Many thanks to Michael Fanone and Harry Dunn for joining me on the show today as well as Everett Kelley, the head of the American Federal Government Employees Union. And thanks for all of you!
Since I now have been watching most days, and I will look for the ones I miss, it is must see for me. I especially enjoy how free flowing the expletives are. Tough times call for tough language.
Me too I love to access the video later in the day after my chores are done. YOur show and a glass of wine have replaced my Ari time. I love Ari, but he needs to stay on topic.
Jim has become my new Nicole Wallace. Usually can't catch him live, but it's nice to watch the video over dinner. A glass of wine and Jim Acosta = chef's 💋
As a retired federal employee with a TSSCI clearance, this gives me the chills of how easily Elon's minions were allowed to bring in outside servers to these agencies. At this point, our information has already been released to whoever or whatever location it was intended for.
Some federal employees say they found a program downloaded to their govt computers that could be used to sift through team chats to search for key words. Treasury computers reportedly included. Some think Elon Musk's team is looking for signs of progressive thinking or disloyalty to Trump.
It is not so much finding progressive thinking and disloyalty as it is to catch one and make an example that breaks up community, which leads to fear and suspicion; and an environment where reporting is rewarded with the safety and protection of the authoritarian until someone reports you.
Of course they are. TEAM chats should be very antiseptic. When working as an attorney for CT, I had to remind our paralegals of that, particularly as the chats were FOIAble.
As a CISO for a bank, knowing what controls are necessary to mitigate risk, what type of segregation of duties are needed to assure protection against fraud and theft if information, this SHOCKS ME TO THE LEVEL OF ANGER. I’m pissed!! I did my duty on election day and it wasn’t enough. I’m pissed!!! Seeing American citizens dedicate their lives to protect the homeland and then to be treated with such disrespect is despicable. I’m Pissed!!!! If you can’t trust a man to be around your daughter, what in the hell would you vote for him to run our country. Or not vote at all. To all the Officers and government officials across our agencies, please know there are Americans who may not know all you do but understand you are needed and want you to do what you do. To all the American people listen to these two officers as Officer Fanone stated. It will not take a political party it will take us the American people .
I’m mad ad hell and I’m not going to take this anymore.
We are in the beginning stages of the American Fascist movement.
I think it's worse, I think they brought those servers in to put hidden software into the database where Musk can enter at any moment in time from here on in. Our government servers are now insecure. God only knows what they will be able to take, give to other countries, or even plant onto these servers.
I perceive they may be working with other Governments. Remember when many republicans visited Russia and came back all Giddy! It was a meeting of the Oligarchs.
Consider freezing your credit; and purchasing a service that will continually monitor and scrub all personally identifiable information from the web and dark web. California the state that takes care of its people is the only state that has citizen credit locked down by default.
Musk has money seeded by our tax dollar in the form of government contracts and wants power. Musk is a one note monster. He is doing to our government and our country as he did with Twitter which is he brought Twitter to its knees stripped it of all value and uses for his own purposes. He is a mad man drunk on the power Trump gave to him which we gave to Trump.
Trump is a one note monster. He makes real estate deals. He cheats banks of their money. He cheats contractors. He runs buildings down as he did in New Jersey and New York. He abuses tenants and the employees. He leaves everyone holding the bag and goes off to make his next deal. But they are not deals -- they are the work of a master class con man who heads a crime family.
These two men and all who fought the January 6th insurrectionists are heroes. I agree with Michael Fanone. Where is our outrage? I am outraged and continue to encourage everyone I know to stay involved. Do not shut down, do not hope it will go away. WE ALL NEED TO ACT. LET YOU REPRESENTATIVES KNOW HIW DISGUSTED YOU ARE.. THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW. CALL YOUR CONGRESSIONAL OFFICIALS NOW. THE DC NUMBER IS
202 224 3121. They will connect you to any office you want. If the phone seems dead just hold on. It may take a few minutes but you will be connected. Do it now..Call everyone you can think of.
Michael Fanone is absolutely right, "Where is the collective outrage" at releasing the convicted insurgents! I fully expected that as soon as that happened there would be peaceful yet thunderous protests in DC and around the country. Tremendous gratitude to Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn and the other officers who fought for our Capitol, who suffered on Jan. 6th and who remain threatened by the most hateful people in our country.
Mike Fanone and Harry Dunn are heroes and national treasures! Thank you, both! ❤️🇺🇸
Thanks for posting the recording. This is becoming must see TV for me, but not always around at 4.
Same!

I don't doubt it. Nothing but nefarious activity going on in there. There is no oversight.

Yes and also the fear they all currently have to be terminated at will.
Within days we are seeing here and there people we know who are affected. Our outrage needs to be felt and right now it is a whimper.
Of course they are. TEAM chats should be very antiseptic. When working as an attorney for CT, I had to remind our paralegals of that, particularly as the chats were FOIAble.

The changes coming in likely only a few more weeks are too much for me to comprehend.

Yes but how is it a cyber attack when the information was pulled with trump permission unfortunately? This was right in front of our noses.

I attended the rally at the treasury dept- there were thousands there! We’re beginning to ramp up our efforts!
Thank you for attending 🇺🇸
Awesome Substack this morning!
The Meiselas Bros. is a great collaboration.
Government employees-hold strong! You are valued!
Great show, Jim. Love the format and look forward to next time. Maybe Duke will make an appearance? :)
Great show! Yes, more Duke shots!
Our system of government was created for honorable people. The Founders never accounted for people being willing to put criminals in office.
I am outraged...we need some way of coming together for the millions of us out here who want to help
Wow? My favorite guys in all the world together...love this group.

Let’s name the plant Betsy and put a flag in her pot. She could become famous. :)
Now I get it!
Great idea!
