00:00It's really dangerous and outrageous for Donald Trump to nominate Bill Pulte as the next Director of National Intelligence.
00:09He has no qualifications, except from Trump's point of view that he's a Trump crony.
00:14Pulte will replace Tulsi Gabbard.
00:16She was already a disaster.
00:18To ingratiate herself with Trump, she politicized the 18 agencies an intelligence chief overseas
00:25by firing or sidelining analysts that contradicted White House's narrative.
00:30Last month, she resigned for personal reasons, and now Pulte, who is worse than Gabbard.
00:36He's the scion of a wealthy home-building dynasty, but he fell out with his family and made himself a
00:41Trump groupie,
00:42a social media influencer who trolls anybody Trump has a grudge against.
00:47So first, Trump made him his housing czar, putting him in charge of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and Fannie
00:53Mae and Freddie Mac.
00:54And Pulte kept trolling for Trump, hurling loose accusations of fraud against Trump's enemies.
01:01And for that, Trump wants to reward him with the intelligence job.
01:05That job was created after 9-11, to make sure America's spy agencies never mess up again.
01:11A Director of National Intelligence must be competent, professional, absolutely apolitical,
01:18and courageous and speaking truth to power.
01:22Bill Pulte is the opposite of that description.
