| 0:00.0 | All right. Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back to making the argument. The first 100 days of the Trump administration are now complete. And we were invited to go up to the White House in order to conduct interviews for several people within the Trump administration to include the deputy director of the CIA, a spokesperson for Customs and Border Patrol, not to mention the senior advisor for counterterrorism |
| 0:23.2 | to President Trump himself. We got to sit down with each one of them and conduct some short |
| 0:27.6 | interviews talking about the first 100 days, some of the accomplishments that have been |
| 0:31.1 | achieved, and what to expect next. All of it on this episode of Making the Argument. Well, everyone, welcome back to Making the Argument. |
| 0:39.7 | I have, of course, your host, Nick Freitas. |

And it's fantastic to see so many patriots back in government working to carry out the president's agenda. One of whom is Director Rackleff, who I had a chance to work with when he was the DNI. Well, and that's the thing. You do have a, I mean, you have a diverse background. You have an important legal background, you also have a background within the intelligence community, and then you work for, you know, |
| 1:48.0 | Rumble, so you're working for an organization that's very dedicated to free speech, and one might |

| 1:57.0 | How does that impact? |
| 1:58.0 | And actually kind of leads me to another question here. |
