00:00:00.000 Story comes out, FBI launches criminal investigations of John Brennan, James Comey, over Trump-Russia
00:00:08.340 probe, DOJ sources, okay, and this is moments after they released the fact that nothing
00:00:15.500 had happened with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:00:18.120 Former CIA Director John Brennan faces an FBI investigation prompted by criminal reform
00:00:22.260 from a current director, John Ratcliffe, for potential false statements to Congress regarding
00:00:26.680 the 2016 Trump-Russia probe with a newly surfaced email showing Brennan insisted, my bottom
00:00:33.020 line is that I believe the information warrants inclusion in the report for the discredited
00:00:36.860 Steele dossier, despite warnings it did not meet even the most basic tradecraft standards
00:00:43.740 for CIA tradecraft review, noted Brennan, ex-FBI Director James Comey and Director of National
00:00:50.080 Intelligence James Clapper were excessively involved in a chaotic, atypical process to
00:00:55.960 rush the assessment.
00:00:56.980 Ex-FBI Director James Comey is also under FBI investigation for unspecified potential
00:01:01.920 criminal conduct related to the Trump-Russia probe with DOJ sources describing the roles
00:01:07.360 of Comey and Brennan as conspiracy in the CIA review and stating, FBI leadership made it
00:01:12.300 clear that their participation in the intelligence community assessment hinged on the dossier
00:01:17.400 inclusion and over the next few days repeatedly pushed to weave references to it throughout the
00:01:23.640 main body of the CIA.
00:01:25.100 Rob, which video do you have?
00:01:26.040 Is this?
00:01:26.700 So I have John Brennan on MSNBC.
00:01:28.860 I also have President Trump responding to the charges.
00:01:32.180 Go for it.
00:01:32.720 Which one would you like?
00:01:33.480 Let's start off with Brennan first.
00:01:34.580 Okay.
00:01:36.140 I keep thinking, okay, this is the authoritarian playbook.
00:01:38.800 We've seen this play out so many times.
00:01:41.100 And unfortunately, I think we're seeing it play out.
00:01:42.840 And a number of academics and writers have pointed out, Carl Schmitt, who was a German
00:01:48.200 jurist, political philosopher and writer in the 1930s, his thesis, which Nazi Germany
00:01:55.160 basically took up, was don't worry about doing something that is ethical or principled or good
00:02:02.000 or right.
00:02:02.520 Is this what he's saying?
00:02:03.360 Do whatever you can to win.
00:02:04.980 Is he serious?
00:02:05.460 Vanquish your adversaries.
00:02:06.440 Vanquish your enemies.
00:02:07.860 And unfortunately, we have seen that happening overseas.
00:02:10.440 We've seen it in Viktor Orban in Hungary.
00:02:12.220 We've seen it with Vladimir Putin.
00:02:13.520 We see it in China, other places.
00:02:15.180 We see it also in terms of some of the foreign policies that are being implemented, including
00:02:19.560 in the Middle East right now.
00:02:21.260 I can't listen to this.
00:02:22.260 Keep going.
00:02:23.200 What's this one?
00:02:24.360 This one, Vinny said.
00:02:25.640 So this is Mark Elias.
00:02:28.180 He is a liar, whatever you want to call him.
00:02:29.920 He was a lawyer that worked at, hold on.
00:02:33.920 He was at Perkins Coy, who laundered Clinton's campaign money to fund the whole operation and
00:02:39.740 wrapped it in a leak.
00:02:40.620 They were behind the whole Steele dossier.
00:02:42.420 This guy to the left.
00:02:43.640 And he's telling the media, don't report this.
00:02:46.460 Don't.
00:02:46.800 Watch this.
00:02:47.860 I fast forward.
00:02:48.840 Yeah, you can go.
00:02:49.260 You can play.
00:02:49.600 You can play.
00:02:50.020 And others that we're going to get to this moment.
00:02:52.140 And the question is, what do we do?
00:02:54.160 And the question of what we do is multifaceted.
00:02:56.240 The first question is, what do we do?
00:02:58.040 Do we retreat and hide in the corner?
00:03:00.600 So I'm on TV today, not hiding in the corner.
00:03:02.660 I'm not retreating.
00:03:03.420 I'm saying I'm going to stand up and fight.
00:03:04.660 And Donald Trump won't intimidate me by going back to this 2016 stuff.
00:03:08.720 And that's one thing.
00:03:09.760 But the other thing we've talked about is, what do large institutions do?
00:03:13.500 You know, what do civil society groups do?
00:03:15.240 What does the media do?
00:03:16.420 And I am imploring.
00:03:17.680 Like, honestly, I'm just imploring the media.
00:03:20.220 Do not report this as a legitimate investigation.
00:03:23.300 Do not report this as they're opening an investigation into John Brennan.
00:03:27.380 He knows what he's done.
00:03:28.480 Report this as the misuse, the abuse, the authoritarian takeover of the Department of Justice.
00:03:35.380 Unbelievable.
00:03:36.140 That should be the headline.
00:03:36.980 The headline should be, in a misuse and abuse of the power of the executive branch,
00:03:41.940 Donald Trump has asked his Department of Justice to open a bonus investigation into John Brennan.
00:03:48.240 That's one of the main guys.
00:03:49.460 So what did Trump say, Rob?
00:03:50.480 Here's President Trump says yesterday.
00:03:53.460 Here he is.
00:03:55.800 Hey, President Trump.
00:03:56.860 James Comey and John Brennan, now under criminal investigation related to the Trump-Russia probe.
00:04:03.140 Do you want to see these two guys behind bars?
00:04:06.960 Well, I know nothing about it other than what I read today.
00:04:10.880 But I will tell you, I think they're very dishonest people.
00:04:14.620 I think they're crooked as hell.
00:04:17.000 And maybe they have to pay a price for that.
00:04:20.560 I believe they are truly bad people and dishonest people.
00:04:25.620 So whatever happens, happens.
00:04:28.400 Interesting.
00:04:28.960 Vinny, thoughts on this?
00:04:29.720 Okay, so, well, obviously they launched the investigation.
00:04:33.320 Brennan, who bothered us, John yesterday, the CIA guy that you had on there, told us what type of person this guy really is.
00:04:39.140 He worked with him.
00:04:39.980 He worked with him.
00:04:40.820 Since 1990s.
00:04:41.440 And what was the main thing he said?
00:04:42.520 He is a bad guy.
00:04:44.420 From day one.
00:04:45.120 From day one in that face.
00:04:46.100 So he lies to Congress and then his own top, two top CIA guys told him not to touch the SEAL dossier.
00:04:53.460 Okay, they said that it was internet trash and he still pushed it anyway.
00:04:57.740 Comey knew it was fake and he still weaponized the FBI to go after Trump.
00:05:00.960 And then here's the thing.
00:05:02.320 What's up with Hillary Clinton?
00:05:04.140 She's not just part of it.
00:05:05.880 She started this entire thing that ran this country to the ground for what, Tom?
00:05:11.280 They're still talking about it.
00:05:12.740 Exactly.
00:05:13.180 For those four years, it was horrible.
00:05:15.280 She's the head of the snake.
00:05:17.280 Okay, her campaign paid for the SEAL dossier.
00:05:19.780 Okay, and then lied about it.
00:05:21.040 And guess how much?
00:05:21.860 Guess what the fine was?
00:05:22.760 And they finally said, okay, you're guilty and the DNC's guilty.
00:05:26.320 Guess how much she had to pay?
00:05:27.880 $8,000.
00:05:29.300 Guess what the DNC got fined?
00:05:31.120 $105,000.
00:05:32.280 That whole scandal, the whole Russia collusion, Trump, all that nonsense, they basically got
00:05:38.180 a really expensive parking ticket for global disinformation.
00:05:41.360 And if we're going to talk about this, guys, we have to look at everybody.
00:05:45.640 And I'm going to list the names that they should, if this is opening like this, they should
00:05:49.660 go after Hillary, Jake Sullivan, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Susan Rice, Andrew McCabe.
00:05:56.180 These are all FBI guys.
00:05:57.460 Peter Strzok, Joseph Pientka, Lisa Page, who was Peter Strzok's girlfriend while he was married.
00:06:03.300 I think she was married as well.
00:06:04.700 Sally Yates.
00:06:05.280 We call that mistress in France.
00:06:06.740 Yeah, exactly.
00:06:07.880 Lisa Monaco, Christopher Steele, Igor Donchenko, Bruce, and Nelly Orr, who were lawyers.
00:06:13.220 Stefan Halper, Glenn Simpson, Peter Frisch, who was Fusion GPS, and Loretta Lynch and James
00:06:19.220 Clapper.
00:06:19.620 These people were all a part of this conspiracy.
00:06:22.520 They left out Bolton.
00:06:23.640 Oh, did I even say them?
00:06:25.380 Michael Sussman and Mark Elias and Mark Bolton.
00:06:27.960 These guys, and again, and that's why I don't want people to forget.
00:06:31.380 We move on, and we forget, like, think about it, COVID, all this stuff, all the vaccine
00:06:36.340 injury, all the shit that they did to us, it's kind of like old news.
00:06:39.440 The stuff with Jeffrey Epstein, they're trying to push us away.
00:06:41.800 These, especially this one, this was one of the biggest scandals, Tom.
00:06:44.640 This was worse than Watergate.
00:06:46.280 If you think about it, the sitting president with everybody else around them, with Hillary
00:06:50.200 Clinton, the number one rival, started a fake campaign to get FISA warrants to go after
00:06:56.460 these people to make Trump look like he was a Russian asset.
00:07:00.180 Unfreaking believable.
00:07:01.020 Unbelievable.
00:07:01.460 And you know, I don't care how big the fine was, there was a fine.
00:07:04.600 And so...
00:07:05.300 What does that mean?
00:07:06.120 So guess what?
00:07:06.940 A court or a tribunal of jurisdiction found that you did something wrong and you got a
00:07:12.440 fine.
00:07:12.740 I don't care how big the fine was, there was a fine connected to it, and it proved the
00:07:16.200 dossier was manufactured and wrong and was used to prevent an opponent from winning an
00:07:22.360 election.
00:07:22.840 Yeah.
00:07:23.080 Is that technically treason?
00:07:24.940 Like, what you're doing?
00:07:26.000 Like, doing that with an actual presidential freaking campaign?
00:07:31.020 You went in there.
00:07:32.260 By the way, they were spying on Trump.
00:07:34.920 They were spying on him.
00:07:36.920 Like, it started with Obama with this freaking guy right there.
00:07:40.200 And it's like, if this turns out...
00:07:41.800 Do you know what was interesting about the story yesterday with John Kiraku, who was the
00:07:46.140 former, the only CIA officer ever...
00:07:48.480 What?
00:07:48.660 To be arrested for 23 months because he came out as a whistleblower talking about the waterboarding
00:07:53.740 that he was a part of.
00:07:55.160 You know what was an interesting thing he said?
00:07:56.860 The fact that all the CIA guys, the major players, he became the number three guy, John
00:08:01.460 Brennan.
00:08:02.280 And the top two guys went and aligned themselves with Hillary, saying Hillary's the one that's
00:08:07.640 going to become...
00:08:08.340 President.
00:08:08.680 ...the president.
00:08:09.600 He was the only guy that didn't align himself with Hillary.
00:08:11.840 He went with Obama.
00:08:13.220 And he aligns himself with Obama.
00:08:14.760 And Obama becomes president.
00:08:15.840 When he becomes president, he was going to be the director of CIA at first.
00:08:19.380 They're like, no, this guy's too crazy.
00:08:20.600 We can't do that.
00:08:21.120 There's too many people that don't like him.
00:08:22.380 He gave him a different job.
00:08:23.660 And then eventually he came up.
00:08:24.840 So behind all of this, the one person that's quietly hoping this doesn't get any traction
00:08:30.160 is one guy.
00:08:31.260 And that's Barack Obama.
00:08:32.680 Forget about Brennan.
00:08:34.260 Brennan's going to be like, yeah, whatever.
00:08:35.800 But Obama, if this comes out, more things they find out.
00:08:40.140 And Obama's name is attached to this, not just Hillary, that Obama was also helping orchestrate.
00:08:46.400 We already know it.
00:08:47.720 But I'm talking about even at a higher level where things are being revealed, it's not
00:08:51.640 going to be a good look for those guys.
00:08:52.940 Adam, your thoughts on this.
00:08:54.320 So let me just pan out a little bit here.
00:08:56.480 By the way, I saw the interview with you did with Krautko.
00:08:58.920 He said Brennan was the guy that was sort of encouraging the waterboarding.
00:09:03.040 He's like, yes, let's get him.
00:09:04.360 Let's kill him.
00:09:04.760 Let's do all this.
00:09:05.320 Brennan was the one that he had a meeting every week.
00:09:08.020 Every Tuesday.
00:09:08.500 Every Tuesday to talk about the kill list.
00:09:10.780 There was a kill list.
00:09:11.380 You type in Brennan kill list, Rob.
00:09:13.120 There was a kill list on every Tuesday where he would approve, who are we killing this week?
00:09:16.960 All right.
00:09:17.980 This is the New Yorker that wrote this article that Obama knew about this.
00:09:21.740 John Brennan's kill list.
00:09:22.960 Every Tuesday there was a meeting on who we're killing this week.
00:09:25.500 But go ahead.
00:09:25.920 Yes, this is John Brennan.
00:09:27.100 So that's Brennan.
00:09:27.860 But what I want to do is actually focus on Trump for a second.
00:09:31.140 What I got to give Trump a lot of credit for is Trump 2.0 is completely different than Trump 1.0.
00:09:37.420 Even the response he did when he talked about Brennan, he's just like, look, it's so much more measured and disciplined and mature that people like me that were not fans of Trump eight years ago, 10 years ago.
00:09:51.200 Except when you ask him about Epstein.
00:09:52.260 But for the most part, yes.
00:09:53.240 Keep going.
00:09:54.780 Why didn't we talk about that creepy guy?
00:09:57.160 We'll show that in a minute as well.
00:09:58.040 But Trump is a lot more measured.
00:09:59.820 This is his, you know, people think this is his second time around.
00:10:02.980 Technically, it's his third time around.
00:10:04.320 Why?
00:10:05.140 He had four years to watch what Biden was doing.
00:10:08.460 And if you ever see that clip where Kamala is speaking and he's tweeting in real time and he's like, say this, do this.
00:10:18.120 We saw a little tiny glimpse of what he did.
00:10:21.360 He probably did that for four years watching what's going on.
00:10:24.300 I would do this differently.
00:10:25.620 Here's what I would do here.
00:10:26.760 I kind of messed this one up.
00:10:28.240 He watched game film.
00:10:30.060 And Trump is not a rookie anymore.
00:10:31.780 Trump 2.0 is a lot more measured and he trusts his cabinet a lot more.
00:10:37.640 He has sort of loyalists in the cabinet at this point.
00:10:41.160 But he's not making what I would call self-inflicted mistakes like he did the first time.
00:10:46.260 You might say that, you know, Epstein was a self-inflicted mistake.
00:10:49.160 We'll have that conversation.
00:10:50.600 But Trump, in my opinion, is a lot more mature and grown up and handling the presidency way better than the first time.
00:10:55.860 I fully agree.
00:10:56.380 I fully agree on the way it's being handled.
00:10:58.000 However, going back to this, Vinny, go ahead.
00:10:59.940 But do you guys think the timing, and again, just off of coincidences, everything that's happening with Epstein, the day before, Trump was like, stop talking about Epstein.
00:11:09.320 Let it go.
00:11:09.800 Let it go.
00:11:10.120 Which I'm not going to ever let it go.
00:11:12.100 Isn't it weird that all this stuff starts happening?
00:11:14.380 Like, they announced this Brennan thing to make everybody go, hey, look over here.
00:11:18.520 Because if you think about it.
00:11:19.280 I'm not buying that bullshit.
00:11:20.340 Adam, hold on.
00:11:20.960 If this turns into, then let's.
00:11:22.920 That's like saying, I already see where you're going.
00:11:24.700 Let me just cut you off for one second.
00:11:25.740 That's like saying that any time there's a news cycle, when a news story shows up, oh, you could always say, well, they're using it to escape the rumors from this one.
00:11:35.940 Every single time you're going to do that.
00:11:37.260 No, no.
00:11:37.960 I don't do that.
00:11:38.500 But meaning, like, any time there's a story, I guarantee you, the next day, there'll be another story.
00:11:43.120 It's called the world.
00:11:43.940 It's called news.
00:11:44.040 But something of this magnitude, which is, Adam, which is trying to unseat.
00:11:47.260 I don't even think this Brennan thing is that big of a story.
00:11:49.440 Which is sad.
00:11:50.020 Are you saying that this is the cover up?
00:11:51.220 No, Adam, because you know why it is?
00:11:53.500 Trump won.
00:11:54.860 And then they all conspired to get him out.
00:11:58.520 And, dude, that's freaking treason.
00:12:00.080 What are we talking about?
00:12:01.020 You want to talk about election interference?
00:12:02.680 He won.
00:12:03.740 He won.
00:12:04.280 And then they all got together and said, you know what?
00:12:06.400 Spy on his ass.
00:12:07.600 Fine.
00:12:08.100 Bring me fake ass information to get a sitting president out.
00:12:12.500 It is a huge deal.
00:12:13.480 But this better not.
00:12:14.000 That is a huge deal.
00:12:14.940 I do agree.
00:12:15.740 But that's not the reason that they brought this story up to escape the Epstein humor list.
00:12:21.860 I hope you prove me wrong.
00:12:22.880 We have a goal of a million people wearing the Future Looks Bright gear.
00:12:26.180 The brand's becoming more and more recognizable.
00:12:29.020 Very excited about what's going on.
00:12:30.940 So what we're announcing today, I don't know if you're aware of this,
00:12:33.860 this category that is now on vtmerch.com for certain selected hats.
00:12:38.220 That's a buy one, get one free.
00:12:40.500 You buy one at $34.99, you get the second one for free.
