that haven t been adequately developed for risk of mistakes. let s talk about money. in particular let s talk about dark money. are you familiar with that term? in the loosest sense. how would you describe it in the loosest sense to make sure you and i are on the same wave length. money not spent by a candidate or party and where you actually don t know who the true source of the money is. okay. is that a fair enough definition for us to agree on? sure. okay. could you let us know first what you know about the campaign that is being run to support your confirmation? there s been a lot of talk how this is outside of politics an
backing. mr. president, please, we don t need that much backing. the military gave us tremendous percentages of votes. we were unbelievably successful in the election with getting the vote of the military and probably almost everybody in this room voted for me, but i will not ask you to raise your hands if you didn t. but i would guarantee a big portion, because we are all on the same wave length, folks. we are all on the same waive length. as you know, i have a running war with the media. they are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. right? and they sort of made it sound like i had a feud with the intelligence community and i just want to let you you know, the reason your number one stop is exactly the opposite. exactly. and they understand that too. so it s interesting about this is that the placement and
this speech in front of that hallowed wall talking about crowd size at his inauguration and instead of talking about the hard work that these people do. so he went there on a mission, but he didn t spend most of his time talking about the intelligence community. he said, yeah, we are all going to work off the same page. we re on the same wave length. why are you dismissing that though? he spent most of his time talking about other things. look, look. his leadership style as an executive is to work with people to be a leader but also to set a fire under them. now, i think i think he did. not the kind. i think you will see not only today, but you will see a lot as he deals with bureaucracies. you will see more of this kind of thing. what he is trying to do its inspire them, ignite them, get them. talking about crowd size at the cia have to do with
