"The Trump Who Cried Peace" – Iran, Oil, Israel, and FISA on This Week's INTEL Roundtable

Trying something new, since I'm watching a select group of talk shows, I thought of summarizing one of the clips that included two of the former CIA high-ranking officials turned prominent anti-Zionist peace activists, utilizing the vast knowledge they accumulated throughout their years of work at the 'agency' and the years following, analyzing their former employers. I hope this would be of benefit.

Judge Napolitano keeps the format of his talk show simple. He throws out a headline, a clip, or a recent statement, then lets his guests dig into it. Johnson and McGovern are both former CIA officers, and while people won't always agree with their conclusions, they usually bring perspectives that rarely make it onto television.

Trump's 39th Iran Peace Deal

The discussion opened with a CNN montage showing Trump claiming an Iran deal was close, nearly done, or about to happen dozens of times. Napolitano said the count was now around 39.

The problem, as both guests saw it, is that these promises often appear alongside threats of military action.

Larry Johnson joked that Aesop's classic story should be rewritten from The Boy Who Cried Wolf to The Trump Who Cried Peace. One day it's bombing threats, the next day it's peace talks, then back again.

McGovern argued that traditional intelligence channels appear to be largely sidelined and that a very small circle now controls what information reaches the president. He also mentioned attending a Russia Day event at the Russian embassy, where officials publicly praised improving relations while quietly continuing support for Iran.

The message from both men was simple: foreign governments are paying attention to actions, not speeches.

Oil and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve

Napolitano then shifted to oil.

Johnson argued that Washington has drawn down the Strategic Petroleum Reserve far beyond what it was originally intended for. He spent several minutes explaining the difference between light crude and heavy crude and why American refining capacity doesn't always match American production.

His warning was straightforward: if current trends continue, Americans could be looking at significantly higher gasoline prices later this summer.

McGovern's summary was much shorter.

"A house of cards."

Other topics discussed in the 'roundtable':

• Joe Kent, Iran, and the position of current spooks
• Israel, Espionage, and Influence
• FISA Expiry
