00:00Donald Trump is systematically destroying the CIA.
00:04The United States is not shooting itself in the foot, it's shooting itself in the head.
00:07His appointed CIA director is a MAGA warrior.
00:29He's firing everybody.
00:31He's instituted an ideological purge of the CIA's officer.
00:37If you're not on team Trump, there's the exit.
00:51Why does the CIA think diversity is important?
00:54It's not because they're, you know, woke.
00:56The CIA has this policy because sending an all white, all male cadre out to spy in Russia
01:03or China or Sudan or Pakistan is a really bad idea.
01:09Terrible tradecraft.
01:10This is an example because the same thing is happening at the FBI.
01:13The United States is not shooting itself in the foot, it's shooting itself in the head.
01:17Why is Trump doing this?
01:19Because the CIA and the FBI are the ones that reported and proved
01:23the alliance between team Trump and team Putin in the 2016 election.
01:28That team Putin helped elect Donald Trump.
01:30Trump doesn't want to hear this.
01:36The destruction of expertise and experience increases, substantially increases,
01:41increases, the risk of a catastrophic intelligence failure and an unforeseen disaster like the
01:489-11 attacks or worse.
01:50It makes the world a more dangerous place.
01:52And Trump is doing this deliberately for revenge, for retribution.
01:56I teach class from time to time, and one of the things I like to remind my students is that
02:01no free republic in the history of civilization has lasted longer than 300 years.
02:07And that was the Roman Empire.
02:09And we are coming up on 250 now.
02:13Are we going to make it?
