Trump’s Admin – Intelligence

Date recorded: Dec 18, 2025

Join Peter and Terra as they continue to dig deep and expose the agenda behind the Trump administration. Today’s episode spotlights Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), and John Ratcliffe, CIA Director and former DNI. Gabbard has been reversing many of the principled stands for which she had previously gained bipartisan respect and is being shut out of major security briefings. Is she on her way out, or just being forced into line?

On the other hand, Ratcliffe, an AIPAC favorite, is clearly part of the Trump admin's inner circle and has exerted his own influence as a contributor to Project 2025. Listen in to find out more about how these two spook chiefs are affecting domestic and foreign policy, ranging from Venezuela to the Middle East and even outer space.
