Rep. Jimmy Gomez

Because anybody that has spoken up against the public narrative that Donald Trump has put out, they're always fired.

The analyst who said that there was no evidence that Maduro was directing or controlling

Trenda Agua in the United States, fired.

The analyst that basically said that when he claimed obliterated their nuclear weapons, their nuclear capabilities, they said that it only got set back by a few months.

Well, that person was asked to go back and do it again.

They went back and did it again.

And then all of a sudden, he found the same results, and then he was fired.

And then even the guy Joe Kent, who resigned, all of a sudden he's being investigated by the FBI.

So anybody who speaks out of turn that goes against the public narrative is going to get fired.

And what's the worst thing about it is that what ends up happening is when in the intelligence community is that people start saying, you know what, I'm not going to write a report on this.

Because I'm more likely to get fired or lose my job if I have to write something that he doesn't like or this administration doesn't like.

And so what ends up happening is that they just don't present the information.

They hold back.

And that is dangerous.

Because if you don't have the complete picture, that means the American people don't have the complete picture and that we don't know what the real consequences of any actions that he's taking are.

either engaging a war in Iran, Venezuela, you name it.

So I think we're in a very dangerous period of time because this president doesn't want to believe or doesn't want to hear anything that doesn't agree with his worldview.

Yeah, no, I think you're absolutely right.

I think she avoided it, answering the questions, pawned off the decision.

In the end, yes, is the president the one supposed to decide if something's an imminent threat?
