But that's why I think I've been arguing for a special prosecutor for this entire kind of deep state, or at least the conspiracy against Trump in the first term and rolling up to the second term of Clapper and Brennan and all these guys.

So I think either do it that way or internally, if you can do it, but hire more U.S.

attorneys.

cut the fbi down by at least a third immediately uh even if you have to give some things you're working on because i think right now the people saying hey look it's great with with the crime thing you did today uh cash i feel better but you know what president trump's committed to put troops into the cities and he should if we have to shut this crime down so let's just start taking the fbi apart i don't think any one person's to blame i think it is that there's so much going on

They're so overwhelmed on other topics.

We just need to kind of triage this and say, okay, guys, let's think about the end game here.

Let's go three years down range.

Where do we want to be on these institutions and kind of work back to the day?

Certainly.

No doubt.

Because these are not courageous people.

They would rather be supplicants and have approval in the architecture of approval.

They would rather go to the side that's going to pat on the head.

Here's what I tell people.

I gave this talk at Semaphores.

They're a little Davos.

They do in the spring.

when Ben Smith invited me to talk at kind of one of the guys that wrapped it up.

And I said, look, you may not like the populist policies I put for economics.
