Tom Cotton's Treasonous Intelligence Agenda and the DNI Battle

At 1:23:00 · chapter starts 1:21:10

Tucker introduces Tom Cotton as the driving force behind mandatory intelligence sharing between the US and Israel — something Tucker flatly calls treason. Cotton is simultaneously pushing to eliminate the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which Tucker and Weichert interpret as an attempt to prevent any future Tulsi Gabbard-type figure from uncovering intelligence community activities conducted on Israel's behalf. Weichert adds that Cotton's ultimate goal may be to install a more compliant figure at the DNI — specifically John Clayton, who was involved in the botched Epstein file release. The Senate Intelligence Committee chairman is also connected to blocking the SAVE Act (voter ID), FISA reform, and other measures that would constrain surveillance of Americans. Tucker expresses concern that Tom Cotton objected to the JFK files being released, which he interprets as protecting a foreign country's involvement.

Weichert argues Beijing was running a proof-of-concept for surviving a future US attempt to cut off the Strait of Malacca. America accelerated China's rise instead of constraining it.

Why the Israel-Killed-Kirk Theory Doesn't Hold Up

#2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aug 5, 2026 News

The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
