00:00Donald Trump's gone and done it again. He's blurted out secret intelligence held by an ally

00:06that could jeopardize the lives of agents on the ground. In his latest outburst he said this.

00:12Israel is doing a report on it now, I understand, and I was told that they said it was total

00:19obliteration. You know they have guys that go in there after after the hit. Then this.

00:24They really don't know. I think Israel is going to be telling us very soon because Bibi is going to

00:30have people involved in that whole situation. Now that confirms as if it was needed that the Mossad

00:37in his view have people on the ground that are investigating what is called battle damage

00:43assessment. The amount of damage done by the US and Israeli bombardment of the nuclear facilities

00:50of the Iranians. It's not the first time he's done it though. He blurted out very secret

00:55intelligence that he got from the Israelis back in 2017 telling none other than the Russian foreign

01:03minister and the then Russian ambassador to Washington, himself a former secret agent,

01:08some incredibly important details. Now since then of course he is notorious for storing secret

01:14intelligence documents in his toilet and other bathroom facilities at Mar-a-Lago in his home

01:20in Florida. But this incontinence is something that really really worries Western intelligence

01:26organizations like the Five Eyes organization that includes the US, UK, New Zealand, Australia and

01:32Canada. The Anglosphere method or network really of sharing intelligence pretty much automatically

01:39between these countries has broken down really under Donald Trump. He has also caused great dramas

01:45in the Middle East with his allies not least the Israelis because he has shown certainly back in 2017

01:52and probably again now that he is prepared to blurt out Israeli operations in order to prove his own

02:01points. That they don't know what they're doing. But there was something else he said when he referred to

02:06how there were two Iranians who'd been down into Fordow who'd already reported back to Tehran. Listen to this.

02:15Somebody brought that up and two Iranians went down to see it and they called back and they said

02:19this place is gone. Now that would indicate because the Iranians have said that there was basically not

02:24a scratch done to Fordow that either he's lying or again there is secret intelligence there is a source

02:31inside the Iranian regime who is letting the Iranians and other allies

02:38know exactly what went on there. That could be very profoundly compromising for these two individuals.

02:45Now when he blurted back in 2017 there was a terrific effort put into trying to rescue the secret agent that

02:53was inside the so-called Islamic State at the time. It's going to be a much harder job if they've got to grab

03:00people and save them from the Iranian regime where they hang people for a lot less from cranes.
