00:00:00.000
So I went on chat, GBT, and I asked the question.
00:00:01.720
I said, tell me the strange facts in the 9-11 Commission that we all know about.
00:00:05.500
Strange facts that they had in this big-ass 9-11 Commission that they had.
00:00:11.600
$15 million they spent on 9-11, even though 2,977 people died
00:00:20.640
Well, they don't mention the Gilmore Commission at all.
00:00:24.740
After the 93 attack, and I was up at the Trade Center,
00:00:27.820
and I got a call from Mario Cuomo thanking me for my work,
00:00:31.420
I wrote the legislation creating the Gilmore Commission.
00:00:34.780
Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore chaired the Gilmore Commission.
00:00:41.040
The Gilmore Commission wrote five reports, five reports before 9-11.
00:00:46.540
Those reports were the bulk of the recommendations made by the 9-11 Commission
00:00:52.100
The 9-11 Commission doesn't even talk about the Gilmore Commission.
00:00:57.240
This is the one that was presented to Clinton, Bush, and Bolton.
00:01:00.420
Rob, can you pull up that one story from ABC News?
00:01:04.100
Do you know the article from ABC News that we have?
00:01:06.520
Have you guys seen this one here, which is kind of a,
00:01:09.400
like if you wanted to create an instance to go to war,
00:01:15.360
they wrote the playbook of what to do to go to war
00:01:20.740
$8 trillion, $2.3 million in Afghanistan, $2.3 million in Iraq,
00:01:24.640
and don't forget when, who was it that told us they're missing $2.3 trillion in Pentagon's money?
00:01:31.680
So it's so funny that 2.3 is Iraq, 2.3 is Afghanistan,
00:01:37.380
Those, you know, the, you know, those three numbers shouldn't be matching that correctly.
00:01:42.860
This is Donald Rumsfeld talking about the missing $2.3 trillion the day before 9-11 on September 10th.
00:01:48.900
And the fact that they can fail and die is what provides the incentive to survive.
00:02:01.940
So we need to find other incentives for bureaucracy to adapt and improve.
00:02:07.580
The technology revolution has transformed organizations across the private sector.
00:02:18.300
We are, as they say, from floor to floor in this building
00:02:28.400
Estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions.
00:02:33.700
But going back to the Gilmore, the Gilmore Commission, Rob, that ABC story, do you have that?
00:02:38.600
So this is, this is a, were 1998 memos a blueprint for a war?
00:02:48.740
And March 10, years before George W. Bush entered the White House
00:02:52.140
and years before September 11 attacks set the direction of its presidency,
00:02:55.660
a group of influential neoconservatives hatched a plan to get Saddam Hussein out of power.
00:02:59.520
The group's project of the New American Century, or PNAC, was founded in 97.
00:03:04.540
Among its supporters were three Republican officials who were sitting in and out,
00:03:08.320
sitting out with President Bill Clinton, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and Paul Wolfitz
00:03:15.020
The GOP congressional letter, the next year, the group called for the removal of Saddam Hussein regime from power
00:03:22.040
and a shift towards a more assertive U.S. policy in the Middle East,
00:03:25.320
including the use of force, if necessary, to unseat Saddam and in rapport just before 2000 election
00:03:32.800
The group predicted that the shift would come about slowly unless there were some catastrophic
00:03:37.080
and catalyzing events like Pearl Harbor, like a new Pearl Harbor.
00:03:52.860
The next morning before it was clear who was behind the attacks,
00:03:55.400
Rumsfeld insisted that a cabinet meeting with Saddam Iraq should be a principal target
00:03:59.020
of the first round of terrorism, according to Bob Woodward's books, da-da-da-da-da.
00:04:09.400
But January of 2001, the options for us to go after Al-Qaeda is briefed to the chairman
00:04:19.500
That is to say, the culmination of our work is briefed to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
00:04:25.320
We are directed to stand down in January, right as Bush, the Bush team comes in.
00:04:30.760
When Bush comes in, the Able Danger Project is stood down.
00:04:37.400
Right when Bush comes in, the Able Danger Project is put down.
00:04:40.720
So now you're saying something that he's going to dispute.
00:04:44.200
No, I'm going to say there's data, and Eric, I think, will confirm this.
00:04:48.880
Because the data removal in Garland that you talked about earlier was, I think, partly caused
00:04:56.200
by the fact that when John Hamry went down at my request to get a view of what they were
00:05:01.680
doing, John Hamry tasked them to run a special profile of Chinese acquisition of our technology.
00:05:13.940
So they did a run for the deputy director of defense, and that information, now listen carefully,
00:05:23.620
came up with the names of Condoleezza Rice and several other prominent American leaders.
00:05:32.320
When that came up, Washington's beltway shook, because here was the Able Danger team coming
00:05:39.460
up with data in their data mining system regarding China that American officials had helped steer
00:05:50.560
Dan Burton, the chairman of the Oversight Committee, issued subpoenas.
00:05:55.200
That's when they told Eric to destroy all the data.
00:06:00.800
That was, we had, he had subpoenaed it, so we had to make copies of it and send it to
00:06:05.920
Well, it wasn't, but the rest of it, you destroyed, I guess.
00:06:08.520
But the, yeah, then in November is when the Able Danger started.
00:06:12.400
It was in March, spring the next year that we were given the cease and desist.
00:06:17.280
And while that was going on, when you collect information about U.S. persons, even if it's
00:06:21.560
incidental, which is the tools, you know, you don't, you know, you can't read two and
00:06:24.820
a half terabytes first with data with the human eye in that time.
00:06:28.200
So 90 days hits, we're required to delete all that.
00:06:30.780
And since we were given a cease and desist order, the clock's still ticking, the 90 days
00:06:36.300
I had a lawyer come down from my command and says, all right, here's your day, delete the
00:06:42.020
And I had to sit with one of my warrant officers.
00:06:44.160
We had a deep moral discussion on, should we hide some of it?
00:06:47.000
Should we just put some on a removable hard drive and hide it in a file cabinet?
00:06:52.560
And that's, that's about the worst day you could ever spend in the military, knowing
00:06:57.600
now in hindsight that, you know, you're now the guy that could have prevented 9-11.
00:07:03.520
But there was also some sensitive data and names that came up in the work that you had
00:07:11.100
And this is, I'll give you an example for what we did when the FBI came down, we're
00:07:16.380
We gave them a car dealership in Morocco that was used as a front organization.
00:07:22.040
And so we gave them, you know, here's a car dealership was, you know, the FBI, we had
00:07:30.260
So it was just, you know, the front was the business, but in the back, we were, we knew
00:07:34.360
the people that were associated with were funneling information.
00:07:36.700
And the first question the bureau asked is, or the agents there is like, well, where'd
00:07:41.040
And what we showed them was, well, here's the hit that we got on unclassified information.
00:07:46.880
And it was this really wild Michigan militia conspiracy theorist website.
00:07:51.860
That said, you know, the, the FBI is trying to arm the KGB in Northern Michigan and take
00:07:58.600
Chelsea Clinton's real father is Webster Hubble.
00:08:00.460
And then there's this car dealership used as a front organization.
00:08:08.000
Seriously, like who Chelsea Clinton's real father comes out?
00:08:12.280
The webpage that the tool hit had this on the page.
00:08:16.460
And so we're showing this to the bureau and this is all, this is what I mean.
00:08:19.220
The difference between raw intelligence versus what comes out of an agency, which has to
00:08:23.680
be peer reviewed and edited and screened and then produced into a very slick product.
00:08:28.700
We were feeding raw information out to, you know, Congress and Weldon out to Paycom out
00:08:37.600
Who filters out the raw, open source to get credibility?
00:08:40.680
I had my own, I mean, I had a small shop of 24 analysts.
00:08:43.220
So we were doing it on a very small level, but it wasn't the, you know, the size of,
00:08:47.380
you know, we're not the 40,000 people that work at NSA or whatever.
00:08:51.460
So we got 24 people working in the second floor basement of this organization.
00:08:55.260
So the bureau looks at this and says, you guys are a bunch of cracks.
00:08:58.500
Even though we were able to show additional information that corroborated it and show them
00:09:05.320
It was the fact that we, you know, you just squandered your credibility.
00:09:11.240
So, so did you end up finding out if Hubble is the real father?
00:09:16.240
Yeah, I don't even, we didn't, we don't, we don't touch, we didn't even touch that stuff.
00:09:20.100
That was, and again, that's the problem is when you go after stuff.
00:09:23.040
After the Patriot Act, everything's on the table.
00:09:25.200
Yeah, so, so, so, so, so, but, but going back to it again, so here's what I just did.
00:09:30.320
I went online and I said, what was Dick Cheney's net worth before 9-11?
00:09:39.200
I don't know what it is today, but when you think about the financial motivation, Dick
00:09:43.460
Cheney, Halliburton ties, he was a CEO of it from 1995 to 2000.
00:09:48.080
On the ton of shares, had a lot of shares in a blind trust that he couldn't sell while he
00:09:57.600
And then when you go look at Donald Rumsfeld ties, you see the ties that he has, served
00:10:02.140
on boards of major companies, ABB, a defense contractor, Gill Scientist, a pharmaceutical
00:10:06.280
company with government ties, and a Rand Corporation, which is a defense think tank, right?
00:10:14.460
I took the first delegation, bipartisan, to Libya in 25 years to support George Bush
00:10:20.320
when he said that Gaddafi wanted to give up his weapons.
00:10:23.280
I took three Democrats and two other Republicans, and the White House tried to stop me.
00:10:28.720
I was going to visit the troops in Iraq, but we got a plane, and we went to Tripoli for
00:10:33.600
Our meeting with Gaddafi was always at the end, and I met with him three times.
00:10:36.880
But on that first trip, they took us out to this man-made reservoir where Gaddafi had
00:10:41.140
built this water system of pure water for the people in the desert.
00:10:45.800
I was printing an American flag on him after I gave the speech to the entire country.
00:10:56.080
So they showed us this man-made water system, and I said, the pipe was like 14 feet high.
00:11:12.640
You've been under sanctions by the U.S. and Europe for at least the last two decades.
00:11:21.860
We bought it from a company called Halliburton.
00:11:28.060
They bought it from Halliburton while they were under sanctions by the U.S. and while Dick
00:11:37.740
Well, all I'm telling you is I'm disgusted with what I found out about Dick Cheney by
00:11:42.380
And for him to come out and say anything about Donald Trump is an absolute disgusting joke.
00:11:49.040
And his daughter ought to go out and talk about that.
00:11:51.420
Just like he canceled the V-22 for the Marine Corps.
00:11:54.180
I led the fight to save that at Platform, which is why I was so close, because Al Gray came
00:12:00.420
And General Jim Jones had me flying the first V-22 with him when we delivered to the Pentagon
00:12:05.860
because I was the leader to save it, along with Carl Levin from Illinois, a Democrat.
00:12:10.980
These people that make money behind the scenes off of decisions that kill U.S. troops and kill
00:12:19.220
And somebody's got to stand up and say enough's enough.
00:12:23.940
And again, I'm not saying a blanket thing about all intel.
00:12:27.100
I'm saying it about the people who are out for themselves.
