Intelligence Budget History, Data Centers and UBL vs OBL
James Clapper recounted the history of intelligence budget cuts in the 1990s, which he claims left the U.S. vulnerable before 9/11. He highlighted "power, space, and cooling" as the primary constraints for modern data centers like the one in Utah. The hosts also question why the intelligence community uses the acronym "UBL" for Usama bin Laden while the public uses "OBL."
