Speaker 1 (00:00):
The USAID Acting Secretary send an email telling the team
to shred and burn documents. Nothing to see here.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Move on along.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Yeah, we'll get to that story in a minute. But
I want to I want to start. Let's go over
to the UK this morning, because well, we need some
bangers and mash for breakfast. That's why I'd like to
go over to the UK this morning. But we often
hear and I don't know. Let me start out by

(00:34):
going to a text message, because I think the text
message may explain why I disbelieve some of the stats
that I read about illegal immigration and the rate at
which they quit they commit crimes. So Google number fifty
five sixty six texted this was last night about nine thirty,

(00:58):
so obviously I didn't see it. Uh, but here's what.
Here's what fifty five fifty six wrote, Mike been googling
and ducking regarding research disproving global warming, such as CFC's
hfc co to their actual contribution to the environment. Google
is a waste of time. Any articles taking skeptically Taken

(01:20):
skeptically tends to show how to debunk the skeptics view.
Even dot dot go is much better. Let me put
a footnote here dot dot Go, which is one that
I use probably as much as I use Google, is
actually more about privacy than it is about objective search results.

(01:42):
I've actually started using as a jumping off point. I've
started using like uh Google's ai. I've been using uh
an ai called perplexity UH. I use chat gd GPT
a little bit, just as a starting point to get some.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Search terms.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Not they won't necessarily give you links, but they'll give
you search terms. So with regard to duck duck Go,
I've reached the point where I don't put much confidence
in duck duck go, and more than I do any
of the others. Of course, then if you go to tour,
if you use a Tour browser, they use Firefox, I think,

(02:22):
and Firefox might.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Be a little bit better.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
But I discovered that the whole world's feeding you a
bunch of ball crap. It's really difficult to find the
truth about what's going on things. So anyway, back to
the text message, even duck duck go isn't much better.
Look through ten search pages and still nothing really good.
First of all, that's amazing. Always glance at the first

(02:48):
page and the first page half the first page of
any search engine is going to be sponsored, sponsored, sponsored,
So you have to get to the bottom half of
the first page, and then you have to start going
to this and third fourth page to start finding anything.
And of course goobn number fifty five sixty six says
I went through ten pages and still nothing really good

(03:08):
about The only one that's closed is a study of
CO two increases after temperature rises. But then the articles
talk that they are still trying to confirm how to
read the timeline in the ice to your point about
scientific research of pricing and disproving theories, they are still
researching Einstein's theory of relativity after one hundred years you have.

(03:30):
The science of global warming is only what twenty years old?
My point exactly. However, there's a larger point to this
text message that I want to apply to this first
story about going to the United Kingdom.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
We keep hearing.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
And I I didn't pull up any articles because I'm
just going to give you generically what you know to
be what we are told by the cabal. There are
a few sources of immigration organizations. They they are nonprofits.

(04:10):
They're not in g os in the sense that we're
currently thinking of mngos, but there are some institutes think
tanks that focus on illegal immigration where you can get
some what I would consider to be reliable data. But
we know that generally speaking, we are told by the
cabal that illegal aliens, migrants, whatever phrase depending, because migrants

(04:37):
is the term using the UK.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Newcomers, newcomers.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
I love the newcomers, you know, and this country is
just a big ass welcome wagon.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Were where you know? Can I?

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Oh, I'm sorry, but now that you said that dragon,
that made something else pop in my head?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Can I? May I have permission to chase the squirrel.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
This way in the morning and we're already chasing squirrels.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Go for it? May I please go for it?

Speaker 3 (04:59):
So we're watching the precursor, the pre prequel, the precursor,
the prequel to Yellowstone. I have to confess I've never
watched Yellowstone.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Do you watch it?

Speaker 4 (05:15):
We do not, missus. Redbird is trying to get into it.
She's like, eh, but we've got so many other shows
stacked up, so it'll get there eventually, I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
I tried, and I just couldn't get into the first
couple of episodes, So I may try again sometime.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
But there's a prequel, and I think.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
It's called seventeen oh eight, seventeen eighty three or nineteen
eighteen eighty three number.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, it's a number whatever it is. Is it called.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
It's got Harrison Ford and Helen Mirraham as the.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Two leading characters and big wigs. Yeah, and it's damn good.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
But one of the sons of the original Dutton family
is For those of you that are Yellowstone Officionado's I'm
sure I'm astradizing this story, but just bear with me.
I know I don't claim to be an expert on Yellowstone,
but of this original Dutton family that settled this ranch

(06:10):
in Montana, one of the sons is a big game
hunter that's been over in Africa somewhere and they've asked
him to come home to help with the ranch because
cattle prices are down and the ranch is struggling and
they're facing foreclosure and there's some problems. And this is
the original family. This is the pre Kevin Costner family.
This is the Harrison Ford family. This is the prequel.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
This is the prequel I'm talking about. Yah.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
So in the prequel, the Sun is making his way
back from you know, the other side of the world, Africa, India, wherever.
He's been doing some big game hunting to come back
to the country, to come back to the United States
to help the family, and on the way he meets
a girl. On one of the ships. He meets a girl. Right,
guy meets girl. It's a great story. However, they get separated,

(06:59):
but she's a love with him. Don't want to give
a way too much. Turns out we find out she's pregnant.
But I'll tell you how we find out she's pregnant
in a minute. But she finally gets on steerage somehow
and starts her way from She's originally from the UK,
but she I don't think she's traveling from the UK

(07:19):
to New York, but she's traveling somewhere from somewhere to
New York. And she finally lands in New York and
her ship. They take certain people off the ship to
process through Ellis Island. They take her and these others
to another location to be processed, and in the process

(07:44):
they show what immigration into this country now. Honestly, it's
still the law now. I don't think they would practice
or implement the law the way they did in the
in the series, but It shows how far off we've gone.
Why is Siri sitting here talking what I'm saying? I

(08:10):
don't want to Sirih go away.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
I don't want you.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
So they are she lands. She asks why do I
have to go to this other place? And I'm not
quite sure except maybe it's because they're from a particular country.
So she gets off. She's waiting in line. She goes
through at least five immigration officers. The first is where

(08:35):
are you from? Why are you here? Where are you going?
What are you going to be doing? How are you
going to support yourself? All the questions that should be
asked of anyone that wants to come here, and she
answers them. Now, she is a highly intelligent, well educated
but because she has run away, she doesn't really have

(08:58):
a lot of money. She doesn't really have a lot
of All she knows is the family has a ranch
in Montana, and she eventually wants to get to Montana. Now,
she and the Dutton guy that she's chasing, who's also
trying to.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Make his way back to the United States.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
They've been separated, so she tells the second immigration officer
that she is married to this guy, and the immigration
officer looks up at her as if to say, you lie,
sack of poop. How many dime store Western novels have
you read to tell me that.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
You have many stories?

Speaker 3 (09:37):
How many people come through here who tell me, Yes,
my husband's in Montana, or my husband's in Colorado, or
my husband's in Wyoming and he has a cattle ranch,
and I'm going to meet him because we got married somewhere.
He says, I've heard about I've heard that story a
thousand times from a thousand different people who are just
trying to sneak into the country. And he denies entry

(09:58):
but still lets her process this through. He doesn't technically
deny entry. He just says, I don't I'm not going
to grant you immediate entry. You have to go through
the next steps. So she goes through the next step.
You know what the next steps are a physical examination.
The first doctor, well it's pretty much the same doctor originally.

(10:19):
The doctor, uh, you know, does a physical exam with
her clothes on, checks her lymph nodes, make you know,
takes a tongue to pressure a tongue depress depress her,
checks her temperature, kind of just kind of feels around
for any lumps and bumps and stuff. Checks her balleiescy
if she's pregnant, you know, because there's a woman that

(10:42):
is also visibly pregnant. She's probably seven months eight months along. Uh,
where's your husband? You don't have a husband. She gets
turned back because she's bringing a baby here without a
husband and without.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Any visible means of support.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
And she gets turned around and she gets deported back
before she steps foot on American soil. So now let's
go back to the woman who's chasing the Dutton boy.
She then gets to the second doctor. Doctor makes her strip.
Now she's getting really upset because she comes from an
aristocratic family and she's not accustomed to this. And she,

(11:16):
you know, he's like, well, if you want to get
in the country, you're gonna take your clothes off. And he,
you know, she wants to know why, Well, because I'm
checking you. And he does a thorough examination, including finally,
get up on the table, spread your legs, and he
does a vaginal examination. And he doesn't say anything, but

(11:39):
he checks everything out. She's obviously very healthy, and he says,
put your clothes back on, and then he'd look, there's
a dramatic pause, and he looks at her, and he goes,
do you know you're pregnant? And she goes. She's trying
to decide do I lie or tell the truth, and

(12:01):
she finally because she's known the other pregnant woman got deported,
so she says, yes, I know. That's why I'm going
to Montana for my husband. And she keeps repeating the
story about getting to Montana to meet the Dunton guy.
How far along are you? She says, I think I'm
three maybe four months along, and he marks it down

(12:25):
and he goes, now you have to go to somebody else,
and he goes to somebody. She goes to somebody else,
and the other guy, the final guy, grills her and
he's like, can you even read?

Speaker 2 (12:40):
You know?

Speaker 3 (12:41):
And she and now she's getting offended and now she's
getting defensive and she says something, you know, damn right,
I can read, and so he pull he turns around.
He grabs a big book and it's either Dickenson or
it's you know, Shakespeare, or it's somebody it's maybe it
was Whitman. I think it may have been Whitman, because

(13:01):
it's a book of poems or passages or something. And
he hands with the book and she picks it up
and she says, oh, let's just say it's Walt Whitman,
and she goes, oh, Whipman and he looks at her
like as if you really you know who that is.
And then she opens it up and she starts thumbing

(13:22):
through it, and he says to her, oh, no, just
any page, and she looks up and says, no, I'm
looking for a particular passage that applies to this situation
that you and I are in. And she thumbs through
and she finds it, and then she reads something about

(13:42):
you know, trusting people and people telling the truth and
people seeking to you know, better their lives and you know,
and and she cites the entire Ezra Lazarth's poem.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
She does everything.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
And this guy is just dumbfounded by this woman's obviously
high intellect, and he's ready to deny her entry because
of the dime store cowboy story about I'm chasing a
cowboy that you know owns a cattle ranch in Montana
and you're pregnant. You got all these things against you.
But as he keeps watching her, he realizes this isn't

(14:16):
the typical immigrant trying to get into the country that
just wants to, you know, try to live off the
government and do whatever. And she looks up at it
and says, you know, before you go home, you might
want to wipe that lipstick that you have over here
on your collar off. And he kind of you can tell,

(14:40):
He's like, oh, uh, oh, you see that. I didn't
realize it was there. And he pauses and he finally
stamps her papers grants her entry. And I'm sitting there
watching this thinking, not necessarily we need to do vaginal
examinations of people coming into this country, but we do

(15:02):
have on the laws, It's on the books that you
cannot come into this country if you have communicable diseases,
if you have tuberculosis, if you have measles, if you
have any sort of you know, if you've got dip theory,
you've got you know whatever, you're not allowed in this country.
And you have to have a visible means of support.

(15:22):
You either have to have a sponsor, you have to
have a job, or you have to have the wherewithal
financially to support yourself. And I'm watching this from the
nineteen twenties or whenever this series is taking place, and
I'm thinking, Holy cow they have actually presented, although a
little over the top dramatized what immigration used to be.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Like.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Now, I say all of that because how many times
are we told that Americans natural born citizens create a
higher per capita rate of crime than do illegal aliens. Now,
if you were to go research that, that's probably the

(16:11):
search results as that text as five five six six
says that those are except he was doing climate, you're
probably going to get all of those results about Oh yeah,
it's it's clearly that you know, we we paint illegal
aliens as being more crime ridden then we do American citizens,

(16:34):
and we're really it's just the opposite on the per
capita basis. Well, I'm sure that if I saw the
actual stats, I can manipulate the stats and turn it around.
But I ran across this story migrants, because now we're
talking about the United Kingdom. Migrants are seventy percent more
likely to commit sex crimes compared to natives in the

(16:55):
United Kingdom, according to this new data, While details on
the ethnic in the and the migration backgrounds of the
offenders has been largely undisclosed by authorities, which I find
to be a curious story in and of itself. If
you've done this study that shows that migrants writ large

(17:15):
or seventy percent more likely to commit sex crimes, but
you don't want to give the details on the ethnic
or the migration backgrounds of the offenders. Why oh, because
turns out they might be Muslim men. This was all
discovered by their freedom of the information requests by their

(17:36):
what's called the Center for Migration Control and it highlights
a trend. The trend is what fascinates me, you know,
I love trends. From twenty twenty one to twenty twenty three,
migrants or illegal aliens, but its migrants in the UK.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Or individuals with unknown.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Nationality accounted for nearly twenty five percent of all sexual
offenses including rape in the in the United Kingdom. Now
why is that notable? That is a notable statistic given
that migrants represent only nine percent of the population. Get
the account for nearly twenty five percent of all sexual

(18:16):
offenses And this Center of the Center for Migration Controls
analysis reveals significant variations among different groups. North Africans have
a six point six fold increased likelihood the committee sex
crimes compared to Britain's Middle Easterns three point eight times,

(18:37):
subsherent Africans two point six times more like Michael Dragon.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
You'll behaving at it?

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Why no, no, you've left to talk back for the
wrong station, I think because we don't we don't do that.
Sorry if I gave you a spoiler alert, but describe
yet nineteen twenty three, eighteen thirty seven or what see?
They're just numbers to me. This is this is why

(19:06):
when I when I watch, I'm just doing a free entertainment.
That's all I'm doing. The other one had Sam Elliott.
That one the or even the prequel to that is
even good too. That was a really good one too,
so much better than Yellowstone. So anyway, even if it's
a spoiler alert for you about the immigration uh portion,

(19:27):
you should obviously still watch it because you may pick
up on some details that I missed, So betch in.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
A Batchelor spoiler alert.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
So really, one one last thing, So let me repeat
those numbers again, because they're really astonishing. And the point is,
I think there's probably a corollary between these numbers in
the United Kingdom and the numbers here. Why wouldn't there be,
except well, I can I can make one argument why
it wouldn't be, and that is the n nationality of

(20:01):
those who are coming into the United Kingdom illegally. So
go back from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty three,
migrants or individuals that had unknown nationality accounted for almost
a quarter of all sexual offenses, including rape in the
United Kingdom. Yet that group of people, those illegal aliens,

(20:25):
those migrants, represent only nine point three percent of the population,
yet they're committing almost twenty five percent of the sex crimes.
But then the fact that it took a separate group
to dig in and find out the nationality of these
people is what I found even more disturbing. As I said,

(20:49):
this group called the Center for Migration Control, they did
the analysis and into reveals variations and frankly significant variations
among the different groups North Africans. Remember I've talked about
this wave of migration that occurs from Africa and the
Sub Sahara Africa and the Middle East that's moving through

(21:11):
Europe and completely upending European culture, completely upending Western civilization.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
For that matter.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Here's a way that they're doing it. Here is the
reason why, going back to nineteen twenty three, why you
have an immigration law still on the books in this
country that says if you want to become if you
want to come into this country other than as a tourist,
then you And by the way, if you come in
as a tourist, we need to have a system that says, oh,

(21:39):
by the way, you've overstayed your ninety days or whatever
a tourist visa gives you, and now we're going to
hunt you down and make sure you leave. We're going
to put you on a plane, send you back to Americashure,
wherever the hell you came from. We don't even do that.
Oh so stupid what we do. It's it's cultural suicide,
Absolutely cultural suicide. So let's go back to the analysis

(22:01):
done by the Center for Migration Control. North Africans have
a six point sixfold increased likelihood of committing sex crimes
compared to natural born Brits.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Middle Eastern individuals not quite as bad, but.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Still three point eight times more likely, and then subharent
Africans are two point six times more likely to be
convicted of those offenses. They identified eighty seven foreign ethnic
groups with sex crime conviction rates that surpass those of

(22:40):
native Britons. Why don't we do studies like this in
this country. Why are we just told to accept that,
Oh no, no, no, no, no, they they're they're they're
they're all like they're they're mostly law abiding people that
come into this country.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
Tell that to the people that have had to deal
with train to a ragua or deal with any of
the cartel members. You know, I think one thing that
we are really afraid of in this country, and I
think we're afraid of it because we don't want to
know the truth. Jack Nicholson, I don't think we can
handle the truth, and that is the number of particularly

(23:20):
children and women and men too, but particularly children and
women who are sex trafficked, human trafficked, sold into slavery.
I just want you to think about that for a moment.
That's going on right under our noses. And the Democrat Party, well,

(23:43):
for that matter, of Republicans I don't know of, and
there may be, and if you know somebody, I'd love
to hear about them, because I'll dig into it more
and find out. I'm sure there are groups of you know,
there are charitable organizations, religious organizations and others that try
to track down and save these children and save these

(24:05):
women I'm certain they're out there. I'm just not very
conversant in who they are what they do. But I
do know this. As much as I talk about immigration,
rarely do we have much conversation about child sex trafficking
or human trafficking. And I think that's because it's such

(24:26):
an ugly underbelly that the cabal, even the cabal, as
immoral as they are, they don't.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Want those figures disclosed. They don't want to talk about that.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
And I do believe that if you know, we yesterday
we talked about stripping the crap off of Sixteenth Street
in d C. The Black Lives Matter, the Black Lives
Matter Plaza. Tearing it down, well, good for them.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
And you know.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
All the blacks that run around this kind of talking
about slavery and reparations and all that bull crap, and
it is, it's utter bull crap. We fought a freaking
civil war. Abraham Lincoln put his life on the line
to fight for and get the Thirteenth Amendment, adopted, the
Emancipation Proclamation, the Civil Rights Act, Everything that we have done,
including the hearts and minds of people in this country,

(25:21):
not just the legislative things, not just the legal things,
but the moral change that we have in this country.
How big of you to claim that you need reparations
when you can't trace your descendants at all back to slavery.

(25:43):
You were born into this nation at a time when
whatever your forefathers may have suffered is so removed from
you that you probably can't even name them. And even
if you could name them, how does that tide to
you today.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
Let's also not forget that more black people have come
since slavery that has been abolish.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, exactly, But how can you, how can you have
the audacity to focus on and claim that you need
reparations when or that there is still slavery in this country. Yeah,
but it's not the slavery you want to talk about.
It's not the slavery. It's not the sex trafficking. It's
not the sex crimes that you want to talk about.

(26:29):
It's well, once again, last last night, I don't know why,
but tam there's another series that Tamra Walk watches and
it's called Dark Winds and it's a pretty good series.
I pay ninety percent attention to it. I kind of
like it. But a border patrol agent comes across a
van that's got blood in it, and the van's been abandoned,

(26:52):
somebody's hiding, and uh, this female border agent finds a
mother and a young child. The child is maybe ten
years old, twelve years old at the most. And all
I can think about as I'm watching that so here
is whoever the writer and director is of Dark Winds
kind of trying to subtly remind us that people who

(27:17):
are brought here in you know, script down white vans
are oftentimes and more often than not, because they're both bloody,
they've been beat up or end up in some sort
of sex crime situation and we don't want to talk
about it. Go back to the UK for just a

(27:38):
moment before we take a break. In the broader context
of crime, migrants are disproportionately represented. Over one hundred thousand
migrants in the UK. We're convicted of serious crimes between
twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three, and figures released

(27:59):
last year revealed that, for example, Albanians offend the most.
They have an incarceration rate of two hundred and thirty
two point three three people per ten thousand Albanians. Wow,
that's a pretty high rate. So the ugly secret of

(28:20):
immigration is that I believe in this country that more
crimes are committed by illegal aliens than we want to admit.
And let's say, for the sake of argument, that maybe
it's not quite that bad the crimes that they do commit,
particularly by the cartels and by the gangs and the

(28:43):
horrifical You know, what was it that Trump said one time?
He called them, you know, they were subhuman or something. Well,
guess what, Indeed they are subhuman, Mike.

Speaker 5 (28:56):
Another story you'll never hear about is that in Sweden,
with a population the size of Michigan, they've been averaging
one bombing a day in all of twenty twenty four
and again so far this year, and the vast majority
of those bombings are attributed to ethnic gangs.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Yeah, that's a great story. You beat me to it.
I hadn't thought about that, but I guess I had
read about that. Think about that average of bombing a day.
And yet again it's remember it's not always what the
cabald does by CO mission, it's what they do by

(29:34):
O mission. Now, if there were if there was a
bombing on average, on average, a bombing per day in
this country, Lorden, you know what Let's use something that
we have seen in this country. We've seen in Europe too.
Let's say that there was, on average in this country
someone that grabbed a hum Vy or a suv, well,

(29:58):
I don't care a tesla since you know, tesla's in
the in the dumpster right now, and they drove into
crowds of people.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
The media could not ignore it. Oh, they might try.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
But if it happened in Denver, you know, let's say today,
and then next week it happens in Austin, and the
week after that it happens in Cincinnati, and the week
after that it happens in Tucson. The week after that,
it happens in Casper, the week after that, it happens
in the know, Sacramento.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
At some point, even though they they would all.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
Be national stories because at some point, what would they do, Well,
there would be this outcry about it's all Trump's fault.
Look what Trump's doing. Trump's allowing this to happen somehow,
somehow would be Trump's fault. If Trump cured cancer, they
would bitch about that because he failed to cure HIV.

(30:58):
I mean, I don't know, but that's it's it's do
you get the idea. I just kind of despise them.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
I do. There was an I read this.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
I have still a little bit of skepticism about this
because there's something in in government agencies called burn bags.
I always had a burn bag next to my desk
at DHS headquarters, and it was it was a top

(31:34):
secret bag and I could take documents that we Actually
there were two two burn bags. There was a burn
bag that was just stuff that I just needed to
have destroyed, and then there was one that was kind
of latched that I could put documents in that the
security personnel would come in. Because obviously access to my

(31:55):
office was very limited because I didn't wantch you scum
bags coming in, you know, I just had to have
the muckymus come in. So it was safe to have
a TS burn bag where I would put documents in
and then a security officer would take that and destroy
those top secret documents. I say all that because of

(32:15):
what I'm about to say about USAID. The acting Director,
Erica Carr, has instructed agency staff to begin the process
of shredding and destroying sensitive and personal materials just as
US Customs and Border Protection CBP is set to take

(32:37):
over that office.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Space. Now.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
Despite the corporate media's overhyped headlines with for example, political blast,
USAID official tails remaining staffers, shred and burn all your documents,
the email directive is something seen by most government.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Employees almost every single week.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
The email from Car reads like this, shred as many documents, first,
reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable
or needs a break, and adding that you should use
a sharpie, a black sharpie to write secret and USAID
slash B slash io on their burn bags before they

(33:22):
get picked up by workers that are tasked with and
cleared with document destruction. So when the acting director sent
that memo out on it was yesterday, it amounts to
little more than.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
A final burn bag notice.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
And periodically federal departments and agencies are instructed, indeed to
remove any classified, sensitive, or personal documents that are no
longer being used to get those out of their secured
stories that they might have in their offices, and then
those documents end up getting shredded placed what's called a
burn bag, which as it named, portends has actually been burned.

(34:02):
It's not an action to avoid transparency or wrongdoing. It's
a national security measure. To make certain that employees do
not unnecessarily retain sensitive documents, and they're also used when
an employee gets fired or there's a presidential transition. The
real scandal is that USAID probably didn't follow those protocols.
