I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created. Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives. And we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at Andrew and Todd Dotcom. We have a really important show in store with you today, we're going to go to the breaking news that Donald Trump has announced he's likely going to face more federal charges brought to you by Jack Smith. This is not a surprise. We have been predicting it. This is a 14th Amendment play. But I want to put this in context. We're going to go through the details of it. So it's very important in context. There are several efforts underway, some of which that are obvious. And we talk about some of which that are not so obvious to prevent a populist nationalist conservative from becoming president in 2024. This is a no joke election. You know, they like to lecture us about democracy. We are not a democracy. We are a republic. But let's pretend what they mean is representative government, which we do have representative government, and we should applaud representative government. We're not just plotted, we should support it. None of this is in the tradition of the founding father's vision of representative government. These are extra constitutional. Organizations efforts underway to stop you from having a voice, they detest you, they hate you. If you're a Christian, if you're a plumber, if you work with your hands, if you're an ordinary American, they hate your values. They hate everything you stand for, and they are playing for keeps. The 2024 election, they are playing for keeps. There's a lot of troubling news, and there are some other developments that might really be difficult for Joe Biden and the Democrats. So it's not all bad news. Let's start with the news today. I'm going to allow Joe Scarborough, because I know you guys love Joe Scarborough. I get such a kick out of the audience. Any time I play a Joe Scarborough clip, I get all caps emails. And so I just want to say in advance, please send me those emails. I love receiving them. Stop playing MSNBC. I know I'm not doing it for your reaction. I'm just doing it to make sure this is your shot of expresso. I think it gets the audience on the edge of their seat. Which is MSNBC saying that Donald Trump is going to be indicted. OK, play cut 34. We have some significant breaking news. Jonathan Lemire, it looks like looks like another indictment, perhaps the most significant indictment may be coming. Donald Trump's way. Yeah, we may be on the verge of that in just a couple of days. Just in the last few minutes, Joe, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, his fledgling social media site, to reveal this. I'm paraphrasing. He says he received a target letter from the Department of Justice from Jack Smith's office Sunday night, saying that he is indeed a target. Of the January 6th grand jury investigation, target of the grand jury January 6 investigation. OK, so we've been waiting for months about this. This is the serious one. This is the big one. This is the ballgame. This is the potential disqualifier. I have here a very handy turning point, USA, United States Constitution, which we will reference in just a second, because it all ties together. This is direct election interference. All that should be illegal. It's not. It's the federal government saying to you, the American people, we don't trust you. We cannot allow a mandate from the American people to go after the administrative state, which Donald Trump is pledging. And I think that's a really important connection before we go any further. Donald Trump is pledging to purge the deep state, to purge Leviathan using schedule F. This is one of several reasons why they are not playing around. There's other reasons. There's personal revenge, pent up resentment. I don't like him. He's a threat. He's annoying. We got to get rid of him. Uniparty hates him. The Ukraine thing is part of the southern border is part of it. But make no mistake. The if you want to get Washington, D .C. into an active posture. Say that I am your retribution, I'm going to fire people from the administrative state. The administrative state is now fighting for its life. This has been bubbling up and will result in a volcanic eruption ever since Woodrow Wilson decided to defecate on the United States Constitution. This is 100 years in the making. Woodrow Wilson versus the American people. It comes to fruition in 2024. For decades, Republicans have turned our back on the administrative state. Oh, it's fine. We can make them work for us. Not a big deal. They're like postal workers. And, you know, we don't want to declare war on it. George W. Bush was a fan of the administrative state. Even Ronald Reagan was underwhelming in disassembling it. George H .W. Bush was a creature of the administrative state, former CIA director. They got rid of Richard Nixon, the administrative state took out Richard Nixon, according to Bobby Kennedy Jr., the administrative state murdered his uncle. So this fourth branch of government, J. Edgar Hoover, Department of Homeland Security, brought to you by your Republican president, George W. Bush. All of this was a constant theme of a fourth branch of government, of an unelected bureaucracy that really runs the country. The people are no longer sovereign and it's bubbling up to this massive prize fight.

Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. Who runs the country? Do the people run the government or do the government largely run the people? The American founders established a system. They established a form of government. There should be three branches. They should check and balance one another. The complaints laid out in the Declaration of Independence that we celebrated on July 4th were largely addressed and solved at the ratification of the Constitution. The Constitution did not come ex nihilo. It did not come out of nothing. It came through an English constitutional republic tradition. It came from Roman Republican influences. Came through the study of the classics. Came through an understanding of what is a human being. How are we able to interact with one another? Biblical principles. The Constitution understood that your rights do not come from government. Your rights are given to you by God or your creator. It says very clearly in the Declaration the laws of nature and nature is God. God is mentioned four times in the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution understood that there must be first and foremost rules for government, not rules for people. In fact, it said a government shall not be able to shut you up, shall not be able to take weapons, shall not put soldiers in your home, shall not be able to spy on you, shall not be able to detain you indefinitely without a speedy trial. The United States Constitution and the following bill of rights that was ratified in 1791 was the great leap forward in self -government. That all changed with Woodrow Wilson. Woodrow Wilson, one of America's worst presidents, an evil maniacal man who actually his wife was largely running the White House towards the end of his presidency, former college professor and former president of Princeton University and governor of New Jersey, basically the accidental president who became president in 1912 when Teddy Roosevelt decided to run the Bull Moose party and primary William Howard Taft running three parties and Woodrow Wilson won with a plurality not a majority of votes. Woodrow Wilson threw away the Constitution and the promise of the founders. He said, we're more advanced than this. Blake, can you find that exact quote from Woodrow Wilson? He was more eloquent than that but I'm summarizing it rather bluntly. Woodrow Wilson basically said, we know what we want. Why do we need all these checks and balances? That government should work like a machine. It should work administratively and with that he birthed the bureaucracies, the desk workers, the administrative state. Now America was a very free country back then. You can make a lot of arguments, well we needed a department of labor and we need department of this and department of that and the entrepreneurs, the creators, the soon risk takers became outnumbered by the desk workers. The administrative state, the deep state, was exploded under Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Woodrow Wilson said, quote, the Constitution was founded on the law of gravitation. The government was to exist and move by virtue of efficacy of checks and balances. The trouble with the theory is that government is not a machine but a living thing. No living thing can have its organs offset against each other as checks and live. Woodrow Wilson made the argument, this idea of checks and balances, the tension, the slow arduous process of government, we need no more of that, we need the harmony of government and thus a fourth branch was born in defiance, a middle finger to Madison, John Jay and Hamilton. Woodrow Wilson expanded the administrative state and the administrative state was involved in displacing presidents. According to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the administrative state killed JFK. The administrative state took out Richard Nixon. The administrative state controlled Reagan in some sense, controlled H .W. Bush. H .W. Bush was actually a product of the administrative state. He ran the CIA before he became vice president then president. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush did whatever the administrative state wanted. Barack Obama quickly learned a lesson, you know, he ran a very populist campaign, we're going to reform government, we're going to restore power to the people. And made Obama a very quick realization, I'm not going to war with this, I want to last all eight years and I want a Netflix deal and I don't want to get shot in a convertible and I don't want to be removed from office like Richard Nixon. What do you want admin state? And I will do as you wish. The one president who decided to wage war in the administrative state was Donald Trump. He ran against it, he said he's going to drain the swamp, he wasn't going to put up with it. Donald Trump built things in his life for 40 years in New York City, big buildings, saved Central Park, saved Wollman Rink, the New York Convention Center. And so the administrative state for him it didn't make sense, he said where is this in the Constitution, it's getting in the way of self -government. And then of course Chuck Schumer, the clip that we've played many times on this program that we might play again, comes out and he said, for a very shrewd businessman, he's being really dumb because the CIA has six ways from Sunday to get back at you. Now the administrative state, you can call it the deep state, you can call it the shadow government, they outnumber the people's representation. Congress is supposed to be the people's representation in D .C. and we don't do a very good job of it, but we're doing better. We gave the House Republicans a majority, we have some great fighters there, we have Thomas Massie who does a good job against the administrative state, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz who's terrific, who's going to join us in a little bit. If an unelected bureaucracy has any power at all to take out actual elected and appointed members of government, they are too powerful and it's against the promise of representative government. Yesterday Christopher Wray testified and something quite rare happened. In real time, you saw representative government versus administrative government collide and it was so clear who actually runs this country. It is clear that we are no longer a country of the sovereign of the people. The new sovereign are the unelected, arrogant, smug members of the plutocracy of the Kingdom of Washington D .C. Christopher Wray believes he's better than you, he's untouchable, he runs the secret police, he is the head of the Stasi, he can spy on you, warn you, get you arrested, he flies on Gulf Streams at his liking, he's going to outlast any politician, he is a permanent installation of the bureaucracy. Here's Cut 85, Christopher Wray forgetting information, unaware of information, unable to talk about information. Does this strike you as someone who is afraid of congressional oversight? Play Cut 85. I can't remember the dates. Again, I just can't speak to that here. I'm not an expert. I'm not sure yet. I would really have to see more closely. I'm not sure that I can give you that number. I can't get into. I'm not aware of any such evidence. Not going to speak to that. I'll decline to comment further. I will work with the department to make sure we can figure out what information we can provide. Again, I'm not going to get into that here. Well, again, I don't want to speculate. I can't speak to the specifics. I can't speak to the specifics. The founders intent was never to have this fourth branch of government. It's totally unnecessary, but it fits a trend, a trend of humanity that you might have liberty and self -government. But over time, the failure to pass down those values to one generation to the other, the people slip and they slip and they slip and they clamor and they clamor. It's the same trajectory the Hebrews went on in the Old Testament. Congress's job is oversight and accountability. Wray wants nothing to do with it, but you could just tell. He's just like, I'm in charge. He's probably thinking to himself, I have dirt on all of you, Gates. He believes he is supreme, better than, above, superior. Remember, J. Edgar Hoover luxuriated in that exact same power and hubris. I'm going to play more from the hearing in a second. It's noteworthy because some of our superstars did very well, but Christopher Wray sits atop the throne. The American people don't any longer. So what is on the ballot in 2024? What is at stake in this next election? This won't necessarily resonate with, you know, non -political voters, but this is important with repeating. It is a philosophical election of what form of government do you want? If you vote for the American Democrat Party and Joe Biden, you do not believe in self -government. You believe in a permanent oligarchy. You believe in dozens of Christopher Wray's philosopher kings that have outright authority over you. Donald Trump is the only candidate in the race, maybe Vivek Ramaswamy and others. DeSantis has talked a good game on this, to his credit, but there's a reason why he's indicting him. And I'll show you contrast because the traditional Republican view is to cozy up to these intel agencies. They're doing good work. They're keeping us safe. How? Are you guys going after child sex traffickers or are you going after political dissidents? Like before you, I don't know, indict Rudy Giuliani or raid James O 'Keeffe's home or go after Steve Bannon, why don't you go after the human smugglers that are highlighted in Sound of Freedom? Chris Christie goes on television to defend Christopher Wray. This is the unit party position. This is the orthodoxy. The FBI is necessary. This is showmanship. Play cut 79. I want to respond to something that Chris Christie said on Fox News earlier today. He said that Christopher Wray had delivered extraordinary results. The problem is they're just extraordinarily awful. And like Chris Christie criticized us for engaging in fundraising theater during this committee. And I'm not going to take my notes on fundraising from a guy who was a lobbyist and was snout down in the lobbyist financial money laundering situation when he was raising money from them as governor of New Jersey. So I'm more likely to take like Chris Christie's exercise plan than I am his fundraising strategy. I think that's Gates on Fox News. That wasn't a clip. I could tell immediately person's way too skinny to be Chris Christie's. I could see it right on there. OK, I think it's 78. I don't know what's going on here. Play cut 78. What you saw today, I think, was an animated and combative FBI director who's defending the men and women who work for him every day and do a great job and protect us from domestic terrorism, from international terrorism and from these drug cartels and are helping state and local law enforcement every day with their things. So, yeah, I think Chris Ray has done a very good job. And I think, Luke, a lot of the stuff you see today, John, is theater. The people trying to raise money for campaigns doesn't mean there are problems at the FBI. There are. But I believe Chris is a guy who can get it fixed and he's fixed a lot of them already. Chris Christie represents a Republican vision. Again, he has no political support, but it's there. Donors love this. Some donors love Chris Christie. He's going to raise a ton of money, already has, which is we should make friends with the regime. We should cozy up to the UN party. Eat me last. I want to get invited to the parties. The administrative state can help me help me get contracts, help protect me. What form of government do you want? Mike Pence, remember, defended the Department of Justice. Chris Christie defends the Department of Justice and the FBI because they just don't want to get indicted and they want a comfortable life. They want a life that they can feel good. Oh, I'm on the right side of history. So who is sovereign in this country? Founders and the promise of 1776 and 1787 and 1791 is the people are sovereign. That country no longer exists. And you could see it, by the way, we're going to play more and more tape. We have Matt Gaetz coming up next. Just the smugness, the smugness, the lack of wanting to answer questions. Let me just give you another here. Christopher Wright asked by pick pick your pick your fighter ISA. How many people were there on January 6? He doesn't need to answer. He doesn't care. He's not afraid of Congress, but Congress is afraid of him. Makes you think how much blackmail Christopher and the FBI has on these members of Congress. Play cut 67. How many individuals were either FBI employees or people that the FBI had made contact with were in the January 6th entry of the Capitol and surrounding area? So I really need to be careful here talking about where we have or have not used confidential human sources. Was there one or more? Was there one or more individuals that would fit that description on January 6th that were in or around the Capitol? I can't again, I just can't speak to that here. You can't speak to it because I don't work for you, Darryl ISA. I don't work for the people. I'm the king. I run the secret police. Do you know who you're talking to? I'm the guy that gets to put you in jail. I am the law. Silly Congress person that's to deal with elections.

Thomas J. Baker Describes the Damage Done by James Comey
"Talking to Thomas J. Baker, the author of an extraordinary book, a very important book, The Fall of the FBI, How a Once Great Agency Became a Threat to Democracy. You are, in my mind, the face of the FBI to most Americans through the decades. A loyal, patriotic American doing very difficult, often dangerous work. So I think that it hurts you more than it hurts us to see this agency, which it was always flawed, but the point is it was usually doing really good, important work, to see it become what it's become. When you mention Comey, it's a stunning thing to me that somebody could be so magnificently arrogant as to do what he did. I mean, it's one thing to badmouth Hoover, but my goodness, did we learn no lessons over the decades. The idea that James Comey, who still thinks very highly of himself, would be able in the modern era to politicize something that is so much bigger than him, that affects everything. Can you speculate on how folks like this could have allowed things to get out of hand, could have allowed themselves to participate in things like this, what you just described with Crossfire Hurricane? You used the word arrogance, and that certainly is part of it, and you made the comparison or you made the reference to J. Edgar Hoover. Comey was, in my assessment, the worst director the FBI ever had, and he did the most damage to the FBI and its reputation, far greater than J. Edgar Hoover. J. Edgar Hoover had almost half a century to commit some errors. Comey did his damage in a couple of years, and his damage was fundamental.

Vivek Ramaswamy: If President, Creating a Plan for Personnel
"The vive Rama Swami were to win the presidency Do you have a plan for personnel Because I make the case you're going to have the greatest plans in the world You screw up personnel your presidency is done for day one That's a good private sector lesson Dan and having built companies the people are everything I don't blame Trump but I want to learn from both his mistakes and what he did well Frankly I've said this if I'm president I want Trump as an adviser because he's actually taken on the same deep state that I'm looking to take that agenda to the next level I want those insights I want that understanding of how to actually do it So here's my philosophy Is actually not just people selection but you have to actually purge what's already there So you have to identify certain government agencies that have gone so far off the grid So far off the reservation of where they should be like the Department of Education like the FBI and in both of those cases I have pledged to shut them down And in the case of the government indicated the Department of Education which actually visited in front of Washington D.C. yesterday I went right in front of it as I said We're going to shut it down That was not coming back I also went to the J. Edgar Hoover building in Washington D.C. yesterday And there I said yes of course we need federal law enforcement Of course that's an important function But when a particular agency and its culture becomes so corrupted and politicized the only right answer is to shut it down and create something new built from scratch like a startup to take its place And I think that that's actually one of the models that Trump did not use or maybe he didn't get to using as I said I want to take that agenda to the next level learning from those learning from those experiences I'm not saying I would have done it right on the first try either but I also don't believe in having to relearn the same lessons build on the foundation laid learn from it maybe even learn from him directly as I said I take him as an adviser but actually take that agenda the full distance to actually get that job done with moral authority and principled confidence Kind of like Reagan did in many ways too That's what I want to deliver Yeah

Sean Davis: The FBI Was Conceived on Corruption
"Faith and fidelity to our institutions is almost completely gone And how Christopher wray who claims to be an institutionalist it just continues to ignore this It's just stunning to me I mean he's almost at the point now where I believe damage wise He's as bad if not worse than Comey Oh he's awful He's absolutely awful There's a little difference between the two and that I think ray is just generally incompetent and cowardly whereas I think Comey himself is just pure evil But I almost think it's too easy to blame the problems at the FBI on ray or on come on or whoever people forget that the FBI was conceived in corruption Okay this is the agent that agency that J. Edgar Hoover ran and he had them blackmail and come up with blackmail information against members of Congress and politicians The FBI today sits in the J. Edgar Hoover building Okay So I wish it were just this nice great institution that had always been doing good fair above board work and just a couple of bad apples got in the way I don't think that's the case I think that entire institution is rotten from the ground up it needs to be eliminated and defunded and we actually need to find a way to have a federal law enforcement agency that doesn't exist to corrupt everything in politics and in people's lives based on what a ruling regime happens to think Because look I don't like red China I don't like Russia but day in and day out in this country the FBI is the biggest threat to our freedoms and liberty Bigger than any other single entity in the world right now It's the FBI If the FBI that's going and throwing people in jail for having the audacity to walk into a public building through a door held open for them by police during business hours I mean it's criminal

The Founding of the FBI Was Accidental
"The Democrats of course are going to support and defend the FBI because it's their FBI now I regret to say When I served at the Department of Justice the FBI as a collective was a straight shooter Really was But there have been many many examples in the past of abuses at the FBI even before J. Edgar Hoover And the FBI's founding was almost accidental It was founded under Theodore Roosevelt Did you know that mister producing And he created the FBI Because he didn't trust the Secret Service And it was the Secret Service that had much broader powers back then And it does even today So he didn't trust the Secret Service So he he created within the Department of Justice which had only been created about 40 50 years before the FBI This FBI And he put some loyalists in charge of it the early directors and then eventually Hoover I think was the third or fourth director and he was there almost half a century

"If you were not smart enough as an agent who swore to protect and defend the constitution of the United States Smart enough to see you were being used as an instrument as a weaponized instrument of activist political power in defiance of the constitution then I'm sorry you don't deserve your badge or your gun The administrative staff that logged the evidence that did not turn into whistleblowers immediately on this They should be fired too I'm not backing down from that one bit Nothing will change If you can just say oh you know what I was just doing my job man Wasn't me No we pay you the qualification Sean to get in the FBI Our unbelievable You need like a graduate degree four or 5 years of experience I mean it's impossible to get in there You're telling me you didn't know what you were doing was probably a really bad destructive move for our republic Give me a break I'm totally with you I'm so done with hearing that well it was just a few bad apples rank pile or grace Okay this nonsense has been going on It's comforting to us to say it's been going on for 6 years No it's been going on for like 50 This is J. Edgar Hoover The building is named after him This agency is rotten from the top down from the bottom up and has been from the beginning It's a threat to the republic It's a threat to our liberties and the best thing we can do right now is to defund it dismantle it salt the earth where it stood and leave the wreckage as an example to everyone else afterwards that you can never have an unaccountable agency like this ever again And there's no negotiation on that This thing is a threat to America's system of constitutional order because they get to do whatever they want with no accountability to their political enemies And they get promoted

"Ghosts singles with the beating of hideous heart underfoot in fortunato's final cries stifled by stone. We turn to our final tale of terror. Edgar allan poe's the raven this is without a doubt the most famous of eggers poems and stories as evidenced by its numerous references in pop culture and retailing's in various mediums. It even got mentioned in the first simpsons treehouse of horror given that level of notoriety. It seems befitting that before telling the story. I should elaborate a bit on some of the imagery in and meaning of the melancholy tale. Not that i can give you a definitive interpretation. Good luck with that on any masterful work of literature. But here's a quick walkthrough in broad strokes on what we might make of. Ea pose masterpiece put simply. The raven is a poem about death and for edgar. It isn't a pretty picture right out the gate. He flips the cheerful story opening of once upon a time by hitting us with once upon a midnight dreary from there. We meet our narrating protagonist a student or scholar whose reading volumes of forgotten lore in an attempt to mend his broken heart as he mourns the death of his lover. Lenore but all the wisdom of the ages found in his books of learning won't help our despondent intellectual instead he hears the tapping outside that leads to the very symbol of death itself. The raven entering his room were still the fiery foul plant itself. Right on top of the learned man's bust of the greek goddess of wisdom. Now you might be thinking athena into right but she's also known as palace and name. She took while grieving the death of a friend by that same name. Keep that in mind when you hear about. The raven perched on top of a bus of palace. That is athena in the poem. it's a powerful seen as it depicts the symbol of death putting underfoot or claw rather reason and wisdom and we aren't done with the ancient greco roman references yet are scholar will informs. The raven comes from quote the nights plutonium shore close quote pluto. Of course is the god of the underworld in other words. This bird of death even hails from the land of the dead at first. The narrator is amused by the raven and tries speaking with it as the raven replies without immortal phrase nevermore and yes ravens like parrots are able to talk or at least mimic what someone is saying thus are learned. Young man logically concludes the just repeating. Something picked up from some other unfortunate soul but again reason fails in the face of this symbol of death as the raven refuses to leave and keeps repeating that one word nevermore the scholar slips from his logical position and starts to give the birds repetition meaning specifically. He comes to think that the foul is telling him that the thought of death whether his own or his lovers will never leave him faced with this terrible fate. The intellectual surrenders his scholarly ideas and seeks comfort elsewhere religion as the air begins to feel heavier perhaps a physical manifestation of his extreme emotional turmoil. He sure it's due to angels called seraphim who must be in the room swinging incense burning sensors in this religious state of mind. The young scholar now wonders if the raven is a devil but he also hopes its profit sent by the angels to bring him an ancient potion that induces forgetfulness nepenthes with it perhaps our intellectual hopes to overcome his failure to negotiate death by simply forgetting it and to this the raven replies once again never more as the inescapable idea of death begins to drive the narrator into madness. He begs the raven to tell him. If there is bomb gilead This is a biblical cry for help. Edgar could be influenced by jeremiah. Eight twenty two in the old testament which reads is there no gilead. Is there no physician there. This healing balm is a medicinal resin made from the evergreens in gilead located east of the jordan river symbolically though it echoes cries for divine rest and relief from suffering essentially our anguish. Intellectual is asking if there is divine comfort to be had in the face of death the raven replies once more in the negative. The languishing narrator then asks one final question. If in some distant aiden meaning eden the heavenly paradise he shall once again be with his beloved lenore and to this. The raven utters heartbreaking nevermore seeing that neither reason nor the diviner able to spare him. The desperate man orders the raven to leave but this is to no avail. The raven remains firmly planted. A top palace athena's defeated head and casts a shadow. The shadow of death over our dejected. Protagonist in no matter what he says or does he will never escape. The shadow okay. So edgar allan poe is quite the debbie downer but why then if that's the case do so many love this poem so much perhaps. The answer is found in the cambridge companion to the gothic which says that we are quote fascinated by the strange beauty of sorrow close quote and there is beauty in the way edgar presents this tale of insurmountable death. Or maybe we don't even care about the content as much as the delivery. After all edgar put thought into appealing to average people the masses and further he considered poetry. Passion appear art. That doesn't require a deep meaning for edgar. Poetry wasn't about purpose. The aesthetic and beauty of sounds was a higher calling in and of itself. I think you'll see that in this poem. Take note when you hear his masterful use of alliteration such as win. Our morbid poet describes the raven as being grim ungainly ghastly and gaunt. But that's enough talking now that you have some thoughts and context will let edgar speak for himself. this is the last version. He approved of published in september eighteen. Forty nine just before he set off on his own deadly trip to baltimore lays gentleman. I give you the raven by edgar allan poe once upon a midnight dreary while i pondered weak and weary over many a quaint curious volume forgotten lore while i nodded nearly napping suddenly there came a tapping as of someone gently rapping wrapping at my chamber door to some visit her. I muttered tapping on my chamber door only this and nothing more I distinctly. I remember it was in the bleak december and each separate dying ember wrought ghost upon the floor eagerly. I wished the morrow beenleigh had sought to borrow from my books sur cease of sorrow sorrow for the loss lenore for the rare in radiant main home the angels name lenore nameless here forevermore and the silken sat uncertain rustling of each purple curtain thrilled.

I implore but the fact is i was napping has generally you came wrapping at so faintly you came tapping tapping at my chamber. Door scares with sure. I heard you hear. I opened wide the door darkness there and nothing more deep into that darkness peering long. I stood there wandering fearing doubting dreaming dreams. No mortal every dare to drain the four.

Wells story, the war of the worlds, right. So you knew if you were listening if you were listening exactly at the end part right there, right? But you were nobody was nobody was everybody was listening to Edgar Bergen McCarthy. So about eight minutes into both broadcast right? Nelson Eddy was a singer on Edgar Bergen. Charlie McCarthy and he came out and he saying A opera song, and it was not a popular opera song. And I mean you hear him singing here. I'm like I'm kind of myself.

Meteors are headed towards Earth. Stay tuned for more. You know something than they didn't go back to Edgar Bergen. They stay tuned. And then what happened? These Meteors Land and Grovers Mill, New Jersey and all over the you know, world And these Martians are coming out of it. You're like what the Jelly beans is going on around here, right?

The USS Indianapolis: The Deadliest Shark Attack in US History
"At fifteen minutes after. Midnight july thirtieth. The ship was struck by two torpedoes from a japanese submarine. the torpedo. strike was totally unexpected and the indianapolis went down in only twelve minutes. An estimated three hundred souls went down with the ship. This left however almost nine hundred sailors floating in the water. There were few lifeboats and not everyone had a life preserver. They were floating in the middle of the ocean and no one knew where they were. Little do they know that their nightmare was just beginning stranded floating in the open ocean. There were several problems at the survivors. Were facing the first risk was obviously drowning. The longer you're in the water the greater the risk of exhaustion. The greater the risk of your life vests becoming waterlogged and the greater the risk of drowning. The second was dehydration. You can't drink seawater so everyone would. Effectively be slowly dehydrating especially considering that they were out in the open sun. Finally the most terrifying prospect was sharks. The location where the ship sunk was in some of the most shark-infested water in the world and the sharks. That were there. Were some of the world's most aggressive the oceanic white tip shark. The ship sank in pitch darkness while the sailors in the water could hear each other. They could barely see each other. The sharks were attracted by the sounds of the explosion and the movement of the men and of course blood in the water the first night the sharks mostly attacked the dead bodies in the water. When the sun came up most of the men began to join up and link arms with each other by joining a group in improve their buoyancy. They were able to give each other moral support and they could keep the sharks at bay and a group. The men could all clearly see the sharks. They were swimming under and around them survivor. Edgar herald recorded the scene in the open water as quote at any given time. You could look out and see big fin swimming around and around and around all of a sudden. You heard a blood-curdling scream and you look to see. The shark had taken him under and quote. The men in the water waited for relief to arrive but no one showed up. As the hours passed it went. In today's men became delirious from the sun exhaustion and dehydration. Some began swimming to illusionary islands. Off in the distance some would break away from their groups and started thrashing making them easy targets for the sharks. When someone in the group died they would often push the body away trying to placate the sharks for a while by offering up one of the corpses

"Build a laboratory in this kind of stuff and the person put the budget together mostly was clyde tolson that was toxins or role was sitting next to him saying you know in congress if they ask him a question about the budget colson. Newell all about it in all his years in every year testifying to the appropriations committee. They never refused gave more money year after year after year. In a way got that money. We're statistics he would say you gave us this much money. This is much how we we return to the government in fines savings and recovery's and we were statistically as an aged. You are responsible for statistics. And you could make so. Many statistics bite stolen cars because local police didn't wanna do it stolen cars but now in cincinnati kentucky was over the ohio river and we'd have stolen vehicles back and forth and we would clammed on stolen vehicles in good the blue not the blue book price but a significant increase in price so he used those statistics statistics to him. Were like a drunk leaning up a glam. Lamppost for support not illumination. That's seriously that those statistics so he was never denied his budget requests his entire tenure as head of the bureau. I don't remember the exact words. But i think i remember. There's a scene in the movie. Where he he talks about how much money that they've brought in from fines and stuff like that and he makes the joke. Oh word the only department and the government is actually pulling a profit something like that. So let's true. He quit those statistics together. And we we got hammered out in the field to make sure put that value on that case. That was involved in was a hijacking of a tractor trailer. Eighteen wheeler that was filled with aspirin and crooks would sell the aspirin black market. Two different pharmaceutical could know cvs or whatever and make a fortune but we estimated that truckload. And this is one thousand nine hundred sixty nine we estimated that truckload of aspirin to be worth a hundred thousand dollars to the thieves aspirin everything it can imagine. That was stolen from interstate transportation. Stolen property stealing trucks in tires tractor trailers and volved in a lot of those cases but going back to the whole point was a chemical thing. Saying we're the only agency that makes a profit for the government. That's kind of true in a way just like some of the illegal things were legal in some way politics. Dan the things that i knew about him. If i could just put one handle on him was he was a professional political poker player. He knew how to play political poker now. Mike book a lot of the things that he did that was so precise. I know how god again but this is kind of an interesting story. I would have to prepare make appointments by phone. Then prepare note for put it on his desk. The top of the background to i would get from the crime rates. They should put it on the right side of his desk. And put a paperweight on top of it now. This paperweight Was a plastic paperweight. And it was embedded with a coin that had a donkey on one side. You flip over the paperweight in an elephant on the other side had so if the first visitor came in it was a democrat. That donkey should've been showing all. I'd have my ass and asleep and if the next one's a republican i have to go in and bill the paperweight over. That's how precisely was just to give you some idea what it was like office. Wow yeah that's that's a level of detail that is just fascinating. You mentioned earlier the confidential files and at the very end of the movie we do see miss gandy shredding those after hoover dies but you also mentioned nixon having a good relationship with hoover and we don't really see a lot of nixon to movie but we see at the at the end. It seems like i remember the exact phrasing but basically the hoover believes that nixon's gonna come for him. And because nixon knows about the files and so that is why in the movie. Hoover has gandhi. Get rid of the files if anything happens to him and then of course. We see that you know he. He passes away and immediately. Two things happen one. Miss gandhi starts reading the documents as soon as she finds out about hoover's death and also as soon as nixon finds out about it. He sends people to try to get those files. How will did the movie do showing the end of hoover's life and what happened in the wake of his death horrible to include those files in nixon in hoover's death itself. It was just so absolutely wrong. Hoover toll gandhi to destroy his personal files in files. The files were never kept hoover's office in his interoffice kept in a basement. They were kept in gandhi's office the most secret when over died nixon was an election year. He was running against goldwater and what had happened was during the campaign. The united states bombing cambodia. We weren't supposed to do but john dean and kissinger they convinced. Nixon asset a lot of weaponry bonds and everything where hidden in cambodia and so blah blah blah had the planes. I think was like thirty. Six hundred bombing grains of cambodia in leaked out because it doubt nixon was sort of paranoid out and john dean told them what we have to do is incorporate all the intelligence agencies on their wanted teleconference agency and have only one guy lean all intelligence agencies and so nixon hired guy. He took him out of the military were pentagon at twenty eight year old rightwing lawyer guy by name of houston and it was called the houston plan. He wrote this plan up. And nixon wanted hoover to chair this plan to put this together to incorporate all these Intelligence agencies hoover refused over new hoover knew that if he was chairman as soon as that plan was made everybody else would leave and he'd be stuck with that on his shoulders and he knew for sure that all of that stuff that they're doing which was similar to the counter intelligence program only wars with what they were advocating. so hoover said he wouldn't do it then. The attorney general tried to convince them into doing it and said okay. I'll do it. But only if president nixon signs off on it in writing and you also sign off at writing. Well nixon said forget about it so nixon dead and this kind of interesting because hoover refused this. Because you should see this program you know talk about black bag jobs in violating constitutional rights. But what you've already didn't said put together an investigative unit that became known as the plumbers. The ones that broke into watergate. And then some of the people were blaming hoover for watergate. Hoover was dead for a year before watergate and there was still blaming him because they said if he would have agreed to nixon's plan the fbi experienced breaking into offices Taking.

"How was hoover's relationship with some of the president's we we see throughout the movie that i think there's there's a scene where the phone rings and he's like all of that child. Kennedy's is calling again or something like that. You know and kind of get the sense that he has no problem butting heads with the president. even though it's the president we only president that. I'm aware that he had a problem with was harry. Truman and truman was afraid to fire. Because of the reputation hoover had already developed. He had a tremendous relationship with nixon until the very end. 'cause nixon was the big fighter against communism in this in the senate. The tide and that was hoover's passion was communism. And that was walter. Windchills passion to going back to the comic books in advertising hoover. Walter winchell exchanged information walter. Winchell would give them information about certain people that would go in the files in the secret files in. Hoover would drop a few nuggets about certainly investigation. So that another. That was another the bargaining chips. That went on at the time. There are some ways that the movie depicts hoover using the law that i would see as being kind of controversial you. You're talking about how the they weren't allowed to use guns. But in the very beginning hoover give some of his agent guns and says oh. They're gifts from me to you. And there's nothing. There's no law saying preventing you from using your own weapons and now i'm giving you these gifts There were the advertisements we kinda talked about. There's a later on it. It does talk about hoover trying to essentially blackmail. Mlk for to not accept the nobel peace prize. So i got the sense throughout in these different examples at the movie shows that was very good at adhering to the letter of the law but maybe kind of bent around the spirit of the law in order to get some of the results that he wanted would that be a fair assessment of what he was like. I think so but the examples given aren't good but he would skirt the law but a lot of things weren't illegal but they weren't legal either. It would skirt the ticket but in most cases than it was that because the president told them to do something in the president would always use national security quote unquote national security. Even if it wasn't but he the president the president tells them you'd have to do this because of national security. He doesn't have much choice. Really would skirt the law but in the movie. I'm not sure those are good examples. Probably the best example is when he formed the what we call the co intel pro counterintelligence program and i was part of that but it started way before me it started like a nineteen fifty three or nineteen fifty six and basically it was an infiltration of the communist party. The us a party communist was used against the ku klux klan and it was an infiltration and we would get informants inside those organizations and then tell other people in the organization that this guy's fbi spy but we tell them we'd have somebody else tone it so in a ku klux klan probably one of five members less spy for the fbi because we paid them is well and then they became afraid to talk to each other because everybody thought everybody else was firing on them and we did the sin. We did the same thing during my career. Only directed to the new left. radical organizations. like the weatherman. You know violent organizations that were opposing other vietnam. War era was before your time. But it was a whole that air the sixties and seventies are probably the worst time in us history luna civil war fires bombings hijackings just about every with the bombings in the burnings in the riots in the looting just horrible but we would use the counterintelligence program to skirt the law black bag jobs. We'd be breaking into apartments in houses without a warrant to get information even knowing that we couldn't use said information as evidence in court it'd be thrown out but we used it to get leads. One of the things. I did when i was based in cincinnati colleges and universities as a junior political science. Major how i was young. It looked younger than i was. And so i could blend in with the college students in one of the things. I did was organized a bus trip for the cincinnati local colleges to go to columbus ohio. Ohio state is for a rally of the students for democratic society. In i had a bus and everything and there was no rally but these kids were put on the bus. They paid money. They went to at when they got the columbus they agreed. Fbi agents will all right. What's your name address. Does your parents know you're doing this so it's just who who who said to us. We want these kids to think. There's an fbi agent behind every mailbox. At the time. Dan i drank the koolade after it bit because i thought i was doing the right thing but who is to say what the law is that i can violate the law but you can but at the time those were the. I wouldn't do it today but we did. Violate the law. And some of the guys later got indicted That were involved in doing those black bag. Jobs against the weatherman group the flip side of that something that Another sense that i got from throughout the movie was it. Hoover was simply brilliant. Innovator he knew that the standard at the time least the way the movie portrays it weren't up to the task so he started to turn to science. We talked about you know a little bit earlier with the lindbergh kidnapping you know fingerprints and handwriting. Things like that but those are just a few examples that we see in the movie. And as i was when i was done watching the movie i just came out with it with the sense that hoover basically lead criminal justice into a new science driven era that it wasn't necessarily in before. Is that true. It's true he had a hard time convincing people but he did it. He pretty stubborn guy when it came when he felt that he was right and it all started when he went to work for the library of congress when it got out of college. Oh that system there. They showed that in the movie like he like he organized. All of that. I think showing that miss candy will this candy was there. He he worked on the card catalog system and he brought that system to the fbi. And that's how are all our criminal files. In domestic intelligence files are based on that same card system that he helped put together at the library of congress so when you talk about being innovative that was one thing as well as the fingerprints fingerprints were scattered all over the place. But when i when i arrived in one thousand nine hundred sixty five. I think they had over two hundred million fingerprints file and it was all said they had entire building. I think was c. street in washington. You know several blocks away from bureau headquarters bureau headquarters at the time was in the justice building. They didn't build a j. Who've ability till nineteen seventy three. I seventy two seventy three anyway the innovation. He testified in that house committee on appropriations every year to get money talk about the budget and he always had stuff for innovation into budget for Helping to.

"When that was said or there were rumors his whole career ever since clyde tolson entered his life about homosexuality but he couldn't take the chance on public being caught some homosexual act so i can't say he was. I can't say wasn't but i never the only clues i had end was would everybody else. They saw him. He wasn't married. He didn't he wasn't dating anybody. He spent all his free time in his working. Time with clyde tolson. Who has a bachelor. So that could be indicative. I guess or could be indicted for being a homosexual breath. That's the case helen. Gandy to get married so she a lesbian. I did want to ask you about that though because the movie the very beginning the very first date hoover proposes to helen gandy. She refuses. i'm going to be married to my job. And that of leads to her being his assistant. I guess throughout the rest of the move you. Then you'll clyde tolson enters and we see very clearly in the movie. There's this relationship between between clyde and and hoover and then there's helen gandy how is their interactions together from your perspective. Like a. you're saying that they clearly knew a lot of things that perhaps other people may not half about hoover well because they were with them every day and by honestly believe that both of a love hoover but not gandhi didn't love in a romantic way. She just she defended him till after his dying day which he added testify in congress about the secret files and she said she did destroy the files but hoover's instruction but there was nothing secret about them. She says i knew about him coakley tulsa knew about him in one of the freshman congressman said miss gandhi. I find a hard time believing you. She says well you have that choice. And she was in her late seventies testifying in cobbles. That's such a great response. She was a great lady. I have in my book referring tours. The most powerful woman in the us government in twentieth century fifty years. Where she was room she ran. The bureau's munches hoover that maybe in some cases more so so it's really a powerful lady. Nobody knows anything about her. But i spent every day doing something with her. She used to come into work on saturdays to check them. If there was any mail that had to be sent to hoover's house could the bureau messenger take their in. Hoover went to the race. Track with clyde tolson saturday when he loved the races a short period of time. After i was there she felt such loyalty with me. She has who could sit at her desk on saturdays so that she could have a little time for a few excesses. I don't know why he approved but he did because he he really guarded the stuff that i wanna cross miss gandhi's desk so i said her at her desk and did the same thing on saturday she would come in about two o'clock. The energy go to salon hair salon and she come in about two o'clock. I brown bagged at a sandwich for hers while for me and i complimented her hair every saturday and it never changed. Her stunt never changed but she loved me complimenting it with the relationship. I had with her so she shared a lot of things with me. Both personal and bureau is and that's where a lot of my knowledge comes from us to would ebb coming from her. You said she not allow people knew about her. Was that by her choice. Some people just prefer to be more in the shadows. I got the sense from the movie that hoover wanted some of that glory and i did miss gandy prefer to work in the shadows more behind the scenes. Yeah she did and she did a good job. In hoover wooden Hoover would not have been hoover but for helen gandy. She was really behind the scenes. Someone should make a movie about her but they probably couldn't come up with enough information. Be more speculative She was the highest paid female employees. In the entire department of justice man. Forty thousand women in the department of justice and she was at highest paid. When i met her when i first came there she was sixty nine years old and it was mandatory retirement age of seventy back. Then hoover guided exemption from president johnson. Hoover turned seventy the same year. I enter the bureau in. I entered when i was twenty two. He turned seventy in. Johnston said an executive order. Exempting him from the retirement act and with favor very famous quote that johnson had he said i'd rather have him inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in so he gave them an exemption and then who was able to give gandhi tolson exemptions when they turns uh seventy because the law said if the person is essential to the government so hoover declared them essential. That's kind of a side thing. But i think it's important to note when i was growing up one. Christmas tradition in my family had was to do a puzzle each year. We had a different puzzle that we do and it spread it out on the kitchen table and work on it as a family fast forward to today. And if you're like me most of your days probably spent behind some sort of a screen a phone a tv to watch today's movie or in my case making this podcast means spending a lotta time behind a computer screen. So i've been trying to find ways to get out from behind a screen more often. And when i got to try you to dragons puzzles who was a great opportunity to have a friend. Come over to help and really did take me back to that family. Time around the kitchen table. It was a lot of fun to detached from the screens for a while and distress over a fun activity. Of course there was one major difference. You knew dragons. Puzzles are a lot more colorful in their design than any of the puzzles that my family had when i was a kid and they've got their own unique shapes. They're not just the square or rectangle puzzles the for example. I got mysterious lion and even the puzzle pieces themselves were little animals.

"Something that we were talking a little bit earlier with the mustache guy and how he treated that. But after the hearing and congress in the movie we see hoover he. He's super angry. Mckellar had pushed hoover to admit that he had never made an arrest. Yeah he embarrassed him essentially but outside of the courthouse are. I'm sorry outside outside of congress there Hoover makes a decision to essentially fire or demote. Purvis who was the one that had taken down john dillinger. And i was watching this. I was like well. I mean i get that. Hoover was embarrassed but seems like h impervious did his job. Well and the reward for that is going to be demoted or being fired. It almost gave the idea that hoover was just vindictive with his agents is that is there an accuracy seated not at times. But i don't think that was the time hoover impervious had personal friendly relationship for years. They used to exchange letters about helen gedi because hell gandhi whenever purpose would come in. She got a little. Google lied about purvis. tease purvis about. Maybe he's infatuated with helen candy and went back and forth with several blunders and everything and they got a big kick out of. They'd laugh about it. Gay didn't know about those letters. Even though they had personally confidential files eating even lead gay these seek because in one of the letters guber said to purpose. Picture her in a cellophane gown. When you're going to the dance. I can see why he didn't want her to see us letter so anyway what had happened was over time. Purvis started getting more and more publicity. Who sort of making it look like Purposes running the fbi in that level so he was taking a lot of glory or away from hoover at he was told by over to cut. It did fire okay. So but he did give him a chance that it wasn't like i mean the movie it's like go find him and you know fire him and i i can't. I don't know what happened. What when that movie said. They had four agents. Following the senator. The congressman. I don't know anything about that. I can't. I really can't offer anything there. I don't know if it's true in that we're talking about her earlier another aspect of the movie and really of hoover's personality that we see in the movie Is his relationship with his mother. He's super close with her. There's a even a scene after the the hearing congress where he tells his mother that's not sure if he can trust anyone but her most of the movie. He's living at home with her. Gave me the impression that you know if he's the director but he's still living at home then has to be clearly by choice. I'm assuming he's not doing that because you can't afford his own place or anything like that so they had to have had a super close relationship. How is the movies representation of this relationship between hoover and his mother. So speculative dan because who know just whoever and his mother. What else in the house to to verify any of those things that relationship between his mother he was in a house with her for forty three years he died any went gun another house. In your right he certainly could afford to have his own house When he started off as the His salary was equivalent to today's one hundred thousand dollars. In his latter years his salary was equivalent to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars of today so he had plenty of money to do what he wanted to but he didn't have that much money to live the lifestyle that he lived because he was given so much stuff by so many people it free rooms etc etc so i think that background should help you understand more when i met. Hoover was like thirty years after he moved out of his house and he never talked to me about any aspect of the family. The only things i learned about his family were from his gandhi and she would talk to hoover's sister periodically lillian. Her name was slowly in rob. Annette choose mary robinson but very very seldom gandhi said anything to me about who responding over never said anything. Now i think and this is my opinion that hoover's fought hoover's had a brother who was fifteen years older than him so he never did anything with his brother and his sister was even older than that but his father became senile dementia. Alzheimer's would have you and so he ended up being institutionalized and his mother was very ashamed of this father. You know this is back in the day. What people's et guys crazy in Nope nobody really understood mental illnesses or anything. But she was very embarrassed in shame about her husband and that's why she pushed hoover to bring big light over that family to offset the embarrassment she had from her husband and of course his brother was something else. You know insignificant. So i think his father was the main reason for the mother treating him the way. The relationships is portrayed. And i could see even just from a security standpoint. If you're the director then you wanna keep your personal life pretty private just from a security point of view too. I would imagine only think he ever thought of from a security standpoint each is what is privacy and i mean. He won his privacy. More than tiger woods wants his privacy. It kept pretty private. He was an interesting guy and we made sure but he didn't carry a gun for security. He had the bureau lab guys than book lab. Age installing security system is home but he would take walks in the neighborhood. I think he felt that he was bulletproof himself. The only thing that showed any aspect of security was the fact that he had an armored car that was driven for him. And i don't even think that was for security dan. I think it was just a symbol is some of being a king. I don't think they showed much in the movie about that. This mother things though was be honest with you. I danced with my mother. I never thought was a problem dancing with my mother in a we go to weddings. Identify sisters but the way they portray that scene. Yeah speaking of the relationships. There's another one you mentioned him. But that would be clyde tolson in the way that the movie portrays that it seems in a lot of those private moments which granted like. You're saying that we're not going to really know what goes on there at home but we. I get very heavy implication from the movie that who was struggling with his sexual orientation throughout the entire thing. And you're talking about dancing there. I remember their exact phrasing of what he said. But basically said something along the lines up you know. I don't like to dance especially not with women. And then she flat out tells them that she'd rather have a dead son than a daffodil for a son.

"Never heard of hoover. He had his own police. The new jersey state police than other investigators over there and he had no background about the bureau of investigation or go self and he actually told jag hoover that he didn't want him around at the start of the investigation. That's not what the bureau famous or got him. It was the end of the investigation when they are able to work together with the irs. To mark the bills for the ransom so hoover didn't pay attention to lindbergh not paying attention to him. He still went on because he felt that he could do a better job than the state police in new jersey has turned out he did so from that standpoint. The movies pretty accurate. The movie seems to imply that this after that is as a result of that it really changed the public's perception of the fbi those kinds of this shift they use movies as an example. Like there's movies of gangsters glorifying them and then it starts to shift to putting up law enforcement instead. They're the heroes. Instead of the gangsters being the heroes. Is that accurate yeah. That's pretty true. Because of the nineteen thirties we referred to it as the gangster era and bank robberies. See in the The bureau didn't have much jurisdiction over all of that and it wasn't until the lindbergh kidnapping that people started paying attention to the fbi but If my memory serves me correct did they find the baby in nineteen thirty two or nineteen thirty three. I was in the early thirties. I'd have to look up the exact. You're also came. My wine is that it took two or three years of over testifying before congress to get more jurisdiction can it wasn't until nineteen thirty five which was two or three years after the kidnapping that hoover talked the congress into passing legislation to give the bureau more powers of arrest more par to give them powers of arrest and it wasn't until nineteen thirty five they were allowed to carry guns and used their guns. There was a bit of a gap between the kidnapping in the fbi really changed become and that's when they became the fbi instead of bureau investigation was nineteen thirty five and it was because of those congressional hearings in hoover making a case. When you're talking about the hearings. And i wanted to ask you about that. I mean i couldn't help but notice this as you know with the concept of my podcast being based on a true story. There's a moment where hoover's testifying in front of congress and senator mckellar asks about the bureau's advertising in radio shows and comic books and and i think he actually quotes that's Something one of the advertisements says it's quote true reflections as contained in the official records based on actual case files for the federal bureau of investigation. And of course the concept of my show i had had to ask. Was that something that the fbi was involved in like early on helping to create radio shows that were based on a true story. Too quickly answer your question. Yes but it wasn't like they made paid advertisements from the time that i was in the fbi in working for over like the fbi program in the nineteen sixties and early seventies called the fbi effort. Simplest junior. I don't know if you ever saw from jet zimbalist junior was lieutenant inspector lou erskine and that show ran for nine years on tv the show on tv which say taken from the files of the fbi right that was a bit deceptive but it was true what our crime records division which is basically a public relations arm of the bureau. They would take maybe six kidnapping cases and provide that information to the scriptwriters the scriptwriters within cherry pick different parts of the six kidnappings and inform a story for tv. So take it from the files of the fbi. Yes but it was a bit deceptive. It was the same with bank robberies era six bank robberies armed robbers. They will do that and my opinion is that this all started back. When did the radio stuff because even back in the nineteen fifties to in the top ten fugitives program was founded in that was because of hoover talking to head writer of the international association a press association something and he talked him into publishing this top ten stuff and so there was a lot of publicity for that as well so my point is yes. This stuff went on but hoover didn't pay anybody to do it. It was kind of a bartering type of thing. You help us. We'll help you. And that would make announcements of fugitives. That were looking for in that kind of stuff. They did have junior g man badge. That was well before my time. Because people had simon and schuster asked me if i had a junior jeep. Expect and i told my thought. That's what might real badge. Look you have the real and you know all this. I am even. That was before my time going back to.

"The raven by edgar allen poe. This is a labor. Vox recording by phil shin avair. The raven once upon a midnight dreary while i pondered we can weary over many acquaintan- curious volume of forgotten a lower. While i nodded nearly napping suddenly there came a tapping as of someone gently rapping rapping at my chamber door to some visitor. I muttered tapping at my chamber door. Only this and nothing more Distinctly remember it was in the bleak december and each separate dying ember wrought. It's ghost upon the floor eagerly. I wished the moro vainly. I had sought to borrow from my books surface of sorrow sorrow for the lost lenore for the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name lenore nameless here forevermore and the silken said uncertain rustling of each purple curtain. Thrilled me filled with antastic terrors. Never felt before so that now to still the beating of my heart. I stood repeating. Tis visitor intriguing entrance at my chamber door. Some late visitor intriguing entrance at my chamber. Door this it is nothing more presently. My soul grew stronger Then no longer sir. Said i are madame. Truly your forgiveness. I implore but the fact is i was napping and so gently you came wrapping and so faintly you came tapping tapping at my chamber door. That is scarce. We sure i heard you hear. I open wide the door darkness there and nothing more deep into that darkness peering long. I stood there wondering fearing doubting dreaming dreams. No mortal ever dared to dream before but the silence was unbroken and the stillness gave no token and the only word they are spoken was the whispered word. Lenora this whispered and an echo murmured back the word lenora merely this and nothing more back into the chamber turning all my soul with envy burning. Soon again i heard a tapping somewhat louder than before surely said i. Surely that is something that my window lattice. Let me see then what that is and this mystery explore let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore just the wind and nothing more open here. I flung the shutter win with many a flirt and flutter in their step a stately raven of the saintly days of your not the least obeisance made he not the minute. Stop dr st. He packed with mean of lord or lady perched above my chamber door perched upon bust of palace just above my chamber doerr perched and sat and nothing more then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling by the grave and stern decorum of the countenance at war though by crest be shorn shaven thou. I set art. Sure no craven ghastly grim ancient raven wondering from the nightly sure. Tell me what thy. Laurie name is on the nights. Plutonium shore.
