it s nice to see you after a long time of not seeing you. it s wonderful to see you as well. thank you, chris. i appreciate it, my friend. and thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. we re really happy to have you here. do you want to see a cute picture? cuteness is in the eye of the beholder, of course. and this is a picture of a guy, and i m not saying the guy in the picture is himself cute. honestly, what would i know? not my area of expertise. but i think just as a picture, regardless of the guy, i think i think as a picture, this is kind of cute. just in terms of composition. in part because it s got kind of a swirl effect. like on the upper left side of the image, we ve got his eye that s looking kind of winky, kind of headed downstream. but then on the lower right side of the image he has the big smirk heading straight up toward his ear. so the whole thing is kind of a swirl, you know? just as a picture, as a mug shot in particular, i think that s not bad
the picture is himself cute. honestly, what would i know?ur not my area of expertise. but i think just as a picture, regardless of the guy, i think i think as a picture, this is kind of cute. just in terms of composition. in part because it s got kind of a swirl effect. like on the upper left side of the image, we ve got his eye that s looking kind of winky, kind of headed downstream. but then on the lower right side of the image he has the big smirk heading straight up towara his ear. so the whole thing is kind of a swirl, you know? just as a picture, as a mug shot in particular, i think that s not bad. that person is the attorney general of the great state of texas, and that is in fact his mug shot. his name is ken. he was indicted and booked into the collin county jail in texas on felony securities fraud charges a few years ago. those felony charges are still pending against him.lo he is still under indictment on multiple felony counts, but it hasn t held him back. since
Secretary of the united states until that ended as prison 210-707. it happens, so much so we have a thing in mind when we think what an elected official s mug shot looks like. i mean, there are ones that are more special than others. the congressman james traficant mug shot will always be remembered more as kind of a hairdo hall of fame thing than a congressman thing. wow. it s still really something all these years later. but apart from him, there is something familiar enough about seeing members of congress and governors and senators mug shots that we recognize them as a look, right? it s a thing. we ve seen a lot of these. and none of these mug shots, none of these arrests, arraignments, fingerprinting of these public officials caused the world to end. the arrest of these governors and senators and congressmen

Thing. bret: let me play the sound bite from doug collins and lindsey graham about the whistle-blower. as we go forward, is not going to be the standard changed in the intelligence community for anybody can take any report that they want to over the water cooler and decide to file a complaint? this is more serious than this. why did they not change the rules about it whistle-blower? just weeks before the complaint, so i think this thing stinks. bret: the national complaint says that they have firsthand knowledge and hearsay, secondhand knowledge. the congressman thing that anybody can file a whistle-blower complaint, it has to go to the ig who then talks to people firsthand, the whistle-blower got stuff secondhand, but the ig determining whether this is credible and urgent went out and talk to people firsthand. people who told the whistle-blower this story. that s the first thing. the second thing about the form being changed, there is another story that the form has been in
