1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Boss says to you, we need to have a meeting. Boy,

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, get a little nervous, don't you?

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 2: And they don't tell you what the meeting is about.

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, you start to think, oh, what's going on?

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: Start sweating, start getting pitted out, start.

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: Getting pitted out like Livy Dunn, which we'll talk about later.

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 2: Ford.

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: So, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 3: He ordered hundreds of US generals and admirals to assemble

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 3: next week at Quantico in Virginia. The order applies to

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: all general and flag officers and command positions, and their

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: senior enlisted advisors.

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: Of course, the reason for the gathering has not been.

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 3: Disclosed, sparking some alarm in some people, some confusion.

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: Lots of speculation.

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: It's somewhat of an unusual move. I believe the last

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: time something like this happened was in nineteen eighty six

18
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: for the Goldwater Nicholsack, which was a restructuring of the

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 3: entire military command. Is that what this is about?

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: We don't know.

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: Nobody knows.

22
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: Why do I feel like we're being set up here?

23
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 4: It seems like whenever the Trump administration makes a big

24
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 4: deal about hey, this is happening. It's just hold on,

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 4: can't tell you yet, but it's going to be a

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 4: big deal. It kind of almost feels like the Bondi

27
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 4: Pambondi release of the Epstein files where she had like

28
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 4: the conservative TikTok influencers at the White House and that

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 4: turned out to be a big nothing burger. They know

30
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 4: exactly what they're doing. They know by making this big

31
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 4: announcement yet not telling anybody, even those attending the meeting,

32
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 4: what the topic is, that all that's going to create

33
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 4: is a weak worth of people just speculating about what

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 4: it might.

35
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: Be, what it could be.

36
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 4: And in the back of my mind, I got a

37
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 4: feeling like this is going to be just like the

38
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 4: Pambondy Epstein nothing burger that.

39
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: You think, So it's just what I'm feeling.

40
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm going I think it's going to be

41
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:57,279
Speaker 1: a nothing burger.

42
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,639
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be, well, it'll be something,

43
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 4: but I know that it's going to be this earth shattering,

44
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 4: huge announcement that's coming.

45
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 3: So some people are saying that they're concerned about the

46
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 3: different operational risks that it could weaken the command coverage

47
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: in different zones and their security concerns. Having all of

48
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: these people in one location seen as risky, and what

49
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: about the housing or the transportation. More than a thousand

50
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: people could be attending this meeting. Something to consider that

51
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: is at Quantico, you've got the FBI Academy, which is

52
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 3: the agency's primary training and research center. Okay, You've got

53
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: the DEA, it's their principal training facility as well, situated

54
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 3: at that base. You've got the headquarters for NCIS, which

55
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: is the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. You've got the United

56
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 3: States Army Criminal Investigation Division is located at Quantico. You've

57
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: got Air Force Office of Special Investigations headquartered there, have

58
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 3: Defense Security Service there. You also have the Marine Corps

59
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 3: Intelligence Activity, they're located there. How about the Marine Corps

60
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: Criminal Investigation Division. All these agencies they share from you know,

61
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: they benefit from their shared resources on this base. I

62
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: just like to point out a lot of these things

63
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 3: have in common are criminal investigation.

64
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're because we don't know, we don't know.

65
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: We're just.

66
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 4: They're not giving us any any clue as to what

67
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 4: this is about. So you're taking the geographic location of

68
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 4: the meeting in Quantico Virginia and then trying to figure

69
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 4: out what else is geographic in Quantico to maybe put

70
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 4: together a string to see, Okay.

71
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: Maybe they're going to be there and this is going

72
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: to be the outcome.

73
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. It seems, I mean, somewhat irrelevant. Why

74
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: pick there?

75
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: Is it because of the security or is it because

76
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: the divisions that are headquartered there?

77
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe that's just where the biggest conference

78
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: room is.

79
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 4: Okay, it could be something completely arbitrary like that, Hey,

80
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 4: we don't have a place to put a thousand generals.

81
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 4: Where's the only place that's big enough to do. Oh

82
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: we got this place in Quantago that can do. Okay, fine,

83
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 4: we'll meet in Quantico then that way.

84
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 3: Well, A lot of people are speculating that this is

85
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: going to be a downsizing of the command, that maybe

86
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 3: we're moving some people more resources over to the Marines.

87
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: You've got the Air Force and maybe maybe they're a

88
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 3: little bloated and so this is a reassignment or a riff.

89
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: Don't know.

90
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: Donald Trump said he'll attend quote if they want me.

91
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: He'd be kind of downplaying it. Jadie Vance called the

92
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 3: meeting not particularly unusual.

93
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 4: Other people are speculating that, you know, from a military perspective,

94
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 4: this could be about Ukraine or North Korea, or China

95
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 4: or even Venezuela and all that's happening down there right now.

96
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, let's that it's let's just hope that this.

97
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 5: Is all reorganization for restructuring within the reg In the

98
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 5: past few months, haig Seth has dismissed some admirals and generals,

99
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 5: and maybe this is just more in that direction.

100
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 4: That would be the least alarming or the least concerning

101
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 4: out of all the options that people are talking about.

102
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 4: And right now I could handle a little less alarming

103
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 4: news and I could take that. Let's just let's just

104
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 4: let's just fingers crossed that this is just going to

105
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 4: be some sort of bureaucratic shifting of paperwork hr thing internals.

106
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: Get two seconds to get my head above water here,
