12 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,460 There are a lot of wackos in there. 13 00:00:48,460 --> 00:00:56,100 But it obscures, that fact obscures the larger fact, which is the facts themselves tell an unbelievable story. 14 00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:01,340 And so, whatever, I could get into it at great length. 15 00:01:01,540 --> 00:01:04,840 But yeah, yeah, they're still classifying documents. 16 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:13,540 61 years later, both Trump and Joe Biden have, in violation of my read of federal law, kept those documents secret. 17 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,920 There's no living person connected to the Kennedy assassination. 18 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,540 It was a couple generations ago. 19 00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:23,480 There's no one person whose secrets are being protected. 20 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,660 It's an institution or maybe countries. 21 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:27,980 There may have been countries involved, too. 22 00:01:28,820 --> 00:01:33,080 I mean, I don't know the answer, but there's clearly something worth protecting. 23 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:43,780 And I know that when I spoke to someone who'd seen the documents, okay, two years ago, and I got one fact out of them, which is, yes, the CIA was involved. 24 00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:45,800 And by CIA, CIA is a huge organization. 25 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:53,920 But James Jesus Angleton, the head of the operations directorate, had knowledge of this, which I think is well known. 26 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,940 But that's the view of someone who saw the documents. 27 00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:57,140 So I thought that was news. 28 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,460 So I went on TV and said that. 29 00:01:58,460 --> 00:02:03,240 But the next day, I'll never forget it, I went quail hunting. 30 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:09,620 And I was driving back, and I got a phone call from Mike Pompeo's lawyer. 31 00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:13,820 Mike Pompeo was the secretary of state, but before then, he was the director of the CIA. 32 00:02:14,580 --> 00:02:18,300 And in that position, he plotted the murder of Julian Assange. 33 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,340 So he is a criminal as far as I'm concerned. 34 00:02:20,340 --> 00:02:29,780 But his lawyer called me and said, you know, you should know that anyone who tells you the contents of classified documents has committed a crime. 35 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,900 He's threatening me. 36 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:33,700 It was in my car. 37 00:02:33,980 --> 00:02:35,940 I'll never, with my dog sitting next to you, I'll never forget this. 38 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:45,960 And I said, are you really saying that to reveal that the U.S. government had a role in the murder of a democratically elected president, to say that out loud, that's the crime?
