and when people started to figure things out for themselves on reddit, they found a satanic cult that not actually exist. so we have to be very careful and say hey, this is the point of this entire thing is to create innuendo, create suspicion, create the appearance of impropriety, even if it's not there. >> malcolm, ben looks at this through the lens of disinformation, something he knows incredibly well. for you, when you look at this through the lens of national security, how should this be treated? >> well, it should be treated for the way that we have learned that information like this should be treated. we didn't do in 2016. this is a weapons system. it is a guided disinformation missile, which has been carefully crafted, which has been lovingly assembled, which has been put into the missile launcher of rudy giuliani's mouth and brain, and it has now been projected whether it was done clandestinely through an ally of the trump campaign. this could be almost generically donald trump with rudy giuliani providing the payload, which is this fake information and using very old spy cra
