ithuania got attacked by a Russian suicide drone. I'm seeing somebody report that in the comments, but I wouldn't take that as a fact yet. That sounds unusual. Apparently T-Mobile had a thriving DEI program or set of programs, but they're going to get rid of all their DEI according to Newsmax because they need FCC approval for some mergers and deals they want to do. So once again, it wasn't enoug…

had a lot of contact with John Brennan because they were in the CIA at the same time. And he describes John Brennan as a ruthless, quote, very bad guy. He said, quote, "John was just torture, torture, torture. We got to torture these guys," talking about terrorists and stuff. "We got to do this. We got to do that. We need to start killing more people. We need to get out there and start shooting." John Brennan is a very bad guy from day one. He was a bad guy.

Well, and I guess Brennan was notorious for expanding drone strikes and brutal interrogation tactics. Hm.

Well, John Brennan appeared on MSNBC, the network that we think is most associated with being a tool of the CIA. And I've seen John Brennan in a lot of interviews, but I've never seen him look this worried. He acted like he was scared to death, like they have him. And he lashed out in exactly the way you'd expect. He compared the US to Nazi Germany under Trump. And he said, "If the president of the United States is willing to weaponize intelligence and justice, we really are in deep, deep trouble."

Now, do you recognize that approach? Have we ever mentioned that the Democrats always project? Literally the reason that he's in the public eye is because he's being accused of the very thing he says that Trump is doing, which is weaponizing the CIA and the FBI and Department of Justice. So he might have a point that weaponizing those things would be a bad idea, but it doesn't mean that's what's happening now.

It seems to me that they're pretty credible accusations that would suggest he was behind an insurrection and that Obama knew about it, was part of it, and that they were trying to overthrow or change the government of the United States without using the legal process.

Now, do you think he's guilty? Well, I'm no expert, but I can tell you I thought he was guilty from the first time I saw him and Clapper doing their interviews. They just looked guilty as hell. I've never seen two people who acted more guilty from the start than those two guys. But you know, I'm not magic. I can't read minds. I just know that my impression of them from the start was, "Whoa, not only are you lying," it seemed to me. But it looks like you're the masterminds behind the whole thing. And app

arently they're being accused of being the masterminds behind the whole thing. Why did it take us years to get to this point? Well, apparently the way our government works and the justice system is that it takes five years before somebody admits that something was wrong and action is taken and by then you're just tired of the story and it just doesn't have the impact it would if they had started…
