Last Friday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released damning evidence against the Obama administration, which she says exposes how they “manufactured the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment that they knew was false, promoting the lie that Vladimir Putin and the Russian government helped President Trump win the 2016 election.” In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people, working with their partners in the media to promote the lie and to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump, essentially enacting a coup against him. Wouldn't this be considered treason? Are we savvy enough to understand that we have been fooled yet again by politicians who wish to do whatever is necessary to gain control?

How ridiculous was it to include the highly salacious and completely fictitious Steele Dossier in the fake intel report Obama ordered to derail Trump? Records reveal career intelligence officials expressed outright shock at the poor quality of the reporting that the FBI repeatedly insisted be included in the Intelligence Community Assessment and objected to any reference to the dodgy dossier. "The View" may be getting sacked. Plus - what are the chances the SAME democrat-appointed judge would get ALL 7 Epstein-related cases? We do the math...

(The Center Square) – Federal officials have released more documents indicating a Democratic-led intelligence community politically targeted President Donald Trump by claiming that Russian President Vladimir Putin influenced the 2016 presidential election to help Trump win. U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified a 2020 House Intelligence Committee report Wednesday that “exposes how the Obama Administration manufactured the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment that they knew was false.” Notably, the report found that the majority of the intelligence community's judgements on Russia's confirmed attempts to meddle with the 2016 election were “sound,” including its findings that Putin ordered “conventional and cyber influence operations” to undermine faith in the U.S. democratic process and the legitimacy of an expected Hillary Clinton presidency.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_058e7635-7e66-4413-b330-041110ad3105.html

This episode is presented by Create A Video – Newly de-classified documents from the intelligence agencies trace the origins of the "Spygate" hoax directly to former President Barack Obama who, in his final days in office in 2016, ordered a new Intelligence Community Assessment to assert that Russia's election interference was to help Donald Trump win. But the intel experts said that was not the case. In fact, it was the opposite.

Declassified Documents Reveal Obama-Era Plot Against Trump Newly unsealed intelligence from DNI Tulsi Gabbard shows that in 2016, Obama officials, led by CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey, buried evidence that contradicted the Trump-Russia narrative. They proceeded with an Intelligence Community Assessment that falsely accused Trump of collusion. Gabbard calls it a treasonous conspiracy to subvert American democracy. Democrats Blame Trump for Colbert Show Cancellation CBS cancels “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” after suffering 40 to 50 million dollars in annual losses. Democrats, including Adam Schiff and Jake Tapper, accuse Trump of political interference, though no evidence supports the claim. Bryan explains how partisan hysteria is replacing reason. Chinese Engineers Removed from U.S. Defense and Agriculture Projects The Pentagon and USDA terminated dozens of Chinese nationals who had access to sensitive systems. Microsoft is criticized for allowing China-based engineers to maintain Department of Defense cloud systems. Bryan says counterintelligence duties should be reassigned from the FBI to a more specialized agency. Youth Male Unemployment Rises Amid AI Disruption New data shows young men, including those with college degrees, are increasingly unemployed at rates equal to those without degrees. Analysts suggest AI-driven changes are reshaping the labor market. Bryan argues that tariffs, reshoring, and skilled trades offer a better path forward for America's young men.

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold covers breaking news that the DOJ has launched criminal investigations into John Brennan and James Comey over misconduct tied to the Trump-Russia probe. Jon walks listeners through the timeline of how the Steele dossier was inserted into the Intelligence Community Assessment against analysts' objections and how Brennan briefed Obama on Hillary Clinton's plan to smear Trump as a Russian asset. He reflects on whether the Epstein memo was timed to distract from these criminal referrals and challenges the audience to think critically rather than fall into confirmation bias or hopium. The show also highlights the Supreme Court's 8-1 decision that cleared the way for Trump's mass federal layoffs, a story Jon predicts will have major long-term consequences. Other topics include USAID's quiet transfer of 11,000 virus samples to the Wuhan lab without safeguards, Linda Yaccarino's sudden resignation from X, media fearmongering over new copper tariffs, and an alleged episode where Trump threatened to bomb Moscow. Jon ends with banter about karaoke at the Deadwood meetup and a reminder not to trust any narrative blindly, especially when the timing feels too perfect.

In this detailed episode, Brad Zerbo and Abbey Blue Eyes dig into the newly declassified CIA review that exposes how John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey manipulated intelligence to push the Russia collusion narrative. They walk through former CIA Director John Ratcliffe's findings, which show Brennan insisted on including the discredited Steele dossier in the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment despite clear objections from senior CIA analysts. The show explores how this flawed process laid the foundation for the FISA warrants and years of investigations targeting Trump and his team. Brad and Abbey highlight the timing of the revelations alongside fresh reports that the FBI has launched criminal investigations into Brennan and Comey, possibly for perjury. They also feature clips from General Flynn demanding accountability, discuss the media's coordinated distractions, and connect the dots to broader efforts to undermine Trump's presidency. The episode wraps with reflections on how these tactics mirror today's psyops and a call for transparency and consequences for those who weaponized government power against political opponents.

Democrat Lawmakers Say “There Needs to Be Blood” Over Deportations Multiple Democrat members of Congress admit their voters want violence to stop Trump's immigration crackdown. One even said people are calling for lawmakers to get shot—or provoke ICE into shootouts. Meanwhile, a gunman opened fire on Border Patrol agents in Texas, injuring three before being killed. Bryan warns that this rhetoric and violence will only escalate as deportations ramp up under the new Triple B law. ICE Cracks Down on LA's MacArthur Park, Mayor Bass Blames Feds ICE launched its biggest raid yet at MacArthur Park, a hotbed of stolen goods, drugs, and gang activity. Migrants fled as officers swarmed the area. LA Mayor Karen Bass called the operation outrageous, claiming children were playing in the park, but ICE pushed back and promised to return. DOJ and FBI Say Epstein Had No Client List - Contradicting Past Statements The DOJ and FBI now claim Jeffrey Epstein had no list of clients and acted alone, contradicting earlier statements from Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI leadership. Bryan recounts how Epstein's original sweetheart deal in 2008 protected co-conspirators and fueled suspicions of intelligence agency involvement. He says the official conclusion reeks of corruption and cover-up. CIA Under Fire Over Russia Hoax Report A newly declassified report reveals that former CIA Director John Brennan manipulated intelligence to falsely claim Russia helped elect Trump in 2016. Brennan personally pushed the discredited Steele dossier into the Intelligence Community Assessment, bypassed standard procedures, and ensured it was leaked. Bryan calls it treasonous and says Brennan deserves prison for trying to sabotage the Republic. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

SERIES 2 EPISODE 81: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump is actually trying to keep his ass out of prison for subverting the 2020 election, by insisting that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. "Russia Russia Russia. And THAT, your honor, is the case for the defense of Dementia J. Trump" Trump is demanding that Judge Tonya Chutkan give his lawyers access to the FULL classified intelligence report proving the 2016 Russian interference, and so what if he's spent seven uninterrupted years honking and bleating about “The Russia Hoax” and denigrating the intelligence community's conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, while insisting there was no Russian interference and making it an article of faith within the Republican Cult that he was cleared of any Russian collusion and election subversion and so what if he WASN'T cleared of Russian collusion and election subversion because there WAS no Russian collusion and election subversion except now his defense is: there was TOO Russian collusion and election subversion. “Whereas the Special Counsel's Office falsely alleges that President Trump ‘eroded public faith in the administration of the election,'” write his lawyers in a light night filing demanding more documents for their defense against Jack Smith's Washington case, “the 2016 Election Intelligence Community Assessment uses strikingly similar language to attribute the origins of that erosion to foreign influence – that is, foreign efforts to ‘undermine public faith in the U-S democratic process,” Plus: Some of Mike Pence's interview with Jack Smith and his Grand Jury testimony has leaked and Trump could go to jail over the placement of a comma. In his book, Pence recounted that he spoke to Trump on Christmas Day of 2020 when the Pence-Can-Block-The-Certification Plot was already well underway. In the book Pence quotes himself as telling Trump – and the punctuation is essential: “You know, I don't think I have the authority to change the outcome." But Pence told the investigators that the comma shouldn't have been there at all and what he said was, quote, “You KNOW I don't think I have the authority to change the outcome,” which suggests that Trump had begun to pressure – to threaten – Pence to violate the constitution at least 13 days before the January 6th coup attempt. And that is DAMNING. Not the colloquial “y'know” but “You KNOW I can't do that.” And some of Liz Cheney's book is out and the shock of all shocks: Donald Trump has actually spent some of his adult life not eating: “She recounts the moment she first found out that McCarthy, fearing he had lost his ability to fundraise, secretly went to visit Trump at Mar-a-Lago just three weeks after the Jan. 6 attack. At first, Cheney thought the photo of the two men smiling and shaking hands was fake. But she was incredulous at McCarthy's defense of his visit. He claimed Trump's staff summoned him. “Mar-a-Lago? What the hell, Kevin?” Cheney asked. “They're really worried,” McCarthy said. “Trump's not eating, so they asked me to come see him.” “What? You went to Mar-a-Lago because Trump's not eating?” Cheney responded. “Yeah, he's really depressed,” McCarthy said. Oh have I got a couple jokes for YOU. B-Block (21:19) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Elon Musk insists on Twitter that Pizzagate is real and the only person who proved it wasn't has gone to jail for child porn. So I'm leaving Twitter. (27:30) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: BBC Washington anchor covers Rosalynn Carter memorial, mispronounces her first name THREE TIMES; Ron DeSantis may have helped kill a guy; Senator John Kennedy gets blown out of the water by a mild-mannered gun violence expert. C-Block (34:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: My friend who wrote all the original "This Is SportsCenter" commercials, Hank Perlman, visited yesterday.

Intelligence Community Assessment on COVID-19 Origins Ignores Readily Available Information

A conveniently timed new "Intelligence Community Assessment" - declassified yesterday, claims that the Russian president directed his spies and proxies to throw the US election to Trump. All the claims and evidence of Biden family corruption were actually just Kremlin spy tricks. Also today, are you ready for your vaccine passport?

Support Pushback at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aaronmate As a senior House Intel investigator and Trump administration official, Kash Patel helped unearth critical misconduct by the intelligence officials who carried out the Trump-Russia probe. In his first extended interview since leaving government, Patel tells Aaron Maté that still-classified documents expose more malpractice, as well as major evidentiary holes in the pivotal -- and largely unquestioned -- claims of a sweeping Russian interference campaign to elect Trump in 2016. According to Patel, the release of these critical documents was "continuously impeded." "I think there were people at the heads of certain intelligence agencies who did not want their tradecraft called out, even though it was during a former administration, because it doesn't look good on the agency itself," Patel says. Among the tradecraft that Patel criticizes is the hastily produced and highly consequential "Intelligence Community Assessment" of January 2017, as well as the FBI's reliance on Crowdstrike -- the DNC contractor that generated the Russian hacking allegations despite later admitting, behind closed doors, that it lacked concrete evidence. Patel also discusses other aspects of his time in the Trump White House: a secret mission to Syria; Trump's record on foreign wars; and the January 6th riot at the Capitol. Guest: Kash Patel. Former senior government official in the Trump administration, where he served as senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council, and chief of staff to the acting Secretary of Defense. Previously, Patel served as a top investigator on the GOP-led House Intelligence Committee, where he was instrumental in exposing US intelligence misconduct in the Trump-Russia investigation.

Dirty Spooks Fearing The Beard. Latest SpyGate Developments. We review Fusion Natasha Bertrand's article in today's Politico, in which Deep State operatives push CIA Director Gina Haspel to obstruct the John Durham investigation into the disgraced John Brennan. Quite the spectacle, nervous spooks begging for Haspel's disobedience, hoping to maintain the CIA as an unaccountable government unto itself. Meanwhile, we conduct an important conversation into The Art and Science of Deep State Propaganda. The mechanics of manufacturing "Clouds of Suspicion" against political opponents. Our retrospective on the multiple fraudulent "Clouds" crafted by the "Six Ways from Sunday" crowd, then deployed against Donald Trump, and then sustained in the atmosphere for as long as possible. The list includes Russian Collusion, the Steele Dossier, the Intelligence Community Assessment, the Mueller Investigation and now the extended Pelosi Impeachment. See how all this works? The brutal game of power, leverage and false narratives in today's Spook Media. The evident imperative to cover up the rampant spying criminality and corruption of the Obama Era. Fortunately, President Trump has carried on unintimidated, undaunted -- impervious to the IC shakedowns. Amazing. Plus, vignettes on Dante and Disney's Frozen 2.

Today's episode -- at long last -- brings us some good news from two rather unlikely sources:  first, from the state of Iowa (regarding abortion rights), and second, from the Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee.  You won't believe your ears! We begin, however, with a segment that's good news for everyone except Andrew:  yes, it's the ever-popular Andrew Was Wrong.  This time, Andrew owns up to a serious mistake regarding the fingerprinting regulations at the border, and an almost-as-serious mistake regarding the bustling metropolis of Olathe, Kansas. In the main segment, Andrew breaks down Planned Parenthood v. Reynolds, a recent state supreme court opinion invalidating a 3-day waiting period (with other onerous restrictions on abortion) that provides optimism and a way forward for progressives as we prepare for decades of a right-wing federal judiciary.  Find out how states can protect reproductive freedom and abortion rights separate from the U.S. Supreme Court. After that, it's time for a return trip to Yodel Mountain, where we check in on the Senate Intelligence Committee's endorsement of the joint agency report from January 2017 concluding that the Russian government deliberately interfered in the US elections with a strong preference for Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton. Finally, we end the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #83 regarding the tort of assault and an unloaded firearm.  Remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!

McCarthy (@AndrewCMcCarthy) is senior fellow at the National Review Institute, contributing editor of National Review and author most recently of essential books on the threat of Islamic supremacism including Willful Blindness: A Memoir of the Jihad, The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America and Spring Fever: The Illusion of Islamic Democracy. In Part II of my in-depth interview with Andy, we discussed Russiagate, the pervasive unethical and at times lawless behavior of law enforcement and the intelligence community with respect to Donald Trump and Russia versus Hillary Clinton and her e-mail server, the apparently limitless mandate of Robert Mueller's special counsel, obstruction of justice and much more. If you missed Part I of my conversation with Andy on his experience prosecuting the jihadist mastermind of the first World Trade Center attack and what it taught him about the Islamic supremacist threat America faces, the primacy of religion and why Islamic supremacists choose jihadist savagery over assimilation, willful blindness in American national security and foreign policy, folly in American foreign affairs from Syria to Libya, and the imperative to collapse the Khomeinist Iranian regime, be sure to catch up here.
