So what the CIA was originally like conceived of, like essentially being a newspaper for the president, like being like, hey, we get all the real intelligence and we give it to you here.

Yes, I 100% think there's room for intelligence gathering, but what the CIA became

is a paramilitary organization that starts wars and overthrows democratically elected governments all around the world.

And occasionally, when they're bored, and maybe on a Tuesday, like a three-day weekend, and then on Tuesday, maybe move some crack into Los Angeles.

No, that, I mean, just should... I mean, it's a disgrace to a professed free society.

I mean, it's... Look, like, when... Which we've also played on the show before, but...

When Chuck Schumer was on with Rachel Maddow, which is one of the most amazing moments in the history of corporate media, because what's amazing about it, if you watch the full thing, is that Rachel Maddow's asking him questions, and he's given his Chuck Schumer...

political answers to all of them, however you feel about them.

It's like they have their spiel.

But then she breaks from script and she preemptively apologizes to him.

She goes, hey, I'm sorry to just throw this on you right now.

This is, it was in, I believe, January.

It was either December of 16 or January 17.

So Donald Trump has beat Hillary Clinton, but he's not president yet.

He's president-elect.

And so she goes, sorry to throw you off, put you on the spot, but Donald Trump just tweeted this.

So she's reading a tweet that he just tweeted live on air to the Senate majority leader or minority leader at the time.

So she reads of the tweet that's him trashing the CIA or something like that.

And then Chuck Schumer just gives his organic response.

There was no script prepared for this.
