next, dove started poking brett's friends in california who, of course, called brett.s way through the maze. but after a few days of the game, sandra, tom, and brett began to wonder if they were getting played, suspected their phones were tapped, maybe even their houses bugged. and so they started meeting in shopping centers. tom dove: we decided to put surveillance teams on each of the individuals-- sandra jessee, tom aehlert, and bree schrauben-- during the duration of the wiretap to capture some things they may do that may not be normal while the wiretap was in place. they'd stand shoulder to shoulder in a parking lot, watching out in the parking lot and not looking at each other. keith morrison (voiceover): there's it was, like a scene from some mafia movie. the suspect out of range of recording devices, apparently deep in conversation, as they peered out into the parking lot. i think the photographs of tom aehlert and sandra jessee was worth a million words as to the depth of their involvement, and how far they would go to conceal what they had done. in their mind

>> i have to agree with brett. we had the chinese spy balloon but the hypersonic missile before that that circled the earth and our military didn't know till the chinese put out a press release. we're far behind and that was one of the reasons that president trump actually created the space force was to invest this this type of next world technology and the things that we need to keep up with adveradversaries and it's in sp. the space force just celebrated its fifth anniversary by the way. i know that trump will continue to do this. i have the air force research lab in my backyard. these people would love to see more investment and technology, but it's inexcusable that our .g doesn't know what these drones r. i don't know how any public official that don't know what's going on can get up and say these are no problem. how do they know? were they in a classified study? i think americans are legitimately concerned and the fact we don't know what's flying around in space. larry: claudia, they're coming up your way. com

what do you make of brett stevens a fellow colleague of yours.do you still see trump as a threat to democracy. >> look, i thought it was a stupid piece but i didn't think it was a sincere piece. this is really easy. you either believe donald trump is an existential threat to our democracy or you don't. clearly brett stevens doesn't. clearly by the way john fedderman doesn't. chill out? chill out? with everything trump is doing right now. you know ayman it just freaking me off and i like a lot of what fedderman has said about other issues but when someone tells me. a never trumper, someone tells me to chill out when as you said at the top of this hour, that donald trump led a violent attempt to overthrow an american election. i will never chill out as long as that's the case. we normalize this guy, ayman, trump, and our own danger. he's told us he wants to be an authoritarian. he's told us he will imprison his political enemies. he's putting people in charge of our security and law enforcement apparatus to go after his enemies. there's no fing way

brett stevenson recently published a piece about those republicans tilted "done with never trump." never trumpers are republicans who vow to oppose trump at every turn to protect democracy and the true conservative values of the republican party. one of the most prominent voices of that coalition is former congresswoman liz cheney who endorsed vice president kamala harris. stevens argues it's time for folks like her to give up the resistance and give trump a chance. as a self-identified never trumper, he admitted trump is a dangerous person from a conservative view, but he argues the moment the movement overreacted, especially about january 6th , stevens writes that trump's election lies and the capitol attack led him to vote for kamala harris, but he said democracy means letting ordinary people is decide how important january 6th is and apparently most don't see it as a big deal. let's just stop here a second. the problem with january 6th in my opinion is not solely the attack on our capitol, it's also trump's incendiary rhetoric and unfounded claims of a stolen election in the le

brett, i want you to tell me if i'm wrong is. well, they're ours. we're doing something.e're searching for something. we're doing something with our own drones over new jersey. there's just no way the united states government is at a loss. >> well, look, we talk about this, by the way, in the fox nation special close encounters of the drone kind. so i invite everyone to watch that. and we talk a little bit more about that. i've tested drones for years with the us government. all right. i was involved in a lot of different secret testing. and every single time we notified somebody at the law enforcement level down to the local law enforcement. and the fact is, no one seems to know what is going on. and that's very telling. and so that's why i don't think it is military testing taking place, because at this point, what's the incentive of them continuing to hide that? all they need to do is say, look, we are testing in this area and that's it. we don't they don't need to explain exactly what they're testing for. there's a reason why we test all these secret missiles and plan
