1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: This is the warning. It finally makes sense to me

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: why there are so many viagra ads, so many erectile

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: dysfunction ads on CNN during the day. I fully understand

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: the full dimensions of the impotence problem. Watching Jake Tapper

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: interview Steven Miller.

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: I think we're missing the big point here. Do you

7
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: believe does anyone believe that an unaccountable, career tenured bureaucrat

8
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: should be able to approve vast sums of money for

9
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 2: the projects that they personally agree with that no accountable

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: employee in the federal government has reviewed. I'm literally we

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 2: are web meals on wheels.

12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you know we are. But yes, there are

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: no words other than well, I'll wait till we get

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: to the end.

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: If we hadn't stepped in, then billions more dollars, as

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: an example, would have gone to left wing NGOs that

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: fund and were settle illegal aliens and aren't complicit in

18
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: many cases and facilitating child trafficking. Okay, so obviously will

19
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: never never apologize the American Obviously, nobody's in favor of

20
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: child trafficking.

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there's lots of people who support the human traffickers,

22
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: the cartels, the human traffickers and the customers who walk

23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: in across America to all the hidden whorehouses. They like

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 1: the human traffickers. Why couldn't you ask this guy a question, Jake?

25
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: Why did you let him filibuster? And the answer is

26
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: the same one to why I won't see Jim Acosta

27
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: on CNN anymore? Because there has been a great capitulation,

28
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: a cowardice that has risen up and has obsumed much

29
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: of the Washington political media who now covers Washington looking

30
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: up from bended knee. There are many stories playing out

31
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: all across America, a nation of three one hundred and

32
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: forty million people and scores of tens of millions of

33
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: Americans are inconvenience this morning, Donald Trump has shut down

34
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: the government effectively. Now, if you want to appreciate incompetence,

35
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: it's shutting down the government without a plan, without a purpose.

36
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: Donald his team of ass can't figure out how to

37
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: do whatever it is they want to do without shutting

38
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: down Medicaid and meals on wheels. Apparently not. But I

39
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: gotta tell you count me in the unsympathetic category for

40
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: the inconveniences that tens of millions of Americans are about

41
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: to experience because within their number it is a multitude

42
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: that did not vote, and there is a lesson now

43
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: that they must learn. There's a difference between being inconvenienced

44
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: and suffering. Because most Americans are soft, they confuse the two.

45
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: But this is the consequences of voting for a disorder

46
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: adult maniac to be the commander in chief and allowing

47
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: him to fill the government with confirmed positions from amongst

48
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: a Star Wars creature canteena of na'ir Dowell's misfits, abusers, drunks, criminals,

49
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: and extremists. It will end badly, and therefore no one

50
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: should be surprised that it has started badly. We are

51
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: on a road down, and on that road down, people

52
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: will be hurt. But this is what the nation has

53
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: chosen in their infinite wisdom, with forty nine point nine

54
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: percent of the American people saying to Donald Trump, after

55
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: looking around and seeing the corruption and hearing the condescension,

56
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: burn it down. And so the burning has begun. There

57
00:03:53,640 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: is no story in the news today that is more putrid, based, disgraceful, pathetic,

58
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: and weak need than what has been served up by

59
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: three reporters journalists functioning as court reporter stignographers taking dictation

60
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: from some unnamed anonymous source. In the Pentagon, a shadowy

61
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: X file cigarette smoking man type character who offers dark,

62
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: dark insinuations against the green beret general who served the

63
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: United States of America in uniform service for forty seven

64
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: faithful years, rising to the most senior position, Chairman of

65
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Donald Trump has stripped the

66
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: Pentagon of his portrait the Washington Post through an unnamed

67
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: senior defense official who is not concerned with the defense

68
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: of the nation or the life and safety with the

69
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: crew aboard a ballistic missile submarine somewhere out there in

70
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: the oceans on patrol. No. Instead, they are fixated on

71
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: play cating the Commander and Chief Captain Queg come to

72
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: the White House in search for evermore of his strawberries.

73
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: There are no words. The United States military is steeped

74
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: the concepts of duty and honor, and their commander in

75
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: chief is a prince of pettiness. Let's understand that the

76
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: goal of stripping General Millie's security detail is that he

77
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: be assassinated on American soil by foreign agents from Iran,

78
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: where he is under legitimate and serious death threat by

79
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: I don't care what party you belong to, former Chairman

80
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Four star Army general

81
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: gets killed by Iranian agents on American soil. My friends,

82
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: you understand that's an act of war, and MAGA has

83
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: framed it in advance as an occasion to be celebrated,

84
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: to raise the MAGA flag high and maybe give the

85
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: hell and Hello's salute. General Milly, he committed a sin,

86
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: all right. He wrote a resignation letter that went undelivered.

87
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: In it, he called Donald Trump a fascist, and with

88
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: regard to his right to share it in retirement to

89
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: warn the country, he had as much legitimate right to

90
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: do so as Douglas MacArthur did when he said the

91
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: words duty, honor country. Donald Trump has repudiated those words.

92
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: He has desecrated those words. He has put the general's

93
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: life in danger. He has put his family's life in danger.

94
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: Why the Washington Post won't report why they have omitted it.

95
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: Trump administration is threatening that in retirement the general shall

96
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: be reduced in rank by one star to lieutenant general.

97
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: There is no indignity that they will not try to

98
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: bring upon the general and Where are General Millie's peers,

99
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: Where is America's four star officers in retirement? It seems

100
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: they've gone into hiding. We know they are on the

101
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: defense contractor boards, and we know that they are in

102
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: the hedge fund boardrooms, and we can hear their silence.

103
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: They have abandoned General Milly to a scumbag pack. Who

104
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: is hunting him down. Who is defending the reputation, the

105
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: dignity and the history of the armed forces of the

106
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: United States, Who is standing up and saying we will

107
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: not allow the politicization of the United States Army. And

108
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: the answer is no body. General Millie has a problem.

109
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: He made a big mistake. He should not have accepted

110
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's pardon because General Milly did nothing wrong. And

111
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: the Washington Post article makes all sorts of insinuations, all

112
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: sorts of veiled, dark accusations, each one offered with a

113
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: cloak of anonymity, with not even a hint of what

114
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: it is that General Milly did, except for there will

115
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: be an inspector general and a witch hunt to find something.

116
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: And the reason for that is Donald Trump has the

117
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: power to do it. And he's angry that he faced consequences,

118
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: not for things that were made up out of whole

119
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: cloth and thin air, but his misconduct, his criminal conduct.

120
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: And so now that he has power, sixteen hundred thugs

121
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: have been let loose. He has formed his militia, he

122
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: has shut down the government, he has cut off foreign aid.

123
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: He has stoked conflict with Jordan, with Egypt, with Canada,

124
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: with Mexico, with Columbia, with Denmark, with Panama. And it

125
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: is one week in one week, and he is hunting,

126
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: not the cartels. The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs

127
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: of Staff a green Beret named Mark Milly. Now General

128
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: Milly is a specialist in irregular warfare. Politics is a

129
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: form of warfare. He's fighting a new type of war.

130
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: And every weapon his honor, his decency, his dignity is truthfulness.

131
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: His patriotism is to be weaponized against him by the

132
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: most loathsome of men. A piece of advice for General Milly,

133
00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: I respect a great deal. Request immediately, General, a recall

134
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: to active duty. Face court martial. Stand up and face it.

135
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: Show Donald Trump that the military justice system is not

136
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: his sandbox. The nation will have your back, and so

137
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: will the officers on that court martial. Sometimes, when you

138
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: are outmatched, outnumbered, facing a superior force, you have to

139
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: bring the tiger to the cave. And in this instance,

140
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: what that means is putting Donald Trump on trial. Give

141
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: him what he wants without fear, and please God, General,

142
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: do not end the knee. There has been too much

143
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: of that already. General Milly is a patriot and an

144
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: American hero, not because he's some action figure, but he

145
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 1: lived a life of service for fifty years. General Milly

146
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: deserves better. The United States Army deserves better, but they're

147
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: not going to get it, so they better get ready

148
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: to fight. There will be an opposition to Donald Trump,

149
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: because there must be, because what he's doing portends what's

150
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: happening next, and what's happening next or after that or

151
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: after that or after that. He's going to get everybody's attention,

152
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: and when it does, it will be time to start

153
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: marching and protesting and raising the flag high and saying

154
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: the most powerful word in the English language that has

155
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: not been said nearly enough, particularly when it comes to

156
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:40,120
