I think we need people doing, you know, kind of both.

So for me, I felt like considering the fact that...

I have soldiers on for so long before I have tried this before.

And honestly, it felt like the easiest thing for me to do was to just like kind of go back to my default mode, which is I'll be a good soldier.

I'll salute.

I'll move out.

I'll try and make a difference.

You know, it feels good being the NCTC director.

People are very kind to you and you have a cool office and you have a cool title.

It, it,

It would be the easy thing to do.

And whenever you, for me anyways, whenever I feel like I'm doing the easy thing, I always try to check myself.

And I said, I'm in a unique position right now because of my experiences in my past life in the military and the CIA and even running for office.

I feel like I have a pretty thick skin for this type of stuff.

So I think that the most value add I can have right now is in this role.

If the Israelis were able to get into President Trump's ear using the media, it's time for me to do the same.

Got it.

Well, I think that's obviously very admirable.

So let's talk then.

The specific allegation I've seen about this is that you are misrepresenting how this went down, is that you have not provided specific evidence for how the Israelis manipulated President Trump.
