Jake BrennanHOST
And then something remarkable happened.
Jake BrennanHOST
So what exactly was in that WikiLeaks dump of DNC emails, besides proof that the Democratic Party attempted to subvert the campaign of one of its candidates, Bernie Sanders, and coronate the party's chosen candidate, Hillary Clinton? There were numerous emails between Tom DeLonge and John Podesta, official counselor to the President of the United States, Barack Obama, and the presidential campaign manager at the time to the former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and one-time deputy chief of staff to President Bill Clinton.
Jake BrennanHOST
The emails detailed Tom's disclosure plan with Podesta, who became a public advocate for UFO disclosure upon leaving the White House, and the emails also detailed an in-person meeting between Tom and Podesta and other high-level government and military operatives.
Jake BrennanHOST
All of a sudden, the dick joke-cracking, UFO-chasing guitar player from Blink-182 didn't look so crazy, and Tom doubled down.
Azmat KhanGUEST
And, and I'm speaking specifically about weapon sales.
Juan GonzalezHOST
And, uh, uh, Asma, I'm wondering if you could talk about, you know, the, the shifting legal landscape after 9/11, uh, the secrecy, the expanded surveillance and persecution under the Espionage Act and beyond, how that affected the ability of journalists, especially in the, in the mainstream of commercial media, to properly report on wars and federal policies, and what the impact has been of independent, uh, media and whistleblowers going to organizations like WikiLeaks, uh, to bring out stuff that was not previously being, uh, uh, had not previously been revealed.
Azmat KhanGUEST
revealed.If you go back to that climate after 9/11, Americans were shocked and devastated and heartbroken, and journalists were asking, "How did this happen? What, what intelligence did we miss? How did the US government fail?" And their efforts were largely concentrated on answering these very important and fundamental questions.
Azmat KhanGUEST
But we also saw newsrooms institute shifts, so they started making beats for covering national security.
Roe McDermottGUEST
But I think Gibney has always been so interesting.
Roe McDermottGUEST
He's made documentaries about Enron, about Scientology, about Elizabeth Holmes, about WikiLeaks, about American torture.
Roe McDermottGUEST
Like, his recurring subject is power.
Roe McDermottGUEST
And I think, again, the, the documentary is so about, how did this man, who was unelected, gain so much power when nobody, nobody voted to have him in politics, in war, in designing war weapons, in space, in technology? Like, how did one, not even charismatic person accumulate so much influence across cars, rockets, satellites, communications infrastructure, social media, politics? Why does he have this influence? And I think that's a really important question that, again, applies to the AI.

Ryan DawsonHOST
Later, the CIA tried to deny that they knew that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was also at this meeting.
Ryan DawsonHOST
The cables shared from Pratt Manning to WikiLeaks proved otherwise.
Ryan DawsonHOST
Flight 77 hijackers Nawif al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Midhar entered the U.S. using their real names, but the CIA did not alert the FBI.
Ryan DawsonHOST
Once in California, the hijackers were assisted by a man named Omar Bayoumi.

Tom Marsh-ConnorsHOST
Let's have some serious talk here.
Tom Marsh-ConnorsHOST
I mean, if it wasn't for the 9-11, the Patriot Act would have never been enacted, and in turn of that, we would have never found out that the U.S. government is actually spying on people, and Edward Snowden told us all about that, and so did Julian Assange during the WikiLeaks scandal and during the Edward Snowden scandals when he escaped from U.S. custody.
AraHOST
Ara's voice turned sharp and conspiratorial.
AraHOST
You're half right, and that's the dangerous part.
Francis HuntGUEST
they are going to be moving and pumping something else.
Francis HuntGUEST
So they carry their hundreds of billions or quadrillions or trillions of net worth as a network of people, families, legacy lines, corporations, spline trusts, you name it, all those assets, they are going to be transferred from the TradFi world into a more digitized version they might have incredible privacy but you'll never even get to know the name of that token or how it's going to be run or managed it's something you won't even know about okay just like you know it's only we only found out about Tor in the last couple of decades after WikiLeaks and things like that and that's because they now can backdoor tour and they have a new thing for them.
Francis HuntGUEST
So you're not on the new tech, you're not on the super privacy, but they probably will have for themselves.
Francis HuntGUEST
So that's how the system operates.
Harry PriceHOST
That's how Chelsea Manning got caught.
Harry PriceHOST
It wasn't because WikiLeaks slipped the information.
Harry PriceHOST
She was bragging.
Chris SpangleHOST
She was
