Well, that's kind of obvious based on what the president has said.

On what the president has said?

I'm just saying based on what the president says.

You have to trust somebody, right?

It's not paranoid.

It's healthy.

It is absolutely paranoid to suggest that everything is misinformation.

Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon, so it's not a nuclear threat.

Very interesting what you both said.

And I think what I would add to that, which very much speaks to today, is that the CIA, in fact, had many ups and downs over the decades from its creation right after World War II until this moment in time and then on 9-11.

And so it's been like an accordion experience of –

power being taken away from the CIA and then being grabbed back.

Because the CIA has always historically been the president's hidden hand.

It has been the way in which the White House can execute executive power

without having to follow the laws of war that the military does.

So military is a code called Title 10.

CIA is a code called Title 50.

And while that may sound a bit wonkish, it is important to understand because Title 50 essentially, as Andrew can speak to, gives the president authority under classified presidential directive to

to change any rule he wants that suits him for an operation at hand, which gets us precisely to where we are today.

But that is 100%— They're both the supreme leader.
