In this sharp interview on The Katie Halper Show, longtime CIA veteran Ray McGovern pulls no punches on Israel's deep sway over American intelligence and foreign policy. He recounts how Marco Rubio acts as a bottleneck ("anal sphincter") controlling information to the president, explains the U.S. strike on Iran as largely driven by Israeli pressure and preemption fears, and shares personal stories from his career—including suggesting an arms embargo on Israel in 1974 that shocked colleagues and a recent confrontation highlighting the "51st state" dynamic. McGovern draws from decades of experience to expose the refusal within the Deep State to challenge this influence, framing it as a persistent, unchecked force shaping U.S. decisions.
