RUSH EXCERPT:POLYMEROPOULOS: "Well, first, let’s start with the notion of tulsi resigning. I mean, I think this was long expected. You know, if you lose the president’s ear, if you lose access, that’s kind of intelligence. Chief 101 in Washington. You know, you have to leave. There was you know, there was an incredible event. You know, many years ago, Jim woolsey was President Clinton’s CIA director. A small plane crashed on the White House lawn. And the joke in Washington was that was woolsey trying to get in to see President Clinton. He didn’t have that access either. So, tulsi, leaving is something that whether you’re from the right or the left, I think was was certainly expected. But the question you raised is a very good one. You know, does this affect CIA’s intelligence gathering, human intelligence? That’s when we run spies penetrating foreign governments. The answer is no. Same thing for the national security agency. That signals intelligence collection. And one of the things that’s going to be really interesting is, as Aaron lucas, the deputy, now takes over in an acting capacity. You know, what, what becomes of the office of the director of national intelligence, an entity that was created in the reforms after September 11th. But there’s a lot of people, especially people on the hill, like senator Tom Cotton, the chairman of the Senate select committee on intelligence, who wants to see a much diminished role of the of the DNI. So I don’t think this really has an effect on national security, but it certainly was was time for for tulsi to go because she lost the ear of the president. And that’s not a tenable situation."
