with the big game now on the books in the new england patriots going back to the old drawing board to figure out what went wrong and develop new ways to lie cheat and steal their fellow schemers here in washington d.c. have also had themselves quite the busy weekend since the trumpet ministration unleashed the controversial and much talked about five that memo on friday written at the behest of the house intelligence committee chair republican devon nunez the memo claims the f.b.i. and the justice department abused their surveillance authority on trump's twenty sixteen presidential campaign you see apparently they used the illustrious and controversial steel dossier to secure a surveillance warrant from the five the court against the trump campaign's carter page but actively chose not to disclose to the by the court that the dossier was paid for by democrats and republicans as opposites in opposition research against donald trump and had not been legitimately verified or corroborated. since the
7:51 pm
unredacted memo drop we've seen an incredible amount of teeth gnashing and sanctimonious hypocrisy by both members of the major political parties here in the states as well as current and former surveillance state icons all declaring that the memo and its release are an outright attack on our sacred law enforcement institutions namely the in jellicoe folks over at the federal bureau of investigation from john mccain tweeting that the latest attacks on the f.b.i. and the department of justice serve no american interest no parties no president only putin's to former f.b.i. director james comey standing up for his former colleagues declaring all sort of appreciate the f.b.i. speaking up i wish more of our leaders would but take heart american history shows that in the long run weasels and liars never hold the field so long as good people stand up not a lot of schools are streets named for joe mccarthy. you're right james weasels and
7:52 pm
liars never hold the field they just get f.b.i. headquarters named after them. so what the fire is a memo out doing justin timberlake for the biggest bomb of the weekend let's let the eagle soar star watching the hawks. because. it looks like. it would be the last to get to the bottom so if you. like you know that i got. because. he. sleeps exactly. welcome everyone to watch the tyrrell ventura joining me today the great city of texas is the former youth board strategy youth vote strategist and spokesperson for the twenty sixteen from campaign author and
7:53 pm
dentist one salad lost to the third sal always a pleasure having you on great to be here so many have to i'm sure poring over the memo and all the chatter surrounding it as a as a as a young trump supporter what did you what did you take away from it what jumped out at you the most. well i mean it's everything we knew if you've been following this story like many big supporters and for a couple of the campaign have you expected this to come out we knew there were abuses especially with the characters involved like mccabe rosenstein and others so it wasn't a surprise to me. i am glad it finally came out i'm glad that they put gabby at the front of it because i think he holds a lot of respect on both sides of the aisle when it comes to him really giving everything in equal opportunity under the law so i'm glad he's out there and talking about it and i think we have a long way to go on this like penn said and others there's a lot more memos to come out and this is only the tip of the iceberg most
7:54 pm
definitely most double you know it's interesting keeping with our wonderful football metaphors the hypocrisy of football was being thrown all over washington this week in the wake of the release what's what's stuck out to you was the most egregious example i mean for me it was going to be democrats defending the f.b.i. as an institution that you know during the bush years they shredded i think justifiably for agents consistence kind of bending and abuse of our constitution the bill of rights that jumped out to me what else jumped out to you is the the wonderful hypocrisy football was thrown around. well i think it was keeping the truth from the american people i mean you look at what schiff and other democrats have done they first tried to fear tactic that this was going to release you know valuable information to our enemies and counterintelligence tactics which it did not it's not reveal any source is there anything and then now they're going into destroying people's careers like nunez and others who wanted this to be public so the so that's what has struck me the most is just their ability to. try to deceive
7:55 pm
the american people and be go after honorable people's careers are just trying to follow the trail on all this corruption and that is and it's an interesting dynamic and i think especially when you look at the fires of course i mean you've had people sounding off about this for a long time journalist radley balko recently tweeted quote you know the pearl clutching over alleged misleading info on the page warrant application reminds me of gaffes over the no knock raid on man afford when the political class gets the tiniest taste of injustices inflicted on regular people daily they make themselves in the mendell of it's a great quote just how disconnected is the washington political elite and these guys on the hill who are voting for this kind of surveillance state tactics and then you know and then suddenly when it's this kind of brought to it suddenly oh my goodness what this exists i can't believe this yet all of us the civil libertarians and the a.c.l.u. and all that have been talking about this for years of these tactics. exactly and i
7:56 pm
think it's time we put it check on this i don't think any american would agree that we need to get rid of this completely there definitely needs to be checks and i think you're definitely seen the hypocrisy going on with congress i mean if if everyone in congress doesn't know already that every single one of their e-mails as well as every every other american citizens e-mails are being looked at or can be looked at by the f.b.i. and that these type of you know political inclinations can happen when going after certain issues like with carter page you know something have to be done and it's a hypocrisy i mean we do have the democrat memo coming out that will be interesting to see but i thought one thing that was interesting things were talking about hawkers see is according to the latest numbers when the republican member was brought to house members where they could come and read it before it was released to the public you had over two hundred eight hundred twelve republicans read the memo with about fifty eight democrats you read it now the democrats and those four house members to come up and read and i think eighty nine or ninety republicans
7:57 pm
have read it and fifty seven democrats have so actually less democrats have read the democrat memo and then read the republican memo this is the hypocrisy it's all about politics right now it's all about saving face i mean the d.n.c. is dead broke hillary clinton lost they have nobody to replace obama or bernie sanders right now and so democrats are kind of lost and and right now politics is getting the better of them when it comes to this important issue and that's one of the things i want to ask you about you know as someone who worked the campaign in two thousand and sixteen how how are these controversies you know one after another whether legitimate or not you know how are they playing on trump supporters and you know have do you feel they're going to be a big factor i mean from the memo to everything else are they going to be a big factor come come the twenty eighteen midterms i mean now today we have a huge drop in the stock market the definitely hard on him because he's tied his success a lot of times verbal lead to the stock market so how is this playing out and when your pain. he has mentioned the stock market
7:58 pm
a lot he didn't mention it today at all if you notice that we're going to break loose and we're going to be very you know cincinnati he stayed away from that but i mean if you look at the economy the economy is great all the signs are pointing towards great economic growth in the future for this country and i know donald trump has said a personal goal of reaching thirty thousand on the dow jones before his eight years are up so we'll see if he gets there but you know there need to be a correction the you know the market doesn't always go straight up all the time and we need a little correction and hopefully that's what happens in and with the great things donald trump has done they tax reform and reduction and regulation reform and that will continue to see growth. but going forward to the twenty eighteen midterms i know you've asked me this many times on the show and i've yet to say that i'm worried you're seeing the polls bounce back for a publican's in the midterms the r n c is raking in a record the mountain number one an awful lection year and i think with the memo and more things that are going to come out before then and hopefully as well
7:59 pm
getting something done with immigration reform that's the kind of energy that needs to continue within the basin with and i want from supporters to get them to the polls as they did in two thousand and sixteen so right now i am still not worried and i think these type of things only keep energizing the base and i have yet to come across any friends or other people that i've known that have disliked donald trump or like him have that support waiver and i've seen those never trumper they're coming around so you combine the twenty sixteen electorate with those never jumpers come in around him maybe stayed home or go to third party transfer over to donald trump you could see a big big turnout for republicans in twenty eighteen you know i want to ask you this is kind of a an interesting thing that outside of the drum political realm. you know after looking at pictures of the amount of best i could say kind of police state style security on the streets so many apples during the super bowl should we be rethinking our form the mess the policies i mean if we have to turn this i don't know if you've seen them but it's incredibly sheriffs drive had like soldiers you
8:00 pm
know if we have to turn our streets into a d.m.z. just to play a football game something's going wrong here we have to you know that's not just security it seems. yes you want to be safe but you know if we're worried that something bad is going to happen then not a mover like you know we need to step back and rethink this. i think it's a sign that we need to step back and rethink immigration like chain migration and other issues that donald trump is wanting to fix of course we don't like to see those images in the united states we're not a third world country we're not an issue a country that has to deal with an extremely high crime rates like others do but it is a concern and i mean terrorism is a big concern for many people in this country in you know we've had a lot of recent attacks foiled that could have been worse and they and they where you've seen you know concerts being attacked like you're on the ground but there's a certain point bozo when you look at like policies overseas if we're drone bombing .
