Now, as far as the 51 intelligence officials and former intelligence officials, we've seen Trump take action. What do you think about the fallout as it relates to them?

I mean, it's all part of the deep state web of intelligence. You know, there's like 15 intelligence agencies. They all know each other. They all collude with each other. And what we learned later was that Anthony Blinken, who became later Secretary of State, he was instrumental in organizing this effort among those 51 officials. And some of them have sort of walked it back.

Some of them have never apologized for it. Clapper, to this day, remains the most stubborn. I know that the Post has reached out to him several times, and he'll never back down from it. And I think it's just pride. And obviously, Trump revoked all their security clearances, which is good. I don't see any reason why they're not currently in government anymore. They should have that.

And especially if they're going to use their security clearances and the good names that that gives them to do partisan politics.

Yeah, I want to actually address the issue of good name in a second. First, the media fallout, the media response to the revelations over the last few years, the idea of slow walking, things that we actually knew at the time, so that maybe the impact is lessened over time. You can see this media trick playing out.

Do you feel like there's any sort of come to Jesus moments for any of these outlets in the legacy media?

Do you feel like there's any sort of come to Jesus moments for any of these outlets in the legacy media?

Really, no. And the problem is all of these people would rather light themselves on fire than admit that the New York Post was right. And they'll burn their institutions to the ground rather than admit that they were wrong and that conservative media had a point about something.

Whoa, whoa, can't say that because, you know, we're running around saying this is fake news, they're disinformation, cheap fakes. Remember cheap fakes?

Oh, yeah. Way back.

Oh, yeah. Way back.

Yeah. You can't suddenly be like, oh, actually, the Post was right, and we were the ones lying to you. I mean, come on. They can't. So what you've actually seen is, like, there's been no apology. No institution, no editor-in-chief has ever been like, look, we were wrong. The Post was right. We're sorry. Which is all really anyone has been asking for. So instead, you just see this gradual...

We're going to move away from the coverage we had. We're just going to not cover it as much. Maybe we'll like at a certain point you had these legal filings from the special prosecutor where they were like forced to cover it. But it's just when they can't discredit it, they just ignore it.
