She's criticized US intelligence and promoted Russian propaganda. Debbie Wasserman Schultz referred to her as likely a Russian asset. Given our military backgrounds, what are your thoughts on her? I believe she's compromised. Her support for a brutal dictator in Syria raises concerns. Russian media has labeled her a Russian asset, which is alarming. The US intelligence community has noted her troubling relationships with adversaries. My concern is that she wouldn't pass a background check.

Last week, Kash Patel was confirmed as FBI director, and now Dan Bongino, a right-wing conspiracy theorist, has been appointed as his number two. Bongino has zero experience at the FBI, which is unprecedented for a deputy director. This position has access to sensitive operations, including surveillance and collaboration with allied intelligence agencies. Bongino is known for pushing conspiracy theories, spreading COVID disinformation, and denying Russian interference. He's likely to focus on political payback rather than priorities like stopping fentanyl traffickers, murderers, and violent criminals. As Bongino himself said, "I don't want to move on."

Taxpayers, let’s discuss the infiltration of our government. The Biden administration has made intentional intelligence failures, leading to significant threats. Maher Patel, head of intelligence programs, is prioritizing efforts away from critical issues like the southern border and threats from Iran and China. He has ties to anti-Israel sentiments and previously worked for Samantha Power. Robert Malley, Biden’s envoy to Iran, recently had his security clearance suspended by the FBI, raising concerns about his connections. Arianne Tabatabay, who was installed by Malley at the Department of Defense, has communicated directly with Iranian officials. This situation demands investigation, especially regarding why Malley was suspended while Tabatabay remains in her position. The implications of these appointments are serious and warrant immediate attention.

Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 presidential election? Yes, President Biden's election was certified, and he was sworn in as president. It's concerning that those loyal to Trump struggle to answer this straightforward question. Why does she speak this way? It seems unnatural, as if she's reading from a script. It's puzzling how someone who struggles to articulate thoughts can be a United States senator. This raises questions about her qualifications and intelligence. It feels like the Senate is filled with individuals who may not be suited for their roles, highlighting a troubling trend in political leadership.

The transcript claims that Tulsi Gabbard “walked into the Oval Office” and personally handed President Trump her resignation letter after her husband, Abraham Williams, was “diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer.” It quotes her letter: she “must step away from public service to be by his side,” cannot “ask him to face this fight alone” while she continues in her demanding position, and her resignation is effective June 30. The transcript says President Trump praised her publicly afterward and that “that is what happened.” It then claims that “within hours” Reuters published that the White House “had fired Gabbard,” describing her departure as “a victory for the intelligence community,” and that “the Internet exploded” with that narrative. The transcript offers explanations including that deep state and British intelligence had been “gunning for her for over a year,” that “they could not bang her,” and that “they planted fake stories.” It alleges she was banned from Iran war deliberations, was planning to run for president in 2028, and was “scheming against the president.” It also claims she was surrounded with “fake people” such as Joe Kent to argue that Netanyahu and Israel ran Trump, describing it as an operation to “poison a relationship” with President Trump and “split the MAGA coalition” ahead of the midterms. The transcript further claims that “rogue elements of the CIA and the Senate Intelligence Committee” kept firing at her, citing Katherine Harwich as writing that the CIA tracked “every keystroke on the government computers” of Gabbard’s Directors’ Initiatives Group to disband or diminish the group’s impact. It states that the group continued producing declassifications “which will result in prosecutions,” and claims her work showed Russiagate was a coordinated hoax between Barack Obama and British intelligence. It says disclosures are before a grand jury in Florida and that she opposed “the deep state conspiracy” used to impeach President Trump in 2019 and “the election rigging of 2020.” The transcript also claims she was investigating “Havana syndrome” and “directed energy attacks” that agencies have spent four years on. It states her investigations would “see the light of day before she leaves office,” and argues that the intelligence community claimed victory while her husband begins cancer treatment. Finally, it proposes “a test” for any new DNI appointment under Biden, alleging CIA and MI6 were “completely integrated, fused operationally,” and asks whether that arrangement still operates, claiming the “war” would continue using the same methods used against Tulsi Gabbard.

Defending Russia's invasion of Ukraine and meeting with figures like Bashar al Assad demonstrates poor judgment. Such actions undermine trust among allies, impacting intelligence sharing. A notable instance was when Donald Trump met with the Russian ambassador and potentially shared sensitive intelligence from a foreign source. This behavior can lead foreign intelligence agencies to withhold critical information, ultimately making Americans less safe. If allies lack trust in U.S. leadership, it poses a significant problem for national security.

So, Kash Patel was tragically confirmed as FBI director, and now Dan Bongino, a right-wing conspiracy theorist with zero FBI experience, has been appointed as his number two. This is alarming because the deputy director position requires someone with extensive experience, character, and trust, especially given their access to sensitive operations and collaboration with allied intelligence agencies. Bongino is known for pushing conspiracy theories, like the big lie about the 2020 election, and spreading COVID disinformation. Instead of focusing on critical issues like fentanyl trafficking and violent crime, he's likely to prioritize political vendettas. As Bongino himself said, he doesn't want to move on, which makes him completely unsuited to serve the American people's priorities.

They prioritize endless work for ideological and financial reasons. A notable example is Tulsi Gabbard, who, despite her liberal views, was quickly promoted to vice chair of the DNC. However, when she questioned U.S. opposition to Assad, she became an enemy to the establishment. Hillary Clinton labeled her as "the favorite of the Russians," highlighting the harsh criticism she faced from fellow Democrats. The Democratic Party is influenced by the foreign policy establishment and the military-industrial complex. They emphasize the importance of NATO and military support for Ukraine, revealing their focus on war as a source of funding. This contrasts with Trump's opposition to such conflicts.

Tulsi Gabbard has met with controversial figures and violated State Department guidelines by secretly visiting Syria to meet with Assad, who has used chemical weapons against his own people. Many view her as a potential Russian asset. Given her position, this raises serious concerns about her access to sensitive intelligence information, which could pose a risk to national security. The implications of her appointment are seen as highly irresponsible.

Tulsi Gabbard's potential access to national security information raises concerns, especially given her perceived support from Russia. Her nomination is seen as particularly damaging, more so than Matt Gaetz's. Despite her claims of being anti-war, Gabbard aligns with pro-war figures, particularly regarding Syria. Ultimately, her nomination is viewed as a pro-war stance on a global scale, similar to Donald Trump's presidency.

It's an honor to be here today. I'm grateful to President Trump for nominating me to serve as the Director of National Intelligence at a time when trust in the intelligence community is at an all time low. For too long, faulty intelligence has led to costly failures, such as the invasion of Iraq. The American people elected Donald Trump as their president twice, yet the FBI and intelligence agencies were politicized to undermine his presidency and falsely portray him as a puppet of Putin. Title one of FISA was used illegally to spy on Carter Page. Tony Blinken was the impetus for the 51 former senior intelligence officials' letter dismissing Hunter Biden's laptop as disinformation to help Biden win the election. James Clapper lied to this committee in 2013, denying the existence of programs that facilitated the mass collection of Americans' phone and Internet records, yet was never held accountable. The CIA spied on congress and the FBI abused its power to surveil Catholics who attend traditional Latin mass. Just twenty four hours after I criticized Kamala Harris, I was placed on a secret domestic terror watch list called Quiet Skies. This must end. President Trump's reelection is a clear mandate to break this cycle of failure and begin to restore trust in those who've been charged with securing our nation.

I want to emphasize that foreign policy experience does not equate to wisdom. I was the first to advocate for a reasonable peace deal in Ukraine, while many neocons are now starting to agree. However, Nikki Haley and Joe Biden still support what I believe is a pointless war in Ukraine. It's concerning that neither of them can even name three provinces in Eastern Ukraine that they want to send our troops to fight for. This highlights the lack of understanding they have while advocating for military action. Don't be fooled by the idea that someone with a brief stint at the UN and a high salary has real foreign policy experience. It takes an outsider to truly see the situation.

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.

The speaker claims intelligence failures by the Biden administration have led to "world war 4." According to the speaker, Maher Batar, head of intel programs in the National Security Council, prioritizes intelligence collection and once worked for Adam Schiff. A photo allegedly shows Batar wearing Palestinian garb and supporting "Jewish apartheid." Robert Malley, Biden's envoy to Iran, had his security clearance suspended by the FBI. Ariane Tabatabai, allegedly installed in the Department of Defense by Malley, is accused of emailing the Iranian foreign minister in 2014 to request permission to take a trip on behalf of the U.S. government. She is now assistant chief of staff to the Department of Defense's special operations office. The speaker questions why Malley's clearance was suspended and why Tabatabai is still employed by the DOD.

Moving forward with Kash Patel's nomination as FBI director will likely provoke significant backlash. Many believe he seeks to disrupt the institution, but he is profoundly unqualified for the role. His experience in federal government is limited to three years as a line attorney at DOJ headquarters, with no leadership or management experience. The idea of him leading an organization of 37,000 people, with operations across 400 locations and sensitive global roles, is unrealistic. It’s hard to imagine him commanding respect in a room full of police chiefs and sheriffs.

She is unqualified to be DNI, with positions that are far outside mainstream American politics. Her visit to Assad in Syria, who was aligned with Russia and Iran, was justified by her claim that Syria wasn't a direct threat to the U.S., which is incorrect. The alliance between Syria, Iran, and Hezbollah poses direct threats to Americans in the region and to key allies like Israel and Jordan. It will be interesting to see what information may emerge from the Syrian government if the rebels capture Damascus, particularly regarding Americans involved.

Last week, Kash Patel was confirmed as FBI director, and now Dan Bongino, a right-wing conspiracy theorist and podcaster, has been appointed as his number two. Bongino has zero experience at the FBI, and this deputy director position has always been held by a long-term veteran of the bureau for over a hundred years, because this person has access to sensitive operations, including surveillance and working with our allies' intelligence agencies. Bongino is known for pushing conspiracy theories, like the big lie that Donald Trump won the 2020 election. He's also a COVID disinformation super spreader and a Russia denier. Instead of focusing on fentanyl traffickers, murderers, and violent criminals, he's going to be focused on the political vendettas of Donald Trump, because he doesn't want to move on.

Hillary Clinton initiated the narrative branding Tulsi Gabbard as a Russian asset due to Gabbard's rising status in the Democratic Party. Gabbard, a combat veteran and articulate leader, began aligning with Bernie Sanders' views, which angered Clinton. This led to a rift, especially after Gabbard exposed the DNC's unfair treatment of Sanders during the 2016 nomination process. Clinton's campaign had previously fabricated claims about Donald Trump being a Russian asset, and Gabbard became another target. Gabbard's independent views, including her stance on the Ukraine-Russia conflict, were used against her, and her meeting with Bashar al-Assad further fueled the accusations. The discussion emphasizes that diplomacy often requires engaging with adversaries, not just allies.

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.”

Biden's resume is concerning, with $83 billion spent in Afghanistan and the Hunter Biden laptop controversy. Additionally, Russia's recent deployment of nuclear weapons on their ships is alarming. This has caused the three enemies of America to unite. The Democrats need to find a solution to replace Biden and improve diplomacy.

Moving forward with Kash Patel's nomination as FBI director will likely provoke significant backlash. His qualifications for the role are questionable; he lacks the experience necessary to lead an organization of this magnitude. Patel has only three years of experience as a line attorney at the DOJ and has never managed or led any organization. The notion of him representing the FBI, which oversees 37,000 employees and works closely with the intelligence community, is unrealistic. It's hard to imagine him commanding respect in a room full of police chiefs and sheriffs.

According to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, multiple intelligence community assessments released before the November 2016 election concluded that Russia lacked both the intent and capability to impact the election's outcome. Gabbard has been making public statements and releasing documents to support her allegation that President Obama is guilty of treason and conspired with Hillary Clinton regarding the intelligence community's assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

I'm confirming that Tulsi Gabbard has appointed someone with a history of being untrustworthy, potentially aiding adversarial nations. In Connecticut, the leading Democratic candidate in a major US Senate race is facing scrutiny after being caught misrepresenting his military service. Richard Blumenthal, the state attorney general, previously stated he served in Vietnam, but reports indicate he received five wartime deferments and served stateside in the Marine Reserves. I misspoke, and I won't let a few misplaced words tarnish my record of service to our country. However, video evidence exists of Blumenthal claiming he was in Vietnam.

Key national security confirmations for the Trump administration are underway in the Senate. Tulsi Gabbard's important confirmation hearing is scheduled for Thursday. Gabbard, a former congresswoman and military veteran, has been a strong advocate for truth on the House Armed Services Committee. She has shown courage by opposing her own party's impeachment efforts against President Trump and standing up to Kamala Harris during presidential debates. As the director of National Intelligence, she is expected to defend constitutional rights and challenge those promoting unnecessary wars.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard claims that multiple intelligence community assessments released before the November 2016 election concluded that Russia lacked both the intent and capability to influence the election's outcome. Gabbard alleges that President Obama is guilty of treason and conspired with Hillary Clinton regarding the intelligence community's assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election. She supports this "extreme allegation" with public statements and released documents.
