Hello, hello, yes, sir. Hi, Al. What about the carriage reflex, where you got the figure yet? No, sir, but I think it's gonna be quite low.

0:22.0

It should be, it should be last week or better. Yeah, it should be less than 20. I would think, yeah, so it would be very, when do you get that view, would you know?

0:33.0

We don't get it officially until Monday afternoon, but we can get a reading on it. Right, well, Monday afternoon, officially, well, it's waddled in.

0:41.0

Okay, nothing else in the rest of the world. Very significant. This goddamn New York Times exposes the most highly classified documents of the war.

0:53.0

Hold that. I see. I didn't read the story, but do you mean that was leaked out of the Pentagon?

1:00.0

Sir, it was a whole study that was done for McNamara and then carried on after McNamara left by Clifford and the peacenicks over there.

1:11.0

This is a devastating security breach of the greatest magnitude of anything. Well, what's being done about it then? I mean, I didn't do it.

1:21.0

Did we know that this was coming out? No, we did not. There are just a few copies of this. What about the...

1:28.0

What about the... Let me ask you this, though. What about the... What about the Laird? What's he going to do about it?

1:36.0

Well, I just start right at the top and fire some people. I mean, whoever, whatever department it came out of, I'd fire the top guy.

1:43.0

Yes, sir. Well, I'm sure it came from defense, and I'm sure it was stolen at the time of the turnover of the administration.

1:51.0

Well, it's two years old, I'm sure it is, and they've been holding it for a juicy time, and I think they've thrown it out to affect Hatfield with government. That's my own estimate.

2:00.0

But it's something that is a mixed bag. It's a tough attack on Kennedy. It shows that the genesis of the war really occurred during 61s. That's Clifford, I see.

2:13.0

And it's brutal on President Johnson. They're going to end up in a massive gut fight in the Democratic Party on this thing.

2:20.0

Sorry, there's some very, but also massive against the war. I guess the war, but it's a Pentagon study, huh?

Hello, he's coming back. He's coming back to chief economist David Griskum. How's it going? Welcome everybody. So here's what's going on. And this week's show I, we have Bosch Carson car. We have been Burgess. We're talking about the Mydner plan.

We're talking about Finland. We're talking about the history and future of socialism. And then I believe we're going to get to Glenn Greenwald to talk about this massive expose, basically validating everything that we've been saying contemporaneously.

3:37.0

And of course, the great reporting of Brazil wire, the case against Lula was political. He's a political prisoner. The 2018 elections are illegitimate these massive shocking revelations on the true nature of the lava jato investigators, what they were really about no word on lava jato t shirts.

4:00.0

We have a bunch more to get to the gem shout out. But we've had a major tech problems here today and apparently it's a YouTube problem. So what's going on is basically we're not able to stream live.

4:19.0

And we are running totally behind. In fact, I think that what we might do is actually because if we're going to get to Glenn, we're supposed to get to Glenn in about five minutes. So what we might do because we're adaptable people is sorry.
