President's Intelligence Advisory Board

All were granted anonymity to share sensitive details about the agency that have not been previously reported.

Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg, a private equity billionaire and former head of the White House's Intelligence Advisory Board during President Donald Trump's first term, led the push inside the Pentagon to create the new agency.

Tom Racoosin Whack job.

We call him Racoosin.

You have now this White House Transparency Task Force.

I know that the White House Counsel and some of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board is part of, and they're continuing to put out more and more documents and declassify them.

I do think that we need to recognize there are hundreds of thousands of employees across, not just, you know, this isn't just in the intelligence community, in the national security space.

It's also at HHS, FDA.

The American people, our beautiful, our great American people, But that all changes right now.

The documents we will release starting tonight have been gathered by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, a great group of people, along with the staff of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, supported by our top intelligence agency chiefs, who have all personally reviewed the findings We are presenting this evening and fully confirmed their authenticity.

You can see these documents for yourself at whitehouse.gov. That's whitehouse.gov. Go check it out.

Our purpose in disclosing this information is not to weaken confidence in election, but to earn that confidence by confronting vulnerabilities and correcting them very, very quickly.

Contrary to what Ross Coulthart said there, Devin Nunes is not part of the National Security Council.

Nunes is chairman of the president's intelligence advisory board, which is a low profile panel made up mostly of private citizens that advises the president on intelligence matters.

As such, Nunes has no operational authority over any intelligence community organization whatsoever.

although the panel has fairly broad authority to gather intelligence-related information.

Yeah, and I looked into it, right, to verify it for myself, and this is Devin Nunes' position.

Devin Gerald Nunes is an American businessman and politician who has served as the chairman of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board since January 20, 2025, and as chief executive officer of the Trump Media and Technology Group.

He does not work for the National Security Council, as Ross Coulthart is saying.

Again, really hard to trust Ross's sources.

Endemic to the White House, to the Oval Office.

I mean, I had to go in 2000 and a 2009 began in 2010 and testified to the President's Intelligence Advisory Board as to the quality of the information that Barack Obama was receiving about the war in Afghanistan.

I mean, Senator Chuck Hagel and Senator David Boren were the co-chairs of the PAB at that point.

They fully understood and they were fully saying to me, you know, as well as anyone who listened, the president is not getting accurate information on the Afghan war.

Yeah, I can imagine.

And then in between, you know, being the chairman of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board was a chance to serve without actually going back into government, which I will never do.

And, you know, a number of nonprofit pieces, the podcast, that sort of thing.

As far as the book goes, I retired in 2015 in the summertime.

She was the Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Policy and Capabilities and the Associate Director for Intelligence and International Affairs at the OMB office.

She's also part of Trump's Intelligence Advisory Board.

But I heard her interviewed one time when she was hawking her book, and she said something very interesting.

She said, history may not always repeat itself, but at the very least, it rhymes.

And for fans of parapolitics, someone who had a hand in shaping the shadow networks used by our intelligence community today.

Clark Clifford was an advisor to President Truman, chair of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board under JFK, and secretary of defense under LBJ.

But these titles don't tell the full story of his influence in Washington as a power broker.

From the 1950s through the 1980s, Clifford was one of the most powerful lobbyists working in Washington.

But Clifford wrote a couple of books actually about you know, his pro-Israel stances and stood by it his whole life.

Which is bizarre in a way because he would also become a vocal critic of Israel after the attack on the USS Liberty.

I believe his exact words in a report he authored on behalf, if I remember correctly, the President's Intelligence Advisory Board was, "...the unprovoked attack on the Liberty constitutes a flagrant act of gross negligence for which the Israeli government should be held completely responsible and the Israeli military involved should be punished." I can't imagine seeing something like that from a supporter of Israel being stated today.

So it's strange to me to be able to see someone like that hold that opinion about Israel in a period where the relationship was still forming.
