So that's another thing I've seen leveled against you.

Imminent threat.

Only the president, Mac, we can put Director Gabbard's statement up there on the screen.

She said that the ODNI and I guess the office you used to work for, your job was really just to assess the intelligence.

The only person who can determine what is and not an imminent threat is the president.

Do you believe that statement?

Do you think do you think that statement?

And I'm assuming you had access to the same level of intelligence.

I mean, this is one of the reasons why I had to resign.

I think this is – I believe the DNI is speaking the truth.

At the end of the day, the president was elected by the American people.

So if the president wants to say, like, my tolerance for imminent is anybody pointing a weapon generally in our direction, well, okay, you're the boss.

You're the commander-in-chief.
