00:01:18.340
Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to the Great America Sunday Show. Great to have
00:01:23.220
you with us. Over this past week, the House of Representatives successfully moved a contempt
00:01:28.760
of Congress vote through the committee and on to the House floor. That House floor vote
00:01:35.120
is expected to come sometime this week and it's all becoming very real to Hunter Biden that
00:01:41.780
he may soon be held in contempt of Congress. It may be the reason he suddenly changed his course
00:01:47.840
and maybe his attitude, we'll see, making a full 180. Hunter's attorneys telling Congress Friday that
00:01:55.260
the first son will now agree to sit for that deposition in his father's impeachment inquiry.
00:02:02.940
His attorney, Abby Lowell, informed House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and House Judiciary
00:02:09.300
Committee Chairman Jim Jordan of his client's, well, come to Jesus moment. His decision to go ahead and do
00:02:17.180
what the law requires. But they ask, of course, that a new subpoena be issued since Congress formally
00:02:23.620
approved an impeachment inquiry since Hunter Biden was first asked to be interviewed. For my part,
00:02:29.640
I would think the Republicans wouldn't engage in any of Hunter's deception and games further
00:02:34.520
and move straight ahead with the contempt of Congress vote. We'll see. And over on the Senate side
00:02:40.540
of Capitol Hill, Mitch McConnell and the boys hard at work this coming week trying to figure out how to
00:02:46.120
get the most amount of money to Ukraine in this latest bloated budget agreement. Senator Rand Paul
00:02:52.760
says the Republicans, namely Mitch McConnell, are selling out to the Marxist Dems on the border
00:02:58.440
because Mitch McConnell is more aligned with Biden and the Marxist Dems than the Republican Party.
00:03:05.780
On this issue, he is more aligned with Biden. On the issue of funding, sending your money to Ukraine
00:03:10.960
and sending it everywhere around the world, McConnell is much more closely aligned with
00:03:16.740
Our guest today is Senator Tommy Tuberville of the great state of Alabama. And Senator,
00:03:21.920
always great to talk with you. Welcome back to The Great America Show and great to have you with us.
00:03:27.700
Let's start with this apparent negotiation that's been going on between the Speaker of the House,
00:03:32.360
Mike Johnson and the Biden administration. Your thoughts?
00:03:36.660
Well, number one, the Democrats want nothing to do with closing the borders. That's, you know,
00:03:40.880
they're wanting more voters to come in. They think that we'll vote for them in the long run,
00:03:45.080
Luke. It's a catastrophe. It's one of the worst things that's happened in your and my lifetime
00:03:49.920
here being a citizen of this great country. But the Democrats want zero solution. The only reason,
00:03:56.660
the only reason that there's any kind of conversation that that's going on with trying to come up with
00:04:02.000
some kind of solution or some kind of new priorities for the border is because the Democrats
00:04:07.100
and a few neocons, the Republicans, want $100 billion for Ukraine. I mean, that's the only
00:04:12.520
reason. If Ukraine wasn't a factor, Lou, we wouldn't even be talking about this. So there I've
00:04:18.680
heard that Senator Chris Murphy on the Democratic side and Senator James Lankford have been talking
00:04:24.540
over the holidays and trying to work out something. I think they've got something that
00:04:28.000
they agree to, and they're writing a text this week, possibly could vote on it next week.
00:04:33.480
But there's nothing they could do at the border that would satisfy me, to be honest with you,
00:04:37.380
because, you know, at the end of the day, we can come up with all these solutions.
00:04:42.880
They're not going to do anything. There's laws right now to stop what they're doing,
00:04:45.860
Lou. They're not going by them. They're breaking the law, the Constitution.
00:04:48.640
Joe Biden's broke laws every day. He's been in office and it's not going to change.
00:04:52.600
Is the Republican leadership in the Senate and obviously the House as well, do they really
00:05:00.780
believe the American people are dumb enough to believe that the Republicans are getting
00:05:06.240
anything for going along with Biden, that there is any way in the world that Biden would start
00:05:12.740
shutting down what is now the cartel border along that 2,000-mile stretch?
00:05:17.960
Yeah, my understanding, Lou, is they're coming up with some kind of number metric of how many
00:05:24.080
would be feasible or that we would allow to come across. And I'm thinking, wait a minute,
00:05:30.180
one illegal coming across is against the law. And they're talking about 4,000 or 5,000 a day that,
00:05:36.080
okay, we'll cut it down from 10,000 to 4,000 or 5,000. Now, if the American people swallow that
00:05:40.420
and agree to that, along with Democrats and a few Republicans, we got huge problems because
00:05:47.340
these people are costing us billions of dollars a month. They're bringing across drugs. There's
00:05:55.320
190 countries, 193 countries in our world, and 190 countries have been known that have been
00:06:03.380
participating and come across our borders. So I don't think the American people are going to buy
00:06:08.300
anything other than what President Trump was trying to do is build a dang wall, get it up,
00:06:12.680
and then allow the people that we won't allow to come here. That's the only way that we're going
00:06:17.200
to be able to handle this. Well, there's something very interesting going on because Biden, who's in
00:06:21.880
immense trouble because of his approval numbers, he's got the lowest polling of any president of
00:06:26.860
modern history. But on the issues, the approval rating on issues, his approval rating right now is
00:06:33.460
26% on immigration and border security. That's the lowest on any issue, and it ranks amongst the
00:06:41.700
very highest issues for the American people. And yet, there is no response whatsoever. There's
00:06:48.880
no change in direction by this Marxist-dim party of Democrats and no change of policy or direction
00:06:56.880
whatsoever on the part of the Biden regime. What do you think?
00:07:02.520
That's the reason in 2016, Lou, that the American people elected a non-politician businessman by the
00:07:09.720
name of Donald J. Trump, because he ran on his number one agenda was stopping people at the border. And
00:07:18.040
people are sick and tired of it, because our American tax dollars go more to anything, go to the people that
00:07:24.240
coming across more than the people that need help here in our country. And so it's going to be the same idea
00:07:30.220
here. It's going to be the same agenda. President Trump's going to run on the border. He'll win because of
00:07:35.160
that. We cannot continue to do that. And we got to get the Republicans on board with President Trump. You know,
00:07:42.140
there's 18 of us that have said, hey, we're for President Trump. I don't know where the other ones are. Sooner or
00:07:47.580
later, I guess they'll come, you know, come to their senses and say, we've got to have a Republican in there
00:07:53.600
that's going to be for the American people. But that is exactly why Joe Biden is is his numbers
00:08:00.840
have just tanked because of his what he's done at the border. And and again, you know, you got
00:08:06.240
Mayorkas thinking about impeaching. The guy's not going to close the border. You can impeach him all
00:08:10.500
you want. I mean, he's already told everybody the border is not open. It's closed. Well, I tell you
00:08:14.720
right there, he he doesn't know what he's doing. So we have got to have people that actually care about
00:08:19.500
this country and the people of this country. Well, you're talking about 18 endorsements out
00:08:24.160
of the Senate. Is Senator Lankford one of those endorsing the president? You know, I don't I don't
00:08:29.960
know whether he is or not. I know that Senator Tom Cotton was the last one that came out last week.
00:08:34.800
I was the very first one because, you know, I represent Alabama and we're strong for the
00:08:39.780
Constitution and for the president, President Trump. And of course, he's up here in D.C. today,
00:08:46.020
right down the street from my office having to go to court again because the Marxist Democrats
00:08:51.840
are going after him, trying to keep him off the ballot because they know if he wins, he's
00:08:55.720
fixing to close shop with what they're doing and they can't allow that to happen. So they're
00:08:59.840
going to fight him every way they possibly can. They're going to try to put him in jail.
00:09:02.960
It's criminal what they're doing. But I think the American people who are finally seeing through
00:09:07.600
it, if they don't, we got huge problems anyway. Right. And by the way, the order of endorsements
00:09:12.880
for President Trump from the senators, by the way, they are ordered by intelligence, character
00:09:19.940
and judgment. And you wouldn't be surprised to learn that Senator Tommy Tuberville is number
00:09:26.040
one in those endorsements. Senator, we're coming right back with you. Folks, stay with us. We're
00:09:32.000
going to take up a lot of issues you don't want to miss. We're talking with Senator Tommy
00:09:42.880
We're back now. We're talking with Senator Tommy Tuberville. I want to turn to the GOP
00:09:49.780
lawmakers. They're not too pleased about the one point, almost seven trillion dollars that
00:09:56.240
Johnson and Schumer have come to come to agreement on. Apparently, what is the sense? Because I know
00:10:03.920
there's a lot of hostility and disappointment and frustration in the House with what Speaker
00:10:09.560
Mike Johnson did with the the triumvirate of I'll call them basically rhinos and dims.
00:10:18.960
What is the situation in the Senate on the budget agreement?
00:10:22.520
Well, first of all, Lou, when we go back home in our states, the people of this country that
00:10:26.820
actually pay the taxes and pay the bills, they want the budget cut. They want to see
00:10:31.300
see our deficit go down 34 trillion dollars and lose September the 18th. We were 33 trillion
00:10:36.980
and in December the 28th, we went to 34 trillion. That's three months. We are out of control up
00:10:43.780
here. And, you know, they come up with this top line of one point, whatever it is, six or
00:10:47.920
seven trillion dollars. And it says, oh, we've got that's a six billion dollar cut.
00:10:53.700
Wait a minute. That's a drop in the bucket. We better start understanding we cannot continue
00:10:59.600
to spend like this. Evidently, they don't want to shut the government down. It's going
00:11:05.460
to take that. I'm telling you, it's going to take shutting the government down to get people's
00:11:08.760
attention up here. But I tell you, it's like they saw a ghost. If you bring up, shut the
00:11:16.280
government down. And again, we went over, Lou, three, four weeks ago, before we left for Christmas,
00:11:22.760
we went over for the first time 23 million federal employees. Think about that. 23 million. It's
00:11:29.940
never been that high and it's growing every day. We have lost our minds. Yeah. And by the way,
00:11:36.500
President Biden just gave them all a big raise. Well, most Americans are suffering right now
00:11:42.620
under inflation and also a slowing economy. Let's turn to the Defense Department
00:11:50.220
that undergoing a review, quote unquote, over Lloyd Austin's disappearance,
00:11:57.400
his hospitalization, telling no one what he including the president. It's just the most
00:12:04.440
astounding conduct by any Secretary of Defense I've ever heard of. Your reaction?
00:12:12.600
Lou, the big thing about the White House and their organization, it's kind of like being a head
00:12:17.380
coach. You've got assistance. Or if you're a CEO of a big business, you've got people that work for
00:12:21.980
you. The decency is if you have one of your top subordinates that has a problem, health problem or
00:12:27.940
whatever, you know, you call your boss. And everybody up here knows that Joe Biden's out to lunch most of
00:12:35.640
the time. And I think this is a huge slap in the face to the White House and the President of the United
00:12:40.540
States for him not to call. Now, he probably had to call somebody. But the thing everybody
00:12:45.400
shouldn't understand is he's got hundreds of people that work for him. And I'm talking about
00:12:49.520
the Secretary of Defense. You know, somebody should have made a call to the White House and say,
00:12:54.000
hey, by the way, Secretary of Defense is down. He's in ICU. But there was no call. I mean,
00:12:58.700
no communication. Communication is the number one thing that drives what goes on in an organization
00:13:04.180
like the White House, the government or anything that goes on. So again, everybody asked me,
00:13:10.320
should he be fired? Hey, that's not my job. That job, the President of the United States. And if the
00:13:14.480
people have no confidence in Joe Biden, which I'm telling you, most people don't. I don't care if
00:13:18.800
you're Republican or Democrat. You know, he's the one that needs to go. And so hopefully in 10 months
00:13:24.500
that happens. You know, Senator, as you're talking, I'm thinking here we are with a president,
00:13:31.140
as you referred to out, excuse me, out to lunch. He is he's mentally impaired. He is not a healthy
00:13:38.640
man. He is not fit to be in the job. And I think everyone understands that with his cognitive
00:13:44.640
impairment, with his corruption, with his he is a compromised president. He is nothing more than a
00:13:52.800
puppet. And people, I think, truly understand that now. Then you have Lloyd Austin, who doesn't even
00:13:59.300
understand his own military chain of command or the national authority chain of command. There are
00:14:05.980
two people who have that responsibility. That's the President of the United States. And that is the
00:14:11.320
Secretary of Defense. And he just goes for, you know, I'm sure it was not a pleasant walk, but a walk to a
00:14:16.880
hospital and is in ICU and nobody knows about it. This is just, to me, it's just absolutely nuts. But it
00:14:25.900
happens in every department. He has people who have no qualification, no energy and no work ethic and
00:14:31.500
actually have no plan to achieve anything. I think we may consider many of those secretaries of these
00:14:37.340
departments. They're sort of heroes because they are not doing what damage they certainly could. But this is
00:14:45.720
this is a pretend government, a pretend administration and a pretend president, it seems to me, Senator.
00:14:51.840
Well, Lou, we've talked about this before. This is the most dangerous time in year in my lifetime.
00:14:59.440
We're on the verge of three wars, which could just catapult into something that we would be it would
00:15:05.920
be devastating, not just our country, but all countries. And the guy that it pulls the strings
00:15:12.400
for our military, 1.5 million, which I think is we've got some good military people, but I think
00:15:19.600
they've created a situation where probably the weakest that we've been, somebody has got to be
00:15:25.360
in charge. And as you said, all of his people that work for him, the Secretary of Transportation is a
00:15:31.760
disaster. The Secretary of Homeland Security is a disaster. You could just go on and on. But the
00:15:38.800
country's kind of running on autopilot right now. And we've got a constitution that we go by. The
00:15:46.560
problem is they don't go by the Constitution. They break it every day and we can't afford to continue
00:15:52.320
to do that. So November can't get here soon enough. I'm hoping that a lot of the Democrats even see
00:15:58.560
this. The guy and the people that are running this country right now are running it straight into the
00:16:03.440
ground, changing it to a fascist Marxist country with all kind of ideas that the American people
00:16:09.600
don't deserve, the American taxpayer don't deserve. We have got to turn this ship around in the right
00:16:14.720
direction. Senator Tommy Tuberville, God bless you and thanks so much. Thank you, Luke. Senator Tommy
00:16:20.800
Tuberville, thanks so much for being with us. We'll talk with you soon. And coming up next here on the
00:16:25.200
Great America Sunday Show, former CIA analyst John Gentry, the author of the important book,
00:16:32.640
Neutering the CIA. We'll take up the intelligence agencies meddling in politics and elections
00:16:38.880
and how we can do something about it in the 2024 election. Stay with us. We'll be right back.
00:16:51.040
Thanks for staying with us here on the Great America Sunday Show.
00:16:54.720
Joining us today, John Gentry. John, thanks for being with us here on the Great America Show. I want to
00:17:00.080
compliment you on your book entitled Neutering the CIA, Why U.S. Intelligence vs. Trump Has Long-Term
00:17:08.480
Consequences. Well, Neutering the CIA is the title. We recommend it to everybody highly. And John, I have
00:17:15.200
to say first and foremost, thanks for doing the book. The American people are desperately in need
00:17:21.040
of all of the information that we can get about the intelligence community and the disinformation
00:17:27.040
they're ginning up and their relationship to our government and the political system. Obama's
00:17:32.960
plan, as you point out, to fundamentally transform America seems to lie at the very foundation of what
00:17:40.240
has become the weaponization of the intelligence community, and particularly the CIA. Is that a
00:17:46.560
correct statement? I think it's a major part of it. Not the only part, to be sure. There were some
00:17:52.960
evolutionary changes occurring. Young people were coming into the IC, the intelligence community,
00:18:00.800
in the post-9-11 period. But President Obama took a big step in pushing the hiring of diverse people. He
00:18:16.240
created in 2011 an executive order which created within the federal government agencies, including
00:18:24.720
in the IC, diversity offices. And he named senior officials within the intelligence community,
00:18:33.120
particularly James Clapper as the director of national intelligence, and John Brennan,
00:18:37.600
the director of the CIA, who pushed his agenda quite a bit further. And John Brennan, I believe, is the primary
00:18:49.200
person responsible, shall we say, for the politicization that we've seen in recent years in the CIA. He
00:18:57.840
pushed the president's agenda considerably and then went farther. And importantly, and we know this from his own
00:19:06.480
words, he encouraged his people, CIA people, to be politically active. And we know that there was an upsurge in leaks
00:19:18.880
after Donald Trump became a serious presidential contender and then president. And we know, too, that there
00:19:27.840
were a number of people who were out of government, former intelligence people or formers as we know them. And the
00:19:35.120
formers also were active. And some of them said in no uncertain terms that they were
00:19:42.320
acting this way because of advice and encouragement that they got from John Brennan.
00:19:48.080
When we talk about the intelligence community, as you point out in your book,
00:19:52.000
those formers take up a big space that most of people, most people, I think, would not even
00:19:58.240
consider to be in the IC. But they obviously have great influence and roles to play. And you pointed
00:20:07.120
out that almost for the very first year that Obama was in office, he started this DEI. It was called
00:20:14.800
that then diversity, equity, inclusion. For example, we're seeing a manifestation of the disaster that's
00:20:23.680
awaiting, I think, much of corporate America right now in the Harvard conflict and controversy over
00:20:30.720
their president, who was first accused of being a bigot and the secondly, a plagiarist. And now the DEI
00:20:39.280
thing has exploded in academia. But it hasn't done so in government. It still is being pushed as hard
00:20:48.080
today, if not harder than it was 10 years ago, isn't it? Oh, I think it's being pushed much harder
00:20:56.080
now. So Obama started it very clearly. He set up the diversity offices within the federal government
00:21:02.880
as a whole, which became, in essence, the ideological as well as the human resources
00:21:10.160
enforcement group within these organizations. The Trump administration basically ignored this issue.
00:21:17.200
They did essentially nothing to reverse it. And when Joe Biden became president, he brought back
00:21:26.400
the Obama policies and then pushed them considerably further. So my sources are telling me that the kinds
00:21:33.520
of things that I was seeing at CIA in the second Obama term and during the Trump years is now becoming
00:21:41.520
more common in agencies around the government, including in the uniform military, which is unprecedented,
00:21:50.640
unprecedented and and I think disastrous for the military. I don't even want to contemplate
00:21:58.400
where that where that leads in terms of both the the military order, morale staffing and the success of recruiting,
00:22:08.800
of course, which has become the failure of recruiting right now. People just don't want to join a woke
00:22:14.320
organization. They want to join the United States military. And that seems to be just a shadow of
00:22:21.200
an afterthought of what it once was. But staying with the CIA here for some time, John Brennan, as you mentioned,
00:22:31.120
the primary, if you will, the protagonist really within the the IC itself, he was motivated not simply by
00:22:41.120
Obama's executive order, as you point out. He was already well on his way to driving that program in the CIA
00:22:50.960
and now is colluding, if I may use that expression, with 50 others in by 2020, 50 others in signing a letter
00:23:04.240
lying through their teeth that it was Russian disinformation. When one man, not generally considered
00:23:10.720
to be part of the IC, the Attorney General Bill Barr knew full well he was lying, even as he was debating
00:23:18.880
Donald Trump in the final debate of 2020 about the validity of both the Hunter Biden laptop,
00:23:28.240
but also the the ridiculous assertion that Trump was colluding with the Russians, which they knew very
00:23:36.320
well he was not. Right. Well, the collusion, the Russian collusion issue was was in the 2016-17 period.
00:23:46.880
And as you know, special special counsel Robert Robert Mueller pretty much put that put that to bed.
00:23:55.520
But you raise an important issue in the what I call a laptop 51 letter. Right. But in this case,
00:24:03.360
you you had a situation. I think we know now courtesy some some House hearings in March of 2023. Here,
00:24:11.920
you had a situation in which the the Hunter Biden laptop was was left, was looked at,
00:24:21.360
was seen to contain information that was at least prospectively very damaging to the Biden family.
00:24:29.760
The the FBI apparently looked at it, thought it was real, but didn't say anything.
00:24:35.840
The campaign, the campaign, the Biden campaign did know that this was this was a prospective problem.
00:24:43.440
And they encouraged then a couple of the formers, Michael Morrell, former deputy director at CIA,
00:24:51.760
and Mark Palomaropoulos, a senior retired operations officer. They they were then asked to help.
00:24:59.200
And the way they helped was to write a short letter that that would be an open letter. The open letter form
00:25:08.080
format was something that was used repeatedly during the Trump years. Letters would be signed.
00:25:14.960
There would be a specific message associated with them. Usually they were published by Politico,
00:25:20.480
the organization here in the in the Washington area. Well, in this case, the the the effort was to make
00:25:29.360
the letter, excuse me, make make the the laptop story, which is initially reported in the Washington,
00:25:37.920
excuse me, in the New York Post, make it look like it was Russian disinformation.
00:25:45.120
And and thereby appear to be a non a non issue. As you know, October surprises are things that
00:25:52.640
presidential candidates do not like. Now, was this was this really a Russian disinformation operation?
00:26:03.040
My understanding from one of the people who received a solicitation to sign this letter
00:26:09.280
told me that the original solicitation was not use your good intelligence judgment to make to make an
00:26:17.360
assessment of this situation. Instead, the message was, please sign the letter because we need we need to.
00:26:25.040
We want to help Joe Biden. So it was from the very beginning, at least in this one case,
00:26:31.600
it was it was a politically motivated use of intelligence expertise
00:26:37.360
for blatant political purposes. Yeah. And Mike Morrell, former acting director of the CIA,
00:26:46.160
a deputy director as well, being very plain spoken and direct about it with those
00:26:54.000
the signees that he solicited, saying it is specifically for the purpose of helping Joe
00:27:00.000
Biden win the presidency of the United States. In this one case, anyway, I have information from
00:27:07.200
one source only. But it was according to this source, it was very clear.
00:27:11.520
In this instance, we've got Mike Morrell in his own words. And that to me is a disgrace. And no one
00:27:20.240
has held him to account for it to this point. We are talking with John Gentry. He is the author
00:27:27.680
of the very important book, Neutering the CIA. We're going to be talking with him
00:27:32.960
next about what happens now. And we'll be right back after these quick words. Stay with us.
00:27:45.680
We're back now. We're talking with John Gentry. He is the author of what I consider to be a very
00:27:51.280
important book, Neutering the CIA. John, 12 years, an analyst with the CIA. He also spent four years
00:28:02.240
at the Intelligence University and is a thoughtful and knowledgeable
00:28:09.120
and great American. We thank you again for being with us, John. I want to turn to
00:28:15.040
the CIA today as a result of all that has preceded over the previous, well, almost decade and a half.
00:28:24.240
Suddenly, the CIA has quotas. It has demographic
00:28:27.760
quotas and percentages that it has to meet in its makeup. I was stunned reading your book to find
00:28:35.680
that more than half of the CIA employees are women, which is an extraordinary number,
00:28:43.680
that there is an insistence upon racial quotas within the CIA, the DEI. That is the case in,
00:28:51.600
by the way, in human resources departments throughout corporate America now in all parts of the federal
00:28:56.720
government. I noticed that there was no reference to how many conservatives and how many liberals they
00:29:03.440
want to have on what quotas and what balance they want so that we look more like America, as you quote
00:29:09.520
President Obama having said. Well, looking like America means you hire and promote more people
00:29:16.720
and who are in the coalition of people who are favored. And what that means effectively at this point is
00:29:27.520
people who are not male, Caucasian, heterosexual and healthy.
00:29:32.400
Yeah. Why would we not want some representation of what is the clear majority of the nation?
00:29:38.000
I it's it's a breath. And I'm being facetious as I say this because it is so ludicrous on its face,
00:29:45.760
but it is gospel to these true believers on the left. These these neo-Marxists who make up the leadership
00:29:55.120
of the Democrat Party. Well, the the assumption, the assertion is that European American men are oppressors,
00:30:04.960
again, largely from a from a Marxian perspective, as you say. And so your your your diversity policy
00:30:12.320
is to help redress this oppressive evil. So you're not interested in in hiring more people who are who
00:30:20.800
are Caucasian men and certainly not conservative. And and here we are in 2024 with the most important,
00:30:29.840
I believe. And I said the same thing in 2020. So now it's just more important. I think existential now
00:30:37.520
that this election be fair, it be free and free of interference, certainly from the very intelligence
00:30:46.720
community that has no business doing anything in domestic politics, as you point out time and time
00:30:51.840
again, that it's honored in in violation constantly. The CIA seems to be principally a one of the two or three
00:31:03.920
largest sources of disinformation campaigns against the American people. It is that serious. How do we roll it back?
00:31:12.720
Well, I think I think you need you need some senior leadership here. And again, Mr. Trump did not do
00:31:21.200
this in in in in 2017 to 21. So my personal hope is whoever is the next president will will address this.
00:31:30.160
But a key point here is that it really is not formally the CIA that is doing this. So we had a long history.
00:31:38.720
I won't even begin to get into it. But there were there were there were efforts in the 1960s and 70s to
00:31:46.320
to have formal programs run by the director and so on that went after anti-war activists in the in the Vietnam War
00:31:54.640
period that that that activity was discovered. It was generally widely considered to be inappropriate.
00:32:02.000
So so the agency proper has not done domestic operations of this sort ever since. To my knowledge,
00:32:10.160
it is, in fact, against the law and it's against the culture. But we have two major groups of people
00:32:16.960
who are involved in this, who are active. Again, the former's we've mentioned several of them here
00:32:23.200
who are now who use their intelligence credentials, bolstered, shined up and so on by the by the
00:32:35.920
the liberal media who who are using the skills that CIA officers developed over the years in the
00:32:45.920
information operations area to to to to generate alterations in perceptions. And the second the second
00:32:54.320
group is the form is the current employees who are leaking. So they're leaking purposefully incorrect
00:33:02.880
information at times. They're doing what what's known as disinformation. And the effort here is to is to
00:33:11.760
in in in our contemporary case, damage political enemies, including Donald Trump.
00:33:17.920
And this is a bureaucracy. This is we're talking about the intelligence community sworn
00:33:24.480
taking an oath to defend the Constitution, trampling it, actually trying to subvert a president
00:33:30.960
to overthrow a president in the case of Donald Trump. We see an extension of that now simply because
00:33:36.560
on the basis of their their sense of self righteousness that they know better than does
00:33:43.520
anyone else, mere mortals like the American people at the polls making a decision. They prefer to make
00:33:50.960
those decisions. This is this has risen to the level of a fifth column, in my opinion, within the United
00:33:58.320
States, within our political system by groups of people who have no business interfering in domestic
00:34:03.680
politics in any way. Well, I would certainly certainly agree with you there. And in fact,
00:34:11.280
we have a number of the formers, right? The leakers are not talking this way to the public. They can't
00:34:17.440
do that. It's either against the law, depending on what they're saying, or against policies. But people
00:34:22.240
like John McLaughlin, for example, and any number of others, somewhat less articulately,
00:34:28.080
have made that made the point that politicization of intelligence, the injection of politics into
00:34:33.760
intelligence doing, even though they all recognize that this is bad, that there was such a such a horrid
00:34:40.560
situation developing in 2016, and then and then present for four years, that the intelligence people,
00:34:48.800
as good people needed to step forward and to warn the American people about the danger that was
00:34:58.480
that was confronting them. So the danger that they had manufactured, everything from the creation,
00:35:05.040
the Steele dossier, everything to the allegations of collusion, were all absolute fictions structured,
00:35:14.800
manufactured by the intelligence community itself, and its formers and assisters, enablers.
00:35:23.200
Well, I think a Steele dossier, actually. So this was this was a set of small papers put together into
00:35:30.480
a quote dossier done by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer. He was actually hired by
00:35:37.360
the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016 to do to do as part of the opera opposition research effort.
00:35:45.040
Yeah, that what what many of the and so this is a legitimate issue to look at.
00:35:51.440

00:35:57.200
