00:00:00
Billions of dollars are spent spying on
00:00:02
Americans. And to make matters worse, we
00:00:05
know that the CIA can take control
00:00:07
remotely of a car's computer system in
00:00:09
order to crash the car, take it off a
00:00:11
bridge, or take control of your smart TV
00:00:13
and turn a speaker into a microphone,
00:00:15
>> even though the TV is off and broadcast
00:00:18
back to the CIA.
00:00:19
>> Can they do that with devices?
00:00:20
>> Absolutely. And I'll tell you how we
00:00:21
know. There was a CIA software engineer
00:00:24
who was disgruntled and he downloaded
00:00:25
tens of [music] thousands of documents
00:00:27
classified above top secret. And instead
00:00:29
of going to the Russians or the Chinese,
00:00:32
he went to Wikileaks and they became the
00:00:34
Vault 7 documents. So our whole lives
00:00:36
are out there [music] potentially for
00:00:38
someone to use against us. And every
00:00:40
country has these capabilities. Listen,
00:00:42
I spent 15 years in the CIA. I love this
00:00:45
country. But one of the most important
00:00:47
things [music] in my life is the issue
00:00:48
of ethics, which is why I blew the
00:00:49
whistle on the CIA's torture program
00:00:51
because my superiors kept repeating that
00:00:54
torture worked. But besides being
00:00:56
illegal, immoral, unethical, it just
00:00:58
wasn't true. And I would let them send
00:00:59
me to prison again because it was the
00:01:02
right thing to do. I mean, we know that
00:01:04
they were experimenting on American
00:01:06
citizens.
00:01:06
>> This is the stuff of movies.
00:01:08
>> It is.
00:01:08
>> And because you've been in this world, I
00:01:10
have to ask you, who do you think is the
00:01:12
real adversary of the West? What are you
00:01:14
most concerned about in the world at the
00:01:15
moment? And what about everything that's
00:01:16
going on with Trump in Venezuela and
00:01:18
Greenland? And then, do you think
00:01:19
Jeffrey Epstein was a spy?
00:01:21
>> Yes.
00:01:22
>> Who do you think he was working for?
00:01:23
>> The Israelis. Why?
