But even in 2011,

They kept secrets seven pages.

And I was the first reporter to obtain those seven pages.

And I published them in this New York Times article.

They are about a scandal from the first Nixon term that got sort of pushed aside by Watergate, but which is hugely important and which validates claims by President Trump and his supporters today that there exists a deep state.

What we found was that the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the nation's top uniformed military commanders, spied actively, mounted an actual spy ring

against President Nixon and his White House National Security Advisor at the time, Henry Kissinger, wherein a Navy yeoman, a young guy, now 82 years old, refused to participate in my reporting, named Yeoman Radford, Charles Radford, who was assigned as a kind of courier and typist and body man to Henry Kissinger.

literally stole from Kissinger's briefcase, burn baskets, waste baskets, anywhere, copy machines, wherever he got his hands on, 5,000 classified documents, stole them from the National Security Council and delivered them to the Joint Chiefs of Staff over 13 months, 1970 to 71, in wartime.

And I was also the first reporter to get the Nixon tapes out, the first pair of ears outside the government to hear the tapes of when Nixon was informed of this for the first time.

He wanted to prosecute the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Thomas Moore, for espionage.

And his attorney general, John Mitchell, convinced him not to do that.

So...

This really showed the deep state in operation against President Nixon back in the 70s.

And to his credit, he decided not to expose all this, even though it might have helped him politically, because he did not want to add to the vilification of the armed forces that was already widely prevalent in the 1970s.

I will tell you, Dr. Drew, that we've received inquiries from Hollywood about it.

My agent at Javelin and this newsletter out there in Hollywood called The Optionist, which alerts producers to hot literary properties, wrote up the article in The New York Times, and they recommended that Timothee Chalamet should play Yeoman Radford.

There is a strong physical resemblance, and I'm willing to settle for any old kind of cameo in the thing.

Yes, at JamesRosenTV on my XV, right after we finish.

You're very kind to have me.

Thank you, Doug.
