I want to thank you, Mr. President, for entrusting me with the critical role of Director of National Intelligence, especially now. I recognize the American people's diminished trust in the intelligence community due to its weaponization and politicization. I'm committed to refocusing our intelligence community, empowering the dedicated patriots who serve, and prioritizing the safety, security, and freedom of all Americans. This aligns with the mandate you received from the American people. Also, your message about aspiring to be remembered as a peacemaker deeply resonates with service members, veterans, and medal of honor recipients. We appreciate your understanding of the cost of sacrifice and your commitment to making war the last resort. Thank you for your leadership.

We now know without a doubt that Obama, Brennan, Clapper, and Comey were attacking our democracy, all while accusing us of attacking democracy. We know these things because director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has released hundreds of documents revealing that the mindful objections of senior intel officials were ignored. Foreign spies were given a US government endorsed platform to smear Trump with abject lies. They used these lies to illegally spy on the Trump campaign. Former CIA director John Brennan lied to congress about his role. The cover up effort was real. Now that director Gabbard has revealed the truth, where will it all lead?

Just 14 days before Donald Trump took the oath of office, the United States intelligence community released its official assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The document concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered an intelligence and influence campaign to help Donald Trump win and to damage Hillary Clinton. The assessment carried the full weight of the CIA, the FBI, and the NSA, and the CIA presented it to the American public as a definitive judgment by the nation’s intelligence professionals. The assessment was described as unusually political and top-directed rather than ordinary. Outgoing President Barack Obama had personally ordered its creation on December 9, 2016, after Trump’s victory was already secured. The product was said to have been produced by a small team of analysts under tight deadlines and unusual political pressure, framed as a high-profile assessment directed from the top. The transcript claims that what the public did not know—and what was deliberately kept from view—was that Obama had been briefed five months earlier in August 2016 on intelligence that the Hillary Clinton campaign itself was behind an effort to tie Donald Trump to Russia. The transcript states that CIA Director John Brennan entered the White House and informed President Obama that foreign intelligence services, including the Russians, the Dutch, and others, were aware because they intercepted “a plan approved at the highest levels of the Clinton campaign” to manufacture a scandal linking Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin. It says this was a political dirty trick designed to distract from Clinton’s own vulnerabilities. According to the transcript, instead of investigating that intelligence, the Obama administration used presidential authority and the credibility of the intelligence community to “launder” information supporting that narrative into official government doctrine. The Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) is described as becoming the foundation for the claim that Trump’s election was illegitimate and tainted by a foreign power. The transcript links that ICA to the justification for appointing a special counsel and to a congressional investigation, characterizing the resulting firestorm as consuming the first years of the Trump presidency. The transcript further asserts that this was not about protecting America or American democracy, but about using the most trusted institutions in the US government to delegitimize an election that the political establishment refused to accept. It claims that the authority of the president and the reputation of the intelligence community were “weaponized” to sell a deception and undermine a duly elected president before he entered the White House. The transcript ends by stating that, in a series, the speaker will examine the ICA in detail: the documents, briefings, suppressed dissents, and a timeline showing how the operation was constructed, describing this as essential to understanding how intelligence was turned into a political weapon and why it must never happen again.

There is irrefutable evidence that detail how president Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false. They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the twenty sixteen election to help president Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true. It wasn't. The report that we released today shows in great detail how they carried this out. They manufactured findings from shoddy sources. They suppressed evidence and credible intelligence that disproved their false claims. They disobeyed traditional tradecraft intelligence community standards and withheld the truth from the American people. In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people who elected Donald Trump in that election in November 2016.

The speaker argues that to understand how the American government actually works at the highest levels, you must know that Richard Nixon was historically the most popular president, elected with a massive margin in 1972, yet he was forced to resign and was replaced by Gerald Ford, an unelected president. The speaker asserts this demonstrates that the federal agencies undermine the American system, a point Nixon allegedly warned about and was right about. Key events and connections highlighted include: - Nixon’s meeting with CIA director Richard Helms on June 23, 1972, during which Nixon allegedly implied knowledge of who killed John F. Kennedy and suggested CIA involvement in Kennedy’s assassination; Helms reportedly remained silent. - Four days earlier, the Washington Post published the first Watergate break-in story; the speaker notes that four of the five burglars worked for the CIA and that Bob Woodward, the reporter, had a background in the classified realm and worked with intelligence agencies; Woodward’s main source was Mark Felt, deputy director of the FBI, who allegedly ran COINTELPRO to discredit Nixon and other political targets. - The FBI’s COINTELPRO program is cited as a mechanism used to take down Nixon’s vice president, Spiro Agnew, who was indicted for tax evasion in 1973 and forced to resign; Ford, a Warren Commission member, replaced Agnew, with the claim that Ford’s qualifications were tied to his involvement with the Commission’s conclusion that the CIA bore no responsibility for Kennedy’s assassination. - The speaker alleges that Nixon was strong-armed into accepting Gerald Ford as president by Democrats in Congress, with the claim that Ford’s rise demonstrated a systemic pattern in which the presidency could be controlled by federal agencies and political elites rather than by elected representatives or voters. The narrative then shifts to the Trump era, stating that Michael Flynn—an Army intelligence veteran who had led the Defense Intelligence Agency—was targeted by the FBI shortly after Trump’s inauguration, lured into a meeting without legal counsel, and pressured to resign based on fabricated crimes; this is presented as evidence of how the system operates against national-security-minded figures who seek to push back. The speaker contrasts this with Joe Biden, claiming he was similarly harmed by the justice system and portraying Biden as deserving neither sympathy nor special treatment, while contending that the broader electorate deserves a genuine democracy in which people who are not elected to lead do not run everything. The overarching claim is that “democracy becomes a joke” when unelected actors wield real power.

They accuse us of what they're doing. These intelligence officials, the same ones who misled America, are worried about a second Trump term? They helped bury the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election. That laptop could have changed history. Now they claim Trump will weaponize the spy services. If Trump wins, I want them investigated for election interference. Joe Biden should be the first target. We need to expose them to the same rules they impose on us. They stole the election, and we can't just move on. They hid the laptop information. The deep state is real—media members, intelligence community members, both active and retired, and government bureaucrats. The deep state sabotaged the Trump administration before, and they're still here.

The speaker states the American people deserve truth, accountability, and justice. Records released by ODNI, Senator Grassley, and the House Intelligence Committee confirm the same report. According to the speaker, the Obama administration grossly politicized and manipulated intelligence to delegitimize President Trump before his inauguration, ultimately usurping the will of the American people.

He laundered Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign talking points through the American intelligence services. That's a violation of the people's trust. That's a violation of what our intelligence services should be doing, and I absolutely think they broke the law. You're gonna see a lot of people get indicted for that. Here's the thing that should really bother the American people. What do you want our intelligence community to be doing? I want them to be catching bad guys. I want them to be making sure that terrorists aren't gonna kill innocent American civilians. I don't want them laundering Hillary Clinton's campaign talking points into the American media and giving them this air of legitimacy. It is sick and it's disgusting. It hurt the intelligence community. It hurt the American people, and it hurt the first Trump administration. We've gotta have consequences for it.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard unveiled new evidence alleging that former president Barack Obama and top aides in the Obama administration conspired to subvert President Trump’s February victory and undermine the democratic will of the American people. The claim is that Obama, publicly pretending to engage in a peaceful transfer of power, privately went to great lengths to sow discord and sabotage his successor. The newly released evidence from the DNI supposedly confirms that the Obama administration manufactured and politicized intelligence used to justify baseless smears against President Trump in an effort to delegitimize his victory before he took the oath of office. The speaker asserts that President Trump never had anything to do with Russia and that the Russia collusion hoax was a massive fraud perpetuated on the American people from the beginning, with Obama and others—including former CIA director John Brennan, former DNI James Clapper, former FBI director James Comey, former deputy director Andrew McCabe, and many others—knowing the truth. The DNI Gavrid's report is said to corroborate what was already known: there was no collusion or corruption, except on the part of Barack Obama and the weaponized intelligence agencies at the time. The Russia hoax is described as a blatant lie, manufactured by Democrat political operatives, signed off on by Obama, and leaked to the news media to launch a witch hunt against President Trump in his first administration. Allies of the president, including his son Donald Trump Jr., were smeared as Russian assets, with some purportedly having their lives destroyed due to the lie. It is claimed that the president’s first two years in office were haunted by this fake distraction, consuming resources, time, and political capital needed to debunk the lies. Nearly ten years later, the declassification of documents by director Gabbard is said to reveal the truth, vindicating President Trump, his family, and their allies who were smeared with defamatory lies. President Trump is asserted to have been right from the beginning, with justice now appearing to be served. New, damning evidence is described as implicating those who tried to sabotage a duly elected president and caused grave material harm to the republic. The claim is credited to CIA director Ratcliffe and committee chairman Rick Crawford, referencing a newly declassified 2020 report prepared by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, which the DNI has declassified, stating that the intel community did not have any direct information that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to help elect President Trump in 2016. It is asserted that Russia was actively preparing for a Hillary Clinton victory, but, at Obama’s unusual direction, the intel community published implausible intelligence suggesting otherwise to sabotage the incoming president. The transcript condemns reporters at legacy outlets, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, claiming they were awarded Pulitzer Prizes for perpetuating the hoax. It calls for those awards to be stripped from the journalists who propagated political disinformation in service of the Democratic party and those in the intelligence community who handed out out-of-context and fake intelligence to push a false political narrative.

I'm honored to be confirmed and thank President Trump and Attorney General Bondi for their support. The FBI has a storied legacy, and the American people deserve an FBI that is transparent, accountable, and committed to justice. The politicization of our justice system has eroded public trust, but that ends today. My mission as director is clear: Let good cops be cops and rebuild trust in the FBI. Working alongside the dedicated men and women of the bureau and our partners, we will rebuild an FBI the American people can be proud of. To those who seek to harm Americans, consider this your warning: We will hunt you down in every corner of this planet. Mission first, America always. Let's get to work.

Chuck Schumer said the intelligence community has many ways to retaliate against those who challenge it. Faulty intelligence has led to failures, such as the Iraq invasion, which caused many deaths, destabilization, and the rise of ISIS. The FBI and intelligence agencies were used to undermine Donald Trump's presidency, falsely portraying him as a puppet of Putin. FISA was used illegally to obtain a warrant on Carter Page using a Clinton-funded dossier. Tony Blinken prompted 51 intelligence officials to dismiss Hunter Biden's laptop as disinformation to help Biden win the election. James Clapper lied to a committee about mass collection of Americans' records. The CIA, under John Brennan, spied on Congress. The FBI tried to surveil Catholics attending traditional Latin mass. The speaker was placed on a secret domestic terror watch list after criticizing Kamala Harris. The speaker believes Trump's reelection is a mandate to end the weaponization of the intelligence community and restore trust. If confirmed as DNI, the speaker will focus on the essential mission of ensuring the safety, security, and freedom of the American people by delivering unbiased intelligence.

I am grateful to President Trump for nominating me as the director of national intelligence during a time of low trust in the intelligence community. For too long, flawed intelligence has harmed national security. The FBI and intelligence agencies were politicized to undermine Trump's presidency, including the illegal use of FISA to spy on his campaign. Additionally, former DNI James Clapper and CIA Director John Brennan faced no accountability for their actions. If confirmed, I aim to restore trust in the intelligence community.

"You wanna talk about an insurrection? This is a insurrection against the American people that was thwarted at multiple times." "He looked me in the eye and said, the truth of the matter is we took the playbook for psychological operations and information warfare that we would use against our enemies, and we turned it against the American people to undo the twenty sixteen election and to make sure they didn't elect Donald Trump in 2020." "Now that is a senior intelligence officer with more than thirty years of experience, a patriot who served in some of the most dangerous parts of the world, and he understood that the tactics of making something fake look real were ripped right up our out of our intelligence communities." "Our intelligence agencies not only harm Donald Trump, they were harming the American public, the national security interest of the American public."

"For ODNI, number one, our focus is and must always be making sure that our intelligence community is is focused on our mission, keeping the American people safe, secure, and free." "Secondly, mister president, you have charged me with the mission of finding the truth and telling the truth to the American people." "And we've exposed some of the worst examples of the weaponization of intelligence in the last several weeks." "Transparency telling the truth is what will drive true accountability for the American people who deserve nothing less." "I've gone through a reorganization for ODNI that we've announced in the last week." "We've cut nearly half of redundant unnecessary functions within ODNI, saving taxpayers over $700,000,000 a year." "Great job." "Thank you." "We look forward to hearing it."

"There is irrefutable evidence that detail how president Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false." "They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the twenty sixteen election to help president Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true." "There were four key elements from the assessment that were repeated over and over again and form the basis of the Russia hoax and the Robert Mueller witch hunt." "One, that Vladimir Putin wanted Donald Trump to win. Two, Putin took action to help Trump win. Three, the Russians had blackmail on Trump." "That the Russians tried colluding with the Trump campaign." "Senior CIA officials repeatedly refused to traffic in these allegations, but they were repeatedly overruled by CIA director Brennan and FBI director Comey." "60% of Democrats believed the Russians hacked our voting machines to help Trump win the White House." "Barack Obama did exactly what Putin wanted, undermined Americans' faith in free and fair elections and caused chaos in our country." "It's time for people to pay the price."

James Clapper was allegedly on the team that manufactured the intelligence assessment about Iraq's WMDs that led to the Iraq war. According to Clapper's book, he and his team created something that was not there. Considering his actions then and in 2016 as Obama's director of national intelligence, Clapper allegedly has no problem politicizing, manufacturing, and weaponizing intelligence for a political outcome.

Speaker 0 says that over the last several weeks they declassified and released documents exposing that President Obama and leaders in the intelligence community knowingly manufactured a false intelligence document after the 2016 election. The document alleged that Russia aspired to help President Trump win the election with the aim of undermining his presidency and usurping the will and the voices of the American people who sent Trump to the White House.

"In some cases, they are very unwilling to come to express a view or a certain opinion on something." "This this gets to the real heart of the challenge here and the problems that we've seen is the politicization of intelligence to meet a certain objective or to influence a certain policy." "When you look at the so called intelligence that really was used to spur the Iraq regime change war." "And look at what that has cost our country in lives and treasure." "This goes all the way back to why this organization was founded." "So so, again, this is this is really what is at the heart of needs of what needs to be addressed within the intelligence community and why leadership matters so much."

There's been three great scandals in the twenty first century. First, the Russian collusion hoax prompted by Hillary Clinton and facilitated by the Obama administration on its way out that almost destroyed the Trump campaign, sabotaged his transition, and ate up twenty two months of his first two years. Second, the Biden FBI, and CIA, but especially the CIA and the intelligence agencies, got 51 people, former intelligence authorities, to lie to the American people on the eve of the second debate to affect the two thousand twenty election and claimed falsely that Donald Trump was lying about the laptop of Biden Hunter Biden, that it was fake, that it was a Russian production and Donald Trump then was colluding again with the Russians. That was a complete lie. It was Hunter's laptop, we know because the FBI had it in his possessions and unauthenticated. And finally, the great scandal that the Democratic Party and the obsequious media knew that Joe Biden was non compost mentees. He was not cognitively cognitively able to fulfill the office of presidents, the presidency, and they kept that from the American people until they could no longer keep it when he finally challenged Donald Trump to a debate and melted before our very eyes, sort of like the Wicked Witch and The Wizard of Oz. He melted into a nonentity.

We look at where we are now over the last several weeks. We've declassified and released documents that exposed how president Obama and leaders in the intelligence community knowingly manufactured a false intelligence document after the twenty sixteen election was done, after the American people said, no, we want Donald Trump to go and be our commander in chief, not Hillary Clinton. And this manufactured document alleged that Russia aspired to help president Trump win the election with the aim of undermining his presidency and usurping the will and the voices of the American people who sent Trump to the White House.

The discussion centers on how politicization of intelligence has manifested in different eras, comparing past and present administrations. Speaker 0 asks whether the politicized weapons claims about Iraq and the CIA’s statements in the 1990s can be compared to today’s politicization of intelligence under John Ratcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard as head of DNI, arguing it is much worse now because of the mediocrity of those in control of key agencies. Speaker 1 counters by recalling the 1980s, noting that there was significant politicization of the Soviet threat to justify Reagan’s defense buildup, and adds that this is why he testified against Robert Gates in 1991. He asserts that politicization is bad, and insists that the current situation is worse than in the past. Speaker 1 explains: “It’s Because I look at the people who are ahead of these groups. Come on. Let’s be serious.” He targets the leadership of the director of national intelligence, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the CIA, saying, “Have you ever seen a cabinet in The United States of such mediocrity, of such venality?” He emphasizes his background, stating, “I haven’t,” and that nothing compares to what is going on now, warning that “a lot of damage is being done to The United States and to the constitution of The United States and to the importance of separation of powers and the importance of rule of law and the importance of checks and balances. This is very serious stuff.” Speaker 0 attempts to steer toward historical figures like Robert Maxwell, but Speaker 1 dismisses that concern as off point, insisting he is making a point about Israel. The exchange then shifts to U.S. support for Israel, with Speaker 1 asserting that “Israel gets what it wants from The United States. It gets it from democratic presidents and from republican presidents.” He also criticizes Barack Obama for signing what he calls “that ten year $40,000,000,000 arms aid agreement,” arguing that Obama “never should have signed” it “because they treated Obama so shabbily in the first place.”

Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, released new evidence alleging that former President Barack Obama and top aides conspired to subvert President Trump’s February victory and undermine the democratic will of the American people. The speaker asserts that while Obama publicly appeared to support a peaceful transfer of power, privately he took steps to sow discord and sabotage Trump, including manufacturing and politicizing intelligence that was used to justify baseless smears against the new president. The claim is that Trump had no involvement with Russia and that the Russia collusion narrative was a massive fraud, known to Obama and others involved, including former CIA director John Brennan, former DNI James Clapper, former FBI director James Comey, former deputy director Andrew McCabe, and others. The speaker reiterates that DNI Gabbard’s report confirms there was no collusion or corruption by Trump, attributing any wrongdoing to Barack Obama and the “weaponized” intelligence agencies of the time. The Russia hoax is characterized as a blatant lie manufactured by Democrat political operatives, approved by Obama, and leaked to the media to launch a years-long witch hunt against Trump in his first administration. Allies of the president, including Donald Trump Jr., were smeared as Russian assets, with some personally harmed by the false narrative. The speaker notes that much of this occurred during Trump’s first two years in office, consuming vast resources, time, and political capital to debunk the allegations at the highest levels of government. According to the speaker, nearly a decade later, declassification of documents by DNI Gabbard, alongside contributions from CIA Director Ratcliffe and committee Chairman Rick Crawford, supports a newly declassified 2020 report from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. This report reportedly found the intel community did not have direct information that Vladimir Putin sought to help elect Trump in 2016; instead, Russia was allegedly preparing for a Hillary Clinton victory. The narrative claims that, at the time, Obama’s unusual stance led the intel community to publish implausible intelligence to sabotage the incoming president. The speaker asserts this constitutes one of the greatest political scandals in American history, noting that legacy media outlets such as the New York Times and the Washington Post were rewarded with Pulitzer Prizes for propagating political disinformation. The claim is made that those awards should be stripped from journalists who disseminated out-of-context and false intelligence to push a political narrative in service of the Democrats and associated intelligence actors.

James Clapper was allegedly on the team that manufactured the intelligence assessment about Iraq's WMDs that led to the Iraq war. According to the speaker, Clapper wrote in his book that he and his team created something that was not there. The speaker claims that Clapper's actions in 2016, as Obama's Director of National Intelligence, show that he has no problem politicizing, manufacturing, and weaponizing intelligence for a political outcome.

Speaker 0 says the issue is important to all Americans and not partisan, framing it as about “the integrity and the strength of our democratic republic.” They state that they have released and declassified “over 100 documents” describing what they say happened when powerful people in the country—President Obama and his senior national security cabinet—James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, Susan Rice, and others, “essentially” made an intentional decision to create a “manufactured politicized piece of intelligence” aimed at subverting the will of the American people after the November 2016 election, which Speaker 0 characterizes as a historic victory for President Trump over Hillary Clinton. Speaker 0 argues that the objective of Obama and his team was not to accept the election results and that the strategy became the basis for what Speaker 0 describes as a “years-long coup against President Trump.” Speaker 0 references consequences they attribute to this decision, including a “years-long Mueller investigation” costing taxpayers almost $40 million, “two congressional impeachments,” “endless smears and attacks” against President Trump and his family, and investigations that they say involved senior members of his team, including arrests and jailings. They also cite “heightened and increased tensions between the United States and Russia,” and describe additional ongoing consequences of “politicizing intelligence.” Speaker 0 concludes by saying their remarks are intended to highlight this alleged use of politicized intelligence to enact a “years long coup” and then notes, “Now, you reference this this president's daily brief documentary.”

"We look at where we are now over the last several weeks. We've declassified and released documents that exposed how president Obama and leaders in the intelligence community knowingly manufactured a false intelligence document after the twenty sixteen election was done, after the American people said, no, we want Donald Trump to go and be our commander in chief, not Hillary Clinton." "And this manufactured document alleged that Russia aspired to help president Trump win the election with the aim of undermining his presidency and usurping the will and the voices of the American people who sent Trump to the White House."
