2-6-25 - 7am - Colorado Gun Law and DOJ & FBI Purge

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Michae or Michael.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I think I may have to go over to the
Rick Lewis Show and try and find me some clean content.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Michael, you know that eating beaver caused Michael Douglas to
get throat cancer.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Sometimes beaver is such a delicacy, it could be worth it.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Yeah. And then we were also reminded by someone on
the text line that Eating Colorado was going to adopt
the beaver as their mascot, Eating Beavers, the eating beavers. Yeah, yeah,
all right, now let's get let's get serious.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Why start now?

Speaker 1 (00:40):
I don't know why, you know. And that's just the
mood I'm in today too. I don't know there. I
wish I understood psychologically what happens. Because I slept okay
last night. I didn't make up this morning like oh wow,
what a wonderful day. But I woke up before the alarm,

(01:02):
and you know, fed the dogs and kind of did
my little routine. And then I actually went when I
went to the McDonald's over here, the woman that I've
worked so long to get to smile and say hi.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
I trained to say thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
I trained her to actually be kind to people. And
be nice. She wasn't there, but there was another woman
and she handed me you know the four cup holder
tray they give you, Yeah, and she put the coach
the coach in diagonala as she should, but she kind
of just shoved them in at me and was just

(01:38):
frowning like I was irritating her that I was ordering something.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
You were disturbing her peace.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
I was disturbing the peace and quiet. At five point
fifteen this morning, I went up whatever time it was.
And not only that, but they they weren't set into
the container. They were kind of just slanted. So I'm
trying to slowly get them, and then she's trying to
shove them. Well, I'm trying to like balance them. And
then I get them in the car and now I
got you know, you know, leaks out the top of

(02:06):
the lid and I'm trying to balance it on the
seat so it doesn't spell all over the seat of
the beamer. And it's like ah, And then I come
in and all you're doing is you're bitching about your
seat belt and the beat, beat, beat beep, and then
you have any these dumb ass stories and it's just
like it just this is where the the S word
would be appropriate. The show went to S word just

(02:28):
because if you what the hell would you between you
and the woman at McDonald's. This show went to hell
in a handbasket?

Speaker 3 (02:33):
What would you have talked about it if if I
didn't handle this story.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
I'm trying to sort the story I'm trying to do
right now. We're waiting, so last night, yes or sometimes
sometimes yesterday. I don't know when it is. I have
no idea what time of day. I have no idea
what time of day is right now, I'm trying to
find the story to do the Michael Brown Minute. And

(02:59):
one the places I usually go because they usually have
because the Colorado Sun is one of these online newspapers
that is part of this thing called the Trust Project,
which is basically a bunch of billionaires and taxpayers everybody

(03:19):
else funding to keep local journalism alive. So they usually
have a leftist slant on the news. And here's the
headline Colorado. This should not come as a surprise to
anyone who's a gun owner. Colorado is on track to
raise the minimum age to buy firearm ammunition to twenty one.

(03:41):
The subhead reads House Bill eleven thirty three is promoted
as a way to align the rules for ammunition sales
in Colorado with the new law prohibiting anyone younger than
twenty one from purchasing a gun. And I thought, wait
a minute. I thought that I had read a case

(04:04):
from the Fifth Circuit down New Orleans, the Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals that, in a unanimous three judge opinion
said that you cannot constitutionally prohibit the sale of firearms
to anyone under the age of twenty one. Huh, So

(04:25):
I looked it up. The case is Caleb Reese, the
Firearms Policy Coalition, the Second Amendment Foundation, the Louisiana Shooting Association,
in Emily Nacken versus the ATF, and James R. McHenry,
the acting US Attorney General. It's an appeal from the

(04:45):
United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana.
Judge the chief Judge. I think she's the one that
wrote no. I think Edith Jones may have written the
pinion anyway, it's it's a Reagan appointee. Just the first paragraph.
This is a second challenge in our court to the

(05:09):
constitutionality of eighteen USC. Sections nine twenty two B one
and C one, which together prohibit federal firearms licensees from
selling handguns to eighteen to twenty year olds. That goes
on to point out that in another case that those
provisions had been upheld, but that decision they write, which

(05:34):
was criticized at the time. Descending from the denial of rehearing,
Enbank proceeded two recent clarifying Supreme Court opinions on the
methodology by which we construe gun regulations under the Second Amendment.
We are now compelled to focus intently on the evidence
of firearm access and ownership by eighteen to twenty year

(05:55):
olds and at the founding, and we conclude one that
this act is incompatible with the Bruin and the Rahemi
decisions of the US Supreme Court, and two these provisions
are inconsistent with the Second Amendment. Accordingly, we reverse the
District Court's contrary, contrary judgment and remand for further proceedings

(06:17):
consistent with his opinion. They overrule the lower court, citing
the US Supreme Court that says, you can't do this.
You can't do it with guns. Now. I know in
Colorado we're talking about AMMO, but the same reasoning applies
there is nothing in the history of this country, and

(06:39):
there is nothing based on the Bruin decision, the Rahimi
decisions by the US Supreme Court that would say to
the damn communists at the Colorado polit Bureau that you
have any constitutional basis upon which to prohibit the sale
of AMMO to eighteen to twenty one year olds, but
you're doing it anyway. This is why I despise them.

(07:04):
But while it's easy to criticize the Colorado Publot Bureau
because they ignore the decisions of the US Supreme Court
and a unanimous decision of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals,
they're going to proceed with it anyway. Here's what the
Colorado Sun rights. God, I love this. Jesse Paul by
the one who's writes this. Colorado is poised to raise

(07:26):
the minimum age to buy a firearm am to twenty
one and require that retailers keep bullets in an enclosed
display or behind the counter where customers could not access
them without assistance. Think about how stupid that is. That's
that's like saying we're gonna keep cigarettes, which they obviously do,

(07:51):
you know, behind and they've got to reach behind the
counter and get ju your cigarettes, and we prohibit you know,
kids under the age of twenty one from smoking cigarettes.
But they somehow managed to get it anyway, They somehow
managed to get alcohol, and they'll somehow manage to get AMMO.
But set all of that aside for a moment. It's

(08:12):
blatantly unconstitutional the sun rights. The changes would be made
through House Bill eleven thirty three, which was introduced last
week by Democrats and the Colorado Legislature. Oh by the way,
the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals decision was released January thirtieth,
so that's what that's seven days ago. So it's not like, well,

(08:34):
I was going to say, it's not like the yahoo's
at the polit Bureau don't know about this case. But
then again I think, well, give him a break, Michael.
These really are dumbass Democrats, So they really may not
know about this case, but their staffs do. And the
stupid Colorado Attorney General of Colorado knows, you know that
God must to be the next governor. He knows too.

(08:56):
House Majority Leader Monica Durant or Ridge, Democrat and one
of the lead sponsors, says this, we know the impacts
of gun violence, so it's just trying to make sure
we continue building upon what we've done already. You mean,
like trying to hippit the sale of guns to people
under the age of twenty one, which has been ruled unconstitutional,

(09:21):
and so now you're going to do this with this one.
Stores that violate the change proposed by House Bill eleven
thirty three would be subject to a civil infraction. Subsequent
offenses would be considered a Class one misdemeanor, misdemeanor punishable
by jail time. It would also require retailers to verify

(09:42):
someone's age upon delivery when sending AMMO through the mail,
such as by checking identification when dropping off of package.
You know, when you order something like I get packages,
you know, say from Apple or from a place where
our order shirts. Uh, and they and it comes from overseas,

(10:03):
and so sometimes you have to you know, sign for
You cannot wave your signature on Apple products because they
don't want you know, they don't want somebody stealing, you know,
a three thousand dollars computer. Well, I understand that, but
they don't verify my age.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
No.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
In fact, all they care about is somebody fat address
enters the door here, signed for this and take it
that's all they care about. So now you order AMMO
and he gets delivered by fed X or DHL or UPS.
Not only will the UPS and fed X or DHL
driver have to identify that you are the person, but

(10:44):
now uh, I got to check your age? I mean
what what? What?

Speaker 4 (10:48):
What?

Speaker 1 (10:48):
What do we think? This is a bar? You're checking
my agency if I'm old enough to buy Ammo. By
the way, how would the DHL UPS fed X driver
know what's in the package? Is the same big you know,
read letters like it was radioactivem verify age. Democrats are
so stupid. The legislation Colorado Sun Rights is among a

(11:14):
number of bills being pursued by Democrats in the legislature
this year that would tighten gun regulations. Of course, we've
talked about Senate Bill three, which would ban the manufacturer
and sale with certain certains. I like the way they
put certain semi automatic rifles, shotguns, and handguns that can
accept detachable ammunition magazines, which is virtually every semi automatic

(11:36):
gun in the in the history of mankind. And of course,
it points out that the Republicans and gun right groups
are opposed to all the measures except one that would
make the penalties for stealing a firearm uniform regardless of value. Okay,
that's fine. No, actually it's not fine. I'm opposed to
any of this. I don't care how rational, reasonable, or

(11:57):
even constitutional it may be. I don't like Democrats telling me.
For example, I still oppose. Now there's been a bill
introduced in Congress that would impose national reciprocity on concealed carry,
which is fine. But how about a bill at the
federal level that says any license to conceal carry is

(12:22):
unconstitutional and therefore prohibited by the federal government. Because what
you're saying, even if you grant national reciprocity, so called
constitutional carry, even if you grant national reciprocity, that simply means, oh,
in Colorado, I still have to go get a concealed
carry license to exercise my Second Amendment rights. And now

(12:46):
New Mexico has to accept that license as valid in
their state, or Massachusetts does, or Illinois. This battle against
guns is absolutely insane. And I know that Tom Sullivan
who's pushing Senate Bill three, I know his son was

(13:06):
murdered out of the Aora theater. And I feel sorry
for Senator Sullivan because of the son's death, but nothing
that he is doing will do anything to either bring
his son back or to prevent this from ever happening again,
which you know is one of the tropes that absolutely
drives me up the wall. Well, we're going to fix

(13:27):
this so it never happens again. Well, as Ecclesiastes tells us,
there's nothing new under the sun, and bad things happen,
and bad things will continue to happen. We we have,
you know, we need. Yesterday I talked about paradigm shifts
and how what Trump is doing is what we ask
him to do. We're looking at a complete paradigm shift

(13:50):
in government spending, government expenditures, government programs, everything, a complete
paradigm shift. Well, we need a paradigm shift in how
we look at legislation and how we look at things
that are designed to protect us. Now, again, I'm not
an anarchist. I'm not saying that we don't need health regulations,
we don't need food inspections, we don't need whatever might

(14:12):
be reasonable. But we really have reached the point in
this country where we're scared of our own shadow. I mean,
if you really want you know this stupid what is it?
Operation Zero or whatever they call it, where they will eliminate,
you know, deaths on the highways in Colorado. Well, there
was an announcement on the news, I think last night

(14:33):
or the night before last about how the Colorado State
Patrol is going to be out enforced during Super Bowl
Sunday to look for drunk drivers, especially in Adams County,
because there are too many drunk drivers in Adams County.
And I thought, well, wait a minute, so there's an
acceptable number of drunk drivers, but Adams County, you've exceeded

(14:53):
that number. Well, why don't you tell us what the
number is Colorado State Patrol, because I'm told that it's zero,
and the only way to get to zero is to
and I'm not even sure this would work, but my
theory is, reduce the speed limit every you know, in
some neighborhoods in Colorado they're doing this, and I should

(15:14):
specify some neighbors neighborhoods in Denver they're doing it. They're
reducing the speed limit to twenty miles an hour in
order to protect pet to protect peds. I guess if
you hit a ped at a pedestrian at twenty miles

(15:34):
an hour and you just keep on driving you could
certainly cause at a minimum broken bones, internal injuries, perhaps
a TBI, a traumatic brain injury, and possibly death. Even
at twenty miles an hour. You know, you might just
run a woman with your tires kaboom, kaboom, and they

(15:55):
end up well, you know, DRT dead right there.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Weren't they also trying to get rid of heavy your vehicles.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
They're trying to heavier vehicles.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
No more subs because they're heavier, heavy, cause more damage
even slower speeds.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, So in that case, why don't we eliminate eighteen
wheelers because they're damn heavy?

Speaker 3 (16:12):
Are those damn electric vehicles that are heavier because of
the batteries.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Eliminate them too? Which gets to the logical extension or
conclusion of my entire argument. Let's just get rid of
vehicular traffic, vehicular travel smart, just go back to horses.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Put in more bike lanes, more.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Bike lanes, exactly, just more bike lanes. But let's think
about one more aspect about this legislation in Colorado. The
reason I bring up the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals
and the US Supreme Court is that they have already
ruled that based on the Supreme Court's decision in Heller

(16:53):
Bruin Raheemi, all of these cases, the New York case,
which is the Brewin case, all of these cases, they
have ruled these kinds of restrictions based on what was
in common use and what was kind of commonly done,
you know, back in seventeen eighty nine at the adoption
of the constitution, uh that that should be the base

(17:16):
as well. We most of the patriots in the Revolutionary
War were in the age of twenty one. How old
was how old was Thomas Jefferson? What in his maybe
in his late twenties, early thirties. I'd have to go
back and look, but he wasn't like, you know, forty
five fifty five years old. The point is this, the

(17:37):
Colorida legislature, the Colorida Puloit Bureau is going to pass
this law. All Republicans will make a big scream of it,
and they'll you know, scream and holler, but it'll get
passed anyway, because we keep electing a majority of Democrats,
and then tax payers will have to pay the Attorney
general and probably the legal fees of the you know,

(17:59):
the defendants who will appeal this case, and they'll lose
because the Fifth Circle in the Supreme Court have already
ruled that these kinds of restrictions are unconstitutional. But democrats
in Colorado time is just right. Don't give a rats
ass about the US Constitution, Michael.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
In the story you were quoting from regarding the post
restriction of sale of ammunition to folks twenty one and older,
the journalists referred to bullets. Bullets are pieces of lead.
They are not cartridges. It's me crazy there. There's a

(18:39):
very important difference there.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
That was in the story. I mean, I missed that
in the story.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
That's what he said that you had quoted about the
story about the sale of bullets.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Oh well, then I'm just I'm reading the story. So
if that's what they said, I'm I'm yes, I get
your technicality, and the technicality shows their ignorance of what's
going on, But don't lose sight of the larger picture.
And the larger picture is they're continuing this assault on

(19:10):
gun rights, and Colorado is in many aspects. I think
Colorado is now worse than California. It's worse than Massachusetts,
it's worse than Illinois. And if you recall, it was
one day earlier this week that I think I talked

(19:33):
about on this program I know is talked about over
on Freedom, and that is that Cola Colorado's have a
higher favorability view of Republicans than they do Democrats. So
I'll tell you why it is. It's because we have
a completely decimated, incompetent, stupid state party run by Dave

(19:59):
Williams and lesson. Until Dave Williams is gone and we
reconstitute the Colorado Republican Party, we're going to continue to lose. Now,
you cannot just instantaneously go from a red state to
a blue state. And we did that through a concerted

(20:20):
effort by Striker Gill and Polis, through a manual they
freely published called The Blueprint about how to turn Colorado Blue,
how to take progressive politics and implement it throughout state government,
local government in Colorado. Look around you, just look around you.

(20:41):
They succeeded. And what do Republicans do. They bitch and moan.
They bitch and moan instead of really getting organized, and
instead they had these little internecine fights among themselves between
you know, the never Trumpers and the Trumpers. I mean,
it's like, good grief. Don't you just want to win
an election, and you're not going to turn Colorado red overnight,

(21:06):
so you're going to have to elect, to God forbid,
some moderate Republicans. Do you think, for example, do you
think that a Thomas Massey or Rand Paul or for
that matter of Michael Brown could ever be elected in
the first congressional district in Colorado, which basically encompasses Denver.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
No.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
First of all, you have an entrenched incomment Diana to Get,
who I believe could be defeated, but not by someone
as radically conservative as me because I can't garner enough
unaffiliated votes. But I think a moderate Republican who is

(21:52):
able to communicate how bad things are in Denver because
of Democrat policies and how rep Publican slash conservative policies
would make their lives better, richer, more prosperous, safer, could
possibly squeak out a win or Diana to get. But

(22:15):
oh no, we'll never do that. We'll nominate some right
wing nut job like me to go run against Diana
to get, and you're gonna lose your ass. We just
don't get the practicality of politics. You can't. You can
just overnight flip the switch. There is an exception some

(22:35):
catastrophic event, and Denver might be approaching that catastrophic event.
They're going to shut down funding for sanctuary cities, which
I believe they have the absolute right to do. Any
federal funding for someone who is blatantly violating federal law,
they can cut off the funding for that. And then

(22:57):
I noticed last night Chris vanderven over at Channel nine,
he was on the he was on the X machine,
and he was live tweeting or semi live tweeting about
the raids that Ice was doing over in Aurora and questioning,
you know, and then even what's the Hispanic guy's name?

(23:20):
Over on Channel thirty one he also they were all
questioning the success of the raids that took place by
Ice Ice yesterday. And then Dragon earlier this morning pointed
out to the Chiron and they're at least on Fox News,
they're reporting that they made more than a hundred arrests yesterday.

(23:45):
I'd call that a success. I would absolutely call that
a success. So we're told that it's in our imagination
about trenda Arragua, and we're told that you know, somehow, oh,
we owe it to these people, and you know, we
have to be in. You know, the mayor of Chicago
was on the news this morning talking about Chicago's an

(24:06):
open city and we're welcoming everybody. Well, that sounds like
Mike Johnson at Denver. At some point, Denver's going to
be in the crapper, if it isn't already, because these
Democrat policies, businesses are going to start fleeing Denver. They're
going to start moving to the burbs. There are places

(24:27):
in downtown Denver. I haven't been there in ages that
I'd like to go eat, But you know what, I
just really because I just don't want to. I know
the risk is minimal that if I go to a
restaurant on Larimer Square or in Rhino or somewhere in
downtown Denver, that the likelihood of me and Tamra being

(24:52):
the target of some gang banger or getting caught in
crossfire or just some nut job or a homeless person
or whatever it is, it's probably somewhat low. But I
do know this that if that minimal chance actually occurs,
the consequences can be catastrophic, not necessarily because they could

(25:13):
kill us, but because I might kill them. And if
I kill them, now, now I've got to. I got
a lawyer up. I gotta get ready because you know, oh,
he's that you know, talk show host. He must make
a bazillion dollars a year, and you know he owns
a couple of cars, and you know he's he dresses

(25:35):
pretty nicely. So he's got deep buckets and probably has
some insurance too, And so let's let's sue his ass.
I just don't want that. Still't want it. That's a
real risk that I actually try to avoid. That's a
legitimate risk, and I and I've and I've analyzed it.
So for the Tom Sullivan's of the world and the

(25:56):
Democrats of the world who think that we're all out
here just wanting to go shoot somebody, you couldn't be
more wrong about that. I went the cops. If somebody's
got to get shot, I want it to be a
cop shooting somebody. I don't want to have to be
a civilian. But in Denver, well, cops are busy doing

(26:16):
other things, you know, monitoring bike lanes, stopping people that
might drive a little too fast at rush hour. They
got up to forty five miles now during rush hour,
and they're weaving and out of traffic and Oh my gosh,
they're a hazard. Yea grief. It's probably about January sixth

(26:37):
for a moment. So Pam Bondi gets sworn in yesterday
as the Attorney General of the United States, Hallelujah, hallelujah.
And there's this ongoing purge at the Department of Justice
and the FBI. Now, rumor has it that maybe sometime
late tonight or even tomorrow, the Senate will vote both

(26:59):
Tulsiga and Cash Betel for the d n I and
the FBI Director, respectively, out of committee, probably on a
long I'm going to assume on a party line vote.
But that's fine because that means that the Republicans on
those committees have decided that Tulsi and Cash are appropriate nominees,

(27:20):
and they'll get the votes in the Senate and they'll
get confirmed, and we can. You think USAID has been interesting,
wait until Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice and
the FBI start doing their analysis of things that have
been wrong. And that gets me to this purge that's
ongoing at the DOJ and the FBI. We've already had

(27:43):
some prosecutors, a dozen of them actually, who've been hired
temporarily to handle this massive case load that's going to
occur because of this purge, and I you know, knowing
how DC works, I'm certain that they're also starting to
look at some permanent hires to put in place so

(28:05):
that they can start focusing on the real work of
the DOJ and the FBI, and at the same time
additional permanent hires to deal with the inevitable lawsuits are
going to occur because of people getting fired for doing
things that they probably shouldn't have been doing. Now, let

(28:25):
me draw a distinction that I want you to understand.
If if you're a worker bee at DOJ or FBI
and you're ordered to do something, it's not like you
have in the military that you have this right to
disobey and unlawful order. Now, if you're ordered to do

(28:47):
something illegal and your secretary or you're a paralegal or something,
you're caught in an ethical dilemma about either doing that
or not doing it. And if you do do it,
I think you are still subject to prosecution if you
actually do something that is provable as being illegal. Now,

(29:08):
if it's something that you're doing that you just don't
think is right, yeah, I think that's a different story.
So last week Emil Bove, who is the acting Deputy
Attorney General, sent a memo, a system wide FBI memo
that wanted information about everybody involved in the January sixth prosecution.

(29:31):
And I've got a copy of the survey. We'll walk
through the survey in just a minute. But in reporting
yesterday CNN, the deadline was tuesday. Oh yeah, it was
Tuesday at noon noon for the FBI supervisors to turn
over the results. And we found out that, well, hang on,

(29:56):
this is too lengthy. I'll do it after the break.
My mother requested I take her the waffle House for
her birthday. While there, found out that on Valentine State
they are only taking resignations or to go warps at
the waffle house.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
I guess, So get all fancy and gussied.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Up and the house. That's right. You know what means.
It means you get a fresh pack of cigarettes to
put in your pocket or to put up in your
sleeve of your wife beater. That's what you do. Yeah,
you put on a clean baseball cap backwards. There you go, CNN. Now,

(30:41):
the guy you're going to hear is Philip Mudd. He
is the former senior intelligence advisor to the Director of
the FBI. Uh, they're asking about the removal of these agents,
you know, and and by the way, another detail you
need to know. They haven't been fired. They've been put

(31:04):
on administrative leave pending an investigation, which means they're still
getting paid. And I know that may piss some people off,
but that's what you do. That's what the law requires,
and quite honestly, I think that's the fair Personally, I
think that's the fair thing to do. I'm not going

(31:24):
to prejudge them. I want them to get due process,
and you should too. As much as that frustrates you,
you should want it.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Also, you stood up earlier in your career.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
The FBI is domestic counter terrorism at capabilities in the
wake of nine to eleven, you have kind of a
deep understanding of the stakes of this kind of action.
Can you help us understand what they are?

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Well, there's a couple of pieces here.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
First, the numbers.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
You're talking about thousands of people. Whether you're divide that
into what Trump people call partisans or a BROADERI population,
that's a substantial portion of the FBI. So if you're
looking at national security issues like counter terrorism and counterintelligence.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
What he doesn't realize he's done is he's just admitted
that because I've heard unseen upwards of five thousand, six thousand,
eight thousand FBI agents all assigned to January sixth that day,
and to the prosecutions, the investigations and the prosecutions, and

(32:31):
in terms of the percentage of the employees of the FBI,
that's absurd, utterly absurd.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
And some of those agents or analysts worked on the
case against President Trump with some of his advisors. That's
a lot of people, and so that can impact mission,
especially in a short to mid term if you remove
those people suddenly from the table.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
There is a personal piece here.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
You can't be sitting around in New York or Washington
or elsewhere at the fifty plus FBI offices across the
country and not having a have a couple of coffees
saying am I next. So there's a nervousness about joining
the service and saying what do I get?

Speaker 1 (33:07):
You don't want to find fascinating about that. Welcome to
the real world, Welcome to the f and real world.
People that go to work on a daily basis wondering
if is today to day they're going to do the
reduction enforces today, the day they're going to do the
layoffs is to day to day that I'm going to
get fired because you know, we haven't had enough customers,

(33:28):
or we lost a big contract or whatever it might be.
Welcome to the real world Bookoh do you live in
this fantasy land? Do you live in a fantasy land
where you're protected at all costs for my service?

Speaker 4 (33:39):
Am I going to be fired? And then there's the
bigger piece about whether thousands of people go and that
affects not just investigations into political corruption, which is a
very small piece of the FBI, but also counterintelligence and
counter terrorism stuff from agents and analysts who were detailed
to work on those Trump investigations.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Which is another thing he doesn't realize, he says, is that, oh,
you know, whether you were doing this, that, or that,
including political corruption, which is really a very small part.
Oh So, if political corruption, which would include things like
you know, the Trump impeachment in January sixth and all
of that, if that is a really small part of

(34:17):
your job, then why were so many agents assigned to it?
And then on the other hand, I would ask, well,
if political corruption is part of your job. What did
you do for the past four years? Huh Oh, you
actually covered up evidence that you had in your possession

(34:37):
that showed the Hunter Biden laptop, which showed that oh yeah,
the big guy help with the Dante was getting ten
percent of the posting. And you kept that in wraps
in a evidence blocker room somewhere, or maybe in the
director's desk blocked up. Well, I know
