[0:09:43 - 0:10:00] We need to do something. If you look at what Tulsi Gabbard, who is now being considered for the position of the Director of National
Intelligence, which by the way she has my full vote of confidence, she's incredibly smart, also a veteran and served her nation honorably.
[0:10:00 - 0:10:10] And then of course, was a representative in Congress, right? So very, very, very achieved woman. And she's not be considered for the Director of National
Intelligence.
[0:10:41 - 0:10:48] He also have people like Marco Rubio, who was on the Senate Select Committee for
Intelligence, the CISI, who's now Secretary of State, right?
[0:14:08 - 0:14:14] Can you just explain the full scope of that? Obviously she has full oversight of all
intelligence agencies.
[0:14:41 - 0:14:54] But the DNI position is kind of a new position. And it really didn't it didn't start until probably the
intelligence reform and terrorism prevention act of 2004.
[0:15:57 - 0:16:11] So what happens 50 some years later, 9-11? And all of a sudden we realized crap. We had a huge
intelligence failure. CIA and FBI both had pieces of information and department events, also had information but they weren't sharing it.
[0:16:20 - 0:16:27] So they realized we need to do the same thing with the
intelligence community as we did with the Department of Defense and our national security apparatus.
[0:16:27 - 0:16:37] And we're going to create a daddy bearer, a mommy bearer, if you will, a headhunt show for
intelligence. And so we create this position called the director of national
intelligence.
[0:16:37 - 0:16:46] That is basically going to be the ringleader of all the 17 organizations in the
intelligence community. People who know, there's a lot of organizations out there that do
intelligence.
[0:16:52 - 0:17:04] NGA, National Geospatial
Intelligence Agency, NRO, National Reconnaissance Office, right? NSA, National Security Agency, all these organizations that have their own
intelligence mission.
[0:17:38 - 0:17:46] It's like, look, I'm going to hire people, managers, like for example, we call them National
Intelligence Managers, NIMS.
[0:17:57 - 0:18:02] The National
Intelligence Manager for, you know, fill in the blank China or whatever you want.
[0:23:31 - 0:23:44] How do you win that? I thought they could just do that. The president can. But what happens is that your for example, there'll be an anonymous complaint sent through IG, do you see I a or the
intelligence community saying, I saw Lou,
[0:25:05 - 0:25:26] writing policy is, is something that's very important. I had spent a good, a good portion of my life trying to figure out ways around policy. So they finally gave me said, okay, you know where all the loo polls all loo, you're going to fix them. Right. So I was several my positions. I was the director of policy. So we wrote policy, uh, and drafted policy coordinated policy on behalf of the department, the
intelligence community.
[0:25:26 - 0:25:42] And security clearance is one of those. Well, among many other policies like, for example, polygraph examinations or policies on how we conduct counter
intelligence under these circumstances. Right. And so every government organization uses policy for very specific reasons.
[0:26:23 - 0:26:46] Congress's function is to make laws. It's executive branches responsibility to enforce laws. So to enforce those laws, you have things like executive orders, like executive order, E 12, triple three on United States
intelligence activities. You have all these orders, maybe a national security directive and NSD that comes out. Then you have, DOD will put out their DOD directive based upon an executive order.
[0:26:46 - 0:27:15] The CIA will put out what they used to call desks, their old DCI directives, um, for kind of enforcing that executive order. And so eventually get all the way down to the subordinate levels of light, for example, the army where the army will say, okay, here's DOD directive 5240.1, we're kind of up with our army regulation 3d 112 3d 110, right. On how we the army conducts
intelligence activities. And then you have all the way down to the unit level where they can't really write policy.
[0:29:34 - 0:29:43] As the Pentagon's director for defense
intelligence and a senior executive, let's say, I know senior executive in the office of the Undersecretary Defense for
Intelligence and Security OUSD.
[0:29:43 - 0:29:56] Gary Reed was in charge of all counter
intelligence security and law enforcement operations within the Department of Defense, this in addition to heading the Afghanistan crisis action group, the office test with the back of an Afghan refugees, during America's withdrawal from Afghanistan, let's go down.
[0:29:56 - 0:30:06] Now an exclusive the debrief has learned that Reed was recently dismissed from his responsibilities when the US government before his outsting as director of defense
intelligence. So he was high up.
[0:36:33 - 0:36:46] We said ISR
intelligence surveillance reconnaissance of some sort of extreme futuristic potentially technology that conduct ISR on us, right?
[0:42:56 - 0:43:08] About like discord messages involving J Stratton's wife because he's got like a book coming out and J is a guy that you've worked within the past. You've been complimentary of him off air with me before highly
intelligent.
[0:51:56 - 0:52:13] I was telling you this last night off air, but it's relevant to bring up right now, you know, regarding guys like you who worked in like the
intel side of government for 20 plus years, your job was to make everything a secret. Yeah, you literally couldn't even go home and tell your wife. That's right. That's right.
[0:55:43 - 0:55:50] I like seeing how things work, right? Probably why I got into
intelligence to begin with. So, no shit.
[1:09:16 - 1:09:20] intel guys telling us not to go on. What a guardian. All right. A tack of the drones. Yeah,
[1:15:45 - 1:15:49] there from the
Intel community and whatnot because they realized that the emerging threat of drones
[1:22:23 - 1:22:28] not at the
Intel, meaning like maybe
Intel briefing people in Congress or things like that,
[1:28:36 - 1:28:41] as a Director of National
Intelligence, whoever that is, that says, okay, as a New
Intelligence
[1:37:05 - 1:37:09] pretty big deal because if I could put
intelligence equipment on it, I could put anything on it.
[1:41:47 - 1:41:52] who you are. That is such or
Intel that is such an embarrassment that this would have gotten in.
[1:55:54 - 1:55:59] the idea that we are alone is the only
intelligent life is impossible. If not almost impossible.
[1:55:59 - 1:56:03] And I would actually argue that maybe we're not
intelligent at all. So sure, if you're looking for
[1:56:03 - 1:56:08] intelligent life, Earth may not be the place to look just bear with me here, though. I say that
[1:58:04 - 1:58:08] by doing that, you're going to create more curiosity, more foreign
intelligence and involvement. Look,
[1:58:48 - 1:58:53] advantage, right? And then of course, they're going to apply all their
intelligence collection
[1:59:15 - 1:59:21] person to use it. Oh, no, no, no, no,
Intel,
Intel doesn't work that way.
Intel is very specific,
[1:59:21 - 1:59:26] man.
Intel is spoken like a true
Intel. Look, if you got an understanding that country,
[2:00:05 - 2:00:09] any type of
intelligence organization in another country who wants that type of technology,
[2:00:50 - 2:00:55] trying to do a show game with us, right? These are all as, you know, analysts and the
intelligence
[2:13:27 - 2:13:31] whole job is to be covert and
intel where she's not on the ground with them. She doesn't know what
[2:14:22 - 2:14:29] don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. We're not trying to to rebuild the
intelligence
[2:15:42 - 2:15:46] who understands
intel, understands military, understands government, understands politics and
[2:37:44 - 2:37:47] So it should just be yet, it's just like all
intelligence, right? So you have human until what happens
[2:37:47 - 2:37:54] when you place more emphasis on one form of
intelligence over another, well, you get bias, right? So
[2:38:00 - 2:38:05] a single source of
intelligence ever, whether it's human, image, sigants, doesn't matter, right? Or
