The Washington Roundtable is joined by Jeff Stein, the veteran political reporter and founding editor of the newsletter “Spytalk,” to examine Donald Trump's appointment of Bill Pulte as the new acting Director of National Intelligence, a position that, in theory, oversees the C.I.A., N.S.A., F.B.I., and fifteen other agencies. Pulte has no intelligence background and no national-security experience, but does have a track record of going after the President's perceived enemies. Plus, the panel discusses a recent Washington Post investigation that raised new questions about the outgoing director, Tulsi Gabbard, and her alleged ties to a religious cult.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has been subpoenaed by the US Senate, just days after Tulsi Gabbard declassified more COVID-origins documents. Justin Hart says they finally show how Dr. Fauci used a “circular reporting loop” to mislead the CIA as they investigated whether “his own funded research might have caused the pandemic.” While under oath in 2024, Fauci was asked by Congress if he'd spoken to the CIA about viral research, responding “not to my knowledge about COVID.” These new documents appear to conflict with Dr. Fauci's testimony. “It works like this,” writes Hart. “Fauci hands the intelligence community a list of scientists to consult. The IC consults them. Their conclusions become the official intelligence assessment… The scientists vouch for Fauci, the spies vouch for the scientists, and the public is told the whole circle is consensus.” Hart says Fauci pointed analysts toward research he called consistent with natural origins and recommended specific scientists who already agreed with him. Justin Hart discusses the new bombshell reports and Bill Pulte, tapped as acting DNI after Gabbard's resignation.

Episode 5466: Prioritizing Free And Fair Elections; Why they Fear Bill Pulte
Bill Pulte, Donald Trump's new acting Director of National Intelligence and someone with zero prior experience, celebrated his new job with a massive purge of staff. The ODNI was created to protect Americans - is it now becoming Trump's personal detective agency? John Sipher, a former intelligence officer with 28 years of experience in the CIA, joins David Rothkopf to discuss the state of America's intelligence community and the devastating impacts of Donald Trump.

President Trump just dropped a political hand grenade into Washington. He tapped Bill Pulte to serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence, and the reaction from the media, Democrats, and the intelligence establishment tells you everything you need to know. They are furious. Why? Because Pulte is doing exactly what many Americans have demanded for years. He's cleaning house. Within days of taking over, reports indicate dozens of employees inside the Office of the Director of National Intelligence were either fired or sent packing as the administration moves to shrink what President Trump has called a bloated intelligence bureaucracy. And here's the kicker. Almost immediately, anti-Pulte leaks started pouring out of the intelligence community. The same people who claim to be defending democracy are running to the media to undermine the man tasked with reforming their agency. If there was ever proof that the swamp still exists, this is it. To me, those leaks are not an argument against Bill Pulte. They're the strongest argument for him. The intelligence community was never supposed to operate as an independent power center. It exists to serve the American people, not protect itself. Yet every time someone comes along promising accountability, downsizing, and reform, the knives come out. The media says Pulte is dangerous. Democrats say he's unqualified. Washington insiders are panicking. Frankly, that makes me like the appointment even more. Today, we break down why Bill Pulte may be exactly the deep state slayer President Trump was looking for, why the leaks prove the purge is necessary, and why the intelligence establishment is terrified of what could come next.

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid had to actively look for things to be sad about this week and could not find any. Yesterday and today the White House went full blown Q in public for the first time. The "Q means Quantum" post hid a special character at line 48, which decodes to Q drop 48 about Q clearance and the Department of Energy. The fake Always Trust 47 post landed at 14:25 Eastern, which decodes to Q drop 1425 reading "given we have now undeniably on purpose verified ourselves to be an inside source." Then the War CTO posted at 9:18 matching Q drop 918 about coincidences becoming mathematically impossible. The guys break down every contextual reference frame in order. Pete Hegseth confirmed the first successful Golden Dome test using directed energy and the DDAD system to defeat drones and cruise missiles autonomously. Bill Pulte walks into his first day as acting DNI and fires more than fifty career intelligence officials, sending Andy McCabe into a televised meltdown. Plus Trump's new Air Force One with Q clearance comms, John Solomon and Devin Nunes both quietly moved to ODNI, MK Ultra hearings Tuesday, the Hillary Clinton planes on the tarmac admission, and the Great American State Fair kicking off America's 250th tomorrow.
Donald Trump says the Reflecting Pool will need to be drained for repairs to the coating he said would "last for at least 50 years" — blaming vandals for the peeling and algae blooms that have turned his pet project into an instant mess, and ordering federal agents to start making arrests. Jon, Tommy, and Lovett react to the administration's scapegoating then turn to the rest of the news, including the latest from JD Vance's negotiations with Iran, Trump's luxurious renovation of the Qatari jet set to become the new Air Force One, and the beginning of Bill Pulte's term as acting Director of National Intelligence. Then, New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan join Tommy to discuss their new book, "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump," which offers an unparalleled look inside Trump's second term.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Mass firings are said to be underway at the ODNI, the US intelligence agency created to prevent another 9/11. Donald Trump's temporary pick to head it, Bill Pulte, has no intelligence or security experience. Slimming down the DNI office has been a bipartisan issue, but top Democrats are concerned this week's job slashing could pose a national security risk. White House reporter Kevin Liptak joins the show with details.

CannCon and Ghost open the final show before GART week in Deadwood with a Tuesday packed with stories that connect in ways most people are not seeing. An AP investigation with a named whistleblower reveals the DEA knowingly allowed 74,000 fentanyl pills to flood New Mexico between 2023 and 2025 to catch bigger fish while running the "one pill can kill" public campaign at the same time. Bill Pulte walks into ODNI and CNN immediately runs a smear piece while Letitia James attacks his qualifications despite simultaneously backing Jay Clayton, who has identical gaps in intelligence experience. Ghost and CannCon apply the white hat versus black hat framework and explain why neither applies: incentive-based leverage is how this operation actually works. A federal judge blocks the SAVE database cross-referencing Social Security and citizenship data, and CannCon asks the only relevant question: who issues your Social Security number and who determines citizenship status? In geopolitics, Ghost delivers a layered breakdown of Colombia's contested election, tracing the Alex Saab connection to De La Espriella, the Smartmatic globalist pivot of 2014, and why Hispanic neocon Republicans are backing a Maduro ally while publicly opposing Maduro. A viral JD Vance Qatar slight gets debunked with the full video.

Tarabuster Fridays with Tara Devlin. June 19, 2026 ✊
June 20, 2026, 9 AM; Bill Pulte, who is a Trump loyalist and Director of Federal Housing, took over the position Friday. Pulte has no experience in the intelligence world, but he does have a history of doing the president's bidding by launching probes into Trump's perceived enemies. As acting DNI , he's in a position where he can further peddle the president's conspiracy theories on election fraud. Pulte's appointment is not popular, even among some Republicans who are against it. Colordado Secretary of State Jena Griswold joins the weekend to discuss Pulte's appointment.

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week on Juneteenth with a show that covers geopolitics, the courts, and an intelligence battle playing out in real time. JD Vance holds a press conference confirming the Iran MOU is producing results: 12.5 million barrels moved through the Strait of Hormuz the prior night, gas prices dropping below $4, and Iran honoring the agreement for the second night running. CannCon and Chris walk through Vance's pointed message to Israeli cabinet members attacking the deal and his revelation that the US has been funding Lebanon's internal security forces, the ones tasked with rooting out Israeli spy networks. The Supreme Court rules unanimously that the federal government cannot broadly ban marijuana users from owning firearms, with both the ACLU and NRA on the same side. Bill Pulte walks into DNI headquarters and reportedly arrives eyeing hundreds of firings, as Trump simultaneously cancels the Jay Clayton hearing and demands Jamie McDonald be confirmed for SDNY first. Steve Bannon says the quiet part out loud: Pulte knows exactly where Tulsi's election fraud files are. Mark Warner accidentally admits communication companies will keep working with intelligence agencies even after 702 lapsed. Chris Paul closes with his most complete analysis yet of the Tucker-JD Vance-Massey coordinated post-MAGA op.
In this episode of RCP, Miranda Devine of the New York Post and host of the Podcast One podcast joins Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and RCP contributor Richard Porter to discuss her exclusive interview yesterday with President Donald Trump, the nomination of Todd Blanche for Attorney General, and reaction to the naming of Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence.

In their newest mashup, Harry and Molly Jong-Fast trade questions about the president's weak deal with Iran and latest failures in federal courts. Molly wants to know where the slush fund stands and whether the Kennedy Center fiasco is the beginning of the end for Trump's makeover of D.C. Harry asks about the political price the president will pay for the Iran deal, and if Trump can get away with a self-styled “bit of intrigue” aimed at installing ultra-loyalist Bill Pulte at the nexus of the U.S. intelligence services.

Jon Herold and Burning Bright break down the freshly signed US and Iran memorandum of understanding line by line, covering the naval blockade removal, troop withdrawals, the Strait of Hormuz reopening, the $300 billion reconstruction investment that is not a loan from American taxpayers, full sanctions termination, and the nuclear enrichment compromise that allows Iran a civilian program. Burning Bright pulls up his own June 2025 prediction that Trump would eventually allow enrichment, vindicated almost word for word a year later, and the guys walk through what that means for anyone who took Trump's no enrichment rhetoric at face value. They apply their long running inverted premise framework, asking whether Trump has actually been waging war with Israel against Iran rather than the reverse, and how that flips the entire reading of who won this deal. The DNI chaos gets its own segment: Jay Clayton's nomination abruptly canceled, Bill Pulte staying on as acting director, and the argument that Trump deliberately attached unpopular riders to tank both FISA 702 and the Save America Act. New reporting suggests the Presidential Intelligence Advisory Board under Devin Nunez, not Tulsi Gabbard, may be the real source of the upcoming election declassification, possibly timed to Trump's June 24 DC rally.
Tommy and Ben are back with a week of bad deals, high-stakes elections, and World Cup joy.The US and Iran have agreed to a deal to end the war, but the Trump administration has refused to release the text to anyone — so the guys parse through what we think we know. The short version: it's a pretty good deal for Iran that meets almost none of the goals Trump set out before the war started, and the nuclear issue hasn't even been touched yet. Then the guys question if Netanyahu will do something to torpedo the whole thing with his continued war against Lebanon. In England, a special election could reshape British politics and set up a direct challenge to Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Meanwhile, a spate of developments across England, Italy, France, and Switzerland signal increasing growth for far-right movements in Europe. In Trump world, there's both good and very bad news: Trump backed down on installing Bill Pulte as Director of National Intelligence after bipartisan pushback, and the dismantling of USAID continues to have devastating real-world consequences. And finally, with the World Cup in full swing, Tommy and Ben take a moment to enjoy the fans, from Scots drinking their way across, to Mexican and Korean fans bonding over tequila, and Nigerian fans flying all the way to Mexico just to root against South Africa. At the end of the show, Tommy speaks to CNN's Senior International Correspondent Frederik Pleitgen, about what he saw and heard on his latest reporting trip on the ground in Iran.Buy Ben's book All We Say: The Battle for American Identity: A History in 15 Speeches and subscribe to his Substack here.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

The pro-Israel hawks are still reeling from the terms of Trump's initial deal with Iran, which grants access to funds that had been frozen because of the regime's support of terrorism. The neocons got bamboozled by Trump, like so many before them—in this case believing that he would always have Israel's back. On the domestic front, Trump repeatedly lied when he said taxpayers weren't funding his ballroom, and in an act of revenge, he's keeping down and dirty Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence. Plus, the left has a shortage of candidates that can win non-blue states, and a debate over whether social and cultural issues are why Dems often don't resonate with voters.Krystal Ball joins Tim Miller.show notes Krystal's "Breaking Points" "Krystal Kyle & Friends" pod Brendan testing a water sample from the algae-covered reflecting pool Get $35 off your first box of wild-caught, sustainable seafood—delivered right to your door.

June 17, 2026; 4pm: Nicolle Wallace and friends cover Trump's pending deal to end the war with Iran. The Memorandum of Understanding, which was released today, says that Iran would be provided with $300 billion for its reconstruction and economic development. The memorandum also says that Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program – which was the main reason why the U.S. went to war with Iran in the first place. Later, Nicolle discusses the news that Trump has cancelled the scheduled nomination hearing of Jay Claton as DNI in a bid to force Congress to act on his voter ID bill, which currently does not have the votes to pass.

It's Hump Day on The Majority Report On today's program: JD Vance talks to Megyn Kelly why the whole Memorandum of Understanding has not been released, citing certain cultural sensitivities in the region without explaining what that means. The war hawks are not happy with the leaked sections of the Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. and Iran. Former Vice President Mike Pence says on CNN that the preliminary language "smacks of appeasement". Brian Kilmeade on Fox & Friends shares the same sentiment as Pence but he refuses to criticize the president, insisting to his audience that this is Vance's deal.

Glenn breaks down why this event is something to celebrate rather than condemn. Glenn also discusses the big win in New York, as the Knicks won their first championship in over 50 years, but the fans' reaction shows how disturbed some Americans have become. Glenn reacts to the leftist meltdown over Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire and lays out how Elon Musk has earned every penny of that net worth. President Trump selected Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence, and immediately, Democrats and some Republicans threatened to let FISA Section 702 die, something the Left has defended for years. Jason Bartlett is a South African farmer who is seeking asylum in the United States, and he joins to explain what he and his family are going through. Glenn compares Trump's UFC Freedom 250 event to the Left's counter-event, as he argues that this is proof the Right is finally back to winning the culture war. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Scott was joined by his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Michael Feinberg, and Molly Roberts to talk through the week's big news in national security, including:“Blanche Check.” DOJ may soon have a new permanent leader, as President Trump has now formally nominated Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to the role permanently. But to secure Trump's support, Blanche has indulged some of Trump's most concerning instincts, as evidenced by the attempt to establish an anti-weaponization fund for Trump allies and renewed indictments of figures like former FBI Director James Comey. Meanwhile, DOJ has seen scandal after scandal during Blanche's tenure over the rapidly declining quality and credibility of its work, exemplified most recently by evidence of grand jury tampering, arguably, in the Broadview Six prosecutions. What should we expect of DOJ under a confirmed Blanche? And how enduring will some of the harm that may result be for the department?“Tinker, Tailor, Realtor, Spy.” President Trump's decision to dual-hat Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte—a man with no national security experience, who is best known for using his role at the FHFA to facilitate some of Trump's most transparent attacks on perceived political enemies—as Acting Director of National Intelligence has triggered strong reactions across the political spectrum. This includes a threat by congressional Democrats to kill renewal of Section 702 surveillance authorities if Pulte remains in the acting position. But Trump has thus far refused to back down. What does Pulte's appointment—and the potential expiration of Section 702—mean for national security?“Pratt Falls.” The open primary in the Los Angeles mayor's race is over, and Trump-endorsed candidate Spencer Pratt finished just outside the final two who will proceed into the general election. But U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, a Trump loyalist, has suggested that voter fraud investigations are ongoing, leading some other Republican officials and leaders to call the results into question. What should we make of these unsubstantiated allegations? And are they a preview of what Republicans have planned for 2026? In object lessons, Mike is kraken himself up over his plans to create the ultimate toy for his child. Ben is announcing the beta release of RAGtime, the tool that he (and Claude) developed to comb through large, messy datasets. Scott is heating things up in his backyard with his new Gozney pizza oven. And Molly is quacking up about her mallard, acquired from (the now unfortunately closed) Archipelago in Maine.
