| 0:30.0 | The following content is explicit. |
| 0:33.0 | It's Friday, April 20th, 2018 from Slated to the Gisdai Mike Pesca. |
| 0:42.0 | I'm going to read you a headline just as Department Watchdog probes Komi memos over classified information, the former FBI director said he considered the memos which he gave to a friend who released a media personal documents. |
| 0:56.0 | One other detail. |
| 0:57.0 | The allegation here is that the memos, even if they weren't classified at the time, contained information that the government may now have concluded is classified. |
| 1:07.0 | That was Pete Williams of NBC. Did you hear that? That little detail weren't classified at the time? I played this game with myself. |
| 1:14.0 | I wanted to imagine, let's say hypothetically, I was the most partisan asshole in the world that I just couldn't see through my lens, my thick lens, my tunnel vision. |
| 1:25.0 | Let's say that. And let's say I heard what you just heard that the memos was classified after the fact. |

| 2:18.0 | Yeah, I know somewhere the people and as we're climbing going, no, we had the information today. |
| 2:23.0 | Now that all that stuff I told you about the classification, that's some new Komi developments. And it is new that there is Komi news, not that Komi's not in the news, but as long as he's been in the news, the complaint has been that he says nothing new. |
| 2:40.0 | Here is the national reviews editors round table podcast speaking is Michael Brendan Dowerty. |
| 2:46.0 | The only news he broke in his book, you know, over the past week, it seems, is that actually he was thinking of the polling when and, you know, and it reannounced the opening of the Clinton email investigation a week before the election. |
| 3:02.0 | Now, they already criticizes that, but I don't, but that was a ubiquitous complaint that Komi is not telling us anything new. |
| 3:11.0 | But man, ask you, isn't that more complaint about the complainer? Oh, I understand that our attention is valuable. Oh, I very much understand that. |
