The president is briefed on verified intelligence, and again, I would just point you back to the absolutely irresponsible decision of the New York Times to falsely report that he was briefed on something that he, in fact, was not briefed on.

Trump tweeted overnight, Intel just spoke to me. What specifically does that mean? Who spoke to him? Did that person in fact give the president a full briefing in that conversation? So I have no further details on the president's private correspondence.

Hey everybody. Welcome to the Bukk-Rake podcast. I am your co-host, Jared Y, Sexton. I'm here with my loyal co-host, Nick Halsaman. Good news, everybody. We're back at full power this week. Very, very exciting. Less exciting is what we have to talk about. We have to start with one of the more shocking scandals of a United States presidency that we've seen maybe ever.

I don't know.

I've lost track of how to really rank these things, Nick.

So for those who are not familiar, just to get people up to speed, the New York Times released a very well thoroughly research report that said that our good friend, Vladimir Putin, our ally, Nick.

Our ally.

What a nice guy.

What a nice guy.

One of our president's best friends or the guy who holds power over him has been paying bounties on the lives of U.S. soldiers in

Afghanistan, and that Donald Trump has apparently, well, we got to get to that. He has either

known about it and not commented on it, or the president of the United States has not been

briefed on this major situation. Both are bad.

There's no good situation in any of this. But I don't know about you, Nick, but it feels,

what's the word, what's the word where you betray a country and do? That's right, treason.

Treason. Trisome. Treeson. Yes. Treason. treason you know this is it's almost like we don't have

enough time to have another impeachment process unfortunately I don't I don't think but this would

have been nice if they could have somehow foreseen that COVID was going to happen and then this was

going to happen they could have waited foreseen that COVID was going to happen and then this was going to happen,

they could have waited, put it all together and have a nice impeachment trial that would probably

have swayed somebody. I know you'd argue it wouldn't have changed anything and maybe or not,

but at the very least, there's lots of time to have Benghazi number of investigations into this, wouldn't you
