| 0:00.0 | In every field office, agents that work domestic terrorism are on the JTTF. |
| 0:07.0 | But the domestic terrorism program is not, I repeat, not part of the national security program. |
| 0:15.0 | It is not funded by the NIT, the National Intelligence Program. |
| 0:19.0 | Funding is not NIP. Well, here you go. Here's the solution. |
| 0:22.6 | As the CT threat wanes down, they're facing the prospect of losing their funding for the CT mission. |
| 0:30.6 | Well, you hire up all of these CT agents. That threat starts going away, but those people don't start going away. |
| 0:36.6 | They're continuing to work on JTT apps, but those people don't start going away. They're continuing |
| 0:37.8 | to work on JTT apps, but they become gradually more and more, say, unemployed because the threat |

| 1:24.3 | This is Bill Taylor. He is a retired FBI supervisory special agent. He was an FBI whistleblower, |

We've been doing this for about 35 minutes, folks, try to get this thing to run, but I think we've got all the demons exercised out. Will you tell people where you grew up, maybe some of your backstory, your professional history, and what made you, you know, want to become and how did you become an FBI agent? Yeah, that's great.
