so they think you care about the same thing they do. your first term ended with a deadly right at the capitol and you still have not publicly acknowledged the 2020 election results. why should americans put you back in the white house? because we did fantastically. we got 12 million more votes than we had as you know in 2016. i think that when you look at that result and what happened during that election, unless you are a very stupid person, you see what happened. most people understand what happened. that was a rigged election. jesse: now, right off the bat they got trump to talk about the past instead of the future. 2020 instead of 2024. they knew trump was going to take the bait and he did. now, if trump wants to talk about 2020, there is plenty to talk about. you can t get lost in the weeds and you have to move it from 2020 to 2024. for instance, we know it was unfair. but, instead of drilling down on the ballot stuffing, the president should talk about voter i.d.
the cia to shut down the hunter laptop story if joe wasn t involved? if the laptop is filled with your run-of-the-mill business documentation, so who is so controversial? why did they have to lie about it? and it wasn t just former cia guys who jiggered with the election. it was active cia guys in 2020 whose letter changed votes. and one of those cia guys, former cia director john brennan testified today behind closed doors in congress why he interfered with an american election and democrats are defending dirty cia directors. what you see from someone like director brennan is exactly what we hope for in our public servants. and this is a infringement on the first amendment that this investigation is going on. he was a private citizen when he wrote this letter. jesse: so former cia directors can now interfere in our elections? that s the new rule?
treading water, colonel? we are treading quicksand. you cannot build a successful effort on the corrupt karzai government or the duplicitous pakistani government. our soldiers and marines and airmen on the ground are doing a terrific job. they deserve better. one set of policies is going well. and that is the combination of the cia s drone strikes in pakistan and brilliant special operators doing night raids against al qaeda figures in afghanistan. but, everything else, the governance, corruption, winning over the locals, trying to expand the rule of law, frankly, none of it is going well. bill: before we go, when you mentioned the drone strikes and the special-ops, is that a winning strategy? well, it is a helping strategy. because, we are going after, when you go after cia guys, in
glenn: how insulting is it to give a military guy a medal this is the president s idea. give a medal for not restraint. you re right. the glaring example was the c.i.a. after 9/11 when they said do whatever it takes. we want their head on a platter. glenn: nancy pelosi did. they were all briefed. they knew what was going on and they went and did it. then they come home and i told you in the last book tour, one of my contacts, i said what is your biggest fear? i expect him to say a nuke in manhattan or something. he said the biggest fear is i ll come back and land in the states and see the feds wait for me to arrest me for doing what my country asked me to do. we no longer have the stomach anymore in washington. most people listen to the show and they get it. we don t want to hear the detail of what goes on.
themselves. now they have dug themselves a hole, it won t work. they ask why do the books work? the heros are men and women in the military, c.i.a., stuff like that, villains are terrorists and politicians. glenn: i think it goes further than that. honestly, if ayn were here i d say like tom clancy. i don t need to know exactly how the system works, there is a lot in here. but what happens in this is what is missing in society. common sense. common sense. back in a second.
