00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,880

24
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,520

25
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,800

33
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 6: to Rickover's costs the way Rickover wanted it. The fact

40
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: a rick.

41
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,480

00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,640

Speaker 7: any other man that I ever met.

44
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 2: The question comes up, what would Rickover do? And the

45
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: answer is I know exactly what I do, and I'm

46
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: not willing to do that, But I don't get the

47
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: things done that he got done.

48
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,560

Speaker 9: United States Navy. You look around. You've got thousands of

83
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 9: it shipping around me. Here, you've got the USS Truman.

84
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 9: You've got the Cariflage over here, which is an amphibious

85
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 9: a battle group shift, just the most impressive. And like

86
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 9: I said, Steve, this is stuff that you're familiar with.

87
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 9: But for me, I'm excited like a twelve year old

88
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 9: because I see all this impressive, the scale and scope

89
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 9: of these things for people that have never been next

90
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 9: to a battleship, they don't understand how big.

91
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: These things are.

92
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 9: This thing is the USS Truman is eleven hundred feet long.

93
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 9: It's eleven football fields long on top.

94
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 5: It's a remarkable thing, you see.

95
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 9: But I do want to say something about what you

96
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 9: guys were talking about here a minute ago, about pivotal

97
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 9: naval battles, and no more than in the last month

98
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 9: that we've seen in this revival happening in America. And

99
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 9: made no mistake, Providence has played a role in America

100
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 9: a success in military battles, especially out of the water.

101
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 9: You go to Admiral Hazard Perry in Lake Eries seeking

102
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 9: the British fleet when he was completely outnumbered eighteen fourteen,

103
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 9: impossible to do. But I go to June fourth, nineteen

104
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 9: forty two, the Battle of Midway.

105
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: We were out.

106
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 9: Gunned, outmanned, out had and by God, we made it happen.

107
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 9: Between the fourth and seventh of June nineteen forty two,

108
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 9: the Battle of Midway. It shifted that entire Pacific domination

109
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 9: that you were talking about earlier, pushing the Japanese Empire

110
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 9: back and then of course beating them later in the war.

111
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 9: These are important consideration. When you look at Americans be providence.

112
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 9: You have the look of the grace of God that

113
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 9: came in and made these things possible for us to

114
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 9: win incredible battles against all odds time and again, for

115
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 9: this nation to be standing here two hundred and fifty

116
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 9: years later. Steven, I think that cannot be overstated when

117
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 9: you look at the impressive I mean, it is really

118
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 9: jaw dropping to sit here. Like I said, I'm like

119
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 9: a kid looking at all this impressive machinery.

120
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 5: Theme.

121
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: Thank God, I'm going to American and I.

122
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 9: Really mean that, because it's a great place to be.

123
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 9: The weather's perfect, The President's gonna arrive, He's gonna speak

124
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 9: here later, Jacks, because with him, he's gonna watch some

125
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 9: live fire exercises. We look forward to that. We got,

126
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 9: by the way, cameras everywhere. I think we've got a

Speaker 9: dozen different camera set ups here. I'm real America's voice today,

Speaker 9: So that's pretty exciting. And let me do one more

129
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 9: thing before I jump back to you. Let me thank

00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 9: code voice there, I got that in what a Lovely Day?

140
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: Tell you what Gruberg, you totally nailed it. In fact,

141
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go I got to go off your comment there,

142
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: which is so perceptive. This is one of the reasons

143
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: I think the Navy him is so powerful for those

144
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: who men the Navy because of the divine providence intervention

145
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: as so many of our naval battles. So I'm a

146
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: pivot here and when we go back to President Trump

147
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: is a lover of history, particularly military history. He has

148
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: seen the Samuel Elliott Morrison off of his great writing

149
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: of the naval operations of the Second World War that

150
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: made the film Victory at Sea, a multi part documentary

151
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: that Michael Packwill has appreciated, such a great film. President

152
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: Trumpet moves in. President Trump today is the enthusiasm of

153
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: a young man. I mean, he loves this. This is

154
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: like he's very much like Teddy Roosevelt in that regard

155
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: of he is looking forward to today and it's a

156
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: long time coming. I think we should have done it

157
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: many years ago. But President Trump is doing today and

158
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: couldn't be more appropriate on the two undred and fiftieth

159
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: anniversary of the birth of the navy. But finell you

160
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: first and then records on this. It's about I want

161
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: to make the point about the Chinese Commuist Party Navy

162
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: today in World War Two, given all the overwhelming power

163
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: in the build up of the Imperial Japanese Navy, where

164
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: they actually thought, although the Imperial Japanese Army kind of

165
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: ran the deal with Tojo in the military dictatorship that

166
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 2: essentially ran Japan, their navy was the striking force against

167
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: the United States, the great power in the economic co

168
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: prosperity feure. They had to take it out of the

169
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: United States Navy, and they were going to take it

170
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: out of Pearl Harbor. One thing we found both at

171
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: Pearl Harbor and Midway and Leyte Golf and the ability

172
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: to fight the ship, the ability to make those naval

173
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: battle is unlike any other battles in the world because

174
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: they're so lethal, they're so confusing. There's so much happening,

175
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: it's so happening so quickly that their inability what we

176
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 2: call fight the ship to make fundamentally bad decisions in

177
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: the deciding moment when it counts, and that what we

178
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 2: call the unforgiving minute. Was one of the central reasons

179
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: besides intelligence and firepower in our courage was our leaders

180
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: like the Royal Navy, like Nelson, and had we been trained,

181
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 2: made those correct decisions. So Fanw, I'll talk to you first.

182
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: This Chinese cameras party the argument, I still kind of

183
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 2: make the argument, they ain't never fought at sea right

184
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: and sea battles and sea warfare, and I realized you

185
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: got technology, had ai, you got robots, you got all that.

186
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, it comes down

187
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: to humans and human calculation and the courage under intense

188
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 2: gunfire and death and destruction to make the correct decisions

189
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: in the unforgiving minute.

190
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 10: Sir, Yes, Steve, you know, with Gruber's enthusiasts and say

191
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 10: he's a twelve year old being there at Norfolk and

192
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 10: seeing all the ships, you know, if I was there,

193
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 10: I'd be exactly the same, and I served in the

194
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 10: uniform for twenty nine years. You just can't get enough

195
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 10: of it. But let me tell you just this last week,

196
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 10: during their National Day in Hong Kong, the Chinese had

197
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 10: a number of their warships in Port Hong Kong, and

198
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 10: they had thousands of people lining up to go on

199
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 10: board their ships and see their naval power. And in

200
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 10: twenty second of September, the Chinese launched for the first

201
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 10: time ever a fifth generation stealth fighter using electromagnetic aircraft

202
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 10: launch system from the deck of their newest carrier, the Fujian,

203
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 10: something that the United States Navy has yet to do.

204
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 10: The USS Gerald R. Ford has yet to be able

205
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 10: to launch F thirty five lightning to stealth fighter from

206
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 10: the deck of the Ford. So they have skipped an

207
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 10: entire generation of technology in certain key areas like steam catapults.

208
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 10: They went from ski jemps now into electromagnetics. So the

209
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 10: question that you ask is do they have the wherewithal

210
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 10: and the knowledge and the ability to fight and win

211
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 10: a war. And that is to be determined. But I

212
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 10: can tell you from my career in naval intelligence and

213
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 10: watching them, is that they are testing and training like

214
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 10: we used to test and train. They're not controlled like

215
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 10: the Soviets, were in terms of their fighters are getting

216
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 10: minute by minute control, they have limited fuel. They don't

217
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 10: want them to defect in all of those kinds of

218
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 10: things that we saw with the Soviets. We don't see

219
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 10: that with the Chinese. In fact, what we see is

220
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 10: the opposite. They're taking to heart the issues and the

221
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 10: abilities to empower their people to connect, to use electromagnetic

222
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 10: spectrum to integrate fires from the land, from the air,

223
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 10: from this under the sea, on the sea, and this

224
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 10: is something that should worry us. Doesn't mean that we

225
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 10: have to give up, but we should not take it

226
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 10: lightly or for granted that their lack of being in

227
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 10: a naval war is something that makes them inferior to

228
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 10: us for many of us. Even though we've launched those

229
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 10: strikes into Tehran this week and we fought thirty five

230
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 10: years of carrier operations where we were flying basically unopposed

231
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 10: over Afghanistan and Iraq, that's a lot different than a

232
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 10: naval war when we're fighting inside that first and second

233
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 10: island chain against a force that's concentrated and has been

234
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 10: working and practicing together to sink the US Pacific Fleet

235
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 10: and make no mistake for a quarter of a century

236
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 10: the Chinese Communist Party has been funding and building a

237
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 10: military force across the Navy, their space, the air forces,

238
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 10: and their undersea forces to sink the US Pacific Fleet

239
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 10: and the Seventh Fleet. And we better be prepared for that.

240
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't know psychologically, the American people are

241
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: ready to have her Carrier Battlegroup go to the bottom

242
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: off of Taiwan. We'll talk about all about that today.

243
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: We're going to take a short commercial break. We're packed

244
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 2: with some of the smartest people about naval warfare and geopolitics.

245
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: We're going to return in Navy two fifty in a moment.

246
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: We'll be right back with more in Navy two fifty

247
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: Seapower and Freedom. We want to thank our sponsor Patriot

248
00:12:53,800 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: Mobile for standing with rad Welcome back to Navy two

249
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: fifty Sea Valor and Freedom. We want to thank our

250
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: sponsor AMAC for standing with.

251
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: Rab Okay, Welcome back. I really want to thank Real

252
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: America's Voice everybody for doing all the logistic day is

253
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: going to be. It's going to be amazing. It's gonna

254
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: be a little complicated. We're gonna juggle. We got so

255
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 2: many great folks about naval operations, about strategy, geopolitics, all

256
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 2: of it. I want to go to Michael Pack and

257
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: Michael The Last six hundred Meters, which is essentially a

258
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:43,359
Speaker 2: film basically about the Marine Corps in in fighting in Fallujah.

259
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: First Fallujah, but then you got second, you got what

260
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 2: Najaff and then second Fallujah. I want to talk today

261
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: and movies fantastic and I think we're going to play

262
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 2: it actually was an October thirtie. You'll give us, you'll

263
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: give us the details of that. But your film on

264
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: our Rickover, I think it came off an assessment. You

265
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: need the scene polling or iehead that they did a poll,

266
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: and I think only three percent of the American people

267
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 2: recognize his name. And he is a giant of the

268
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: twentieth century. He's a giant because he is the father

269
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: of the nuclear Navy. Walk me through what inspired you

270
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 2: to do to do Rickover story? How did you convince

271
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: Tim Blake Nelson to play Ammer Ricover. The film's fabulous

272
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: and I don't think it's been seen enough and we

273
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: got to make sure we push it out.

274
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 4: Michael Pack, Well, people can see it. It's on Amazon.

275
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 4: It's if you got to It's Rickover The Birth of

276
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 4: nuclear power. I agree that he's really underappreciated, you know,

277
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 4: and all the celebration of the navy, it's easy to

278
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 4: neglect submarines and nuclear submarines. Of course, the aircraft carriers

279
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 4: are nuclear power too. But you know, adamore Ricover is

280
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 4: like a hero of the Cold War, and I think

281
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 4: that whole war is actually neglected. You know, World War

282
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 4: two far more dramatic. Midway as someone just was talking

283
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 4: about a very dramatic battle.

284
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 2: But hey, Michael condos for one second, let's go to

285
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: Jack Pasovia. We've got some Okay, okay, fine, we're by

286
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: the way. We're going to have to play by ear.

287
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: Let's get Posto back up, Michael, continue on. We're going

288
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: to go to Jack Pasoviic live when we get him.

289
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: We thought we had him, we didn't just continue on

290
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: about Recover problem.

291
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 4: I you know, you know, he is an undersung hero,

292
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: just like you said. And I also think he's the

293
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 4: kind of naval hero that doesn't yet neglected. I mean,

294
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 4: Pete haig Seff and others talk about the warrior ethos,

295
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 4: and that is really important. But adamal Recover was a

296
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 4: great engineer, an entrepreneur within the Navy. People compare him

297
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 4: to Steve Jobs or somebody like that. It's hard to

298
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 4: be innovated within the Navy and created, as you say,

299
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 4: the nuclear Navy. It's a huge achievement and we would

300
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 4: not have won the Cold War without it. I think

301
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 4: in a way, the Nautilus going under the pole, under

302
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 4: the North Pole should be celebrated in the same way

303
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 4: that Midway is celebrated. It's it's it's a it's a

304
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 4: center signal to the Soviets that we control the terrain

305
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 4: under the sea as important really as the surface of

306
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 4: the city.

307
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: The reason the Cold War, the reason the Cold War

308
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: to become hotter than it was, was because of Rickover

309
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: in the Nuclear Navy and our and our dominance in

310
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 2: naval power. This is why the Soviets got the joke

311
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: right and started building such a global, global navy to

312
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: try to catch up with this. And it's the reason Reagan.

313
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 2: The central part of Reagan's uh take down the Evil

314
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: Empire before he got to Star Wars and all that,

315
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: was the first We're going to show them that we're

316
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: gonna be We're gonna go from two hundred ships and

317
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: a deteriorating navy right to back to six hundred capital

318
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: ships and tell them that we're prepared to fight him

319
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: everywhere in the world. If it was not for Rickover,

320
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: number one, I'm not so sure we would won the

321
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: Cold War. And number two, it had been a lot hotter.

322
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 2: I think it would have gotten a lot hotter than

323
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: it did an actual gunfire. Michael packed your thoughts.

324
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I mean, he is responsible for one third of

325
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 4: the triad, you know, nuclear submarines, to say nothing of

326
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 4: aircraft carriers and commercial nuclear power. But yeah, without that

327
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 4: part of the triad, and I'm all recover a big

328
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 4: advocate for nuclear submarines. He points us out, it's the

329
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 4: survivable leg of the triad. You could shoot down planes,

330
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 4: could you could hit ICBM silos, which they all Soviets

331
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 4: knew where they all were. It was the survivable element

332
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 4: and we had dominance in that area. And that really

333
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 4: I think you're right. It kept a lid on the

334
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 4: Cold War, and he was tireless in that way. We

335
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 4: don't really celebrate, in fact, the heroes of the Cold

336
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 4: War period, but almal Ricover is unfairly neglected. I hope

337
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 4: my movie doesn't help celebrate them. I think people should

338
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 4: go and understand him. I think that kind of the

339
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 4: Ricover approach is really needed today if we're going to

340
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 4: really rebuild the Navy. In addition to the warrior ethos

341
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 4: and tough fighting men and women, we need to know

342
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 4: how to commissioned submarines, how to deal with contractors, and

343
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 4: how to how to demand the engineering standards that he demanded.

344
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 4: You know, he reformed the Navy at so many levels,

345
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 4: and they hated him for it. I mean, he was

346
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 4: a complete maverick. I don't know if somebody like that

347
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 4: could survive today. That I fought every CNO and secretary

348
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 4: of the Navy. You know, from the beginning of the end.

349
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 6: That was so I was.

350
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: I was there when they I was there when they

351
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: forced him to retire with some eighty some years old. No,

352
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 2: he's a giant. I'm gonna get into more about Rickover

353
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: and about that. But the one thing we have to

354
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: get the mentality of Rickover to make America great again.

355
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 2: It was his zero tolerance. They had to have zero

356
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: tolerance for any fault in the nuclear power plant. He

357
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 2: knew that if it ever had a problem at see

358
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 2: the whole the whole thing would be scuttled. The whole

359
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 2: thing would be shut down. Talk about his maniac focus

360
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 2: on perfection, on human perfection with machines. That to me

361
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 2: is his lasting legacy that this guy thought this thing

362
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: through and understood you couldn't have anything go wrong. And

363
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 2: I have to have basically average sailors, average Americans that

364
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 2: I train as enlisted guys. And I got to take

365
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 2: this officer corps and make sure that because I'm getting

366
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: maybe above average people, and maybe they got certain qualities

367
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 2: that are excellent, but we have to take the entire

368
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 2: operation like the Royal Navy did. You got to take

369
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 2: an organization up to like you got to level up

370
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 2: like five levels. Talk to me about that, Michael.

371
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 4: Well, that's right. They had, you know, to go from

372
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 4: diesel submarines to nuclear submarines required a level of engineering

373
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,719
Speaker 4: perfection that not only the Navy, but no company had

374
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 4: ever seen. And he had lots of ways of doing that,

375
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 4: I mean. In our interview, Ralph Nader, a big opponent

376
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 4: of nuclear power, said that if adamal Ricov ran commercial

377
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 4: nuclear power, he would not oppose it because he knows

378
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 4: it would be safe. Not sure one hundred percent believed him,

379
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 4: but still everybody knew the nuclear Navy was safe. He

380
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 4: was demanding. I mean, he had techniques like he had

381
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 4: spies at every one of the contractors, and he forbade

382
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 4: them from ever socializing with the contractors. You can't go

383
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 4: out for dinner, you can't become their friends. They were

384
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 4: effectively spies, and the contractors hated them. But he knew

385
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 4: what was going on, and he knew when there was

386
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 4: a problem, and he knew how to fix it. And

387
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 4: all along with the chain he set new standards and

388
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 4: new techniques. They're new in a way, but I think

389
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 4: they could be relearned today. And if we're going to

390
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 4: build up the Navy and build up the military, we

391
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 4: need to relearn those lessons. And luckily the recovers example

392
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 4: is there to study.

393
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: Okay, President Trump, there you see Marine one. President Trump,

394
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: were now getting ready to start things. Absolutely incredible jack

395
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 2: of Soviets with the presidents to make sure that President

396
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: Trump arriving at Air Force one at Joint Base Andrews

397
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: didn't do a press gaggle. I guess President Trump taken

398
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: seriously today, Michael, hang on for one second. I want

399
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 2: to bring in Captain Brent Saddler, Captain Saddler, you were

400
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 2: a nuclear submarine or I think you came in. Were

401
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 2: you interviewed by Rickover or you post that generation? I

402
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 2: know that Ema Ricover. I think his last tour was

403
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: when I was still a grundon, a junior officer of

404
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: the Chief of Naval Operations. Did you come in afterwards,

405
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 2: because Ricover used to interview everybody before he accepted you

406
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: in there, Captain Saddler, Yeah.

407
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me on.

408
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 8: I was enjoying the conversation about Adam Ricover. Now I

409
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 8: missed the joy of having the Admiral interview me, but

410
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 8: I definitely had his success in nineteen ninety three, that

411
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 8: first interview that all midshipmen from the Naval Academy had

412
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 8: to go through, and certainly anyone that was going to

413
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 8: go want to become a nuclear submariner had to endure

414
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 8: highly technical and just as pointed as it was I.

415
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 4: Think under Rickover.

416
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 8: But the things like cutting the front part of the

417
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 8: chairs so that you were always sliding forward and uncomfortable,

418
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 8: some of those danigans, those were gone by the time

419
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 8: I went through.

420
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 2: There's a commander in chief right there, Commander Chief leaving

421
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: Marine one going to Air Force one of the first

422
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 2: ladies with him. Like I said, President Trump couldn't be

423
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 2: more enthusiastic about this, that he saw his true social pack.

424
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: Before going back at Captain Sadler talk a little bit

425
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 2: about Rickover's interviews. What he would do. He had a

426
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 2: tradition of being what he wanted to see what people

427
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 2: responded under pressure.

428
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 4: Well, that's right. So he didn't just ask technical questions.

429
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 4: He tried to ask questions that you couldn't possibly anticipate

430
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 4: and he and he was devastating. If you didn't give

431
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 4: the right answer, you were out and you were correct. Steve,

432
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 4: he interviewed absolutely everybody, every midshipman who wanted to be

433
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 4: in the nuclear Navy. He interviewed them from the time

434
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 4: from the time he ran the nuclear Navy in the

435
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 4: fifties to the mid eighties when he left. And we

436
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,120
Speaker 4: dramatized three or four of these interviews in the film,

437
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 4: and they are people never forgot them. There were many

438
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 4: people traumatized by them. One that I like that puts

439
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 4: them in a nice setting is he demanded He asked

440
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 4: every person whether they repaired their own car, and if

441
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 4: they didn't repair their own car, they were out. If

442
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 4: they that was the end, and he talked to a

443
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 4: female who wanted to be in the Nuclenavy asked her

444
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 4: if she repaired her car and she said no, and

445
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 4: he said, well you're out. And then she called them

446
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 4: on Monday and said, I've spent the weekend taking my

447
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 4: car apart and putting it back together again. I just

448
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 4: wanted to know, and he said, well, if you did.

449
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: That, you're in.

450
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 4: So that's rick Over, you know. He asked a different,

451
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 4: different kind of question, the question the test who you are?

452
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 2: You always be talking back to this. This is the

453
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 2: point I was trying to make about fighting the show.

454
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 2: Why did rick Over put youngmanshipmen under these presious situations?

455
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: Why did rick Over want to test what their metal

456
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 2: was not? Their technical knowledge was is very important. They

457
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: had to be brilliant, right, You had to be the

458
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 2: top of your class us or close to it. You

459
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: had no technically He understood that in running a nuclear

460
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 2: power plant on a Navy submarine, right, and in charge

461
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: of ballistic missiles, right, that are the part of the

462
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: triad of the nuclear force. You were going to be

463
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: put in the under circumstances they're going to test you

464
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 2: as a person, right, just like at Midway, just like

465
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 2: at Pearl Harbor, just like at Lay take Off, all

466
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 2: the great naval battles. The group's right, it's that it's

467
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 2: that unforgiving minute, is what Rickover is trying to do.

468
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: What is your character? How are you going to respond

469
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: under pressure? I'm gonna put your you're eighteen and nineteen

470
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 2: years old, I'm gonna put you under pressure. Pressure, and

471
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 2: if you can't handle it, you're not gonna be a

472
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: handle it later on. And so you're out. And he

473
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 2: was brutal, he was ruthless, uh, and he had to be.

474
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: We wouldn't have had a nuclear navy. We wouldn't have

475
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 2: had we wouldn't be the dominant sea power we are

476
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 2: without Adm. Or Rickover. And that's why he's one of

477
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: the giants of the twentieth century. Hangar for one second.

478
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a break the president. I guess we're

479

Speaker 2: Sovic forty two events. D Jack Bosobag right there, Naval

504
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 2: intelligence officer on the world's greatest Navy fantastic. He's on

505
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 2: Air Force one. We see at the Air Force taxing

506
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: right there, getting ready to take off. There we go

507
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,479
Speaker 2: taxing out there. We're going to cover that live, Michael

508
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: pack before I let you punch, and I'll try to

509
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 2: get you back later in the day if you're available.

510
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 2: But Michael, I want to also make sure people understand

511
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: about Emma Rickover. Ama Ricover was Jewish in a time

512
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 2: the Navy's always been released in the let's say the

513
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: nineteenth and twentieth century. I think the more aristocratic of

514
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: the services, very hierarchical, very very in customs and traditions,

515
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 2: allowed those that came from the Royal Navy and had

516
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: certain ways of doing things. Talk about really Rickover his toughness,

517
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 2: A lot of it was being a young Jewish midshipman

518
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: and then a naval officer. And what was not particularly

519
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: accommodating to to the Jewish faith are to people there

520
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: of that were Jews, sir.

521
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 4: Indeed, I mean you mentioned this on the break. You

522
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 4: know he was in the Naval Academy and in his

523
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 4: yearbook they perforated his page so that if you didn't

524
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 4: want that annoying Jew in your yearbook, you could tear

525
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 4: it out without actually damaging the yearbook. A very navy

526
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 4: persnickety thing, if you don't mind my saying. Steve, and

527
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 4: it was shocking, I mean his actual page and the

528
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 4: next to it was a parody of a Jew with

529
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 4: a hook nose. I mean, you could not These things

530
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 4: were really you know, he was not very Jewish, but

531
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 4: his name was Hyman Rickover. He was obviously Jewish. He

532
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 4: sounded Jewish. Another amazing thing about adamal Ricover is he

533
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 4: fled Poland as a young boy and he remembers seeing

534
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 4: Cossacks coming into his village on a program on horses

535
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 4: with sabers slashing Jews. And to go from that to

536
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 4: creating the most advanced nuclear submarine nuclear aircraft carrier is

537
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 4: an amazing transformation of firepower in his lifetime, and that

538
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 4: he was instrumental with in But he came here speaking

539
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 4: only Yiddish, and he learned English, so he was he

540
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 4: was here, so he was you know, they came to Chicago,

541
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 4: and he only went to the Naval Academy to get

542
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 4: a free education. So yes, he had to deal with

543
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 4: a sort of I would call it more of a

544
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 4: gentleman's agreement kind of anti semitism that you know was

545
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 4: in the Navy at that time. And as you said

546
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 4: also in the break, he was not everybody's kind of

547
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 4: naval officer.

548
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 11: You know.

549
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 4: They loved the idea of.

550
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: You know, of.

551
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 4: You know, the of naval officers on the bridge commanding troops.

552
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 4: You know. So he was not that kind of a person.

553
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 4: He was the engineer, the technical, the technology genius.

554
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 2: We're raised when you when you're in the Navy, or

555
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: the stories you read that it's perspired you like me,

556
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 2: it's Lord Nell right at Trafalgar, It's it's John Paul Jones.

557
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: You're on the bridge. Guns up. You know, I've only

558
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 2: begun to fight. I have not yet begun to fight.

559
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: He was, He was there. We go right there, Air

560
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 2: Force one talking about technology and Air Force one leaving

561
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: Andrews Air Force Base, not Joint Base Andrews. Come on, man,

562
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: we got to get all the wokeness out Andrews Air

563
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 2: Force Base and heading down to uh to the Norfolk

564
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: Naval Station with the Commander in Chief and Jack Pasoviacs

565
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: with him. Steve Grover is going to be deployed out.

566
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 2: I think gonna combat here shortly so we're gonna we're

567
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: gonna have amazing coverage, camera coverage of all this. Uh, Pack,

568
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 2: he's an extraordinary individual, and you're right, he's engineering basically

569
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: an engineering duty officer, an engineering officer back in those

570
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: days when those guys were also considered second and third

571
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 2: class citizens inside the hierarchy of the Navy. But he

572
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 2: hammered his way through and most importantly convinced everybody, and

573
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 2: then he delivered it just one, just one. Making the

574
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: sales pitch. He delivered time and time and time and

575
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: time again, because he said, we cannot have any mistakes.

576
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: We have any mistakes, they're going to shut this whole

577
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: program down. Pack, where do people go get the last

578
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: six on our meters? I think we have a special

579
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 2: showing of the last six hundred meters later in October,

580
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: which we're going to make a big deal about. And

581
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 2: uh we got to do something on the Ricover film

582
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: to make sure that everybody sees it and understands why

583
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: Admiral Hyman Rickover is one of the giants of the

584
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 2: twentieth century. Where they go, sir, well.

585
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 4: The the Ricover film Rickover The Birth of Nuclear Power.

586
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 4: You can stream it, get it on Amazon stream it

587
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 4: or by it and the last six hundred meters, which

588
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 4: is about the biggest battles since Vietnam, Felujah and Najaff

589
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 4: they were mainly marine battles. Now, look, the Marines are

590
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 4: technically part of the Navy, though they don't like to

591
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 4: admit it. However, we are happy.

592
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 12: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What do you mean technically, No, don't

593
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 12: bund to the Yeah, the Marines don't think there are

594
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 12: any part of the Navy.

595
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 4: Trust me, I don't think we know that they are.

596
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 4: But our film, The Lessex and Meters will be will

597
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 4: be broadcast by PBS after many years of not wanting

598
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 4: to broadcast it November tenth, at ten pm, the day

599
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 4: before Veterans Day, the Marine Corps birthday. I'm sure you'll

600
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 4: have celebration of their birthday to Steve, and it's a

601
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 4: pre for it, and we hope everybody watches it. I

602
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 4: think that it does celebrate the war Ethos. You know,

603
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 4: it's a different kind of warrior in the least six

604
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 4: hundred meters, not the Admiral ricover kind. And it takes

605
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 4: both kinds to make a great military. I often think

606
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 4: Adamal ricovers a long fight back and forth with Curtis

607
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 4: LeMay about which part of the nuclear triad counted most.

608
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 4: But you need and Curtis LeMay was very much in

609
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 4: the tough military, you know, war at all cost kind

610
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 4: of guy. And it takes both kinds to make a

611
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 4: great military. America was lucky to have them, even though

612
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 4: they did not like each.

613
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 2: Other, although both although both they hated each other, although

614
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 2: both of them understood technical proficiency and understanding. It's it's

615
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,479
Speaker 2: the great question that Rickover said. If you don't, if

616
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: you don't fix your own car and strip your own

617
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 2: car down, you're in the wrong line. You're in the long, long,

618
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 2: wrong line of work here in the nuclear Navy. By

619
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: the way, pack you've got great range, as we say

620
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 2: in the business last six entred meters an hour and

621
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: a half hour, forty five minute gunfight. And then you've

622
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 2: got Admiral ric Over, which is a brilliant statement about

623
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 2: human human excellence and pushing the envelope. So thank you

624
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 2: very much. So where's your social media, Michael? Where they

625
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:38,960

00:33:55,280 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 4: own social media is Michael Pack Underscore and I I

632

Speaker 4: a training program for young conservative filmmakers which I encourage

633
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 4: all your viewers and listeners to get filmmakers. They know how

634
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 4: to apply to.

635
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: Perfect And why Michael Pack is one of my heroes

636
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: because for three years he stood the endurance test of

637
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell, these people torturing him and the media torturing

638
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 2: him as he stood as a nominee for President Trump

639
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 2: to take over essentially voice of American in the entire

640
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 2: global platform. He had every opportunity to quit. He would

641
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 2: not quit, no matter how much they tore him with

642
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 2: party says, I'm not going to do this. If we fold,

643
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 2: if I personally fold, if I personally fold, they'll kill everybody, right,

644
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 2: and I'm going to stand in here. And that is

645
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: why he is a moral hero, Sir.

646
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 4: I remember you saying you didn't think I had it

647
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 4: in me, Steve, And I didn't think I had it

648
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 4: in me either. But when push comes to shove, you

649
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 4: have to either your back down in your amiliated or

650
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 4: you stand up. I mean, it's just it's maybe it

651
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 4: is my mild version of that of that hour of testing.

652
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 4: You know, who knows what you're going to do.

653
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 2: But all right, no, no, no, you came through the test.

654
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 2: There's hey, in that first term, there were so many

655
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 2: people that quit and just said I can't take it.

656
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna drop nomination. You said, I'm not going to

657
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 2: do it. Three years. I think the longest I'm standing

658
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 2: the nomination. That three years or three much the longest

659
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 2: I think outstanding nomination ever be confirmed eventually in the

660
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 2: history of the country. You stood in the breach. Dude,

661
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 2: you're a hero. You're you're one of the toughest ombres

662
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 2: because you've been tested. You came through the test of fire. Sir,

663
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: appreciate you being on here today. Michael, thank you. Brother.

664
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: He's one of the giants, right, He's pack every opportunity

665
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 2: to stand down and no, I'm not going to do

666
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 2: it President Trump nominating me. I'm going to stick out.

667
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 2: I don't care how they destroy me. And man, that

668
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 2: is the enduring moment. Captain Sadler, he wrote a book

669
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 2: on a couple of books, one amazing book on naval strategy.

670
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 2: You've also in a nuclear submarine office. I just want

671
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 2: to ask you, we're going to go break here in

672
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes. The Navy, I argue, in the

673
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 2: Twelve Day War and the total obliteration part the expeditionary

674
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 2: force that we sent. They had the great you know,

675
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 2: B two bombers, the stealth bombers and coming in and

676
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 2: blowing up the caves and the things. It was a

677
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 2: good old United States Navy and submarines and Tomahawk missiles

678
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 2: that took down I don't know forty percent of the apparatus.

679
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 2: What do you think about that? That it's still the Navy.

680
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 2: When you want to land a blow, you know the

681
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 2: Navy's going to be there, sir.

682
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 8: Absolutely, And if you want to keep landing those blows

683
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 8: at a distance, it's the Navy's really the only one

684
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 8: that can do it. The air force can surge, but again,

685
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 8: even coming half a world away, it takes a long time.

686
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 8: It takes a lot out of the aircraft and the

687
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 8: people to do that. But a Navy, an aircraft carrier

688
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 8: or an SSGN submarine with over one hundred CREUS missiles ready.

689
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 8: That's a kind of firepower that you can sustain for

690
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 8: more than just a day.

691
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 2: We got about a menupore, we go to break. You

692
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: wrote a book on naval strategy for the twenty first century.

693
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 2: Do you think that people in Capitol Hill understand the

694
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 2: importance of the United States Navy and not just the

695
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 2: defense but the projection of American power.

696
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 11: Yeah?

697
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 8: I think they do. But it wasn't something that just

698
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 8: happened overnight. As soon as I cut the you know,

699
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 8: cut my lines to the Navy and retired in the

700
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 8: summer of twenty twenty, I could actually start talking with

701
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 8: my inside voice outside and you know, my perch up

702
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 8: here on Capitol Hill, I started engaging aggressively, and I'd

703
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 8: have to say, after a few years, it's pretty clear

704
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 8: that folks understand that that a strong.

705
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 4: Navy is not a partisan issue.

706
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 8: It's an American issue. They understand that what keeps our

707
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 8: economy humming safely and securely, and also keeps our interest

708
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 8: in American people safe is having that ability to reach

709
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 8: out and touch the bad guys wherever and wherever they

710
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 8: think they're hiding. And the Navy is the best way

711
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 8: to do that without having to pull the trigger most times,

712
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 8: but took a lot of effort to get to that point.

713
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 8: Laws and legislations acknowledging that Title ten changes in the

714
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 8: last few years, but there's still too much work to

715
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 8: be done at this late stage. Is China's really on

716
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 8: a clock to be ready to take us on in

717
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 8: twenty twenty seven?

718
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 2: Wow, Captain, hang around, We're going to talk about that.

719
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty seven is kind of an inflection point.

720
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 2: We're here at Navy two fifty. The President of the

721
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,720

Speaker 2: have a naval gunfire exercise. We're gonna have some speeches

724
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 2: before then. Short commercial break back in the war room

725
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 2: just a moment.

Speaker 5: And you want to get hostages back? Right, you want

743
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 5: to back or do you not want to buy?

744
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 11: And it's a great deal for Israel, it's a great

745
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 11: deal for the entire Arab world, Muslim world and world.

746
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 5: So we're very happy about it.

747
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 11: I can't tell us when you think the houses you

748
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 11: will start being freed, big person. They're in negotiation right

749
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 11: now as we speak. They've started the negotiation. It'll last

750
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 11: a couple of days. We'll see how it turns out.

751
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 11: But I'm hearing us going.

752
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 1: Very well, are you sending affordable care on subsidies?

753
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 5: We want to fix it so it works.

754
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 11: It's not working. Obamacare has been a disaster for the people,

755
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 11: so we want to have it fixed so it works.

756
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 3: Ordering there it was, I said, we're going to look

757
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 3: at that.

758
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 11: It was amazing. Portland is burning to the ground. It's

759
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 11: insurrectionists all over the place. It's Antifa, and yet the

760
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 11: politicians who are petrified. Look, the politicians are fraid for

761
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 11: their lives. That's the only reason that they say like

762
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 11: there's nothing happening.

763
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 5: And you've seen it.

764
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 11: The place is burning down, and they pretend like there's

765
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 11: nothing happening.

766
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 2: So we'll take a look at the order.

767
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 11: We haven't seen the order yet. The Navy today, the

768
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 11: navy's deployed in the Caribbean against the cartils. What is

769
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 11: the next step on people are against drug trafficing in

770
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 11: South America. Well, we're going to stop drug traffic in

771
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 11: and we've done a lot.

772
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 5: There's nobody.

773
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 11: There's nobody coming in on the water that I can

774
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 11: tell you. The water is like there is nobody. There's

775
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 11: no drugs coming into the water. And we'll take a

776
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 11: look at what phase do is paid a.

777
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 4: Big difference.

778
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 11: Actimmunity on the plot, we have very little. We don't

779
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 11: need flexibility because everybody's pretty much agreed to it. But

780
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 11: there'll always be some changes. But the Mosque plan, I

781
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 11: tell you, it's amazing. You're gonna have peace if you

782
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 11: think about it. Peace in the Middle East for the

783
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 11: first time. And they say, really, three thousand years so

784
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 11: I'm very honored to be a big part of that. Look,

785
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 11: they've been fighting for a plan for years. We get

786
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 11: the hostages back almost immediately. Negotiations are going on right now,

787
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 11: will probably take a couple of days, and people are very.

788
00:41:46,800 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 3: Happy about it.

789
00:41:53,120 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 11: I well, if they put judges like that on, I

790
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 11: wasn't observed well by the people that pick judges. I

791
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 11: can tell you things like that are are.

792
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 5: Just too bad.

793
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 11: I appointed the judge and he goes like that, So

794
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 11: I wasn't served well. Obviously I don't know the judge,

795
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 11: but if he made that kind of a decision, Portland

796
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 11: is burning to the ground. You have agitators, insurrectionists. All

797
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 11: you have to do is look at that, look at

798
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 11: the television, Turn on your television, reap your newspapers. It's

799
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 11: burning to the ground. The governor, the mayor, the politicians

800
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 11: are petrified for their lives. You haven't judge like that.

801
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 4: Judge ought to be a game.

802
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 3: The of the worst.

803
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 5: So which is that he's wrong?

804
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 11: Number What he's wrong? Number two? I really believe he's

805
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 11: afraid for his life somehow.

806
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 5: When you can have forty or.

807
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 11: Fifty people killed over the last couple of months, hundreds

808
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 11: of people wounded. There's no place like that in the world.

809
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:21,280
Speaker 11: Hundreds of people wounded, fifteen fifty five people shot and killed.

810
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 11: And Kritsky gets up and says, what a wonderful place

811
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 11: it is. They need help.

812
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 5: Washington, DC is.

813
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 11: Now a safe place. You're not gonna get mugged or hit,

814
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 11: You're not gonna get raped, You're not gonna get anything.

815
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 2: Washington, d C.

816
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 11: Went from a hell hole to a safe place. I

817
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 11: love the way you nod. Is it true though? People

818
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 11: and a lot of the people right here were.

819
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 5: Wait, a lot of the people right here were mugged.

820
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 11: Reporters, And you know what, you're safe now nothing, We've

821
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 11: had no crime. It took twelve days to solve the problem.

822
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 3: Twelve days.

823
00:43:58,280 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 11: We're gonna do that in Chicago.

824
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 5: We're gonna do that in Portland.

825
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 11: Now Portland's different. That's a bunch of paid insurrections. But

826
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 11: you have a lot of paid people in Chicago. Do

827
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,919
Speaker 11: I believe the politicians are run the threat because there's

828
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,240
Speaker 11: no way somebody can.

829
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 2: Say that things are.

830
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 3: Wonderful in Chicago.

831
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,760
Speaker 11: Almost fifty five I think there was fifty five people

832
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 11: over a short period of time have been murdered in Chicago,

833
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 11: have been shot.

834
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 5: Two hundred and twenty two.

835
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 11: People over a short period have been hit, have been wounded, not.

836
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 5: Died, but fifty.

837
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 11: Five people died over a short period of time. You're

838
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 11: telling me there's no city in the world like that.

839
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 3: We're going to straighten it out.

840
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 11: And I think that pritzkerg he's not a stupid person.

841
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 11: I think that Pritzker's afread for his life.

842
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 5: Obamacare somepody.

843
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 11: We want to make it better? What have a layoff?

844
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 11: Do you pay it?

845
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 8: Well?

846
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 11: I call him Democrat layoff. The Democrat layoff they're causing

847
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 11: we're ready to go back.

848
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 5: You know, we have a.

849
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 11: Record heading economy, we have a record setting countries prices.

850
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 3: The way down.

851
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 11: We're doing better than the country's ever done. And the

852
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 11: Democrats they seeing that it's up to them. Anybody laid off,

853
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 11: that's because of the Democrats. Put that line, I don't

854
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 11: know what's that.

855
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 2: It states. That was his gaggle before he took Marine

856
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 2: one to to there. I think he's waiting for the

857
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 2: first lady to join him to Andrews Air Force Base.

858
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 2: The president now is I think it's close to arriving

859
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 2: in Norfolk the Norfolk Naval Station. There President, the first lady.

860
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 2: We'll watch that. I'm gonna go momentarily live to Steve Gruber.

861
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 2: Like I said, there's gonna be some talks. I think

862
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 2: around twelve twenty, Ambassador Monica Crowley, who's also in charge

863
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 2: of overseeing America two fifty, is in charge of I

864
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 2: think with Justin Caparell of doing Navy two fifty, which

865
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 2: is today, there's the first lady in the president getting

866
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 2: on Marine one and doing a fantastic, just an amazing job.

867
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 2: Do we have Gruber? Ambassador Monica Krowd's gonna say a

868
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 2: few words. I think around twelve twenty, twelve thirty gonna

869
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 2: be joined by two Navy seals where there was Steve Gruber.

870
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 2: Right now, Steve Gruber, what do you got for us.

871
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 9: Mister Bannon. I got Jason Redmand here with me. He

872
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 9: is a wounded warrior, retired Navy seal served in Afghanistan

873
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 9: of rock.

874
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 7: Jason, thank you for being here today, Steve honored. What

875
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 7: an amazing thing to be a part, What.

876
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 5: An amazing thing.

877
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 9: You've got the purple heart there on your lapel. Obviously

878
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 9: you've been in some tough spots you've got New York

879
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 9: Times bestsellers. But even so, what an amazing thing? Tell

880
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 9: us what comes to buy? And when you look around here.

881
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 7: Well, it's a lot of what I'm getting ready to

882
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 7: liver in the speech I'm going to deliver. And my

883
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 7: speech is really written for all these sailors. You know,

884
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 7: I grew up looking at the history. My grandfather served

885
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 7: in World War Two, my dad served in Vietnam, and

886
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 7: then moving forward, it was naturally for me to choose

887
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 7: his life of service. But really this is a celebration

888
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 7: of the amazing history of the Navy from the beginning

889
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 7: of our inception.

890
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 5: In the Revolutionary War, we beat the greatest naval might

891
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 5: in the world, you know.

892
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 7: The British Fleet at that time, and we've carried that

893
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 7: forward over to you know, for two hundred and fifty years. Well,

894
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 7: now the challenge is how do we maintain that supremacy.

895
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 7: How do we encourage these young sailors to understand you

896
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 7: are laying the foundation for the next two hundred and

897
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 7: fifty years.

898
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 9: And absolutely inspirations.

899
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 11: I didn't talk to this man.

900
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 9: Obviously you paid a price. Clearly you paid a price.

901
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 9: You have no regrets from what I can tell here.

902
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 5: No, I am so thankful for the service I had.

903
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 5: I talk about this.

904
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 7: I literally served with some of the legends of the

905
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 7: nine to eleven generation.

906
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 5: My story is part of the two hundred and fifty

907
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 5: year history.

908
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 7: The things I was able to do, hitting targets in

909
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 7: Iraq and Afghanistan, sacrificing brothers in this war, that's all

910
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 7: part of the fabric that makes the Navy great.

911
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 5: And that's what we're celebrating here.

912
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 7: Not only that, to showcase to the world we have

913
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 7: one of the greatest military force in the world. There's

914
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 7: a little bit of a narrative, Oh there's a military

915
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 7: getting weak.

916
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,959
Speaker 5: Answers No. And then with this new focus on hey,

917
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 5: we are the Department of War.

918
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 7: We need to be lethal. Our sailors are marines. They

919
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 7: need to understand that. And that is the focus. And

920
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 7: I think what President Trump wants to showcase.

921
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,439
Speaker 9: Let me ask you something about that, because I saw

922
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 9: Pete Hegsas show up at an event here over the

923
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,879
Speaker 9: last couple of days and they just flocked to him.

924
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 9: Do the military personnel, if you listen left wing media

925
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 9: think that he was a disliked individual.

926
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 2: I'm not feeling that from you.

927
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 7: Well, I have an inside track. I'm friends with Pete.

928
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 7: I worked with them with the Concern Veterans for America tour.

929
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,640
