we got exclusivity of this is a few mighty exclusivity or a business from
larry king now larry king interviewed about george w_ bush
defense secretary donald rumsfeld today
and uh... donald had some interesting things to say about this whole
phoebe
perform palam
that president obama fickle
the fifteen republicans use the press people on
finding out sources let's get it what they're doing or mind let's learn
something beforehand
didn't you want them to do things like this
honestly
walk-through did you watch the aptitude
to subpoena hardcore go after yeah all your sources though i've never seen that
happen in my life
in a matter of fact
it's most unusual
and i think the attorney general holder of said that he stood up at a press
conference and said
so he never seen it before and and this ranked among the top two or three most
serious breaches of security that he'd ever seen i don't know what he was
talking about who ordered that
their mentality it ministrations that have looked for leaks to be sure but
i've never seen anything of this magnitude
and eyes
nixon tap phones
well let me kennedy and johnson and nixon back in those days they
they did some phone tapping normally when one league up f_b_i_ of someone's
going to do that however they go to paid
special court
uh... over dinner
with all of us will end up into that
and all of the last time i have no idea
he was around in the dixon administration of portion
so you're saying there's a few thing is its big deal
it's a big deal
all right there is donald rumsfeld taking the moral high ground because
meet with no longer working for an activity
it ministration i've heard a lot of roads and having a defined during that
video
you first i mean is this just this is just the low hanging fruit right you're
not working anymore so no course you can be honest about everything about how the
administration rep
yet he's never seen anything like this because i guess he was in around during
the pentagon papers schedule and they had a year-long
and god's grand jury in boston trying to find out who and in nothing ever came of
it and they would be persecuted everybody but they also i have two
people themselves maybe not on this grant of the scale with the a_p_ maybe
that's what he's referring to
but they certainly one after the person who disclose the uh...
uh... bali play with the whole are about a lot of stuff that's
and got a plane
dated panetta's administration but i mean
they were acting c_i_a_ operative yeah eleven phil donahue donahue national
guard anyone who was uh... antiwar gone during the bush years
so uh... me for rumsfeld is that they're pretend
he's never seen this before all home i got a camping administrations has signs
the press
with nine cents what nonsense
that's that and to think that
has a piece cannot is
is a very old and legitimate
uh... scandal
and it
blacksmithing really angry
and that they didn't istration for doing this piece that is a it isn't all-out
assault
on our freedom of the press
they are doing this potentially and willfully
and inlet
the real scandal of the a_p_ scandals that is actually legal
uh... that's the worst part of it on that that
our laws are such that now the government can't do this and effectively
destroyer freedom of the press right so just to be clear the department of
justice has done nothing wrong in terms of legal
terms right now right this very second the government can go into your emails
go into your face book losers wetter and all that stuff sort out the the media is
responding to this because this is about the media but maybe we're finally
getting
to some critical mass here right well this is what i've been saying it's like
so we all know that with the patriot act at
that the government is the ability to read our emails and tap our phones
without a warrant they would have to board the five the court
they can just do it in safe because of terrorism which is what this case was
about
so
and the eighties i'll set this up as they got the phone records they can read
your email
and then you guys don't care about that it's it's it's very close to that the
people who want their guns as a second i'm going to have to have our guns
the fight the government when they commit a car wreck to bury took your
rights away yeah tonight is like that because i think i'm sitting with the
a_p_ thirty took your recording reading your emails attacking upon that they
want to
and they don't have to tell you but for some reason what the government to live
in this case in this case they want the old wild
where they have to subpoena your phone records in response to give you warning
that they're doing that
and they didn't do that in a timely fashion which is an awful another
problem
but listen to the bride and with some of this investigation that's going on
in trouble
so it's it was all how began general phones
uh... records from general powell one of the eighty office
in d_c_ that's a big now
solely yeah i have some dining room talking mostly but how can this be a
scandal when the stuff that they're already allowed to do was even worse it
seems either this is purely because it's about the media right i mean the media
is gonna get upset when it's about
themselves as a right well i mean the reason why this is a scandal to major in
the uh...
me absolutely right
um... the government are ready to still on the south anyway but here they the
day went the extra route the old-fashioned way subpoena
well what that does is that they're actually intimidates
of the reporters in war army if this is seeking to stick your stuff and then
after you after the fact that if i something
that you know he's got your business is doing your job but if they hit with a
subpoena
then you're scared anything at all my god like i came to my job anymore
and as a massive chilling effect and that's intentional
okay so that is the same is this an intentional because to me it does seem
back they bore you accomplish what they wanted to accomplish the sent the
affected the system and that some people are gonna be second-guessing things
verses weather
uh... the the argument about the legality of the battle battle just
disappear pat buchanan nominee a mad at airport okay
this man
who is so
gone hong kong after
the a_p_ reporters in fact he said
this is one of the greatest threats to our our security and our liberty
what a joke
is that in charge but yes let's say it was the same idiot
of who refuses to prosecute single banker
too big to fail too big to jail you've got for bill we even try to press
charges against the banks the might destabilize our financial system
so rapidly
anything
anything to that banks
four times the aris force
when it comes to operatic manny
weakens a_p_ reporters
then we will use don't fall for sports
constraint
of our government
to coax wash u
and i would request you but the crush and with
thinks like you
and prevented from every doing anything
that might jeopardize a scan carryover government
