Podcasts about senate intelligence committee

John is joined by Mark Warner, ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and Lincoln Project founder Rick Wilson to discuss the story eclipsing all other political news this week: Signalgate. Although Warner is a consensus-seeking moderate Democrat and Wilson a bomb-throwing NeverTrump Republican, in their long careers both have come across their share of recklessness, sloppiness, and stupidity in the realm of national security. But neither has seen a more extravagant display of those defects than the Signal group chat in which Trump 2.0 officials shared sensitive details about the recent U.S. attack on Houthi rebels ahead of the attack. Warner and Wilson try to fathom the unfathomable while cataloging the vast risks involved and the deep lack of seriousness the episode suggests about Trump's foreign policy team.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe were on Capitol Hill Tuesday for what was supposed to be a routine annual hearing in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Except it ended up being anything but routine, coming one day after The Atlantic published a damning report about how top Trump officials shared imminent battle plans in a private group chat on Signal. President Donald Trump and other top White House officials spent the day insisting no classified information was shared in that group chat. Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, explains why their claims are hard to believe.And later in the show, Wall Street Journal National Security reporter Alex Ward talks about why Signal-gate is such a big deal.And in headlines: Russia and Ukraine agree to a partial ceasefire, the Department of Homeland Security said it has stopped processing some Green Card applications, and some Florida lawmakers have a solution to fill jobs vacated by deported migrants: child labor!Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8Support victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefWhat A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- According to reports, The Atlantic's editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently added to a Signal group chat with Trump Administration officials discussing planned military strikes against Houthi fighters in Yemen. Spokesman for the White House National Security Council Brian Hughes said the messages Goldberg received appear to be “authentic.” In Goldberg's report, he noted that National Security Advisor Michael Waltz was responsible for the mistake and that he may have also violated a federal records law—as Waltz set some of the messages exchanged on Signal to auto-delete after one week. While speaking with the press from the White House on Tuesday, President Donald Trump defended Waltz and suggested he doubts his cabinet officials will rely on Signal for group discussions moving forward. 3:10pm- During Wednesday's Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, Congressman Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) outlandishly asked if Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was drunk when he decided to use Signal to communicate with other Trump Administration officials. In response, CIA Director John Ratcliffe adroitly noted that the attack against Houthi terrorists was wildly successful, and Rep. Gomez's claims are baseless. 3:20pm- While appearing on CNBC, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) attacked the Trump Administration for using Signal to communicate with one another prior to an attack on Houthi terrorists. Host Joe Kernen pointed out that Sen. Warner didn't seem to be nearly as outraged over the Biden Administration's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. 3:30pm- Steve Grillo—former Howard Stern Show intern—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his brand-new book, “Gorilla Parts.” What was the driving force behind Howard Stern's political U-turn? Grillo believes Stern just desperately wants to be accepted by Hollywood A-listers and he can't achieve that by embracing Donald Trump. Grillo notes that Stern is ostensibly attacking his old audience. PLUS, he tells a bunch of wild stories including partying with George Clooney!

Rich notes that in 2024, no one in the Biden Administration was fired when Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin disappeared for weeks as the result of a medical procedure. CNN reported that President Joe Biden wasn't aware for days about Austin's hospitalization. Meanwhile, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks was on vacation in Puerto Rico—responsibilities transferred to her when Austin was hospitalized. 4:15pm- While speaking with Newsmax, President Donald Trump called The Atlantic's editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg a “loser.” 4:40pm- On Wednesday, NPR and PBS executives testified before the DOGE subcommittee on overtly political content being funded by taxpayers.

Jim Jordan (R-OH), President and CEO of National Public Radio Katherine Maher conceded that they made a mistake by not covering the Hunter Biden laptop story prior to the 2020 presidential election. 4:50pm- According to the Los Angeles Times, Ben Affleck has “lost interest” in playing Batman. Rich rejoices. 5:05pm- Hate Crime Hoax: The Allentown Police Department has arrested LaTarsha Brown—an Allentown City employee. Investigators allege that she placed a noose on her own desk then reported the incident—which led to FBI and Pennsylvania State Police involvement. Investigators were able to use video surveillance and forensic DNA to conclude that Brown was responsible. 5:30pm- From the Oval Office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order placing a 25% tariff on imported cars. The tariffs will go into effect on April 2nd. According to The New York Times, 1 million—of the 2.3 million—Toyotas sold in the United States last year were manuf ...

Several of President Donald Trump's top national security officials, at times with assistance from a top Senate Republican, shifted responsibility to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for sending potentially classified information that appeared in a group chat about US military strikes in Yemen that a journalist was included in. Under sharp questioning from outraged Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard repeatedly denied that the chat contained classified information.

Episode 4363: Senate Intelligence Committee On World Wide Threats Not A Search For Truth Cont.

On this week's episode, Andrew and Mary start with the major capitulation of the Paul, Wiess law firm to Trump's demands late last week, in exchange for rescinding an EO targeting the firm. This is the chilling effect they've been talking about in action. Then: what are the consequences of the Trump administration defying court orders from US District Chief Judge James Boasberg? The deportation of Venezuelan migrants without due process seems to be careening into that constitutional question, so Andrew and Mary break down the latest on that case, as the government invokes the “state secrets privilege”. And lastly, they detail the legal issues surrounding the now-infamous Signal chat reported by The Atlantic- an extraordinary demonstration of gross negligence when it comes to national defense information. Further reading: Here is Mary's piece on Just Security: Dissecting the Trump Administration's Strategy for Defying Court OrdersAnd here is Andrew's piece, also from Just Security: The New “Blacklists” Work When Law Firms Stay SilentAnd here is the criminal code Andrew and Mary referenced: 18 U.S. Code § 793 - Gathering, transmitting or losing defense informationWant to listen to this show without ads?

A Tuesday hearing had been previously scheduled for senior Trump administration officials to share an annual global threat assessment with the Senate Intelligence Committee. Instead, Democratic senators spent much of the time grilling them about their involvement in a Signal group chat in which Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of the Atlantic, had been erroneously included. Screenshots shared by Goldberg showed top officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, discussing a U.S. plan to launch airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen. They shared precise information about weapons and timing. Host Colby Itkowitz is joined by national security reporters Dan Lamothe and Abigail Hauslohner to discuss the security risks this poses and how the administration and Congress are responding. Today's episode was produced by Sabby Robinson and Ted Muldoon, who also mixed the show. It was edited by Lucy Perkins, with help from Peter Bresnan.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

US and Ukrainian officials will meet on March 12 to talk peace in Eastern Europe; a new US approach to China may or may not be in the works; and the Trump administration's gas-brake approach to imposing tariffs on trade partners has a Hoover economist baffled.  Arkansas senator Tom Cotton, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee and author of Seven Things You Can't Say About China, joins Hoover senior fellows John Cochrane and H.R. McMaster to discuss the latest in Ukraine and his concerns over China's military, economic, and cultural hegemony. After that: The fellows dig deeper into the economic and strategic ramifications of Trump's tariff ploys, followed by a “lightning round,” including the merits of a US “crypto strategic reserve”; the renaming an army fort in Georgia (H.R. having known the late general whose name was removed); the creator of Hamilton refusing to play a “Trumpier” Kennedy Center; plus what the two would give up for Lent if so inclined.    Recorded on March 7, 2025.

While much of this past week's attention was on the war In Ukraine and the Trump Administration's talks with Russia, a prominent Republican Senator says America can not lose focus on another international foe. Senator Tom Cotton has written a book, “Seven Things You Can't Say About China,” which aims to give an honest, unflinching assessment of China's threats. This past Tuesday, Sen. Cotton joined Dave Anthony of the Rundown to explain how China became America's most dangerous enemy, the subtle ways China has infiltrated the United States, and how we must respond as a nation. The Arkansas Republican explained why he's very concerned about TikTok's links to China and the Chinese Communist Party's use of the social media platform to collect data and influence. The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee also discussed what it would be like if China “won” and became the globe's leading superpower. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today, on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Senator Tom Cotton, allowing you to hear more about his concerns about China and what actions Washington must take.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have on the show for the second time: Raytheon whistleblower, former Navy firefighter and contractor for Raytheon, Stargate Project and MK ULTRA survivor, travel lover, my dear friend, and a man on a mission to help circumnavigate the gatekeepers of the ‘disclosure commodity' market: Eric HeckerToday, we have the honor of once again speaking with Eric Hecker, a whistleblower whose story not only shocks but also shines a light on the dark corners of governmental secrecy.Eric is coming forward today to share his astonishing and harrowing first-hand account from his time at the South Pole Facility in Antarctica, where he witnessed what he describes as highly advanced directed energy weapons, or 'DEWs', being utilized in ways that he believes - and that we know from corroborating testimony on this channel - constitute crimes against humanity. His experiences are not just alarming; they are deeply disturbing, and his sworn testimony before Congress has brought these issues to light in a way that demands our attention.We've explored DEWs, electronic mind control, and the targeting of individuals—often referred to as 'targeted individuals' or 'TIs'—on this podcast before. However, what sets Eric's testimony apart is his willingness to discuss a lesser-known aspect of his life that we discussed in the first episode we did together: his childhood involvement in the CIA's Stargate and MK ULTRA projects. His decision to speak about these experiences sheds new light on how his early life influenced his later career paths, including his role as a contractor for Raytheon in Antarctica.For those new to this topic, the Stargate Project was a secretive government mind control and behavioral modification project aimed at harnessing psychic and psionic abilities using children and humans for military and intelligence purposes, primarily through remote viewing. This context is crucial to understanding the full scope of Eric's journey.Eric's presence here today is driven by a profound moral obligation to expose the hidden darkness within our society, particularly the links between public disclosure, child behavior modification, UAPs, electronic warfare, and government-sponsored child slavery. His courage in addressing these interconnected issues is rare and vital, as he seeks to connect dots that most are afraid to touch.

Hosts: Erin Rider and Guest Host Jason Perry  Pres. Trump addresses the nation following deadly plane crash  It's the most talked-about story today -- the deadly crash in the skies between a regional passenger jet and a military helicopter, resulting in the deaths of more than 60 people. President Trump addressed the nation earlier and confirmed what many had been dreading... that there were no survivors. Inside Sources begins with a discussion on this important national story.   Gabbard, Patel face Senate confirmation hearings  Senate confirmation hearings continued on Capitol Hill today as Senators grill President Trump's nominees about their pasts. Today, Tulsi Gabbard spoke to the Senate Intelligence Committee as part of the process to become the director of national intelligence. Kash Patel, Trump’s pick for FBI director, also faced difficult questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Inside Sources hosts share their big takeaways from the hearings.    On the Hill 2025: Legislation addressing drug pricing  A large PAC is campaigning against a bill currently being discussed on Utah’s Capitol Hill. The bill, SB69: Medication Amendments, is being sponsored by State Senator Evan Vickers. His legislation addresses the 340B drug program, which several large national groups do not like. State Representative Steve Eliason is an expert on the program and knows the bill well; he joins the show to explain.    On the Hill 2025: Legislation proposing Election Day become a state holiday  Our special coverage of Utah's Legislative Session continues with a look at a bill that would designate Election Day as a state holiday. The idea has been floated around the country for years now, and some states actually do have Election Day set aside as a state holiday. Utah is not one of those states, but State Representative Ryan Wilcox hopes to change that. He joins Inside Sources to discuss the motivations behind the bill.    Pres. Trump proposes sending criminal illegal immigrants to Guantanamo Bay  Guantanamo Bay is back in the news today, as President Trump directs the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security to house criminals set to be deported from the United States. It's part of his plans to crack down on illegal immigration and secure the southern border. Inside Sources host Erin Rider and guest host Jason Perry share their insights into this plan.    Projecting the rise – or possible fall – of the federal deficit under Pres. Trump  As President Trump has taken office and began working on his agenda, one question has been brought up several times, especially by very conservative members of the Republican Party: how will these decisions affect the national debt? Mike Murphy, Senior Vice President at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget joined the program before the inauguration; he joins us again to update his predictions.    Pentagon agency pauses celebrations for ‘diversity’ holidays  Federal agencies have been directed to end Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. Now, we're getting a better idea and look at how these programs will be discontinued. The Defense Department's intelligence agency recently sent out a memo saying it's pausing observances of diversity-related holidays. Inside Sources looks into the relationship between this move and President Trump’s agenda.    Air taxis moving towards the future in Utah  The future is coming into reality here in Utah, as the plan to launch air taxis moves forward. A new bill in the state legislature makes several propositions to advance air mobility. Inside Sources finishes with a discussion on the future of transportation.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Raytheon whistleblower, former Navy firefighter and contractor for Raytheon, Stargate Project and MK ULTRA survivor, travel lover, and a man on a mission to help circumnavigate the gatekeepers of the ‘disclosure commodity' market: Eric HeckerWhen I met Eric, I was familiar with his story of being a whistleblower for witnessing highly advanced directed energy weapons – which we often call ‘DEWs' on this podcast – being used for crimes against humanity during his time at the South Pole Facility in Antarctica he was stationed at and has testified to congress under oath about. Having listened to a few of Eric's interviews, it's shocking, alarming, and very disturbing to listen to his first-hand experiences and to consider the implications on humanity that his claims hold. While we have spoken in length on this podcast about DEWS, electronic mind control, and how these advanced technologies are being used to target individuals – also known as ‘targeted individuals' or ‘TI's' – but what most other interviews featuring Eric haven't touched much on are his experiences as a child having been sold into the CIA's Stargate and MK ULTRA projects. I was really thrilled when Eric agreed to come shine a light on this part of his testimony today, and how his childhood experiences may add context to the path he took as an adult and the things he saw and experienced in Antarctica.We know from listening to survivor testimonies on this show that there are very little coincidences in a survivor's life and that much of their life has been engineered and manufactured to fulfill different roles and duties in society – unbeknownst to them. I believe that Eric's full disclosure of what he went through as a child will really bring validity and insight as to how and why he ended up in Antarctica as a contractor for Raytheon to begin with.For context on Stargate Project - if you are new here - and according to Wikipedia: “The Stargate Project was a secret US Army unit established in 1977 at Fort Meade, Maryland, by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and SRI International – which, if you guys remember, we have had 3 Stanford Research Institute (AKA SRI) survivors on this podcast - to investigate the potential for psychic phenomena in military and domestic intelligence applications. The Stargate Project's work primarily involved remote viewing and the purported ability to psychically "see" events, sites, or information from a great distance.” Eric comes to us today to disclose and share some of the most vulnerable moments of his life out of a personal and moral obligation to shine a light on the darkness that exists in the world that is all but hidden from the general public. While there appears to be a concerted effort to control the mainstream disclosure movement, it will be heroes like Eric who help us break through the controlled narrative by connecting public disclosures of all kinds to child behavior modification programs and government-sponsored child slavery – something very few have the courage to do. It's the piece that is missing from most disclosure movements. Eric is extremely passionate about helping to bring awareness to organized child abuse and crimes being committed against innocent children through our government and governments all over the world, and he is one of the few whistleblowers that was asked to give testimony for both the Senate Intelligence Committee and AARO. His shared testimony will be getting entered into the National Archives.CONNECT WITH ERIC: Website: Home - Deciphering My ExperienceSupport the show
