CIA Pundit Program, Media Scripts, Native Advertising
The hosts discuss the existence of a "CIA Pundit Program" where former intelligence officers are given scripts and book deals to influence public opinion through news appearances. They characterize Jake Tapper's interviews as a form of native advertising for the intelligence community, where the host and guest follow a pre-written narrative to manufacture fear.
