1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, I wanted to discuss something that 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Jerry might be able to provide a little insight on 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: a round of surprise firings coming out of the War Department. 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: Not only just you know, regular military members, but generals, chaplains, 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: army chaplains getting fired so many that the Department of 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: War Secretary Pete Haigsath doesn't even claim to know how 7 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: many he's fired. 8 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 2: Many generals and admirals? Have you fired? 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 3: I don't know the exact number. 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 2: You don't know the number, it's eight. Can you explain 11 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 2: why any of them were fired? But just explain why 12 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 2: was the army jag fired? Why did you fire him? 13 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 2: They all serve at the pleasure of the president. I 14 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 2: think I'm just asking you why do Kaite is a 15 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 2: great example. I'm just asking you why. I probably learned 16 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: at Princeton. Why means why did you fire him? He 17 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 2: served at the pleasure of the president, and we why 18 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 2: at a representation each and every of those You can't 19 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: explain why you fired any of them. Juma's time's expired. 20 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: A good question for another type. 21 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: What do you mean you don't know? You don't know 22 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 1: how many people you fired? You can count on them 23 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: in your two hands. You claim to not know, that's 24 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: either a dere election of duty or outright dishonesty. 25 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 4: Jerry, he definitely knows why they were fired. More than 26 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 4: likely anybody fire from that stature we're talking about General Zimbove. 27 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 4: First of all, you do serve the needs of the military. 28 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 4: Technically you can't get out, so you do have to 29 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 4: be relieved to your position. But more than likely, just 30 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 4: knowing the political nature you disagreed was on the President said, 31 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 4: plain and simple. 32 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: Maybe they're disagreeing with the military strategy in Iran. 33 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 4: Could be a number of anything perhaps, but that's what 34 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 4: gets you fired, unfortunately, or some of the. 35 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: Crazy claims that the Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth 36 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: has made, including saying that the soldiers are fighting for Jesus. 37 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: Now I'm an atheist, but I remember reading the Bible 38 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: somewhere where Jesus said that if you live by the sword, 39 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: you die by the sword. Not sure he's he'd be 40 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: advocating for war there, but this was a retired general 41 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: speaking about one of the firings, including the army chaplain 42 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: getting given the boot by the old Secretary of War. 43 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 3: General George is the chief of Staff of the Air Force, 44 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 3: is well loved by soldiers across the board. He's created 45 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 3: a culture that's very good within the US Army. But 46 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 3: he's not the only one. That was reported in that 47 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 3: statement by The New York Times yesterday, it's not only 48 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 3: General Randy George, chief of Staff of the Air Force. 49 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 3: It's also General Dave Hodney, four star general, one of 50 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 3: the few that are in the Army who's in charge 51 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 3: of Army Futures Command. And here's one that hit personally 52 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 3: for me, which I don't know how to connect the 53 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 3: dots on this, but the third officer mentioned was Major 54 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: General Bill Green. Bill Green is the chief of Chaplains 55 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 3: in the Army, and what that means is he oversees 56 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 3: all the moral capabilities of the chaplains in the force. 57 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 3: And I know Bill Green. He was one of my 58 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 3: chaplains when I was a brigade commander, and he is 59 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 3: one of the finest officers and ministers in the Army, 60 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 3: and that's why he was chosen as the chief of Chaplains. 61 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 3: When you have those three individuals, it tells me more 62 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 3: of what's going on. All kinds of conclusions on why 63 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: George was fired. But when you talk about all three 64 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 3: of them together, it's much more damaging. And there's a 65 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: whole lot more to this story. They were standing up 66 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 3: for something. I don't know what the issue was. But 67 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 3: when you hear Secretary Hegsas say that soldiers are fighting 68 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 3: for Jesus, which is what he said in a speech 69 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: the other day, that just chills me to the bone. 70 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: Dear God, there's more. No, I mean, it chills me 71 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: to the bone when I hear statements like that, Jerry, 72 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: because I immediately think of the religious extremists and the 73 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: radicals that we're fighting overseas in the Middle East. When 74 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: they scream Alahu akbar, they just believe that their God, 75 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: their divinity, is helping support their conflict. 76 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 4: Too. Yeah, I think that becomes a problem just across 77 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 4: the board. You know, your personal beliefs are between you 78 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 4: and whoever you believe in or don't believe in it. 79 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 4: You're right, but we are not fighting quote unquote for Jesus. 80 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 4: We're fighting for Americans. 81 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: I thought, well, what about the Hindu service members, what 82 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: about the Sikh servyce members, what about the Muslim service members? 83 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: What about the Jewish service members? Are they all finding 84 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: for Jesus too? 85 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 4: Listen, we don't need this is not a religious war, no, 86 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 4: and we need to make sure it doesn't come across 87 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 4: that way. 88 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: And it definitely shouldn't be. But you got blood thirsty 89 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth who's also claiming that service 90 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: members are begging him for begging him for more bombs 91 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: and bigger bombs. A colonel with a heart the size 92 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: of Texas and a beautiful. 93 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 4: Deployment mustache to match. 94 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: I witnessed lethality. I met a junior airman as the 95 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: sun was going down and a chill was setting on 96 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: the tarmac who when asked what they needed, she simply 97 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: looked up at me with a sly smile. 98 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 3: On her face and said, more bombs, sir, and bigger bombs. 99 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: We will happily oblige her. 100 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: It's psychotic. 101 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: I mean, Jerry, I know you participated in military actions. 102 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: You were willing to serve your country, potentially lay down 103 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: your life. But were you excited by the idea of 104 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 1: being in a military conflict. Did you want to see 105 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: more bloodshed, more firefights? I mean, I'm just I don't 106 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: know the. 107 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 4: Time, so I was in the service when nine to 108 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 4: eleven happened on nine twelve, heck yeah, nine twelve, heck yeah, that's. 109 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: Outside of nine twelve. 110 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 4: We didn't go anywhere two years later, Two years later, 111 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 4: I did not have the same sentiment that I had 112 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 4: on nine twelve. 113 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: There we go, There we go. I mean, I think 114 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,679 Speaker 1: everybody was pretty much on the on the same page 115 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: after nine twelve, and we're gonna have to ass and 116 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: take name. 117 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, but we didn't have we're we never had that 118 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 4: moment here. Yeah, So I don't think a whole bunch 119 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 4: of people are super excited to go over when me 120 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 4: as a vet, I don't even know what the end 121 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 4: goal is. Still we've had regime change. 122 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: Right or or have we Because the IRGC is still 123 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: in control, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, they're still controlling the country. 124 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: I ran, still exerting control over the Strait of horror moves. 125 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: You got oil companies that are they're not paying the 126 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: United States, they're paying I ran for a safe passage 127 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: through the Strait just to engage in some level of commerce. 128 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 4: So if we're going to use the word win, we 129 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 4: got to know how we're keeping score. 130 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you also had the decimation of their 131 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: nuclear program offered as a factor in this conflict. At 132 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 1: the same time, when you have our intelligence agencies reporting 133 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: that those were destroyed last June, that they hadn't recovered 134 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: or recuperated in any meaningful capacity their ability to enrich 135 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: uranium and produce a nuclear weapon. So yeah, it absolutely 136 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: begs the question, what the hell are we accomplishing here anyway? 137 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 4: Well, I will tell you right now what we're accomplishing 138 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,799 Speaker 4: is we are nine likes away from making an old 139 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 4: veteran get down. 140 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: Give you twenty five. 141 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 4: You have less than ten minutes. 142 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: Only nine likes away.
