Because the first half of the book is largely... a story that I think people in this audience know, which is the story covered by the Mueller report and covered by the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation.
Ben WittesHOST
9:39
And you do in the book an incredible job of reminding people how much of the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation in fact got buried, um, and was sort of forgotten about relatively quickly, particularly the degree to which, um, uh, um, uh, You know, Kalimnick was really operating in hand and glove with Paul Manafort.
Ben WittesHOST
10:14
And there's a whole lot of stuff in there that I think people will find it very useful to be reminded of and just how horrifying it was.
Ben WittesHOST
10:26

Robert BarnesGUEST
16:13
He just saw an opportunity when he went out on his own.
Robert BarnesGUEST
16:15
to cash in on all the sovereign district of New York's investigations of Trump connected people, including Manafort and others.
Robert BarnesGUEST
16:22
And then he saw an opportunity to parlay that into political capital.
Robert BarnesGUEST

So that's just my first.
Robert McNeelyHOST
9:32
inclination as to why they would go this route also they're extraordinarily unpopular but to your point jenny beth i can remember being at turning point usa before there was the 501 c4 we know as turning point action now because turning point usa a 501 c3 when our dear friend the late charlie kirk would go up on stage he'd say this is charlie kirk speaking not turning point usa we dot the i's we cross the t's we followed the letter of the law and paul manafort went to jail over over all of this.
Robert McNeelyHOST
10:03
And that's outrageous in and of itself.
Robert McNeelyHOST
10:05
Then on top of that, Roger Stone to, of course, Dr. Navarro and Steve Bannon, all forgiving their free speech and their involvement in the political process.
Brad ParscaleGUEST
4:47
And I'd done most of that by solving problems.
Brad ParscaleGUEST
4:51
And I eventually solved all problems until when Paul Manafort's fired, which has now come out in Eric Trump's book, so I can say this now, I never really said it publicly.
Brad ParscaleGUEST
5:01
I was secretly the campaign manager of the 2016 campaign, even though I have the title of digital director.
Brad ParscaleGUEST
5:06
Eric, you read Eric's book, it calls, says that, says, you know, Brad was the campaign manager.

Brad ParscaleGUEST

I think the law is a little outdated anyways.
Brad ParscaleGUEST
34:10
It was really designed, you know, like 120 years ago.
Brad ParscaleGUEST
34:13
No one actually enforced it until the 2016 election with Paul Manafort, you know, so they could stop Donald Trump.
Brad ParscaleGUEST
34:19
And it became a political weapon of the DOJ.
David CornGUEST
7:26
And it said Trump minimized the Russian assault, in essence, helping Russia as it was doing this.
David CornGUEST
7:33
It also noted that his campaign chairman at the time, Paul Manafort, throughout the campaign was dealing and interacting with a Russian intelligence officer.
David CornGUEST
7:44
So I don't know if that's collusion or not, but it was very serious.
David CornGUEST
7:47
And that report put out by the Senate Intelligence Committee, let me do a little game with you here, Al.
David CornGUEST
9:36
And they wanted to know, is there anything here that the public should know? And Christopher Steele started sending them reports, memos that...

When compiled, were called the Steele dossier, and it was really a collection of gossip, speculation, half-truths, leads, and unproven allegations.
David CornGUEST
10:00
You know, we've talked to someone who heard that Paul Manafort might be working with the Russians in some way or another.
David CornGUEST
10:06
Manafort was Trump's campaign chair.
Zev ShalevHOST
44:16
And look, it's also right on brand with what the Russians do with all the leaders that they install in these countries.
Zev ShalevHOST
44:21
Remember, the former Ukrainian president was also, you know, the one who was working for Putin and stealing money from the Ukrainians, one that Paul Manafort worked for, name escapes me, it'll come to you in a second.
Zev ShalevHOST
44:34
He also, you know, now lives in Russia.

I mean, going back to Donald Trump Jr., Donald Trump Jr. was the one who said, I love the idea of getting information from the Russians during the 2016 campaign.
Jim AcostaHOST
12:10
Remember, it was a Russian attorney speaking on behalf of the Kremlin who met with Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner at Trump Tower in 2016.
