1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm Mary Good trapped behind enemy lines some day number

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: thirty two, day thirty two Joe fighting abandoned Americans behind

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: enemy lines. Thousands of Green card holders according to this

4
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: testimony of Blinking yesterday thirty two days. We still don't

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: have an exact number. Daryl Issa thinks it's around five hundred.

6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: If you had Green card holders even blinkin acknowledges there

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: in the thousands. Afghan allies now more reports of brutality, beheadings,

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: beatings of women, young girls, ripped away from their parents

9
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: and forced to marry Taliban fighters, all going on great

10
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: called Joe. I. Meanwhile, you could have gotten everybody out

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: safely in March and April and May, in June and July.

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: You know, while you were bragging about the well trained

13
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: Afghan army, Afghan military, they were collapsing all over the

14
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: country before the world to see, and you could have

15
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: safely extracted all you had to do a couple of

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: drone strikes push them back from day one. That would

17
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: have allowed you the time while you had control of

18
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: Kabbo to get everybody out safely, and our military equipment

19
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: and our Afghan allies and our Green card holders and

20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: American citizens could have been done easily, successfully, expeditiously, and

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: no problems at all. This is a self induced, preventable,

22
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: easily preventable problem. Let me deal with what's going on

23
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: here with this Bob Woodward Robert cost A book called Peril. Now.

24
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: I want to start up front that I'm a I

25
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: believe in the presumption of innocence. If somebody's innocent until

26
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: proven guilty, always want to give people the benefit of

27
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: the doubt. That's our system. It has served me well

28
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: in my career, So I start with that today. But

29
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: there is there are things here that are so egregious

30
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: and so dangerous to this country because basically, if let

31
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: me let me sum it up this way, if what

32
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: Woodward and Costa have written here is true, and we'll

33
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: give you the details, that would mean that the chairman

34
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: of the Joint chiefs Is are traded to the country.

35
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: If it's not true, it means that Woodward and Costa

36
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: are liars their tremendous level and magnitude, and probably Millie

37
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: would rightfully own the Washington Post at the end of

38
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: this process, and maybe even a big part of Amazon,

39
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: if not all of it, considering it's Jeff Bezos's newspaper

40
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: that the allegations are of a total undermining of our

41
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: constitutional order in this country. Let me give you the details.

42
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: Two days after the January sixth attack on the US Capitol.

43
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: This is from Woodward and Cost his book, President Trump's

44
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: top military advisor, Joint Chiefs Chairman General Mark Millie, single

45
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:22,279
Speaker 1: handedly took secret action to limit President Trump from potentially

46
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: ordering a dangerous military strike or launching nuclear weapons. This

47
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: is what's in the book Peril and Woodward and costa

48
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: right that Millie, deeply shaken by what happened on January sixth,

49
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: was uncertain that Trump had gone into a serious mental

50
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: decline and the aftermath of the election, with Trump now

51
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: all but Mannix streaming at officials constructing his own alternate

52
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: reality about endless election conspiracies, Millie worried that Trump could

53
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: go rogue the author's right. You never know what the

54
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: president's trigger point is, Millie told his senior staff, according

55
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: to the book, in response, now this is the part

56
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: if this turns out to be true. Milly took the

57
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: extraordinary action, called a meeting in his Pentagon office on

58
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: January the eighth, to now review the process for military action,

59
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: including launching nuclear weapons. Speaking to senior military officials in

60
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: charge of the National Military Command Center, the Pentagon's war Room,

61
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: and Milly instructed them not to take orders from anyone

62
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: unless he was involved. That would assurp our entire constitutional order.

63
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: If that is true, that would mean that he is

64
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: declaring himself in charge of our nuclear weapons, not are

65
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: duly elected commander in chief, because he thinks it's the

66
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: right thing to do. No matter what you're told, you

67
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: do the procedure, you do the process. I'm a part

68
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: of that procedure, Milly, according to the reports, told the officers.

69
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: Then he went around the room, looked each officer in

70
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: the eye and asked them all verbally to confirm if

71
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: they understood, you go through me. That's basically what he's saying,

72
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: got it, Yes, Sir Milly considered it an oath. The

73
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: author's right. Now, where are we in a country when

74
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: we have again? If true, it gets even worse now.

75
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: They say. It's based on more than two hundred interviews

76
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: firsthand participants, witnesses, and talking about Trump's final days in office.

77
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: This is Woodward's third book on the Trump presidency, etc. Etc.

78
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: It includes exclusive reporting on the events leading up to

79
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: January sixth, Trump's reaction to the insurrection. By the way,

80
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: this would be an insurrection, maybe even an attempted coup

81
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: to take over the powers of the presidency because you

82
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: think that you're better able to handle them. That's what

83
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: That's how serious this now gets. And it reports about

84
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: all of that. And would word in constance say they

85
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: obtained documents, calendars, diaries, emails, meeting notes. The key one

86
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: that I see here are transcripts and other records. That

87
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: means as of today, all of these things would be

88
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: in existence. That means the transcripts would be in existence.

89
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: Because if that's the case, now we take it to

90
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: another level here and that is okay. And let me

91
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: say up front, even though we believe in the presumption

92
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: of innocence, due process, benefit of the doubt, innocent until

93
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: proven guilty, that's all true. But these charges are so

94
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: severe Joe Biden should immediately put General Millie on administrative

95
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: leave pending the results of an investigation. Like I said,

96
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm fine with the commission if it was going to

97
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: be fair. As it relates to January sixth, I said

98
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: from the beginning that can't happen in our country. Nor

99
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: can the riots that took place in the summer of

100
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty that Joe Biden and the Democrats ignored, and

101
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: that even Kamala Harris promoted bail funds to get some

102
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: of the rioters out of jail. And we know what

103
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: happened in the case of one of them charged with murder.

104
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: I think we need a commission on that too. Well,

105
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: we need an instant commission here. Not only would it

106
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: include that we need to get testimony from everybody in

107
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: that room on January the eighth, but then we need

108
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: to get into whatever these conversations were. That Millie had

109
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: again a blunt phone call from Nancy Pelosi, according to

110
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: the book and Woodward and Costa obtaining a transcript of

111
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: the call, which Millie tried to reassure Pelosi that the

112
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons were safe. Pelosi pushed back. What I'm saying

113
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: to you is that if they couldn't even stop him

114
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: from an assault on the Capitol, Donald Trump, for the record, said,

115
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: many of you will peacefully and patriotically now march to

116
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: the Capitol so your voices will be heard. Let's put

117
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: aside the minor details, right who even knows what else

118
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: he may do, and is there anybody in charge of

119
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: the White House who is doing anything but kissing his

120
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: fat boot? But over this, etc. Etc. According to Woodward

121
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: and Costa. Milly responded, Madam Speaker, I agree with you

122
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: on everything. Really, So now the Commission not only has

123
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: to investigate whether or not he's telling people, he'll make

124
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: a decision on a potential nuclear strike and assert the

125
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: constitutional order, which is the sole responsibility and duty of

126
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: the President of the United States, not the chairman of

127
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: the Joint Chiefs. That would not be his role in

128
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: any of this. By the way, if you want to

129
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: know what the authority and of the Joint Chiefs chain

130
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: of command, well, the commander in chief. If you look

131
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: at Article two, section two of our Constitution, that the

132
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: President shall be the commander in chief of the Army,

133
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: Navy of the US, and the militia of several states

134
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: when called into the actual service of the United States.

135
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: Now there are different explanations of all of this. The

136
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: textual textual designation of the president he's the commander in chief. Well,

137
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: that's that's to ensure that that that officer and no

138
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: other would be ultimately responsible for performing that role, whatever

139
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: it entails to that end. They continue that to suggest this,

140
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: at least with respect to certain functions, Congress may not,

141
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: by statute or otherwise delegate the ultimate command of the

142
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: Army and Navy anyone other than the President. Now it's

143
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: about Nancy Pelosi. What was she asking the Chairman of

144
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: the Joint Chiefs to do? So that commission needs to

145
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: investigate her too. And given the notion that Congress, you know,

146
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: doesn't delegate the ultimate command, this is a constitutional order

147
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: that we're talking about. Then it gets even worse. Now

148
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: we've got reports in this book that say that Millie,

149
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: now also it overstepped his authority, take an extraordinary power

150
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: upon himself, he thinks, because he's doing it with all

151
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: the best of intentions. And it goes on to describe

152
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: an incident where they write in the book where in

153
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: fact General Millie called, and this is where it gets

154
00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: very interesting, his counterpart and China, and assured the counterpart

155
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: in China that if in fact that there was going

156
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: to be an attack, we've known each other for five years,

157
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: and if there's going to be an attack, I will

158
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: give you a heads up. Well, that would make you

159
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: a trader because now you're looking at a hostile regime,

160
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: an enemy country. He may not even have all the details,

161
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: and he wants to take on the role of the

162
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: commander in chief and assert the power of the President

163
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: of the United States and then give a heads up

164
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: to America's enemies in the process. Now, either Millie would

165
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: be the trader if that's true. If that's true, or

166
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: Woodward and Costa are liars. It's a you know, he

167
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: said versus they say. And there's another aspect to this,

168
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: because we need a commission and an investigation in immediately.

169
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: We need to know General Millie's role, We need to

170
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: know Pelosi's role. We need to know if they were

171
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: undermining the President of the United States and our constitution

172
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: and constitutional order. We need to know about direct contact

173
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: with the enemy. We need to know if there are

174
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: transcripts of that contact. We need to know. Another question

175
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: is about Okay, they have all these unnamed sources and

176
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: all these transcripts and all this information that they say

177
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: backs up what they say. Now we need to know.

178
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: And Mark Levin made a good point, the great one

179
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: last night on Hannity, and that is you mean you

180
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: had this information of an attempted coup and undermining of

181
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: presidential authority, taking away the right of the president is

182
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: too if it need be protect the country and his

183
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: role as commander in chief and give a heads up

184
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: to our one of our staunchous enemies, and make assurances

185
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: on behalf of the United States. So we need so

186
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: in that sense, I think Million needs to be put

187
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: on immediate administrative leave, pending the results of an investigation

188
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: with full due process and full presumption of innocence. Nancy

189
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: Pelosi needs to be investigated too, if she's part of

190
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: this effort. And then we need to ask the Washington Post,

191
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: how is it your reporters sat on a story this

192
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: important so they would put it in a book to

193
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: sell a book, because this would be in the utmost

194
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: interest of the American people to have this information in

195
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: a timely fashion. As you can see where all of

196
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: this is going, all right, A lot to get to today,

197
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine for one, Shawn, if you want

198
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. So among the

199
00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: charges being made that somehow Million pelo See colluding and

200
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: in an effort to prevent Donald Trump from having access

201
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: to the nuclear codes and getting the assurance of every

202
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: member the Joint Chiefs. I assume that were in this

203
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: January eighth meeting, you know. Apparently a pair of secret

204
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: phone calls, according to Woodward and Costa, with the chairman

205
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: of the Joint Chiefs, General Millie, assuring his Chinese counterpart

206
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: that the US would not strike them. But I guess

207
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: that's you know, two days later he's getting assurances that

208
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: nothing happens unless it goes through me and anyway. The

209
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: first call October thirtieth, you know, was prompted by Millie's

210
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: review of intelligence suggesting the Chinese believe the US was

211
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: preparing to attack. That belief, the author's right, was based

212
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: on military exercises over the South China Sea and some

213
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: of Trump's rhetoric towards China. General Lee, I want to

214
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: assure you the American government is stable. Everything's okay. We

215
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations

216
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: against you. Millie went so far as to pledge you

217
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: would alert his counterpart in the event of a US attack,

218
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: stressing the report they established through a back channel. He

219
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: didn't tell any of this to Donald Trump, and the

220
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: second call January sixth, his counterpart Lee wasn't assuaged, even

221
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: as Millie promised him were one hundred percent steady. Everything's fine.

222
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: Democracy can be sloppy sometimes, apparently the Chinese remain rattle.

223
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: And between that and talking to his staff and a

224
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: phone call with Nancy Pelosi, he agreed with her the

225
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: evaluation Trump is unstable and that they were going to

226
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: take over the nuclear codes. Now, Mark Rubio, Alexander Vinman,

227
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: the star of the Second Impeachment, and others say Millie

228
00:15:51,760 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: must resigned. Now we'll get into that next. Get your

229
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: dose of independence and liberty every weekday right here on

230
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: the John Hannity Show twenty five to the top of

231
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: the hour, Joe Biden, speaking briefly to the press today,

232
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: gets shouted one question, do you have confidence in general Millie?

233
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: Here's what he said now, that comment, which didn't touch

234
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: on the veracity of the allegations. If he's saying that,

235
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: he's then as saying that he's that if true, and

236
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's true. I don't have any

237
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: weight today of saying whether or not. Woodward and cost

238
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: to have this story right. But based on what has

239
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: been put out there and what they used as evidence,

240
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: the people that were in that room that were asked

241
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: to affirm this this issue that he's he's got to

242
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: be in the loop on any any use of nuclear weapons.

243
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: His conversations with Pelosi. I would imagine these transcripts that

244
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: they say they have, that means those transcripts are available.

245
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: These transcripts now have to be brought before the American people.

246
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: We need to know whether or not the Chairman of

247
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: the Joint Chiefs was involved in what basically is undermining

248
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: all constitutional order, direct contact with our enemy, whether or

249
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: not he offered to afford a hostile regime critical top

250
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: secret information on potential military efforts of the United States

251
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: of America, because that would be a real insurrection and

252
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: co attempt. We need to know Pelosi's role, We need

253
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: to know Millie's role, obviously, the role of anybody that

254
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: was in the room that each individually were asked if

255
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: they understand, and we need to look at the transcripts

256
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: with his Chinese counterpart. Now, let's give the presumption of

257
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: innocence due process to General Millie. And but with that said,

258
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: these charges are that serious. He needs to be put

259
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: on immediate administrative leave pending the results of this investigation,

260
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: which should begin immediately, and while we're at it, we

261
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: might as well have a commission put together to look

262
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: into the rioting of twenty twenty that resulted in the

263
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: deaths of dozens nearly three thousand cops injured that no

264
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: Democrat wants to talk about. I said, what happened on

265
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: January or six can't happen. Nor can the rioting that

266
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: took place in the summer of twenty twenty happen. But

267
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: you have a partisan commission put together. You take Jim Jordan,

268
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: Jim Manks off the commission and you, you know, but

269
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: you put in Liz Cheney, what's the other guy, Adam

270
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: Kinziger or whoever it is instead, Okay, put in the

271
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 1: biggest Trump paters. You can find a foregone conclusion. That's

272
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: not a commission. We need a real commission here to

273
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of all this. By the way,

274
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, so Biden is standing by in spite of

275
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: these allegations. Are they do they think that Woodward and

276
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: Costa of the Washington Post or lying we need to

277
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of that too. Did million Nancy

278
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: Pelosi collude to prevent Donald Trump to assert his constitutional

279
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: powers as commander in chief? These aren't These are not?

280
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: Is it not? Small allegations? Here? What if you listen

281
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: to MSDNC Milli is here, hero heroic and patriotic. Okay,

282
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: there's no constitution that exists in their world. Now. General

283
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: Millie spokesperson is defending his calls to the Chinese military

284
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: spokesperson for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs defending the

285
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: allegations of secret calls with his Chinese counterparts, saying the

286
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: conversations are vital to reducing tensions, avoiding unintended consequences of conflict.

287
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: That's not the issue. Did he promise to tip off

288
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: the most hostile regime of the Communist Chinese if America

289
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: was going to be involved in a military maneuver against them,

290
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: which might be warranted Because he's not the elected commander

291
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: in chief. That's why this matters. A Chairman of the

292
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: Joint chief regularly communicates with the chiefs of defense around

293
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: the world, including China and Russia. They made such a

294
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: big deal about you know, remember the whole issue about

295
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: is soon to be counterpart General Michael Flynn talking to

296
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: his soon to be counterparts. Something by the way, that

297
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: happened in the in the Obama administration and yet top

298
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: people admitting it, and the fact that he regularly talks

299
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: to people has nothing to do with the question at

300
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: hand here, because what we're really talking about at the

301
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: end of the day, if this ends up being true,

302
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: as we're talking about General Millie being accused of being

303
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: a traitor to this country. Now Ram Paul has called

304
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: for the Millie to be a court martialed removed if

305
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: he went around Trump. Okay, if we all are saying,

306
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: if Senator Marco Rubio urging President Joe Biden of fire

307
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: General Millie dismiss him immediately charging that the undermined former

308
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces by

309
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: planning to commit treason, I write with grave concern regarding

310
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: the recent reporting the General Mark Milly, Chairman of the

311
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs of Staff, work to actively undermine the sitting

312
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces and

313
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: contemplated a treasonous leak of classified information to the Chinese

314
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: Communist Party in advance of a potential armed conflict with

315
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: the People's Republic of China. These actions by General Milly

316
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: demonstrate a clear lack of sound judgment, and I urge

317
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: you to dismiss him immediately based on this book. Now,

318
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: the question is Costa and Woodward work for the Washington Post.

319
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: Why would they be allowed to hold this information withhold

320
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: this information from the American public. You and I have

321
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: known each other five years, Milly says to his Chinese counterpart.

322
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to call you ahead of time. It's not

323
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: going to be a surprise if we're going to attack.

324
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: Rubio continues that Milly interfered with America's civilian controlled military,

325
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: which could lead possibly lead to war. I do not

326
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: need to tell you of the dangers posed by senior

327
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: military officers leaking classified information on US military operations, but

328
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: I will underscore that such subversion undermines the president's ability

329
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: to negotiate and leverage one of this nation's instruments of

330
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: national power in his interactions with foreign nations. Even more egregiously,

331
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: reports indicate General Milly interfered with the procedures by which

332
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: the civilian commander in chief can order a nuclear strike,

333
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: purportedly instructing officers not to take orders without his involvement

334
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: and force them to take an oath to that effect.

335
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: A senior military officer interfering with a civilian controlled process

336
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: is simply unacceptable at best, and at worst would cause

337
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: ambiguity which could lead to war. General Millie is attempted

338
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: to rationalize his reckless behavior by arguing arguing what he

339
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: perceived as the military's judgment was more stable than its

340
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: civilian commander. It's a dangerous precedent that could be asserted

341
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: at any point in the future by General Millie or others.

342
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: It threatens to tear apart our nation's longstanding principle of

343
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: civilian control of the military. Rubio's call for Millie's immediate

344
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: resignations echoed interestingly by former US Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander

345
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 1: Vinman that the media loved when they were trying to

346
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: impeach Donald Trump, who charges that Millie usurped civilian authority.

347
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: If this is true, General Millie must resign. He usurped

348
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: civilian authority, broke chain of command, violated the sacro, saying

349
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: principle of civilian control of the military an extremely dangerous precedent.

350
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: You cannot walk away from that. I agree with that.

351
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: Millie telling military officials not to take orders can't have

352
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: that now. The answer right away is because of the

353
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: severity of these allegations and our deep belief in a

354
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: country of due process, presumption of innocence, innocence until be

355
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: improven guilty, which I believe strongly and that applies to everybody,

356
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs deserves a fair hearing.

357
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: But the severity of these allegations warrant he'd be put

358
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: on a media administrative leaf pending the results of this expedited.

359
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: I would say, form a commission investigation. And it can't be,

360
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, one of these one sided Nancy Pelosi investigations.

361
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: You know, no Jim Jordan's, no Jim Banks of the world,

362
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: only the Liz Cheneys of the world. So this is

363
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: now and apparently Millie's been leaking all over the place.

364
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: It really comes down to a he said versus they say.

365
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 1: And they claim they have the ability to back up

366
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: what they are saying, meaning they're claiming Costa and Woodward

367
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: that they have all of this backed up for their book.

368
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: Why they were holding this important information for the American

369
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: people to sell a book. That's an issue that I

370
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: have a big problem with. They claim that they have documents, calendars, diaries, emails,

371
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: meeting notes, transcripts, and other records. We the people now

372
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: need to have acts to all of the above, all

373
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: of it sooner than later. And I understand that they

374
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: communicate with countries across the world, including China, Russia. That

375
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: doesn't answer the fundamental question. You can defend your call

376
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,479
Speaker 1: to the Chinese military. That's not the issue. It's what

377
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: was said in the call that is the issue. Biden

378
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: can stand by him all he wants, but that doesn't

379
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: answer the question either. That doesn't resolve whether or not

380
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: he offered to betray the United States and the commander

381
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: in chief and tried to assurp his role as commander

382
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: in chief. These are serious, serious, real charges. The DoD

383
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: Reorganization Act of nineteen eighty six identify as the Chairman

384
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: of the Joint Chiefs as the senior ranking member of

385
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: the armed forces. As such, the Chairman of the Joint

386
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: Chiefs is the principal military advisor the President. When he

387
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: presents his advice, he presents the range of advice and

388
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: opinions he's received, along with individual comments from mother Joint

389
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs of staff members. To chain of command to these

390
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: combatant combatant commands runs from the President to the Secretary

391
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: of State, directly to the commander of the combatant command.

392
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: Nowhere in the chain of command does any member of Congress,

393
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: Speaker Pelosi, or the chairman of the Joint ste Chief's

394
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: staff lie. Who's telling the truth here, because there's no

395
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: middle ground here. Either he did it or he didn't.

396
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: When my kids used to lie, used to make him

397
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: sit down in front of me and stare at each

398
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: other and say, Okay, you don't get to leave until

399
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: one of you tells me the truth, because it's either

400
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: one or the other the conversation. Do we have recorded

401
00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: conversations of Millie and Pelosi, those transcripts available Pelosi involving

402
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: We need to investigate her. We need to investigate Milly.

403
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: We need to investigate everything involved in this. Because you

404
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: have Nancy Pelosi asking the military to limit Donald Trump's

405
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: role as commander in chief and takeaway as nuclear authority.

406
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: That's not how that system works. In case you want

407
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: to understand it a little better, because the president has

408
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: the sole launch authority period end of sentence, Donald Trump

409
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: was the only person in the government that could order

410
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: a nuclear strike. The president has that authority in the past,

411
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: putting the power to ends civilization in the hands of

412
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: a single person has been seen as okay. Well, people

413
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: have different thoughts on a post Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Ri Truman, etc. Etc.

414
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: The start of the Cold War launch authorit, he was

415
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: delegated to some field commanders, eventually seen as too risky.

416
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: Under the setup we have, the president travels with the

417
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: nuclear football. I remember they made such a big deal

418
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: about that when Trump went back to Palm Beach and

419
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was sworn into office. At that second, one

420
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: football stayed in place and the other one was rendered useless.

421
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: By the way, A top general in Afghanistan is claiming

422
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: that Biden says the Biden claim that he agreed to

423
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: the Rush withdrawal is false. Taliban has now executed an

424
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: Afghan war hero in front of his family. The Taliban

425
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: has demand increase and ransom payments. We helped the US

426
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: until the evacuation of their last person. Unfortunately, the US,

427
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: instead of thanking US as frozen our assets, we still

428
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: have hundreds of Americans abandoned trap behind enemy lines as hostages.

429
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: Lincoln even admitted several thousand US Green card holders abandoned

430
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: by Joe Biden. Now, the Taliban's threatening to the head

431
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: a journalist. I'm looking at a picture in front of me. Yeah,

432
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: a man's head, a body laid out, a man's head

433
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: severed and being held up by a celebrating Taliban. We

434
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: told you it would be that bad, and it's gonna

435
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: get worse.
