Robert PapeGUEST
So Joe Kent here, I know the leaders.
Michael MorellGUEST
You know, the first thing I'd say, Charlie, is that I can't tell you how many people over the years...
Michael MorellGUEST
When I was at CIA, I would go to the Hill, meet with Congress people, that they would say, "How come you haven't caught bin Laden?" [laughs] Um, CIA's head of the Counterterrorism Center got fro-- so frustrated answering that question that he finally just started answering it by saying, "Because he's hiding." Um, and the truth is, when somebody wants to drop off the planet, they can.
Michael MorellGUEST
Um, it took the FBI 17 years to find the Unabomber.
Michael MorellGUEST

We, we had at that point, um, a counterterrorism meeting every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon in the director's conference room, which is a big place.
Michael MorellGUEST
We probably had 40 people in there for these, these counterterrorism updates, we called them.
Michael MorellGUEST
And at the end of one in August, I think it was August 20th, um, the head of the Counterterrorism Center said to Leon Panetta and to me, "I need to see the two of you alone." That didn't happen very often.
Michael MorellGUEST
And so we go into the director's office.

Athanasius Atta BakindoGUEST
So, different sources of weapons and And if you look at, if you come to the National Counterterrorism Center, there's a whole department on small and light weapons.
Athanasius Atta BakindoGUEST
And you look at the data, it's shocking.
Athanasius Atta BakindoGUEST
The kind of light weapons being distributed across Nigeria.
Alex JonesHOST
Why don't you go after the trans people saying they'll be dead tomorrow?" And this Zinn character that jumped up and just said, "I did it, I did it," and a bunch of people jumping up right when the gunshot goes off who aren't scared, looking back over their shoulder saying, "Great job." That's all on video.
Alex JonesHOST
So that adds a lot of credence to foreign involvement when Kash Patel kills flags that the National Counterterrorism Center got and other agencies of foreign involvement and domestic.
Alex JonesHOST
Why is there a cover-up of what really went on? And then the family says, "No, he's not really guilty," and, uh, n-now he's pled not guilty.
Alex JonesHOST
And then you see the videos of who's on the roof, and it's not a 30-odd-60.
Max BlumenthalSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Anthony AguilarGUEST
And then prior to that, her deputy at the Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, he resigned and he said the same thing.
Anthony AguilarGUEST
