Inside US Intelligence: The Flip-flopper and the Favorite…

Trump’s Admin – Intelligence

Date recorded: Dec 18, 2025

Join Peter and Terra as they continue to dig deep and expose the agenda behind the Trump administration. Today’s episode spotlights Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), and John Ratcliffe, CIA Director and former DNI. Gabbard has been reversing many of the principled stands for which she had previously gained bipartisan respect and is being shut out of major security briefings. Is she on her way out, or just being forced into line?

On the other hand, Ratcliffe, an AIPAC favorite, is clearly part of the Trump admin's inner circle and has exerted his own influence as a contributor to Project 2025. Listen in to find out more about how these two spook chiefs are affecting domestic and foreign policy, ranging from Venezuela to the Middle East and even outer space.

Connecting the Dots
"During the past few years we have become acutely aware of the organized takeover and slow demolition of nation states by globalist powers. They are attempting to enact a Great Reset via the Fourth Industrial Revolution with the intention of locking down the world under a global technocracy. This is occurring via the capture of local, state, federal and national governments by international institutions such as the United Nations and the World Health Organization, as well as Non-Governmental Organizations such as the World Economic Forum. Join us on our deep dive into what the globalist's agenda is, who is promoting it, and how it is being implemented locally in Pima County. Educate yourself so that you will better equipped to recognize and stand against this agenda in your community."
