Trump’s Intelligence Team Is In FULL BLOWN MUTINY Over Iran | Redacted w Clayton Morris
Redacted
0:00 Well, Americans better buckle up for some hard truths.
0:02 We can exclusively report here on Redacted that something
0:05 very big is happening inside of President Trump's intelligence operation.
0:09 And if you care about the national security of the United States,
0:12 then this should alarm you.
0:14 Sources are telling Redacted that there are American
0:16 intelligence professionals inside this administration who are furious.
0:21 They believe the American people are being lied
0:24 to about what's really happening in the war with Iran.
0:26 They believe the official story coming out of the White
0:29 House does not match the actual intelligence at all.
0:32 And they believe Trump's Iran policy has been hijacked,
0:36 not by America first national security officials,
0:38 not by sober military planners, not even by the CIA or the DIA,
0:44 but by the Israeli government and its intelligence apparatus.
0:47 In other words, Trump's intelligence operation is
0:50 truly being run out of Tel Aviv.
0:53 And now those US officials are leaking information to the media,
0:57 including the Washington Post,
0:58 in order to get these stories out about what's really happening in Iran.
1:02 I'm going to show you examples of that here in a minute.
1:05 But first, we've all been spoonfed lies about this war.
1:09 Mainstream media is feeding you fake
1:11 stories about what's really happening in Iran,
1:13 what's happening in the Gulf States,
1:16 like this laughable gem over the last 24 hours from Jesse Waters.
1:21 Watch.
1:22 President says based on the request of Pakistan and other countries,
1:25 we have mutually agreed that while the blockade
1:28 will remain in full force and effect,
1:30 project freedom will be paused for a short period of time
1:34 to see whether or not the agreement can be finalized and signed.
1:39 We suspect the president is letting the Iranians save face.
1:44 The enemy just yesterday said they controlled the strait.
1:47 That was obviously a lie.
1:49 And watching the Americans escort ship after ship out of the Gulf and them
1:54 not being able to do anything about that was going to be humiliating.
1:59 Not only were they going to lose whatever
2:01 military prestige they had left in the region,
2:04 their negotiators weren't going to be able to fight
2:06 for their position after they lost their last bargaining chip.
2:12 The commander-in-chief must believe
2:13 that the Iranians are serious about surrendering.
2:17 if he's going to pause Project Freedom for the sake of a deal because you could
2:22 also continue Project Freedom during the negotiations.
2:26 You know, you do want to get these foreign ships moving.
2:29 The president must know what he's doing.
2:31 And we're about to find out how insane in the brain the regime really is.
2:37 I wonder what it feels like to have your head that far up your ass.
2:40 I mean, and up the up the ass
2:42 of the president and regurgitating Marco Rubio talking points.
2:46 Okay.
2:47 Uh, so right, Jesse, right?
2:49 So Trump is losing on purpose because he
2:52 wants the enemy to feel good about itself.
2:55 That's so nice.
2:56 That's why Project Freedom has been put on hold.
2:59 The Zionist pumping these lies out
3:00 to the American people think that you are stupid.
3:03 The truth cannot be revealed by the Israeli run White House.
3:08 Trump watches Fox News non-stop.
3:10 So the information loop is happening in real time.
3:13 One of his favored cabinet folks begs to go on Fox News,
3:17 does an interview, pushes propaganda fed to them by the Israeli intelligence.
3:21 Trump watches it then on Fox News, and the circle repeats itself.
3:26 Megan Kelly recently summed it up, summed up this loop perfectly.
3:29 Watch.
3:30 I've spoken to many people at Fox who've told
3:33 me that administration figures will come to them saying,
3:37 "Please put me on because I have something the president
3:39 has to hear." And also the if their fortunes are dwindling,
3:43 they want a a hit like on Fox and Friends
3:46 for example because they want to show I'm on TV.
3:49 See, I'm relevant.
3:50 I'm making your points.
3:52 They know the shows he watches and they try very hard to get on them.
3:56 But look, we know that the case was made
3:58 because we know that Tucker Carlson got in front
3:59 of him three times in the month leading up
4:01 to this war and you know just he he wasn't persuaded.
4:04 So there but there were just so many other voices.
4:06 It was nine to one you know that he was listening to pushing him into it.
4:10 Not to take agency away from the president at all,
4:12 but I do think a full assessment.
4:14 We know Trump made the call.
4:15 That's not a mystery.
4:16 But the who pushed him into it, who made these representations also matters.
4:21 So, this is what we're watching unfold in real time.
4:24 Now, you have brave patriots inside Trump's
4:26 intelligence team at ODNI revealing the truth.
4:30 And the leaks are starting to tell a very different story
4:32 from the one that the Trump administration
4:34 has been selling to the American people.
4:35 For weeks, President Trump and his team have told us that Iran is being crushed,
4:39 that Iran's missile program has been
4:41 obliterated or decimated, to use their words.
4:44 Jesse Waters and his types have been telling you that the US
4:47 blockade of the Straight of Hormuse is is breaking Tyrron economically.
4:52 That the US military assets in the region are secure.
4:55 Nothing to see here.
4:56 And that it's all going going according to plan.
5:00 But now look at what leaks are coming out this morning.
5:04 The Washington Post is now reporting that a confidential CIA
5:07 assessment delivered to the administration policy maker says Iran can survive
5:11 Trump's naval blockade of the Straight of Hormuz for at least
5:14 3 to four months before facing more severe economic hardship.
5:19 That directly undercuts what the White House narrative is that Iran
5:22 is on the verge of collapse or that they've already collapsed.
5:26 So, the Israeli intelligence team running the White House messaging
5:29 is lying to you and they're lying to President Trump,
5:31 selling him falsehoods about Iran's ability to control the Strait of Hormuz.
5:35 Here's the Daily Mail.
5:37 Another leak from the Patriots and Trump's
5:38 ODNI reports that despite what you've been hearing,
5:41 Iran still retains 75% of its mobile launchers,
5:44 70% of its pre-war missile stockpiles, not 18% as they're telling us.
5:51 And they're not mostly decimated, 70%.
5:56 And according to these folks inside Trump's intel team,
5:59 they've even reopened much of the underground tunnels and missile production.
6:03 So we have to ask ourselves,
6:05 why is that information only reaching the American people through leaks?
6:09 Why are we learning from like anonymous intelligence officials that Iran's
6:12 underground storage facilities have largely been recovered or even reopened?
6:17 Why are we learning that Iran has repaired some damaged missiles,
6:20 even assembled new ones?
6:23 They've been producing missiles during this time period.
6:26 I thought they were decimated.
6:29 This is the intelligence problem Trump has on his hands right now.
6:31 And since Trump only watches Fox News
6:33 and gets his information from Israeli intelligence, how is he being informed?
6:38 So Tulsi Gabbard is supposed to be
6:40 there every morning providing the intel assessment, right?
6:43 Is that still happening?
6:44 Has she been pushed out?
6:46 Is he seeing this truthful info or is it being kept from him?
6:51 I know Megan Kelly is giving him, you know,
6:53 credit saying he's he has agency here, but does he?
6:57 Either he's not being told the truth or he knows the truth
7:00 and is allowing the public narrative to continue anyway to save face.
7:04 But it gets worse because the Washington Post
7:07 this week also thanks to these leakers inside
7:10 ODNI published satellite imagery analysis showing that Iranian
7:14 strikes damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures,
7:17 pieces of military uh equipment at US military sites across the Middle East.
7:21 That includes barracks, hangers, fuel depots,
7:23 aircraft, radar, communication systems, air defense equipment.
7:28 We talked to Colonel McGregor yesterday.
7:30 He says uninhabitable most of these places.
7:34 probably never to be used again.
7:36 Now, the Post says that level of destruction is
7:39 far larger than what the US government has publicly acknowledged.
7:41 Think about that.
7:42 The American people were told their reports of major US losses were fake news,
7:46 exaggerations, propaganda,
7:49 same kind of propaganda that Israel sells to its own people.
7:52 The Iron Dome stopped all the missiles.
7:55 Uh, no it didn't.
7:57 The satellite imagery shows that US facilities were hit and destroyed.
8:00 shows that Iran's targeting was more precise than officials wanted to admit.
8:03 It also shows that American bases across the region may be far
8:06 more vulnerable than the Pentagon has been willing to say out loud.
8:10 And this is exactly why intelligence sources appear to be
8:12 going outside normal channels right now trying to leak this info
8:15 to the American people because sources are telling Redacted that they
8:19 believe the war is being run through a foreign intelligence apparatus.
8:24 And this brings us to Joe Kent.
8:26 Kent was the head of the National Care and Terrorism Center.
8:29 was close to Tulsi Gabbard.
8:31 He was a Trump supporter.
8:32 He was not some left-wing resistance nut job and he resigned over the Iran war.
8:39 In his resignation letter, Kent said he could not support the war.
8:41 He said Iran posed no imminent threat to the US
8:44 and that was the assessment of the intelligence agencies.
8:47 And he said the US went to war because
8:49 of pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
8:53 So, the Washington Post reported
8:54 that Kent accused high-ranking officials and influential
8:58 media figures of pushing misinformation about a swift path to victory.
9:02 It was going to be four days in order to sell the American people on this war.
9:06 It didn't work.
9:07 The American people hate this war.
9:09 So, I don't know what selling they were really doing anyway.
9:13 And then Kent went even further in an interview with Tucker Carlson.
9:16 Kent said that senior officials who had doubts about the strikes
9:18 were not allowed to share those concerns with President Trump.
9:23 He said that Israeli officials were providing information
9:26 that US officials could not confirm through intelligence channels.
9:29 That's shocking.
9:29 Meaning our own CIA didn't trust what the Israelis were selling.
9:34 And notice something else here.
9:35 Where the hell is Tulsi Gabbard?
9:37 Tulsi Gabbard is the director of national intelligence.
9:39 She's supposed to be the person overseeing the intelligence community,
9:42 advising the president on national security.
9:44 But since this war began, you don't see her doing Fox News hits.
9:48 She's not popping up on Fox News so that she can sell anything to the president,
9:52 not being even allowed to do those hits.
9:55 And that tells you something.
9:56 And here's something else.
9:57 The John Brennan investigation.
9:59 We were told for months that accountability was coming,
10:01 an indictment was coming.
10:03 We were told the former CIA director was under serious scrutiny,
10:06 whether he lied to Congress, and then also, I mean, criminal,
10:11 really demonic stuff that they were apparently uncovering.
10:14 And then suddenly the lead prosecutor was no longer on the case.
10:18 Subpoenas withdrawn, replaced with like voluntary interview requests.
10:21 CBS News, Barry Weiss's CBS News reported the lead prosecutor
10:27 overseeing a criminal investigation was no longer assigned to the case.
10:30 Done, gone.
10:31 So John Brennan now has a cushy consulting gig.
10:33 Pierce has a contributor on MSNBC.
10:36 So all good.
10:37 Nothing to see here.
10:39 And former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter is saying the quiet
10:41 part out loud in a recent interview with Glenn Diesson.
10:44 He said that US policy towards Iran is not being written by the CIA,
10:48 not by the DIA, but by the policy circles aligned with Israel.
10:53 Well, don't you hate when people say, "I told you so." Yeah,
10:56 that's me actually because I I did tell you.
10:59 Sorry, but I told you that gold and silver
11:01 were going to reap the benefits of excessive money printing,
11:03 the Fed just printing money like crazy, overvalued markets, global unrest.
11:07 It's here.
11:08 It's happened.
11:08 Gold and silver have both soared to all-time highs.
11:12 So, I hope you called our friends at Lear Capital and you bought some.
11:15 If you didn't, trust me, it's not too late.
11:17 Experts are predicting even higher prices ahead.
11:20 And they get it.
11:21 They know what's coming.
11:22 Isn't it time, folks?
11:23 Get yourself some gold and silver today.
11:25 Call the best in the business.
11:27 I personally use them.
11:28 So does Natalie.
11:28 We both do.
11:29 And our kids do as well in their IAS.
11:32 Lear Capital.
11:33 It's a free phone call.
11:34 There's no obligation to purchase.
11:35 just education, information on protecting and growing
11:38 your wealth with gold and silver.
11:40 I'm sure there are many of you that have
11:42 called and haven't purchased yet for whatever reason.
11:44 Don't make the same mistake twice.
11:46 Now is the time to get some gold shipped directly to you
11:49 or shift some dollars in your retirement
11:51 accounts over to physical gold and silver.
11:53 It's easy to do.
11:54 Natalie and I have done it for both
11:56 and I've been extremely satisfied with Lear's knowledge,
11:58 their service, their prices.
12:00 I urge you to call today and learn more.
12:02 Call them 1 8006133557 or go to leerred redacted.com and you can
12:09 receive up to $20,000 in free bonus medals with a qualified purchase.
12:14 So former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter joins us now to dissect all of this.
12:20 Scott, great to see you.
12:21 Welcome back to the show.
12:23 Thanks for having me.
12:24 So you when you hear these leaks coming
12:27 out of the Washington Post and other media right
12:29 now from sources at ODNI and others trying
12:33 to get this information out to the American people,
12:35 what does that tell you about the people that are surrounding Trump
12:39 right now who are providing him with intelligence assessments of the Iran war?
12:44 You know, Washington DC is always leaked.
12:46 Um I had my first experience of that was
12:49 in the late 1980s um with the intermediate nuclear forces
12:54 treaty and we saw there were elements inside the United
12:58 States Congress who had allies in the US intelligence
13:01 community who didn't want this treaty to work and so
13:04 they would leak misleading intelligence uh uh to you
13:08 know the the the Washington times that would publish it
13:12 on the front page and suddenly became a talking point.
13:14 So, we we've seen leaks used for a number of reasons.
13:17 Just because something's leaked doesn't mean it's right.
13:20 It means that there are uh interested parties within the United
13:24 States government who take umbrage at uh the official line.
13:28 Um so, this isn't new.
13:29 The the the leaking Washington DC has been leaking like a sea forever.
13:33 Um but what it tells us about the Trump administration
13:37 is that there is push back from within the system
13:42 uh to the narrative that's being promulgated by uh
13:45 the White House and the uh the people surrounding them.
13:49 Then what makes this uh interesting is
13:51 that the facts tend to align with the leakers, not the policy makers.
13:56 Sometimes it's the opposite case as was with the INF
13:59 treaty where the uh leaked information was factually incorrect.
14:04 Uh they leaked it not be not to tell the truth
14:06 but to create perceptions because perceptions create their own realities.
14:10 Here we have the White House in the business
14:12 of manufacturing perceptions uh and the reality
14:16 is being suppressed and we have people seeking
14:18 to release fact-based evidence that contradicts the narrative.
14:23 Um I I'd always like to believe that um our policy aligns with truth.
14:28 Um and what we see here is that it doesn't.
14:31 We have a uh a White House that's been lying to the American people,
14:35 a White House that's been lying to itself.
14:37 I mean, just listen to what Megan Kelly said.
14:40 I mean, you I know you did because you you spoke about it,
14:42 but just it for a second understand the dysfunction.
14:46 You're somebody who um was brought into your position to advise the president.
14:53 You were picked for that purpose.
14:55 Uh but because this president operates in such a tight
14:59 circle of sycophants uh who exist only to appease his narcissism,
15:04 um you can't get access to the person you're supposed to advise.
15:08 So you have to go to a non-governmental entity,
15:12 um you know, a a mainstream media outlet, Fox News, right?
15:16 um in order to send a message.
15:18 I mean, this is dysfunction at its uh at its worst.
15:21 This is dangerous dysfunction.
15:22 This is the kind of stuff
15:23 that should prompt immediate congressional investigations.
15:27 Um but instead and and it it also
15:29 should prompt the outrage of the American people.
15:32 Um we went to war.
15:35 And I know the president is playing stupid, you know, games.
15:37 It was a skirmish.
15:38 It was No, this was a war.
15:39 This is one of the the most serious
15:42 strategic air campaigns launched since Operation Desert Storm.
15:46 Um, this is a big deal.
15:49 Tens of billions of dollars of American taxpayer money was expended.
15:53 Perhaps over a hundred billion dollars of damage
15:56 has been done to American assets in the region.
16:00 And um, you know, this president treats it as if it's some sort of parlor game.
16:06 This is insanity personified.
16:08 When you hear the assessments from these leakers inside the administration
16:12 who are trying to get this information out about like the military,
16:15 the US military bases destroyed,
16:17 Iran's ability to with withstand months of Hormuse closure pressure,
16:23 uh their stockpiles of missiles, etc.
16:26 Do those leaks sound accurate to you based on your assessments?
16:33 Well, first of all, I'm always a little bit uh reticent to talk about battle
16:37 damage assessment because um I'm an American
16:40 and although I'm not in favor of this war,
16:43 uh the last thing I want to do is give somebody who's firing missiles
16:46 at American service members an indication
16:49 of how successful those uh those strikes are.
16:51 So, I'm always a little hesitant to talk about bad battle damage assessment,
16:55 but I'll take the Washington Post at its word.
16:57 I will also say this about the um the the the assessments coming
17:01 out from the US intelligence community about
17:04 you know surviving percentages of missiles etc.
17:07 I think that these are inaccurate numbers.
17:10 Um uh I think that they underplay uh actually
17:15 the survival rate of the um of the Iranian missiles.
17:19 Uh wow.
17:20 you know, we in the because they're derived from, you know,
17:23 reporting um that that includes, you know,
17:26 battle damage assessments from the people launching the strikes.
17:30 The president is just straight up lying.
17:31 So when he says 18, it's just a manufactured number.
17:34 We know that.
17:35 But the US intelligence community always um you
17:39 know leans towards what the um the operators say.
17:44 And I just go back I I I can
17:46 speak on personal experience here during the Gulf War.
17:49 Um, if we say we destroyed, you know, if there's 70% left, there's 90% left.
17:55 If, you know, it's it's that's the case because we
17:58 w we clearly don't know what the Iranians are capable of.
18:01 We don't know what they've done.
18:02 Uh, the same thing with uh we you know, this the estimates about uh you know,
18:07 3 to four months worth of um you know, sustainability on the energy side.
18:11 I I'd say that's probably three to four years
18:14 um because we don't know the truth about Iran's economy.
18:18 There's a this is conventional analysis done without any um incorporation
18:23 of you know the extensive gray markets that exist the black markets.
18:28 I wonder if they calculated uh accurately how much oil
18:31 is consumed domestically by the Iranians that doesn't need to go
18:34 into storage or what's going on with the amount of oil
18:38 that's being shipped across the Pakistani border uh by trucks.
18:42 Now, uh, from all accounts, uh, it is literally, uh, you know,
18:46 the the entire border has been turned into a massive highway.
18:49 Um, so I would say that the intelligence
18:52 doesn't have as clear picture about Iran.
18:55 Um, you know, as some people want to give them credit for.
18:57 I give them credit for, you know,
18:59 putting out assessment that isn't uh, spun politically,
19:02 but I would say that the CIA doesn't haveight into the reality of Iran,
19:07 both in terms of their military and their economy.
19:11 So, Scott, I'll get your assessment then where you think things are heading.
19:14 Um, we've been hearing reports from uh think Larry Johnson
19:18 and others believe that a new round of military action is imminent,
19:23 maybe within 48 hours um against Iran.
19:27 What is What do you What do you What are you hearing?
19:29 What do you think?
19:32 Well, I'm not as plugged in as Larry is, so I can't say I'm hearing anything.
19:36 Um this is just purely assessment on my part.
19:39 Um, but it's an assessment based upon reality.
19:42 Um, and and there's there in lies the problem.
19:45 I think we need to acknowledge upfront that we're
19:47 dealing with a president who is clinically insane.
19:49 The man is, you know,
19:50 suffering from narcissistic personality disorder of the most malignant nature.
19:54 It makes him antisocial.
19:56 If he lived in the state of New York,
19:57 he could be involuntarily uh confined because he represents a danger to society.
20:02 But he's the president of the United
20:03 States with his finger on the nuclear trigger.
20:05 Um, you know, and I'm being serious here.
20:08 I'm not I'm not being facitious at all.
20:09 This is a man whose uh social
20:12 postings are clearly indicative of mental um instability.
20:17 U and so that means we don't know what is going to happen.
20:21 But what I can say is that the people surrounding the president
20:25 know exactly what would happen if we resumed attacks against Iran.
20:28 Uh we can't beat the Iranians.
20:30 We proved that with 39 days
20:32 of incessant bombardment that accomplished literally nothing.
20:36 Um and we now know that um the Iranians retain capacity to strike back.
20:42 Uh the military knows that it can't accomplish any mission given to it
20:45 to uh you know uh eradicate in short
20:48 order Iran's ability to launch ballistic missiles.
20:51 We had 39 days to do that.
20:52 We didn't do that.
20:53 The Iranians only got stronger.
20:55 Uh now the Iranians are locked and loaded.
20:58 We know that they accurately uh they
21:01 can accurately strike targets that they aim at.
21:03 And the Iranians have made it clear
21:04 that if there's renewed action against them that targets
21:07 their energy infrastructure that they will eradicate
21:10 the energy infrastructure of the Gulf Arab states.
21:12 That means that Kuwait will no longer produce energy.
21:15 Qatar will no longer produce energy.
21:16 Bahrain will no longer produce energy and the United Arab will
21:20 no longer produce energy and Saudi Arabia will no longer produce energy.
21:23 That's it for the global economy.
21:25 Game set, match, shut it down.
21:27 It's all over.
21:28 um you know even though it's 22% when you remove 202% as precipitously
21:34 as it's being removed right now um it will cause a collapse a total collapse.
21:39 A building structure loses 22% of its uh
21:42 of its own you know loadbearing capability collapses.
21:45 You can say well there's you know 78% remaining or 88%.
21:51 No, it doesn't matter.
21:52 When you remove that much this fast without any shoring taking place,
21:56 the global economy collapses and this includes
21:59 the American economy and people I believe are telling
22:02 the president that um you will be committing
22:05 political suicide that there is no recovery from this.
22:08 So, I believe that what's going on is a lot
22:11 of posturing right now that this president is desperate
22:13 for an off-ramp and uh the the the militant rhetoric
22:18 that we're hearing is simply flexing of muscles that no longer exist.
22:22 Uh now, I could be proven wrong.
22:24 As I said, this man is clinically insane and clearly the people
22:27 surrounding him are sick offense uh whose job is to, you know,
22:32 stroke his ego um not to tell him the truth.
22:35 But I think this president is politically savvy enough
22:38 and there's enough um you know the narcissist wants
22:41 his legacy to survive and he's watching his legacy go
22:45 down in flames right now and he recognizes that he
22:48 needs to stop the damage uh and pray for some
22:51 sort of policybased miracle this summer that can reverse
22:55 the uh the polling um when it comes to you
22:58 know the support for his policies which is plummeting.
23:02 So, I personally believe that there isn't going
23:04 to be a resumption of uh military action against
23:07 Iran by the United States because to do so
23:10 would be the kiss of death for this president.
23:13 Interesting.
23:14 We just saw attacks on Kashm Island,
23:16 some drone attacks that were intercepted by Iranian
23:19 air defenses uh reporting just a few minutes ago.
23:22 Likely Israeli, I would imagine, to to your point.
23:26 Um, which final question, Scott,
23:27 then on take that Kashm um point, but also, you know,
23:31 is Trump's intelligence apparatus really just being
23:34 run basically out of Tel Aviv right now?
23:38 Yeah.
23:38 You know, we we we've seen this in in a lot of areas,
23:43 especially in the Middle East, especially pertaining to um Iran.
23:47 You know, the CIA doesn't have a good track record.
23:49 We we know in the 1980s um Steve Richtor
23:52 who who ran the uh near east directorate um
23:56 you know through incompetence sacrificed it and you know
23:59 the the totality of America's human intelligence network in Iran.
24:03 Um we painstakingly u have sought to rebuild it.
24:07 We sacrificed it about six years ago when
24:11 uh a Gmailbased uh communications capability was uh was
24:16 compromised and again everybody comp communicating got arrested
24:20 and killed and we attempted to reconstitute it again.
24:24 Today we don't have a human intelligence capability.
24:26 We have totally farmed out human intelligence in Iran to Israel.
24:33 Um which you know which means now that when whenever
24:37 somebody's putting together a um you know an intelligence assessment
24:41 drive all sources um you know you can sit there
24:45 and say I have a I'm looking at this photograph.
24:48 This is my assessment.
24:49 You know, photographic intelligence gives you a snapshot.
24:52 You can look at it over a sustained period
24:53 of time and drives some sort of uh insight.
24:56 But at the end of the day, if I'm sitting there telling you what I see
24:59 based upon several snapshots in time and somebody else says,
25:02 "Yeah, but I got a human source close to uh
25:05 so and so inside Iran." Uh everybody likes the human source.
25:08 They like the sexiness.
25:09 The same thing with signals intelligence.
25:11 Unless you're monitoring the feed full time,
25:14 um you're only getting snippets of conversations.
25:17 And so somebody who has the human intelligence can come
25:20 in and say I can bring additional context to that communication.
25:23 Um the Israelis right now run the human intelligence out
25:25 of Iran and the United States is held hostage to it.
25:28 And but even worse is that the US intelligence community isn't
25:32 given a chance to uh to counter what the Israelis say.
25:35 The president will meet in private with Prime Minister Netanyahu and the head
25:39 of the MSAD who will brief him
25:41 independent of any uh US intelligence personnel present.
25:45 uh and the president um you know is won over by the uh the the the strength
25:49 of the personalities delivering fundamentally flawed arguments.
25:53 Uh so this is an absolute intelligence failure on the part of the United States.
25:58 Again, something that normally would trigger congressional inquiry,
26:01 but Congress is asleep at the wheel.
26:03 Yeah, absolutely.
26:04 Scott, great to see you.
