All of this coming as the acting dni official testified and faced a whole range of questions before the house today. The president also adding to the fire tonight, making chilling comments. This was in private but now obtained by the l. A. Times about the whistleblower and the officials who talked to the whistleblower. Who is the person who gave whistleblower the information .

People dont know i have a stand up base that i play and move over to play the cello. Whatever it takes to drama ties the moment, i the moment, im here. Yesterday was a fascinating day as well. These days seem to drag on and on with news. But yesterday, of course, while we were still on the air the whistleblower report came out and there were hearings, a lot of recriminations going back and forth. Interesting enough, i dont know if you know this enough, i was justry mind just reminded i was in congress once, we went for impeachment and everybody ran to their corners. I didnt quite see that happening yesterday. No. You saw it from reliable sources, people in the media, couple senators. But you see republicans either keeping their powder dry or saying yeah, this is important. You had the acting dni that the complaint is unprecedented. He believes, the dni
Democratic strategy. I think we have to stay focused as far as the public is concerned on the fact that the president of the United States who used taxpayer dollars to shake down the leader of another country for his own political gain. Americans still trying to absorb the gravity of what happened in the last few days. And new revelations including a series of poles that suggest public support moving against the president. It was just tuesday that Speaker Pelosi announced that formal inquiry. Wednesday we got the white house account with the leader of you crane, and yesterday we got the whistleblower complaint that he used the power of his office to stop the reporter. They are talking about how this impeachment inquiry will play out. They worry the president could become even more erratic.

I think we have witnessed the end of the caliphate. This town and the final emotion campment is thought to be empty with a few isis fighters found last night. The job is in a clearing stage. U. S.

Penguin random house audio who just full disclosure just did my audiobook for my book that comes out next week, which is why i know these guys, they today somewhat miraculously pulled off a completely professional audio production of the whistleblower complaint.
