KEVIN CORKE (HOST): Very quickly I want to share this about the intel community and Pride Month, this is from Representative Michael Waltz: "It just shows where this administration's priorities continue to be, which is a virtue signal to the progressive left, rather than staying focused on lethality, effective intelligence collection and keeping America safe. It's just a total misplacement of priorities and it comes from the top, and it comes from highly politicized political appointees, by political appointees that are pushing an agenda."
Fifteen seconds each. This is a shocker. If you read the story you just shake your head. Carl, first to you.
CARL DEMAIO (CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY CANDIDATE): Well, the DEI extremist concept has infested our Department of Defense, our intel agencies. Have we forgotten the intel failure that led to the October 7th attacks in Israel? Our intel agency should be focused on their mission, not personal pronouns and all sorts of other social agendas. Get back to work and protect our people.
CORKE: Sonja, wrap us up.
SONJA SHAW (PRESIDENT, CHINO VALLEY SCHOOL BOARD): Absolutely. You know, these agencies are put in place to keep our nation safe. And right now they are focusing on painting fingernails and doing all this other kind of bizarre activities? We need to get back to actually doing what they are supposed to do, but Lenin said it best, and I will sum it up for you: You are not, like, we don't have to worry about the bombs being thrown, the way that our enemy is going to beat us is by destroying our, you know, everything that the United States was meant to be; anything of our ethics, our morals, values, and that's what they are doing. Look, these agencies need to get back to work.
