  Speaker 1: Good day, ladies and gentlemen. This is your old friend
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Gil Galory, tipping my hat to you from the edge
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of a story that's got Washington buzzing like a beehive
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: in springtime. It's a tale of clearances lost, rivalries rekindled,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and a memo that landed like a brick through a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: stained glass window. So settle in now and let me
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: take you down the winding road of power, payback, and
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: a president with a pen. It was the evening of Friday,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: March twenty first, twenty twenty five, a night when most
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: folks were winding down for the week end. But not
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. Oh No, that's when the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: White House let loose a thunderbolt, a memo signed by
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: President Donald J. Trump himself that shook the marble pillars
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: of this old town. Fifteen names typed out, crisp and clear,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: stripped of something they'd carried like a badge of honor,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: their security clearances, access to the nation's deepest secrets, classified briefings,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: intelligence reports, the stuff of spies and statesmen, gone vanished
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: in the blink of an eye. Now, who were these
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: fifteen souls caught in the spotlight. Well, it's a roster
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: that reads like a who's who of Trump's political scrap book.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Former President Joe Biden, the man who'd once sat in
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the Oval office peering over those famous aviators. Former Vice
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: President Kamala Harris with her courtroom cadence and campaign trail tenacity.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: In Hillary Rodham Clinton, Yes, the former Secretary of State,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen rival whose lock her up chants still
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: echo in rally halls. But wait, there's more. Liz Cheney,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the Wyoming congresswoman who traded party loyalty for a gavel
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: on the January sixth Committee. Adam Kinsinger, the Illinois flyboy
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: turned critic who stood shoulder to shoulder with her Anthony Blinken,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Biden's top diplomat, Letitia James, New York's Attorney general who
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: dragged Trump's business into the court room. Alvin Bragged, the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Manhattan da who made history with a hush money indictment.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Even the Biden family hunter Jill got swept up in
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the purge. And rounding out the list, folks like Mark Zaid,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Fiona Hill, and a handful of others who'd cross paths
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: or swords with the forty fifth turned forty seventh president.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: The memo didn't mince words. I have determined it read
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that it is no longer in the national interest for
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the following individuals to access classified information. No ifs, ANNs
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: or butts. No more secure phone calls, no more escorted
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: visits to the situation room. Their keys to the kingdom revoked.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Handed back to Uncle Sam with a polite but firm
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: thank you and good night. But why you ask, what's
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the thread that ties this tale together? Well, pull up
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a chair, because this isn't a story that starts in
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, No, sir, It's a saga that stretches
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: back back to twenty twenty one, when Joe Biden, freshly
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: sworn in, yanked Trump's own clearance, breaking a decade's old
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: tradition former presidents. You see, they've long been granted that perk,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a courtesy, a nod to their years of service, a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: way to keep them in the know for the good
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: of the nation. Trump called it petty then, and now
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: now he's turned the tables and then some. This wasn't
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: just a tit for tat with Biden. This was a sweep,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a reckoning, a clearing of the decks. Fifteen names each
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: won a chapter in Trump's book of battles. Ridicks who
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: jabbed him, investigators who'd hounded him, lawmakers who judged him.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Take Liz Cheney and Adam Kinsinger. They'd spearheaded the January
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: sixth Committee, dug into that dark day when the capital trembled,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: pointing fingers. Trump didn't care for Letitia James, she'd sued
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: his company, called it a house of cards. Alvin Bragg,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: he'd put Trump in a court room over payments to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a certain adult film star, history's first indictment of a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: former president. And Hillary Well, she'd been the spark that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: lit the fuse back in sixteen. A rivalry so fierce
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it's practically folklore. These weren't random picks, they were personal.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: The fallout Well, it was a mixed bag, like a
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: fruitcake at Christmas. Some took it in stride. Mark Zeid,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: a lawyer on the list, laughed it off. On X,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: said it was his third time losing a clearance, called
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: it a badge of honor. Adam Kinsinger, now a private citizen,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: posted a video with a shrug. Said he'd left the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Air Force Reserve a year ago hadn't used his clearance
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: since much ado about nothing. He grinned, but others they
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: weren't smiling. Critics cried fowl, called it a hit list,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: a sign of a Washington so fractured it might never
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: mend retribution, They muttered, a growing rift. Even Trump's own
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: camp stayed quiet. No victory laps, just a memo in silence.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And here's the twist, folks, the little detail that ties
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it all up with a bow. Back in February, Trump
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: had already pulled Biden's clearance, his first jab in this
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: shadow boxing match. But this time he didn't stop at one.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: He went for the whole gallery, former presidents, vice presidents, lawmakers, lawyers,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: even family tradition out the window courtesy a memory. So
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: what's it all add up to? A power play in
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a pinstripe suit, a warning to foes passed and present,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: or just a man with a long memory and a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: short fuse. The corridors of power are humming today, as aids,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: whisper and pundits pontificate. Fifteen names, once privy to the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: nation's secrets now on the outside looking in, and the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: rest of us we sit by the television, watching the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: clock waiting for the next page to turn, and that,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: my friends, is the moment of truth. This is gil.
