1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: There is always going to be a cause and effect 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: in politics when you have leaders that change course, whether 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: they do something it's a great thing or a terrible thing, 4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: there is always a cause and effect worldwide, and what 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: we are witnessing right now is the cause and effect 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: of a week. President Joe Biden has gotten to the 7 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: point where it's just so bad that last night he 8 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: actually forgot who he was talking to. And when he 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: forgot he was talking to, it happened to be the 10 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: Australian Prime Minister. He was forced to refer to him 11 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: as that fella down under. That's right, US President Joe 12 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: Biden appeared to forget who he was talking to Wednesday 13 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: night when he looked away from his prepared notes for 14 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: just a second and address the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison. 15 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: He couldn't remember he was talking to, and so he 16 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: then had to figure out way to fix it, and 17 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: then he referred to him as that fellow down under. 18 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,639 Speaker 1: The verbal fumble came during an exchange between the two 19 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: leaders and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson detailing a defense 20 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: still struck by the long standing allies to help Australia 21 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: acquire nuclear power submarines. Thank you Boris, referring to Boris Johnson, 22 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: and I want to thank you that fellow down under, 23 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: Biden said, as he turned to the large screen that 24 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: Morrison was on. Thank you very much, Pal, appreciate it, 25 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: Prime Minister. The Australian leader simply smiled back politely and 26 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: gave a thumbs up because it was just well so 27 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: awkward and clearly the present for God who he was 28 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: speaking with. Thank you, Boris. And I want to thank 29 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: that fellow down under. Thank you very much. Pal, appreciate this, 30 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: Prime Minister. And I want to thank that fellow down under. 31 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Pal, Thank you very much, Pal. 32 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,279 Speaker 1: I want to thank that fellow down under. Thank you Boris. 33 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: Because Boris just stopped talking, so he knew his name, 34 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: but the other guy hadn't spoken a few minutes, you know. 35 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: In Australia, kind of a big deal. Yeah, we're gonna 36 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: announce this historic announcement of the auk US Defense Pack. 37 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna do it. And I want to I want 38 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: to think that, uh fella, Yeah, I want to. I 39 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: want to thank that fella from from down Under. Obviously, 40 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: social media lit up, especially in Australia, because people thought 41 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: not only was it just kindescending as hell, but also 42 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: showing just how weak the president actually is. Social media 43 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: around the world cringe at the exchange before describing Biden 44 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: is quote hopeless, embarrassing and clearly not up for the 45 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: demands of the job. The Twitter hashtag then started to 46 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: trend last night people were trying to figure out what 47 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: it even meant. Hashtag that fella down Under was following 48 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: as various news outlets first digested the consequences. Now jerif 49 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: Raje said Joe Biden just an old duffer. He's not 50 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: up to the job, as he tweeted out the video 51 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: that fell down under. Yeah, that fella down Under? Thanks Pal. 52 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: Can't remember your name, but thank you Pal. Sky News 53 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: Australia said US President Joe Biden has had addressed Scott 54 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: Morrison as Pal and that fella down Under after appearing 55 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: to forget the name of Australia's national leader in a 56 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: joint defense address press conference. They're not happy. Others in 57 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: the UK and in Australia furious over the fact the 58 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: president United States America would address their leader this way. 59 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: As one put it's like an old man patting a 60 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: dog on the head boris, I forgot your name, but 61 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: you know, hey, that fella down under it it's all good. 62 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: We like that. Now, let's go back to the consequences. 63 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: And this is just another example of what's happening because 64 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: of the presence decision making. I'm going to read you 65 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: a couple of different headlines right now, and these are 66 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: important headlines, headlines that are showing you exactly what is 67 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: happening right now because there are people now that see 68 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: an opportunity. South Korea has launched a rocket. North Korea 69 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: launches a rocket. Rival Korea's test missiles hours apart, raising 70 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: tensions the highest level we've seen in years. This is 71 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: the crap that didn't happen when Donald Trump was the 72 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: president United States of America. North and South Korea each 73 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: tested ballistic missiles on Wednesday, just hours apart, in a 74 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: display that is sure to exacerbate tensions on the peninsula 75 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: at a time when talks aimed at stripping the North 76 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: of its nuclear program have stalled out. South Korea's presidential 77 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: office said the country conducted its first submarine launched ballistic 78 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: missile test. It said the domestically built missile flew from 79 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: a submarine and hit its target. While president of the 80 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: country and other top officials looked on Moon set improvements 81 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: in the country's missile capabilities would serve as a sure 82 00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: deterrent against North Korea provocation, Mountain, Not so much. North 83 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: Korea fired two short range ballistic missiles into the sea. 84 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: Those launches came two days after the North said it 85 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: fired a newly developed cruise missile, its first weapons test 86 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: in six months. When did Joe Biden become president when 87 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: not about seven months ago? Yeah, it's amazing how fast 88 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: things can fall apart. That's just one headline. By the way, 89 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,679 Speaker 1: I'll give you another example of what happens when people 90 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: see an opportunity. When America is weak, others will do 91 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: things they would never do when we were strong. Chinese 92 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: state run newspaper is now claiming warships could soon be 93 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: very near to Hawaii, testing and seeing what our military 94 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: will actually do. Chinese warships could soon show up near 95 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: Hawaii and Guam, according to China state run newspaper Global Times. 96 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: The newspapers said warships could be on their way, falling 97 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: claims at the US Navy challenge international waters near Beijing. 98 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: The Global Times editor in chief tweeted, hopefully, when Chinese 99 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: warships passed through the Caribbean Sea or show up near 100 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: Hawaiian Guam, one day, the US will uphold the same 101 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: standard of freedom of navigation. That day will come soon. 102 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: The US Navy has been forced to respond to that tweet, 103 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: saying they continue to uphold freedom of navigation and pointed 104 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: out that Chinese spy ships have sailed freely near Hawaii 105 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: in the past. Meanwhile, the US Coastguard recently released pictures 106 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: of an operation near Alaska's Islands last month in which 107 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: crews encountered four Chinese warships operating international waters roughly just 108 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: sixty miles off of US soil. Quote. While these ships 109 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: were within the US Exclusive Economic Zone, they followed international 110 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: law and norms and at no point entered US territorial waters. 111 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: The officials said, if you don't think they're testing us 112 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: right now to see what then get away with You're 113 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: not paying attention now. You have this going on, you 114 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: have the US Australia security partnership, as Beijing is expanding 115 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: their military and their influence. The French are furious over this, 116 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: saying we stabbed them in the back and even saying 117 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: we haven't felt this way since Donald Trump was present, 118 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: trying to take a dig at Donald Trump, which is hilarious. 119 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: And Japan's defense minister has now drawn a red line 120 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: in the island dispute. Yeah, this coming from CNN. Japan's 121 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: defense minister has now said we are drawing a red 122 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: line in the island dispute with China. Japan says they're 123 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: forced to draw that red line around an island chain 124 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: along also claimed by China, pushing back at Beijing's increasingly 125 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: aggressive military posturing and setting the stage for a potential 126 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: showdown between the regions two biggest powers. An exclusive interview 127 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: with CNN, the Japanese Defense minister said that these islands 128 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: are unquestionably Japanese territory and would be defended as such, 129 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: with Tokyo matching any Chinese threat to the island's ship 130 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: or shipments and beyond if necessary. Japan has been expanding 131 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: its self defense forces, as they call it, adding stay 132 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: of the art F thirty five fighter jets and converting 133 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: warships to aircraft carriers for them. It is also building 134 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: new destroyers, submarines, and missiles, all the while noting its 135 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: military expenditure still pales in comparison with China's increased military spending. Now, 136 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: why is this happening right now? Because when America doesn't lead, 137 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: others do what they have to do to act out. 138 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: And this is what happens when America is weak and 139 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: others are seeing an opportunity. They're seeing a president that's 140 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: incredibly weak. While all of this is happening, Joe Biden 141 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: is totally distracted. He's distracted by Millie. He's now distracted 142 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: by reports have come out that he's being forced to 143 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: deny he says, quote Biden denies advice to keep troops 144 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. We're now being told that there are multiple 145 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: people around the president. They were telling him, whatever you do, 146 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: don't pull all the troops out of Afghanistan. Remember the 147 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: plan from Donald Trump was to keep a small force 148 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan so that we could fight terrorists whenever we 149 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: needed to. And then you've got this other massive problem, 150 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: which is General Millie, a man that apparently was undermined 151 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: the President United States America in Donald Trump, not only 152 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: undermining him, but actively working with our adversaries and saying 153 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: we would let them know if we were ever going 154 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: to attack them well in advance. Democrats aren't denying any 155 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: of this. Right is now being basically treated as total 156 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: fact in this reporting from Bob Woodward's book. So, now, 157 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: what is the White House saying about this right after 158 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: these calls with China, after him undermining the President Unit 159 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: States America virtually going rogue and taking over our government. 160 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: Here's what the Biden administration is said about General Millie, 161 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. What I can sure 162 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: you all of is that the President knows General Millie. 163 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: He has been Chairman of the Joint Chiefs for almost 164 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: eight months of his presidency. They've worked side by side 165 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: through a range of international events. And the President has 166 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,359 Speaker 1: complete confidence in his leadership, his patriotism, and his fidelity 167 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: to our constitution. The President believes he's patriotic, that he 168 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: is his fidelity to our Constitution is unquestionable, and he 169 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: has complete confidence and not. The President's experience with him 170 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: is that he is a man of honor. He is 171 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: a man who's the President's confident in his leadership, his patriotism, 172 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: his fidelity to the Constitution, and he is a patriot. 173 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: He has somebody who is has fidelity to the Constitution, 174 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: and he has confidence in his leadership and the role 175 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: he has played in his experience with him. The President 176 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: has complete confidence in his leadership, his patriotism, and his 177 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: fidelity to our Constitution. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, 178 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: any chairman of the Joint Stee Chiefs, has channels to 179 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: communicate with China and Russia. That those are meant to 180 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: increase confidence, those are meant to prevent and deter any 181 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: action that would be that would be unintended. And that 182 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: is a good thing. I mean, you hear this and 183 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: it's just insane. Over and over again. They're saying the 184 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: same things. They're not denying that he did this. They're 185 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,239 Speaker 1: not saying the reporting is inaccurate. They're not saying undermining 186 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. They weren't. They're not saying he didn't go 187 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: rogue this amount of honor right after allegedly calling China 188 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: and going behind the presence back on China. Now, Christopher Miller, 189 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: former acting Secretary of Defense, has put out a statement. 190 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: This is Trump's Defense Secretary's statement saying, quote unquote, if 191 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: the reporting in Woodward's book is accurate, it represents a 192 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: disgraceful and unprecedented act of insubordination by the nation's top 193 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: military officer. He must resign immediately or be fired by 194 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: the Secretary of Defense. I couldn't agree more with that statement. 195 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: By the way, the statement is spot on because it 196 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: is an unprecedent active insubordination by the nation's top military officer. 197 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: Now Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State, he went on 198 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: Handy last night and had a lot to say, and 199 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: I'm going to play that for you, But first I 200 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: want you to understand something else in the context. Handy's 201 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: point that he was making is you got to know 202 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: who your enemy is, especially if you are the chairman 203 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: of the Joint Chiefs, especially if you're the nation's top 204 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: military officer. Right, You've got to know who your enemy is. 205 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: You have to know who all of them are. And 206 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: Mike Pompeo's point, which I'm going to let him make, 207 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 1: is how on earth can we trust a guy to 208 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: run our military who not only is doing something that's 209 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: totally unprecedented. Many would refer to it as treason, as 210 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 1: clearly an active insubordination at the highest level, and not 211 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: only that, but actually giving information to our adversaries to 212 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: our enemies and thinking that he's doing a good thing 213 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: for the United States of America. Take a listen, and 214 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: on radio we talk a lot about knowing your enemy. 215 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: For example, the terrorists, the Taliban, they are terrorists, and 216 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: they are enemy al Qaeda and ISIS, they're terrorists. There 217 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: are enemies, the malignant governments of Iran, North Korea, China. Yep, 218 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: there are enemies Russia. Same thing in twenty fifteen, though 219 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: General Millie didn't seem to realize this. Take a watch. 220 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: China is not an enemy, and I think that's important 221 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: for people to clearly understand. China is a rising power. 222 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: Was seeing a significant increase in Chinese military capabilities over 223 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: the last ten to twenty years, and they are going 224 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: to develop themselves and are developing themselves into a great power. 225 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: That is not to say, however, that they are an enemy. 226 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: So what role did that line of thinking play in 227 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: Millie's phone calls with top Chinese official? Here with reaction, 228 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: Former Secretary of State Fox has contributed to Mike Pompeo, 229 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: Mister Secretary, you're actually mentioned in this and I want 230 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: to give you an opportunity to respond. In this excerpt, 231 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: that was put out by The Washington Post. It says 232 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: even some of Trump's most loyal advisors privately expressed concern. 233 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: After the election, Then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told 234 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: Millie that Trump was in a dark place right now. 235 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: Millie had just one goal in shoring the peaceful transfer 236 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: of power January twentieth. And he told you, Millie telling Pompeo, 237 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: we got a plane with four engines and three of 238 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: them are out. We have got no landing gear. But 239 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna land this plane, and we're gonna land it safely. 240 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: I've known you a long time, mister Secretary. I've known 241 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: you to be an honest and truthful man. Is that true? 242 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: I have no recollection of a conversation like that. Look, 243 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: we were all pretty down. We were about to hand 244 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: over the reins of foreign policy to what this administration. 245 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: We've seen these last eight months, what that means for 246 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: the United States of America. So, if someone asked, was 247 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: I excited about January twentieth and the fact that we 248 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: were no longer going to have the capacity to secure 249 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: American freedom, account me for being a pretty dark place too. 250 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: But what's important to know, Sean is you know, all 251 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: this has as a predicate that I did is somehow 252 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: there was this fear there was there was the cabinet 253 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: members running around concerned that Donald Trump was going to 254 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: engage in some kind of rogue activity or some kind 255 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: of active war to sort of lash out. This never happened. 256 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: It's just patently absurd. And so the entire predicate for 257 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: all of this assessment that Woodward has now laid out 258 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: in his book. We'll see what turns out, but make 259 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: no mistake about it, during that entire time, the entire 260 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: time I served, all four years, we conducted orderly foreign policy. 261 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: We had a national security team that was working hard 262 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: to make sure that we made the best decisions we 263 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: possibly could, and I think the data set would show 264 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: that we did a pretty damn effective job in doing that. 265 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: You know what, we can see the difference in Afghanistan today, Sir, 266 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: and just the threat of obliteration kept the Taliban in line, 267 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: and not a single American died in eighteen months toll 268 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: last year the Trump presidency. Not one American citizen died, 269 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: and no American would have been left behind on your 270 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: watching Donald Trump's watch, I can say that also let's 271 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: talk about the hypotheticals here, the allegations that are being 272 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: made this serious. Number one, the role that Millie might 273 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: have had with other high ranking military officials to gain 274 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: their loyalty, that any decision must go through me. I 275 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: don't see. Constitutionally he's in that chain of command. It 276 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: would go from the president to the Secretary of Defense, 277 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: and then it would make its way down, but the 278 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: call would be the president's, not General Millie's. Number Two, 279 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: what is Nancy Pelosi's role in all of this? And 280 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: number three? We both know Russia, China, Iran, North Korea 281 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: hostile regimes. Nobody doubts that. My question is is it 282 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't that transcript exist if he in fact called China 283 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: without permission of his own defense secretary and made a 284 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: deal that he would tip off China, if in fact 285 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: America felt the need to defend itself in some way 286 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: militarily and would do what is the word you would 287 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: use to describe that, unconstitutional, incomprehensible, and completely out of line. 288 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: You listen to what Pompeo said there, unconstitutional, incompetent, completely 289 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: out of line. He's absolutely right. Mike Pompeio is a 290 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: guy that for four years dealt with our adversaries. He 291 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: dealt with the whole plan to get out of Afghanistan. 292 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: He dealt with the Taliban and set down with the 293 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: Taliban directly negotiating with people that Joe Biden and Barack 294 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,479 Speaker 1: Obama let out a Gitmo. Right, this guy had a 295 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: tough job. But in the last year of the presidency 296 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump, not a single American was killed in Afghanistan. 297 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: Why because they knew that, and it was very clear 298 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: we had a policy of conditions policy with Afghanistan and 299 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: pulling out its conditions based you screw with us, will 300 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: blow the hell out of you. You messed with any 301 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: of our assets, will bloil the hell out of you. 302 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: You allow a kinder to get back in charge, will 303 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: blow the hell out of you. That was to the 304 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: Afghan government and the Taliban. All that was abandoned, every 305 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: bit of it. And this idea that you know, General 306 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: Millie went rogue against our constitution, elected by no one 307 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: and was telling his chain of command, you basically have 308 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: to pledge allegiance to me. It is funny that the 309 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: things that the media said Trump did right, like you 310 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: got to pledge allegiance him, that he was psycho, that 311 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: he was parano in the White House, that you know, 312 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: you had to pledge, allegings him at all costs, and 313 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: all this other you know crap that we dealt with 314 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: in the media for four years, which wasn't true. Is 315 00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: literally exactly what guys like Millie actually are doing under 316 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: the Biden administration. You know the things that were said 317 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: about Donald Trump, He's gonna get some War War three. 318 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: I gave you all the headlines about Japan, North Korea, 319 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: South Korea, gave of giving you all these headlines about Australia, 320 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: all this stuff happening the world, Russia, which one you 321 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: think is gonna give us in to War War three, 322 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: Joe Biden and seven months, look at where we are. 323 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: Look at what's happening in the world. In seven months. 324 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: You have a terrorist organization literally running an entire country 325 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: in the Middle East right now, And you wanted me 326 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: to be afraid of Donald Trump because Donald Trump was 327 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: a law and ordered guide that didn't screw up with 328 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: terrorist They killed him wherever they popped up and held 329 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: them accountable and went after and decimated ISIS. And everyone's like, oh, 330 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna get us in War War three. If anybody's 331 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: gonna get us in War War three, it's Joe Biden. 332 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: Could be in two ways, one because he does something 333 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: stupid that causes it, or two from walking away from 334 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: our standing in the world. You allow, by default at 335 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: War War three to break out between other countries. North 336 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: South Korea shooting ballistic missiles off yesterday great examp ample 337 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: of this. What happens if they invade Taiwan. Great example 338 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: of this. What about Japan and China? You know they're 339 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: threatening basically war with one another. What about the warships 340 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: coming right close to Hawaii and Guam on purpose because 341 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: we're weak. You go back to the former Secretary of 342 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: State Mike Pompeio, and his point is you cannot allow 343 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: a chairman of the Joints Chief Staff to basically go rogue, 344 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: to almost do a quiet coup against any president. And 345 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: that's what he pretty much did. This is a guy 346 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: that corroborated with China, undermining Donald Trump, the president, and 347 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: did it behind his back without telling him about it. 348 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: Listen to the last part of what Mike Pompeo had 349 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: to say. For any military leader, certainly someone who's in 350 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: the role that the chief of staff is and you've 351 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: described great Jared described it too. He's just simply an advisor. 352 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: He's not in the chain of command for operational activity. 353 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: So would this would be dangerous and an usurpation of 354 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: authority that is historically anomalous, and we should make sure 355 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: that we as quickly as we can't figure out if 356 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: General Milly spoke to Woodward himself, we should find out 357 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: if General Milliy is prepared to testify, we can do 358 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: it tomorrow or the next day to get clarity about 359 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: what General Milly said. I don't know the deote's policy 360 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: Sean exactly on whether there would be a transcript of 361 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: this phone call, but I promise you there were note 362 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: takers in the room. I am very confident that conversation 363 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: could be reconstructed if if you had a senior military 364 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: leader who was simply an advisor tell the Chinese Communist 365 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: Party that they would get notice of an attack that 366 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: this rivals anything we've seen in our nation's history. Only 367 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: the President of the United States has the capacity to 368 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: make those decisions, and I'd be shocked if the then 369 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 1: acting Secretary Defense gave him any authority to even contemplate 370 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: that very conversation. It would only be those two people 371 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: that could have told General Milly to have that conversation 372 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 1: if in fact it took place. Let's go back by 373 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: the way to the White House. They're not denying General 374 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: Millie did any of this. They're not saying the reporting 375 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: is wrong, right, They're not saying that any of this 376 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: is wrong. You go back to the White House now 377 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: and you look at what the White House is saying, 378 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: and they're saying, this guy's amazing, this guy's incredible. We 379 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: love Millie. And I'm sure they do because Millie's their guy, right, 380 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: Millie's woke, Millie's a guy that they absolutely love. But 381 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: over and over and over again, the White House tells 382 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: you we love this man. He's a man of honor. 383 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: I mean, we've got the talking points, right. The media 384 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: is going nuts at the White House. Presecretary asked him 385 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: questions about General Millie and as silent coup that he 386 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: was a part of when Donald Trump was the president, 387 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: and this is a guy that's helping our enemies out, 388 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: and what is every single time she's asked question about Millie, 389 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: legitimate question after legitimate question after legitimate question from the 390 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: media They just read you the same damn talking points. 391 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: They love Millie because Millie's their guy. Millie's a guy 392 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 1: that is helping make America week. Millie's a guy that 393 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,479 Speaker 1: was willing to undermine Donald Trump. That's all they need 394 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: to know to give him the best job he's ever 395 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: had his life. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Didn't get 396 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: any better than that. You undermine Trump. You went behind 397 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: Trump's back. Great, we'll hire you. We'd love to have you. 398 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: You went outside the chine of command. You basically took 399 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: over the government in a de facto way and worked 400 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: with our adversary in back general talks, giving them secret information, 401 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: telling them that we would warn that you would warn 402 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: them if there was an attack. Yes, we'd love for 403 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: you to be the Joint Chief Chairman. In fact, we'll 404 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: go out on TV and we'll defend you at all costs. 405 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: Because you hated Trump. You hated Trump. All you gotta 406 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 1: do is just keep doing your job. Keep doing it. 407 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: We got you. Don't worry, Milly. We'll tell everybody how 408 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: great you are. I can sure you. All of is 409 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: that the President knows, General Milly. He has been Chairman 410 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: of the Joint Chiefs for almost eight months of his presidency, 411 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: they've worked side by side through a range of international events. 412 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: And the President has complete confidence in his leadership, his patriotism, 413 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: and his fidelity to our Constitution. The President believes he's patriotic, 414 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: that he is, his fidelity to our Constitution is unquestionable, 415 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: and he has complete confidence. And the President's experience with 416 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: him is that he is a man of honor. He 417 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: is a man who's the President's confident in his leadership, 418 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: his patriotism, his fidelity to the Constitution, that he is 419 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: a patriot. He has somebody who is has fidelity to 420 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: the Constitution, and he has confidence in his leadership and 421 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,239 Speaker 1: the role he has played in his experience with him. 422 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: The President has complete confidence in his leadership, his patriotism, 423 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: and his fidelity to our Constitution. The Chairman of the 424 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs, any chairman of the Joint stee Chiefs, has 425 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: channels to communicate with China and Russia. That those are 426 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: meant to increase confidence, those are meant to prevent and 427 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: deter any any action that would be that would be unintended, 428 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: and that is a good thing. Again, one of the 429 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: points I have to bring up again, is the White 430 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: House is not denying any of this. They're basically admitting 431 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: to it. They're they're they're saying, well, it's normal, familiar 432 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: to do this, to talk to his counterparts. They're not 433 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: saying they didn't talk. They're not saying they didn't have 434 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: this conversation. They're trying to normalize what is referred to 435 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: as a treasonous act. Apparently on multiple occasions. This is 436 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: how you get a job with this in this White House, apparently, right, 437 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: this is how you get that job. You hate Donald Trump? Yes, okay, 438 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: you undermind Donald Trump. Yes, you're you're running a shadow 439 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: government in the last days of Trump's presidency for the 440 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: last three weeks. Yes, great, we would love to hire you. 441 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: Come on down. You're our joint chiefs of Staff. You're 442 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: the guy. What happens if some of this comes out, 443 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: don't worry about it. We'll go on TV and say 444 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: over and over again, you're an honorable man. You're an 445 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: honorable man that we love. Is doing a great job 446 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: for America. Whatever's happening the rest of the world, we 447 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: don't care. Japan's Defenseminster draws red line and the island 448 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: dispute with China on the brink of a possible war. 449 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. China sending their war their nuclear 450 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: war boats, whatever you want to call them. They're warships 451 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: right right by America, just to screw with us. See 452 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: what we'll do. Don't worry about it. Everything's fine. You 453 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: got rockets being shot off by North Koreas in South Korea. 454 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: It's all good, right, all good. And stocks by the way, 455 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: if you want to know what the world thinks, what 456 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: America thinks. Yeah, stock market doing exactly what you would 457 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: expect in uncertain times dropping now if you notice day 458 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: after day after day, Dao's shedding points despite strong retail 459 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: sales because September had sluggish employment numbers because the private 460 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: sectors havn't compete with the United States government. And while 461 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 1: all this is happening, the worst headline of all we 462 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: now know just how bad it is for the people 463 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: we left behind in Afghanistan. US volunteers are now claiming 464 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: the Taliban is beheading boys between the ages of nine 465 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: and ten and Afghanistan. Former US Army officer he's part 466 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: of a volunteer rescue team seeking to save at risk 467 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: Americans and afghan allies still stuck in the Taliban conquered 468 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: country claim that the extremists have now beheaded two boys, 469 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: ages nine and ten in their reign of terror. An 470 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: Alabama resident, this man, who served in the eighty second 471 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,199 Speaker 1: Airborne Division, joined a group of US veterans and other 472 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: civilians who worked for the African Rescue Crew, which is 473 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 1: trying to get Americans, Green cardholders and US allies out 474 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: of Afghanistan. According to this new report, he also says 475 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: he's disputing the State Department's characterization that there's only a 476 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 1: one hundred Americans left behind. Many have tried to get 477 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: the Pentagon, the State Department, the White House on the 478 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: record saying there's only one hundred. They say, we don't 479 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: know exact numbers. You want to know why they keep 480 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: saying that over and over again, because they know it's 481 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: a lie. They're trying to act like we got almost 482 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: everybody out, when in fact we didn't. He says, hundred. No, No, 483 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: Their group now figures it's closer to a thousand. The number, 484 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: by the way, might include Green card holders, whom the 485 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: State Department is listing in a separate category because their 486 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: lives apparently don't matter. The former officer, whose duties include 487 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: support work in Haiti and Bosnia, expressed her frustration with 488 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: a Biden administration's efforts in Afghanistan to get American and 489 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: US allies out. In many cases, quote, they've been called 490 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: her text by the Taliban with threats. They're moving from 491 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: place to place. Many of them are members of the 492 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: Afghan government. She described the case of an American child 493 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: as African uncle had been killed by the Taliban. We've 494 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: had people shot, beheaded, they're talking and they're taking the kids. 495 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: If you're on the run and they find out where 496 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: your family is, they'll kill your family.

We start out with three hundred three 511 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: weeks ago, we're down to fifty five they've been killed. 512 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: We had two young girls that were with Christian family 513 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: as the Christians had found them after their parents had 514 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: been killed. They were hiding together and then went to 515 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: the market try to get some food.
