In this intense and deeply informative episode of The Pete Santilli Show, Pete is joined by Michael Pregent, a former intelligence officer and Middle East expert, for a sobering discussion on the escalating threat of terrorism, intelligence community failures, and America’s growing vulnerability to domestic attacks.Michael shares critical insight into how radical Islamist groups are exploiting U.S. weaknesses, including open borders, media manipulation, and university-based activism, to embed operatives across the country. He warns that the next major terror attack may already be in motion, as U.S. leaders remain distracted, risk-averse, or unaware of the gravity of what’s unfolding.The conversation covers the fallout of U.S. foreign policy in Syria, the CIA's failed strategies, the October 7th Hamas attack, and how NGOs tied to terror groups are funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars. Michael also blasts the intelligence community’s reliance on consensus groupthink, which he says silences dissenting analysts and enables blind spots that terrorists exploit.They also explore the role of academia and media in legitimizing terrorist narratives, the weaponization of “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” rhetoric, and the dire consequences of underestimating the ideological enemy from within.This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about national security, deep-state deception, and the real threat of radical Islamic extremism on American soil.
