Former FBI Director James Comey has already apologized for his part in the FISA scandal. Glenn and Sarah discuss why they think he should be acquitted. They also discuss Greta Thunberg and how she is turning into a monster and why her parents are to blame.
00:03:09.280There are 17 significant errors in the FISA process. And you say that it was handled
00:03:15.160in a thoughtful and appropriate way. Yeah, he's right. I was wrong. I was overconfident
00:03:20.700in the procedures that the FBI and justice had built over 20 years. I thought they were
00:03:26.040robust enough. It's incredibly hard to get a FISA. I was overconfident in those because he's
00:03:30.460right. There was real sloppiness. 17 things that either should have been in the applications
00:03:34.700or at least discussed and characterized differently. It was not acceptable. And so
00:03:39.560he's right. Huh? It's a pretty, pretty amazing moment there because we heard how many times
00:03:48.300from James Comey that this was a perfectly buttoned up process.
00:03:52.580But we have the audio, do we still have the audio from last week where he was saying, uh,
00:03:57.660that it was completely vindicated him? Yeah. Completely vindicated him. There was no problems
00:04:03.120at all. Yeah. We may have two clips to just, uh, you know, talking, uh, back shop here.
00:04:06.840We may have two clips of the Comey thing. There's one that's two and a half minutes on our sheet.
00:04:09.540If we have that one, could we, could we roll that out? Cause it has the vindication, uh,
00:04:12.920angle in that. Is that possible or no? Do we have any idea on that one? Is anybody talking to us?
00:04:17.860Um, all right. Here while we're, while we're waiting for that clip, let's go to, uh, here's
00:04:22.580Trey Gowdy talking about the Comey apology. I think this morning Comey admitted he was wrong.
00:04:28.640Sometimes Maria, Maria, uh, it's better late than never. And sometimes it's just too damn late.
00:04:32.960And in this case, uh, Comey is about two years too late. We could have used his objectivity. We
00:04:37.940could have used him as a head of the FBI, helping Republicans figure out what was happening with
00:04:43.240FISA instead of thwarting us, uh, and obstructing us. So, um, he said it was a policy and procedure
00:04:50.060issue. It's not Maria. They've always been policies against manufacturing evidence and withholding
00:04:55.500exculpatory evidence. That's not new. Those aren't new policies. This is a personnel issue. It's the wrong
00:05:01.540people in the wrong positions of power. That's not going to be fixed. Well, the new policy or
00:05:05.820procedures can be fixed by replacing the people who did what they did in 2016. It's a good point
00:05:11.080made by Trey Gowdy with fascinating hair. Like I, I couldn't concentrate. I don't know what he was
00:05:17.440saying. Could you play that again? Just without the audio. If you happen to be watching blaze TV,
00:05:22.220I was thinking I couldn't, I didn't even see the hair. I couldn't even listen to him.
00:05:25.980Yeah. No, I, no, I, I was concentrating on his nose. It's disappearing. It's like just the straight
00:05:34.460line down. Is it, it's like, is it Beaker? He looks a little like Beaker with a little
00:05:43.040hair on the top and the straight nose. I hadn't seen that before, but yeah, it does. Just think of him.
00:05:48.980Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker and I like Trey. I mean, I say this with all respect. Well,
00:05:59.220you say this as a man who's made a Kentucky fried Colonel chicken, uh, t-shirt of his own face on
00:06:05.340the side of a chicken bucket. So I mean, I can laugh at myself. I can laugh at myself. I'm sure
00:06:09.420he can too. Okay. Um, all right. Wow. I think we do have the longer clip here of, uh, James Comey.
00:06:14.980Yeah. If we could hear that. I total confidence that the FISA process was followed and that the
00:06:21.580entire case was handled in a thoughtful, responsible way by DOJ and the FBI. I think
00:06:26.540the notion that FISA was abused here is nonsense. Nonsense. Nonsense. Conspiracy theory. Conspiracy
00:06:33.140theory. That's bizarre. Yeah. It's interesting to hear Comey come out and say that. And, and,
00:06:39.660you know, I guess you give him some credit for admitting it in a little late, you know,
00:06:46.840I don't know. I mean, I guess you say, okay, here he is. He's at least saying it, but it's
00:06:50.580impossible to deny at this point. And this is also the same guy, as you point out who,
00:06:55.220when this came out, said it was complete vindication, um, which they, uh, Chris Wallace asked him
00:07:00.280about and said, Hey, uh, you know, you said this was complete vindication for your position.
00:07:04.700Here's what the IG said about that. And they play the clip of the IG saying, no, it was definitely
00:07:09.380not complete vindication. Uh, there's massive problems here. And it's true. I mean, it's obvious,
00:07:14.320right? We're all, we all saw the report. We all can see and hear and read. Uh, so it was a weird PR
00:07:22.780attempt to come out and say you were vindicated. And then 10 seconds later, come out and say, well,
00:07:27.980you're right. Now Comey's line on the vindication was to say, well, we were vindicated from the very
00:07:34.020worst accusations, right? So to say, instead of saying like, well, we were very worst accusations
00:07:41.360like you were vindicated Carter page. That was, he says, you know, and he's playing the line that
00:07:46.680the media was playing, which is there was no political bias. That was what the report said.
00:07:50.520It said there was no political bias. Now it didn't say that it said there was no evidence.
00:07:53.720There's no documentary evidence of political bias. However, how do you make 17 errors and they're
00:08:00.860all going one way and they're not errors. They're changing documents, falsifying documents.
00:08:07.240Yeah. The only two explanations for this are political bias. They were doing, they were breaking
00:08:11.420their own rules to target Trump, right? That's one. And number two is they break their own rules all
00:08:16.160the time to get these FISA warrants. And it's all tilted towards essentially conviction, if you will,
00:08:24.240right? Which is, that's even worse. That's worse. I mean, so which one is it? Is it that you always
00:08:29.120fix these things so that you can get the FISA warrant? Or were you targeting Trump for political
00:08:34.180reasons? One of the two, because the entire system is a disaster if they do this to everybody. So in
00:08:41.260a way you kind of wish they were just doing it because they didn't like Trump, you know, because
00:08:45.120at least then you don't have to completely scrap the entire system. But honestly, until we know the
00:08:50.200answer to that, you pretty much have to scrap the entire system. If this is the way they're handling
00:08:54.180this, it's, it's what every libertarian warned us about this entire time going back to the Bush
00:08:59.640administration. And apparently they were completely right. Completely right. Completely right. Completely
00:09:04.200vindicated. The libertarians were. Yes. Yes. Correct. Yes. Um, you know, I was looking at the Boris
00:09:14.420Johnson win and then looking at this impeachment and looking how the, the left here in America has
00:09:23.360been dealing with things and how they're trying to silence people. And I think there's a few lessons
00:09:28.240that really need to be learned. And I think the first thing is the silent majority is who the Democrats
00:09:38.800should be talking to and trying to relate to because it's the silent majority, not the loud minority
00:09:46.540that actually goes out in votes right now. Our society is built on silencing and making you feel
00:09:55.840alone. And you're in the majority. It's the same message I gave you during the nine 12 project. You're
00:10:01.980not alone. You're not alone. There are millions of Americans who feel just like you do.
00:10:08.800And they're not all Republicans. Some are independent. Some are Democrats, but they don't like the
00:10:15.140craziness that is happening right now. Social media, social media is not the voice of the majority.
00:10:24.660Bots don't vote. Algorithms don't vote. People do. Algorithms make people discouraged. Algorithms
00:10:36.700make people feel alone. Algorithms make people stay home. So it's the majority voice,
00:10:47.900the silent majority voice that we need to pay attention to. If you're going to win an election,
00:10:54.920that's who you pay attention to, not social media, and certainly not the press. The third thing that
00:11:00.820I think everybody needs to learn is the mainstream media is no longer mainstream. It's not. And I
00:11:07.100don't mean it that they're, well, they're so far left. I mean, they're not really appealing to the
00:11:12.800mainstream anymore. They're not appealing to the silent majority. They're not appealing to people
00:11:17.760in the center of the country. And it has been replaced. But the mainstream media is, has not been
00:11:25.580replaced by one entity. The mainstream media has been replaced by hundreds, hundreds of entities.
00:11:33.380So we've lost some of our cohesion. We've lost some of our unity. But I believe, because we,
00:11:41.820we no longer believe the mainstream media, we're better off for it. But you should know mainstream
00:11:49.980media. It was your bias, your lies, your incompetence, your arrogance, that drove your audience away.
00:11:58.920They didn't find something necessarily they like better. They just couldn't take you anymore.
00:12:06.980And you have sullied yourself so badly that it's over. Because you can't silence thought. You can't
00:12:16.000tell people over and over, the sky is green, when we all know the sky is blue. We're not Sherlock Holmes.
00:12:23.620We do rely on investigations and investigative reporters. But we don't trust you anymore.
00:12:30.200The American people are smarter than you've given them credit for. And if the media doesn't learn that,
00:12:38.340the media is done. Done. I mean, close up the shop, sell the lights, sell the cameras. Nobody's buying. Nobody's watching. Close up shop.
00:12:51.800The same thing can be said, thank God, for the progressive era and the, the socialist, democratic socialist era.
00:13:00.620They are selling a load of goods that the world, quite honestly, doesn't want, except third world countries. And then once they get it, they don't want it either.
00:13:13.300The world's about to change. And it just might be for the better because of the arrogance of the left.

00:13:43.880Pat Gray joins us from Pat Gray Unleashed, the podcast that you can hear daily wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to the program, Pat.
00:13:51.900I want to talk about the election, but, you know, so we had a little holiday music. How much did you pay for your Christmas tree? Do you have a fake one or a real one?
00:13:58.040I have a fake one. You have a fake one. Stu, fake one? Fake and proud. Fake and proud. Okay. All right.
00:14:05.760Why? Do you, are you, you have a real one? No, I have a fake one, but I want to start buying new ones.
00:14:11.640And so I bought, I bought one. We went out and got one at a tree farm up in Idaho.
00:14:18.860And it was, I think, $35. And it was seven feet, I think. I mean, it's like, it's amazing, you know, out west. Do you know how much a tree costs in New York City?
00:14:34.360A lot? A lot. What would you think? What would you think, Stu? From 20, this is a 20 foot. This is a Frasier fir.
00:24:52.260Are you prepared to lose, um, even if he doesn't, even if he's not impeached to have this thing swing around to where 55% of the American people are like, ah, I want him impeached now.
00:25:46.840There's definitely an argument for it here.
00:25:48.640However, you got to step back and say, you know what?
00:25:50.540The political, there is political risk here, right?
00:25:52.840You don't know what the media gloms onto and turns into this big issue.
00:25:56.580And it might turn some public opinion, but secondarily and, and it shouldn't be secondary is the consideration of whether it's the right thing to do.
00:26:04.220If this is really happening, it needs to be exposed.
00:43:01.680So that's what it all started about was just a blanket in the street.
00:43:05.560So they called me Blanket Lady for eight years.
00:43:07.640That was what I did as a supervisor in Baylor Hospital.
00:43:10.840At the same time, I was helping the homeless.
00:43:12.520And then God gave me a big vision of holding this massive birthday party for Jesus where the guests are the homeless and the poor of Dallas Fort Worth.
