Jason Buttril, our Chief Researcher, was back from Vacation and has some thoughts on the latest on Russian Collusion and the influence of Donald Trump. He also talks about the top 10 jobs that are going away according to Microsoft and why this is actually a little scary.
00:02:53.440But what kind of annoyed me is, you know, politicians, people in the FBI, CIA, all that, that are working for Trump now and trying to get to the bottom of this, they're not storytellers.
00:03:02.680And no one's – they're not claiming to be storytellers.
00:03:05.000I wish that they would have had more of a storyteller mind and mindset for this because they should have released this Durham annex before the ODNI report that Tulsi Gabbard released.
00:03:17.160And the reason I say that is because multiple times it talks about the special services that were involved and that were going to put more oil on the fire, which they were talking about, the FBI, and pushing this narrative of Russian collusion forward.
00:03:34.860Now, the FBI analysts said these special services were probably CIA or FBI, people that were, you know, close to the Clinton campaign.
00:03:46.220Well, we got that information in the ODNI report a couple of weeks ago.
00:03:49.640The special services were, you know, it looks like it was allegedly the Obama administration right at the top that were ordering a new intelligence community assessment because they didn't like the fact that, you know, they said that there was no collusion.
00:04:11.060These are the special services were the people that were in the Oval that President – or in the Security Council room that President Obama called together, right?
00:04:23.760So if they would have released this Durham annex first, they talked about special services, then they could have put later on and showed how, well, this is how the government was colluding.
00:05:07.120We're not sure who this source is, but I was just – I was rapidly looking through everything I could.
00:05:11.820I think it probably is one of our allied countries.
00:05:16.940I think there was news coming around about the time that the Dutch Security Service had hacked or penetrated some of Russia's communications.
00:05:26.940So, it was like, you know, there were double hacks, triple hacks going on all around this time.
00:05:32.280It sounds like it was one of our allies, and they're reading in on what the Russians are putting together on this.
00:05:38.240I just can't get past the – I'm sorry.
00:05:40.840I just can't get past the Dutch secret services.
00:05:45.400Do they have, like – do they have phones in their wooden shoes?
00:05:49.160I mean, it would be hard for them to sneak around in those shoes.
00:06:03.880But, yeah, so they got this information.
00:06:05.860They are compiling it and then giving it back to our intelligence services.
00:06:12.300So, our intelligence services, like the CIA, are like, this is legit.
00:06:15.380They've got communications from – let's go back to what I said about the deep state – from some of these think tanks, which I completely agree they are part of this deep state apparatus.
00:06:27.280Some of these think tanks that are associated with Hillary Clinton are having – they're just warm about her.
00:06:32.960And then they – so not only think tanks, but also, like, organizations, NGOs, like the Open Society Foundation.
00:06:41.820There was one of their bigwigs over in Europe that was talking about how he's getting, you know, plans for directly from the Clinton campaign that this is being – you know, this is given a go from her directly.
00:06:54.640And that she is expecting special services to help.
00:06:58.380Now, you're – this is the memo from Leonard Bernardo, right, from Open Society.
00:07:06.840They're saying that Bernardo has said, I never wrote that letter.
00:07:13.720I don't know what you're talking about.
00:07:14.980So, what gives you – what gives it any credence to you?
00:07:21.420So, this was the disconnect between the FBI, which is not surprising to me because of people like McCabe and Comey that are all part of this at the time.
00:07:30.220But the FBI is saying this information, this intercept, is not credible because it's – it was hilarious.
00:07:39.840They gave, like, multiple different responses.
00:07:42.000One was it looks like they're compiling from different information.
00:07:45.660It looks like they might be exaggerating.
00:07:47.660It looks like some of it could be hearsay.
00:07:49.740So, basically, everything that was in the Steele dossier – it almost sounds like they're describing the Steele dossier.
00:08:25.740Bernardo is saying, I never wrote this.
00:08:28.980It sounds like there was – the explanation was that they were gathering from multiple different reports from the Russians that had intercepted some of this stuff.
00:08:38.520And he's putting it all together and then saying, well, this was said during this time.
00:08:44.140And he compiled it all together and put it out there in one of their memos and released it to us.
00:08:50.420So it doesn't surprise me at all that, you know, Bernardo could make a claim, true or not, who knows, that I never wrote those words specifically.
00:09:38.820And, yeah, the Dutch security services that would be allegedly getting this information, they're getting it through, you know, either emails or transmission signals intelligence, listening in on their conversations, whatever.
00:09:52.000They're getting this however they're getting this.
00:09:54.080And they're compiling it into reports.
00:10:19.420But the interesting thing about a lot of this, Glenn, was it kind of irritates me how even today how we're responding to this because we're still giving the Democrats, I guess, is like a political smokescreen.
00:10:34.380You really have to look into what was freaking the Democrats out and the deep state, which, again, mentioned twice in this memo, what was freaking them out.
00:10:44.520It wasn't just, you know, random stuff about Trump and Russia, which that stuff was all made up, which we now know.
00:10:50.420But it was everything that was going on at the time.
00:10:54.780They were concerned, and it mentions in this memo, all the distracting away from Hillary Clinton's emails and what was inside those emails.
00:11:12.660There were all these other leaks, which included information like the DNC basically rigging their election, getting rid of Bernie Sanders because they really wanted Hillary Clinton to become president.
00:11:25.360Pick a scandal that Obama says he never had, like his drone strikes.
00:12:19.040But back in the day in the memo mentions that this was happening like at the beginning of 2014.
00:12:23.840So well before the election, these penetrations were beginning to try and hack these, to try to hack this information.
00:12:31.960But if you look at news reports from back then, the speculation was wild.
00:12:37.160They were saying that I was just reading it was from the AP, how they were talking about how there are intrusion records that showed people from China were trying to hack these emails.
00:12:47.520People from Germany were trying to hack these emails and people from South Korea were trying to hack these emails.
00:12:55.560Now we just just assume that it was Russia because the intelligence community back in 2016 and early 2017, because they told us it was it was Russia.
00:13:04.160I think we have to go back and reexamine all of that, because how many hoaxes can we pull out of this?
00:13:10.880We're just accepting that one is true.
00:13:32.420The Russia collusion hoax against President Trump remains the single greatest hoax and the greatest assault on our democracy in the history of this country.
00:13:51.640It was a coup to overthrow a democratically elected government, a coup carried out by the intelligence apparatus of this country, by the deep state, by Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party.
00:14:02.520The new information that has been revealed by the director of national intelligence and by the FBI eliminates any scintilla of doubt about the intention, the premeditation, the planning and orchestration of this conspiracy.
00:14:19.120It meets all of the criminal elements of a seditious conspiracy against the United States.
00:14:25.200It meets the criminal elements of an insurrection.
00:14:27.740It meets the criminal elements of a conspiracy against the government and the criminal elements of a conspiracy to deprive citizens of their civil rights under color of law.
00:14:36.980And I don't think he goes far enough on that because he's only talking about one part.
00:14:43.440I think there's a prediction of mine made in 2009 that is about to come true.
00:14:48.180I said, if this administration is not held to account soon, this remember, this is 2009 in the end, we will find corruption that will make Watergate look like child's play.
00:15:02.520And it's not just this, as Jason just said, they are worried about all of the other stuff.
00:15:09.640It's not just Donald Trump they're worried about.
00:15:12.020They're worried about the exposure on all of the other things that were happening at the time, including Ukraine and Benghazi and all of that stuff.
00:25:39.720But if he has the right opinion here, this could be the big turnaround for David Barton from outed terrorist, which he's been discussed in the past.
00:25:47.740And then I'm sure the media will embrace him and love him if he says the right thing.
00:26:42.900Customer service representatives, CNC tool programmers, telephone operators, ticket agents, travel clerks and broadcast announcers and radio DJs.
00:26:51.120But you're going to, according to Microsoft, you're going to be the first that go in the in the job market.
00:26:59.860So I think historians is probably the one that scares me the most out of that, though.
00:27:04.500I will say writers and authors is if it's not a close sec, if it's not tied for first, it's a close second.
00:27:09.700Yeah, I agree that I I'm OK with we're broadcast announcers.
00:27:14.120So, I mean, I mean, but historians and number two, writers and authors and everything else.
00:27:21.280I'm like, yeah, I could have seen that coming.
00:27:43.260It forms traditions and foundations and values and, you know, all that stuff.
00:27:48.940And not to mention, you know, one of the big problems with these chatbots is they're just, you know, and the the artists are complaining about this constantly.
00:27:56.580They're just taking everybody else's work, right, and ingesting it and then sort of spitting it back out at you.
00:28:03.960And at some point, if the new authors are all replaced by chat GPT, you have nothing new.
00:28:10.260You're just getting different versions of what's already been ingested, you know, modified in certain ways.
00:28:17.340And they can spit out different varieties of it.
00:28:20.260But like, what's the you know, like we were going to there's going to be it's going to be like Hollywood.
00:28:25.520Where we're just getting sequels to crappy old, you know, movies rather than new, innovative, interesting thoughts.
00:28:34.300I think what you're missing here, though, is the prompter.
00:28:39.320You know, taking classes in prompting is probably going to be something of the future.
00:28:46.680Maybe you just have to know how to prompt.
00:28:50.300So I don't think when it says author, I'm not sure that you're not going to get new, creative human thought saying, hey, investigate this or do this and shaping it because prompting is a very large part of that.
00:29:09.220Sure. But I think, you know, I'm concerned, at least, that you're talking about the current situation in which a lot of people who were brought up under, you know, a world where they're being individually creative are now inspiring AI to help them be more productive.
00:29:28.740And you can really see how there'd be a benefit to that.
00:29:31.460But once you have a generation that's been doing this and didn't go through that process and wrote all their process, all of their papers throughout their lives based through AI and prompting it, then you're to a period where they didn't.
00:29:44.980How are they going to inspire the new thought when they're they never went through that process like everybody else did?
00:29:51.240I mean, again, see, I guess I guess that that's another thing that we're trying to take care of with the with the torch is that always use it as a tool.
00:30:01.840Yeah. And I'm not a techno pessimist here.
00:30:04.520I'm not like I don't think there's going to be nothing good from this.
00:30:06.920And usually what happens with technology is you get to these things and all of those worries wind up working themselves out and we get good things out of it and bad things out of it and human life goes on.
00:30:16.880So, you know, it's probably the most likely outcome.
00:30:19.520But I do worry about that when you see people already just abandoning their minds.
00:30:28.760They just don't look at all they think about is what to type into this thing and it tells them the answer and they just believe it's true.
00:30:34.100So it's why professors and everybody in universities are now saying their their class, you know, the the the professor will get their papers back and it's all great.
00:30:48.220And then they take a final exam and they're all dummies.
00:30:50.860They have no idea what they're even talking about.
00:30:53.000And he's like, there's no way the dummies could have written the papers that you wrote.
00:32:50.800We may be dealing with, get this, negative net migration to the United States in 2025.
00:32:57.520That would be the first time there is negative net migration in this country in at least 50 years.
00:33:02.800We're talking about down from 2.8 million in 2024.
00:33:07.480So Donald Trump has always run on tariffs, and he's run on a hawkish line on immigration.
00:33:12.660And on both of those issues, we are seeing record high tariff rates for this century going all the way back, well back into the early part of the 20th century.
00:33:21.780And when it comes to immigration, net migration, we are seeing record low levels, way down from where we were during the Biden administration.
00:33:28.160We are potentially looking at negative net migration for the first time in at least 50 years.
00:33:51.180But I don't think, I think Trump, especially by the end of, you know, we're only one year into his, not even one year into his second term yet.
00:33:59.000I think by the end of this, he'll be obviously ahead.
00:34:45.940But if, you know, the private sector can't do it and there is competition, well, you know, then, you know, then maybe we have the government do it.
00:34:58.160But when there's competition and the private sector can do it, no, we shouldn't be paying for it.
00:35:05.620You don't think there's a shortage in left-wing media content?
