CIA has gone through massive attrition since then.
They were defunded under his first presidency.
So Director Ratcliffe is the least –
used director, the least referenced director.
You never hear about him.
Is he the head of the CIA?
He is the head of the CIA.
And what I am concerned about is that the CIA I left in 2014
was already missing intelligence on Venezuela and Iran.
Since then, it's gotten smaller.
It's gotten marginalized more.
It's been treated hostilely by the U.S.
president.
And the CIA that I had started hearing rumors about in the early 2020s, 65% of the intelligence that they were producing was coming from foreign allies.
They didn't have the ability to create their own intelligence.
I'm just saying the intelligence that the CIA is using now, I would argue—
That we keep talking about CIA and you keep seeing CIA in the headlines and it's actually not.
That's fake.
I don't think that's real.
CIA is the central intelligence agency, which is by design.
