DC APPEARED TO HAVE SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THIS WEEK,
WITH MULTIPLE TV BROADCASTS AND THE ENTIRE LIGHTING SYSTEMS IN
ROOMS FREEZING UP OR CUTTING OUT IN SOMEWHAT BIZARRE FASHIONS.
WE
WILL SHOW YOU A FEW OF THESE.
THE FIRST IS GOING TO BE DURING
THE POMPEO CONFIRMATION HEARINGS.
FINALLY, CHAIRMAN BURR AND I HAVE COMMITTED TO CONDUCT A
REVIEW OF THE INTELLIGENCE SUPPORTING THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEE'S ASSESSMENT THAT RUSSIA, AT THE DIRECTION --
OK, THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT ODD.
THAT ONE I BELIEVE WAS 10
MINUTES.
THIS IS GOING TO BE C-SPAN LIVE COVERAGE OF THE HEARINGS
THAT WERE GOING ON YESTERDAY.
AT THIS TIME, WITH A BILL THAT WOULD BASICALLY TAKE OUR COP ON
THE BLOCK, THE SEC, AND LITERALLY OBLITERATE IT --
SOME NEWS THAT JUST COME IN, SIX PEOPLE HAVE DIED --
AT LEAST THERE WAS SOME TALK ABOUT A SUICIDE BOMBING
SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD.
I HAVE TO ASSUME FROM WATCHING THAT
THAT IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS WHO WAS BEHIND THIS.
YOU SAW THE VIDEO
-- SAN ESCOBAR GOT TONS OF FREE ADVERTISING.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT IT IS BUT I WANT TO GO THERE NOW.
THE GOOD PEOPLE OF SAN ESCOBAR KNEW HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE
WATCHING MAXINE WATERS.
WAIT UNTIL MAXINE WATERS IS ON C-SPAN, THEN HIT THEM WITH THE
SAN ESCOBAR AD.
WE HAVE ONE MORE, THIS ONE IS THE MOST OMINOUS.
MAXINE WATERS IS SO CORRUPT, THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE HER
HUSBAND WAS THE AMBASSADOR TO SAN ESCOBAR.
HERE IS THE THIRD WEIRD EVENT THAT HAPPENED.
I THINK THIS WHOLE FLAP, WHATEVER THE RUSSIANS MIGHT HAVE
INTENDED WITH THEIR HACKING, HAS MADE IT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO
GET TO WHERE THEY WANT.
THERE IS NOW A BIG IMPEDIMENT -- WHEN YOU
HEAR GENERAL MATTIS TODAY, MIKE POMPEO, ALMOST SWEARING THEY
WILL BE HARDLINERS ON RUSSIA -- ["ON RUSSIA" REPEATING OVER AND
OVER]
HE HANDLED THAT PROBE INTO HILLARY CLINTON'S EMAILS,
THIS IS HOT STUFF.
THAT WAS A ROBOT, THAT WAS JUST LIVE FEED.
WE HAVE ENTERED WESTWORLD.
THAT WAS OMINOUS.
WITH THE POMPEO HEARINGS, THE C-SPAN FEED CUT OUT BECAUSE IN
THE CHAMBER AND THE HEARING ITSELF, POWER WAS CUT.
IT
ACTUALLY WENT DARK AND THEY HAD TO FIND A WAY TO GET EVERYTHING
GOING AGAIN.
THAT IS -- IT COULD BE FROM TV BROADCASTS TO
ACTUALLY IN THE HOUSE INTERRUPTIONS THAT CONTINUE
TO HAPPEN.
C-SPAN RESPONDED TO THEIR ISSUE IN THIS STATEMENT HERE --
THE IDEA BEING THAT THEY ARE TRACKING MULTIPLE CHANNELS
SIMULTANEOUSLY, ONE OF THOSE IS THE LIVE FEED, SO
THEORETICALLY YOU COULD GO TO ONE OF THE OTHER FEEDS.
COULD YOU PUT THAT TWEET BACK UP FROM C-SPAN?
WHAT THEY LEFT
OUT IS THAT THAT ACTUALLY WAS ADDRESSED TO THE ONE PERSON WHO
COMPLAINED.
IT ACTUALLY BEGINS, LARRY, THIS AFTERNOON THE ONLINE
FEED FOR C-SPAN --
I'M GLAD THEY'VE STOPPED SAYING MICHAEL.
QUICKLY, C-SPAN
STANDS FOR --
OH, UM -- THAT WAS INTERVIEW ONE TIME TOO.
CONGRESSIONAL --
FUCK.
SATELLITE --
CABLE SATELLITE --
SO FAR HE IS WINNING.
CABLE SATELLITE PUBLIC ACCESS NETWORK.
AFFAIRS!
THAT WAS SO CLOSE.
THE THING THAT LINKS ALL OF THOSE IS THAT THEY WERE
OBVIOUSLY IN SOME WAY RELATED TO THE INTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATION
AND HACKING AND ALL THAT.
I MEAN, THE IDEA THAT RUSSIA WAS
BEHIND IT SEEMS SO PETTY AND RIDICULOUS.
RUSSIA IS NOT BEHIND IT, THERE WERE 10 BILLION MENTIONS OF
RUSSIA ON AMERICAN NEWS TODAY, THEY DIDN'T GET INTERRUPTED.
I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT IS WHAT IT IS.
THE COUNTRY IS FILLED WITH MORONS, THEY ALL HAVE THEIR OWN
SHOW, ALONE A TWITTER ACCOUNT.
SLIGHTLY LESS THAN HALF OF THEM VOTED FOR DROP.
OBVIOUSLY
PUTIN IS JUST ON HIS COMPUTER, THIS IS GOING TO BE HILARIOUS.
IT'S THE MOST RANDOM PROGRAMMING.
RUSSIA HAS THIS SOPHISTICATED HACKING NETWORK, THEY'VE DONE
THIS IN MANY ELECTIONS, BUT ALSO THE THING THEY WOULD GET WRONG
IS, WHICH PROGRAM SHOULD BE INTERRUPT?
THEY ARE LIKE, MSNBC
AND C-SPAN.
ALL-AMERICANS ARE WATCHING.
THEY WOULD HAVE DONE IT THE NIGHT BEFORE TO PRESIDENT
OBAMA, I THINK.
THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND A WAY INTO THE GOODBYE SPEECH IF THEY
WERE GOING TO DO THIS.
IT'S WEIRD AND I'LL BE ASLEEP WHEN THE GUY KEEPS REPEATING
RUSSIA OVER AND OVER, THAT'S THE SCARIEST THING I'VE SEEN IN MY
LIFE.
IT COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF AN AWESOME EDM MUSIC VIDEO,
BUT PROBABLY NOT EVIDENCE OF SOME SORT OF INTERNATIONAL
HACKING ATTEMPT.
EDM STANDS FOR --
ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC.
