0:00.0	The problem with CIA is they don't tell their own story sometimes.
0:03.0	It's one of the problems.
0:05.0	They do so many things that help us that they can't talk about.
0:09.0	And that's a frustration for me as a journalist because sometimes you'll hear about things.
0:13.0	There'll be an example that I think listeners will really appreciate is the Taylor Swift concert that was almost attacked in Vienna over the summer.
