second, the cia has become too bureaucratic. i realize allen dulles probably have the same complaint just five years after the cia was created. but this also gotten worse in recent years. in no small part thanks to former director brennan is so-called modernization. lines of authority have grown blurry, , talkers have replaced doors, managers with no field experience have taken over operational roles and more. much like a military the ratio is badly out of balance. third, the cia's analysis and priorities have been politicized pic intelligence analysis all too often has applied curiously with the biden administration's policy preferences. the afghan army is strong and cohesive. ukraine's army will collapse within days of russia's invasion of israel can't possibly destroy hamas or hezbollah, iran and defenses are mighty interesting. time and again the cia has produced an accurate analysis that conveniently justifies president biden's actions, , ors often his inaction. likewise the cia misplaced is py said yielded too many reports

what the cia now says was the likely cause of the pandemic. we're breaking it down with one of john ratcliffe's highest ranking former deputies. >> it's been clear for me for five years, and it's clear to many people, the cia, the fbi, the department of energy, and most people around the world that by far the most likely origin of covid-19 is a lab accident in wuhan. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks! —uh. —here i'll take that.

and that includes the cia.w, one of the things the president stressed, you know, the purpose of the cia is to protect americans, to keep us safe from foreign threats and foreign adversaries. but we also need to be truthful with americans. and he he has stressed to me and others that, you know, these aren't mutually exclusive missions. we can to do both. so in the case of the cia which is the best foreign intelligence service in the world, after five years to not have a public assessment, to be honest with the american people about where the likely source of a pandemic that killed millions around the world including a million americans and really impacted all 345 million americans in system way, people lost -- in some way, people lost jobs, they lost houses, that they lost their health, their businesses, all of that. and so i had the opportunity on my first day to make public an assessment that actually took place mt. biden administration. -- in the biden administration. so it can't be accused of being political

did the cia expect the work to make the bronx gag? off with a tough one. >> you say it's not real. >> emily, you only $100.

essentially changed what the cia has been saying.he cia joins the fbi and the energy department in ids a lab leak as a possible source source for what is going on. he was on with marie yesterday. and had this observation about hey, you know what? we looked at the stuff and this is what we think: >> we have to restore americans' trust in our own institutions like the intelligence community and law enforcement, and so in the case of the cia best foreign intelligence service in the world. after five years to not have a public assessment, to be honest with the american people about where the likely source of a pandemic that killed millions around the world, including a million americans and really impacted all 345 million americans in some way, i had the opportunity on my first day to maker public an assessment that took place during the biden administration. it can't be accused of being political. it does assess and the cia has assessed that the most likely cause of this pandemic that has wrought so much devastation around the world was

mike: you made reference to newly-confirmed cia director john ratcliffe.out making this public with maria bartiromo. let's play it. >> you know, the covid origin's assessment, making that public, president trump needs to have the very best intelligence so what when he's negotiating with president xi, he's able to confront if them with the things that we know. now that it's out there, he'll be able to use that, to leverage that. mike: considering how much covid turned our lives upside down, ruined careers, ruined businesses, doesn't the public have a right to know? >> the public has a right to know. the public had a right to know in january of 2020. the public has a right to know whether it was already spreading in 2019 which i believe it was. and i want to emphasize something we were faced with in early 2020. we had a virus that wasn't described to us properly. it made us a lot sicker than we were told. we ended up with a lot of blood clots we had to treat, nobody told us that. we needed international cooperation among scientists which is what tony fauci t

senators will hear from john ratcliffe, trump's pick to lead the cia.oining me now is david rhode, nbc news senior executive editor for national security. he's a pulitzer prize winning investigative reporter. he's the author of the book where tyranny begins the justice department, the fbi, and the war on democracy. david, good to see you. thank you for being here and in person. john ratcliffe, on the spectrum of donald trump appointees to important positions. when i say important, i mean about national security, law enforcement, things like that. he's not at the extreme end. he's not likely in major danger of not getting confirmed. >> yeah, i think that's accurate. i would say pete hegseth, the nominee for the defense department secretary, and tulsi gabbard, the director of national intelligence, are more of a concern. and then as well, kash patel, the fbi one of the reasons ratcliffe is we've had a couple of chances to sort of see him in action. >> he has been in congress. he has had vetting. they don't seem to be a lot of sort of personal issues that

now the cia says this: cia assesses with low confidence that a research-related origin of the covid-19n a natural origin. cia continues to assess that both research-related and natural origin scenarios of the covid-19 pandemic repain. [applause] if,. no new intelligence has been found to back up this shift. instead, the new york times reports the c -- cia is working on the same evidence it's had for months. former national security adviser jake sullivan ordered a new assessment of covid's origins at the end of the biden administration, and the director bill burns asked agency analysts to take a stand one way or the other. new cia director john ratcliffe ordered for the analysis to be declassified. ratcliffe has long been a proponent of the lab leak theory. he even co-authored opinion piece on fox news digital back in march 2023 stating that the biden administration wanted to avoid the see -- geopolitical implications that came with concluding it came from the lab. here's ratcliffe speaking with maria bartiromo on "sunday morning futures" this morning. >> i think it was important for th

if that's the best the cia has, pull their funding. i'm not in the cia, and i knew this right away.i mean, the wuhan lab tarted to disappear -- started to disappear -- or china started to disappear scientists from the wuhan lab who were raising alarms about this. doctors who were starting to see patients, they were disappearing them. red flag, hello. and also the wuhan lab was doing covid and coronavirus studies. hike, duh. [laughter] -- like, duh. and this was all deliberately, you know, hidden by fauci. and this is what concerns me, you guys. it's the not just the lack of transparency,, the lack of accountability. the fact that paw if chi got a pardon, and he will -- fauci got a pardon, and he will never if bear responsibility at least from a federal level. i talked to you, and you said he could still face state charges. but the man did a huge disservice, responsible for hundreds, millions of deaths, and he will not be held responsible. that's a problem. charlie: and this is your weekly reminder that government comes up with the most absurd things, and nothing's more absurd than t

cia is more significant.s bringing it back, this is extremely important and will restore some level of trust but not with an idea that we can control what china is doing in the shroud that they put over these things, i'm still worried about that. >> president trump promised to reinstate and reimburse service members who were charred under discharge for taking the covid vaccine is a big deal announced today, what do you think of it. >> as you know i'm for the covid vaccine but their 17 vaccines that the military take and the response is drastic and i think president trump is absolutely right to reinstate members into reimburse them. we are trying to get more people into the military, pete hegseth will inspire them and i think we don't have enough military recruits, the last thing they needed was to be thrown out because of this they needed to be worked with and talk to and not thrown out. stuart: doctor siegel, thank you for joining us you soon. the news coming thick and fast we are watching your money in the

as cia director mr. ratcliffe will have to make decisions based on fact. sometimes these facts will lead to inconvenient conclusions for his superiors and the president. it's in those cases where truth, not fiction, not ideology, must prevail. and i have my doubts that mr. ratcliffe will be able to hold firm. most troubling about mr. ratcliffe were the answers i got from him about tulsi gabbard, president trump's nominee to serve as director of national intelligence. if confirmed ms. gabbard would oversee the cia and i think she would be disruptive for american security. if there is anyone who has not been fact based as you've listened to her statements over the years is tulsi gabbard. she seems to make things up out of thin air. no one could be worse in a position of dni than someone who doesn't believingin facts. i told mr. ratcliffe he should urge mr. trump to drop her nomination. he couldn't report to somebody like tulsi gabbard in good conscious. she is too risky. she has a history of cheering america's adversaries. if confirmed i'm worried she'll pus

there was no new intelligence to back up the cia's conclusions.tead, it's based on a fresh look into the evidence that the agency already had. new cia director john ratcliffe, confirmed by the senate on thursday, ordered for the analysis to be declassified. he has long supported the lab leak theory. here he is speaking with maria bartiromo on sunday morning futures. >> i think we'll get to the point where every intelligence agency in the united states will agree with the cia's assessment that the most likely outcome was from from a lab in wuhan. and we'll get more intelligence as time goes by. and we'll be transparent with the american people about what that intelligence says. >> ratcliffe says the agency is not bending to his views as the findings were completed before his arrival. the cia says it will continue to evaluate credible new intelligence that could change its assessment. in washington, mala rivera, fox news. >> hamas has agreed to release three more hostages on thursday. now, in return, israel will allow displaced palestinians to retur

that cia is changing its assessment on how cocoa19 began.an china. the shift which began under the biden administration comes days after john ratcliffe was sworn in as cia director. madeleine rivera has more. >> are two main theories how cocoa19 began. there is a theory that virus came from a market in wuhan china and then there is a theory the virus came from a lab leak. for years the cia said it did not have enough information to make a final determination. the cia says it assesses with low confidence eight research related origin of the covid 19 pandemic is more likely that a natural origin base of the available body of reporting for this analysis comes after for fr national security advisor jake sullivan quartered in the waning days of the biden administration a new assessment into the virus origins. cia previous director bill burns had asked agency analyst to take a stand one way or the other there's no new intelligence to back up the conclusions instead it is based on a fresh look into the evidence of the agency already had. new cia di

that's from the cia there.termination on where the pandemic was rooted. during that time, those who floated the wuhan lab leak theory were cast off by the main stream as conspiracy theaters. senator tom cotton had early pushback on that. he reacted to the update on fox news sunday. >> i didn't have access to classified intelligence or scientific knowledge i just used common sense and looked at the facts and understood what chinese communists do. >> reporter: dr. anthony fauci denied accusations he worked to sway americans believing as he did that the virus came from an animal ensuring in testimony last year that the wuhan lab theory itself wasn't a conspiracy but -- >> what is conspiracy is the kind of distortions of that particular subject, like it was a lab leak and i was parachuted into the cia like jason borne and told the cia that they should really not be talking about a lab leak. >> thank you. >> that's the conspiracy. >> appreciate it. >> reporter: he wrapped it up there saying that's the conspiracy. th

well, donald trump's pick to lead the cia to serve as cia director face questions in his confirmatione are brand new concerns about his choice for director of national intelligence tulsi gabbard, how the intelligence community will be revamped in a second trump presidency, and the dangers it could pose to this region and all us national security. we'll have that conversation next. and later, the announcement of the cease fire between israel and hamas is a major achievement, as president joe biden winds down his presidency, he'll make his farewell address to the nation tonight, and his white house press secretary, karine jean-pierre, will be our guest later in the hour deadline. white house continues after a quick break. don't go anywhere. >> 48% of americans don't get enough magnesium, which is vital for bone, nerve and muscle health. i recommend qanon magnesium glycinate. it's formulated for high absorption formulated for high absorption and is gentle when you're a small-business owner, your to-do list can be...a lot. ♪♪ super helpful. ♪♪ [ cheering ] what are invoices? progressive m

twist called "fbi: cia."! this is the perfect addition to the extended fbi-verse: there's "fbi: international," "fbi", "fbi: most wanted," "fbi: true" and, the sexy, adult spinoff "fbi: bbl: dtf." that of course pg-13. all of these shows are imagineered by cbs television chemists to be the kind of edge-of-your seat procedural thrillers that pop-pop can still follow after the beta blockers kick in. the premise of "fbi: cia"? "a dedicated, strait-laced fbi agent and a street-smart cia agent are part of a new, clandestine taskforce charged with solving and preventing domestic terrorism in and around new york city." that's right, "fbi: cia" in nyc, starring ice-t's new york cousin, "long island ice-t." my only quibble here is that i'm not sure new york needs more law enforcement, fictional or otherwise. there are already five cops watching me swipe into the subway. why? i'm 60. there's already a system in place to stop me from jumping the turnstile. and it's not the fbi -- it's the acl. i cannot wait for all the

. >> now, the cia on another topic, dr. siegel, is a agreeing with the theory it seems covid-19 did come from a lab leak, we were saying that in 2020. supporting the lack leak theory. what took them so long? >>this is huge. because the cia is the agency we really want to listen to about what is happening on foreign soil. what is being suppressed. i remember in early 2020 when tom cotton who is now head of the senate intelligence community where he belongs was being ridiculed and mocked. we were covering him on tv laura, you was, i was. we took him very seriously while tony fauci and others were suppressing the lab leak theory but look at all the evidence for it. where did this virus come from. how come it started spreading wildly. what happens in that lab. how come people getting sick in the lab and being sent to the hospitals in the summer of 2019? how come we didn't hear about any of this? how come and this is the part that involves the w.h.o., the w.h.o. was saying china bought the world time and china, it was only a reg

but he was not in the cia. until he became cia director 1981. so people are saying what he was a lawyer what was he doing? no he really was wired. and he was working it. and he was israeli intelligence as as the shah was toppled. and i also want ask just giving your back around covering this story, i know you said you were employed for a couple of years because of the lawsuit, the conspiracy theorist label getting fired. but as sort of more time passed continued working on this. what were the implications of some of that blowback and how did some of that blowback evolve over time time? well, the dust settled i think i began to realize, you know, i sort of it took me forever to figure out who i, i was. and to be honest, i there were at least two types of disinformation. i think there was disinformation sent by israel to up in people's faces and discredit them and i think there were some some of the people, you know, there were three or four pilots who piloted jets and supposedly made these secret flights. and it was very hard to ferret out who wa

maria: it is significant that the cia is finally admitting this because it was the cia that kept sayinged evidence. what gets me is when tom cotton came on sunday marty futures and "mornings with maria" february 2020 in march of 2020 he kept saying the same thing he got slammed by the maniacs and social media. he told the truth and based on his assessment and knowledge of the chinese communist party in the backdrop offered the most pliable ideas into get slammed for. >> it was considered racist that there might've been a lab accident in wuhan but not considered racist to think of people eat bats it's a little strange. from the beginning there were pictures of the hospital parking lots beginning in october filling up in wuhan there were so many clues that china had a dna sequencing of the disease way before they should have or could have if in fact it was a big shock from the wet market in wuhan. this is another example president trump being right, he was a racist for saying they came out of the wuhan lab, he was totally right, the fbi was on this a while ago, where has the cia been that

we know cia directors. we know from movies and books what they do. talk to me about the director of national intelligence and its significance in this dangerous world in which we exist. >> well, the director of national intelligence was established by congress back in 2004. prior to that, the director of the cia also was in charge of the entire intelligence community. but since 2004, the director of national intelligence has had the responsibility to orchestrate the activities, the programs, the missions of these 18 intelligence agencies and make sure that they're well coordinated as well as well funded. in addition, the director of national intelligence is the president's principal intelligence advisor, and in that role, the director of national intelligence oversees the production of the president's daily brief, referred to as the pdb. this is the daily intelligence product that goes into the president, into about two dozen other senior officials. so it's a very, very important role. and it's a complicated role because of the many different intelli

trump also removed the protection for his former cia director and secretary of state mike pompeo. pompeo and one of pompeo's former top aides, brian hook, both of whom also allegedly face iranian death threats for their role in soleimani's killing. trump told reporters on thursday, quote, when you have protection, you can't have it for the rest of your life. i mean, there's risks to everything. end quote. notably, trump was also the subject of an alleged iranian assassination plot relating to the soleimani killing in november. days after the election, the justice department charged an iranian man for involvement in an alleged effort to kill trump when he was the republican presidential candidate less than a month earlier. then president biden reportedly has had his aides warn iran that killing trump or any other former u.s. government official would be considered an act of war. joining me now to discuss this is the ambassador, john bolton. he served as one of president trump's multiple national security advisors during his first administration. he also served as america's ambassad
