and a half ago. Instead, this new intelligence assessment was ordered by President Obama
26:52that contradicted directly every other intelligence assessment that had been published prior to the
26:58election, as well as assessments that had been pushed forward after the election. Again, that said the
27:04exact opposite. The timeline is absolutely remarkable. And then this article from the New York Times,
27:10the day that President Obama decided that this would be the narrative, they even run it with a photo of
27:15him. It's shameless. December 9th, stating that their sources are from the administration. And it's already
27:21the pre-baked narrative that Russia helped Trump, even though the intelligence community hadn't done their
27:26assessment yet. That's right. Again, very, very impossible director. They got the message about
27:33what the narrative was supposed to be. They then reached out to their friends in the mainstream media
27:39to start to plant those seeds so that when this assessment came out, it would not be seen as something
27:46shocking or as contradictory as it obviously was to every other assessment that had been put out prior.
27:53And I think, again, this is a good opportunity to point to why many of these mainstream media outlets
28:00have either been completely silent in the wake of these historic revelations, or they essentially
28:07are taking the approach, if they cover this story, they are trying to diminish it, say, hey, there's nothing
28:13to see here. This is a play on words, or these are baseless accusations. They're even trotting out
28:20about a woman, Susan Miller, who claims to have been the author of this 2017 January intelligence
28:29assessment. And she's claiming that everything that I've revealed and released to the public is all false,
28:36that we're the ones who are telling people lies. Well, I've checked in to Susan Miller, as well as checked
28:43in with some of the folks who were in the room when a lot of this was happening. And they have confirmed
28:49through multiple sources that Susan Miller was not the author of this intelligence community
28:55assessment. Once again, the mainstream media trotting out discredited individuals and reports,
29:02because if they actually report the truth, they would somehow have to admit their complicity in this,
29:09as you pointed out, from day one. Yes, from even before the intelligence community assessment,
29:17they were running with the narrative that was decided on December 9, the same day,
29:21the Washington Post and the New York Times. It's shameless when you go back and look at the timestamps.
29:26Yes. Shameless. Very quickly here, if you don't mind moving to one other topic, you made a comment
29:33at a cabinet secretary meeting that has stuck with our audience and they'd really love an update on it.
29:40And it's about the 2020 election. And you were talking about the security of that election.
29:45And you were telling President Trump that there has been evidence that has been uncovered
29:50in of, well, potential breaches. I'm not exactly certain, but I'd love a follow up on this.
29:57Here's the moment right here. And perhaps, do you have any updates on the 2020 election or anything
30:04that you've found, Director?
30:11The point that I was making there in the cabinet meeting was early discovery that I had seen
30:19from a whistleblower who came forward, who was working under CISA at that time, which is responsible
30:26for critical infrastructure and trying to protect against cyber vulnerabilities, critical infrastructure,
30:32including, of course, the integrity of our election systems. And what was interesting was seeing how
30:39this whistleblower brought forward information that CISA at that time, the federal government, was aware
30:45of vulnerabilities in our election machines, but they chose not to disclose that information to the
30:53American people or to the administration at that time. This is an area, of course, of critical
30:59importance, once again, for the American people to have faith in the integrity of our elections and that
31:04it is their voice that is heard through these elections. We're continuing to investigate this.
31:10And when we have information that we are ready to release, you'll hear about it.
31:16Okay, so we're going to be hearing more on the 2020 election and some critical vulnerabilities.
31:20Yes. Yes. Okay. Very good. Our audience was thrilled when you released the JFK documents. It's the gold
31:29standard of declassification. I don't think you get enough credit for it, but you followed through
31:34on President Trump's mandate. There were some alarming things revealed there, but I wanted to touch just
31:40ever so briefly on this. The CIA bumping into Lee Harvey Oswald before he shot JFK, as the official narrative
31:53goes. Your commentary on this, it's something the CIA has tried to keep secret for 60 years,
32:00and now it's out thanks to your office and your declassification efforts. Remarkable.
32:05Yeah. Well, thanks, Benny. I really give credit, all the credit to President Trump because he came
32:10in and issued these executive orders, I think it was within the first week of coming into office,
32:16that mandated that everything that the intelligence community has on the assassinations of President
32:23John F. Kennedy, of Robert F. Kennedy, and of Martin Luther King, Dr. King, must be released to the
32:30American people. Now, in each of these cases, some documents had been released previously either by,
32:36in JFK's case, congressional mandates, but they were highly redacted in many cases. And then in the case of
32:43Senator Kennedy and Dr. King, many of those files had never been released before and were literally
32:49sitting in boxes in storage. And so sending out hunting teams to go and find these documents,
32:56looking in places that people hadn't looked before, really provided us the opportunity to deliver on
33:02President Trump's promise to the American people, for them to see and learn about each and each of
33:08these three cases, incredibly historic and tragic events in our nation's history, once again, to bring
33:15transparency and truth. And I'll tell you what, there are some folks within these intelligence agencies
33:20who fought very hard to keep many of these redactions in place. And it was President Trump. I was traveling
33:27overseas at the time, attending a security conference, and he called me in what was the middle of the
33:33night. I don't remember where I was exactly, but he specifically said, do not redact anything. Don't listen to
33:42anyone else who tells you otherwise. So President Trump really gets all of the credit here because
33:48he made a promise to the American people. He has delivered on that promise. And I'm grateful to be
33:54able to do this work once again, to be able to give the American people what they deserve. And this is
34:00something I share with people who work in my organization is the constant reminder, is we work
34:05for the American people. That means what we do belongs to them. There are national security
34:12considerations, of course, not everything can be declassified. But we work very hard every day
34:19to be able to make sure wherever we can, we can share the truth with the American people,
34:23so they can draw their own assessments and draw their own opinions based on what we're sharing.
34:28One final very quick follow up to that point and to one you made earlier about the media,
34:33the media being used as a propaganda mechanism. We saw it flatly. I mean, I think it's the smoking
34:39gun, quite frankly, of the Obamagate narrative and the Russiagate narrative that it was so baked in
34:44that the New York Times and Washington Post went and ran with it. Some would say that that's part
34:48of Operation Mockingbird. Some would say that as part of what we learned in the church committee,
34:52that the intel agencies were using media outlets as their mouthpieces and that those mouthpieces
35:00would parrot the official narrative. And I wanted to ask you, is this operation still going on?
35:06Are you aware of the intel agencies working directly with media outlets in order to push
35:13prescribed narratives that may or may not be true?
35:17It's something that we've already had to deal with, Benny, within this administration, where there
35:22are people within the intelligence community who believe that their will is more important than the
35:28will of the American people and will weaponize intelligence by leaking it to their friends
35:35within the mainstream media with the intent of undermining President Trump's agenda. It is not one
35:42that he hasn't already talked about in every rally in town hall that he did throughout the campaign. I
35:49don't even know how many there were, but President Trump is enacting the very thing he promised the
35:55American people he would do in this election. So people in the intelligence community, they may
36:00agree, they may disagree. That's not the point here. As intelligence professionals, as people who work in
36:10the national security space, in the intelligence community, they are required to fulfill their mandate to
36:16their oath to the Constitution of the United States and to the President of the United States who is duly
36:23elected by the American people. Those who leak intelligence to their friends in the mainstream media
36:30with the intent of undermining the President who was elected by the American people, none of these
36:35intelligence professionals were. They are subverting the will of the people and therefore undermining the
36:40Constitution. It's wild that you're still having to deal with that. Call it what you will. But Operation Mockingbird,
36:48just incredible that they were just out with it, that they were using the media as government organs
36:54to push propaganda. And it's still happening today. This is why what we're doing is so important,
37:00Benny. And this is why President Trump's mandate in this is really critical, is by exposing the truth,
37:09by exposing the bad actors within the intelligence community and in the political space who are
37:16weaponizing intelligence to advance their own political interests is so important to be able
37:21to turn the light on in places that have been dark for far too long, expose the truth and drive
37:27accountability. That's the only way that we can actually shift this and begin the work to try to
37:32restore trust in the intelligence community. Yes, anybody who's in a healthy functional relationship
37:39knows that you have to trust the other person first. And so when your office trusts the American people
37:43with this information, that's how you actually restore it. And there was much to be restored,
37:48and you're doing just God's work, truly. Everybody must follow Tulsi. You most likely already do.
37:53But three quarters of a million people do right here. DNI Tulsi Gabbard with a cool photo of her
37:59inside of a Apache right there. And Godspeed. I just, I cannot, I cannot thank you enough on behalf of our
38:07audience for attempting to restore that trust and being frankly the gold standard in the Trump administration
38:12for delivering. Thanks for all that you do and all that you are focused on on a daily basis to help
38:20emphasize the truth and help with the messaging that is focused on the most important things,
38:26which is our country and the American people and our constitution. Salt and light. Salt and light.
38:31That's it. Be truth. Thank you, Director. Thanks, Benny. Good to see you.
