Hang ‘em high
Biden's daily briefing,…. Depends
this is one of the best guests
CIA = Christian intelligence agency
Seeing as the big guy isn’t in charge of anything accept reading a teleprompter, I’d say the only thing they tell him is when his poopy pants need changing.
“The intelligence community can be effective “…… misses 9/11…
We are all defined by our limitations. So figure that out. And we know who we are. As a people. And as members of any community. Or country. Which calls into question our belief in our American exceptionalism. Why do we believe we are superior to any other country. Seems to me a blind spot we all need to explore. As others are probably not only mining it but using it to their advantage.
Well we know Biden doesn’t get to this report much. Probably napping half the time. I wonder if Dr. Jill reads it like a bed time story.
Most interesting part of the interview. Very informative.
Always thumbs up for Lex
Wow, actually having somebody who well-versed to explain the circumstances like this an such a great format, this makes me more capable to understand what the role of a president really is. This is great information for people who need to hear how things actually work in the system that we all live in.
"I dont care what's happening in Russia and Ukraine tell me about Venezuela"
The idea that THIS president has any idea about what's going on is ludicrous. And, according to the US Constitution, a person may serve in the office of president for 10-years, not 8.
Who is REALLY controlling the people who assemble the PDB? Who controls what information and what the narratives are around each issue? The CIA would know better than anyone of how to frame an issue to capture the presidents attention… The fact that many presidents have been told no on the Area 51 question serves as absolute proof that there is in fact a "shadow government".
What is that drink in the can on lex's table? Can anyone tell me please? I don't care that much I'm just curious lol
Who else is picturing Biden reading 100 pages every day😅
so many deep state deleted comments; you have no idea
when those with power get too powerful, they'll purposely cripple the government. This isn't by accident and is by design. Yet voters keep letting the two parties divide and conquer. We saw this happen with the roman empire and the USA is repeating history.
What administration has he worked for? Here we go back to opinion…
There is a good possibility the US will one day fall behind in the super power category for several different reasons. Like many other powers throughout human history. Eventually they will fall.
Five former heads of CIA claimed, in writing, the Biden laptop wasn’t real. That means either they are painfully bad at their job, or they’re lying. In either case, the best person to run CIA almost certainly is not a product of CIA.
Deep state trash
Bar a pornstar be my dream job
He has stated that the President is a "customer". Scary that the CIA thinks itself a private entity, even though it is funded by tax-payers. The president is the Commander and Chief, not a customer.
When you get a perspective, albeit a miniscule perspective to the way nations really operate, you quickly realize how the average Joe doesn't know Jack about what's happening around the world, how media of all sort is designed to manipulate desire deceive, how the U.S. is falling behind as the superpower to China, and perhaps most importantly and dangerously how the average Joe doesn't know Jack but believes they have the world figured out.
This was one of the most interesting and best podcasts I’ve seen by Lex, perhaps by every one I have watched by anyone. This entire thing had me sucked in, almost 4 hours? But Lex kills all of them and they are all really good with impressive people.
what garbage from a professional liar
here's a question, do you really want the CIA to be more effective ?
Why there pictur of old Joe. Trump stills rill preseedint!
10 years…. Actually
Lex isn't asking the right questions here. The real question is: how do we get Tim Dillon on the first page?
I can’t help but shake the feeling he’s simultaneously capping and telling the truth 😂
These government bois be different.
😳👍wow.
You think Biden can even process any special briefing? 🙄
The alternative maybe having a CIA director based on merit staying in their post for over 20 years secretly subverting or even sabotaging the elected government, you know the conspiracies about "deep state" will actually hold some merit then. The reason certain national security positions are basically filled by the "winner takes the spoils" system is because of their potential for abuse. Fill them up like anyother job based on merit then yeah sure you'll have long term strategic coherence and can be more effective but then what if an individual decides he wants to emulate the praetorian guard in the last centuries of the roman empire? What if they decide they can make better choices for the country than the idiot that the public elected? or what if they just want more? what's to stop them? people in positions like these have the potential to grow immensely powerful and it is better to compromise effectiveness and efficiency to ensure democracy prevails and besides, no one has ever claimed that a democracy is the most efficient form of government.
This guy is a hack
What the CIA tells the President:
“YOU take YOUR seat.”
It doesn’t matter what they tell the president. He will forget 2 seconds later. He can’t even remember shaking a guys hand.
They tell that motherfucker EXACTLY what to do LOL. Step out of line and end up like JFK
This makes it so much more scary and depressing trump was that customer. I can just imagine all the shit he didn't care about.
He lost all credebility when he denies snowden his freedom
