| 0:00.0 | How many days before we invaded Iran, did you know we were going to launch an invasion? |
| 0:06.0 | We can get into those details on classified setting, but I work with my colleagues across the spectrum here |
| 0:12.0 | to give me advance warning so that we can reinforce. |
| 0:14.0 | Was it two days, three days, a month? |
| 0:16.0 | It was some time before that, sir. |
| 0:18.0 | Sometime before that, you had done. |
| 0:20.0 | With that knowledge, why did you fire at least a dozen agents in counterintelligence unit 12 |
| 0:26.5 | that specializes in Iran counterintelligence, which makes us much less secure and safe with this war going on from Iranian attacks potentially against our country? |
| 0:37.0 | As I said earlier, Congressman, I don't work on timelines when these terminations occur. |

| 1:29.3 | As I said earlier, all those matters are pending litigation, so I'm not going to comment on them. |
| 1:34.3 | Of course, no, Japan and U.S. are a very good friend. |
| 1:38.3 | But one question, why didn't you tell U.S. allies in Europe and Asia like Japan about the war before attacking Iran? |
| 1:49.0 | So we are very confused about Japanese citizens. |
| 1:52.0 | Well, one thing you don't want to signal too much. |
| 1:55.0 | You know, when we go in, we went in very hard, and we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. |
| 2:02.5 | Who knows better about surprise than Japan? |
