We’ve known for a while that the CIA and FBI have gone rogue: They spy on American citizens and both institutions are infected by woke groupthink. On today’s episode of The Spectacle podcast, Mike Waller, a senior analyst for strategy at the Center for Security Policy and the author of Big Intel: How the CIA & FBI Went from Cold War Heroes to Deep State Villains, joins hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay. They talk about the bloated and ineffective state of modern intelligence agencies and the solutions we need to implement.
