1
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: generation warfare.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 2: A commentator, international social media sensation and form a Navy

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 2: intelligence veteran.

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 3: This is Human Events with your host Jack Posovic.

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 4: Christ Is King.

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 5: It's a dangerous moment for the United States of America

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 5: when the President and his loyalists use every lever of

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,319
Speaker 5: power to silence United States senators for speaking up.

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: The White House has made it very clear the orders

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: that come from the Commander in Chief and the Secretary.

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 3: Of War have been upheld as lawful.

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 6: Suggesting otherwise creates confusion and weakens our national security.

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 5: For these senators and members of Congress to come forward

15
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 5: and use their status as veterans to claim in some

16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 5: way that they are allowed to stand in the chain

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 5: of command.

18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: Is treasonous.

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 6: President Trump ups the rhetoric against Somali immigrant in Minnesota.

20
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 6: This comes after prosecutors uncovered fraud that largely benefited parts

21
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 6: of the state's community. They say fifty nine people have

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 6: been convicted in those schemes and more than one billion

23
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 6: dollars has been stolen from taxpayers.

24
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 7: Somlias ripped off that state for billions of dollars. Billions

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 7: every year and they contribute nothing.

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 3: I don't want them in our country.

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 8: I'll be honest with you.

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 7: Okay, So we would say, oh, that's not politically correct.

29
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 7: I don't care the country stakes, and we don't want

30
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 7: them in our country. I could say that about other

31
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 7: countries too.

32
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: The Trump administration now pausing all immigration applications from nineteen

33
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 2: countries it determined to be high risk. This comes in

34
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: the wake of the Washington, DC shooting of two National

35
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 2: Guards members allegedly by an Afghan national, and.

36
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 9: According to reports, the administration may not be done with

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 9: this list, possibly growing to thirty countries. President Trump and

38
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 9: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseeth, both defending the administration's boat strike campaign,

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 9: will also dissing themselves from the most explosive detail, the

40
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 9: second strike that killed the survivors of that September second

41
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 9: attack in the Caribbean. At a cabinet meeting Tuesday, both

42
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 9: men insisted they didn't know a follow up strike had

43
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 9: even happened.

44
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 7: Somebody asked me a question about the second strike. I

45
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 7: didn't know about the second strike. I didn't know anything

46
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 7: about people. I wasn't involved, and I knew they took

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 7: out a boat but I would say this, they had

48
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 7: a strike.

49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 3: I watched that first strike life.

50
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 9: As you can imagine, the Department of War, we got

51
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 9: a lot of things to do, so I didn't.

52
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 3: Stick around for the hour and two hours whatever.

53
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 9: Where all the sensitive side exploitation digitally occurs.

54
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: All right, just as Jack Pasobic, we are live Human

55
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: Events daily.

56
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome a board.

57
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: We are here live at the Department of War, the

58
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: Pentagon itself, and were very excited to be sitting down

59
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: with Commander Tim Parlatour. He is also Senior Advisor to

60
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: Secretary of War Pete Hegsath. Commander, thanks us for joining us.

61
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: Thank you tell us we've been here. We've been conducting

62
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: interviews throughout the week. We've been wed a. We got

63
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: to meet with the Secretary earlier today. Talk to us

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: about this new you know, this sort of new transparency,

65
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: this new welcoming that that the Department is offering for

66
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: the new media corps.

67
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we're very excited to have you know,

68
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: the new media in here. You know, we went through

69
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: quite a process with the Legacy Media and the Pentagon

70
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: Press Association to try to implement reasonable regulations because the

71
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: building access is a privilege, not a right, and I

72
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: think that they had considered it to be a right.

73
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: And so when we went through all that and ultimately,

74
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: whether it was a negotiating tactic or something else, they

75
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: all decided to leave or as kinds of likes to

76
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: call self deport And I think that they really thought

77
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: that that was going to be something that would cause

78
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: us to say, oh, okay, well we'll pull back the policy

79
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 3: because we really do want you in this building. But

80
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: the reality is we didn't need that, And so, you know,

81
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: to have new media come in who are really covering

82
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 3: this department, not in just the way that we want to,

83
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: but you guys have been really asking good, hard, fair

84
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 3: questions and putting out the truth of what the department

85
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 3: is actually doing. So we're very excited about that.

86
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: And in that relationship, know, since since I've been in

87
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: the building on Monday, and I keep waiting for it,

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, nobody's handed me in my script of prepared questions.

89
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: No one's handed me this is what we want you

90
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: to ask Pete about it. It just doesn't happen right exactly.

91
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: And that's a lot of that is a misunderstanding of

92
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: what the old policy was and you know, the initial

93
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: policy draft policy that went out, it was admittedly imprecise,

94
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: and that's why I came in to edit it to

95
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 3: make it much more clear. But a lot of the

96
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: things that they were saying, we're in there just didn't exist.

97
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 3: You know, the idea of having the pre clear stories

98
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: through the department that used to be the policy in

99
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: this building. Really in the nineteen forties, back when this

100
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: building was first built, press passes were handled through the

101
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: Office of Censorship, and so everybody signed this thing that

102
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 3: they had to submit all of their writings to the

103
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: Department of War Office of Censorship for pre publication review.

104
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 3: You all had to maintain physical standards too, because you

105
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 3: had to go out in the field with the troops.

106
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 3: Hey hey, I'm there, I'm there, let's go. And but

107
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: that hasn't been the rule since the fifties. And so

108
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 3: when we put out this new policy, we put in

109
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: there very explicitly that the department employees and the military

110
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 3: members are not allowed to release non public information without

111
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 3: it being pre cleared through the appropriate office. The media

112
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: misinterpreted that as we were saying that they weren't allowed

113
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 3: to do it, and the reality is that was not

114
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 3: even a policy. Okay, that's Congress. Congress passed laws that

115
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: says government employees are not allowed to disclose non public

116
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: confidential information, not just classified.

117
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: When I was in a very similar uniform to yours,

118
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: that was absolutely something that we had to get and

119
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: we took training on it every year and it was

120
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: very well understood.

121
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 3: And so we had to be clear that this is

122
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 3: the rules regarding department personnel, so the media would understand

123
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 3: it is a crime for them to do that. And

124
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 3: so if you're asking a department employee to commit a crime,

125
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: you're soliciting a crime. Building access is a privilege, not

126
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: a right, and if you're soliciting crimes, you don't get

127
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: the privilege of being in the building. And that's really

128
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 3: at its core what that instruction was about. And ultimately,

129
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: while they did this whole performative walk back, you know what.

130
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: They did render We are coming up on our first break.

131
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: We'll be right back here from the Pentagon stand.

132
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 4: In our way, and our golden age has just begun.

133
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: This is human Events with Jack Posovic. Now it's time

134
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: for everyone to understand what America first truly means. Welcome

135
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: to the second American Revolution. All right, Jack Prosopic, we

136
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: are back live from the Department of War, from within

137
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: the bowels of the Five sided Puzzle Palace, the Pentagon itself,

138
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: and folks, the Pentagon knows.

139
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: About a good cup of coffee.

140
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: And anyone that knows me and the work that human

141
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: events does day in and day out, knows the conservative

142
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: movement movement never stops in. The fuel that keeps me going,

143
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: keeps the show going, and the work going, is Blackout coffee.

144
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 3: And trust me, the commander here knows about a good

145
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: cup of coffee.

146
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: Am all right, Well, maybe not from the Navy, but

147
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: the bug juice, No, but that's what it was though.

148
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 3: When I was in the Navy, you get the bug

149
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: juice on ship.

150
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: That's why now that I'm out, I say, you know

151
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: what I want, A really nice cup of coffee.

152
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: That's why I go for Blackout coffee.

153
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: And so for years, Blackout coffee has been my coffee,

154
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: a choice, and I know so many of you guys

155
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: want it to especially at Christmas time, because Blackout isn't

156
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: just a coffee, It's America and a cup. It's founded

157
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: on Christian values, rooted in family, and built on the

158
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: belief that hard working Americans deserve better than corporate swell

159
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,040

177
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: Uh, actually, guys, do we have that clip Do we

178
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: have that? Do we have that clip of Senator Kelly?

179
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: And I was, we're pulling up, we're pulling up a

180
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: clip here for for Senator Kelly, because he had this

181
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: this video over, you know, the last couple of weeks

182
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: where and as you were just saying, you know about

183
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: the you know, the regulations of federal workers, it sounded

184
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: to me that he was soliciting information or leaks or

185
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: insubordination into my years. It sounded like insubordination from members

186
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: of military and undermining the chain of command. Now, as

187
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: a retired Navy captain collecting a pension, he is still

188
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: under the jurisdiction the Uniform Code of Military Justice. I

189
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: asked the Press Secretary Wilson yesterday, will there be an investigation?

190
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 3: We had knew we knew that there was.

191
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: She confirmed that that had been worded to Secretary Falan

192
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: over at the Navy. And by the way, I was

193
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: also we were going to have him on today and

194
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: we were also informed that he got pulled into the

195
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: White House. I don't know if it's about that, but

196
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: that's what he was supposed to be here today, and

197
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: that the timeline on that investigation is one week from

198
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: today around December tenth. Walk us through what types of

199
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: things we could see coming out of that investigation.

200
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: Sure, it's that investigation or review is being done by

201
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 3: the Navy. I'm not a part of it, but you know,

202
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 3: they're gonna look at a bunch of things. They're going

203
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: to look at the facts of the case. This is

204
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 3: not something where you really need an investigation because it's

205
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 3: all it all happened publicly, and so they need to

206
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 3: do a good review of the.

207
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 4: Law and.

208
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: See the range of options they have here. Okay, it's

209
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 3: not just about a court martial. You know, they could

210
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 3: bring administrative penalties here. They could, for example, they could

211
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: reduce his pension. They could potentially, you know, say he's

212
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: being reduced to the rank of commander in his retirement

213
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: and then you know, just take his pension down. But ultimately,

214
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: what they're going to do is they're going to make

215
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: a decision not based on politics, but based on the

216
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 3: facts and the law as to what statutes that video violates,

217
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: what are the impediments to a potential court martial, and

218
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: what makes the most sense in this case. You know,

219
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 3: one of the difficulties of court martialing a sitting senator.

220
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: The constitution prohibits somebody from serving offices in two branches

221
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 3: at the same time. And so if a senator or congressman,

222
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 3: you know, they are members of Congress that continue in

223
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 3: the reserves, but if any of them get pulled to

224
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: active duty, then they're an officer in the executive branch,

225
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: and so then they can't serve both offices at the

226
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: same time, and it acts as a functional forced resignation

227
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 3: from Congress or the Senate, which that could potentially bring

228
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 3: all sorts of other separation of powers issues. So yeah,

229
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 3: I think that ultimately the Navy is going to make

230
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: a well reasoned decision and recommendation. It could include administrative

231
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 3: penalties as opposed to know the full freight of a

232
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 3: court martial. But then at the same time, you got

233
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 3: to remember the FBI has been looking into this, so

234
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: there's also the DOJ side, you know, which applies to

235
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: all six of them. And so yeah, that's that would

236
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 3: be as a civilian correct, correct, And that's obviously outside

237
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 3: of this department's control.

238
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: Incredible, So this is something and I appreciate though that

239
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: the department is taking it absolutely seriously, because it certainly

240
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: is something that undermines good order and conduct, and at

241
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: the end of the day, that's what it's all about,

242
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: and that's what the Secretary has always had that he

243
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: wants to restore. And we saw leaking even in the

244
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: previous Trump administration from uniformed individuals that led to an

245
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: impeachment process. We saw, you know, honest leaking of classified

246
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: information which you did not result in any administrative corrections

247
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: or punishments at all. And so I understand the necessity

248
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: for keeping it serious. Moving aside there, you know, and

249
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: talking about other investigations, I did also receive information from

250
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: Press Secretary Wilson yesterday regarding a phone call that was

251
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: made between Secretary Hegseth and Senator Roger Wicker. And this

252
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: is the head of the Senate Armedforce Armed Services Committee.

253
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: He had come out and talked about opening an investigation

254
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: into the Secretary regarding a series or a drone striker,

255
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: a series of drown strikes, depending on you know, the

256
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: parlance on that that took place down in Venezuela. When

257
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: it comes to the legality of these strikes, now, this

258
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: is something and I've said here on the program, just

259
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: with my background as an intelligence officer, what I know

260
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: about that strike just from open source reporting, seems to

261
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: be standard operating procedure. It doesn't seem to be a

262
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: differential for that. But for the audience, could you walk

263
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: us through what you're looking at there?

264
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: Sure? So, the the initial strike, you know, that's there's

265
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 3: Office of Legal Counsel opinions that say we're allowed to

266
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: do the initial strike. Where the controversy comes in is

267
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: this follow on second strike. And here you really need

268
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: to do a very fact intensive analysis of it, because

269
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 3: what the Washington Post did is, you know, after the

270
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 3: video came out and you know, the lack of an

271
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 3: unlawful order. You know, they they put out this fake

272
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: narrative based on anonymous sourcing to try to pin an

273
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 3: unlawful order on the secretary. But the reality is he

274
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 3: did not give any such order. You know, the the commander,

275
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 3: Admiral Bradley, he made the decision, a command decision based

276
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: on the information he had available to do a second strike. Now,

277
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 3: ultimately you have to decide is that second strike a

278
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 3: legitimate military target? And so here I'm going to draw

279
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 3: a very serious distinction between the people and the boat. Okay,

280
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: because you have initially you have a boat speeding along

281
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 3: full of cocaine and people, and that is a lawful target.

282
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 3: You can blow it out of the water. You can

283
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 3: kill everybody on board, no problem. After that initial strike,

284
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 3: you do a battle damage assessment and you make it

285
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: and you make a decision of what to do next.

286
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 3: So if the boat is still floating and there's still

287
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 3: cargo in it, it remains a lawful military target. The

288
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 3: goal was to put it to the bottom of the

289
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 3: ocean if because they could be recovered, correct, it could

290
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 3: be recovered. And this is a long history of this.

291
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 3: We did this.

292
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: We we've gone through that here on the program explaining

293
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: this is something the Navy has done for quite some

294
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: time in the Caribbean.

295
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: Didn't well, even before that, we did in World War Two.

296
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: We you know, a Battle of Midway. You know, we

297
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 3: got one of the Japanese carriers. It was totally out

298
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 3: of the fight, full of wounded Japanese sailors, but because

299
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 3: it could have been towed back, the USS Nautilus continued

300
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 3: to put torpedoes into it until it went to the

301
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: bottom of the ocean. The Japanese battleship your motto the

302
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 3: largest battleship in history. Same thing. It was stricken, it

303
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 3: was listing, and we continued to put dive bombers and

304
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: torpedo planes onto it until it went to the bottom

305
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 3: of the ocean with all of the wounded Japanese sailors

306
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 3: on board, because the goal was to sink the boat,

307
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 3: not the people. Now, if you have a boat that's

308
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 3: on fire full of cocaine, it's got a couple of

309
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 3: narco terrorists on board that are kind of weapons that

310
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: are wounded, that boat is still a target and he

311
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: can shoot that. Now, if the admiral sits there and says,

312
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: I see two terrorists, I see two wounded terrorists on

313
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 3: a floating in the middle of the ocean. I want

314
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: to kill those terrasts. That's potentially legally problematic. But if

315
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: he instead says, no, no, no, I see a boat full

316
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 3: of cocaine that I was ordered to put to the

317
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 3: bottom of the ocean. I'm going to put it to

318
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 3: the bottom of the ocean. And one of his intel people,

319
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 3: one of your types, grabs said, oh, sir, sir, there's

320
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 3: two wounded terrorists on board. Well, that's collateral damage. That's fine.

321
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 3: Even though the action is the same. You're still putting

322
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 3: these act same rocket into these act same place. If

323
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 3: your intent is to kill the people, that's potentially a crime.

324
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: If your intent is to sink the boat, that's perfectly legal.

325
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 3: And I think that's where people have really gotten confused

326
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 3: over this thing. The law of war says that gh you,

327
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 3: by the way, is separate from an objective strike, which

328
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 3: would be on say an HVT high target terrorist, where

329
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: that is and has been signed off by OLC. The

330
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 3: thing about shipwrecked people, Okay, in the laws of war,

331
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,959
Speaker 3: you're not allow at the target people that have been shipwrecked.

332
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 3: And what that means is what the Japanese and Germans

333
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 3: used to do to us of strafing American sailors in

334
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 3: the water, shooting sailors that are swimming, And that's a

335
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 3: very different thing. If he was shooting at terrice that

336
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 3: were swimming or clinging to a piece.

337
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: Of wood like Indianapolis Bingo, then that would have been

338
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: a problem.

339
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: But if he's shooting the boat, then that's not a problem.

340
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 3: And that's where all the people are messing up their

341
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 3: talking points and thinking that this is a war crime

342
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 3: when really this is perfectly permissible. And another point, we're

343
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 3: not throwing him under the bus because by Secretary heigsays saying, no,

344
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 3: I didn't give him that order. That's not putting him

345
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 3: in front of the bus. That's saying you can't put

346
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 3: him in jail for following a manifestly unlawful order. Instead,

347
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 3: you have to focus on did he make the appropriate

348
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 3: command decision based on the intelligence he had available to him.

349
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 3: He is allowing him to defend himself.

350
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: Commander, thank you so much for joining us here at

351
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: Human Events Daily. Credible interview, fascinating. Thank you so much

352
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: for joining us from the Department of War here at.

353
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 4: The Thank.

354
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 7: You talk about it.

355
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 5: Influencers.

356
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 7: These are influences and they are friends and mine. Jack

357
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 7: Jack's breakdown.

358
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: All right, Jack Pacobic, we are back live here Human

359
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: Events Daily. We're live at the Pentagon, the Department of War. Folks,

360
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: if you are a homeowner in America, you need to

361
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: listen to this. The FBI has been warning about a

362
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: type of real estate fraud that's on the rise, and

363
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: it's called title theft.

364
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 3: Your equity is the target. Here's how it works.

365
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: Criminals will forge your signature on a single document and

366
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: use a fake notary stamp and file it with the

367
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: county and just like that on record, they own your home.

368
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: Using your ownership. They can take out loans against your

369
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: equity or even sell your property and you won't know

370
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: about it until foreclosure or collection notices show up in

371
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: the mail. That's why I've partnered with Home Title Locke

Speaker 1: today this home Title Dock dot Com promo code post.

383
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: So all right, folks, So we've got this new report

384
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: that's out and we'll have our next guest here in

385
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: a minute. We've got this new report out, the Pentagon

386
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: IG report on the signal app and ap IS reporting

387
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: and CNN first reported earlier regarding the use of signal

388
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: messaging app to convey information about a military strike against

389
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: Huthi militants in Yemen. I remember this was this is

390
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: back earlier in the administration, to a different drone strike

391
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: than the one that we were just talking about. So

392
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: I do have some quotes that they've given us from

393
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: from Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell, and Sean will be joining

394
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: us in a moment's time. And so Sean has stated

395
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: a says that it's a total exoneration, proves what we

396
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: all knew. No classified information was shared. This matter is

397
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: resolved in the case as clot is this again, I'm

398
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: reading the statement. The signal narrative is old and worn out.

399
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: It's starting to resemble Joe Biden's mediate mental state. The

400
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: Department stands behind its previous statements that no classified information

401
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: was shared via signal.

402
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 3: I'll skip down a little bit to a.

403
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: Deeper point point here it says, the review confirms what

404
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: we said from the very beginning. The Secretary of War

405
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: did not share any classified information. This review shows that

406
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: the Secretary is vindicated. The IG found that no information

407
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: classified information was shared. What I found and said is

408
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: a bureaucracy desperate to weaponized process by leaking information because

409
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: they knew it would hurt Secretary heg Seth. And of

410
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: course is between Operation rough Rider and Operation Midnight Strike.

411
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: And so the question the report that's out from a

412
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: and putting it up against each other, said that it

413
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: was sensitive information potentially could have put US personnel on

414
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: the mission at risk. However did however, Hegseth has the

415
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: ability to classify declassify material as an original originating class

416
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: classification authority in OCA, and that he did not find

417
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: They did not find that he did so improperly, according

418
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: to people familiar with the report's findings. The review by

419
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: the IG has been delivered to the capital in the

420
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: skiff and a partially redacted version of the report is

421
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: expected to really be released publicly later this week. And

422
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: so this has been one of the things from early

423
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: on in the administration that has absolutely been a huge,

424
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: a huge, huge story, huge question. The signal chat, the

425
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: use of this chat. Was it classified information? Was it

426
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: not classified information? The signal the text chain of people

427
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: that were on the signal chat. Of course many people knew,

428
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: you know, who were in There was almost the entire

429
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: cabinet at the time, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, who

430
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: is now over at the UN as UN Ambassador, I believe,

431
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: and Vice President Jady vance D and I Gabbard were

432
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: all on this chat as well. And so regarding the

433
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: hoo they strikes this was the question was it classified

434
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: information or was it sensitive information? And of course the

435
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: issue being that Jeffrey Goldberg from the Atlantic had been

436
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: added to the chat. And one of the questions that

437
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: I still have, and I'm at the time, I remember

438
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: hitting up every single source that I had in the administration,

439
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: just about everyone that I could find from who had

440
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: any idea what was going on here? How was it

441
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: that Jeffrey Goldberg from the Atlantic was added to this

442
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: signal chat. People claimed it was by accident. People claimed

443
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,239
Speaker 1: that it was just an oversight that someone had him

444
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: in their phone incorrectly. I just don't buy that. I've

445
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: never bought that for a second that he was added accidentally.

446
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: To me, it seemed deliberate. I don't know who. I

447
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: was never able to get to the bottom of that,

448
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you right now that to me felt

449
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: like some kind of operation where they wanted information.

450
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 3: And let's be clear. Let's be clear, this wasn't just.

451
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: Some random random figure in Washington, DC, or you know,

452
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: somebody's You think about how any phone contacts you, having

453
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: your phone right a needle in a haystack, you're getting

454
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: someone with J and G initials, because sometimes if you

455
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: signal like I do, you know that you only sometimes

456
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: see the initials when you get the actual contact in.

457
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: So my question was, if that's all you see, how

458
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: was it that you get JG in there? Sean Parnell, Hey,

459
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: stepping in, Come on in, get in here, get in here.

469
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: you know, they decided to Hey, bring up the Signal report.

470
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Yeah totally.

471
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 4: I mean, so the Signal Report is out, and it

472
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 4: proves what we've known all along, that the Secretary shared

473
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 4: no classified information, and he's totally exonerated. And if you remember, Jack,

474
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 4: back to the original narrative when the signal story broke

475
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 4: the March, Yeah, the fake narrative was that the Secretary

476
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 4: shared classified information and put troops at risk. The IG

477
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 4: report says specifically that the Secretary shared no classified information.

478
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 4: So he's totally exonerated. What we said back then was

479
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 4: totally accurate. It was a fake news narrative then, and

480
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 4: it's an exposed, fake new narrative now. And it's done.

481
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 4: It's over with it. There's not eight months eight months.

482
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: And I even have the I even have the just

483
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: because we're going up to the break, I even have

484
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: the ap AS reporting here, which points out that the

485
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: Secretary himself does have the ability to declassify.

486
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 4: He's the Secretary is an original classifier. So yeah, so

487
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 4: he can point to a document and say that this

488
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 4: is unclassified.

489
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 3: Uh.

490
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 4: But but the point is, and you're gonna hear, you're

491
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 4: gonna hear fake news Outlet's say that the Secretary shared sensitive.

492
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 4: They're going to use the term sensitive because it's a

493
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 4: meaningless term. There's like sensitive is the ill defined. It's

494
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 4: not a classification. They're just using it to make the

495
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 4: story sound scary and say that, oh, he sensitive information

496
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 4: and he put troops lives in danger. Well, how can

497
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 4: that possibly be true when Operation rough Rider was a

498
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 4: resounding success. Nobody wounded, nobody killed during that operation. Uh So,

499
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 4: don't buy the fake news narratives.

500
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 3: Is supposed to be killing?

501
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, correct, way is Yeah?

502
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 3: Where's Jack?

503
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 4: Where is he? Jack?

504
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 3: I want to see you. Great job, Jack, Thank you.

505
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 3: What a job you do.

506
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 4: You know, we have an incredible thing.

507
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 3: We're always talking about.

508
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 7: The fake news and the band, but we have guys

509
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 7: and these are the guys shore forgetting PULLASISKI.

510
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: All right, Jack, we're back live from the Five Sided

511
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: Puzzle Palace here. That is the Pentagon. We're on with

512
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: Sean Parnell. He is the chief spokesman for the Pentagon.

513
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: And so Sean, we're talking about the Signal report and

514
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: so the AP is out. The media is out there,

515
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 1: the mainstream media, I should say, and they're saying that

516
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: that Secretary Hegseeth put US personnel put the mission at

517
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: risk using the Signal messaging app to convey what they

518
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: call sensitive information. However, also points out that it is declassified.

519
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: What would what would the Secretary say regard, and I

520
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: know you mentioned before, but just since we have longer time,

521
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: what would he say in response, or what would the

522
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: office say in response that did this put US personnel

523
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: at risk?

524
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 4: Of course it didn't. And the proof is in the

525
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 4: putting of the actual operation. The Operation rough Rider was

526
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 4: wildly successful. We achieved the desired end state. No US

527
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 4: personnel were wounded or killed. Operation rough Rider was wildly successful.

528
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 4: So obviously americans lives weren't put at unnecessary risk. The Secretary,

529
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 4: I mean, I've said it before and I'll say it again.

530
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 4: The Secretary when he's in these meetings and he's in

531
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 4: these operational planned in these operational planning sessions, he listens

532
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 4: to uniform military personnel. He asks great questions, and he

533
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 4: adheres to and believes in the commander in chief, in

534
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 4: President Trump, which by the way, is something that's different

535
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 4: from the president's first term. Here in this building, the

536
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 4: Secretary is a great, great advocate for the President, believes

537
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 4: that I'm here in this building, and ultimately he's very decisive.

538
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 4: So you're going to see a bunch of headlines that

539
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 4: have come out about this signal stuff. But the most

540
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 4: important thing for the American people to know, Jack is

541
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 4: the secret. The narrative back then was that the Secretary

542
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 4: disclosed classified information and therefore, because of that, broke the law.

543
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 4: That's not true. The report found that the Secretary did

544
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 4: not share classified information and did not break the law.

545
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 4: And in fact, one of the only things that the

546
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 4: IG recommended was more cyber awareness training throughout the ress.

547
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 3: So not again, ye, first of all, again, first.

548
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: Of all, not again that this is if you've been

549
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: in the military, this is a little bit. It's very

550
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: much an inside joke for the UD cyber awareness five

551
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,239
Speaker 1: point oh is it still five point Zero's probably ten

552
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: point zero now.

553
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 4: I don't know. But the point is is, obviously the

554
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 4: IG report was not damning if the recommendation was simply

555
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 4: more cyber awareness training.

556
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: No, I haven't seen the report yet. You know, this

557
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: is all kind of breaking as I've been on air.

558
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: Was there a section did the IG get into and

559
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: I understand if this is beyond the purview, Did the

560
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: IG get into the inclusion of a mainstream media reporter

561
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: in this signal chat Jeffrey Goldberg from.

562
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 4: The They did not, Yeah, they did, they did not.

563
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, obviously there's still questions around how something like

564
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 4: that could possibly happen, but but they did not. But ultimately,

565
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 4: for our purposes, the IG report totally exonerate Secretary Hexa.

566
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 3: He will not disclosed last fight.

567
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna say it, for someone who's done

568
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: so much adversarial journalism against the against President Trump and

569
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: against members of hit of his administration, this was the

570
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: guy who came up with suckers and.

571
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 3: Losers, that guy.

572
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: And so to say that it was a random inclusion

573
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: on a signal chat like this of that guy beyond

574
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, and I was I was going to say

575
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: prior to when he walked in, I was a actually

576
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: coming off when I was mak him a point that

577
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes on the signal you can only see

578
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: the first two initials of the name.

579
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 3: And so, okay, JG.

580
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: I've got lots of people in my phone that might

581
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: start with a J or a G, a friend or

582
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: a relative or whoever. What are the odds that the

583
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: person that comes in that has the J and the

584
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: G is the guy who made up the suckers and losers?

585
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: Hopes it just it that's the part where it did.

586
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: It don't pass a small test it's only.

587
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 4: He's one of the greatest hoaxters of President Trump's first

588
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 4: term while President Trump was running. Uh, you're right it.

589
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 4: I mean, how the hell he gets added to a

590
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 4: signal chat, I think is beyond me.

591
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 3: But he did.

592
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 4: And ultimately pushed yet another hoax with saying that the

593
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 4: secretary disclosed classified information of classified work plans that put

594
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 4: American troops at risk. He did not again fully exonerated.

595
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 3: Uh.

596
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 4: And and ultimately, I mean, that's what we said back then,

597
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 4: and that's what we're saying now. And guess why we

598
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 4: were right.

599
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: Now that being said, you know you mentioned communications. Is

600
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: is there something that the DoD is working on beyond

601
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: this to kind of this platform to be able to

602
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: work on with government devices, to be able to have

603
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: these high level communications. Because I remember taking a step

604
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: back and thinking about it and saying, when you have

605
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: members of the Cabinet, when you have them going all

606
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: over the world working for the president, working on his administration,

607
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: working on his priorities over the world or over the country,

608
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: different parts, I can see the need for having in

609
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: a way to communicate electronically to be able to cut

610
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: across all of the boundaries. There it's obviously a purpose

611
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: for this. It's such a great point. Is is there

612
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: a way then to be able to meet that? But also,

613
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: you know, protect the Jeffrey Goldbergs of the world from yea,

614
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: from getting information.

615
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,239
Speaker 4: We are we are, I can tell you we are

616
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 4: looking at that right now. But to your point, Jack,

617
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it is critically important for us to be

618
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 4: able to communicate at the speed of relevance on a

619
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 4: twenty first century battlefield, right.

620
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: And even even and I'll just say it because you know,

621
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm not in uniform or in the physical capacity that

622
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: and and I've been on the civinces and the secure

623
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: you know, video context and it's it's they're they're not quick.

624
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 4: They're not quick. And and this even in this building.

625
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 4: So I was I was an infantryman when when I

626
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 4: served in uniforms.

627
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 3: He's not going to technology. Yeah, but right, we just break,

628
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 3: we just break things breaks around.

629
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 4: But I come into this building and I realized that

630
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 4: that most of the offices for senior government officials in

631
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 4: this building are skiffs. So you can't have your phone

632
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 4: in your office. You can't you can't communicate with the

633
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 4: outside world. But for on an office phone, which it's

634
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 4: just it's just antiquated and inefficient. And the bottom line is,

635
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 4: if you're the Secretary of War and the President of

636
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 4: the United States is reaching out to talk to you,

637
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 4: you need a secure way to talk to him, whether

638
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 4: you're on the road in the office. I mean, you

639
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 4: can't talk when you're in the office, you're in a skipp.

640
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just and and I guess I'll put

641
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 3: it this way.

642
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: You know, Sean, I watched all these Hollywood movies, and

643
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 1: I see all these fancy gadgets that James Bond and

644
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: Jack Ryan and all these people have.

645
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 3: Surely the secretary and the president have a line like that, right.

646
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 4: They they Yes, they do have secure ways and secure

647
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 4: cell phones that they that they can talk on. But no,

648
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 4: not like not.

649
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 3: Like the movies.

650
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 4: It's not like the movies. It's not like the movies,

651
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 4: not at all.

652
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 3: No, So it's and so it's not and so that's

653
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 3: something where you know it.

654
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: It seems to me that I kind of I think

655
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: I understood the situation because, you know, having been an

656
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: intelligence officer, I understand that this is I don't even

657
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: want to say publicly some of the ways that I've communicated.

658
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 3: With people that have been in the field in the past.

659
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: Let's just say they're far less uh far less secure

660
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: than signal.

661
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, but because of convenience.

662
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 4: Yeah. And so to your to your earlier question, like,

663
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 4: of course we're looking at you know, more all in cards, yes, yes,

664
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 4: oh my god, Yeah, of course we're looking at more modern,

665
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 4: secure ways to communicate in real time, because, as you said,

666
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 4: the president doesn't sleep. The president is all over the world,

667
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 4: all over the country. The secretary is all over the world,

668
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 4: all over the country, and oftentimes working in a skiff.

669
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 4: So you have to be able to communicate on the fly.

670
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 4: You have to be able to communicate at the speed

671
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,439
Speaker 4: of relevance on a battlefield that changes on a dime.

672
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 4: And and we're working on ways to develop and do

673
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 4: that right now, what is now?

674
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 3: I only have it for a couple more minutes.

675
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 1: I asked Press Secretary Wilson yesterday regarding this Senator Wicker

676
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: and this situation over the US Senate. She said that

677
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: there was a phone call between the Secretary and Senator Wicker.

678
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: I think that was the first time that's been publicly acknowledged.

679
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: Could you tell us anything else about that phone call?

680
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: Or the current status of all that.

681
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 4: So the Secretary you're talking about with the marketation of

682
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 4: market No, no, no, no, this was.

683
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:04,479
Speaker 1: This was learning Senator Wicker potentially looking into war crime zone.

684
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 4: Oh oh we're talking. Yeah, we're talking there. Yeah, another

685
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 4: fake narrative, fake war crimes.

686
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 3: And this being the fact that it's a Republican senator.

687
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 4: Yeah. So, so I'll tell you that the Secretary a

688
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 4: couple of days ago talked to Chairman Rogers on the

689
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 4: hask and talked to Chairman Chairman Wicker and and those

690
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 4: conversations went as as I understand.

691
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 3: It, very very well.

692
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 4: And the narrative in the media that you see is that, oh,

693
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 4: we don't talk to Congress enough. I think there have

694
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 4: been thirteen briefings on southcomb operations with members of Congress

695
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 4: to try to keep them in the loop. But yeah,

696
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 4: I mean, part of our job is to you know,

697
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 4: the President has a mission. He's told us that defense

698
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 4: of the homeland is a is a main priority and

699
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 4: a main pillar of that mission. Uh, And part of

700
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,959
Speaker 4: it is stopping drugs fentanyl from flowing into our into

701
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 4: our country.

702
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what we're doing. And we're going to

703
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 3: keep doing it.

704
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: Is there any is there any plan to have Secretary

705
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: head seth head over to conduct briefings either classified or

706
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: unclassified with the with the committees.

707
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 4: So I think Admiral Bradley is the then commander of

708
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 4: Jaysock and now the SOOCOM commander is going to be

709
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 4: on the hill this week talking about it. But like

710
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 4: I said, the Secretary is in regular contact with with

711
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 4: with members of the HASK and the SASK and he's

712
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 4: going to continue to do that. But we're also going

713
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 4: to continue to get after this mission because it's important

714
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 4: to protect our homeland. You know, like where we are

715
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 4: the first Department of Defense, Department of War that's actually

716
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 4: prioritized defending the homeland. You remember some of the images

717
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 4: of our southern border under Biden, like where the military

718
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 4: is being overwhelmed and illegals a streaming into the country.

719
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 3: I don't think I'll ever forget them.

720
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 4: It's kind of crazy, right that it just took a

721
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 4: president with a spine like President Trump's in an Act

722
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 4: of Congress bring it all to a stop, John, we

723
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 4: are They're they're.

724
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 3: Calling us out and end of the time, it's the

725
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 3: next time.

726

734
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 3: All right, Jack, So back live here, Human Events.

735
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 1: Daily Live and wash actually Arlington, Virginia, just adjacent to Washington,

736
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:31,439
Speaker 1: d C. At the Office of the Secretary of War,

737
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: also known as the Pentagon. Folks, Let's face it, this

738
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: is amazing because of course, wait, I have to say,

739
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: so we're doing the silent ad. All right, we got

740
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: the silent and that's the Faraday Cages. But this is

741
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: amazing because I'm doing the Faraday Cage silent ad and

742
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: of course this christ is what you get it. But

743
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: we're doing that inside the Pentagon, literally from inside the Pentagon,

744
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: with all of the intel agencies having ties to this building.

745
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: And on the same day that the Signal Gate story

746
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: just came out. So if there was ever a place,

747
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: if there was ever a day that you wanted to

748
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: be sure about the security of your phone, it is today.

749
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: And this is the place because folks, Let's face it,

750
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: your phone is a tracking device. Government agencies like perhaps

751
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: the one I'm in right now, big tech, corporate data brokers,

752
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: and even cyber criminals. They're all fighting for a piece

753
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: of your digital footprint. They don't ask, they just take it.

754
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: That is why Silent exists. Silent makes Faraday gear that

755
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: blocks all wireless signals cellular, Wi Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, RFID,

756
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: nd NFC. No signal means no tracking, no remote access,

757
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: no breadcrumbs. Same tech that's trusted by special operations teams worldwide.

758
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,959
Speaker 1: It's used to block signals, avoid surveillance, and secure communications

759
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,040

778
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: it gives us paper, me this piece of paper and says,

779
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: we have an update for you on the signal I report.

780
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: We want this in right now. And I said, okay,

781
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: do you want you know, do you want me to

782
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,479
Speaker 1: bring this up? And I said, well, when when Sean

783
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: Parnell comes in, I'm the chief spokesman. We want him

784
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: to talk about it, and he wants to talk about it.

785
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: And so you think of the narrative that they've been

786
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: pushing at us, saying that oh, you're in the new

787
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: Pentagon Press Corps that you know, you've got Jack Pasovic,

788
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: James O'Keefe and guys from Tim Poole are there, and

789
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: you got the post millennial and human events and all

790
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: the rest, and and we can bring him in if

791
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: he's ready, and you're not asking any serious questions. They

792
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: came to us and said, we want to talk about

793
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: the IG report on Signal. We want to talk about it.

794
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: So they came to me and said, can we ask

795
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: about this? And I said, I'd love to ask you

796
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: about this, and I'm going to ask you hard questions.

797
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you serious questions. We're going to

798
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: get into it. I want to hear the nitty gritty

799
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: and let's get the facts out. And that's what this

800
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: is all about, ladies and gentlemen. It's about not saying,

801
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: you know that we're not going to ask about the

802
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: hard questions. Venezuela. Are we going to a regime change

803
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: in Venezuela. I don't know, but there's people in this

804
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: building who might know. We're going to ask that question.

805
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: The drone strikes. What is happening with these drone strikes?

806
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 1: Are are they actually hitting people who are just floating

807
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: around in the water like survivors? Well, you saw the

808
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: commander here and he walked through it. He walked through

809
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: the legalities of that that if you have a vessel

810
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 1: that is recoverable by a terrorist organization that still has

811
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: those narcotic content on there, which is which is a

812
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: commodity that can then be traded and then sold in

813
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: the US market, not only just for of course, for sale,

814
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: but then use for that funding that goes back to

815
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: that organization. Then that is still a legal target, is

816
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: a lawful target of the United States military under those authorities.

817
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 3: That is the difference.

818
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: And we're here asking those serious questions, and in fact,

819
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate the fact that they gave us serious answers,

820
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: and ultimately, ultimately, just like in any other media, it

821
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: is up to you, the American people, to be the

822
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: ones to decide what you do with that. And again,

823
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: you know, we think about different things, and you know,

824
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: you go back to say the Pentagon papers right all

825
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: the way back during the Vietnam War and questions about

826
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 1: whether or not the Vietnam War was going well and

827
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: the fact and that was a Democrat scandal, right, that

828
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: was something where it was.

829
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 3: But again it was a military industrial complex.

830
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: That was mac Namara, that was Johnson, that they were

831
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: up there every day saying, oh, the war's going fine,

832
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: the war's going fine. The war's going fine, and that

833
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: just wasn't the truth. And inside this building, inside the Pentagon,

834
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: this very same building, I think, and you know, I

835
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: really should have you know, we've been doing all these

836
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: interviews about news of the day, but the history of

837
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: this building is so incredible. And in this building they

838
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: had reports during Vietnam that the war was not going well,

839
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: and that story came out, and the truth needs to

840
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: come out, specifically and most importantly when it comes to

841
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: issues of war, of life and death. That's what human

842
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: events stands for, whether now, whether in the past or

843
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: whether it's in the future, we will always stand for that.

844
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: And if America's interests are being called into question, then

845
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: we want to know are these operations being done for

846
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: the interests of the American people or are they being

847
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: done to serve some other purpose. That's our job here.

848
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: That's going to be continuing to be my job. And

849
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, really, when you look, really, when you look

850
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: at the history of the Pentagon, not only of course

851
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: you know the Pentagon papers, but you go all the

852
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 1: way back to nine to eleven, and you go back

853
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: to the rings that were smashed here on that day.

854
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 1: The people who saw the plane flying over on the bridge,

855
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 1: the bridge that I drove over just this morning to

856
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: come into this building. When you think about the different

857
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: operations that were fought and run out of this building,

858
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: it's truly, it's truly remarkable and it's incredible history. This

859
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 1: building is built all the way back during World War Two,

860
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: so really only spent two years building. It's an old

861
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: building coming up on a one hundred year anniversary, and

862
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: it features in you know, it's just a building like

863
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: any other. It's an office building. There's various you know

864
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: this colmes to it, but we do every once in

865
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: a while get a couple of generals in, in fact,

866
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: like General Tata, who we have here joining us right now.

867
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: General please come in and sit down. We only actually

868
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: have a couple of minutes left for until the end

869
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: of the show.

870
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 3: But what I'd love.

871
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: To do if we can, we'll get you on for

872
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: the last two minutes and then we'll go over a

873
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: little bit and we'll play play on the next time.

874
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: But I want to say thank you so much for

875
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: joining us. It's good to see you again at the

876
00:45:58,600 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: first time.

877
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 3: In the seeon on air on everything you're doing, the.

878
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: Apprecipacities, congratulations, to you as well when when we're talking

879
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: about though, the military readiness, the quality of life, just

880
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 1: just in the in one minute, what would you say

881
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: the difference has been between the previous administration and.

882
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 8: Now we're focused on those things that unify us, et cetera,

883
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 8: those things that divide us. We're focused on unity of command,

884
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 8: unity admission instead of a critical race theory and DJI.

885
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 8: That's that's once since such a and.

886
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: It's it's really as simple as that, folks, because you

887
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: have a situation where now it's it's about every war

888
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: fighter and and every member of the military, which by

889
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,240
Speaker 1: the way, includes families, which includes dependents, children, which includes

890
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: the equality of life on base. It doesn't matter what

891
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: your politics are, or what your your your critical race,

892
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:48,919
Speaker 1: et cetera.

893
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 3: None of that matters. That's all something that affects everyone.

894
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 8: Recruiting is off the charts, Jack, since President was elected,
