On this episode of It’s Happening Here, Tom and Bill break down one of the most alarming developments in Trump’s second term: the installation of Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence.
The DNI was created after 9/11 to help protect America from foreign threats. But Trump has made clear that he wants Pulte focused on something else entirely: his false claims about “rigged elections.” Tom and Bill explain why that matters, how Trump is filling key national security roles with loyalists, and why the real danger may be what comes next in 2026 and 2028.
This is not just another bad personnel move. It is part of a broader effort to turn the power of the federal government into a political weapon—against Trump’s enemies, against the truth, and potentially against free and fair elections.
